THE ASHES PLAYING FIELD TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The trustees present their annual report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.
GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Ashes Playing Field Trust is a registered charity, No. 523252, and was established under its Governing Trust Deed dated 11 October 1927.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
In planning our activities for the year the trustee's have borne in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
The object of the Charity is to manage the public playing fields and recreation grounds for the use of the 5,000 people of Howden Town and the additional population of the surrounding area.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The trustees have due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on matters of public benefit and keep under constant review the need to satisfy the requirements of identifiable benefit to the public.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The chairman's review of the Trust affairs
As the world continues to recover from the global covid lockdown and the challenging economic and financial climate, the Ashes Playing Field Trust has also undergone a period of change with Trustees Alexander Bell, Catherine Brown, Helen Gott and Chris Dalton (Chair) resigning due to variety of reasons on/around 31 March 2023. Trustees however, continue to work in the parks best interest and day to day management of the park.
The park continues to enjoy having a groundsman who continues to maintain and improve the park as his main remit and support local residents when using the facilities.
The park has benefitted from slitting of the playing fields in order to improve the surface drainage and grass growth making it suitable for the events carried out in the park.
As the trees in our park have reached end of life we have sadly had to have removed a number of trees which will continue into 2024 with Ash die back being diagnosed on a number of our trees.
The park has enjoyed hosting a number of events including the Howden Run, Howden Show and a multitude of different sporting events including football and bowls.
Trustees continue to work hard fund raising through the year which assists with the running costs of the park.
Trustees would like to give a very big thank you to our local community/residents and benefactors for their continuing support and donations during this very difficult economic climate.
We would also like to particularly thank Howden Parish Town council for their continued advice, support and guidance and in particular the grant they generously give us to continue our work.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The accounts show a operating deficit for the year of £435. The Trust continues to rely on the support of the Howden Town Council to support its expenditure.
Charity reserves on 31 March 2023 amounted to £540,350 of which £419,884 was in permanent endowment funds and £35,719 was in restricted funds. Unrestricted funds consisted of designated funds of £82,635 leaving free reserves of £2,113. The trustees monitor unrestricted fund reserves at regular intervals throughout the year.
INVESTMENT POLICY
Our investment account is managed by our brokers on a discretionary basis and transactions are conducted by them without specific reference to the Trust. However, we are advised of the details of purchases and sales, and provided with regular reports on performance.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
RISK ASSESSMENT
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the Trustee's policy that they will not hold any significant non designated reserves other than a small balance to cover any unexpected calls on funds not otherwise provided by designated reserves.
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on in October 2019.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ASHES PLAYING FIELD TRUST
CHARITY NUMBER 523252
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Ashes Playing Field Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 6 to 11.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trustee's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Report Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
Independent Examiners' Statement
I have completed my examination. I 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
-
(2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
(3) 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.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

THE ASHES PLAYING FIELD TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The accounts (financial statements) 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 (FRS102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
Fixed assets
Fixed assets consist of garden land and are recorded at cost.
The land is not depreciated.
Investments
Investments are stated at cost. Realised gains and losses on investments, calculated as the difference between the sales proceeds and their cost at the start of the year, or subsequent cost are credited or charged to the SOFA in the year of gain or loss, such gains or losses are unrestricted.
Value added tax
Value added tax is not recoverable by the charity, and as such is included in the relevant costs in the statement of financial activities.
Recognition of incoming resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and voluntary income are accounted for as received by the charity.
All income is shown gross with associated costs included in expenditure.
Resources expended and basis of allocation of costs
Expenditure is included when incurred.
Where costs are directly attributable to a specific project, then those costs are charged against that project.
Expenditure involving more than one project are apportioned on a reasonable and consistent basis.
Funds Accounting
Funds held by the charity are:
Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds - these are funds which can only be used for the specific purpose for which the income has been received.
Endowment funds - these are capital funds where the capital cannot be spent although the income may be spent. The income may be added to restricted or unrestricted funds depending on the terms of the original endowment imposed by the donor.
