Malntenance

the facility and car park. Total spend throughout the year was £94,328. It Was decided that the pool painting
can be pushed back another year. So this will be completed prior to the 2024 season.
The Trustees recognise that for much of the Maintenan￿ antl ass¢xiated expendtture. the benefrt is hidden
away loften in the groundl, not dirertty impn)ving the visitor5 experience, but providinB an indirect benefit.
The Trustees are prudent in where financial resources are expended in each financial period to ensure the
continued successfvl operation of the Lido which is 88 years old. It is and will remain the a￿a of 8reatest long
term expenditure to ensure the facilities are maintained and improved over the k)ng term.
Envlronment
The TTU5t recognises that after salaries and repairs & maintenano, the single biggest expense are the utllities
especially followingthe exorbitant increases during 2022.
Sandford Parks Lido are delighted to announce that we have installed solar panels on the plant room roof and
have been operational since the summer of 2023. They have been fully funded by two very special
organisations. The lead funder ￿ Enovert Community Trust (Ecn. It distributes essential funds to support
communities and environmental projects through the Landfill Communities Fund. However to fulfil our
agreement with Enovert we had to find an independent 3rd party funder to pay I[￿ of the bill. Will Merritt,
a local businessman and Ildo lovercame to our rescue and will pay the remaining money required via local
business.
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.

Season ticket sales finished at £389,581 which was a record-breaking amount for our charity- Day ticket sales
achieved £415,267. which is an increase from our 2022 season.
Personnel costs were up on the previous year as the operat￿n 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& eS￿CIallY 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. The CEO will focus on developing the facility in line with the following key
principles which have been established following extensive stakeholder, Trustee and employee consultation.
Our aspiration5 for Sandford Parks Lido. The lido will remain the focal point of all that we do, but we will:
Enhance and dNersify our offering
Improve accessibiltty acro￿ the facility
Increase visitor numbers by o￿nIng longer
DelNer an all-year-round wellbeing experience
Reduce our reliance on carbon fuel
To fulfil our arnbrtions for the facility in terms of accessibility, sustainability, year-round operation5 and
maximtsing community engagement we will require substantial investment. To enable this investment, we
have been building cash reserves, this money will prove crucial to ensure the financial viability of our charity
and hopefvlty attrart additional grant funding opwjrtunities.
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 refUrb￿hment 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 charl￿5 energy and
chemical costs increase substantially.
When considering the Chartties ￿seNe5, the Trustees are mindful that in order of fulfil plans for future and
completin8 tasks contained within our facilities maintenance document, we need to raise significant sums

commissioned by the Trustees and completed by Alder King. In order to rnaintain the facilities over the next
25 years the Chartty is forecast to require £6 million in todaVs prices.
Investments
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity may invest funds not immediately required
in such investments. securrtie5 or property a5 the trustees see frt.
It is of the opinion of The Board of Trustees. that due to the cvrrent unpredictabllity of cash flows and
maintenance schedule, it is appropriate at present time to hold surplus cash in short to medium temi deposit
accounts.

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 a￿erThat￿e 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 Ir￿gUI3rrties. 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 consequen￿5 of non-
compliance could have a material effect on amountsdi5closed in the financial ststements, for instance through
the imposition of fines or litigation. We identif￿d 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 prO￿d￿re5 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.o￿uVaud1torSresp0n5ibilrties. This description forms part of our
Avditorfs Report.
