TADCASTER COMMUNITY SPORTS TRUST
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
(a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
(b) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
(c) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
(d) state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
(e) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

TADCASTER COMMUNITY SPORTS TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE PERIOD 6TH APRIL 2021 TO 30TH APRIL 2022
The trustees present their annual report and the financial statements of the charity for the period 6th April 2021 to 30th April 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's accounting policies and the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and 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).
1. Structure, Governance and Management
Governing document
The Charity was formed as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 16th March 2020 and is governed by its Charitable Incorporated Constitution (“the Constitution”) which was signed by the Trustees on 9th July 2020.
Organisation
The affairs of the Charity are managed by the Trustees, who are ultimately responsible for ensuring the Charity objective is fulfilled, meet by collective agreement periodically throughout each calendar year, but on no less than four occasions. The Trustees, wherever possible, delegate the day-to-day operation of its affairs to a management team. Outside the day-to-day business of the Charity, a Trustee is appointed to oversee and manage any specialist projects that utilise their key skills and experience.
Appointment of Trustees
As set out within the Constitution, the members or the Trustees may at any time decide to appoint a new charity trustee (through nomination, application or invitation) either to replace a retiring trustee or an additional appointment. Wherever possible, the Trustees will consider the specialist skills and/or experience that such additional trustees may bring to the Charity and seek to maintain a level of at least five trustees without exceeding the maximum permissible number of twelve.

FOR THE PERIOD 6TH APRIL 2021 TO 30TH APRIL 2022
Trustee Induction and Training
Newly appointed trustees will receive a full briefing covering the history, management structure, financial position, benefits provided by the Charity along with the future aims and ambitions. In addition, copies of the following documentation will also be provided:
-
The Constitution and any amendments which may have been agreed;
-
The latest Trustees Annual Report and Financial Accounts and
-
The Charity Commission Guidance “CC3a-The Essential Trustee: An Introduction”
Risk Management
The Trustees take a low-risk approach to investing the Charity’s funds. The Trustees consider that in such volatile economic times, investing in short term products which may provide both income and capital growth is inappropriate. Accordingly, at the current time all funds are held in Barclays bank current and savings accounts.
In considering the annual budget and the Charity operation as a whole, the Trustees examine the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, especially the income streams which are influenced significantly by financial capability of its members and the general public – changing social behaviours being witnessed across all hospitality sectors is seen as being a potential future problem. A similar approach is applied to utility costs which form a significant element of annual expenditure.
The Trustees are provided with regular reports on the financial and operational performance of the Charity and these reports are fully considered as part of the decision-making process.
Health and safety inspections of the facilities are performed regularly by a volunteer who is a qualified Health and Safety Officer, with detailed risk assessments produced as may be required by individual functions, events etc.
Maintaining individual buildings remains a key requirement of the Charity in order to ensure both compliance with health and safety requirements and provide facilities suitable for community socialising and sporting recreation.

FOR THE PERIOD 6TH APRIL 2021 TO 30TH APRIL 2022
2. Objectives and Activities
The Charity’s objectives and aims as set out in the Constitution are:
“To promote community participation in healthy recreation and the advancement of amateur sport for the benefit of the inhabitants of Tadcaster and the surrounding area through the provision of playing surfaces and facilities for the playing of amateur sport and community recreation for the benefit of the local community with the object of improving physical and mental wellbeing”.
Ensuring the Charity’s work delivers its aims and objectives
The Trustees review the aims and objectives on an annual basis and seek to ensure the Charity continues to remain focussed on its core values and main purpose. All the activities are reviewed regularly and the success each one of them makes towards the aims and objectives is fully considered.
How our activities deliver public benefit
The Trustees refer to the guidance contained within the Charity Commissions general guidance on public benefit when reviewing its aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
Our main activities and who we provide services to are described below. All of our charitable activities focus on operating and maintaining the Charity and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for both the residents and visitors to the local community of Tadcaster.
Volunteers
The extent and scope of our service is heavily dependent on the support and commitment from a number of volunteers. The Trustees wish to acknowledge all those people who offer, without question or hesitation, their spare time to perform defined roles, assume a host of responsibilities and regularly undertake unforeseen tasks and actions. The Trustees extend thanks to all of you.

FOR THE PERIOD 6TH APRIL 2021 TO 30TH APRIL 2022
3. Achievements and Performance
How the Charity objective and aims were delivered for public benefit during 2021/22 Following a government announcement, the Facility was closed on the 19th March 2020. Thereafter a combination of social distancing measures and further lockdown periods resulted in normal service only being resumed in April 2021. Although income streams were adversely impacted throughout this time the Charity sought to mitigate costs wherever possible, was extremely grateful to receive local government grants and able to benefit from the government job retention scheme.
During the Covid related period and despite the significant income stream reductions, the Trustees made a conscious decision to continue with upkeep of the grounds at Queens Gardens, failure to do so would have resulted in major deterioration of the standards which had, in accordance with the Charity objectives, been achieved over a number of years. It was also decided to undertake minor improvements and refurbishment of the community social facilities during this period.
Project Ignite
Over the course of the last five years detailed engagement had taken place with a number of key stakeholders including Selby District Council, North Yorkshire Sport and various national governing bodies for sport with regards to the creation of a Sports and Leisure Park (Project Ignite) on land immediately adjoining to the south of the existing Queens Gardens facility.
The scheme which proposed delivery of various sport and leisure pitches/facilities, with site management performed by Tadcaster Community Swimming Pool Trust, was widely supported by the key stakeholders and during the summer of 2021 the Charity received grants from Selby District Council totalling £192,000 which would enable project progression through its detailed design and planning phases.
Having finalised the site masterplan, compiled a comprehensive business plan along with public consultation materials, the Charity was informed by the landowner during January 2022 that the area would no longer be made available for the project. The land withdrawal was devasting news particularly as the long-term viability of the existing facilities was predicated upon project delivery.
Discussions continue with all parties in the hope that the landowner’s current position may be reversed and the whole community can benefit from a facility designed with the key objective of improving physical and mental wellbeing.

TADCASTER COMMUNITY SPORTS TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD 6TH APRIL 2021 TO 30TH APRIL 2022
Manor Field Refurbishment
The Charity in conjunction with Tadcaster Junior Football Club submitted a funding application to the Football Foundation for refurbishment of security fencing, kitchen and other sundry improvement works at the Manor Field site in Tadcaster which is held on a longterm lease by the Charity with Selby District Council.
The grant application was approved during December 2021 and provided 75% funding of the estimated overall cost of £32,000. The Charity undertook to pay the 25% cost balance. Works commenced during April 2022 and are planned to be completed during November 2022.
Completion of the scheme will significantly enhance the facilities used by a number of local groups.
Sports Club Affiliations and Community Groups
Through the Covid pandemic, the Charity maintained its close relationships with the various affiliated sports clubs and partner groups. However, following the re-opening of the facilities post-Covid, it was pleasing to report an extension of such relationships through introduction of the following groups:
-
Tadcaster Cycling Club became affiliated with the Charity and as well as all cyclists becoming members the club uses the Queens Gardens site as its “home”
-
A “Motherfit” group was established and operates from the Queens Gardens site
-
Junior football camps were held at the Manor Field site
-
Local school parent teacher meetings are now held at the Queens Gardens site, with the local ladies forum utilising the community social facilities.
In accordance with objectives to improve community health and well-being, the Charity continue to seek increased utilisation of the facilities by other local groups and organisations.
Community Events
The Charity facilities continue to be an extremely important venue from a community perspective and without which there would be no suitable venue for, amongst other things, birthdays and life celebrations.
In conjunction with the affiliated Tadcaster Magnets Cricket Club, the three day “Tadfest” was once again held post-Covid and resulted in vital funds being generated both for the Charity and cricket club.

FOR THE PERIOD 6TH APRIL 2021 TO 30TH APRIL 2022
4. Financial Review
The Charity has experienced another challenging period during 2021/22 as income streams did not fully recover due to the Covid outbreak. The Charity received government support grants, utilised the job retention scheme and wherever possible sought to mitigate its expenditure.
During the period 2021/22, the Charity had total incoming resources of £47,862 and the deficit for the year was £31,993.
5. Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the Charity, at a level to provide sufficient funds for necessary working capital and in particular to cover payments towards new projects recommended for support by the Trustees.
Plans for 2022/23
The Trustees key priorities for 2022/23 are summarised as follows:
-
Produce and implement a Five-Year Plan which amongst other things will include: o Planned preventative maintenance requirements and
-
Capital expenditure required for the existing Queens Gardens Community Social Building which was constructed during the 1950’s
-
Completion of the refurbishment activities at the Manor Field site and increase utilisation of those facilities.
-
Working and liaising with affiliate organisations and community groups within local area with a view to increasing utilisation and income streams at the Queens Gardens site.
-
Consider appointment of additional Trustees who can further assist in delivering the Charity aims and objectives.
-
Minimize energy costs to minimise the Charity’s carbon footprint.

FOR THE PERIOD 6TH APRIL 2021 TO 30TH APRIL 2022
-
Pursue delivery of Project Ignite given the identified chronic local shortfalls in sports pitches, green space and recreational areas.
-
Maintaining a safe environment for those attending the Charity facilities
The work of the Charity remains highly respected locally and has been able to attract financial support from a variety of sources including affiliated sports organisations and national governing bodies which combined with ongoing support from the local community is envisaged will provide the necessary finances required to operate the facilities for the next twelve months.
