THE PANATHLON FOUNDATION LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03437923)

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance Charitable activities

A summary statement on the year interrupted by school closures due to the Covid Pandemic.

For over twenty years the Panathlon Foundation have grown in size and impact every year and have benefitted tens of thousands of children with disabilities and special needs. We were on track once again this year to break our records and involve over 25,000 young people in 500+ competitions in 43 counties in England and North Wales.

This was exemplified by our busiest day ever in over 20 years of Panathlon history when on the 12th March 2020, we delivered 9 separate sports competitions in different locations across the country involving 487 children with special educational needs / disabilities (SEND) and a further 150 Young Leaders all in one day. However this year's COVID-19 lockdown took hold the following week and subsequently with schools closing, this meant that the March to July period of fixtures were unable to be completed.

Despite the curtailed year, over 15,000 children with disabilities and special educational needs were able to benefit and an additional 3,500+ young leaders were involved in 43 counties of England and North Wales. An amazing 293 events were delivered this year - enjoyed by the 1,185 schools that benefitted.

The COVID situation has meant that around 200 events were cancelled which resulted in a further 10,000 estimated young people between March and the end of term in July, sadly being denied the opportunity to participate. This was a great shame as many children had been qualifying for county wide and regional finals.

In Summary some of the highlights of this curtailed year -

1 Charitable Income of £718,825 this is down on last year (£833,466) due to the Covid crisis.

2 Record day of activity on March 12th, when we delivered 9 events on one day, with 487 competitors and 150 Young Leaders involved.

3 Competitors by March 13th when national lockdown occurred, totalled 15,091.The total projected number if approx 100 events had not been cancelled for the next 5 months, would have totalled at least 24,000+.

4 Likewise we were well on track of involving a record numbers of Young Leaders had the year had not been curtailed several months early. We had involved 3,612 leaders to March 13th and were expecting approximately 5,000 by the end of the year had we not had to cancel nearly 200 events planned.

  1. We had delivered 293 event days pre national lockdown.

  2. Twenty-eight swimming competitions delivered with over 1,280 competitors.

  3. Primary Panathlon continued growth and was on course for record activity with 93 competitions already delivered involving 5,346 children already, with several months-worth of activity still planned prior to schools being closed.

  4. Fifty-four Secondary and X-tend events were delivered up to March enjoyed by 2,579 students.

  5. There was an additional 122 sporting competitions, coaching days, award ceremonies etc throughout the year benefitting 5,796 young people.

  6. The number of schools involved was already at 1,185 prior to national lockdown and closure of schools.

  7. We still managed to deliver 6 National Finals at either the Olympic Park or Stoke Mandeville stadium (birthplace of the Paralympics) as the culmination of both primary and aquatic programmes, involving 430 competitors. This included for the first time a national final for special schools in our Primary Panathlon programme.

  8. Despite the curtailed year of delivery due to schools closure through national lockdown, Panathlon still involved schools from 43 counties in England and North Wales

Plans were put in place before the year end August 2020 to re-configure Panathlon delivery for the following academic year 2021/21.

Schools involved, plots the growth from 280 schools involved in Panathlon in 2013, through to 1,185 in 2019.

Fundraising activities

In addition, the charity has received long term support from the Jack Petchey Foundation and St. James's Place Charitable Foundation, both of which have enabled the charity to provide extensive additional opportunities. Further longer term support has also been provided from the Woodland Group who have provided funds since 2011. Total support received during the year: Jack Petchey Foundation £128,350, St. James's Place Charitable Foundation £240,000 and Woodland Group £15,000.

These can be seen in full on page 15.

Financial review

Financial position

The statement of financial activities for the year ended 31 August 2020 and the balance sheet as at 31 August 2020 are set out on pages 9 and 10. The statement of financial activities shows that the charity had net a deficit of £12.241 in the year ended 31 August 2020 (2019: net profit of £44,761).

Income

The charity income is made up of income from donations, investment income and other income. Total income in the year was £718, 825, which is 14% lower than the previous year (2019: £833,466).

The negative variance is attributable to donations received, as 2019 was an exceptional year in terms of major and minor donors respectively. As mentioned under the "achievement and performance" section, the COVID situation affected the activities of the charity, not least of which hampered the charity's ability to reach out to potential donors.

Investment income for the year was £1,467 (2019: £3,395). The negative variance is attributable to lower interest rates during the comparable year.

Other income of £39,230 (2019: £nil) was grant income derived from the government job retention scheme.

Expenditure

The charity expenditure is made up of raising funds and charitable activities.

Total expenditure in the year was £731,066, which is 7% lower than the previous year (2019: £788,705).

The variance is mainly due to a decrease in games costs included within charitable activities. As mentioned under the "achievement and performance" section, the COVID situation affected the charity's ability to run events, resulting in 200 events been cancelled.

Reserves policy

The charity's policy is to build reserves up to the equivalent value of six months expenditure and currently has reserves amounting to £276,923 (2019: £289,164). Included within total reserves are unrestricted funds amounting to £186,119 (2019: £127,609) and restricted funds £90,804 (2019: £161,555). Restricted reserves must be spent on the Panathlon Challenge event. Unrestricted reserves have been accrued from funds which have been donated without any restriction. Unrestricted funds are funds which the trustees consider necessary to sustain the working capital requirements of Panathlon Challenge and the charity and that at this level the charity would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

STRATEGIC REPORT

Financial and risk management objectives and policies

The trustees are responsible for ensuring that effective and adequate risk management and internal control systems are in place to manage the major risks to which the charity is exposed.

The trustees regularly assess the major risks to which the charity is faced with particular emphasis put on those risks concerning children. The trustees consider that the charity has sufficient controls for an organisation of this size and are confident that controls are in place to monitor and minimise major risks. The controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance, against material misstatement or loss arising from major risks.

Future plans

The Panathlon Foundation have approved a strategic plan for the year ahead through the turbulent times of the Covid Pandemic. This is a one year 'recovery plan' with sufficient income in place to enable a 'back to activity' plan from Sept 2020 to August 2021. This also sees the partnership with from St. James's Place Charitable Foundation extended this year to August 2021 to a maximum of £375,000 income ring-fenced. The longer term plan involves growing to all 46 English Counties by 2022 and involving over 25,000 young people during this period. Discussions are underway with St. James's Place Charitable Foundation about extending the partnership beyond 2021. Despite use of a small proportion of the charities reserves in 2019/20 the Trustees are comforted that the deficit was less than anticipated and are committed to benefitting the young people targeted by the charity who require our help, and use of reserves in this matter was wholly right and proper. The charity intends to add to reserves in the year ahead in line with our overall reserves policy.

The financial statements contain information about The Panathlon Foundation Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The charity is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Under the Charities Act 2011 and Charities Act 2011 (Group Accounts) Regulations 2015, a parent charity must prepare consolidated accounts including all its subsidiary undertakings where their preparation is either a requirement of company law or where the gross income of the group after consolidation adjustments, the parent charity and its subsidiary undertakings together, exceeds the threshold set by the regulations, currently £1,000,000. The Board of Trustees consider there is no statutory requirement to prepare group accounts and the results of the subsidiary undertaking are excluded from these financial statements.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing these financial statements, the Board of Trustees have made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the charity’s accounting policies and the reported assets, liabilities, income and expenditure and the disclosures made in the financial statements. 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. The key areas that are deemed to be material for these financial statements is as follows:

Income recognition

An appropriate proportion of income, sufficient to cover future costs, is deferred to future periods when the charity has obligations extending to future periods. As a result, judgement is required in assessing the extent and associated costs of fulfilling those future obligations. The charity uses historical experience and forecast activity levels in determining the appropriate amount of income to recognise in the current period and how much to defer to future periods.

Allocation of support costs

Allocation of support costs involves an appropriate proportion of staff time and estimated costs. As a result, judgement is required in assessing the extent of staff time and associated costs. The charity uses historical experience and forecast activity levels in determining the appropriate amounts to be allocated.

Volunteers

The value of the contribution of the thousands of hours donated by its unpaid volunteers has not been reflected in these accounts. The SORP does not permit the accounting for such contributions due to the inherent uncertainty in applying an accurate and reliable financial measurement in accordance with the SORP.

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 received in advance of a service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. Income arises in the United Kingdom.

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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Income

Gifts in kind are valued at estimated value to the charity. They are included in the charity's financial statements if the estimated value is in excess of £500.

Interest receivable 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.

Unrestricted charitable donations are recognised in the financial statements when the charitable donation has been received, or if, before receipt, there is sufficient evidence to provide the necessary certainty that the donation will be received and the value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donated professional services and 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), the general volunteer time is not recognised. On receipt, donated professional services and 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.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. A further analysis of this expenditure is given in the notes to the financial statements.

Support costs, which include general management, payroll administration, budgeting and accounting, information technology, and human resources, are apportioned based on the estimated amount of time spent by the support area on each activity category.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The charity only capitalises items costing more than £200.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Computer equipment - 3 years

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in Statement of Financial Activities.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments

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.

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.

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.

Taxation

The charity is an institution within the meaning of the Charities Act 2011 and as such is a charity within the meaning of Section 506(1) of the Taxes Act 1988. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains within categories covered by Section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. The charity receives no similar exemption in respect of Value Added Tax.

The charity is an institution which is established for charitable purposes within the meaning of the Charities Act 2011 and as such is a charity within the meaning of Para 1 of Schedule 6 to the Finance Act 2010. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Sections 478-488 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (formerly enacted in Section 505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988) or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied to exclusively charitable purposes. The charity receives no similar exemption in respect of Value Added Tax. For this reason, the charity is generally unable to recover input VAT it suffers on goods and services purchased. The charity is not registered for VAT, as the trustees consider the charity's sources of income are exempt from VAT. VAT is included within the attributable cost under resources expended.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated and can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Designated funds are included within unrestricted funds and are earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.

Transfers are made from unrestricted to restricted funds to cover any overspends on restricted projects during the year where the cost will not be met by the funder. Transfers between restricted funds and from restricted to unrestricted funds are made with the permission of the funder. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Leasing commitments

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities evenly over the period of the lease.

Pension costs

The charity makes contributes into the personal retirement schemes of certain staff. Contributions by the charity and staff are determined by mutual agreement.

From 1 April 2015, under the Pensions Act 2008, the charity must put certain staff into a pension scheme and contribute towards it. This is called automatic enrolment. To comply with automatic enrolment laws, the charity signed a participation agreement with a pension provider by which staff become members of an independently administered pension plan. The charity and staff make contributions as specified in the plan.

In the aforementioned schemes, staff contract directly with the pension company, and assets of those schemes are held separately from those of the charity. The charity acts as agent in collecting and paying over staff pension contributions. Once the contributions have been paid, the charity as employer has no further obligations.

The charity's contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. At the reporting date, outstanding contributions amounted to £3,510 (2019: £3,574).

Purpose of unrestricted funds:

To ensure our work is protected from the risk of disruption at short notice due to a lack of funds, whilst at the same time ensuring we do not retain income for longer than required.

Purpose of unrestricted designated funds:

Trustees, at their discretion, may earmark part of unrestricted funds for specific activities, without restricting or committing the funds in a legal sense. The designation may be cancelled by the trustees if they later decide that the charity does not need these funds for a specified purpose.

Purpose of restricted funds:

These funds relate to unspent money from donations and other incoming sources where the funder has specified what the money must be spent on and the trustees do not have the power to use the funds for other purposes.

Restricted funds are to be utilised as follows:

18. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31 August 2020.

19. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

The outbreak of Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, a virus causing potentially deadly respiratory tract infections spreading all over the world, has negatively affected economic conditions regionally and globally, disrupt ed operations, affected supply chains or otherwise impacted the charity. This is clearly concerning and the charity has and is monitoring developments very closely. The safety and well-being of the staff, volunteers and trustees have been the overriding priority. We are also doing all we can to ensure operation continuity.The pandemic existed at the balance sheet date, although the scale of the pandemic and associated government policy response only began to become clear in the months following the charity's financial year. The trustees have considered the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the charity's activities. This event is likely to cause significant disruption to the charity's activities, but at the date of the approval of these financial statements, the extent and quantum of the disruptions remains uncertain.

20.

ULTIMATE CONTROLLING PARTY

The charitable company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The charitable company is controlled by its members as a group and consequently there is no single controlling party.

At the reporting date, in the trustees' opinion, there is no ultimate controlling party. There has been no change between the reporting date and date of approval of the financial statements.
