Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 30 September 2023 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. |
Objectives and activities |
| The objectives and aims of the charity are as follows; |
| - to provide community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for playing the sport of cricket ('facilities' being land, buildings and equipment). |
| - to promote the amateur sport of cricket by providing coaching and development opportunities within the sport for all within the community. |
| - to advance the physical education of children and young people through the provision of cricket coaching. |
| We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. |
Achievement and performance |
| Overall a very successful cricket season: |
| - the 1st XI were runners up in the premier league and beat Mayfield in the T20 final at the County Ground. |
| - the 2nd XI were promoted to Division 2 and are as high as they can achieve with the 1st XI in the Premier League. |
| - the 3rd XI and 4th XI both challenged for promotion. It was good to see younger players contributing in senior cricket and playing with style and with a smile on their faces. |
| - the Junior section is extremely well run and achieving the aim of improving cricketing and personal skills of all. Notable successes included the U12s, U14s and U16s winning their 2023 festival competitions, the U13s winning their league and the U14s and U15s finishing runners up. Both the U13s and U15s reached the semi-finals of the national ECB cup. The Girls section continues to go from strength to strength with some older girls playing in the women's team. |
| - The Women's section has grown and enjoyed a successful second season in competition, narrowly missing out in the cup competition. |
| The ground has had a makeover both inside and outside the boundary rope. The cricket squares are looking fantastic and it is hoped Sussex 2nd XI will return next season. A special thanks to our ground staff for making this happen.. |
| Finally a thank you to all volunteers, including the trustees, coaching staff, team managers and the unsung heroes behind the scenes that make Preston Nomads such a great place to watch and play cricket. |

Basis of preparing the financial statements |
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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006* and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. |
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. |
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| There are no significant judgements made in applying the accounting policies. There are no key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. |
Income |
All income is recognised in the statement of financial activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: |
Donations and gifts are included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. |
Grants relating to revenue are included in the statement of financial activities on a systematic basis over the periods in which the charity recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Where grants are received in respect of expenses or losses already incurred by the entity are recognised in the statement of financial activities in the period when the grant becomes receivable. |
Grants relating to capital are included in the statement of financial activities on a systematic basis over the useful economic life of the asset. Grants relating to assets which are deferred are recognised as a liability. |
Income from charitable trading activity is accounted for when earned. |

Expenditure |
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
Tangible fixed assets |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. |
Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Stocks are calculated on a first in, first out basis. |
Taxation |
| The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |
Fund accounting |
| Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. |
Donated services |
The contribution of unpaid general volunteers cannot be measured reliably. Therefore, the contribution of general volunteers is not included as income in the financial statements. |
Debtors and creditors due within one year |
| Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. |
