## **Future Fit - Junior Field Gun (FF)**
## **Our Aims and Objectives**
1. The following objectives were approved by the Charity Commission and feature in FF’s written Constitution:
- **To act as a resource for young people by providing advice and assistance and organising a junior field gun programme which involves physical and educational and other activities as a means of advancing them in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals.**
- **To facilitate and support Object 1 by engaging in the manufacture of Junior Field Gun equipment, which is specially designed for the subject market.**
2. Until April of 2018, FF was part of a Charitable Company, which had been involved with introducing Junior Field Gun into the education sector for six years. At the end of 2017 the charitable company was dissolved and the Future Fit element became a charity in its own right. However its purpose remains unchanged, i.e. FF manufactures wooden replica Boer War 9 lb guns and limbers and sells them to Primary schools, with a Senior version selling to Colleges.
3. Future Fit request each school to pay an Affiliation Fee of £100, each year, to help defray the costs of maintenance and other expenses. The list below identifies some of these benefits and presents a value for money scenario, as follows:
- **Training** . Initially, combined training of a member of the school’s staff and the school’s JFG Crew. Once the school’s Trainer is competent to train the team unaided the FF Coach withdraws, but is always available, if necessary. Subsequently, should the school’s JFG Trainer be unable to continue as Trainer - for whatever reason - a FF Coach will visit the school again to train a replacement, should the in-post Trainer have moved to another school/retired, etc., and no handover was possible before the Trainer’s departure.
- **Maintenance of Units** . While the JFG units are robust and can withstand hard usage, there comes a time when wear and tear takes its toll and the unit needs an MOT on safety grounds. In such cases the unit will be collected and taken to FF’s workshop, where it will be brought back to pristine condition.
- **Events** . FF’s annual highlight is the Inter-school Tournament that takes place on Plymouth Hoe. FF coordinates this Event with the Armed Forces Day organisers and the Plymouth Council Event Management team. The schools taking part are supplied with a time-table, which advises each school at what time the school’s team(s) will be ‘running’ and which school team(s) they will be competing against. FF provide JFG units, so no transport costs are incurred. Bottled Spring water is supplied for the children, hopefully, to cut down on the amount of organising the schools need to do. FF, also, provide trophies, medals and certificates, at no cost to the schools. All the schools have to do is get their teams to the Hoe; and, if possible, provide a tent for shelter. FF have been invited to organise a similar event for affiliated Portsmouth schools.
- **Further Opportunities** . In addition to the above, FF organises a mini inter-school tournament in Plymouth’s Piazza Square (photos on the last page of this document); which FF is trying to make an annual feature.
- **Mayflower 400 in 2020** . Plymouth City Council’s plans for the 400th anniversary of the Plymouth Founding Fathers’ setting sail for the New World, with a year long period of commemoration, which began in November 2019. Regrettably, while these plans have been severely disrupted, owing to the Covid 19 pandemic, efforts to do what was possible continued.

## **Future Fit - Junior Field Gun (FF)**
## **Ensuring Our Work Delivers Our Aims**
1. FF has a workshop, in which the painting, assembly and the tricky finishing work is carried out by volunteers. FF’s Operations Manager, Dave Worrall, has been supported in the workshop by a qualified carpenter, with additional help from Salvation Army homeless and volunteers. Dave has, also, close connections to the Probationary Service, who send along minor offenders, who can work out their community service helping to paint and then assemble Junior Field Guns. A number have remained in contact and have become volunteers at some of our Events.
> 2. Almost on a daily basis FF’s Operations Manager visits schools to either, give presentations, discuss the ramifications of Junior Field Gun to Head teachers interested in having a Crew of their own and delivering purchased units. As we are a children’s charity organisations frequently make a donation that allows FF to present a free unit to schools that do not have the funds to partake. The following are some of the donors:
- Mr. John McAndrew, who has pledged to donate a substantial sum, each year, as described
- under Future Plans.
- HMS GANGES Association x 2 units.
- RoperJames Solicitors x 1 unit.
- The Federation Of Plymouth And District Ex-Services Associations x 2 units.
- Clemas Trust x 3 units.
> 3. In addition, Bob Hunter, who is one of FF’s Trustees, is also a Director of Student Journey at City College Plymouth, through whom FF has been able to benefit from their sponsorship in the following areas:
- Providing a classroom for Board Meetings.
- Assisting with the production of certificates, etc., by courtesy of their Printing Department.
- Producing promotional DVDs via the college’s Graphics Design Department.
- Bob’s apprentices have, also, worked on genuine late 19[th ] century field pieces owned by HMS DRAKE Sea Cadets at FF’s behest.

## **Future Plans**
> 1. With over 70 primary schools in Devon, and over 200 in Cornwall, the 30+ primary schools affiliated to FF informs the reader where FF is in terms of capturing the primary school JFG market in Devon and Cornwall. To make in-roads into this huge market it will require a team of individuals who can coordinate Sales, Production and Procurement, a team which FF do not, currently, have. While FF has volunteers to assist the Operations Manager (OM) at Events, most of the time, the OM is managing the day-to-day functions on his own. However, a very important donor, who keeps a very close eye on the workings of FF, has pledged £30,000 a year, for 10 years, to enable FF to employ part-time staff to relieve the OM of mundane activities, leaving him more time to develop influential contacts, etc. Two high calibre individuals - one of them a trustee - now share four days a week between them. Dividing the management responsibilities between three individuals, instead of just one, has provided a much better development platform for the charity’s commercial opportunities in the southern counties.
> 2. Following an invitation to the OM, by a high ranking Portsmouth Council official, a meeting, at which the JFG opportunities in Portsmouth were discussed, resulted in Portsmouth Council agreeing to support Portsmouth schools that wished to emulate FF’s Plymouth organisation. Plymouth and Portsmouth are both naval towns that have been training RN Command Field Gun Teams for over 100 years, to compete against each other at the Royal Tournament, Earls Court, London. In the Portsmouth area two teams were based: Fleet Air Arm and Portsmouth. It is no surprise, therefore that, like Devonport, the population of Portsmouth have an affinity with Field Gun. Thanks to this affinity two Hants schools are now practising Junior Field Gun - Rowner Primary School ( **Gosport, Hants** ) and Crofton Ann Dale Junior **(Fareham, Hants).** At the time of the Covid outbreak there were eight other schools interested.
## **Management and Administration**
1. FF’s Governing Document is its ‘Constitution’. When FF decided to become a charity in its own right the trustees elected to become a Foundation CIO, because the charity no longer had a membership. It would, also, no longer be a Company and therefore have no statutory obligations to Companies House.
> 2. Risk Management. When dealing with schools there is more than just a simple Risk Asses ~~sment required. W~~ e are, also, obliged by schools and Show Event organisers, etc., to supply the following documents without which they will NOT allow us to participate:
- £5m Public Liability insurance.
- Risk Assessment Policy
- Safeguarding Policy
- Events Method Statement. This is best described as an overall umbrella of things that we may or may not do, together with the appropriate risk assessment forms. This can be adapted for any Event we attend, such as: HMS Drake and Babcock families Day. It seems that most companies have these nowadays and that's what Event organisers now demand from FF.
- All FF Coaches are EDBS cleared.
> 3. Organisational Structure. At the close of 2020, Future Fit had a Board of Trustees of 8 members, who meet, approximately, every six weeks to discuss and maintain the charity’s forward strategy and policies. At present the Board has 3 members that are not ex-field gunners, but who have been invited onto the board because of their distinct expertise and contacts. The Hon Secretary/Treasurer is, also, a trustee and has voting rights.
Page 5
4. The charity has a team of Honorary officials, as follows:
- Operations Manager
- Secretary/Treasurer
- Risk and Safeguarding Assessor
- Management Planner
- Newsletter Editor
- Schools’ Liaison Officer
In addition to the above the charity has a number of volunteers working in a honorary capacity.
5. Related Parties. FF is an independent entity; however, working with schools brings the charity into constant contact with senior members of Plymouth Council, in particular the Senior Leadership Adviser (RA & NTG) Education, Learning & Families.
## **Responsibilities of the Board of Trustees**
> 1. Charity Commission regulations state that a charity, such as FF, are required to prepare a Trustees Annual Return, which gives a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s financies, as at the Balance Sheet date and of its application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the Board should follow best practice and:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is not appropriate to assume that the charity will continue on that basis.
2. The Board of Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy, at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity Commission regulations. The Board is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
3. Members of the Board. Members of a Foundation CIO’s Board of Trustees are, also, deemed to be Members for technical reasons. A list of Board members is listed on page 16.
## **Financial Overview**
## **Fixed Assets**
1. At the end of 2013 the Armed Forces Community Covenant Grant Scheme awarded DFGA a £52,900 grant, in order to promote the sport of Junior Field Gun in primary schools. This enabled the purchase of a Peugeot Boxer Panel Van, for use in transporting finished units to schools and return when repairs were needed. It also enabled the purchase of a trailer to enable the transport of JFG units to competitions, etc.
> 2. On 16[th ] October 2017, at a General Meeting of Devonport Field Gun Association Ltd., the Board of Directors passed a motion to dissolve the charitable company, which would permit the Heritage element to revert back to being an unincorporated Association and FF to become an entity in its own right. In addition, so that the company’s accounting period could be 31[st ] December 2017, it was decided to keep the charity ‘live’ until that point. As the Fixed Assets were purchased, specifically, to enable FF to develop the new JFG sport, it was acknowledged and approved that the Fixed Assets should be transferred to the new FF organisation.
Page 6
## **Current Assets**
> 1. As FF’s accounts will prove, FF has been, extremely, fortunate to have a benefactor, who is prepared to sponsor FF by £30,000 per year for 10 years. FF has recently received the third tranche of £30,000. This money is to be regarded as ‘designated’, because the annual donations will be used, primarily, to pay part-time subcontracted personnel to assist with the day-to-day task of helping the Operations Manager with organisational tasks that normal volunteers could not guarantee the time to accomplish on a regular basis. Where appropriate, it will, also, be used to purchase JFGs for schools in deprived areas, where a large part of the school’s budget is used to minimise any disadvantages the school faces in educating the children.
## **Principal Funding Source**
1. FF manufactures two types of field guns, as follows:
- Junior Field Gun, at a sales price of £750, plus £100 affiliation fee.
- Senior Field Gun, at a sales price of £2,500.
The above income is supplemented by sundry items, such as gaiters and memorabilia. It is hoped to develop a range of memorabilia to sell at major Events.
## **Gift Aid**
> 1. At 31[st ] December 2019, FF had claimable donations of £63,573, on which it received £15,671 of gift aid and relief on 7th May 2019. Under **Current Assets** , on this page, it explains that FF have been pledged £30,000 per year for 10 years. In 2018 circumstances dictated that, instead of £30,000, £60,000 (2 years worth) was donated instead. The third tranche of £30,000 has been donated in this financial year, which will bring in a further £7500 Gift Aid that will be claimed in 2021.
> 2. At 31[st ] December 2019, FF had claimable donations of £230.00. A claim will be submitted in 2021, when the latter sum will be added to by 2020 donations of £30,288, making a total claim of £30,518.
## **Donated JFGs**
1. In addition to our principal sponsor, a growing number of donors have sponsored JFG units that have been presented to schools.

## **Notes forming part of the Financial Statements of FF for the year ended 31[st ] December 2020**
## **Accounting Policies**
1. The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year.
## **(a) Basis of accounting**
FF’s accounting process is based on the Charity Commission's regulations governing Accrual accounting procedures.
## **(b) Fund accounting**
**Unrestricted** funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
**Designated** funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Management Committee for particular purposes.
**Restricted** funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.
## **(c) Incoming resources**
Voluntary income is received by way of grants and donations and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.
Incoming resources from charitable trading activity are accounted for when earned.
## **(d) Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised in accordance with FF’s accounting process. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the charity’s memorabilia sales.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the fees for the ‘Independent Examination’ and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource.
Page 8
## **(e) Fixed Assets**
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life; which, in all cases, is deemed to be 5 years. Impairment reviews are carried out as and when evidence comes to light that the recoverable amount of a functional fixed asset is below its net book value due to damage, obsolescence or other relevant factors.
## **(f) Material Designated Funds**
As detailed in the trustee’s annual report a material designated fund has been received in the year. This fund has been designated by the management committee for the following purposes, as detailed within the paragraph “Future Plans” and “Current Assets” on page 5 and 7 of the annual report: “to enable FF to employ part-time staff to relieve the OM of mundane activities, leaving him more time to develop influential contacts, etc.”
The opening balance of this fund was £30,000. The movement of this fund equated to £2,125, with a closing balance of £27,875 as at 31[st] December 2020.
