The charity was established by Trust Deed dated 8th October 1965 (amended 12th December 1993) by Manchester County Council and is registered with the Charity commission, No. 521240.
The board of trustees set out the policy and major decisions with the management committee on behalf of each sporting constituent body.
Related parties
No related party transactions occurred during the year.
Risk management
An independent person carries out a general risk assessment on the Sports Club and grounds. Recommendations are carried out in order to mitigate the significant risks. This will be an ongoing review.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charities object and its principal activity continues to be that of providing facilities for recreational and sporting activities for the benefit of the inhabitants of the greater Manchester area.
Membership is open to members of the constituent bodies:
Old Bedians Rugby Football Club Bedians Amateur Football Club Oisin Gaelic Athletic Association
And members of any other properly appointed organisation, drawn from the same area and elected by the Management Committee.
The facilities are available for hire by any individual or organisation in accordance with the standard hiring agreement drawn up.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
This year has seen a full sporting program with each of the disciplines, up until the imposition of the national lockdown.
Each section raised funds throughout the year for the upkeep and improvement of the grounds.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to endeavour to maintain the unrestricted fund at a level to meet the unrestricted expenditure for the following twelve months. This would then provide sufficient funds to cover the management, administration and support costs.
Principal funding sources
Principal funding sources continues to come from bar takings and a contribution from each sporting section.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity has made a small profit this year.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Old Bedians Sports Centre
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 May 2025 set out on pages five to nine.
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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 43(3) (a) of the 1993 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the 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 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 Section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 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.
