Related Parties and Partnerships
The only members of the Board of Trustees who receive remuneration are the Chairs and the Company
Secretary. All other members are engaged in a voluntary capacity, financial consideration being limited to out-of-
pocket expenses. All Trustees must make declarations of interest at Board meetings.
In addition to our main local authority partners, we engage in joint working with a number of other partner:
including Northern College, Barnsley College, Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber of Commerce, South Wes
Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, Community partnerships, Barnsley Hospital, Barnsley CVS, Public
health and Integrated Care Boards.
In tackling health inequalities in our communities, we have representation on a number of boards, groups,

Financial Review
The financial results for the year ended 31 March 2025 are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities on
page 17 with assets, liabilities and reserves shown in the Balance sheet on page 19. The results of the Trading
subsidiary are detailed within the notes along with all other information supporting the financial statements on
pages 22-41.
Income for the year amounted to £22,144,271(2024 £20,354,454) with expenditure £20,246,961 (2024
£18,928,103) and a resulting surplus of £1,163,043 (2024 surplus £729,026).
During the financial year, BPL's key financial goals were to continue to offer innovative and exciting products at
reasonable but competitive prices, keep pace with the significant inflationary pressure on employee costs
brought by the National Minimum Wage, continue to manage energy prices through effective procurement and
manage the rising cost of supplies and services.
In working towards those goals, we:
• Established our group targets of 10% sales growth and 52% payroll margin.
• Developed new fiscal rules for our pricing structure.
• Explored and developed additional revenue streams, models and opportunities to extend services
outside the existing portfolio.
• Continued to build collaborative relationships to create synergies and extend the reach of our services
in the community.
• Continued to seek out alternative funding opportunities for the delivery of projects and incentives as
efficiently and economically as possible.
• Continued to develop our customer relationship management system to improve customer
experience and create efficient and quality data feeding other accounting and reporting systems.
• Worked towards implementing new Financial and Human Resources systems to provide automated
solutions with more robust internal controls and stronger audit trails.
For many years, aging facilities have been a concern for the group. This has been identified as a key risk. We
hope that through joint working with local authority partners we will formulate long term strategies for ensuring
the continuation of services for the boroughs.

BARNSLEY PREMIER LEISURE
THE TRUSTEES' AND STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Principal Sources of Funding
We are a fee charging enterprise; however, the pricing policy is managed to ensure that the economically and
socially deprived obtain greater discounts on the activities. In addition, we offer preferential rates to clubs,
societies, groups and for other similar charities to support the achievement of their objectives.
Management Fee Subsidies
Ve rely on a subsidy from Bassetlaw District Council, set out in the management agreement, to offset certai
osts and loss-making activities. This also allows access to services for disadvantaged individuals through servic
management.
Although we have agreed a nil management fee with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, both the council
and BPL are committed to supporting each other through a partnership approach.
Resources Deployed
We recognise our unique selling point is our people and the services they deliver. To attract and retain staff, we
have continued to invest in our Employee Value Proposition, our Senior Leadership team with Help to Grow
programmes, MBAs and Graduate Apprenticeship, Mentoring and a Reward & Recognition Programme. Our
Capability framework was launched post year end, providing clear pathways for progression and development.
Surplus Generation and Investment
The impact of the economic crisis in recent years has focussed the group on maintaining adequate free reserves
to safeguard the group from limited income growth and rising staff and operating costs. This is reflected in the
company's reserve policy, which is shown below. The Trustees, although recognising that free reserves provide
general protection against external conditions and their impact on the business, are of the opinion that
reinvesting resources back into facilities for meeting out charitable objectives is currently more important.
During the year, we have continued to invest in energy saving initiates and to promote responsible practices
around energy consumption. During the year we implemented energy management software across all sites.
Monies received through the Swimming Pool Support Fund enabled energy reduction projects at our Dearneside
and Bircotes sites. We also invested in new pool filtration systems for sites.
This year we focussed on how we operate and make decisions. Through empowered Strategic Teams we will
identify investment opportunities and deliver projects which maximise revenue streams that support our brand,
create operating efficiencies and improve our decisions through advanced data and analytics.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have reviewed the Reserves Policy and level of unrestricted funds and have determined that target
free reserves should be at least three months of income resources for the group. This is a satisfactory reserve
which could be drawn upon to sustain operations effectively. All cash and bank account balances, excluding the
bank deposit account held as a Bassetlaw Pension Bond, are classified as free reserves for this purpose.

BARNSLEY PREMIER LEISURE
THE TRUSTEES' AND STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Having established target group reserve levels, designated and specific reserves are identified on a
deconsolidated basis to ensure that our contracts and non-contract reserves are clearly identifiable anc
appropriate given any other specific indemnities and guarantees in place.
The Trustees recognise the need to balance investment in facilities on an ongoing basis, with maintaining general
reserves for general assurance purposes. On going scrutiny takes place at Resilient Business Group Meetings and
recommendations are reported back to the Trust Board. The group adopts a collaborative approach to reporting
reserves and discussing investing at contract sites.
Risk Management and Uncertainties
Outside the UK's current economic pressures, we maintain a corporate risk register for the Group. The likelihood
and impact of the risk involved are considered in relation to our business model, our culture and our ability to
deliver our purpose of "Helping people feel good". Each strategic area maintains a risk register, and where
these risks are deemed to have significance for the organisation, they are then added to the Group Risk Register.
The Board of Trustees review the Risk Register on a quarterly basis to ensure that all appropriate risks are
identified and that strategies have been agreed to mitigate, transfer or absorb key risks.
Key Risks
The Deterioration of our estate remains a principal risk, as does the economic challenges of our local authorities,
which will inevitably have an impact on their ability to invest in facilities and services.
Our venues have high levels of usage and there is a risk that without ongoing investment customer experience
decreases and the risk of plant failure increases. We continue to work with our council partners to explore
different models and to identify funding solutions.
In addition to this we have reviewed the adequacy of the company's internal financial controls, and these are
compliant with the Charity Commission's guidelines.
Strategic Report
2024 marked the 25th anniversary of BPL, and the first implementation of our new business model: A Force For
Good to help us achieve our purpose of "helping people feel good".
BPL are a bold, commercially astute, people powered organisation that creates innovative, fun, and supportive
solutions which make people feel good. We add value by being different and bringing spaces to life.
2024/25 marks the first year pivoting towards addressing the health and wellbeing of our communities and
preparing our businesses for a better future, and the new opportunities on the horizon. In our ambition to be
Good For All we're committing £600k towards health and wellbeing incentives in our communities, increasing
our capacity to deliver more and building our Let's Get Going campaign, and Health on the High Street
ambitions.
We set about creating an empowered Senior Leadership Team and a clear reporting and decision-making
structure that speeds up our decisions, development and delivery of our strategic plans. Our Capability
framework and rising stars programme commenced roll out and will support our people's development, enrich
and improve operations and service delivery for the group.

The Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the Charity has appropriate system of controls,

BARNSLEY PREMIER LEISURE
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BARNSLEY PREMIER LEISURE
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
We have audited the financial statements of Barnsley Premier Leisure (the 'parent charitable company ) and its
subsidiary (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of
Financial Activities (incorporating the Summary of Income and Expenditure Account), the Charity and
Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the related notes on pages 22 to 41,
including significant accounting policies. 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 groups and parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 March
2025, and of the group's 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 group and parent 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 groups or parent 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 other information comprises the information included in the trustees'
annual report, other than the

information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a
material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 strategic report and the directors' report)
for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial
statements; and
• the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal
requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its
environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic
report and the directors' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and
the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

and returns; or

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement set out on page 10, the trustees (who are also
the directors of the parent 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 groups and parent charitable
company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or parent
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
We have been appointed auditor under Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and
report in accordance with those Acts.
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:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charitable company (and its
subsidiary) and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the company that were
contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We design audit procedures to respond to the risk,
recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not
detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or
intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial
statements, including, but not limited to the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011 and UK tax legislation. Our
tests included agreeing the financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and
enquiries with management. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the
further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the
financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters
relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override
of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the
directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our
Report of the Auditors.

BARNSLEY PREMIER LEISURE
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
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.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the groups or the parent charitable company's
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the group's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by the trustees.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that
may cast significant doubt on the groups or parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the
date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group or parent
charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation (i.e., gives a true and fair view).
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identity during our audit.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES Cont'd
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is
considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the
definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no
material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of
income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income
and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going
concern.
(m) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded
at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
(n) Loans and borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs.
Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less
impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value.
