**Section B Structure, governance and management**
## **Description of the charity’s trusts**
Type of governing document
- (eg. trust deed, constitution) Constitution adopted 1[st] January 2021
How the charity is constituted
- (eg. trust, association, company) Charitable Incorporated Organisation
## Trustee selection methods
- (eg. appointed by, elected by) Elected at annual general meetings as set out in the constitution
## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)**
You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about:
- policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees;
- the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works;
- relationship with any related parties;
- trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.
The charity’s constitution (adopted in January 2021) provides the principle guidance as to how the charity is structured and operates.
The Trustees believe the major risks the charity face to be:
- Volunteers: the charity relies on the time, energy and expertise of volunteers and without this would not be able to operate – the Trustees look to ensure 1) a number of volunteers share responsibilities, 2) volunteers understand what is expected of them before they and 3) the contribution of each volunteer is appreciated.
- Safeguarding: given the charity works with a wide range of individuals, including young people and visually impaired, it takes safeguarding very seriously. Led by the charity’s safeguarding team, safeguarding is the cornerstone of everything we do at the club, ensuring all our volunteers and officers have up-to-date DBS checks and, where necessary, have completed the ECB Safeguarding Young Cricketers course and giving our young people a voice so that they feel valued, listened to and included in decisions that impact them.
- Financial control: the charity aims to maximise the use of electronic transfers to give visibility as to where funds are coming from / going to. The charity has a published financial control document which provides guidance including where cash is being handled.

Section D Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
## **2025 OBJECTIVES**
The club’s objective was to continue with the success on the field and with the ambition of promotions and consolidation for our third team in the I’Anson League. Off field would include trying to cement a permanent home for the club with facilities and opportunities for growth and investment.
## **ADULT TEAMS**
First team were crowned Champions of Division 4 and are promoted. The second team achieved promotion from Division 7, and our third team consolidated their position in Division 7 only conceding two games and we won our first ever Pope Cup game. Availability was difficult at times and lacked commitment using SPOND on a regular basis.
## **SUNDAY/ MIDWEEK TEAMS**
Availability for both of these was stronger last season. Phoenix played 9 games on Sunday including a CAN U CRICKET match. Midweek/Cup games played were 12 and the captains that supported this are recognised for its success
## **WOMENS TEAMS**
A year where we did not enter the I’Anson league but played 12 friendly game. Availability benefited from our girls team now playing women's cricket this year.
## **YOUTH TEAMS**
A successful year for our U9s playing 6 games. U11’s played 17 games and our U13’s struggled for numbers resulting in just 3 games played.
A number of players have been being selected by Hampshire to attend winter county training and this continues to build a positive profile of Youth cricket at Frimley Phoenix.
## **ALL STARS / DYNAMOS**
The club delivered a successful All Stars & Dynamos programme at Frimley Green Recreation Ground although we struggled with planning the event effectively in the new year. Summer Camp found attendance lower than last year.
## **Foodbank Appeal**
The club continues to support the local foodbank
## **Other recognition**
- 2025 I ‘Anson League Division 4 Champions
- 2025 I’Anson League Div 7 Promotion
- Charlotte Dunford – won Surrey Young Coach of the Year Award
- Sam Warren received the I ‘Anson League Division 4 batting award
- Sandeep Manhas received the I ‘Anson League Division 4 bowling award

## **Section E Financial review**
**Brief statement of the** Cash in the back as at 31/10/25 was £8,808 of which: **charity’s policy on reserves** • £1,000 is ring-fenced as Restricted Funds being the monies raised to support specific projects and activities • £7,808 is unrestricted funds – broadly similar to the previous year end Given the charity has minimal overheads the Trustees would aim to maintain a minimum reserve of £500-£1,000. The Trustees would also aim to maintain a further £500 to provide funding for its hardship policy should participants require its support. The main financial risk to the charity is a drop in membership / paying participants. A reduction would impact the charity’s ability to provide sporting opportunities to the extent it is currently able. **Details of any funds materially** No funds were in deficit at any point in the financial year. **in deficit**

screens to enhance the cricketing experience for participants.|
