TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022

This report covers the period between January and December 2022 inclusive.

This was the first full year where the club has operated and managed the track and facilities at Berry Hill Park under a lease agreement with Mansfield District Council, and the second where it has functioned as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The trustees have met monthly under the stewardship of chair Pat Carlan to oversee the governance, finance and services to members of the club. The club is affiliated to England Athletics and operates within the NGB framework which includes affiliation to other athletic organisations, leagues and competition providers. A small core of volunteers continues to provide much of the commitment required to manage the facility and meet the day to day operations of the club and the site.

The club is able to offer 5 coached sessions each week to members. The facility is also open for casual use to the general public and athletes from other clubs where a training fee is applied.

Membership of the club has continued to incrementally rise and now stands at over 250. New members are being attracted of all ages and abilities. Several new members have transferred from other clubs while others have joined as 2nd claim which demonstrates a ‘pull factor’ now associated with the club. A second Welfare Officer has been recruited which has enabled the club to move towards full accreditation of England Athletics Club Standards. Three members gained coaching qualifications and one member a field judge licence. The club was sad to report the death of Life Member John Tomlinson who had been a member since the 1950’s.

Members were able to take part in athletic competitions every week of the year during 2022. The club competed in 4 track league competitions and 5 road and cross country leagues in addition to many championship and open competitions. Performances by members have continued to improve across all areas of the club both by teams and individuals with Mansfield teams and individual athletes performing well in national, regional and at a local level both in leagues and open competitions. Four members were selected to represent England in various competitions. A successful Presentation Evening was held in November which had an Olympian as a guest. The club and individual members were recognised in both the England Athletic (East Midlands) and Mansfield Armchair Club annual sport recognition awards; taking 4 award categories at each event.

External partners have continued to support the club during 2022.

The club has continued to invest substantially in facilities on the site. Conscious of the need to prepare for upgrade of track surface in 3/5 years the trustees have established a sinking fund which is to be contributed to each year. Additional new and refurbished equipment – hurdles, throwing implements etc has been sourced which has enabled a complete full set of training and competition equipment to now be on site. A portable PA system has also been purchased. Repairs and painting of the high jump and pole vault metal covers has been undertaken. A second-hand pole vault bed has been recycled from a club in Surry and plans are in place to have this operational early in the New Year. The wash-hand basins in the female changing rooms have been completed replaced with a new suit of basins. A 2nd storage container has also been procured. Measures have been taken to manage utility consumption more effectively. Volunteers have continued to clean and maintain the track and buildings throughout the year.

During 2022 the club hosted 10 cross country fixtures and 9 track competitions. This included the prestigious Midland X/C Championships and the National X/C Relays. Volunteers have continued to carry out the considerable workload involved in preparing the facility and clearing away following a home track or cross country fixture. An Open Day was held in August which allowed members of the public to have a go at taster events. The club also hosted a schools x/c fixture as a means of recruitment and showcasing the club.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation & Assessment of Going Concern

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes. 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP - FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Assessment of Going Concern

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Incoming Resources

Recognition of Incoming Resources

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:

▪ the charity becomes entitled to the resources;

▪ the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and

▪ the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability

Incoming Resources with Related Expenditure

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resource and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.

Grants and Donations

Grants and Donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants

This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services have been delivered.

Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Donated Services and Facilities

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

Volunteer Help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts.

Investment Income

This is included in the accounts when receivable.

Investment Gains and Losses

This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Expenditure and Liabilities

Liability Recognition

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Governance Costs

Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Grants with Performance Conditions

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Grants Payable without Performance Conditions

These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the charity.

Investments

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value.

Unrestricted funds

These funds can be used for the general objectives of the charity as set out in the trustees report. The movements of the unrestricted funds are given in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Restricted funds

These funds are where the donor has specified a purpose for the donation made. These restrictions often arise as a result of appeals for special offerings for specific purposes.

Designated funds

These funds are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for particular purposes or projects.

Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £50.00. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied are as follows:

General Equipment 10% - Straight Line Basis Athletic Equipment 10% - Straight Line Basis Furniture & Fittings 10% - Straight Line Basis IT Equipment 33% - Straight Line Basis

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022

12. STAFF COSTS AND NUMBERS

The CIO employed no members of staff during this or the previous financial period.

13. TRUSTEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTIES

No payments were made to trustees or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No material transaction took place between the organisation and a trustee or any person connected with them.

14. RISK ASSESSMENT

The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

15. RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the CIO's needs. This is based on the CIO's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the CIO will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

16. PUBLIC BENEFIT

The CIO acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the CIO has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the CIO should undertake.
