## **Management Committee Report for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## 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
Following on Covid-19 we were pleased to be able to hold our funding raising events this year, which proved hugely successful after two very quiet years. The first two events were the Beer Festival in April and the Vintage Rally in June. The committee decided to no longer hold Party in the Park as it was no longer a profit-making event. This was replaced by a Cider, Gin & Sausage Festival in September, which proved very popular and will now be held annually. We also had our annual Bonfire Night in November.
Perry Street Football Club and the Perry Street Youth Football Club had another successful season again this year and the WI were able to play croquet throughout the summer.
## 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.

## **TATWORTH PLAYING FIELDS REGISTRATION NUMBER 308115**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity and of its financial activities for that period, together with its assets and liabilities at the end of the period and adequately distinguish any material special trust or other restricted fund of the Charity. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charity will continue in business, and
- State whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate SORP on Accounting by Charities and the Accounting Regulations and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
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 the Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice and the regulations made under S144 of the Charities Act 2011. 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.
**TATWORTH PLAYING FIELDS REGISTRATION NUMBER 308115**
## **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 2024 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
# **TATWORTH PLAYING FIELDS REGISTRATION NUMBER 8115**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OF TATWORTH PLAYING FIELDS**
## **~CONTINUED~**
- 2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
