OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES
The objects of the charity, as defined by the Memorandum of Association, are to provide recreational facilities together with education and training in sporting and leisure activities with the object of improving the potential user's condition of life. Such facilities should be available to the public at large irrespective of their youth, age, infirmity, disablement, poverty or social or economic circumstances.
In setting our objectives and planning the activities of the charity the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES
The charity has in place a robust business plan and budgets, complemented by creative sales and marketing initiatives to ensure the facilities are fit for purpose and the leisure activities on offer support delivery of the Trust's charitable objectives.

The charity's facility comprises: gym, swimming pools, sports hall, group fitness studios, athletics track, squash courts, Cafe, meeting/training/conference rooms and a therapy suite. Utilising the various facilities, the Trust offers a comprehensive, diverse and accessible range of activities to ensure the community's activity needs are met.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
The Trustees are pleased to report that following the disruption of Covid 19 for the previous two trading years activities across the Centre returned to a more normal level. Demand continued to grow across all activities.
The Appointment of the new General Manager, who started at the beginning of April 2022, has been a great success with an increased optimism across the Centre amongst Management, Staff and Customers alike. During the year a full review of Policies, Protocols and Procedures has been carried out. Staff and Managers have worked hard to bring these up to date and training has been implemented as and where thought necessary.
The high customer demand continued to put pressure upon the Staff and Management Team who continued to respond in a highly professional manner. Staff recruitment has remained challenging through-out the year but slowly the vacancies are being filled.
The year has also been challenging due to energy costs increasing in a very unpredictable manner which made it difficult to budget and control. The Management Team continued to monitor and manage usage to ensure customers continued to enjoy a “near normal” experience within the centre but had to be mindful of controlling the escalating costs on a daily basis. This is still work in progress as the energy market continues to fluctuate.
The Team have been busy re-engaging with both Community and Business Sponsors and work continues to build upon these valuable connections.
The relationship with Plymouth Argyle Community Trust, that is based at Carn Brea, continues to grow with additional space being made available for Staff and Students.
The Trustees are pleased to report that the Centre continues to be well managed and is in a healthy position to invest in the future. The condition of the building and facilities continues to be challenging but the Management Team and Trustees are engaging with partners to investigate options for repairing, improving and investing in the estate where funding and opportunities are possible.
FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES/INCOME GENERATION
Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust owns 100% of the share capital of Carn Brea Leisure Centre (Trading) Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales (company no. 04212770). The principal activity of Carn Brea Leisure Centre (Trading) Limited is to operate the commercial activities at Carn Brea Leisure Centre. All taxable profits generated through this trading subsidiary are donated to Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
RESERVES
As at 31 March 2023, the group held £427,935 of funds (2022: £527,460), of which £470,383 (2022: £519,017) were restricted for specific purposes and (£42,448) (2022: £8,443) were unrestricted.
GOING CONCERN
The Trustees are pleased to report that CBLCT has continued to recover well from the impact of The Covid-19 Pandemic with demand across all activities returning to pre-pandemic levels. In recognising the importance of Health and Fitness Activities, to all age groups and sectors of the local demographic, the Trust has continued to work with Cornwall Council (Active Cornwall) and other Partners to help with the accessibility of our offerings.
The Trustees and management Team continue to engage with Cornwall Council and other Key Stakeholders, including George Eustice MP and Local Councillors, to investigate the most appropriate Funding Bid to improve and enhance the facilities and activities for the future.
Although the Trust has again returned a Trading Loss for the Financial Year 2022/23 the Trustees are satisfied with the performance particularly with the significant challenges faced with a volatile Energy Market following the Russian/Ukrainian conflict.
With the continued support and dedication of the Senior Management Team and Staff, under the Leadership of the General Manager, the loyal Customer Base and Local Community Support and working with all Key Stakeholders, the Trustees remain confident that the Trust can operate for the foreseeable future based upon the information and projections available at this time.
The Trustees believe that it is appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. As part of developing the Risk Management Policy Trustees continue to assess the major risks and are satisfied that systems and controls are in place to mitigate these risks. The Trust aspires to maintain its general reserve fund going forwards but recognises that the ageing building requires constant investment.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Trustees have assessed the major risks they have identified and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to these risks.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
CONSTITUTION
The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and it is governed by its Articles of Association.
The company was incorporated under the Companies Act 1985 as a company limited by guarantee and not having share capital.

Trustees’ report
For the year ended 31 March 2023
METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
New Trustees are recruited based on the skills, knowledge and experience that the Board requires to ensure that the charity is well governed. Trustees are elected by the members of the charity attending the Annual General Meeting or by proxy vote.
POLICIES ADOPTED FOR THE INDUCTION AND TRAINING OF TRUSTEES
Following appointment, all new Trustees attend an induction with the Company Secretary. The induction includes provision to them of the following material, our Memorandum and Articles of Association, The Hallmarks of an Effective Charity (CC60), The Essential Trustee (CC3), Charities and Risk Management information, management accounts and operational information.
PAY POLICY FOR SENIOR STAFF
It is essential for Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust (CBLCT) to have competent and credible leaders at the top of the charity to guide us towards achieving our vision in the most effective and efficient ways; and professional staff at all levels.
Having a competitive salary offering is one of the many ways CBLCT can work to secure the best people to do this important work. CBLCT has pay policies to help us attract and retain great people.
The remuneration committee within the Board of Trustees, led by the Chair, are responsible for defining CBLCT pay policies, particularly our pay grades and processes to determine the salaries of the Chief Executive and the executive team (our senior managers who lead our other staff).
An important pay principle in our pay policies is that our pay grades, salaries and benefits should be proportionate to the complexity of role responsibilities, in line with our charitable objectives and competitive within the UK charity sector.
We aim to pay around the median for similar roles in similar organisations but not compete on salaries within the public or private sectors. To help us achieve this, we monitor charity sector pay trends through available reputable sources such as charity trade associations.
ORGANISATIONALSTRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING
The centre's structure continues to evolve to reflect the needs of the business, on average we employed between 60 and 80 members of staff primarily from the Camborne, Pool and Redruth community. The team consists of both full time and part time employees. The team is managed by the senior management group, through the departmental and supervisory team leaders.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trust takes a pro-active approach to risk management and has a risk management policy in place, which is reviewed annually at the end of each financial year.
As part of developing the risk management policy the Trustees have assessed the major risks and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to these risks. The Trust is aiming to increase the general reserve fund going forwards, however, recognises that as a result of the utility market this continues to be challenging.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The Senior Management Team and Trustees continue in discussions with all Key Stakeholders and have engaged Architects and Funding Specialists to prepare a plan and relevant bid to enhance and improve the facilities. It has never been more important to investigate how the facility can be made more energy sustainable for the future and are currently working on several initiatives.
We continue to appreciate the support of George Eustice MP, Cornwall Council and all of our Key Stakeholders and Sponsors.
INFORMATION ON FUNDRAISING PRACTICES
The Trust did and continues to fund raise across a number of platforms in order to create investment, renewals, new opportunities and provide its services on a continual basis to its existing customer base and endeavour to attract new custom and users.
We have instructed Two Green Magpies to fundraise on behalf of the Trust, they are currently working 3 days per month. There were no complaints with regards to fundraising during the year.
TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The Trustees (who are also directors of Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable group will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable group 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent auditors’ report to the members of Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust (the ‘parent charity’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, consolidated and company balance sheet, consolidated statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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 group’s and parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2023, and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the period 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 and the Charities Act 2011.
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.
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1.7 in the financial statements, which indicates that as at 31 March 2023, the group had negative general funds of £42,448 and is facing challenges especially in terms of a volatile energy market. As stated in Note 1.7 these conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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. 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 financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other 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.

Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust (Limited by Guarantee)
Independent auditors’ report to the members of Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust
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 directors’ 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 group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in 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:
-
adequate and sufficient accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the parent charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of directors’ 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’ exemption in preparing the directors’ 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 6, 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 group’s 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 the 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
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.
9
Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust (Limited by Guarantee)
Independent auditors’ report to the members of Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust
The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
Obtain an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and the sector in which they operate. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, Health and Safety Regulations, Safeguarding and GDPR;
-
Review of the disclosures in the financial statements and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
Enquiries of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings and correspondence with regulators;
-
Performing audit work in connection with the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries for reasonableness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for potential bias.
We also communicate relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risk to all engagement team members and remain alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Our audit approach also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the company for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud being in respect of cut off and completion risk around revenue recognition. Under ISA (UK) we are also required to undertake procedures to respond to the risk of management override of controls. Our procedures included the following:
-
Undertaking transactional testing on revenue
-
Performing reconciliation work from the booking system to the nominal ledger to prove income in total between the different operating systems
-
Performing cut off testing on income
-
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale for significant transactions outside the normal course of business
-
Reviewing estimates and judgements made in the accounts for any indication of bias and challenged assumptions used by management in making estimates.
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/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our audit report.

Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The Statement of financial activities (SOFA) and Balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.
1.2 Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Carn Brea Leisure Centre (Trading) Limited its subsidiary undertaking.
The company has taken advantage of the exemption contained within section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its own Income and expenditure account.
The Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust individual SOFA shows total income of £1,823,583, total expenditure of £1,918,512 and a net movement in funds of (£94,929).
1.3 Company status
Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust is a company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales and accordingly does not have any share capital. Every member undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
These financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financials statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The registered office is disclosed within the reference and administrative details of the company, on page 1.
1.4 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.

1.4 Fund accounting (continued)
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.
1.5 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 legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either the company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the company, or the company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the company 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 of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' 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 company which is the amount the company 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.
1.6 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.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

1.6 Expenditure (continued)
Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the company's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.
1.7 Going concern
Whilst the trustees are pleased to report that the group has continued to recover well from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and demand across all activities is returning to pre-pandemic levels, they acknowledge that the trading loss in the financial year has reduced the general fund of the group to (£42,448). Although there are plans in place to return to profitability, there are challenges facing the group especially in terms of a volatile energy market, this coupled with a negative general fund casts material uncertainty on the group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
However, with continued support and dedication of the senior management team and staff, under the leadership of the General Manager, the loyal customer base and local community support and working with all key stakeholders, the trustees remain confident that the group can operate for the foreseeable future based upon the information and projects available at this time.
As a result the Trustees believe that it is appropriate to continue to prepare these financial statements on the going concern basis.
1.8 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Short-term leasehold property - Over life of lease (5-25 years) Plant and machinery - 10-33% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 10-33% straight line Computer equipment - 20-50% straight line

1.9 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading 'Gains/(losses) on investments' in the Statement of financial activities.
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.
1.10 Leasing and hire purchase
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated o future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the statement of financial activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
1.11 Operating leases
Rentals under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
1.12 Turnover
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of goods and services supplied during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.
1.13 Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
1.14 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 Bank.
1.15 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.
1.16 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.

1.17 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 within interest payable and similar charges.
1.18 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.
1.19 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.
1.20 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Purpose of restricted funds
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.
Funds restricted for the Athletics track were provided for the cost of maintenance and upkeep of the running track facility. This fund has been fully spent for the purposes intended.
The Hub Club Project comprises the grant funded building used to promote grass roots sports clubs. The building is also rented out as a meeting space.
The Sport England - Club House fund represents the costs of the Club House funded by a Sport England capital grant.
The Sport England - Pool Refurbishment fund represents the costs of refurbishing the pool which was funded by a Sport England capital grant. Should the asset be disposed of, or if the charity ceases to operate then this funding may become repayable. Sport England hold a charge in respect of this.
Changing Places project – funding obtained towards the Changing Places facilities at the Centre.
England Athletics – funding towards repairing the hammer cage at the Centre.
The trustees believe that sufficient resources are held in an appropriate form to enable each fund to be applied in accordance with the restrictions.
