TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 1st January 2023. The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities".
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 in October 2019.
Objectives and Activities
The trustees will keep working with and supporting all our sub committee’s and will continue to apply for grants where possible to support and improve our charity, but in the current financial climate this continues to be increasingly difficult to achieve.
Our thanks go out to all the members and staff of Clipstone Social Club without their support the charity would not be able to carry on supporting the following activities: bowls club, cricket club, football club (senior and junior), friendship club and youth club, British legion and many more.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Achievement and Performance
The main income for the trust is money received from donations and grants particular thanks to Clipstone Parish Council and Clipstone Social Club. During this year the trust received £48588 from the social club, compared with £57589 the previous year.
Risk Policy
The trustees are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the trust. Detailed considerations of risk are identified, assessed and control established throughout the year. A formal review of the trust’s risk management processes is undertaken on an annual basis. Through the risk management process established by the trust, the trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
Activities Contributing to the Achievement of Objectives
Clipstone Welfare Colts - Currently running 23 teams including 4 girls’ teams and development group which continue to be well attended and looks promising for future. A big thank you to Paul and Anne Griffiths and all the colts committee and helpers who are doing a great job for our youngsters.
Senior Football - First team play in Midlands County Central league: many thanks to members of the committee, our sponsors and Ian Cotton, his management team and players who are performing well on the pitch.
Many thanks to Kev Reader, his management team and players who are doing a great job with our development team.
Cricket Club - Another good season, well done to all involved in running the cricket club with 2 adult teams and a junior section. Many thanks to Robbie Sprigg and all at the cricket club who have helped during the season.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT – (continued)
Activities Contributing to the Achievement of Objectives (continued)
Bowls Club - Have had a good year, finishing in good positions in two leagues. Our thanks go to Billy Orange and his team for their hard work in keeping the green and surrounding areas in excellent condition.
Friendship Club – Still going strong and increasing numbers. Our thanks go to Barbara, Lynne and their team for all their hard work.
Youth Club - The youth club is going from strength to strength with an average of 80 plus using the club most days when open, many thanks to Amanda Hill and her staff for the great job they continue to do for our youngsters.
Financial Review
The principal income of the trust is by the way of monies received from Clipstone Social Club Limited. During the year the trust received the sum of £48588 from Clipstone Social Club Limited under the terms of occupational licence (2023: £57,589). Overall the trust had net income over expenditure of £148581 in the year (2023 net income: £7375).
Reserves
The trust’s reserves at 1st January 2024 were £427105 and are held to facilitate the continued upgrading of the trust's facilities.
The level of total reserves is judged appropriate for the present situation and needs of the trust.
The trustees will review this position and policy on an annual basis.
Plans for Future Periods
The planned move of all activities from lido ground and middle pitch to ex-colliery site is progressing at pace and we expect positive actions in obtaining land swap agreement and planning in next financial year, which will enable us to expand available playing space with new clubhouse, artificial pitch etc to improve and futureproof activities for long term future. Many thanks to Scott Carlton and the team at NSDC for their support with the colliery project and their help raising funding to bring our vision to reality.
Welfare building -
The Welfare building is currently unused and will be converted into a Community Hub. A grant of £58,000 was received from NSDC 106 Funds and work is to commence on phase 1 in mid-2024 and planned to be complete by the end of 2024.
Parish councilors decided not to go ahead with leasing of right section of institute which was very disappointing but we will now look at refurbishing and creating a community hub with other local partners.
Structure, Governance and Management
Under the power given in the Charities Act 1993 as of the 1st September 2006 Clipstone Miners Welfare Trust became known as Clipstone Miners Welfare Community Trust and is a registered charity regulated by a scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 1st September 2006 charity no (525041).
The Trustee`s would like to thank all members of our sub-groups who having been made aware of the difficult financial position the charity is in, have all rallied around to help where possible to minimise cost to charity by providing money for utilities, volunteer hours and in some cases materials, it is only down to these community spirited people that we are able to continue to provide all our facilities.

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the 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 & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial 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 these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures 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 operation.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

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’).

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 1st January 2024
1.1 Summary of significant accounting policies
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS 102) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years unless otherwise stated.
1.2 Basis of accounting
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.
1.3 Cashflow
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in the Charities SORP from the requirement to produce a cashflow statement, on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.
1.4 Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when it is receivable with the exception of gifts and donations which are recognised when they are received.
1.5 Expenses
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
-
Charitable expenditure comprises those incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and its services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Expenditure on grants is recorded once the charity has made an unconditional commitment to pay the grant and this is communicated to the beneficiary or the grant has been paid whichever is the earlier. The charity has not made any grant commitments of more than one year.
-
Governance costs include costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the examiners fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
1.6 Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Freehold land is stated at cost. No depreciation is provided on freehold land. All other fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.
Depreciation is provided by the charity to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:-
Alterations and refurbishment 15% straight line/10% reducing balance Furniture and equipment 25% reducing balance/10% reducing balance Tractors and implements 25% reducing balance Computer equipment 25% straight line Ground improvements 5% and 10% straight line

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 1st January 2024
1.7 Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.
1.8 Restricted Funds
Grants receivable for specific projects whether used to purchase fixed assets or expended on items of a revenue nature are classified as restricted funds.
Restricted funds used to purchase fixed assets are reduced over the useful economic life of the assets purchased in line with depreciation.
1.9 Unrestricted Funds
These are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
1.10 Government Grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised using the accrual model and the performance model. Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable.
Grants relating to assets are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income and not deducted from the carrying amount of the asset.
Under the performance model, where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

The Grounds Fund represents grant income for grounds improvements included in fixed assets. This fund is reduced over the life of the assets purchased in line with depreciation.
The CCTV System Fund represents contributions received towards the cost and installation of the new system and is reduced over its life in line with depreciation.
The Sports Park Fund represents contributions received for the provision of the activity park. The fund is reduced over the life of the assets purchased in line with depreciation.
The Youth Club received funding from the Parish Council which due to Covid has not been fully utilised and is being carried forward.
The kitchen refurbishment included in fixed assets is being reduced over the life of the assets in line with depreciation.
Building alterations have taken place supported by local authority S106 monies to split the welfare facility to enable it to provide additional uses for the community. The fixed assets included in the refurbishment are being reduced over the life of the assets in line with depreciation.
The Together Project was in deficit at the year end and represents expenditure connected with the planned improvement in the sports facilities, for which funding of £25,000 has been received from CISWO by way of a loan to facilitate the project. This loan is shown as a long-term liability as it is not subject to any set repayment terms, other than ultimately to be repaid out of the proceeds of the disposal of certain property assets which will be realised as part of this planned improvement project. This fund stood as a negative balance at the 1st January 2024 due to the timing of expenditure on professional fees which have necessarily been incurred prior to the development and which have been funded from the CISWO loan.
Colliery Sport Project - Colliery site planning submitted in October 2023 awaiting decision. Lido site planning application submitted by Welbeck estates in November 2023 awaiting decision. Once both are approved the land swap contracts will need to be agreed, finalised and executed (subject to approvals)
Community Hub work to start in mid-2024 with the view to complete phase 1 by the end of 2024, grant applications are being sorted to allow rest of this project to be completed.
