Trustees' report continued
The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued in March 2005 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is operated under its constitution, and was entered on the Register of Charities effective from 11 October 1976.
Overall management of the charity is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected and coopted under the terms of the trust deed. Day to day project activity is managed and carried out by volunteers and paid staff.
Aims & Organisation
22-23 has been a successful year for raising funds for the club, we have posted a small net profit of £4143 which has been a reversal of the previous years. As a youth and community centre we have provided structured youth sessions 3 nights a week delivered by qualified youth workers.
We have provided events, activities and residential trips to young people in the community who would never normally have access to these kind of events. We are situated in one of the most deprived areas of South Yorkshire and the country so the need for quality youth work services is needed and with the cost of living crisis the country is facing our services become more stretched but at the same time more in demand.
The Community deserve a quality facility and the committee has worked hard this year to try and secure funding for a new building, post year we are currently being considered for a MMC structure to meet the ever growing needs of the local community.
As a committee we are driven to emulate the success of this year throughout 2023-24 and ultimately want to see the club as the hub of the community being run by a full time centre manager.

Reserves Policy
It is a policy of the charity to achieve unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, which are used for the benefit of the charity’s work. Restricted reserves are maintained which are specifically used for the purpose laid down by the donor.
It is the aim of the Trustees to maintain unrestricted funds equivalent to 50% of the annual expenditure in unrestricted activities, although at present the difficult financial situation means that further work is required to meet this objective.
Trustees responsibilities for the financial statements
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which show the state of affairs of the charity and of net income or expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
q select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
q make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
q prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it
-
is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
-
q state whether applicable accounting standards of recommended
-
practice have been followed subject to any 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 the Trustees to prepare financial statements. The Trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The Rotherham Blackburn Club for Young People
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 6 to 8.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider 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.
It is my responsibility to:
q examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
q to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
q to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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:
q to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and q to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
