Report of the Trustees
For the year ended 31 December 2024
Achievement and performance continued
The Trust continued to provide and support the Fry Pensioners, Somerdale Shed and Fry Bowls, Tennis, and netball sections. The table above highlights the full extent of the physical and social activities the Trust provided and supported.
The Trust continues to manage and operate the gyms and spa at Somerdale Pavilion and the Chocolate Quarter, supporting around 881 members. This includes supporting residents and at times just being there for a chat and some company.
The restaurant has been a very successful addition to the Pavilion and has become the central hub for families and friends to dine in a relaxed environment with an inclusive menu which caters for all allergens and food intolerances. We now cater for conferences and meetings which makes us an allinclusive venue for local businesses.
There were many successful social events held throughout the year from Tribute nights to football competitions. We are now the preferred venue for softball tournaments and the Harley Davidson Rally. Our Park Run course (the curly wurly) remains as popular as ever. The park run course also doubles up as a cycle cross arena which has hosted many prestigious events and competitions.
The Trust in common with much of the Leisure sector has experienced a challenging year with higherthan-average energy prices and the cost-of-living crisis, however, Somerdale Pavilion Trust achieved a positive financial result. We experienced some of the worst flooding in 10 years which resulted in sporting cancellations. Through hard work and dedication, we are very fortunate that our members choose us over competing venues.
Financial review
The performance of the Trust to 31 December 2024 was favorable to the expectations and plans of the Trustees that were developed. The financial surplus for the period to 31 December 2024 was £150k which was generated from total income of £1,294k and charitable expenditure of £1,143k.
Future plans
St Monica Trust’s D Block development is due to be fully constructed by September 2025 and we are looking forward to the improvements this will make to visual approach to the front of the Pavilion. It is envisaged that new landscaped garden areas with new seating will encourage additional revenue.
Weather permitting the new roof membrane and air handling unit lagging will be completed by July
which will ensure the building is once again watertight.
It has been a challenging start to 2025 due to the continuing cost of living crisis; People are clearly trying to cut back on expenses. In addition to this the weather has been difficult, with the worst floods we have ever seen, but we are hoping with continued marketing campaigns that there will be a recovery by mid-year.
All of the Trust’s sport clubs including, baseball, bowls, cricket, football, netball and tennis have expressed their commitment to the Pavilion and wish to continue to support us.
The Trust is looking into the possibility of relocating the tennis and netball courts. The original courts have deteriorated quite considerably and although a recent investment to improve the surface has helped it is accepted that a suitable long term suitable solution is required.

Report of the Trustees
For the year ended 31 December 2024
Future plans continued
The Trust is looking into the possibility of multi sports court thus being able to cater for more members and a more varied sporting discipline.
In the long term, the Trust remains committed to working with new and existing groups and individuals of all ages to encourage increased use of the club and the facilities it has to offer.
Reserves policy
The Trusts’ policy is to maintain unrestricted reserves equivalent to three month’s operating expenditure, which at this stage of the SPT’s operation would be £284K. As at 31 December 2024 the value of unrestricted reserves was £637k.

Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of Somerdale Pavilion Trust
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of Somerdale Pavilion Trust (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
OTHER INFORMATION
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
7
Independent auditors’ report to the Trustees of Somerdale Pavilion Trust
If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
OPINION ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
-
the Trustees’ Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
• the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing a Strategic Report.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent auditors’ report to the Trustees of Somerdale Pavilion Trust
AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
We have considered the nature of the sector, control environment and financial performance of the entity;
-
We have considered the results of enquiries with management and Trustees in relation to their own identification and assessment of the risk of irregularities within the entity; and
-
We have reviewed the documentation of key processes and controls and performed walkthroughs of transactions to confirm that the systems are operating in line with documentation.
As a result of these procedures, we have considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the highest area of risk to be in relation to revenue recognition, with a particular risk in relation to year-end cut off. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK) we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We have also obtained understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and FRS 102 and UK tax legislation.
In addition, we considered the provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Charity’s ability to operate or avoid a material penalty.
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
-
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
Performing analytical procedures to identify unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
Reviewing board meeting minutes;
-
Enquiring of management in relation to actual and potential claims or litigations;
-
Performing detailed transactional testing in relation to the recognition of revenue with a particular focus around year-end cut off; and
9
Independent auditors’ report to the Trustees of Somerdale Pavilion Trust
- In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgments made in accounting estimates are indicative of potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
We also communicated identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all members of the engagement team and remained alert to possible indicators of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.
USE OF OUR REPORT
This report is made solely to the Charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
1 Accounting policies
1.1 Company information
Somerdale Pavilion Trust is a private charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales, company number 11730938. The registered office is c/o St Monica Trust, Cote Lane, Bristol, BS9 3UN.
1.2 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined under FRS 102.
Under Section 7.1B of FRS 102, the company is exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement on the grounds of its size.
These financial statements have been prepared under the under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
The Trustees have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis which they consider is appropriate for the following reasons. The business model of the charity is such that its charitable activities are limited to those which it has sufficient funds to support from the excess of funding received over the costs of administering the charity. The charity therefore has no specific commitments and no committed costs beyond its fixed costs of operation which are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities and notes 2 to 4.
The Trustees have reviewed cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that the charity will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. As a result, the Trustees consider it appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.
There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Somerdale Pavilion Trust
Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
1.3 Incoming resources
Donations are credited on a receivable basis unless related to a specific period, in which case they are deferred until that period.
All other income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable the resources will be received and the monetary value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
1.4 Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, including irrecoverable VAT and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Governance costs include those incurred with constitutional and statutory requirements.
1.5 Stocks
Stocks consist of catering supplies and have been valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
1.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, bank overdrafts or other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
1.7 Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which includes debtors, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
14
Somerdale Pavilion Trust
Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as 'creditors: amounts falling due within one year' if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as 'creditors: amounts falling due after more than one year'. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.8 Funds structure
Unrestricted funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects.
Restricted funds comprise those funds which the donor has specifically restricted the purpose for which they can be used.
1.9 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.
Depreciation is provided on these assets at annual rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:
Office equipment 20% straight line per annum Freehold Land & Buildings 20% - 33.3% straight line per annum
