Bankers: Lloyds Banking Group Royal Parade Plymouth Independent Examiner: P A Nicholls MBE MAAT 5 Nursery Road Havant Hants PO9 3BG Activities and achievements: A full programme of rugby fixtures and social activities was provided throughout the season. Financial Review: The value of the fund had increased by £8.7K to £61.1K. This included property and stock worth £9.8K. The main reasons were: -

Bar profit of £19.4K.
Non-Trading income exceeded non-trading costs by £4.2K. Less

Sponsorship costs - £10.1K.

The bank and savings account holdings of £53.7K more than covered the £3.1K liabilities.

Investment Selection Policy. No investments are held.

Financial Reserves Policy:

The Trustee has considered the level of reserves required, appropriate to the charity’s needs. These are held in savings currently worth £50K. The Trustee aims to ensure that the charity will be able to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income and unexpected expenditure. The Trustee will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

Grant Policy: None are paid to individuals.

Risk Assessment: Public Benefit Statement:

The Trustee reviews the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to manage those risks and believes that by maintaining the free reserves stated it will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.

This fund provides public benefit by assisting Service personnel to more effectively perform their roles within the Armed Forces of the Crown. It does this by providing sporting facilities and social activities. This assistance enables Service personnel to face the challenges and danger associated with military service by developing and maintaining teamwork, spirit and attitude, and morale. As a result, the fund promotes the efficiency of the Armed Forces of the Crown by enhancing the Royal Navy’s and Royal Marines’ capability to undertake the roles demanded of it including the defence of the United Kingdom and its interests.

I confirm that I have paid due regard to the Charity Commission of England and Wales’s guidance on public benefit when deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Declaration:

I declare, in my capacity of Charity Trustee, that I have approved the above report.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustee of the Devonport Services Rugby Football Club. Charity Number 1203809

I report on the accounts of the Charity of the Devonport Services Rugby Football Club for the year ended 30 June 2025, which are set out in pages 1 to 6.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a licenced member of the Association of Accounting Technicians.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination; I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:

The accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
The accounts did not accord with the accounting records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
