TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 1st January 2025. 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 £75514 from the social club, compared with £48588 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.

Cricket Club - Another good season with 1[st] team getting promotion to Notts premier League, well done to all involved in running the cricket club with 2 adult teams and a junior section. Many thanks to all at the cricket club who have helped during the season.

Bowls Club - Have had a good year, finishing in good positions in two leagues and winning Monday Night Cup. Our thanks go to Billy Orange Alan Derbyshire and the team for their hard work in keeping the green and surrounding areas in excellent condition.

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 £75514 from Clipstone Social Club Limited under the terms of occupational licence (2024: £48588). Overall the trust had net expenditure of £128119 in the year (2024 net income: £147387).

Reserves

The trust’s reserves at 1st January 2025 were £298986 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 Years

The planned move of all activities from lido ground 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 the team at NSDC and Welbeck Estates for their support with the colliery project and their help raising funding to bring our vision to reality.

Welfare building -

The Welfare building is being upgraded with phase1(Kerry suite) due to be completed February 2025, many thanks to Billy Orange, Dell Slaney, Dave waters, Ian Simpson, Amanda Hill, Mark Walkman and many more who all volunteered their time and skills to help to bring this project to fruition.

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.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 1st January 2025

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:

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 2025

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 Transfers between funds:

Where permitted, the release of restricted funds to unrestricted general or designated funds may be made at the conclusion of a restricted activity. General unrestricted funds may be transferred at the discretion of the trustees to assist in supporting a particular activity.

1.11 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 years 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 year 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.

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 2025 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.
