Section D Achievements and performance During the 2024–2025 reporting year, Ryecroft Judokwai continued to Summary of the main deliver on its charitable objectives of advancing community participation, achievements of the charity grassroots development, and elite sporting excellence. Our athletes during the year competed at the highest levels internationally, highlighted by Dan Powell capturing the 2025 IBSA European Championship title and Charlie Young securing podium finishes across the Senior European circuit. Domestically, the charity reached the semi-finals of the Ares Judo Premiership, showcasing our collective depth and team spirit. Early within this reporting period, the charity’s transport van was stolen. The van was delivering on its intended use to provide transport for national level judo participants, as well as visually impaired participants for training sessions at the Ryecroft Judokwai dojo – with the added benefit in supporting coach education for Rycroft Judokwai coaches. The incident was reported to the police and the insurance provider. The claim has been resolved, with an associated loss on the van of £7433. Due to the loss of this investment, the trustees are still considering the best course of action to support participation across the wider geographic area. Participation also remains strong across all training sessions. The charity now caters for ‘tots judo’ and opens from 5.30 p.m. in the evening, through to a 10 p.m. close at the finish of adult classes. Evening sessions run three nights a week, with additional classes on Sunday mornings. Regular gradings have been running on a Sunday, with progression across all ages, grades, and genders. Children’s classes have benefitted from splitting out the youngest players into the ‘tots’ session. This has supported a greater focus on the development and retention of early-teenage players. Similarly, retention of ‘masters’ (over 30 years old) has been strong, with some parents being encouraged onto the mat by their children. Representation in age group competition was particularly impressive this year, with attendance at the Paris Masters Judo World Championships. Coaching development continues to take place, with one coach achieving British Judo Association Level 2 certification. Financially, the charity continues to be well managed, achieving a balance between investment in paid coaching services, and retention of financial reserves.

| Recognition of income Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Investment gains and losses These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated goods Contractual income and performance related grants Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. |

Section D Achievements and performance During the 2024–2025 reporting year, Ryecroft Judokwai continued to Summary of the main deliver on its charitable objectives of advancing community participation, achievements of the charity grassroots development, and elite sporting excellence. Our athletes during the year competed at the highest levels internationally, highlighted by Dan Powell capturing the 2025 IBSA European Championship title and Charlie Young securing podium finishes across the Senior European circuit. Domestically, the charity reached the semi-finals of the Ares Judo Premiership, showcasing our collective depth and team spirit. Early within this reporting period, the charity’s transport van was stolen. The van was delivering on its intended use to provide transport for national level judo participants, as well as visually impaired participants for training sessions at the Ryecroft Judokwai dojo – with the added benefit in supporting coach education for Rycroft Judokwai coaches. The incident was reported to the police and the insurance provider. The claim has been resolved, with an associated loss on the van of £7433. Due to the loss of this investment, the trustees are still considering the best course of action to support participation across the wider geographic area. Participation also remains strong across all training sessions. The charity now caters for ‘tots judo’ and opens from 5.30 p.m. in the evening, through to a 10 p.m. close at the finish of adult classes. Evening sessions run three nights a week, with additional classes on Sunday mornings. Regular gradings have been running on a Sunday, with progression across all ages, grades, and genders. Children’s classes have benefitted from splitting out the youngest players into the ‘tots’ session. This has supported a greater focus on the development and retention of early-teenage players. Similarly, retention of ‘masters’ (over 30 years old) has been strong, with some parents being encouraged onto the mat by their children. Representation in age group competition was particularly impressive this year, with attendance at the Paris Masters Judo World Championships. Coaching development continues to take place, with one coach achieving British Judo Association Level 2 certification. Financially, the charity continues to be well managed, achieving a balance between investment in paid coaching services, and retention of financial reserves.
