Structure, governance and management
The Aldingbourne Community Sports Centre is a registered charity number 1190106, and is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organization (CIO) registered with the Charities Commission on 25[th] June 2020. The constitution provides that the charity is managed by a Committee of Management (The Committee) which, when complete, consists of at least three elected members; there is no maximum number of charity trustees that may be appointed to the CIO. The constitution includes regulations regarding the appointment of members, co-opted members and filling of casual vacancies.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review risks to which the charity is exposed, and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
Objects and principal activities
The objects of the cio are to establish and run a recreation ground and community centre and to promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of the parish of aldingbourne ("area of benefit") without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, race or political, religious or other opinions the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants.
The charity aims to provide affordable facilities to the inhabitants of the area of benefit, including voluntary organisations and others serving the community for the purpose of recreation and other leisure time occupation.
In setting objectives and planning activities, the Committee has given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, and the charity has provided continued availability of the facilities for public benefit. The Committee undertakes projects and activities that are in line with the charity’s objectives and aims.
Activities and financial review

Trustees responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. The accounts have been prepared according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Constitution, 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 incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
Reserves policy
The trustees seek to retain sufficient general reserves that are deemed necessary to fund the on-going day-today operations of the charity. All monies received for designated or restricted purposes are shown in separate funds in the accounts.
This report was approved by the trustees on 17/07/2024 and signed on their behalf by:
