The club came into some financial difficulties and Derbyshire County Council stepped in to take ownership and run as a community sports centre. In early 2024 Derbyshire County Council announced that they needed to cut costs significantly and therefore needed to shut the community centre down. A group, consisting mainly of local residents, set up to help save the centre - now incorporated as a CIO and undertaking a Community Asset Transfer. The community and the group first organised a variety of fundraising events including a crowdfunding page which raised in excess of £30,000 to put towards the costs of taking over the centre. Vision: To provide a sustainable community centre for the local area with an emphasis on providing sporting facilities to focus on improving physical and mental health, providing educational support primarily but not exclusive to health and nutrition, caring and improving the environment’. To achieve this, we aimed to: - a) Set up as a CIO and agree with DCC and HPBC to transfer the land and the building to the CIO as part of a Community Asset Transfer. - b) Get contracts in place for existing organisations and develop relationships with new ones. - c) Provide accessible and affordable sports facilities and programs for people of all ages and abilities. - d) Offer educational resources and workshops to promote healthy lifestyles, well-being and personal development. - e) Promote sustainable practices and environmental awareness within the community and beyond. - f) Foster partnerships and collaborations with local and international community groups and centres to maximise impact and reach. - g) Continuously innovate and adapt our services to meet the evolving needs of our community. 2 ## **Strategic Fit: Helping to Deliver Wider Partnership Agendas** - Sports England - aiming to transform lives and communities through sport and physical activity - Active Derbyshire - empowering people to be active in a way that works for them - Move More Glossop / High Peak- identifying and promoting opportunities for people to build movement into their everyday lives and making best use of the area’s unique communities, places and green spaces - Derbyshire County Council Public Health - making sure there are a range of services available to help people in Derbyshire to stay healthy - Glossop and District Volunteer Bureau - encouraging the local community to connect, have a focal point for volunteering opportunities and a setting for new groups to form - ● Football Association / Football Foundation - Gamesley Local Football Facility Plan wishes to provide a place for a growing club, including junior football teams to practice and play matches - Derbyshire Policy - the CIO is committed to working with the local Safer Neighbourhood Scheme to tackle anti-social behaviour by providing youth activities aimed at developing a positive community-based attitude among participants ## **Achievements** - We have set up a strong, diverse and highly skilled board of trustees who have worked hard to progress the Community Asset Transfer and, although this is not yet officially complete, we are very close to finalising the agreement(s) with High Peak Borough Council and Derbyshire County Council. - We have successfully raised enough funds to undertake both immediate works required to make the building safe and water-tight, as well as additional works to make the building of good quality, attractive and worthy of further investment. - We have engaged with many businesses, both local and national, who have been willing to either gift their time to support us with our renovations, or to gift much needed items for our building. - We have engaged with a wide range of statutory and voluntary agencies and currently provide a very diverse weekly offer of activities, including (but not limited to) Sexual Health services from Derbyshire Community Health, Smoking Cessation Services from Live Life Better Derbyshire, digital skills training from PCrefurb, money advice support from Christians Against Poverty, mental health groups from LET’S, walking groups from Move More Glossop, youth groups from The Bureau, adult education courses. - We have collaborated with several different businesses offering various activities for both adults and young people to include group sports sessions, seated exercise sessions, fitness sessions, toddler football groups and gaming sessions. - We continue to work hard at maintaining existing strong relationships and also building new ones to ensure we get the best offer for the people of Gamesley, filling our building with engaging and supportive opportunities that people want to join in with! - We have established ourselves as a partner of choice among businesses, VCSE and statutory organisations within a very short space of time due to our commitment to community and our hard-working board of trustees. - We have developed a strong business model and are now working on funding plans and income generation opportunities to enhance and develop our offer. - Most importantly we have many local people coming through our front doors to engage in activities that were either at risk due to the closure of the centre, or didn’t 3 exist on the estate at all. This has further proven the need for Gamesley Community Centre and cements our desire to do more. ## **Financial Review** During the financial period ended 31st March 2025, the charity’s income totalled £152,255. with expenditure amounting to £17,405. This resulted in a net surplus of £134,850 leaving total funds £134,850 at the period end. The charity’s income was derived from grants, donations and fundraising. The main areas of expenditure were establishment and administration costs. The trustees are satisfied that the charity remains in a stable financial position and continues to manage its resources prudently. At the end of the year, the charity held unrestricted funds of £30,610 and restricted funds of £103,439. The trustees have reviewed the reserves policy during the year and consider that a reserve of £25,000 to cover core costs is appropriate to ensure the ongoing operation of the charity and to respond to unforseen challenges. At year end, reserves stood at £30,610 which is above this target. The charity continues to seek diverse and sustainable income streams to support its objectives, and the trustees remain vigilant in managing costs and maximising impact. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** ## **Governing Document** Gamesley Community Group is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by a constitution and governing document, adopted on 25th June 2024 and registered with the Charity Commission.

Having considered future planned activities and the reserves available to the charity, the trustees are satisfied that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts. ## **b Incoming resources** Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. ## **c Donated services and facilities** Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity. ## **e Accounting for Capital Grants and Fixed Asset Funds** Whether acquired with unrestricted or restricted funds, the asset acquired is initially shown in the balance sheet at the full cost of acquisition or subsequent revaluation. As the related assets are depreciated, in accordance with the depreciation policy, in order to reflect the dimunition in the asset, a transfer is made from the relevant fixed asset funds to either unrestricted or restricted revenue funds, as appropriate to the terms of the original grant, if any The effect of this policy is that the aggregate of all such fixed asset funds shall be reduced at the same rate as the net book value of fixed assets. In the first year that this policy was adopted, a transfer to fixed asset funds was made equivalent to the value of assets so acquired.. ## **f Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. - Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 9 Gamesley Community Group ## Notes to the accounts for the period ended 31 March 2025 (continued) ## **g Tangible fixed assets** Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows: Property improvements 10 years Plant & equipment 5 years Fixtures & fittings 5 years ## **h Debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. ## **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 obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. ## **k Taxation** As a registered charity, the activities are exempt from United Kingdom Income and Corporation taxation, ## **2 Income from donations and legacies** ## **Current reporting period** |Donations
