THE BETTESHANGER SOCIAL WELFARE SCHEME Reference and Administrative Information For year ended 30th June 2024
The Trustees present their report with the unaudited financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The purpose of the charity as set out in its governing document is to provide a Social Welfare Centre and Sports Recreation Ground for the use of the residents in the Borough of Deal, Parish of Northbourne and surrounding areas.
The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes are rent of properties, pitch hires, hall hire and provision of recreational facilities.
ACHEIVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Trustees believe that the Charity objectives are continuing to be achieved successfully.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Full details of the Charity Finances are set out over the following pages
It is the policy of the Charity to continue to build up reserves to a sufficient level by means of annual operating surpluses, development of land and judicious management of investment assets
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Charity is constituted under the Charity Commission Scheme and is registered charity 302727.
The management committee during the year consisted of Trustees and Secretary, along with sub-committee responsible for management of The Sports Club.
The Trustees are appointed by the National Union of Miners and separately by the Colliery Industry Social Welfare Organisation.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The Charity trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust Deed. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities
RISK MANAGEMENT
The management committee keeps under constant review the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and seeks to minimise and mitigate them. The committee has in place a health and safety policy covering all aspects of the use of the building by the charity and by the user-groups who rent space in it.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The trustees believe that their policy of making recreational and sports facilities available to user-groups and individuals, from the Borough of Deal, Parish of Northbourne and surrounding areas, and giving whatever other support possible to those usergroups, is for the public benefit, as required by charity legislation.
GOING CONCERN
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees have determined that The Betteshanger Social Welfare Scheme should seek to maintain a level of reserves as follows:

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the disposition of the net assets of the Charity and of its financial transactions for that year. The trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
prepare the statements on a going concern basis unless that is inappropriate
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with charity law. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
GOVERNANCE OF THE CHARITY
The trustees have a further duty to ensure that the governance of the charity is conducted to the highest standards. In this charity, it is accepted as being the responsibility of the trustees themselves - and that being so, there can clearly be no monetary costs attached to these activities. The expenditure heading in the Statement of Financial Activities under which governance would have been included had there been any such expenditure, is "management and administration". No mention is made of governance under that heading simply because no resources were so expended. The trustees confirm, however, that it is their belief that they have properly met their obligations in this regard.
