Basingstoke Gymnastic Club (Registered number: 02866118)

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2025

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 31 August 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective | January 2019).

The Trustees have had due regard to the guidance published by the Charities Commission on Public Benefit. Specifically, the Trustees have operated the charity with due regard to increasing costs and ensuring that any fee increases have been measured so as to ensure the sustainable operation of the club whilst balancing the objectives noted below. Further detail on this is found later in the document, as are the club's objective and activities.

The Report of the Trustees also forms part of the Directors’ Report.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

The objectives of the charity are:

1) to advance the education of pre-school children, children, teenagers and adults especially those with special needs by organising, or assisting in the organisation of, the provision of a facility which will enable and encourage such children to participate in gymnastics.

2) to assist in ensuring that due attention is given to the physical education and development of such children and adults and,

3) to the development and occupation of such children's and adults’ minds with a view to furthering these objects.

Our strategic pursuits extend beyond these objectives, aiming to fortify the Club's foundation and provide a secure environment for our dedicated staff. Additionally, we aspire to foster heightened community engagement in sports, contributing to a more active and healthier local populace. Simultaneously, we are resolute in our commitment to collaborate with the local community and council to achieve targets related to borough members. This involves addressing prevalent challenges such as youth obesity and mental health, aligning our efforts with broader societal goals. Our dedication to making a positive impact extends far beyond the boundaries of our organization, reflecting our commitment to enhancing the well-being of the community at large.

Objectives for the year

The main objective of the year was to operate under more 'normalised' circumstances with continued improvement of the day-to-day operations of the Club, making progress towards the Club's reserves targets, and stating the project of looking more strategically at the Club's future direction. In our last report we noted that the main objective was to finalise the implementation of the strategic changes to the pathways, and we are pleased to report that this initiative has been a success across metrics. Further detail on this is found below and in the Club's end-of-year report.

Social investments

The Trustees have due regard to guidance published by the charities commission on public benefit. Our principal source of income is through receipt of fees paid by members for coaching and classes. These are calculated to cover the carefully managed costs of the Club with a small surplus. Fees are graduated in rate per hour costs from £2.66 to £14. The fee model adopted places the highest cost per hour on those who attend for one hour per week for general gymnastics. The rate per hour is deliberately tapered with each additional hour's attendance to allow those who train for the longest hours to continue to participate mindful of affordability.

Through the year, changes to employer national insurance contributions had a strong effect given the majority of the Club's costs relate to wages. As noted before, the Club has implemented a 5-year budgeting process to facilitate effective management. The Trustees are pleased to report that the Club is trading effectively to these budgets to date.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievements and performance

Charitable activities

Our purpose as a sports charity is to provide a suitable environment for the participation and?enjoyment of gymnastics, trampolining and freestyle gymnastics, primarily, but not exclusively, to children under 16.

At a glance, achievements across the year included:

Fundraising activities

Our membership and fees cover the day-to-day running costs, coach education, maintenance and successful operation of Basingstoke Gymnastic Club Ltd.

In order to further upgrade equipment, support high performance gymnasts in international training and competition, invest in high performance coach education and invest in specialist equipment, we have to rely on additional fundraising activities. Across the year, fundraising achieved sat at >£70,000.

Given the wider economic environment, institutional fundraising across the period remained challenging. A key pillar of the strategy works planned include the development of a fundraising framework that is efficacious at both the grassroots level but also at the institutional level.

STRATEGIC REPORT Achievements and performance Key performance indicators Membership Growth & Retention Rates

The club measures the number of new members joining the club over varying periods. This indicates the club's popularity and its ability to attract new participants. We track the percentage of members who continue their membership or renew their subscriptions. A high retention rate signifies member satisfaction and loyalty and retention rates are strong across all disciplines.

Financial Performance

The club tracks the club's financial indicators, such as revenue, expenses, and profitability. This includes monitoring income from memberships, competition fees, sponsorships and other revenue streams.

Facility Utilization

The club measures the utilization of the gym facility by monitoring the number of classes, training hours or rentals. This helps to assess the efficiency of facility management and identify opportunities for optimization. Facility utilization is a core focus and the club operates on average at >95% capacity when open.

Volunteer Engagement

The club evaluates the level of volunteer participation and engagement within the club. This includes measuring the number of volunteers, their hours contributed and the impact they have on club activities and events.

Community Outreach

The club monitors our involvement in community outreach programs, such as hosting workshops, organizing events for underprivileged children, or partnering with schools. This can reflect the club's commitment to social responsibility and its impact on the local community.

Annual performance

We measure our performance and success via a number of indicators. These indicators include membership growth and retention rates, financial performance, facility utilization, volunteer engagement, and community outreach.

Across the period, membership across the Club grew marginally to 2,087 monthly members. Within the recreational disciplines membership fell slightly from 1,191 to 1,129. This fall in recreational disciplines was majority caused by the increase in the competitive tier within the Club, which increased from 310 to 360. The elite tier of participants remained stable at 97 participants.

Across the year, over 2,300 badges were awarded across recreational disciplines. Within the competitive pathway, the Club saw increased awards and participation across competitions, whilst at the elite level, 346 podium finishes were achieved, with 182 at regional level and 45 at the national level. Across elite disciplines the Club has 19 participants that represent their nation, 15 of whom represent Great Britain. Volunteer engagement continued to improve significantly over the year which was very pleasing and the Club are thankful for the contributions of these volunteers.

Finally, noting the above successes, the Club also recognises areas for future improvement. Whilst the feedback from the parent survey was positive across most of the areas canvassed, a clear area for improvement for the Club is communication. The Management and Trustees have taken on this feedback and have made both ‘quick win! improvements as well as holding improved communication at the core of the strategic work the Club is undertaking.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Financial review

Financial position

Full details of the club's financial position are provided below.

Club Total Capital and Reserves: £215,786 (2024: £59,897) Club Cash at Hand: £257,638 (2024: £179,939) Year End Surplus: £155,889 (2024: £57,095)

The Trustees are pleased to say that the 24/25 year saw the Club generate a modest surplus which will be used to restore member reserve funds and from which we plan to build continued financial stability. Focus looking ahead remains on developing the Club's reserves whilst balancing the other draws on funds (e.g. operating costs, improvements etc.). The long-term target is for the Club to hold 3 months' reserves. The Trustees are pleased to report that the Club has successfully met its shorter-term goal of achieving | month's reserves within the 24/25 year.

Reserves policy

The Club's reserves policy is to hold free reserves equivalent to 3 months' operating costs (currently estimated at approximately £333,000). Free reserves are defined as unrestricted funds excluding amounts designated for specific purposes.

At the balance sheet date, total unrestricted funds were £215,786 (comprising a general fund balance of -£348,130, £486,416 designated for equipment replacement, and £77,500 designated for building works). Free reserves were therefore negative at -£348,130.

The nature of the designated funds can be found within note 24 in the notes to the financial statements.

As mentioned within the review of the financial position, the Club is committed to developing the Club's reserves with an aim of producing an annual surplus whilst finding a balance with operating costs and improvements which will continue to enable a service ot be delivered inline with the Charity's main aims and objectives.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2025

STRATEGIC REPORT

Potential economic factors

The financial well-being and sustainability of a gymnastics club are subject to several factors. Key considerations include the impact of membership fees and revenue streams, facility costs such as rent and maintenance, competition and pricing strategies, staffing expenses for coaches and administrative personnel, equipment maintenance and upgrades, prudent investment in marketing, insurance costs for liability and property coverage, financial planning for events and competitions, sensitivity to economic conditions affecting disposable income, adherence to government regulations and pursuit of grants, as well as the careful management of technology and software costs for administrative purposes. Balancing these aspects is crucial for maintaining the club's financial stability and success.

Risk management framework

Within our risk management framework, the Club has implemented an operational risk matrix to systematically monitor and assess potential risks. This matrix functions as a valuable tool for classifying risks based on their likelihood and impact, enabling us to efficiently prioritize and allocate resources.

Additionally, we have established robust systems and procedures to effectively manage identified risks. Our risk management protocols are crafted to mitigate, monitor and respond to potential challenges, thereby bolstering our resilience and minimizing the impact on our operations.

We are reviewing and updating our risk management strategies at the Board to align with the evolving landscape. Continuous improvement remains a primary focus, and we actively seek feedback and insights to enhance our approach in addressing emerging risks.

Our commitment to organizational excellence is underscored by the implementation of regular audits, which meticulously assess the performance of both the management team and the overall Club. These comprehensive audits are owned by the Trustees and structured to evaluate various essential facets, encompassing Human Resources, Operational efficiency, financial practices, Health and Safety protocols, Welfare (specifically safeguarding measures) and governance frameworks. The Human Resources audit delves into personnel management, training, and development, ensuring a well-supported and capable workforce. Operational audits focus on the efficiency and efficacy of our day-to-day activities, seeking areas for streamlining and improvement.

Financial audits are crucial for maintaining fiscal responsibility and transparency, scrutinizing financial practices and reporting to uphold the highest standards of financial integrity. Health and Safety audits are paramount in guaranteeing the well-being of all stakeholders, examining safety protocols and compliance with regulations. The Welfare or safeguarding audit prioritizes the protection and welfare of individuals involved with the Club, ensuring a secure environment for all.

Lastly, governance audits aim to assess and strengthen our governance structures, ensuring alignment with legal and ethical standards while promoting accountability and strategic decision-making. Through these meticulous examinations, we demonstrate our unwavering dedication to maintaining a high standard of operational excellence and ethical conduct within our organization. In conducting audits within these key areas, we strive to not only ensure the current effectiveness of our systems but also to identify opportunities for enhancement and adherence to best practices. Across the year, an audit was completed across each area, with improvements and enhancements made.

These audits have been structured to strike a balance between ensuring information is understood and checked to ensure the responsibilities of the Trustees is fulfilled, with the recognition that the Trustees remain non-executive and the executive team have day-to-day responsibility for the Club's operation.

Across the year, limited to no Audit points from the 23/24 year remained outstanding upon completion of the 24/25 audits.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Basingstoke Gymnastic Club

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Basingstoke Gymnastic Club (the 'charitable company’) for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period ofat least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

Page 9

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Basingstoke Gymnastic Club

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light ofthe knowledge and understanding ofthe charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of[financial][statements][that][are][free][from][material][misstatement,][whether][due][to][fraud][or][error.]

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 10

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Basingstoke Gymnastic Club

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud was as follows:

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to involve the completeness and timing of income recognition and the override of controls by management.

To address the risk of fraud in relation to revenue recognition, we:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override ofcontrols, we:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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) (effective 1 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on the Directors’ best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results ultimately differ from these estimates. The Directors do not consider there to be any material estimates and judgements.

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.

Long leasehold - 5%on cost Improvements to property - 10% on cost Plant and machinery - 20% on cost Fixtures and fittings ~ 20% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost

It is the charity's policy to capitalise expenditure greater than £1,000 on gymnastic equipment and fixtures and fittings and computer equipment greater than £500. Amounts smaller than that are charged to resources expended in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Stocks

The designated equipment replacement fund is a provision for the future replacement of larger gym equipment. Equipment may be replaced in line with the life expectancy per the manufacturer's guidance, however the condition of gym equipment is assessed for its safety by a third party, at a minimum, annually and sometimes replaced based on this guidance.

The designated building fund is a wider reserve that is a provision to cover larger repairs and maintenance around the premises. These larger repairs would be expected to be significant but occur only every 15+ years.
