REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2023

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Structure, governance and management

Founded in 1908, the Club is a company limited by guarantee with a constitution comprising revised. Articles of Association adopted by a General Meeting of the Downside Settlement on 4 November 2010. It is registered under the Charities Act 2011 (charity registration number: 252196).

The Club was set up as a Boys Club in 1908 by Father Stephen Rawlinson, a monk of Downside Abbey, together with a group of alumni from Downside School. The Fisher Boxing Club was incorporated in 1912 and the Fisher Football Club was created as a separate entity. The Club later included the Worth name, reflecting the foundation of Worth School. The combined Clubs moved to their current premises in 1974.

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Coxon Place, Druid Street, London, SE1 2EZ.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives

The Charity's objects are specifically restricted to the following: "to provide and run facilities for recreation and other leisure-time occupations for young persons, in the interests of their social welfare within the meaning of the Recreational Charities Act 1958 as therein limited with the object of improving their condition in life in accordance with the Christian ethos"; and "to undertake research into the special problems arising from the lack of recreational and educational facilities for young persons in Bermondsey and into methods of improving such facilities and to publish and/or implement the results of such research".

The Club's general objects are to promote good citizenship and the physical, social, mental and moral welfare of young people through various activities. The Club continues to support disadvantaged young people from Bermondsey and its neighbouring areas, and helps them to fulfil their potential as capable, confident young adults through a structured programme of sporting, artistic and recreational activities.

Activities

The Club is highly valued in the local community for its role in teaching its members respect and fair play and for broadening their horizons. The Club is located at the heart of a council estate in an area which is above the UK and London averages on measures of poverty as defined by HMRC and as defined by the Department of Education which collect data on the number of children receiving free school meals and the numbers of 16 to 18 year olds not in education, training or employment. Premises We are very fortunate to have freehold, unencumbered possession of our purpose-built premises. Built in 1974 the premises were refurbished in 2007/8. The premises provide a valuable community resource containing a swimming pool, games room, mirrored dance studio, boxing gym, a sports hall with built-in climbing wall, an open plan reception area with cafeteria, a football roof pitch and a fully equipped training kitchen. Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) checks Under the government's Disclosure Barring Service (formerly Criminal Records Bureau (CRB)) we undertake 'enhanced disclosures' checks for all staff and volunteers. We maintain a comprehensive record of all such checks. The Disclosure and Barring Service helps employers make safe recruitment decisions and prevent unsuitable people from working with vulnerable groups, including children. Christine Annis is our child protection officer.

Public benefit

In planning the activities, the Directors have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2023

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Activities and achievements

We set ourselves a number of goals last year:

Age specific

We still struggle to attract older teenagers and will continue to work on that in the coming year. We hold a Friday evening fitness gym to give older teenagers an attractive alternative to hanging out on the streets. Following the death of Steve Hiser, our long-standing boxing coach, last year, we have rebuilt the boxing with five volunteer coaches led by Ray Bull and Peter McDonagh. The club is open every evening. This appeals to older teenagers and is a key part of our offering to them.

Outward Bound

We organised a sailing trip during the year. The staff costs make this expensive, but we continue to see enormous benefit to taking young people away from their environment and having the time to mentor them and introduce them to new challenges. We will continue to find ways to do that in 2024.

Holiday activity programme

For the second year we had activities during the summer holidays which enabled young people locally to use our facilities for various activities during the summer holidays at discounted rates. One of the key reasons for domestic poverty is that parents are unable to work due to childcare responsibilities and we hope that we can therefore make an additional contribution to the community in this way.

Opening four nights a week

As of November, the club is now open five evenings a week. This has required investment from the club in staff, but we hope this will make the club more accessible and that we can expand our offering to the young people. Wednesday is a girls only evening, and Friday for 16+.

More diverse programme

The latest programme can be found on our new website: www.downside-fisher.org We will continue to challenge ourselves to expand this. Our current club program for the week includes the Games room, Climbing wall, Badminton, Swimming, Football, Fitness Gym, Arts & Craft, Basketball, Cooking, Girls only fitness gym, and Kayaking. Our staff and volunteers vary their time across the different sessions, ensuring that the young people get the most out of each individual activity. The staff are required to do a nightly evaluation form which collates information such as attendance, how the session went and any feedback from our members. From this feedback we have been able to track the development and progress of our young people as well as have indication of what activities are popular and why. Examples of their feedback is shown below:

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Football

I really enjoy the Football sessions at Downside side as Winston & Alfie have implemented real yellow and red cards which gives it an authentic feel. I was allowed to referee, and I gave out 5 yellow cards and 1 red card, it was Amazing!!! (GW)

Gym

Great session and I felt I learnt a lot. I want to do this twice a week (TR)

Girls Gym

I am learning so much and think that it is important to know how someone my age should exercise without weights. (DC)

Swimming

I love swimming and the lifeguards make it fun by playing games with us (CG)

Basketball

I am so passionate about Basketball, and I was happy when Phil allowed me to run the session (NI)

We have been able to expand the use of our popular pool with the help of our supporters. We deliver a rookie lifeguarding courses for our members. We managed to get 3 young people through the program with 1 member becoming a qualified lifeguard. The other 2 members became swimming assistance to the swimming teachers.

We are also delivering a Kayaking project where our young people engage in a 6 to 8 week course. This has been successful with the members, and we have had a few day trips to Brentford and Surrey Dock water sports centre to do some training outside of our swimming pool. We currently have good funding for this project so will continue to recruit and deliver the course into next year.

Summary of attendees

In 2022 we had a membership of approximately 441 members. This year 2023 we had a target of continuing to grow the membership by 20% and to create an activity program that would excite and engage young people. The membership actually grew to 558.

Another target was to attract more young people from the local area of Bermondsey and to only accept young people from outside the borough who either went to school in Bermondsey or were affiliated to a current member. This was to ensure that the money we received from funders went to benefitting the local community as a priority. The graph below shows that we continue largely to serve the local community.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The other key membership numbers we look at are gender and ethnic background, the statistics for which are shown below:

FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial Review

The club has recorded income of £398,996 (2022: £427,197) and expenditure of £510,660 (£451,665). This increase in cost reflects the significant increase in energy pricing and a decision to invest in a new club manager. We are grateful to a wide variety of donors for what we have been able to achieve during the year. We generate much of our income from letting out the building which we continue to try to increase, most recently with a new plan for generating more income from the pool. The new club manager has been instrumental in driving more structured programmes and additional funding has followed as a result.

At the time of writing our cash position was healthy but we continue to run with very limited reserves following COVID. One of the objectives of the trustees is to build a small buffer so that we can survive such events. One initiative this year is to have a drive to ask supporters to consider a legacy to us in their will.

A number of long serving trustees have stepped down over the year and we are grateful to them. We continue to aim for a group of trustees that has local connections, funding connections and expertise in areas of relevance such as youth work, facilities management or line management. We are lucky with our roster of trustees who are all active in the club and we welcome applications to join our group.

DOWNSIDE SETTLEMENT(THE)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2023

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Management structure and reporting

The trustees are responsible for the overall strategy, direction and management of the Club. Day-to- day matters are delegated to the Manager. There is a schedule of matters reserved for trustee approval.

Risk management

The trustees assess the major risks to which the Club is exposed at each trustees' meeting, in particular those relating to the specific operational and financial aspects of the Club. The trustees have established health and safety and child protection policies to address operational risks. Budgetary and financial reporting disciplines together with controls over key financial systems address the main financial risks facing the Club.

Trustees

The trustees all give their time freely and none have any financial interest in the Club. Under the Club's adopted Articles of Association, the trustees are indemnified from personal liability out of the assets of the Club. If the Charity is wound up or dissolved and, after the satisfaction of all its debts and liabilities, any property remains shall not be paid to or distributed among the members of the Charity but shall be given or transferred to some other charity or charities having objects similar to the charity and which prohibit the distribution of its or their income and property among its or their members to an extent at least as great as is imposed on the Charity by Article 6 chosen by the members of the Charity at or before the time of dissolution and if this is not possible, then to some other charitable object.

During the year the trustees have reviewed their role, the ideal number and composition of the board and procedures for selection and appointment of trustees. Future recruitment of trustees will have regard to the different professional and personal experience and qualities that are needed by the board and also for their common interest and concern for:

The success and future of the Club; Resources, both staff and physical, of the Club and their adequacy for purpose; The Catholic/Christian foundation of the Club;

The ethos (social, moral, spiritual and cultural elements of the Club); The financial viability and security of the Club; and, The health and safety of the premises, members and staff.

On appointment, new trustees receive a briefing about the Club and its activities by the Chairman and Manager and are provided with information about the responsibilities of trustees. There is currently no formal training programme for trustees, but briefings on specific issues such as health and safety, child protection and risk management form part of trustee meetings.

In considering the structure and membership of the Board, the trustees have due regard to succession planning for the Chairman. The trustees are also conscious that successors need to be identified well in advance of other positions to allow sufficient time for suitable candidates to be identified and recruited. Trustees shall be appointed for a term of two years or (if earlier) until the AGM (if any) held in the second calendar year after the date of their appointment, election or re-election. Upon the expiry of such term, such Trustee shall continue in office for a further such term unless the Trustees resolve otherwise (or in the case of an AGM being held, a resolution to re-elect him is put to the meeting and lost).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DOWNSIDE SETTLEMENT(THE)

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Downside Settlement(The) ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also 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 Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as 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 your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can 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 Company 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 (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.

DOWNSIDE SETTLEMENT(THE)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are presented in sterling (£).

Going concern

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, as there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. Based on the adequacy of the charity's reserves as at the balance sheet date, along with their knowledge of the charity's ability to meet bills, payments and other liabilities as they fall due, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimated and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The following judgements and estimates are considered by the trustees to have most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Useful economic life of tangible fixed assets:

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. In cases where it is received for a specific project or activity, this is included within restricted funds. - legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. - income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. - Contributions in kind are recorded at fair values on the date of contributions. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. - expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. - other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - 2% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost Motor vehicles - 25% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Debtors

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

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes current and deposit bank account. The charity has divided its balances across a number of financial institutions in order to mitigate risk.

Creditors

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will 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 are recognised at their settlement.

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially settled at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Pensions

The company operates a defined contribution scheme for certain of its employees. Pension contributions are charged as they are paid.

Limited by guarantee
