TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Trustees present their Annual Report together with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022. The Annual Report serves the purpose of both a Trustees Report and a Directors Report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and the financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable companies governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report & Directors Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’.

The object and principal activity of the company is the provision of adventure, education and leisure activities to the residents of Leicestershire and surrounding areas. Our approach to fulfilling this object remains unchanged from the previous year. The full range of facilities offered can be seen on our website: www.lopc.co.uk.

b. Public benefit statement

In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit at our trustees meetings.

LOPC has a mission to provide adventurous activity experiences designed to stimulate, educate & motivate young people & others at affordable prices, in a safe challenging environment.

LOPC is developing the facilities, activities and programs to meet the local need as identified through local strategies and feedback. This enables LOPC to offer opportunities for local people to engage in exciting and adventurous activities, thereby creating a sustainable local community facility for all people of all ages.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the Company

Coronavirus pandemic restrictions remained in force for residential Centre’s at the start of the financial year. Whilst these restrictions placed significant pressure on other Centre’s around the UK, as a non-residential Centre the LOPC was able to adapt its services to support a return to operating session for various user groups.

Whilst some funding was still sourced in the year from grants, legacies and public donations, income from this source reduced by over 65% in the year as the Centre started to return to the position of being self-sufficient in terms of supporting its costs and contribute to the future success of the business

For the early part of 2021 the Centre still ran a reduced program of activities, with many schools unable to travel due to school travel restrictions. Whilst many Outdoor Centre’s throughout the UK were still unable to open until the Autumn for residential visits, the LOPC was able to operate day visits for many of the local schools who were able to walk to the Centre. The LOPC also supported many NCS (National Citizen Service) groups over the Autumn, whilst maintaining the Home Education groups. The unique facilities offered by the LOPC to the community have proven to be a valuable asset to the physical and mental well-being of those participants.

Investing in the future of the Centre, during the past year the LOPC have refreshed Reception & Welcome signage, we purchased new Open Canoes, Sit on top kayaks and SUP’s, re-felted the wheelchair abseil and converted much of the remaining lighting in the Centre to LED lighting. Some of the large Ash Trees on site were pruned back, with the shavings from the branches being spread across the bushcraft area among some of the site improvements.

We continue to work with NGB’s to update courses and ensure they are relevant and current for the sector.

Income from the Charitable Activities provided for the year 2021-22 increased quite significantly as the Centre started to recover from post-pandemic restrictions. Working to support education and community groups, enabling provision of activities in an ‘Outdoor’ setting has enabled the LOPC to generate £646k in income, demonstrating the demand for services even when provision is still slightly restricted.

Expenditure naturally increased for the year, owing to greater staff expenditure based on 2020-21. Although there were once again increases in the National Living Wage, these costs have been absorbed in the increase in income levels for the year.

The LOPC recruited three new apprentices on the Institute of Outdoor Learning (IOL) ‘Outdoor Instructor Apprenticeship Scheme’ in February 2021. The Centre continues to invest in the development of young people.

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. This consideration has taken into account the expected future impact of the National economy on the charity as far as it can be determined and the Trustees remain satisfied that the going concern principle remains appropriate.

LEICESTER OUTDOOR PURSUITS CENTRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

b. Reserves policy

The Statement of Financial Activities shows a net surplus of £148,856 (2021: net surplus of £99,209) and reserves of £534,486 (2021: £385,630).

Forecasts are for a decline in reserves due to the unstable international picture, notable the ongoing impact of the global Covid pandemic, the war in Ukraine and its effect on energy markets and other commodities and political uncertainty in the UK. Cash reserves from 2021-2022 are more than was anticipated, which will provide the Charity greater stability in the face of the unstable global economy. Future investment may need to be drawn upon to support future expenditure at the Centre but at this time that is uncertain. The directors ultimately wish to maintain unrestricted reserves of 3-6 months expenditure, but the current climate may impact the ability to achieve this in the short-term.

Free reserves represents unrestricted funds of £293,609 less tangible and intangible assets of £213. At the year end, the company had free reserves of £293,396 (2021: £196,123) which equates to approximately 6 months.

c. Investments policy

The Directors have considered the way in which the company invests its funds and considers the most appropriate approach is for the funds to be held in bank accounts where the money is readily available.

d. Principal risks and uncertainties

The Directors have again discussed all the major risks to the Company during the year. They have developed systems and strategies to control these risks and mitigate any effect they may have on the Centre. The Directors will continue to review these on a regular basis.

At present time the greatest risk is from the uncertainty of both international and domestic markets and its future consequences which at present are unknown. There are ongoing risks from flooding and although these are an annual concern, being based on a flood plain, to date we have been able to continue to operate with a reduced capacity in flood conditions.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Trust deed.

f. Acknowledgements

The Trustees would like to thank all of the Centre staff and volunteers who continue to put in an enormous amount of effort to make the LOPC a Community Centre of choice for the people of Leicester and surrounding area.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Plans for future periods

LOPC will remain committed to continual development in order to become a Centre of choice for its customers, staff and volunteers.

• The Centre has been invited to apply to become a delivery provider for the HAF (Holiday Activity Fund) Scheme for the Holiday Scheme. At limited times of the year, accessing this provision may help to provide access to the facilities we offer to those who would not normally be able to access our services, but may also provide opportunity for increased growth.

• The Outdoor Instructor Apprenticeship Scheme has now been running for the past 3 years at the LOPC and has helped to support the educational development of people aspiring to become future Outdoor Instructors. The Centre will continue to offer Apprentice positions for the foreseeable future.

• As numbers of participants increase, so does the need for more equipment. The Centre will continue to invest in new equipment, as well as replacing much of the aging equipment to help the Centre offer a more premium experience to visitors with newer equipment available for use.

• A replacement fund has be set up to provide contribution to the financial resources for the replacement of the high ropes course in the future as income and finances permit. The Centre will continue to add to this fund as finances permit.

• The Centre still wish to install a drainage pump into the Cellar, but have started a far more ambitious plan, to look at the possibility/feasibility of demolishing the existing building an building a new bespoke Outdoor Centre in c.8-10 years’ time.

• In the short term, the Centre will look at other projects that can give the Centre a bit of a face-lift … i.e. new signage and redevelopment of the Air-rifle range.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre ('the Company')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the Trustees of the Company (and its Directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfillment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfulled.

Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees' Annual Report.

Where practicable, gifts in kind donated for distribution to the beneficiaries of the charity are included in donations in the financial statements upon receipt. If it is impracticable to assess the fair value at receipt of if the costs to undertake such a valuation outweigh any benefits, then the fair value is recognised as a component of donations when it is distributed and an equivalent amount recognised as charitable expenditure.

Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognised when receivable and are included at fair value. They are not deferred over the life of the asset.

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occured.

Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes. It includes dividends, interest and rent. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is establised.

Other income includes income such as gains on disposals of tangible fixed assets.

2.3 Income (continued)

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.6 Taxation

The Company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 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.

2.7 Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.

Amortisation is provided on the following basis:

Provisions are made for impairment as required.

2.8 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500, are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

2.9 Debtors

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

2.10 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and 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.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.11 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

2.12 Financial instruments

The Company 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.

2.13 Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

2.14 Pensions

The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Company to the fund in respect of the year.

2.15 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
