Chairpersons Report

Can | start off by saying well done to another year of providing the young people of this area with a safe and enjoyable place to meet up with their friends, make new friends and maybe in the process learn a few life skills.

This year we have had four well-established football teams that are doing really well. Moving forward from September 2025 this has increased to seven teams. Well done to the football managers for their constant commitment to getting more young people involved. Financially we are at the point where we need to increase our fundraising levels in order to function in a way that has always worked and that is to keep our subscriptions and event costs as low as possible.

So, with that in mind this year we started to look into what we consider a much fairer system which was to be implemented in our next financial year.

The increased fundraising is already being carried out by our Social Club section, whom | must praise, they have a very hardworking committee that works tirelessly to fundraise to help us in our cause.

The new implementation has been circulated out to all the parents with the vast majority, if not all our parents, accepting and agreeing with these changes positively. So, | would like to say thank you to all the parents for your support. We have gone through a lot of change over the last 5 years, some minor, some major and | must say that most changes are made in order to involve and improve. We have had to evolve to comply with an ever-changing world. Our new Leader Martin Watson is beginning to bed into his new role and | think he is beginning to wonder what he has got himself into.....but we are all confident in his ability and enthusiasm and on a personal note | must say how proud | am with him stepping into this role. Believe me Martin it gets easier after the first few years. Jon has stepped out of the frying pan and into the fire by taking on the role of treasurer and | can’t help but think how ironic it is that the Leader with the biggest budgets in the Club’s history has suddenly asked for a short period of austerity. I’m sure he will soften as time passes. Thank you, Jon.

This AGM we will see the retirement of the legendary Mr. Richard Watts. ‘Dickie’ to a lot of us, but ‘Mr Watts’ to a lot of older members, some of whom now have grandchildren of their own, but still refer to him as ‘Mr Watts.’ That is the respect he had, he has epitomised everything about the Club, his dedication and loyalty and wisdom has been second to nobody. He has been our moral compass and will be irreplaceable. We as a Club are so grateful for all his contributions over the last 60 years. | could go on all day praising this man (but I’ll never get to the bar) On a personal note, over the last 40 years Elaine and | have formed a long and lasting friendship with Richard and his good wife Hazel, who has always backed him. Richard or Mr Chairman as | call him has helped me through umpteen management issues and has always been the voice of reason. | am going to miss you Mr Chairman. Dickie and | always said one day we would both sit down in the bar and have a stress-free beer. Well, your seat is there my friend, and | will be joining you shortly. Thank you Mr. Richard Watts. Finally, and most importantly | would like to thank our amazing group of voluntary helpers for your enthusiasm and dedication, which is fantastic. You are and always will be the most

important group of people at this Club. Along with the Admin team you all make this place re underestimate the work you do to ensure the young people have a place to call their own.

Thanks for your time and this concludes my report.

Gary Watson Chairperson

Leaders Report

Thank you everyone for attending today, it’s always refreshing to see everyone here with one main reason the importance of how our club is running and what we have done over the last year. This year has been particularly challenging filling to very big shoes of Jon as leader, believe me | have discovered over the last 12 months how hard this job is and how well Jon managed to steer the ship for so long.

This year like no other has been very busy with renovations to the club to improve what we already have and with plans afoot to do further changes in the games room and of course the new darts set up which will benefit both sides of the club but that will be revealed in good time.

Thanks to our hard working social club committee who have been creating a more varied events for our members to enjoy such as our newly successful paint and sip nights, various quizzes and bingo nights, another fantastic golf day organised by Nick, alongside various music nights, themed nights, festival, our new open day formats and that’s just to mention a few. Again massive thanks to anyone who has organised events this year it’s a huge help to our club, special mention to Dan who has madea fantastic start to life as social club chairman he really has took well to the job.

Also Paul who has taken over from Pete and has also done tremendous with new ideas and also ensuring our members have a voice and has implemented his own stance on how things, also thanks to Pete and Tracy for the cleaning and the rotas ensuring the staffing is sorted each week.

Thanks to our management committee this year too for their patience with me, it’s certainly been a massive year of change and when you have so many great people to back you up with their guidance makes my joba lot easier. | should thank Jon for all his hard work with the accounts and must find it very strange sitting on the other side of the fence when it comes to saving the money rather than spending it

Thanks to both our lovely admin staff who work tirelessly and | mean that everyday with so much more going on to bring in fresh revenue to help keep costings down as much as possible for both our memberships, also the team maintenance teams for the improvements they have made all this year

Obviously you the members know about the changes we have made in both memberships, with the longevity of our club the main reason for this but also to make it more appealing to become members which so far has shown positive signs in uptake of memberships on both sides of the club. So to the members to would like to say thank you for supporting this motion

My final thanks and biggest has to go to our helpers, | always say this and mean it, you are the backbone of our club, you give your time to make our club such as great place to be and resent positive feedback from parents pays testament to that, keep up the fantastic work you do and thanks for all you do for our great club

My final thing | want to say before | conclude is not technically on this years report but | feel | should say, the passing of Pete Hall has been felt a lot at this club and it wouldn’t be right to not recognise it, he became the first man in the UK to receive 60 years voluntary service to any club, he alongside the recipients of our lifetime achievement have shaped what our club is today and it’s the reason why we must carry the lantern on for many more decades to come.

Thanks for your time and this concludes my report.

Leader

Treasurers Report

Hello everybody. This year is our first financial year as a CIO and has incorporated many changes and progression of the club.

Firstly | would like to thank our Administration Team Elaine Watson & Nicola Miller as without them the new systems that have been implemented wouldn’t have been able to succeed.

This year we have seen our fundraising figures reduced due to raffle ticket sales being at a low for both our two main funding events, due to this we have implemented a new system for the 25-26 financial period.

Unfortunately, this has meant that we have had to withdraw funds from our investments again. We are constantly working and reviewing how we can limit this for future years, as if we continue to progress in the manner that we have been (excluding projects that have been done to benefit the charity) we will have a limited number of years left with funds behind us.

| do not want this to worry people because as | have said we are working tirelessly to ensure we Can maximise income and reduce expenditure wherever possible. This includes applying for grants where possible and hire out the facilities in the daytime.

We will always endeavour to ensure that the club is available for the young people that attend, whether it be via the Youth club evenings or our Football teams.

This club has prospered for a long time and we will ensure it’s future to the best of our abilities.

Our Social club committee work hard to ensure there are numerous events through the year for you the members to enjoy while still raising money to fund our club. | would like to thank them all for their efforts with all these events as it provides vital funding for the club.

We have managed to secure three grants this year from;

Garfield Western Foundation £5,000

Support Staffordshire VCSE Grant Scheme £5,000

Community Foundation Grant £5,00

| would like to thank everyone for their continued support to our club.

Thank you

Jon Miller

Independent Examiner’s Statement on the Unaudited Accounts for
DBC Club for Young People ClO charity no. 1209648.
----- End of picture text -----

| report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31° July 2025

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

| report in respect of my examination of the CIO’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination | have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

| have completed my examination. | confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  1. The accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. The accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

Report to the Trustees of DBC Club for Young People CIO

| have now carried out an Independent Audit of the accounts and report as follows:

e Isampled some Invoices/receipts and all are satisfactory. e | note you are in the process of creating contracts of employment however these should be in place prior to the start of employment. My main area of concern is that you pay quite a lot of individuals outside of the payroll system. | note | did ask if they were self-employed and the response was that they were, but you do not request evidence. | would recommend that you ask for evidence of selfemployment status e.g. evidence from HMRC of their Unique Tax Reference number.

Notes

1. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

1.1. Basis of preparation of the accounts

The accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention and include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustees’ Annual Report and all of which are continuing. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: ' Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ' (Charities SORP) , and with FRS 102, applying the disclosure requirements of section 1, other than where additional disclosure is required by the Charities SORP or in order to showa true and fair view, and the Charities Act 2011 and applicable regulations. The accounts are presented UK pounds.

1.2 Comparative figures

Accounts were prepared for a 12 month period from 1 August 2024 to 31° July

1.3 Legal status

The charity is a CIO governed by the Trustees and the club's adopted constitution.

1.4. Income

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when:

1.5. Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Income and expenses are not offset, unless permitted by the Charity SORP or FRS 102.

1.6. Stock

Stocks are included at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making provision for any obsolete or slow moving items.

1.7. Debtors and cash and bank balances

Debtors and cash and bank balances are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

1.8. Fund accounting

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Designated funds are unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees at their discretion to use for a particular purpose.

Restricted funds are held and maintained separately from other funds in recognition of the circumstances in which the resources were originally received, and/or the restrictions on that fund that determine the way those resources are subsequently to be treated.
