## **Blackheath Rugby Charitable Trust** ## **Trustees Annual Report for Period 1[st] July 2020-30[th] June 2021** ## **Aim, Purposes, Objectives and Activities** “To promote community participation in healthy recreation for the public benefit by providing facilities and coaching for the playing of amateur rugby union football and other sports that are capable of advancing physical health and fitness. For the public benefit to advance the education (including social and physical training) of young people in such ways as the charity trustees think fit, and in particular by the provision of coaching to support educational courses. To provide and assist in providing facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of such persons who have need for such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life”. ## **Achievements and Performance** The financial year from 1[st] July 2020 to 30[th] June 2021 marked the second year of operation of the Blackheath Rugby Charitable Trust. During the year, our facilities were rented by The Pointer School, Leigh Academy (part), Blackheath Rhinos Football Club, Greenwich and Lewisham District Cricket and Blackheath Cricket Club during the week. These facilities are also being used by Blackheath Rugby for our 6-11 year olds plus our girls section from September through to the end of April. ## **Financial Review** The first year of operation of BRCT was from 1[st] August 2019 to 30[th] June 2020, so not a full financial year. However, the financial year and has now been subsequently amended to align with the financial year end of Blackheath Rugby Limited and Blackheath Football Club Limited. During this period, BRCT received donations and gift aid of £4,875 and also received a government covid grant of £12,372 which was the provision brought forward from the previous accounting period. We also managed to realise income from renting out pitch use of £45,861. Our bar income was not greatly increased from the previous period and unfortunately we received no sponsorship on the ground which we had benefitted from in the previous accounting period. Management and maintenance costs during the period were £37,379 which is slightly up on the previous period but proportionately similar when one considers that in the previous accounting period, the period was only for 11 months and not 12 months. During the period, we also invested in an internet system at Hervey Road which resulted in a cost of £4,725. Accountancy and legal fees were also a lot higher in the current period as the cost of the previous period’s audit and accountancy was incorrectly allocated to a related entity and this has now been adjusted. Overall, net income for the year was £8,448. When added to the retained funds in the previous period, the total funds available to BRCT stand at £21,628 as at 30[th] June 2021. ## **Reserves** In future years, it is the policy of the trustees to maintain a positive balance on unrestricted funds of at least £10,000 to cover emergency situations requiring expenditure that may arise from time to time. ## **Volunteers** We would like to thank all of our volunteers who work so hard maintaining our facilities for use by the local community. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The site is managed on a daily basis by Alan Thompson as President of Blackheath Football Club. The trustees of BRCT are responsible for making decisions on all matters. ## **Administration Information** The administrational office and correspondence address for Blackheath Rugby Charitable Trust is at The Club at Well Hall, Kidbrooke Lane, Eltham, London SE9 6TE. The following trustees have served from 1[st] July 2020 to 30[th] June 2021: Russell Ticehurst James Skinner Paul Roberts Simon Botes Approved by the Board of Trustees on 22[nd] April 2022. **REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER: 1173677** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES AND** **UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021** ## **FOR** ## **BLACKHEATH RUGBY CHARITABLE TRUST** Berringers LLP Chartered Accountants Lygon House 50 London Road Bromley Kent BR1 3RA **BLACKHEATH RUGBY CHARITABLE TRUST** **CONTENTS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2021** ||**Page**| |---|---| |**Report of the trustees**|1| |**Statement of financial activities**|2| |**Balance sheet**|3| |**Notes to the financial statements**|4 to 7| |**Detailed statement of financial activities**|8| ## **BLACKHEATH RUGBY CHARITABLE TRUST** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 30 June 2021** The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2021.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. ## **Income** All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. ## **Expenditure** Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.
