TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019)
Objectives and activities
The charity's objectives are the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation by the provision of facilities for running and the playing of cricket and football. These aims are achieved by the operation of sports club facilities in Lower Bourne, Surrey and surrounding areas.
Sport has been played on the Bourne Recreation Area (Bourne Green) which is owned and managed by Waverley Borough Council for many years. The Sports and Community Pavilion at the Bourne Green is managed by The Bourne Green Sports Club, which includes Farnham Runners, Bourne Blades Football Club and Bourne Cricket Club.
The Sports & Community Pavilion will also be available to local interest groups, hobby and action groups and committees who require space to hold their meetings.
Disabled members of the local community have full access to and use of both the changing areas and the other facilities within the Pavilion.
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
On 1 April 2018 the three sports clubs (comprising football, cricket and running) formally transferred their activities to the charity. Formal arrangements have been agreed as to the operation of such pavilion including policies and procedures to be adopted. Senior representatives of each club have also been added as trustees of the charity. The results of the three clubs for the year are reflected in these accounts.
2024/25 again saw a strong growth in the membership in all Sports. Youth football and cricket saw the girls section expand across all age ranges along. This expansion, although very welcome, increases the cost of hiring pitches to support the growing number of teams.
Waverley Borough Council has provided planning permission to improve accessibility to The Sports and Community Pavilion. Much of the funding for this project has been provided by Surrey County Council and the charity’s own funds. The work for this project will start in September 2025.
Financial review
The net income for the year was £45,750 (2024- £8,573)
Total income was £218,500 (2024-£191,644). Income from charitable activities from the three clubs was £176,048 (2024-£147,689). Total expenditure was £172,750 (2024-£183,071) which is made up of charitable expenditure for the clubs of £152,937 (2024-£157,994) , fundraising costs of £19,813 and governance costs of £1,200 (2024£1,200). A breakdown of the income and expenditure for each club is recorded in notes 4 and 6.
Going concern
The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
Accordingly, the Trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. Further details regarding adoption of the going concern basis can be found in note 1.2 to the financial statements.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

BOURNE GREEN SPORTS CLUB
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BOURNE GREEN SPORTS CLUB
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Bourne Green Sports Club (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the
examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Bourne Green Sports Club is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales. The registered office is 73 Cornhill, London EC3V 3QQ.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.
