The trustees present their Annual Report and Financial Statements of North Stainley Sport & Recreation Trust (The Trust) for the year ended 31[st] March 2023.

GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity is managed in accordance with its governing document, the Scheme, dated 4th December 2000.

The management of The Trust is the responsibility of the 12 Trustees, who are elected at the annual general meeting (6) or if required co-opted during the year under the terms of the Scheme, appointed by North Stainley Cricket Club (1), North Stainley Church Council (1) & North Stainley CE Primary School (1) and finally nominated by the North Stainley with Sleningford Parish Council (3) for a period of 4 years.

The Trust will implement a new Scheme, formerly approved on 1[st] November 2022, at the next Annual General Meeting. Under the new Scheme a Board of Trustees, 7 of whom are elected, and 5 of whom are appointed by North Stainley Cricket Club (1), North Stainley Church Council (1) & North Stainley CE Primary School (1), North Stainley Estate (1) and North Stainley with Sleningford Parish Council (1) will manage the Trust.

The Trust currently has 11 Trustees, with 1 vacancy. The Trustees are recruited by way of their wide range of expertise to enhance the decision making of the Trust.

The Trustees hold at least 4 ordinary meetings in each year (normal practice is 10-12 meetings) to discuss & agree the strategic direction of the charity and to monitor progress both financially and in terms of successful delivery of its objects.

OBJECTIVES

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relating to public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance.

The object of the charity is, in the interests of social welfare, the provision and maintenance of a village hall and recreation grounds for use by the inhabitants of the area of benefit without distinction of political, religious, or other opinions. The area of benefit is North Stainley with Sleningford and the surrounding neighbourhood.

North Stainley Sport & Recreation Trust Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31[st] March 2023

In furtherance of these objects, the charity also organises and subsidises events and groups throughout the year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The charity showed a net loss of £3,156 from the day to day running of the Trust, and further one-time expenditures of £45,034 including investments in the village assets £13,839, the Platinum Jubilee celebrations £8,691 and £21,837 in maintenance activities.

The two main sources of funding are the hire of the Village Hall facilities and rental income from the four flats situated above the Village Hall.

The Trustees are content that the Charity is operating on a stable level managing cash reserves whilst providing a valuable facility to the local residents. The policy regarding reserves is to retain sufficient reserves to meet the future maintenance costs of the Village Hall, Village Square, Jubilee Garden and Recreation Ground.

The Trustees therefore have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

The Trust are looking to increase income and subsequently grants and investment in the local community.
