Welcome
In all of my 24 years at BLGC, 2020/21 has been the most challenging yet and in some ways,
We started the financial year in Lockdown, having closed the Club earlier in March 2020. cted just how much of 2020 we would spend in a lockdown, and in particularly in Bolton, where the transmission of the virus was extremely high.
As a youth charity is open access, centre based opportunity engaging over 150 children and young people per session, we found the move to online provision quite difficult initially. We weren t ready or geared up but who was? I have to say though, hats off to my team who were absolutely amazing as we moved to a fully digitalised online youth club service for our junior, senior and inclusion members, seven days a week. This included health and fitness sessions, cookery sessions, arts and crafts, quizzes, developmental group work, sport, leisure, gaming and a whole host of other activities that we were able to innovatively deliver through digital means.
Of course, families who had a tablet or a laptop or smartphone could access those sessions really easily but for many of our young people equipment and indeed connectivity were a huge problem. I don't think we really knew until the pandemic just how many young people and their families were living in a what we would now call a digitally poor environment, in fact some of our staff didn't have access to Wi-Fi at home. hundreds of pieces of IT equipment to many many families.
In addition to our online offer the staff team and volunteers put together a fantastic programme of garden gate visits to ensure we kept in direct touch with some of our more vulnerable youngsters. We identified almost 500 that we were determined to It's fair to say that BLGC staff, for some families, were the only professionals that were calling on them during the pandemic, many other professionals did not have contact with some young people during this time. We hand delivered thousands of activity kits, creative kits, growing kits, clothes, food, hampers, warm meals and a whole host of other essentials not to mention carpets, fridges, bedding, beds and personal care items.
Running alongside the challenges of developing a fully online digital youth service programme, our targeted youth service team experienced a significant surge of referrals for young people requiring our support. The innovation, energy and focus of my colleagues across the teams here at the club was inspirational and it's something that I'll never forget, I'm so proud of the team and what they did, what they managed to achieve, putting young people, families and children at the heart of everything, and busting barriers to ensure nobody was left behind.
During the year, we were fortunate to secure a range of COVID-19 funding streams which helped enormously given the impact on some of our more traditional fundraising activities. Partnering with Barnardo's and their SEE HEAR RESPOND programme which was funded by the Department for Education was one of the highlights. This programme allowed us to reach young people quickly and be able to provide a range of therapeutic one to one and group sessions and also five nights a week place-based detached youth offer, throughout much of the pandemic.

G i r l s C l u b | A n n u a l R e p o r t & A c c o u n t s

We developed a number of new services specifically designed to meet the emerging needs of those adversely impacted by the pandemic, including our Diverse Voices programme, the Family Assist Service and Teams Around the School pilot.
As the famous quote says, out of the ashes rises the phoenix, that we have indeed had a phoenix rise, and by phoenix I mean the role of youth work ! One of the great things to come out of the last 12 months has been the recognition nationally of the compelling need for youth work and I certainly hope that given the importance that the role of youth work has for children and people across our country that there is significant investment in the years to come.
We had hoped to be able to deliver our Spa Road refurbishment programme during the year however finances and of course the pandemic put pay to that but I'm delighted to share with you that during 2021 and into 2022 we will be refurbishing our main centre in the heart of Bolton and will look forward to re-opening the centre in 2022, 20 years after its first opening.
I'd like to thank all of our supporters, funders and partners for continuing to work with us during what will have been a challenging year for them also. We've been very humbled by the continued support of the Bolton business community and delighted that they have been determined to find ways to support us during the most difficult of times. We owe you all a great deal of gratitude.
As we look ahead to the coming year we're excited about what the future holds. Hopefully we will be coming out of the pandemic and everything will be getting back to normal - whatever normal maybe!
Much love, best wishes
Karen D Edwards OBE Chief Executive Officer

LOOKING TO NEXT YEAR
Strategic Plan 2021/22
In 2022 we re-open our main centre in the heart of Bolton following a major £2m refurbishment programme. The lead up to the re-opening is a key time for the charity as we begin to develop our growth strategy. The year 2021/22 has five clear strategic aims to enable the charity to position itself for the next 10 years and to enable us to make an exciting step change and gear up for the implementation and execution of our new play and youth work curriculum.

| work. | |

Trading Subsidiary and Consolidation
The results of the trading subsidiary are shown in note 3 to the financial statements.
Reserves Policy
The Board of Trustees has established a reserves policy which appropriately reflects the risks to which the Charity is exposed. In compliance with such policy, it will review regularly both the sum it wishes to hold in unrestricted reserves and the basis for that figure. The reserves policy considers ongoing fixed costs, excludes variable costs and does not consider expenditure which is linked to restricted projects and therefore covered by restricted funds. The Board has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in fixed assets or
expended on core activities, which equates to approximately £800,000. At this level, the management committee feels that they would be able to continue the current core activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. This period would allow the Board to consider how the funding would be replaced or the activities changed.
The total funds at 31[st] March 2021 amounted to £7,919,372 of which £5,005,231 was restricted by the donors in their future use; a further £671,923 was invested in fixed assets for the use of the charity and £1,475,000 has been designated by the Board for specific projects. This leaves a balance of free reserves of £767,218. The Board will continue with their efforts to maintain the level of unrestricted funds at a minimum of 6 months core activity expenditure.
Going concern
The Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The ongoing impact of the pandemic has required the Charity to reassess its financial position and the ability to to continue as a going concern. Decisions were implemented early in the period to reduce react to the potential drop in funds during 2020/21 in consideration of a reduced workload across some organisational functions, as well as uncertainty around securing new income streams. The Trustees are pleased that this bold but critical move had a positive impact on the financial health of the Charity whilst allowing us to continue to deliver critical support and services for children, young people and families.

budget has been established in consideration of the ongoing impact of the pandemics (as far as possible), which provides supporting evidence on the going concern assessment .
Pay policy
employees (CEO and Senior Leadership Team) comprise the Key Management Personnel of the Charity. This group is in charge of directing, controlling, running and operating the Charity on a day-to-day basis. All Directors (Trustees) give of their time freely and no Director received remuneration in the year. The remuneration of the full staff team is reviewed annually by the Leadership Team, CEO and the Board of Trustees, if financial resources allow, generally increased in accordance with average earnings. Due to the uncertainty created by the Pandemic, no increase was awarded in the period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
Bolton Lads' and Girls' Club
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Bolton and Club and subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Fund Account and Statement of Net Assets 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
show a true and fair view of the financial transactions of the scheme during the year ended 31 March 2021, and of the amount and disposition at that date of its assets and liabilities, other than the liabilities to pay pensions and benefits after the end of the year;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
- contain the information specified in Regulation 3A of the Occupational Pension Schemes (Requirement to obtain Audited Accounts and a Statement from the Auditor) Regulations 1996, made under the Pensions Act 1995.
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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the scheme in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the 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 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 entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the responsibilities statement set out on page 13, the trustees 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 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 wind-up the scheme or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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 an report 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.
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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations we have considered the following:
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
-
The nature of the industry and sector of the principal employer,
-
Results of the enquiries of the scheme administrators about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
-
Any matters we have identified having obtained and reviewed the scheme's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
-
identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance;
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF Bolton Lads' and Girls' Club
Page 16
-
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the scheme for fraud and identified the greatest risk area as management override where we are required to perform specific procedures.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the scheme operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Pensions Act 1995.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.
Audit response to risks identified
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
-
reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
enquiring of the scheme administrators concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing correspondence ; and
-
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members including internal specialists, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the schemes controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
A further description of our responsibilities is located on the Financial Reporting website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1 General information
Bolton Lads & Girls Club is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee in the United Kingdom. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 4 of these financial statements. The charity's operations and principal activities are the provision of youth services through the operation of its youth centre.
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 accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, 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 as it applies from 1 January 2015.
2 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
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.
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
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 presented unless otherwise stated.
Consolidation
These financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly-owned subsidiary, B.L.G.C. Trading Company Limited on a line by line basis. All intra-group transactions are eliminated on consolidation. A separate Statement of Financial Activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charity itself is not presented because the charity has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by section 408(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Income recognition
All income is directly apportioned to the relevant category of income as disclosed on the face of the Statement of Financial Activities.
Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable, except for those grants which are for a specific future period, in which case the relevant amount is deferred to that period.
Income from investments is included in the Statement of Financial activities in the year in which it is receivable.
Other income is recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which it is receivable with the exception of fundraising events where income is recognised by reference to the event date.
Income is deferred on fundraising events where the actual event has not taken place as at the year end.
Legacies are recognised when the amount has been established with reasonable certainty.
Income is apportioned to the SoFA based upon the activities on which the income is derived.
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. Expenditure includes VAT which cannot be fully recovered, as the charity is not registered for VAT purposes, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
-
Expenditure on raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and service for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
-
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to the statutory audit and legal fees together with an apportionment of overheads and support costs.
-
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories in the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis eg. Floor area or estimated usage as set out in Note 10 to the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021
2 Accounting policies (continued)
Fixed asset investments
Investments are stated at market value, as at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains or losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The investments are held as a reserve fund and are not available for funding general overheads.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Computer equipment, equipment, and furniture and fittings purchases costing more than £500 have been capitalised and included at cost on the Balance Sheet as Tangible Fixed Assets. Any related grants are shown as restricted fixed asset funds which fund future depreciation of the assets.
Where parts of an item of tangible fixed assets have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of tangible fixed assets, for example land is treated separately from buildings.
The charity assesses at each reporting date whether tangible fixed assets are impaired.
Fixed assets are depreciated so as to write off cost or valuation, less anticipated residual value, over their anticipated useful lives, subject to annual review, as follows:
| Long leasehold property | 2 to 4% Straight line |
|---|---|
| Motor vehicles | 25% Reducing balance |
| Equipment, furniture and fittings | 10 to 20% Reducing balance |
| Computer equipment | 20% Straight line |
| Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed if there is an indication of a significant change since the last | |
| annual reporting date. |
Residual value is based on prices prevailing at the date of acquisition or subsequent valuation. Where, because of high estimated residual value, depreciation is immaterial, no depreciation is charged but an annual review for impairment is performed. Both residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial year end.
The carrying amounts of the charity's assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the fixed asset may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis.
Tax
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
Pension costs
The charity makes contributions to a superannuation scheme providing benefits for certain employees additional to those normally provided by the state. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the company to the superannuation fund in respect of the year.
The charity also makes contributions to a defined contribution group personal pension plan providing benefits for certain employees. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
Fund
Unrestricted funds comprise accumulated surpluses and deficits that are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. The fixed asset fund balance represents future depreciation of assets originally purchased using restricted funds and which the donor specified must be retained.
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021
2 Accounting policies (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with banks.
Trade and other creditors
Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
Going concern
The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.
