## Trustees’ annual report 

The Trustees present the annual report and the accompanying financial statements of Norfolk Cricket Foundation (NCF) for the year ended 30[th] September 2025. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommend Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland  (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019). Since the charity  qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

NCF is a charitable company which was incorporated on 10th February 2011 and was registered as a charity on 5[th] February 2025. The company changed its name on 28[th] January 2025, having previously operated as Norfolk Cricket Board Limited. The NCF operates under Articles of Association that were most recently amended on 14[th] January 2025. 

The full Objects are set out in the Articles but can be summarised as; 

- a. promotion, encouragement and development of recreational sport in Norfolk with a particular focus on recreational cricket by supporting the development and improvement of facilities, coaching, and access to the sport; 

- b. provision or assistance in the provision of recreational activities in the interests of social welfare by promoting healthy living, physical fitness, and community engagement through the sport of cricket; 

- c. advancement of education for the public benefit by providing opportunities for individuals of all ages to participate in and learn the skills associated with the game of cricket; and 

- d. promoting community participation in healthy recreation by facilitating access to cricket. 

The Foundation’s existing strategy ‘A Game for Everyone 2025-2028’ aspires to create a lasting, positive impact on the lives of individuals and communities in Norfolk through the power of cricket.

## Norfolk Cricket Foundation 

## **For the year ended 30[th] September 2025** 

The management of NCF is the responsibility of its Trustees who are appointed and co-opted under the terms of the Articles.  The Trustees meet four to five times each year and have delegated the operation of the company to its Cricket Development Director.  NCF has also appointed two Committees – the Norfolk Youth Committee and the Recreational Committee – each with a remit for their area of responsibility and comprising a membership drawn largely from outside of the Trustees. 

In addition, there are the Norfolk Officials Association together with less formal groups for grounds, coaches and women’s and girls’ cricket, all of which operate within its umbrella.  There is also a Remuneration Committee and Nominations Committee whose membership is drawn wholly from within the Trustees. 

Names of the Trustees serving since the start of this financial period, and who appointed them, are set out on the first page. 

The liability of each member is limited to a sum not exceeding £1, being the amount that each member undertakes to contribute to the assets of the charity in the event of it being wound up. Membership, and entitlement to it, is defined in the Articles and in this respect, there were 12 members as of 30[th] September 2025, comprising both organisations and individuals. 

The last 12 months has seen a huge amount of collaboration between the executives and nonexecutive Trustees of the Foundation.  This is something that we are all very proud of and it has strengthened our position as one team whilst enhancing our thinking and planning for the future. We continue to work in line with ECB governance requirements but most importantly because we feel as a Foundation a more diverse group of Trustees will support the growth of cricket in Norfolk. 

## **Existing Plans and Activities** 

In line with the new ECB’s Inspiring Generations strategy (2025-2028), the NCF produced and released its own strategy ‘A Game for Everyone 2025-2028’ in April 2025 ahead of the 2025 season. The ambitious strategy supports the ECB vision to become the most inclusive team sport across England and Wales and focuses on two key areas of development.

## Norfolk Cricket Foundation 

## **For the year ended 30[th] September 2025** 

- ∂ Grow, retain and enhance the core of the game 

- ∂ Making cricket accessible to new people & communities 

For the 2025-2026 financial year, the below priority areas continue to be of focus: 

- ∂ Sustainable and thriving community cricket clubs. 

- ∂ A clear player pathway for boys and girls in Norfolk Cricket. 

- ∂ Make cricket accessible by breaking down barriers. 

- ∂ Connect communities through cricket. 

These key priority areas are to be underpinned by Good Governance, Safeguarding, EDI, Places, People, Strong Finance/Fundraising, IT/Marketing/Communication and Sustainability. 

## **Achievements** 

We are particularly pleased to be able to report the following activity that took place during the 2024/2025 financial year (1[st] October 2024 to 30[th] September 2025). 

- ∂ A record-breaking year for recreational cricket in Norfolk with 3,245 matches played in 2025 (as recorded on the ECB Play-Cricket website) compared to 2,636 in 2024. 

- ∂ 2025 continued with a record number of junior teams playing cricket in Norfolk with 280 (up from 262 in 2024) teams playing a mixture of hardball and softball cricket. The 280 teams are made up from 56 clubs (52 clubs in 2024) running junior cricket which is an average of just over 5 teams per club. 

- ∂ Women & Girls cricket continued to grow in 2025 with the NCF overseeing all open age and youth cricket offerings. This includes the women’s hardball and softball leagues, along with the girls’ softball and hardball leagues. 

- ∂ Another strong year of delivery on the Chance to Shine Schools programmes. Delivery reached  2,000  hours  of  primary  school  engagement  and  over  180  hours  in  the  girl’s secondary schools programme. 

- ∂ Chance to Shine Street programmes were successfully delivered in Thetford, Norwich and King’s Lynn to young people who traditionally face barriers to getting active and may not be involved at cricket clubs. (A new centre is planned for Great Yarmouth starting in October 2025).

## Norfolk Cricket Foundation 

## **For the year ended 30[th] September 2025** 

- ∂ The ECB Girls Proof of Concept programme (a state school cricket initiative) was removed in 2024/25, but we were able to use some ECB EDI funding to plug this gap and help us deliver  a  further  200  hours  of  state  secondary  school  cricket  in  Norfolk  covering  20 schools. 

- ∂ Our National Programmes (All Stars/Dynamos) participants sign-ups plateaued for the first time since its launch in 2017. 2025 saw 1,186 children involved in All Stars and Dynamos Programmes with 28% of sign-ups being female. 

- ∂ The continuation of our Boys and Girls County Age-Group programme, Emerging Players Programme and Centre of Excellence Programme. This includes 6 Boys CAG Teams and 5 Girls teams that played over 120 fixtures. 172 players involved within the junior player pathway. 

- ∂ 2025 saw the continued growth of the Early Engagement Programme which covered Boys and  Girls  teams  at  Under  10  and  Under  11.  Over  100  players  were  involved  in  this programme. 

- ∂ Our Women’s team took part in the ECB Tier 3 Competition for the first time in 2025. With a squad of just over 20 players the team travelled to all corners of the country to play matches in the new ECB format. 

- ∂ Walking Cricket continues to thrive in Norfolk with the original Norwich hub now joined by hubs in King’s Lynn and Great Yarmouth. 

- ∂ An initiative which first started in 2023, saw cricket sessions and opportunities for students from Easton/City College continue. Support continued in 2025 and the college had success in National Colleges T20 tournament where they came third. 

- ∂ The success of the Over 40’s Leagues and U19 Club T20 continues with club participation remaining healthy across both offerings. Both competitions concluded with finals days at the end of the season at Hethersett & Tas Valley CC. 

- ∂ A healthy relationship continues with the open-age cricket leagues in Norfolk and 2025 continued to see positive trends which included more games played, few games conceded, and fewer games played with less than 22 players (helped by the good summer weather in 2025). 

- ∂ Helped to train over 120 new coaches through ECB Coaching Courses. 

- ∂ Across the ECB Coaching Courses and ECB Activator Training courses, we helped train 48 new female coaches which helps to diversify the coaching workforce across Norfolk. 

- ∂ Helped all 39 ECB Clubmark clubs in Norfolk maintain accreditation with full ECB Safe Hands Management System adoption and compliance. 

- ∂ We continued celebrate of Volunteers in Norfolk throughout the season with weekly recognition and other celebratory events including the end of season Grassroots awards. 

The Norfolk Cricket Foundation continue to have a positive relationship with the England and Wales Cricket Foundation and once again, in 2025, we have received some outstanding feedback for the high standards that we uphold as a Foundation.  This is testament to the hard work of the

Officers and Foundation Trustees where we are currently meeting all of the required minimum standards as set out within the ECB County Partnership Agreement ‘CPA’. 

We are grateful to the ongoing support of the Friends of Norfolk Youth and ECB who both provide bursary programmes for those in the greatest need of financial support on an annual basis within Norfolk as we strive to make cricket to most inclusive team sport.

The success of cricket in Norfolk extends far wider than the Foundation staff and Trustees and so we thank everyone involved including leagues, committees, clubs, coaches and volunteers. It is this collective workforce who make the huge difference. 

It is also pertinent to recognise the financial assistance the Foundation has received over the year in addition to its core ECB funding. In particular, Chance to Shine, the Lords Taverners, MCC Foundation, Shell UK and Mr Cricket Hockey. Also, the individual sponsors of our County Age Groups. 

We remain committed to maintaining positive relationships with the Norfolk County Cricket Club. Our Boys County Age Group Programme continues to produce players that represent the County Club, 2025 was no different with many of the Norfolk U18 Boys representing the Norfolk Lions and full Norfolk CCC team during the 2024 season. 

A  real  highlight  of  2025  saw  Norfolk  CCC  win  the  NCCA  T20  Competition  for  the  first  time (following their success in 2024 which saw them win the Knockout Trophy for the first time since 2009). Like 2024, it was again very pleasing to note that 11 players of the 12-person playing squad had come through the Norfolk Talent Pathway setup. 

2025 saw the fourth annual showcase fixture take place with Kent visiting Sprowston Cricket Club in front of a healthy crowd in early August. Norfolk CCC look forward to welcoming Kent back again in 2026. 

The Norfolk Cricket Foundation Women and Girls pathway remains closely linked to the London and East regional girl’s pathway programme. The pathway setup operates under the Essex Cricket programme, but we are delighted to have strong representation in this setup. For 2025/2026 we have 1 academy player, and 5 players involved in the emerging players’ programme. We’re also thrilled one of our county women’s players have been signed for Northants ahead of the 2026 season. 

On the Boys front, we have a formal partnership with Northants CCC, and we’re thrilled that we have 3 boys involved within their academy for the 2025/2026 programme following successful engagement in 2025.

## Norfolk Cricket Foundation 

## **For the year ended 30[th] September 2025** 

As a Foundation we are committed to continuing to explore the opportunities for collaborative working with other County Cricket Foundations in the London and East region along with other similar like for like counties across England and Wales. We want to continually learn from others and share the good practice that we have. 

## **Financial Position** 

The Foundation recognises that in the current economic climate that we need to collectively explore ways to ensure that individuals are not prohibited from choosing cricket because of their financial situation and that our staff are remunerated appropriately to prevent unnecessary staff changes. 

We are also mindful that businesses with whom we have previously engaged in sponsorship partnerships might not be in these financial times able to offer the same support and so we are committed to exploring different ways to gain funding for the game. 

The Foundation has a risk register in place which to helps to systematically identify, assess, track, and mitigate potential threats to the organisation. Funding is primarily sourced directly from ECB and its charitable partners (Chance to Shine, Lord’s Taverners and MCC Foundation). There is a high risk to the running of the Foundation if this funding was to be removed but we do have systems in place to mitigate this including a 4 year funding agreement from ECB (up until January 2029) and agree 2-year funding agreements with Chance to Shine and Lord’s Taverners which offers a certain amount of security. Regular meetings and KPIs are agreed with these partners with monitoring taking place quarterly throughout the year to ensure compliance is maintained against all standards. Staffing contracts are set out and agreed to work alongside these funding cycles. The Foundation are actively seeking ways to diversify income to become less reliant on ECB funding. 

We have strong and robust policies and procedures in place to ensure that the Foundation meet all the ECB County Partnership Agreement (CPA) requirements including those key areas of the business  which  could  cause  significant  reputational  risk  and  possible  loss  of  funding  if  not maintained. These areas include Safeguarding, EDI, Finance and Governance.

The 2024/25 end of year accounts show a final position of a £23,335 surplus for the operating year. This took the actual unrestricted reserves position for the Foundation to a figure of £220,393 which leaves the Foundation in a healthy position. The Foundation had originally budgeted for a deficit during the 2024/25 financial year but due to additional ECB funding and one full-time staff member leaving the origination mid-way through the year this saw a small surplus within the annual accounts. The vast majority of all restricted funding received by the Foundation is spent on day-to-day operational costs including staff and the delivery of recreational cricket in Norfolk. The 2024/25 saw the inclusion of some one-off costs as the organisation transferred legal status, name and branding from Norfolk Cricket Board Limited to Norfolk Cricket Foundation. 

For the 2024-25 financial year the Foundation’s reserves policy target was £75,000. This figure was set to cater for 3 months’ operational costs if funding stopped. Since the financial year end the Trustees have re-visited this amount and, based upon increasing costs and the operations growth, have agreed for the figure to increase to £100,000. 

The Trustees have also agreed to designate a further £100,000 towards further investment into recreational cricket in Norfolk in strategically important areas. 

Free reserves at the year-end (being unrestricted funds excluding designated funds) amounted to £120,393, which exceeds updated policy target by £20,393. The Trustees are content with this figure, especially given the ever-increasing inflation costs and the flat line ECB core funding that is set to remain at the same amount until 2029. 

## **Looking Forward** 

Following another outstanding year of delivery, it is time for the Norfolk Cricket Foundation to look forward and expand on this success. Having passed our first anniversary as a charity, if we are to deliver our ambitious strategy, we must challenge ourselves to take cricket to more people, in more communities and focus on the positive outcomes that the game can bring to so many in Norfolk. Whilst our core delivery and focus on the existing infrastructure will continue, it is now the right time for us to broaden our reach as we strive to create opportunities for people in Norfolk to have the opportunity to connect with cricket.

Norfolk’s priorities have already been laid out, and these will shape the focus of the Norfolk team. The Foundation will continue to support staff by offering their expertise, super strengths, leadership and constructive challenge. 

Jane wishes to personally thank everyone for their relentless commitment to making cricket a game for all in Norfolk over the time she has been the Chair. The Trustees want to place on record their thanks to Jane for her dedication to recreational cricket in Norfolk. 

The directors confirm that the company has prepared this report in accordance with the small companies exemption under the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Directors’ insurance** 

The company has made qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of its directors during the year. These provisions remain in force at the reporting date. 

## **Statement of responsibilities of the Trustees** 

The Trustees (who are also directors of Norfolk Cricket Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these 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 judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- ∂ State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

13 | P a g e 



## Norfolk Cricket Foundation 

## **For the year ended 30[th] September 2025** 

- ∂ Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the 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. 

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 30[th] September 2025 was £12. The Trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. 

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime. 

The Trustees' annual report has been approved by the Trustees on 26[th] June 2026 and signed on their behalf by

## Norfolk Cricket Foundation 

## **For the year ended 30[th] September 2025** 

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Norfolk Cricket Foundation (‘the Charity’) I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 September 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As  the  Trustees  of  the  Charity  (and  its  directors  for  the  purposes  of  company  law)  you  are  responsible  for  the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2008 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities. 

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. 

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

## **For the year ended 30[th] September 2025** 

## Notes to the financial statements 

- 1 Accounting policies 

   - a) Statutory information 

Norfolk Cricket Foundation is a charitable company limited by guarantee without share capital The charity is governed by its Articles of Association dated 10[th] February 2011, subsequently amended on 14[th] January  2025.  The  charity  was  registered  with  the Charity Commission on  5[th] February 2025 with the registered charity number 1212016 and the registered company number 0752982. The principal address and registered office of Norfolk Cricket Foundation is Horsford Cricket club, manor Park, Holt Road, Norwich, Norfolk, NR10 3AQ. 

- b) Basis of preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (Charities SORP 2019) and FRS 102. Applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. 

The company’s functional currency is Sterling (£). All values are rounded to the nearest £1. 

Norfolk Cricket Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognized at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

On  5[th] February  2025,  the  company  was  registered  as  a  charity  with  the  Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1212016). Prior to this date, the entity operated as a non-charitable company and prepared its financial statements in accordance with FRS 105. From the date of registration, the company has applied the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2019] in conjunction with FRS 102, as required for entities preparing “true and fair” accruals accounts in the UK charity sector. 

The financial statements for the year ended 30[th] September 2025 therefore reflect two phases of the entity’s activities within a single accounting period: 

- ∂ operations as a non-charitable company from 1[st] October 2024 to 4[th] February 2025; and 

21 | P a g e 



## Norfolk Cricket Foundation 

## **For the year ended 30[th] September 2025** 

- ∂ operations as a registered charity from 5[th] February 2025 to 30[th] September 2025. 

The Trustees consider that applying the Charities SORP for the full reporting period provides more relevant and reliable information to users and is consistent with the requirement that charities preparing accruals accounts follow the SORP. 

## c) Company Status 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The directors of the company are the Trustees named on page 3. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. 

## d) Previous accounting policies 

Up to the prior year, the entity prepared its financial statements in accordance with FRS 105 , under which: 

- ∂ income and expenditure were presented in a single profit and loss account; 

- ∂ funds were not analysed between restricted, unrestricted and designated funds; and 

- ∂ certain disclosures specific to charities (for example the Statement of Financial Activities format, detailed fund movements and certain governance disclosures) were not provided. 

New accounting policies on becoming a charity: 

From  5[th] February 2025, the entity’s accounting policies have been aligned with the Charities SORP and FRS 102. Key changes include: 

- ∂ presentation of all income and expenditure in a Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) analysing activity between unrestricted, restricted and, where relevant, endowment funds; 

- ∂ recognition and classification of funds according to the terms of donations, grants and other resource inflows; 

- ∂ revised presentation of the balance sheet and related notes to comply with the SORP; and 

22 | P a g e 



## Norfolk Cricket Foundation 

## **For the year ended 30[th] September 2025** 

- ∂ enhanced narrative disclosures in the Trustees’ report covering public benefit, reserves policy and key risks. 

The Trustees have applied the new charity accounting policies to the entire reporting period on a consistent basis, with necessary reclassifications and adjustments to comparative figures where required to achieve comparability. Where practicable, prioryear comparatives and opening balances have been restated to reflect the new policies ( for example, the identification and separate presentation of restricted funds). Where full restatement has not been practicable, this fact has been disclosed, together with an explanation of the nature of the differences and their estimated effect. 

Any material adjustment arising on transition have been recognised in funds at the start of the comparative period and are disclosed in note 21 to charity funds under the new policies. 

## e) Going Concern 

The Trustees have assessed the charity’s financial position and its plans for the foreseeable future, which is a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. This review has considered the charity’s reserves position, cash flow forecasts, expected income streams, in particular from ECB, and the potential impact of any known or anticipated risks. 

Based on this assessment, the Trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis. 

- f) Fund accounting 

All donations are deemed to be unrestricted, unless specified by the donor. Unrestricted funds comprise the accumulated surplus of the charity, as noted in the statement of financial Activities. These funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees of Norfolk Cricket Foundation. 

Restricted funds are specifically assigned by the donor to support a particular project. Income from restricted donations will only be spent on the specified causes.

## **For the year ended 30[th] September 2025**

- ∂ Donations and legacies: this relates to all income from regular donors. Donations from individuals and corporations are recognized on receipt, where there are no performance-related conditions which must be met.

- ∂ Trading income: this relates to the income arising from coaching, match fees, tours and event income. 

- ∂ Other income: relates to one off income arising during the year not related to any of the other income streams. 

## h) Expenditure

- ∂ Raising Funds: this relates to the costs incurred in attracting voluntary income such as running fundraising events and tours. 

- ∂ Charitable activities: this relates to costs associated with the provision of services and facilities in accordance with our charitable aims. 

- ∂ Other expenditure: comprises other costs including legal expenses. 

- ∂ Support cost: these relate to the cost of providing support to Norfolk Cricket Foundation strategy by staff, as well as carried costs such as finance, IT, HR and governance.

## 17 Deferred Income 

Deferred income relates to amounts received in advance for which the charity is not yet entitled to recognise income at the year end. The movement on deferred income during the year was as follows: 

|As at 1st October<br>Resources deferred during the year<br>Amounts released from previous periods<br>At 30th September|**2025**<br>**2024**<br>325<br>4,512<br>5,992<br>325<br>(325)<br>(4,512)|
|---|---|
||5,992<br>325|



## 18 Pension Commitments 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for eligible employees. Contributions payable to the scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. At the balance sheet date, contributions amounting to £nil (2024 £nil) were outstanding and are included within creditors. During the year the charity made payments totaling £8,906 (2024 £7,512). 

The charity has no further obligations beyond payment of the agreed contributions. Accordingly, there are no material pension liabilities other than any unpaid contributions outstanding at the reporting date.

|perating leases as follows:|||
|---|---|---|
||**2025**|**2024**|
|Due within one year|1,500|1,500|
|Due in more than one year|250|1,750|



- 20 Changes in Net Debt 

Net debt comprises cash and cash equivalents, bank overdrafts, borrowings and lease liabilities. The charity had no borrowings, overdrafts or lease liabilities during the year. Accordingly, net debt consists solely of the balance on the current bank account. 

|Cash and cash equivalents at 1stOctober<br>Cash Movement in year<br>Cash and cash equivalents at 30th<br>September|**2025**<br>**2024**<br>318,371<br>301,312<br>32,444<br>17,059|
|---|---|
||350,815<br>318,371|



- 21 Material adjustments arising on transition 

## **Reason for the restatement** 

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees have reviewed the charity’s income recognition policies to ensure full compliance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) (second edition – October 2019), in particular the requirements of Module 5 “Recognition of income” and the criteria of entitlement, probability and measurement. 

Historically, certain income amounts (principally grants/donations) were recognised as deferred income and carried forward in the balance sheet until the related expenditure was incurred, even where the charity had unconditional entitlement to the income at the reporting date. This treatment is not consistent with the SORP, which requires income to be recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is entitled to the income, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably, and only to defer income when there are specific performance-related conditions or other reasons why entitlement has not yet been achieved.

The Trustees have therefore changed the charity’s accounting policy so that income is only deferred where the SORP criteria for deferral are met. As a result, certain balances previously reported as deferred income have been reclassified and recognised as income in earlier reporting periods. 

## **Basis of restatement and impact** 

In accordance with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP, this change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively and the opening balance sheet as 1[st] October 2023 has been restated. The effect has been to reduce deferred income and increase restricted funds (or other relevant fund categories) at that date. 

The impact of the restatement is summarised below: 

- ∂ At 1[st] October 2023: 

   - ∂ Deferred income decreased by £78,397. 

   - ∂ Restricted funds increased by £78,397. 

- ∂ For the year ended 30[th] September 2024: 

   - ∂ Income from grants increased by £12,947. 

   - ∂ Net movement in funds increased by £12,947. 

There is no impact on total cash flows for any period.
