Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Clubs charity objective is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation in particular by the provision of facilities for gymnastics.
The Club promotes this by providing opportunities for all its members and the wider community to enjoy the benefits in health, wellbeing and personal confidence that gymnastics has to offer, in a safe, friendly and fun environment.
The Club has been supported by a number of volunteers and without this contribution of their time and energy the Club would not have been able to achieve so much in the past year. The Club has 14 coaches in its employ. All the team undergo Disclosure and Barring Service checks prior to being involved in the Club. In addition to this they must attend Safeguarding and Child Protection courses. The Club also offers the coaches and staff to undergo First Aid training, Mental Health First Aid training, Fire Marshall training.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind that Charity Commissions guide on public benefit.
At the beginning of 2023 our membership take up was approximately 89%, by the end of the year we were sitting at 90%. A small improvement, which we are hoping to maintain into 2024. We have given 1-1 training for anyone who required this again and helped other Clubs from the area to achieve a goal of specific moves as we have equipment other Clubs do not own. We still work along side British Blind Sport and have registered as one of their 'Ability Partners' We have numerous gymnasts who have additional needs which cover a wide range from hearing difficulties to ADHD and autism.
The Club relies heavily on gymnasts rising through the ranks and becoming coaches which is fantastic for their self development as well as the Clubs development.
In 2023 the Display team from the Club represented Great Britain at the World Gymnaestrada in Amsterdam. The Club has run courses for British Gymnastics within our Club, which some of our coaches have attended.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Currently we have reserves at 31 December 2023 of £47,430, which are unrestricted funds and £1,000 restricted funds. The Club is continually upgrading the equipment and facility so this has an impact on reserves.
When we initially set up we purchased second hand equipment but have stated replacing those from the funds which have been available in the accounts, mainly for the safety of all our gymnasts.
Staffing costs were the highest expense of the year totalling over 55%.
Looking forward into 2024, we are looking to develop courses to run in the newly developed classroom. We are looking to expand the coaches knowledge by investing in CPD and coaching qualifications.
We are still in a strong position after a bad couple of years so would like to thank everyone for their continued support.
Reserves policy
The Clubs reserve policy is to look at having a surplus of monies to cover 6 months or running costs, which will also run along side a repairs and replacement budget and facilities upgrade. We are looking at ensuring funds are available for ongoing training surrounding CPD. With the shock of covid some of our planned surplus hasn't been achieved but we are still working on this. Our thoughts are that it will take approximately 5 years to recover totally from the pandemic as parents are still worried about local breakouts when they happen. The Club has taken out an insurance policy which will help us finance the Club if it was to close due to unforeseen circumstances.
The reserves which we would like to achieve is £74,000. We would like to say this could be achievable within 7 years, however as we are in the recovery following the pandemic period we extend this to a 10 year goal in 2022 and are on track for this. This is also flexible due to the amount of money which is required to replace equipment
We will of course look at reducing the time scale if the local economy picks up. Our current reserves sit at £47,430.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Sherburn Community Gymnastics Club Ltd. ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 your 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.

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts 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
-
the accounts 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)).
