REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31

MARCH 2024

The Management Committee presents its report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.

GOVERNING DOCUMENT

The club is an unincorporated charity, registered as such on 24 April 1970

The charity was established under a Trust Deed dated 24 April 1970 as amended on 5 June 1997 which established the objectives and powers of the charity. Under that deed, the trustees may appoint a person who is willing to act as a Trustee, either to fill a vacancy, or as an additional Trustee.

ACTIVITIES

The charity exists to provide facilities to individuals and communities who are in need due to poverty or disadvantage, and in doing so to improve their quality of life.

RESULTS

The net incoming resources for the year amounted to a surplus amount of £ 63,922, leaving a fund balance of £148,381. This compares to an incoming net resource in 2023 of £36,721, and a fund balance of £84,459.

CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES

To establish and develop an attractively designed playground i.e. a playground where moveable equipment and materials are provided with a view to contributing to the health, well-being and happiness of children and safely promoting their educational, physical and emotional development through a wide range of recreational facilities.

FUTURE STRATEGY

The charity plans to continue the activities as outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding

arrangements to benefit the children and families of the Sands End community. Funding and other beneficial support is being sought from the local business community and the wider national and local charitable trust funds.

RESERVES POLICY

The management committee have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or investing in

tangible fixed assets (‘the free reserves’) held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of resources expended. The management committee will continue to seek funding from a broad base of charitable trusts supporting our objectives in order to maintain and improve on current service delivery.

INVESTMENT POLICY

The management committee has considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and this will be in deposit accounts which will ensure that the funds are in a liquid state at all times. Reserves will be placed in a ‘High Interest’ account in order to make the best of the current financial climate.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The principal current funding source is the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, along with Sportgate (Polo In The Park). The charity has also received significant support in 2023 from the John Lyons Charity to support its activities. Additional income is generated through childcare fees, room hire and other chargeable activities. We are seeking and have had successful small local grants for specific activities and will seek larger grants for posts.

RISK REVIEW

The management committee has conducted its own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for diversification of funding and activities. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of our revised financial procedures. These policies and procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the requirements of the charity.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

The Charities Act 2011 requires the management committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which

give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements the management committee should follow best practice and:

The management committee is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which 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 management committee is 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.

MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

Members of the management committee, who are trustees for the purpose of charity law, who serve during the period and up to the date of this report are set out on page 3.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS
