Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2025
The trustees present their report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with 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.
Objectives and Activities
The objects of the CIO are the advancement of amateur sport by promoting the community participation in healthy recreation, for the benefit of the residents of Churchill, Somerset and the surrounding area, by (A) the provision of facilities for playing cricket;(B) encouraging and developing where possible the cricketing skills and knowledge of senior and junior members.
Achievements and Performance
All the charity's trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit when exercising their powers and duties.
This season the club continued to expand the junior and womem's sections. Junior cricket coaching sessions were held during the winter months in indoor nets and outdoor coaching and matches were held from April until the end of the school term in July. Both boys and girls took an active part in training and matches. The training was run by qualified coaches and the club paid for training courses for new coaches so that we now have 5 fully qualified instructors.
Over 90 juniors took part in the training sessions at under 7,9,11 and 13 age groups and the under 11 and 13 teams played competitive cricket in the North Somerset Youth Cricket League. The trustees expect that these groups will continue to play in the 2026 season as the juniors showed great enthusiasm for the game and were supported by many parents and volunteers. The trustees are grateful to all those who helped in organising the matches and taking the juniors to away games, which gave them the opportunity to play at new grounds.
At the end of the season there was an awards cricket festival for the under 7s and under 9s teams at which every child who had participated received a medal and top performers received an additional award. It was a great day for everyone who participated and the juniors thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Another success of the season was the womens team which played league matches in the Somerset Women's and Girls' competition. The team competed in the Somerset Pairs Softball Filer League competition and were runners up in the Somerset Women's Softball KO Cup Final. This was a great achievement for a team which was only formed 3 years ago.
The club has fully implemented the ECB Safe Hands and ECB Anti-discrimination policies and the trustees thank those volunteers who helped with this.
Club membership continued to grow with over 55 senior members and 90 junior members together with parents and volunteers. The trustees are very grateful to all those who volunteered their assistance throughout the season.
During 2025 the club completed a full refurbishment of the pavilion and changing rooms and the trustees are grateful to the England and Wales Cricket Board ( ECB) County Grants scheme for providing a £10,000 grant towards the cost of the pavilion upgrade.

Funds Structure
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with the specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. Unrestricted funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in the furtherance of charitable objectives.
Recognition of income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, if it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be reliably measured.
Donations and grants are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation or grant is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Recognition of expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.
Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are capitalised at cost and are depreciated using the straight line basis at the following rate:
Pavilion improvements - 10% Machinery and equipment - 20%
Creditors
Liabilities and provisions are recognised as a result of an obligation to transfer economic benefits to a third party.Both are recognised once there is a present obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit in the form of cash will be required in settlement and the amount of settlement can be estimated reliably.
