THE LONDON SPORT TRUST
TRUSTEES REPORT AND DIRECTORS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 2025
ACCOUNTS
Structure, Governance and Management
The Trust-is an unincorporated trust, constituted under a trust deed dated 12* June 1998 and is registered charity,
ımber 1077617. The trust was established by an initial grant from the John Lyon's Charity to provide support f
lancially disadvantaged children and young people with sporting talent. The Trust has continued to recei
tunding from local authorities in which the Trust operates. The Trust has recently secured funding to develop its
new programmes City Sports Academies, Skills for Life and Active Communities.
The trustees are appointed by a Board of Trustees and serve for a 5 year period after which they can be re-
appointed. The Trust Deed provides for a minimum of 3 trustees. At the quarterly trustee's meeting, the trustees
review the progress in the agreed trust objective areas through the Directors report, as well as the financial status
of the trust, reserves and risk management, policies and performance. The day to day running of the trust,
monitoring of grants, assessment of applications and finance monitoring is undertaken by the Director.
The Trust reviews the skills of the board of trustees on a regular basis. New trustees are often sought to fulfil the
strategic or governance of the London Sport Trust. All proposed trustees must understand and commit to the aims
and objectives of the Trust. After an initial proposal to the board of trustees, the proposed trustee will be invited
to a meeting with the Chair and secretary. The final decision will be made at a board of trustee to nominate a new
Risk Management
The London Sports Trust trustees have reviewed the risks at which the charity is exposed to and have worked
alongside the Director to implement strategies and actions to minimise these risks. A fundraising strategy to secure
running costs for the charity is in place.

Achievements and Performance
School Games
Over the last year we have started to be involved with the RBKC School Games working with Ashburnham
School and Youth Sports Trust top coordinate and deliver sporting activities for primary schools and Year 7
secondary schools. This was the first year of delivery following COVID and it proved to be an extremely busy and
successful year. LST will continue to be involved with the School Games next year.
City Sports Academies
City Sports Academies is our inspirational sports programme for children and young people (CYP) and their families
on the most deprived housing estates in the tri-boroughs of Hammersmith & Fulham, RBKC and Westminster aged
between 8-16 years old or up to 25 years (SEN or learning disability). We combine sport and life skills to hook CYP
into positive behaviour and fulfil their potential in sport, education and life. The programme introduces children
and young people to sports and health activities with pathways linked to existing and new clubs for talented
In Westminster we deliver session for gifted and talented primary school students, as well as talent identification
session in secondary schools. Our community sessions in RBKC and LBHF are focused on the housing estates and
community centres to bring sport to the young people aged between 14-25 years old. The individuals' beneficiating
from these sport sessions will then be encouraged to participate in the life skills programme to improve future
employment opportunities.
SEND focus
LST have started a 3 year partnership with Kensington Queensmill Academy which specialises in support of
autistic children and young people. This includes coordinating and delivery of programmes at the school and at
a number of other sites across RBKC and surrounding boroughs.
The programme also encompasses LBHF and RBKC organisations supporting SEND children and young people. A
specialist training programme for all LST staff and volunteers means that the CYP receive expert support.
Skills for Life
The Skills for Life programme gives disadvantaged children and young people an opportunity to achieve their
goals in sport, education and life improving life chances. The programme teaches them a number of essential life
skills, so they are able to live independently in the future. This programme develops life skills in communication,
finance, cooking, DIY, as well as customer services skills, Leadership and accredited coaching qualifications. Our
3

young people have the opportunity to volunteer and gain work experience with our social enterprise, in the
community and with local businesses.
The main aim of the project is to focus on youth unemployment and provide young adults with skills and
confidence to adequately cope with independent living and future life as a student or employee. Sorted is
designed to prepare young adults about to live on their own for the first time, either prior to further education
or employment. The Sorted modules equip them with essential life skills necessary to lead responsible,
independent and healthy lives. The programme will cultivate responsible young adults with increased
employment opportunities. Our graduates will volunteer at a chosen local community organisation. Links with
local and regional businesses will give our beneficiaries volunteer and work experience with the aim of securing
Watersports
The Trust has been managing and delivering the watersports programme to two new sites in Kensington &
Chelsea, Canalside Activity Centre and Cremorne. This started in August 2020 during the middle of the COVID-19
lockdown. However we tried to keep the sites open for key worker and vulnerable children and young people.
The popularity of kayaking, canoeing and Stand Up Paddleboarding has grown so much and with our 3 sites our
aim is give every child and young person a fun experience on the canal and river Thames.
London Youth Games
Now into our 5th year running the LYG teams for RBKC, we continue to offer CYP from youthclubs and all schools
the opportunity compete in one of Londons mist prestigious youth competitions. From September 2020 LST
started coordinating the London Youth Games for Kensington & Chelsea. We are now in our 4*h year and our
team is working woth schools, youthclubs and sports clubs to give CYP an opportunity of competitive sport. As
we as the 2nd smallest borough with few facilities our aim to for participation and opportunity.
Active Communities
Active Communities is our family programme engaging young parents to learn and play with their children. Our
pilot programme has been a great success training up parents and increasing family cohesion. London Sports Trust
are working in partnership with Hammersmith and Fulham council to deliver regular sport sessions within the
borough using Sport England's Community Sport Activation Fund. This is a programme in which we aim to engage
with adults and families through inclusive sports programmes. Since 2013, over 500 people have attended free or
low-cost physical activity classes as part of Active Communities. With a programme of women's only, adults'
classes and family sessions there is something for everything.
Watersports
The Trust has been managing and delivering the watersports programme to two new sites in Kensington &
Chelsea, Canalside Activity Centre and Cremorne. This started in August 2020 during the middle of the COVID-19
lockdown. However we continued to keep the sites open for key worker and vulnerable children and
youngpeople.
London Youth Games
From September 2020 LST started coordinating the London Youth Games for Kensington & Chelsea. Due to the
COVID-19 lockdown this mainly consisted of online challenges and delivering equipment to vulnerable families
4

in deprived areas. Now lockdown has finished we have coordinated numerous events and teams for in person
LYG events.
Place2Play
Place 2Play is our inclusive family 'pop up sports' programme which is now specifically focused on Hammersmith &
Fulham helping the poorest areas like White City & Wormholt. The content of the Place2Play session includes fun
games that emphasises developing children's agility, balance and co-ordination skills in children aged 2-11.
Meanwhile parents are also encouraged to join in and learn about the benefits of recreational family sports and
thus improve play in their spare time.
Active Minds
Active Minds is the culmination of work on Time Out Together and other pilot projects for families and vulnerable
adults. We continue this in LBHF with pop sessions in RBKC and Westminster.
This project made it easier for parents/carers of disabled children to become active, talk with their peers, de-
stress and improve their wellbeing - there is currently nothing of this nature available for this group. The
programme continues in a slightly different format with regular weekly sessions with the addition of some
fantastic family trips to Hamleys, Apple Store and the Natural History Museum. This includes closed sessions with
each of the four local SEN schools, located within 2-miles of each school, and two additional open sessions.
Sessions will incorporate a phased introduction to fun physical activities and a social and/or wellbeing element
to take place before or after.
Think Active
Think Active is a sports programme for mental health delivered in partnership with MIND. Our aim is to provide
opportunities for people to enjoy physical activity while speaking openly about mental health and learning how
being active can make a difference to our wellbeing. Our aim for Think Active is to focus on children & young
people to break down the stigma of mental health while enjoying sport & physical activity. It will also allow young
people to learn about the work of MIND and other local mental health charities.
The project is aimed any young person aged 11 - 18 living within disadvantaged communities in London. Young
people can self-refer onto Think Active, but we will also ask youth clubs to recommend the programme to young
people who they feel will benefit.
Financial review
The Trust receives the majority of its current funding from a variety of sources including Lottery, local
authority and charitable foundation as well as our social enterprise schools programme.
A proportion of this is allocated for governance and administration. Funds for the coaching programmes and
running costs have been secured from the corporate sponsors and local authorities. In the year under review
there was a surplus on unrestricted funds of £393,730.
Reserves Policy
The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds which equates to approximately 3 months of
charitable expenditure. Budgeted expenditure for 2025/2026 totals £621,192, the required level of reserves is
therefore £155,298. The current level of free reserves covers this target.
5

Plans for the Future
The Trust will continue our revised Game plan for 20215-2029 incorporating City Sports Academies (sport) and
Skills for Life (training and life skills), SEND and Think Active (Improving physical & mental health of families). In
addition, we will drive forward the Watersports, Think Active & Active Communities programme across LBHF,
RBKC and Westminster and surroundings boroughs. These will be the main objectives for the Trust over the next
EcoSport
London Sports Trust is using the power of sport to educate and support children and families to improve the
environment and their carbon footprint. We have already started with a number of projects on the River Thames
called Paddle & Pick to clear rubbish from the Thames. Our plan for the coming year is to work with football and
sports clubs to help them and their fans to reduce their carbon footprint.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
Legislation requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application
of resources, including income and expenditure for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements,
the trustees follow best practice and aim to:
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently Make judgments and estimates that are
reasonable and prudent; and Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to assume the charity will continue on that basis.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy
at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply
with the Charities Act 2011. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence
for taking responsible steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Public Benefit Statement
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due
regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, "Charities and Public Benefit".
London Sports Trust's charitable purpose is to support disadvantaged children and young people to support
their sporting and educational goals.
