Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

Greater Manchester Sports Partnership (GreaterSport) is the Greater Manchester (GM) charity with a clear purpose to Change Lives Together through movement, physical activity and sport. We **lead, support and connect people and partners** across the system to develop and deliver on the whole system vision and approach to **GM Moving in Action** 

## **The objects of the Charity:** 

- a) To provide people in GM and surrounding neighbourhood with facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation, in the interest of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life of such persons without distinction on the grounds of race, gender, ethnic origin or disability; 

- b) To advance the mental and physical health of the community by providing facilities for sport and physical activity. 

## **Strategy** 

GreaterSport is one of 42 **Active Partnerships** ; a network across the country who work collaboratively to create the conditions for an active nation we have a unique and trusted strategic partnership with the GM Combined Authority, Health and Social Care Partnership, the 10 local authorities in GM and Sport England. We also work with Sport England to support the local implementation of the **Uniting the Movement Strategy** . 

In November 2021 GreaterSport launched its business plan 2021-23 which sets out our vision and purpose, our values and the way we work, who we are and what we do. It describes how the organisation supports people and partners across the system and outlines our value and contribution to GM Moving in Action. It provides an overview of our organisational priorities over the next 18 months. 

The GreaterSport business plan supports the wider ambition of GM Moving and demonstrates how we support the delivery of the GM Moving in Action strategy which was launched in September 2021. GM Moving in Action is the Greater Manchester strategy for physical activity. It is shaped and powered by GM Moving, our ‘movement for movement’ 

The GM Moving in Action strategy sets out what is needed to get people moving more by designing moving into everyday life. Helping people move a little more, making it easier to be active and a natural part of how we all live, travel, work and play in Greater Manchester 

GreaterSport leads, supports and connects people and partners across the system to develop and deliver on the whole system vision and approach to GM Moving in Action. 

## **Activities:** 

GreaterSport has committed to contributing towards the GM Moving and delivering GM Moving in Action commitments. Our organisational role in doing this is organised in the following ways:

## **2. Leading and Supporting Change**

## **How our activities deliver public benefit** 

The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit and the GreaterSport business plan remains the overall strategy for GreaterSport. Being active and moving more (which benefits an individual’s physical and mental wellbeing) is of great importance as communities continue their recovery from the regulations imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Inactivity is a stubborn partner and a challenge to shift. Doing less than 30 minutes of physical activity per week is a key cause of obesity and one of the top 10 causes of early deaths. Regular exercise can help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, which together costs Greater Manchester’s health services more than £26 million every year. 

Physical inactivity also costs our local economy £325m a year. 15 million days are lost due to sickness absences across the Northwest each year – with physically active workers taking far fewer sick days and work-based physical activity programmes helping to reduce absences. For individuals, doing 30 minutes of exercise three times a week has been calculated to increase average earnings by 7.5%. 

Increasing physical activity can also improve mental health, reducing stress and increasing selfesteem, strengthen friendships, family and community relationships, and improve our air quality and environment. 

Moving more can reduce rates of: 

- Breast cancer by 20% 

- Colon cancer, depression and dementia by 30% 

- Cardiovascular disease by up to 35% 

- Type 2 diabetes by up to 40% 

- Hip fractures by up to 68%. 

https://www.gmmoving.co.uk/data-and-learning/evidence-review-outcomes-associated-with-sportand-physical-activity 

Pre Covid-19, Greater Manchester (GM) physical activity rates were improving twice as fast as the national average, with inactivity reaching its lowest (26.2% in November 2018-19). However, Covid19 stalled that progress and led to greater increases in inactivity, with over a third of adults inactive at its peak (31.2% in November 2019-20). Since then, GM has started to show signs of faster recovery

## Report of the Management Committee 

## for the year ended 31[st] March 2022 

than national, but there is still some way to go to return to pre-pandemic levels of inactivity (29.7% in November 2020-21). 

Over one third (36.6%) of children and young people do less than 30 minutes a day (Academic Year 2020-21). Although this was at its lowest before the pandemic (31.9% in Academic Year 2018-19) the increases now appear to have plateaued. 

Within these figures, Covid-19 has seemingly widened the equality gap and there are some alarming challenges we need to address with a **priority on the inactive** individuals especially: 

- Those from lower socio-economic groups 41.9% compared to higher socio-economic groups 18.8%. 

- Those who identify as South Asian 41.9%, Black 34.6%, Other 31.9%, compared to those who identify as White British 27.9%. 

- With long term health conditions or disabilities 45.3% compared to 24.8% without. 

- Older adults aged 75+ years 52.2% compared to 24.1% 16-34 years. 

- Young people as over half (58.3%) of children are not achieving the Chief Medical Officer’s guidelines of on average 60 minutes of activity each day across the week. 

https://www.gmmoving.co.uk/data-and-learning/greater-manchester-adult-activity-levelsnovember-2020-21 

People in Greater Manchester want to get more active this has been evidenced through Health and Social Care Partnership insight: 

- Engagement through ‘Taking Charge’ showed that 55% of people in Greater Manchester do want to be more physically active (2016). 

## **Key Outcomes and Beneficiaries of our Services:** 

The outcomes of our work are aligned to contributing to the Governments policy priorities with a strong focus on the broader outcomes of activity: 

- Physical Wellbeing 

- Mental Wellbeing 

- Individual Development 

- Community Development

These outcomes are fundamentally measured through the national survey Active Lives and National Health data sets.

- Ensuring continued investment into communities to enable ongoing participation in sport and physical activity. 

These outcomes are measured through the national survey Active Lives and National Health data sets and are system indicators for change. GreaterSport sets out its priorities and plans each year to ensure our greatest possible contribution to progress. 

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes. 

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities focus on improving people’s health and wellbeing through increasing physical activity. GreaterSport is uniquely positioned to deliver scale & impact across GM. Our successes are a result of our strong team who lead, support and connect with partners across the system connecting the GM Moving strategy to delivery at a local level. 

The impact of the local and national lockdowns as a result of Covid-19 on active lives for all across GM has been considerable. Data from the latest national Active Live survey shows a significant decrease in inactivity levels with 39,000 less adults doing less than 30 minutes of physical activity a week from the survey 12 months ago. 


## **Key Successes** 

In 2021-22, GreaterSport reshaped its ‘delivery’ model aligning more closely to GM Moving in Action and establishing the priorities for the organisation through the GreaterSport business plan. The

Investment from our primary funders was secured. An agreement was signed with Sport England for a 5-year investment (2022-27) and we also secured investment from both GMCA and GMHSCP each for a duration of 1 year to March 2023. 

During 2021/22, Covid was still having an impact on our finances. The continued shift to a hybrid working model with staff working from home and partner organisations still not 100% back to face to face meetings meant that expenses such as meeting room hire and travel was less and generated underspend in our budgets. Our offices were also being refurbished during this period which meant a decrease in our rent (and this is likely to continue through to 2022/23). 

Income for the year 2021/22 was approximately £2.732M, compared to £2.498M in 2020/21 (9.4% increase). Sport England was GreaterSport’s largest funder, contributing £2.399M this year compared to £1.763M in the 2020/21. 

Expenditure for the year 2021/22 was approximately £2.967M, compared to £2.491M in 2020/21 (19 % increase). 

The total balance sheet equity was £1.628M in 2021/22, compared to £1.863M in 2020/21. As part of the Boards decision to reduce financial risks and also maximise investment income, the charity invested some of its reserves across the following banks: CAF Bank, Yorkshire Bank, Metro Bank & ShawBrook Bank.

## **Reserves policy** 

We hold reserves for the following purposes: 

- coverage of our operating expenses in the event of a downturn in income and / or unforeseen increases in costs 

- to meet the costs of unforeseen liabilities for employment or other legal claims not covered by insurance Trustees have maintained the reserve policy at six months’ salary and running costs. Trustees for this reason, have made a provision £502,736 in line with the charity’s reserve policy. It is expected that the six months’ salary and running costs will be designated beginning next financial year. 

## **Unrestricted, Restricted and Designated Funds** 

At 31 March 2022, we held unrestricted funds of £857K (2020/21 - £851K). The following is the breakdown of unrestricted reserve held at the end of the year; 

- £502,736 designated towards the six-month reserve policy

Restricted funds are those funds that have been received for particular purposes and projects. Total restricted fund balance as at 31st March 2022 was £771K (2020/21 £1.012M). The decreased restricted fund balance was mainly a result of additional projected spends for the year on the GM Moving Local Delivery Pilot programme. 

## **Plans for the future**

It describes how we support people and partners across the system and outlines our value and contribution to GM Moving in Action.

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation 

The management committee are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the management committee are aware: 

- There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware 

- ● The management committee have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information 

The management committee are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent auditors’ report 

## to the members of 

Greater Manchester Sports Partnership 

for the year ended 31[st] March 2022 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Greater Manchester Sports Partnership (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (including the income and expenditure account), the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes. 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: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **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 Auditor’s 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 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 trustees are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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. 

16 



## Independent auditors’ report 

## to the members of 

## Greater Manchester Sports Partnership 

## for the year ended 31[st] March 2022 

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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the trustees’ report (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report. 

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

- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 14, 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 

17 



## Independent auditors’ report 

## to the members of 

## Greater Manchester Sports Partnership 

## for the year ended 31[st] March 2022 

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. 

## **Auditor’s 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 an auditor’s 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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

- enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims. 

- enquiry of the charity's staff, management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

- reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

- reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

- auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business. 

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 is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-andguidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-foraudit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume

Greater Manchester Sports Partnership 

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **a Basis of preparation** 

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 (FRS 102), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

Greater Manchester Sports Partnership meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. 

## **b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 

## **c Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. 

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. 

23 



Greater Manchester Sports Partnership 

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued) 

## **d Donated services and facilities** 

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution. 

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

## **e Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. 

## **f Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. 

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity. 

## **g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering projects and courses undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

24 



Greater Manchester Sports Partnership 

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued) 

## **h Allocation of support costs** 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 8. 

## **i Operating leases** 

Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 

## **j Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £1,500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows: 

Equipment 25% 

## **k Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **l Current asset investments** 

Current asset investments include cash investments with a maturity of greater than three months from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **m Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **n Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

25 



Greater Manchester Sports Partnership 

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued) 

## **o Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **p Pensions** 

The charitable company is an admitted body of the Greater Manchester Pension Fund. 

The Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF) is a multi-employer defined benefit scheme administered for the benefit of Local Authorities and other bodies and is managed in accordance with the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 1997 (as amended). Past and present employees are covered by the provisions of the Greater Manchester Pension Scheme. 

The GMPF is a Career Average pension scheme and benefits are not dependent on investment performance. Employees who join the Fund build up a pension pot which is revalued each year in line with Consumer Price Index (CPI). If a member has GMPF membership before 1st April 2014 they will have accrued benefits based on membership and final pay in accordance with the previous Final Salary pension scheme. 

The trustees are unable to confirm the charity’s share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the Greater Manchester Pension Scheme as there is insufficient information available and therefore the Scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme. The Greater Manchester Pension Scheme provides that in the event that a single employer has individuals contributing to the scheme then any remaining liability for benefits payable under the scheme falls on that employer. Since the main participating employers are statutory bodies, the trustees consider it highly improbable that such a liability will ever fall to the  charity. 

The employer’s contributions made to the scheme in 2022 were £282,366 (2021: £276,634) with an employer’s contribution rate of 24.7% of pensionable pay. Employees' contribution rates are 5.8%, 6.5%, 6.8% or 8.5% depending on pensionable pay. 

The agreed employer contribution rates are as follows: 

|2019/20|24.4%|
|---|---|
|2020/21|24.7%|
|2021/22|25.1%|
|2022/23|25.4%|



The pension cost is assessed every three years in accordance with the advice of an independent qualified actuary. The latest actuarial valuation of the scheme was at 31 March 2019. 

Key elements in the valuation of the fund at 31 March 2019 were as follows: 

||£m|
|---|---|
|Past service liabilities|23,314|
|Assets|23,884|
|Surplus/(deficit)|529|
|Funding level|102%|

## **2 Legal status of the charity** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. 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 registered office address is disclosed on page 1.
