Trustees' Report

The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2024.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the CIO are:

To promote affordable community participation in healthy recreation by providing and maintaining facilities for all members of the public who wish to participate, regardless of ability, in playing cricket, association football, rugby union football and other outdoor sports and activities in the interests of social welfare.

To provide and assist in providing facilities for sport, recreation or other leisure time occupation of such persons who have need for such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life.

To advance the health and wellbeing of children and young people through the provision of opportunities and facilities to participate in team based sports such as cricket, association football and rugby union football to develop their physical,mental and spiritual capabilities to enable them to grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.

Public benefit

Activities aim to further or benefit the members and local residents (and its surrounding areas) in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the members, residents and local community.

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.

Achievements and performance

Various events were undertaken during the financial year which were greatly supported, not only by the membership but also the public at large which augurs well for the future wellbeing of the charity. These events included a Christmas Carol concert, a Bungee jump day, two Fun days and various Wild Swimming days.

In view of the wide public support, substantial funds were raised not only for the benefit of the charity itself, but also for local charities such as, Pendleside Hospice and Burnley Youth Orchestra.

Membership has continued to grow in terms of numbers and revenue thanks to an increase in the membership fees and the work by the new Membership Secretary. The introduction of a new, automated membership system has ensured a more disciplined control over memberships across all playing sections.

The trustees are pleased to confirm that once again, the club has successfully achieved its goals of improving its playing areas to the full satisfaction of the membership.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 May 2024

1 Accounting policies

General Information

Belvedere and Calder Vale Sports Club is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered with the Charities Commission in England and Wales, registration number 1180686. The charity is a public benefit entity; its principal office is at Holden Road, Burnley, Lancashire, BB10 2LE.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Belvedere and Calder Vale Sports Club meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Exemption from preparing group accounts

The charity is exempt from preparing consolidated financial statements permitted by the Charities Act 2011.

The statements are separate financial statements and therefore present information about the charity as an individual undertaking and not as a group.

The activities of the subsidiary are related to those of the charity by virtue of the subsidiary operating from premises owend by the charity, thus generating revenue for the subsidiary which may then be gifted to the parent.

The equity method is used to account for the investments in the subsidiaries.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Page 10

Belvedere and Calder Vale Sports Club

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 May 2024 (continued)

Investment income

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Page 11

Belvedere and Calder Vale Sports Club

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 May 2024 (continued)

Asset class Depreciation method and rate Land and buildings 2-10% Straight line Plant and equipment 20% Straight line

Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
