## For the year ended 30 April 2025 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT** 

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2025. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, 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 (FRS102). 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## _**Governing document**_ 

Malling and Maidstone Netball League (MMNL) is a charitable incorporated organisation. The CIO was established using the associated model constitution on 23 November 2023 and gained charitable status on 9 February 2024. In the event of the Company being wound up each of the Members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. Its operational address is currently at Jack Willams Ground, Hall Road, Aylesford, Kent, ME20 7DS. 

For the purposes of these accounts the periods have been treated as a merger of the old unincorporated league with the newly incorporated charity as if they had always been part of the same reporting charity. See Note 12 for further disclosure. 

The charity is managed by its trustees who constitute the board and have been appointed in accordance with the charity’s Constitution.  The Trustees in office during the period ended 30 April 2025 were as follows: - 

Alison Appleby – Chair – appointed 23 November 2023 Kate Taylor – Treasurer - appointed 23 November 2023 Vicky Dadson - appointed 23 November 2023 Julia Stamp - appointed 23 November 2023 Karen Hicks - appointed 23 November 2023 Karen McCloy - appointed 23 November 2023 

The day-to-day management of the league is carried out by the league committee, of which all Trustees are members. 

The principal office is disclosed on the information page, page 3. 

## _**Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees**_ 

The Trustees of the MMNL are appointed in accordance with the provisions outlined in the Charity’s Constitution. Trustees may be nominated by existing Trustees or elected during the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Each appointment is based on an individual’s commitment to MMNL’s charitable objectives, relevant skills, and experience necessary to support its governance.

## For the year ended 30 April 2025 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT** 

New Trustees undergo an induction process to ensure they understand MMNL’s objective, vision and operational structure, as well as their legal obligations under charity law. This includes a review of the constitution document, policies, financial procedures, and governance principles. 

There must be a minimum of 3 Trustees and a maximum of 12 Trustees on the Board at any one time. One third of the Trustees each AGM shall retire and seek re-appointment if they so wish to do so. 

The Trustees bear collective and individual responsibility for ensuring the effective governance and operation of the League. Their key duties include: 

- **Strategic Oversight:** Setting the Charity’s strategic direction and monitoring progress toward its goals. 

- **Compliance:** Ensuring the League adheres to charity law, its governing document, and other relevant regulations. 

- **Financial Stewardship:** Overseeing the League’s finances and ensuring appropriate use of funds. 

- **Risk Management:** Identifying and mitigating risks to safeguard the League’s assets and reputation. 

- **Advocacy:** Promoting the League’s charitable objectives and engaging with stakeholders to further its mission. 

- **Decision-Making:** Making informed and timely decisions in the best interests of the League and its beneficiaries. 

The Trustees are committed to acting with integrity, accountability, and transparency to uphold the trust placed in them by members and the wider community. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## _**Objectives**_ 

The ultimate objective of the charity is to promote community participation in healthy recreation for the inhabitants of the Tonbridge, Malling and Maidstone areas by the provision of facilities for playing netball. 

We do this by: 

- Promoting interest and supporting people, participating in netball 

- Providing and improving recreational facilities, specifically for netball 

- Providing individuals with access to qualified coaches and equipment, to deliver netball, health and fitness sessions to all ages 

- Fundraising to support access to netball to ensure costs are kept to an affordable level

## For the year ended 30 April 2025 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT** 

## _**Activities undertaken during the year**_ 

## _**League**_ 

We have undertaken to provide and organise competitive competition by organising the following leagues: 

- Summer League Winter League 

- Saturday League 

## _**Adult netball**_ 

We organise opportunities for pay and play netball bootcamp throughout the interim periods between the competitive seasons. These sessions are available to anybody, member or non-member, just to turn up and participate, whilst under the supervision of qualified coaches. 

In May 2024 we organised a netball rally in which 23 teams participated in a fun competition at the weekend. The rally is available for any team enter and participate for the chance to win the Cup. 

Walking netball runs on a Wednesday evening and is a turn up and play session that runs throughout the winter and summer seasons. 

Our facilities are available to all members of the public to hire; members receive a £10 discounted rate. 

## _**Youth netball**_ 

Our Youth sessions run every Sunday morning for children aged between 8-16. These sessions are run on by qualified coaches. Again, these are just turn up and play sessions available to all abilities. 

We ran a summer netball camp in August 2024, available for mixed youths aged 8-18. This is 3 full days of netball coaching and skills. Across the 3 days this attracted around 50 - 60 young people each day. 

We allow a number of organisations to use netball facilities for no charge. This included: 

- Local junior school tournaments 

- Available to secondary schools for match use 

- County trials during June 2024 

- Regional U14 matches in September 2024 and January 2025 

- A couple of Charity fun day netball tournaments, including annual Kent Police Netball Tournament. 

## _**Umpiring**_ 

We assess and then mentor aspiring and experienced umpires to assist them in moving through the England Netball Officiating pathway. We have helped 9 umpires through the assessment pathway as follows: 

- 2 B award umpires 

- 5 C award umpires 2 IO award umpires 

6 




## For the year ended 30 April 2025 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT** 

We have taken an active approach in mentoring and training with all umpires to educate regarding the new rules introduced by England Netball in September 2024. We have run 2 rules forums for all umpires to attend. 

## _**Fundraising**_ 

In July 2024, we hosted our annual awards evening, to award teams who finished top and runners up of each respective division. We raised £3,530 from ticket sales and raffles ticket sales. 

We also sell a small number of apparel items for umpires and youth. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

During the Winter League for 2024-25 we had 83 teams enter, which at the start of the season equated to 733 registered players. 

The summer season, which is non-competitive, we had 78 teams enter but there were 1,236 players registered who at least played in 1 game. 

Bootcamp was very popular throughout August 2024, with an average of 70 attendees to each session. This is a little quieter in April 2024, mainly due to the weather, where attendees ranged from 40-50 for each session. 

## **Financial Review** 

MMNL achieved a stable financial performance during the reporting year. The total income for the year amounted to £88,219, primarily derived from membership fees, league entry fees, league game fees, league tournaments, and fundraising initiatives. This represents a 4% increase compared to the previous year. 

Expenditure for the year totalled £45,083, with funds allocated toward league activities, facilities maintenance and administrative costs. The League maintained a prudent approach to spending, ensuring that resources were directed toward fulfilling its charitable objectives. It should be noted that only half of the ABRFC Membership fees have been recognised during this period. The membership period runs from 1 November 2024 – 31 October 2025. The full membership cost was £35,691, compared to £34,424 last year. An increase of 2.3%. The amount paid per member is currently £48.69 

The Trustees have adopted a reserves policy to safeguard the MMNL’s long-term financial stability. As of the year-end, the League’s unrestricted reserves stood at £27,267, equating to around 6 months of operating costs. Restricted reserves dedicated to specific projects totalled £81. A transfer of £170,000 was placed in a designated reserve for future court refurbishment and upgrades. The total of this fund as at 30 April 2025 was £171,575. 

Investment activities were limited during this year, with funds placed in savings accounts to preserve capital while earning modest returns. No material uncertainties regarding the League's financial position have been identified.

## For the year ended 30 April 2025 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT** 

The Trustees remain committed to transparency and sound financial management practices. Financial controls and procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees reserves policy is to have 6 months running costs with general reserves, and the rest to designated reserves for court improvement works. 

## _**Statement of Trustees responsibilities**_ 

The Trustees, as set out on page 3 are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year.  Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed _, subject to any material_ departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue on that basis. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities SORP. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

## **Limited liability** 

Members of the charitable company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the company in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees as at 30 April 2025 was 84.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

**TO THE TRUSTEES OF MALLING AND MAIDSTONE NETBALL LEAGUE CIO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025** 

I report to the charity trustees of the company for the year ended 30 April 2025, which are set out on pages 11 to 19. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

## **Independent examiner’s report** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

(1)accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; 

(2)the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

(3)the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

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.

For the year ended 30 April 2025 


## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year. 

## **Charity information** 

Malling and Maidstone Netball League is Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. The registered office is Jack Willams Ground, Hall Road, Aylesford, Kent, ME20 7DS 

## (a) **Basis of accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS102)– (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The effects of events relating to the year ended 30 April 2025 which occurred before the date of approval of the financial statements by the Trustees has been included in the financial statements to the extent required to show a true and fair view of the state of affairs as at 30 April 2025 and the results for the year ended on that date. 

Malling and Maidstone Netball League meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## (b) **Going Concern** 

At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. 

## (c) **Fund accounting** 

- Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Unrestricted funds include donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose. 

- Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. Expenditure, which meets these criteria, is charged to the fund. 

## (d) **Income** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

13 




## For the year ended 30 April 2025 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

•  Donations and gifts and are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. 

•  Incoming resources from charitable activities are accounted for in relation to the period earned. Court hire and League entry income is deferred where it relates to services to be carried out in the future. 

## (e) **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates: 

•  Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

•  Other costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examination and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. 

•  All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on the basis of an estimate of the proportion of project size. 

## (f) **Fixed assets** 

Fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

It is the policy of the company to provide depreciation at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful economic life. The following rates of depreciation have been applied throughout the year. 

Computer equipment - 33.3% on cost Court equipment - 20% on cost Leasehold improvements - 50 years straight-line 

Assets with a cost of £250 or more are capitalized. 

## (g) **Debtors** 

Trade debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. 

## (i) **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## (j) **Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the 

14 




## For the year ended 30 April 2025 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## (j) **Financial instruments** 

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
