## **Objectives and activities** 

## **The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document.** 

Gowerton Cricket Club was established in 1880 and the Charity was established in 2020 for the benefit of promoting community participation in health recreation in Gowerton and its surrounding areas. 

The Charity was established to further: 

- Active participation in health recreational activities

## **The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the period.** 

Promotion of community participation in health recreation in Gowerton and its surrounding areas. Provision of facilities for playing cricket. 

## **The main activities undertaken during the period to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit.** 

The trustees believe that promoting community participation in health recreation in Gowerton and its surrounding areas by providing facilities for playing cricket is of benefit to the public as a whole. 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Gowerton Cricket Club continues to provide high-quality facilities for training and matches for our local community. During the 2025 season, the club saw an impressive level of activity, supporting: 

- Three senior teams 

- Two ladies' teams 

- Fourteen junior teams playing weekly 

Throughout the season, the club was proud to host a range of charity events and provide facilities for schools and other local teams to host their matches. 

## **Junior Section Growth** 

Our junior section continues to thrive with a growing membership across all ages and genders. We are incredibly proud that a large number of our junior cricketers were selected for representative and national teams, with several being invited to tour with Cricket Wales and the South Wales Cricket Association. 

## **Community Outreach** 

Thanks to grants from Swansea Council, the club was able to provide coaching and matches throughout the winter and school summer holidays. These programmes are vital in encouraging everyone in our community to get involved in the sport.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT  (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_ 

## **Pavilion Refurbishment** 

A primary focus of the 2025 season, extending into 2026, has been the refurbishment of our iconic pavilion. This building, which is over 100 years old, was in desperate need of attention. By the start of the 2026 season, it will have received significant investment and structural work. 

## **Key improvements include:** 

- A full internal renovation and remodeling. 

- Dedicated changing spaces for women and girls. 

- Refurbished showers and updated umpire facilities. 

## **Support & Fundraising** 

Our main income sources continue to be our fundraising events. We are deeply grateful to everyone who provides continued support, allowing us to maintain these facilities and foster the next generation of cricketers. 

## **Financial review** 

The Statement of Financial Activities is set out on page 6 of the financial statements.  Total income amounted to £71,230 (2024: £52,640) with total expenditure of £67,013 (2024: £62,145) and a loss on disposal of tangible assets of £179 (2024: £25,625). 

Overall this resulted in a net year end surplus of £4,038 (2024: deficit of £35,130).  Donations and legacies totalled £23,147 (2024: £18,955). 

At 30 September 2025 the net current assets shown on the Balance Sheet as set out on page 7 amounted to £61,285 (2024: £98,929). The free reserves of the charity totalled £42,247 (2024: £76,326). 

The trustees are satisfied that Gowerton Cricket Club has a sound financial base from which to continue to provide its services to the community. 

## **Policies on Reserves** 

The club maintains a few specific reserves for earmarked projects, primarily those funded from external grants which are awaiting commencement. 

The club holds reserves that are part of the charity's unrestricted funds that are freely available to spend on any of the charity's purpose.  It is Gowerton Cricket Club's policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (where possible), which equates to approximately six months costs, equivalent to £15,000 to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. 

The balance on the Masters Account is retained towards meeting the ongoing costs of renovating our Pavilion. 

The balance on the projects account is available for any projects as determined by the Trustees. 

It is our policy that all funds raised by the club are used to invest in and improve facilities and the cricket experience for our members. 

The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund. 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

## **GOWERTON CRICKET CLUB** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GOWERTON CRICKET CLUB** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Gowerton Cricket Club (the charity) for the year ended 30 September 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

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 that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011. 

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

- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **GOWERTON CRICKET CLUB** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Gowerton Cricket Club is a charitable incorporated organisation. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document,  the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Freehold land and buildings 10% Reducing Balance Plant and equipment 25% Reducing Balance Pavilion 10% Reducing Balance 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **1.9 Financial instruments** 

The charity 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 charity's balance sheet when the charity 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.

## **GOWERTON CRICKET CLUB** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans 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 payments 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 operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.10 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
