HIGHWAY CLUBS (INCORPORATED)(THE)
DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT
COMPANY REGISTRATION NUMBER: 00175883
CHARITY REGISTRATION NUMBER: 222327
The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022. The Trustees confirm that these accounts comply with Statutory Requirements, its Memorandum and Articles of Association and Statement of Recommended Practice (Accounting and Reporting by Charities) and the Financial Reporting Standard FRS102 (effective Jan 2015).
Objects of the Charity and Principal Activities
The Charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The Charity’s object and its principal activity continues to be that of promotion of The Highway Clubs, through the education, cultural, social, spiritual and physical activities of the clubs, the conscious or unconscious absorption of these fundamentals; the application of them to everyday life in the service of our fellow man and woman, and the total fitness of mind, body and spirit of all who come within the membership of The Highway Clubs.
Directors/Trustees
The Directors and Trustees throughout the period were as follows:
K E Clark P Mulcahy R L McCallum
Transactions, Financial Position and Review of the Development of the Charity
The Statements of Financial Activities show a surplus of Income over expenditure of £22,613 (2021 £10,683) and the reserves stand at £261,145 (2021 £238,532).
The company’s main charitable activities during the year under review were to make available its premises at concessionary rates to local sports and boxing clubs used by local children. The company has no plans to change these objectives.
The Charity continues to receive excellent support from volunteers and would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their time and efforts.
Funds Available
The present level of funding is adequate to support the continuation of the clubs now in operation for the medium term and the Trustees consider the financial position of the Charity to be satisfactory. The Charity’s assets are available and adequate to fulfil its current obligations.
Directors and Trustees
All Directors of the Company are also Trustees of the Charity and there are no other Trustees. The Board has the power to appoint additional Trustees as it considers fit to do so. The number of Trustees currently in place has fallen below the minimum number required by the company’s Articles of Association. The Trustees are actively searching for additional Trustees and hope to be able to appoint new Trustees in the near future.

HIGHWAY CLUBS (INCORPORATED)(THE)
DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
Trustees reach decisions relating to the Charity’s day to day business using a democratic voting system, with a simple majority finalising the decision made.
The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and have implemented necessary systems to mitigate those risks.
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also directors of Highways Club (Incorporated)(The) 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 company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
(i) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
(ii) observe methods and principles in the Charities FRS 102 SORP;
-
(iii) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
(iv) state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
(v) prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Directors’ and Trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Act applicable to small companies.
Approved by the Board of Directors and Trustees on

HIGHWAY CLUBS (INCORPORATED)(THE)
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HIGHWAY CLUBS (INCORPORATED)(THE)
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 4 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Accountants
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is therefore eligible for independent examination it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by Charity Commission under
-
section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent accountants’ report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Accountants’ Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the below requirements have not been met:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

9. ANALYSIS OF RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED FUND
Unrestricted reserves have been generated through the principal activities of the Charity and have no restrictions imposed. The purpose of the fund is to allow the continued use of the Charity’s asset to fulfil its overall objective as set out in the Trustees report. Sufficient funds are held to finance the Charity in the medium term.
Restricted funds relate to income generated from the sale of Abbots Holt Cottage and may only be used for the physical and social benefits of boys, particularly in connection with camps, playgrounds, club premises and similar projects. Adequate funds are held to achieve these restrictions.
