**EALING CROQUET CLUB A Charitable Incorporated Organisation Registered Charity Number 1180927** 

## **REPORT OF THE CHAIR OF TRUSTEES** 

Once again it was a very busy year on the lawns, across both Golf Croquet and Association Croquet. 

We successfully hosted our usual schedule of tournaments, and following our successful trip to Latvia in 2023, we welcomed teams from across the continent to our heat of the European GC Club League. 

The quality of our catering at these events is gaining a growing reputation across the croquet world! 

Ealing teams entered Croquet England national inter-club competitions and Croquet South East leagues across both codes. 

Individual club members enjoyed considerable success at tournaments across the country. 

We continued our winning streak in retaining the Lloyd-Pratt Mallet in our annual friendly against High Wycombe, and our Charity One-Ball heat raised a significant sum for this year’s designated charity the British Heart Foundation. 

We continued our efforts to widen community involvement in croquet with Pay & Play sessions and taster events, and once again welcomed a number of private hire events. 

As mentioned in last year’s report, we signed a 15-year lease with the Council in 2024. This allowed us to undertake some vital repairs to the pavilion, in return for which we will receive rent holidays. 

During this work corrosion to the ring beam at the base of the first floor was discovered, and remedial work was put in place to address this. 

The outside of the white room was given a coat of paint by members. 

New ramps and steps were installed to all three lawns, which have dramatically improved access for both players and equipment. 

The Pilates Hub took over from the personal trainer upstairs in the pavilion, making further use of the site and providing us a with a valuable source of income. 

All of the above, and much else besides, is only possible because of the enormous amount of work put in by so many members on an entirely voluntary basis. My warm thanks to all of you. 

Simon Tuke Chair

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

The Trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation for the year ending 31 December 2024. 

In preparing these accounts the Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statements 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) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **INCORPORATION** 

In 1988, a members’ croquet club named “Ealing Croquet Club” was formed as an Unincorporated Association (“the Association”). In June 2018, at an Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”), the members attending unanimously agreed to apply to the Charity Commission for Charitable Incorporated Organisation (“CIO”) status. 

Ealing Croquet Club was granted CIO status and entered in the register of charities of the Charity Commission on 30th November 2018. The CIO’s governing document is its constitution. The working name of the CIO is “Ealing Croquet Club” (ECC). On 22nd January 2019, the CIO took on the assets and liabilities of the Association. 

The Association had an unwritten arrangement with Ealing Council (‘the Council”) to have the exclusive use of a site in Lammas Park comprising three lawns and two buildings. The Council agreed to carry on the arrangement with the CIO. The CIO and the Council continued negotiation about the future arrangements during the year, concluding in taking on a new lease for the site in 2024. 

The CIO continues to operate a membership structure. Membership is open to all, with subscriptions levied in order to finance operating costs and ongoing development of the facilities. In recent years, we have been exploring other models of participation in croquet activities to allow the facility to be opened up to be enjoyed by the whole community, including running regular public Pay & Play sessions during the summer months and hosting private group bookings and community group events. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The primary purpose of the CIO as set out in the governing document is to promote community participation in healthy recreation by the provision of facilities for playing croquet. To this end, the CIO maintains and manages sports facilities comprising croquet lawns and the organising of sporting activity including coaching and competitions. 

## **STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

We refer to the Chair’s report for a note of the club’s achievements in the past year. 

The Trustees meet at four formal meetings throughout the year, and regular contact or additional meetings if necessary in between. The day to day operations of the club are delegated to an Executive Committee of volunteer officers made up from the membership covering the areas of: 

- Playing Croquet 

- Members, Communication & Retention 

- Lawns & Facilities Management 

- Development & External Engagement 

4 



**EALING CROQUET CLUB A Charitable Incorporated Organisation Registered Charity Number 1180927** 

The minimum number of Trustees is three and the maximum number is twelve. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the company other than as playing members. The Trustees are satisfied that all our systems are compliant with the requirements of the Charity Commission. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

As Trustees, we have regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance and have taken it into account in all decision-making. We are fully aware of our place in the wider community, and believe that we have complied with our duty to have regard to the published guidance on public benefit. Membership is open to all, including those with restricted ability to pay, and we continue to develop our programme of croquet sessions for children and young adults with special educational needs. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW AND ACTIVITIES** 

The Statement of Financial Activities showed a net deficit for the year of £20,227 (2023: surplus of £30,491), which arises mainly from spending down against restricted funds and an underlying surplus of £15,677 before designations (2023: £12,300) is unrestricted. Total reserves stand at £66,071 (2023: £86,298) of which £31,374 are general unrestricted reserves (2023: £23,447), after having set aside £15,290 in designated funds for known future commitments in relation to essential renovations and repairs of the Pavilion, and £5,500 relating to the deposit on the 15 year lease. 

The CIO is primarily funded by membership fees from signed up, playing members, with additional income from guest fees, tournaments, public sessions, groups and community events at the club. 

Membership numbers fell back slightly in the year from 97 to 89 at the end of the year, although membership income remained broadly steady at £13,706 for the year due to fee increases. This income primarily funds the ongoing running expenses of the club including lawn maintenance. 

The club successfully ran 3 National and 1 Regional Tournament in the year and also hosted a heat of the European GC Club League. Income from these sources was £1,467 (net income £890). 

During 2024 we continued to run public Pay & Play sessions throughout April to September, delivering 239 sessions to family and friends groups plus sessions to 64 participants from local community groups (41% older people). These sessions meet our aim of opening the site to the local community as well as brining in income of £2,555 in the year (net income £1,910). 

The hire of part of the upstairs of the Pavilion continued under a new arrangement with Pilates Hub London, and we continued the trading agreement with the Bean ‘n’ Scone mobile coffee trike, as well as providing some smaller hires for storage facilities for other sporting groups which operate in the park. During 2024 we expanded our successful trial of 'Yoga on the lawns'. 

The CIO was also successful in securing a number of restricted grants, most notably a grant of £5,000 from the Grocers’ Charity which was matched funded by donations from the membership, and the final payment of £4,470 from the Heathrow Community Trust to add to the amounts already received from the Orbis Buchanan employee programme (Total grant £9,000), and Heathrow Community Trust (Total grant £13,410) in support of taking on the lease and renovation of the clubhouse pavilion. 

Expenditure on lawn maintenance continued at a reduced level as we continued to make our planned move towards greater self-sufficiency on lawn mowing going into 2024, having purchased a mower and storage units in the previous year part funded by a grant from Croquet England.

**EALING CROQUET CLUB A Charitable Incorporated Organisation Registered Charity Number 1180927** 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Having taken on the 15 year lease for the clubhouse and site during the year we are now planning a period of consolidation to focus on sustainable arrangements for the maintenance of the lawns, refine the management structure of the club, and continue to work to increase club membership, offering pathways from social through to competitive play to suit all members. We will continue to encourage wider participation in croquet and use of the facilities, to open the site up to the whole community to experience croquet activities, within the resources we have available to us. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

The club signed a 15-year lease with the Council in 2024. This allowed us to undertake some vital repairs to the pavilion, in return for which we will receive rent holidays. In anticipation of the need to complete these repairs, and the legal costs of taking on the lease, we had already set aside reserves from earlier years. Together with grants raised this provided the funding to commence these renovation works during 2024. During this period corrosion to the ring beam at the base of the first floor was discovered, and therefore the Trustees set aside additional designated reserves to cover the remedial work needed to address this problem during 2025. We have also set aside an amount of £5,500 equivalent to the deposit on the lease which is not available for the day-to-day operations of the club. 

Remaining general fund reserves are held to support the ongoing operations of the club. We have set a target of between £25,000 to £35,000 for these reserves to cover seasonal cash flow requirements, ongoing minor building repairs, unexpected one-off expenditure on lawns and equipment, or periods of closure as experienced during the pandemic. 

## **RELATED PARTIES** 

During the year there were no related party transactions. 

## **PAY POLICY FOR SENIOR MANAGEMENT STAFF** 

The club is run and managed solely by members of the croquet club acting on a voluntary basis. 

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Trustees have a risk management strategy that incorporates: 

- Regular review of all risks the organisation may face; 

- The development of strategies and an action plan to reduce the impact of these risks; 

- Mechanisms for monitoring the implementation and reviewing of these strategies.

## **Recruitment and appointment of Trustees** 

New Trustees will be elected by the existing Board to address key areas and skill gaps identified. All new Trustees will receive an induction on joining the Board. 

## **OUR VOLUNTEERS** 

During the year volunteers gave over many hours to help support the work of the CIO in a wide range of roles, covering all aspects of managing and running the club on a day-to-day basis. 

We are grateful to all members who come together to give their time to assist and ensure the smooth running of the club. 

## **AUDIT AND INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION** 

As a charity registered as a body corporate under Part 11 of the Charities Act 2011 the CIO is not required to undertake an audit either under the Charities Act or by nature of its governing document, however an independent examination is required due to our gross income being more than £25,000 in the financial year, with which we have duly complied.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF EALING CROQUET CLUB FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

I report on the unaudited financial statements of the CIO for the year ending 31 December 2024 as set out on pages 9 to 14. 

## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER** 

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period and have chosen to complete an independent examination. 

Having satisfied myself that the CIO is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006, and 

- • to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS102)’ have not been met; or 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
