2. Structure, governance and management
Old Tyme Strength is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales. The trustees are responsible for the governance, strategic direction and financial oversight of the charity. Trustees are appointed in accordance with the charity's constitution, having regard to the skills and experience needed by the board. New trustees receive access to the governing document, current policies, financial information and Charity Commission guidance relevant to their duties.
The trustees review the charity's activities, finances and principal risks. Day-to-day decisions are taken within the authority delegated by the trustees and remain subject to trustee oversight.
3. Charitable objects
The charity's objects are to promote community participation in healthy recreation in Mansfield and the surrounding districts by providing facilities for powerlifting, para-powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting. Facilities include land, buildings, equipment, access to coaching and the organisation of sporting activities.
4. Objectives and activities during the period
During the period, the charity maintained access to a community strength-training facility in Mansfield. Participant contributions were used to support access to the premises, electricity and basic equipment or supplies required for charitable activity. The charity's work remained focused on enabling local people to participate in strength sport and healthy recreation.
The trustees had regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance when making decisions relevant to the charity's activities. Charges were kept at a modest level and were used to support the cost of providing the facility. Any private benefit arising from participation was incidental to achieving the charity's purposes.
5. Achievements and performance
-
The charity maintained a physical venue and equipment base for community strength training during a period of limited income.
-
Small participant contributions provided most of the charity's receipts and helped meet essential premises and utility costs.
-
A trustee contribution supported the charity when participant income was insufficient to meet a rent payment.
-
The charity ended the period with a positive bank balance of £207.43 and no loans, leases or other identified liabilities.
6. Financial review
Total receipts for the period were £1,153.36. This comprised £982.47 from charitable activities and £170.89 donated by a trustee toward premises costs. Total payments were £1,077.04, comprising £800.00 rent, £247.78 electricity and £29.26 equipment and supplies. The resulting cash surplus was £76.32. Cash funds increased from £131.11 at the start of the period to £207.43 at the end of the period.
All funds recorded in these accounts were unrestricted. No restricted or endowment funds were identified in the records used to prepare the accounts.

7. Reserves policy and financial sustainability
At the end of the period the charity held unrestricted cash reserves of £207.43. No formal reserves target had been established during the period. The trustees recognise that this level is low relative to essential premises and utility costs. The charity therefore remains exposed to interruptions in participant income and may require further donations or trustee support. The trustees' priority is to improve recurring income, control essential costs and build a more resilient unrestricted reserve.
8. Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal financial risk is insufficient unrestricted income to meet premises and utility costs. Operational risks include safe use of the facility and equipment, safeguarding, and compliance with legal and regulatory duties. The trustees manage these risks through financial monitoring, proportionate operating procedures, trustee oversight and review of the charity's policies and responsibilities.
9. Plans for the following period
-
Maintain the community training facility and continue activity within the charity's objects.
-
Increase sustainable participant, donation and grant income without creating unaffordable access barriers.
-
Build unrestricted reserves against essential operating costs.
-
Strengthen transaction records, budgeting and trustee reporting so future accounts can be prepared promptly and consistently.
10. Trustee benefits, expenses and related-party transactions
No trustee remuneration, trustee expense payments or other trustee benefits were identified in the bank records used to prepare these accounts. Christopher Roberts contributed £170.89 toward rent during the period. The amount was treated as an unrestricted donation and was not repayable by the charity.
11. Trustees responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records sufficient to show the charity's transactions and financial position, preparing annual accounts and a trustees annual report, safeguarding the charity's assets, taking reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities, and ensuring that the charity's resources are applied only in furtherance of its charitable objects.

3. Non-monetary assets
The charity held gym and strength-training equipment for use in its charitable activities. No valuation has been included because a reliable current valuation was not available and a valuation is not required for a meaningful description of these assets under the receipts and payments basis.
4. Trustee transactions
Christopher Roberts contributed £170.89 toward rent. The contribution was treated as an unrestricted donation and no amount was due back to the trustee at the reporting date. No trustee remuneration or trustee expense payments were identified in the bank records used to prepare the accounts.
5. Guarantees and secured debts
At 1 April 2025 the charity had no outstanding guarantee liabilities and no debts secured by an express charge over any of its assets.
6. External scrutiny
