Aldingbourne Community Sports Centre Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 January 2023

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2023.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Aldingbourne Community Sports Centre is a registered charity number 276055, and is constituted by a Scheme sealed by the Charities Commission on 28[th] May 1997. The scheme provides that the charity is managed by a Committee of Management (The Committee) which, when complete, consists of five elected members, and one representative member appointed by each organisation denoted within the Scheme. The Scheme includes regulations regarding the appointment of members, co-opted members and filling of casual vacancies.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review risks to which the charity is exposed, and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

OBJECTS AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The object of the charity is the provision and maintenance of a recreation ground and community centre for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Aldingbourne and the surrounding neighbourhood (the area of benefit) with the object of improving the conditions of the life of those inhabitants.

The charity aims to provide affordable facilities to the inhabitants of the area of benefit, including voluntary organisations and others serving the community for the purpose of recreation and other leisure time occupation.

In setting objectives and planning activities, the Committee has given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, and the charity has provided continued availability of the facilities for public benefit. The Committee undertakes projects and activities that are in line with the charity’s objectives and aims.

ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial position of the charity is set out within the financial statements attached to this report.

For our financial year ending January 2023 the charity has received total income of £46,770 during the year, including a Covid support grant of £2,667. The main source of income has been derived from letting the centre’s facilities and grounds. Total resources expended amounted to £45,585. The majority of the expenses have been in the upkeep and maintenance of the Community Centre and grounds. The charity has unrestricted funds of £89,788, of which £25,261 comprises cash at bank and in hand.

The Committee has determined that an amount of £10,000 should be maintained as a bank reserve to be available to meet any unanticipated expenditure.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Aldingbourne Community Sports Centre For the Year Ended 31 January 2023

I report on the accounts of the charity for the Year Ended 31 January 2023, which are set out on pages 4 to 11.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustee is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustee considers that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 examiner's 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 requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of

  4. the

  5. 2011 Act

have not been met ; or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
