Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 October 2024
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
Objectives and activities
Objectives and aims
The objects of the charity are the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of Timperley and the surrounding area of Trafford.
The charity also aims to promote, for the benefit of the inhabitants of Timperley and the surrounding area of Trafford, the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities, by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life of said inhabitants.
This is achieved by the provision of facilities for amateur boxing in particular but not exclusively, using boxing and its training an techniques as a means of improving health and fitness and encouraging people to make healthy life choices.
Significant activities
In financial year ending 31 October 2024, the main aim of the Trustees was to oversee the build of the gym. This will allow Timperley ABC to be able to offer classes to more students, which will have an undoubted positive impact on the mental and physical wellbeing of young people in the local area.
Building work commenced in January 2022, however, this unfortunately stopped in March 2022, due to issues with the structural engineer's drawings. The builder left site and, despite numerous promises, did not return. After a lot of hard work on the Trustees part, a new tender process took place, with a new
builder appointed in December 2023. Further funding was agreed via Sport England and the building work restarted in January 2024, with the build finishing Spring 2025.
Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
The charity has provided boxing training for adults and children, as well as the provision of travel to competitions using usually the club minibus. This is not just for those taking part in the competition but also to encourage support for those taking part.
The charity has also the use of the facilities for fitness training for groups from local schools, as well as for children and young people who are not in education or training.
Financial review
Reserves policy
The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity and have concluded that to allow the charity to be managed efficiently and to continue its current activities, unrestricted reserves should be not less than six months anticipated expenditure. On this basis the current requirement is £10,400 (2023 £10,500).
The trustees have ring fenced £11,001 (2023 £81,420) of donations and sponsorship towards the new building cost and equipment. Actual free reserves at the balance sheet date amounted to £45,233 (2023 £22,594) which the trustees consider is a satisfactory level.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Timperley Amateur Boxing Club
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Timperley Amateur Boxing Club
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Timperley Amateur Boxing Club (the Trust) for the year ended 31 October 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

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.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Building Under Construction
- not provided
Expenditure in respect of the new building is capitalised when incurred. No depreciation is provided whilst the building is under construction and on completion this will be assessed by the trustees and depreciation will be provided when the asset is brought into use.
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.
Designated funds have been ring fenced by the trustees towards future expenditure on the costs of the new building.
