ASHES PLAYING FIELD TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The trustees present their annual report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.
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.
The Chair will contact the Clerk of Howden Parish Council and ask them to advertise for an Ashes Playing Field Trust Trustee(s). The Parish Council place an advert on their website and applications are then passed to the Chair from the Parish Clerk.
The Chair and one other Trustee, normally the Treasurer, will meet the applicant and have a discussion about the role. If the applicant would like to proceed they are then invited to a Trust meeting. At the end of the meeting the applicant is formally asked if they would like to join the Trust and then all members vote on the motion. The applicant is then a Town Trustee and can sit on the Trust for 3 years.
If an applicant applies directly to the Ashes Playing Field Trust the same procedure as a Town Trustee is followed and the applicant would be an Ashes Trustee.
New Trustees are mentored by more established Trustees.
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
Howden town continues to significantly grow in size and the Ashes Playing Field Park has seen much increase in the number of visitors using its facilities.
The Ashes Playing Field has seen a drop in funding by the local council and other revenue streams and continues
to experience challenging times in the current economic climate.
Trustees have grown in numbers, and they continue to work extremely hard in the parks best interest and day to day management.
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 again benefitted from slitting of the playing fields in order to improve the surface drainage and grass growth making it suitable for events and users.

ASHES PLAYING FIELD TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Our Grants and Fund-Raising groups are busy planning future events for the enjoyment of the town and to assist in maintaining the park and driving our business development plans forward.
Our thanks once again go to Howden Town Council who provide essential funding aid which contributes towards the ever-increasing annual running costs of the Ashes. This maintenance funding is not available from other sources and is very much appreciated and essential.
The Ashes Trustees are extremely thankful to everyone who helps in any way to support the Trust moving into the future.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Income in the year totalled £61,246 (2023: £76,359). Expenditure for the year was £57,524 (2023: £53,226). The Trust continues to rely on the support of the Howden Town Council to support its expenditure.
The Charity reserves as at 31 March 2024 amounted to £644,022 (2023: £618,735) of which £481,595 (2023: £460,030) was in permanent endowment funds and £35,719 (2023: £35,719) was in restricted funds. Unrestricted funds consisted of designated funds of £82,635 (2023: £82,635) leaving free reserves of £44,073 (2023: £40,351). 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.
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.

ASHES PLAYING FIELD TRUST INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ASHES PLAYING FIELD TRUST
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 5 to 16.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT
As the charity’s trustees 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 charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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 Act.
Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the 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 (FRS 102) 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.
We understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S 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 charity 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.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General information
Ashes Playing Field Trust is an unincorporated charity, registered in the United Kingdom under the Charities Act 2011. The registered office is c/o Howden Town Council Offices, 17 Bridgegate, Howden, Goole, East Yorkshire, DN14 7AE.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant version of the 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 (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The 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 relevant version of the 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 (FRS 102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Ashes Playing Field Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
The charity, being small in size, has used the exemption provided by Charities SORP (FRS 102) under which it is not required to include a cash flow statement as part of the financial statements.
Income
Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income is generated through donations, grants and other sources.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fund accounting
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.
Going concern
The trustees have at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Plant and machinery – straight line over 5 years Land – not depreciated
Investments
Investments are stated at market value.
Realised/unrealised gains and losses on investments are included, together with income surpluses, within the Statement of Financial Activities.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash held in bank accounts. There are no short term investments.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their at their fair value as at the balance sheet date. All financial instruments of the charity are measured at cost.
Pensions
The Charity provides a defined contribution pension scheme, whereby the charity and its staff each fund the scheme, managed by a third party provider, the assets of which are held by the provider separately from the assets of the charity. The pension charge in the financial statements represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the period.
Corporation tax
The Charity is exempt from taxation in respect of income and capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to the charitable purposes.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Charity's accounting policies, which are described above, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The Trustees do not consider that there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty in the financial statements.
