The Trust will continue to investigate ways of reducing our water and utility consumption. as well as looking for green sources of energy wtth a number of projects being considered.

Personnel costs were up on the previous year as the operatn was at full capacty. Due to the national minimum wage increase we had to review t*)th seasonal and permanent staff salarie5. Fundin Source5 The Trust is extremely proud to be self-financin& eSCIallY given the primary source of income of the Trust is heavily weather dependent. The management of finance5 Within the business is inherently drfficult against a cost base which is largely fixed and has an extensive maintenance requirement. As such the Trust has built business model which helps mitigate this risk by offering season tickets for the season and innovatwe events to provide certainty over income. Our current lease runs until 2056 which enables our organisation to kiok forcapital investmentgrants to as51St with our future plans for the lido.

ReseNes The Trustees have established a general seNe$ policy to ensure the chartty can wfchstand prolonged poor weather conditions that could affert the level of income generated. The Trustees believe a reseNe equivalent to two months. income during the season to be appropriate. This equates to a resetve of the order of £ioo,ow. Reserves are aL%o held to ensure we can coverthe cost of pjssible emergency repairs to the swimming w>ols, buildings or engineering equipment and major pwl refurbishment work. The Trustees allocated £3(M).O to ensure that sufficient funds exist at the time a Ma)r pool refUrbhment is necessary. A reserve was also held to the sum of £80.(KKJ to facilitate a development plan. Further reserves of £2(KI.C) have been created for financial protection should the charl5 energy and chemical costs increase substantially.

Sandrord tido Lirnited Consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2023 In preparing the financial ststements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's abiltty to continue as a going concern, disc105in& as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going conceTn basis of accounting unless the trustees etther intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic aerThate but to do so. Audltorfs responsibilities forthe audit of the financlal statements Our objectNe5 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 Auditorfs Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of a55urance, but is not a guarantee that an audit tonducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detert a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material rf, indNidualty or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to Influen the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting IrgUI3rrties. including fraud is detailed below: We identrfied areas of law and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effett on the financial statements from- our charty and sector experience: our accountancy and tax knowledge: inspection of the charitable company's relevant corresKN)ndence- a review of Cornpanies House and Charty Commission filing5: and discussions with management and the Trustees. We discussed laws and re8ulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indication of non-compliance throughout the audit. The potential effect of the law and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably. Firstly, the charitable company's is subject to laws and gUlationS that direttly affect the financlal statements including financial reporting legislation and tax legislation. We asse55ed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. Second, the charitable company's is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequen5 of non- compliance could have a material effect on amountsdi5closed in the financial ststements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identifd the following areas as those most likely to have such an effert: health and safety, and employment laws and regulations, recognising the nature of the charitable company's activities. Auditing standards limtt the required audit prOdre5 to identify non-compliance with these law5 and regulations to enquiries of management. and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, rf any. These limited procedu$ did not identify actual or suspeLted non-compliance. Due to the inherent limitations of an audtt. there s an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements. even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. As with any audit. there remained a higher risk of non- detection of irregularities. as these may involve collusion. forgery, intentional omissions. misrepresentations, or the override of intemal contmls. We are not reswnsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detert non-compliance with all Laws and regulations. A further description of our responsibilities forthe audit of thefinancial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at Www.frc.ouVaud1torSresp0n5ibilrties.
