Management Committee Report for the year ended 31 March 2022

Charity Status

Tatworth Playing Fields was established by Trust Deed dated 22 March 1973 by the then Chard Parish Council and is a registered charity, number 308115. The recreation ground is held in trust for the benefit of the inhabitants of Chard Parish, Somerset, by the Management Committee.

Management Committee

The Charity's Management Committee during the last year is set out on Page 1.

The members of the Management Committee are appointed annually with the officers being elected from the members of the committee.

Objectives, organisations and activities

The Charity was established to hold the Playing Fields, which were purchased by the Chard Parish Council in 1970, on trust as a recreation ground for the benefit of the local community. The recreation ground includes football and cricket pitches, a children's play area, a multi-use games area and a tennis court as well as providing open space for other community events. In addition, there is a pavilion, which is available for hire, and changing rooms.

Review of Progress and Achievements

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 it has been another quite year for the Playing Fields. We were unable to hold three of our main funding raising events: Beer Festival, Vintage Rally, Party in the Park were all cancelled. We were able have our annual Bonfire Night which was a huge success after a very quiet couple of years.

Perry Street Football and the youth football teams were able run their seasons again this year and the WI were able to play croquet throughout the summer. Unfortunately, the Good Companions were again unable to use the inside facilities.

Finances and policy on reserves

The Charity Balance sheet remains strong with healthy amounts held in the bank accounts. Reserves are maintained to allow the Charity to maintain the Playing Fields and improve the facilities as finance allows.

The Charity continues to fund raise to be able to meet the costs of running the Playing Fields.

The Management Committee thank the volunteers and village organisations who offer help and support to all projects.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OF TATWORTH PLAYING FIELDS

This report on the Accounts of Tatworth Playing Fields for the year ended 31 March 2022 is in respect of an examination carried out under S.145 of the Charities Act 2011.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER

As the Charity's trustees the Management Committee are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts; you consider that the audit requirement S.144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under S.145 (5)(b) of The Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention .

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

My examinations were carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners. That 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 the seeking of explanations from you, as trustees, concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

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:
to keep accounting records in accordance with S.130 of The Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of The Act have not been met; or
