Governance, Structure and Management
Bucks Cricket is governed by its constitution as a charitable incorporated
organisation registered with the Charity Commission. It was initially registered
as an association model charitable incorporated organisation on 2 February
2023. However, the original intention was that it be a foundation model
charitable incorporated organisation (i.e. one whose only voting members are
its charity trustees). Accordingly. all the members of Bucks Cricket CIO
resolved by wntten resolution on 22 February 2024 to change the constitution
to reflect this. Registration by the Charity Commission of the new constitution
is still awaited.
Under the new constitution, new Trustees will be appointed by a resolution of
Trustees passed at a special meeting and will be inducted by fellow Trustees.
In selecting future Trustees, account will be taken of the potential benefit of
their personal or professional experience to make a contribution to the pursuit
of the objects and the management of Bucks Cricket.
The Trustees are satisfied that policies are in place or have been developed
to control any identified risks of significance to Bucks Cricket.
Accounts
Bucks Cricket has been established principally to assume responsibility for
the promotion and development of cricket throughout Buckinghamshire. To

this end, work has been done to allow the transfer to Bucks Cricket of all the
assets of Bucks Cricket Board Limited and Bucks County Cricket Club. These
transfers took place respectively on 1 October 2023 and 1 November 2023
(i.e. after the period to which this Report relates}. Until these transfers were
completed, Bucks Cricket had no income or expenses nor any other assets or
