Herne Bay Sports Hub

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2023

Structure, governance and management

Herne Bay Sports Hub is a charitable company limited by guarantee not having share capital, registered in England (No. 10924397) and is a registered charity (No. 1180849).

The Herne Bay Sports Hub is home to four of Herne Bay's amateur sports clubs boasting state of the art sports facilities. These include two full size hockey pitches, a full size artificial football pitch and two grass mini pitches, six tennis courts and a cricket ground. All the artificial surfaces are floodlit.

The trustees have delegated the day to day running of the charity to Jon Warden.

The trustees are selected by the four clubs where the representation is two members per club.

Risk management

The trustees are satisfied that they have assessed the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed. Systems have been established to mitigate those risks and are periodically reviewed to ensure they are still meeting the charitable company's needs.

Volunteers

Volunteers make up the back bone of the amateur sports clubs working at all levels. These volunteers embody the Charity's objectives and provide coaching and mentoring to the members of the clubs in a fun and safe setting. Volunteers also provide leadership and governance to the Charity via the team of trustees.

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects are specifically restricted to the advancement of amateur sport for the benefit of the public of Herne Bay and the surrounding area, in particular but not exclusively by providing facilities for playing Cricket, Football, Hockey and Tennis.

Each component club values their role in creating a successful and fully inclusive community. As such, each club works with all sexes, genders and abilities supported by the Hub.

In planning our activities over the year we kept in mind the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit and looked to align these activities against our objectives regularly at our quarterly trustee meetings, our clubs monthly executive meetings and throughout the season.

Achievements and performance

The Football, Hockey and Tennis clubs all run over twenty teams each in leagues throughout Kent. The Cricket club currently runs one senior team with plans to develop their junior section.

The Hockey and Tennis clubs welcome both adult and junior new members and have a program of coaching to offer something for every ability and age.

The Football club has a growing mini soccer section where children from the age of 5 can come along for sessions in a fun and safe setting.

Both Football and Hockey have a thriving Walking Hockey/Football section.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Herne Bay Sports Hub

Year ended 31 August 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Herne Bay Sports Hub ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

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.

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 August 2023

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 45 Pigeon Lane, Herne Bay, Kent, CT6 7ES.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Disclosure exemptions

The entity has taken advantage of disclosure exemptions as is a small charity therefore has omitted to prepare a cash flow statement.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements that have a significant impact on the amounts recognised. Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Herne Bay Sports Hub

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment - 10% straight line

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Financial instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value.

4. Limited by guarantee

The charitable company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity winding up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
