Achievements and perfomiance
The year has been challengit)g after the inthal recovery from COVID. With rises in national minimum wage. national
insurancè and a general rise in our operatln8 COSt5, the ability to generate a Surplus has been 5queeied. Boltorb Arena staff
have all worked really hard to generate new ideas and brire in new business to ensure we are maximisi08 the u5a8e and
income from facilities and operations.
Conferencing is something that has been slower than most areas to recover. with some booktngs not having returned or
having reduced permanently due to hybridlremote working. The cafe 15 an area that has also been Slower to recover and
suffered from a very high turnover of staff over the last year.
We have also been working hard with Bolton Council and other stakeholder5 to re-focus and ensure we are aligned with
the Bolton Council vision and oui charitable objectives. This has resulted in co-location of Bolton Council sports
development team'sport in Bolton, and several allocations of HAFF fundinB for holiday artivitie5 durin8 the school holidays

Capital investment 15 something that has been a priority after being 2-3 year5 behind with the sinking fund investment
against the building condition survey. Procuring new boilers and project managing the inst311 before winter has been a
major project. We have a150 invested over £250k into general decoration, chanBin8 upgrades and maintenance. This
pro8ramrne will continue into 2023124. Pro8re55 has been slow. mainly due to the constraints and resources of Bolton
Council and its partners.
Progromming ondsports Edu¢otion
The development of Bolton Arena as a sporting hubforthe ¢ommunrty is something that has been a priority to re-establish
nd grow post-covid.
Our partnership with Horwich Hèrriers has been renewed and refreshed, resulting in several new running groups and
planned Santa dash in Oecember. Our partnership with A£e UK has continued to thrive over the last year with some real
success with walking football.
We are a fvll member of the newly formed CIC charity GM Active. working collaboratively with other leisure trusts across
Greater Manchester. This has continued to grow over the year. with potenrially more access to fundin& and we have had
staff access the transform3tion leadership course run by the(n. We participated in a cancer pre-hab pilot programme, and

Inve5tmentpolicy
There are currently few funds available for longer term investment. as such cash balances are managed to ensure any
balances not required for dairy working capital are placed in interest bearing deposit accounts. Once the Trust is in the
position to considei other investment opportunities a more detailed investment policy will be considered by the Trustees.

the Arena is maintained. The detailed profile for the expected value of these funds is given in the Management Agreement.
In addition, the Trust intends to target an annual surplus in the region of 4% of turnover in ordeT to generate a general free
reserve which should equate to 6 months of salary and fixed running costs. The general free reserves will be available to

branches not visited by us- or
the financial statèments are not in agrèement with the accounting records and returns,. or
rtain disclosures of trustees. remuneration specified by law are not made- or
we have not received all thè information and explanations we require for our audit.
ResponslbllStles of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees. responsibilities. the trustees (who are also directors of Bolton
Middlebrook LeisureTrust for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of thefinancial 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 a55e55in8 the group and the charitable companrfs
bility to continue as a gosng concern. (Jisclosin& as applicable, matlers related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the 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 objertives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material mi5Statement. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but 15 not a guararbtee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS
IUKI will always deiett a material misstatèmÈnt when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material rf, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonabty 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 regulation5. We design procedures in line
with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities including fraud. Our
approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material missLitement in respect of irregularities. including fraud and
non<ompliance with laws and regulations. wa$ 3$ follows=
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectNely had the appropriate competènce,
capabilities and ski115 to identify or recognise non-compliance with applioble laws and re8ulation5,'
we identified the laws and ￿gUlatIonS applicable to the group through discussions wth trustees and other
management. and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the tharity 5ÈCt0r;
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct rnaterial effed on the finanoal
statements or the operations of ihe group. including the Companies Act 2LX16. taxation legislation and data
protection. employment and hèalth and safety legislation;
we assessed ihe extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquirie5 of
rnanagement.. and
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert
to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the group's and the companvs ffinancial 5tatÈments to rnaterial rni55tatement, includinB
obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
making enquiries of rnana8ement as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowled8e
of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fra¢Jd and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

INOEPEMDENT AUD￿OR.5 REPORTTO THE MEMBERS OF
BOLTON MIDDLEBROOK LEISURE TRUST
To addre55 the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we=
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpetted relati¢)nships.'
tested journal entries to identify unusual transaction5- and
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determinin8the accountin8 estimates were indlcatlve or
potential bias.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-complian￿ with laws and regulations. we designed procedures whTrch
included, but were not limited to..
agreeing financial statement di5c105ures to undertying supporting do¢umentation-
reading the minutes of meetings of those char8e(I with 8overnance,' and
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and daims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are
from financial transactions. the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditin8 standards also
limlt the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulat¢ons to enquiry of the directors and
other management and the in5pertion of regulatory and le881 corrèspondence. if any.
Material mlsstatements that arise dueto fraud can be harder to detect than th05ethat arise from erior as they rnay involve
deliberate concealment or collusion.

Council's website at.. www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditorfs report.
