Objectives and activities

The charity was registered as a Foundation CIO on 20 August 2018. The objects as per the constitution are:

The relief of the poor and those in need by reasons of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or such other disadvantage or such other charitable purposes as the trustees may from time to time direct.

The charity achieves those objectives primarily through the publication of "Morgan's Historic and Classic Vehicle Events Yearbook".

Review of the Year

This is the seventh year Burnley Rotary Club CIO has produced Morgan’s Classic Car Events Diary. Since COVID we have continued to increase sales to a respectable level. Display advertising revenue still continues to recover the cost of production and postage.

We continue to distribute the surplus funds to Charitable causes. Caution is taken to ensure the monies we distribute go to organisations who need funds but have a sustainable future. At this moment in time the Yearbook is the only project processed through this CIO .

Charitable donations of £5,600 were made in the year to local, national and international causes.

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Reserves and risk management

The income, which includes book sales, advertising and donations, is applied firstly to the costs of producing the yearbook secondly to retaining working capital for the charity and finally to provide funds for grants and donations to local, national and international charities.

On 9 December 2025, the trustees resolved to designate £10,000 as a reserve to safeguard the production of the Morgan’s Historic & Classic Vehicle Events Yearbook. This reserve is intended to cover any outstanding expenditure should the publication become unviable, for example due to a loss of advertising revenue or other publication-related issues.

Trustees' Report (continued)

In addition, the trustees agreed to establish a contingency reserve of £10,000 to cover the cost of rebuilding the charity’s website by an external provider, should the current developer be unable to continue due to ill health or other circumstances.

Risks are considered by the trustees.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is governed by its constitution dated 20 August 2018. There are six trustees appointed. Regular meetings are held as needed.

Mr C Allison, Trustee, received payments from the charity for provision of printing, delivery and publishing services amounting to £8,380. This is permitted by the constitution.

The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 27 April 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Burnley Rotary Club CIO

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Burnley Rotary Club CIO for the year ended 30 June 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of Burnley Rotary Club CIO 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 Burnley Rotary Club CIO's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

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:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Burnley Rotary Club CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.
