Trustees’ (Directors’) Annual Report

For the year ended 31 March 2024

Chair’s Statement for the Period Ended 31 March 2024

As the interim Chair of CP Sport, it is my privilege to present the annual report on our accounts. This year has been one of both significant change and consolidation for our charity, and I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on our achievements and outline our vision for the future.

Our finances have been stable thanks to our five year grant from Sport England, and the continued support of our funders for which we are very grateful.

A major objective for this year has been to improve our internal processes for managing finances. By implementing more robust financial controls and enhancing our reporting mechanisms, we have been able to achieve greater transparency and accountability. These improvements are crucial as we strive to secure additional income sources and ensure long-term sustainability.

Now that our organisation has a firm footing, it is imperative that we work towards securing additional income by recruiting a fundraising specialist. This specialist will be responsible for developing and implementing comprehensive fundraising strategies, establishing relationships with potential donors, and exploring innovative funding opportunities. Their expertise will be crucial in supporting our mission to provide inclusive sports opportunities for individuals with cerebral palsy.

As you will see from the trustee’s report below, we continue to grow our profile and work to offer as many opportunities as possible in a challenging post covid environment.

Looking ahead, our goal going forward is to strike the important balance of facilitating other organisations running events for people with CP and running events ourselves, where partners are limited in their availability. Our hubs are making progress but there is still much to do.

Acknowledgements

It is important to acknowledge the resignation of our former Chair, Lynne Wardle, whose dedication and leadership have been invaluable to our organisation. Additionally, we recognise the resignation of trustee John Harrison, who has been a steadfast supporter of our mission. We extend our deepest gratitude to both Lynne and John for their years of service and commitment to CP Sport.

We are also delighted to welcome Richard Todd, our CP Football Development Officer and Rio Boothe our Social Media Manager to our team this year, both have made fantastic impact on CP Sport already and we look forward to how they will help the organisation grow in the future.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated staff, volunteers, funders, and partners. Your unwavering support and commitment have been instrumental in our success. Together, we have made significant strides, and I am excited about the journey ahead.

Sincerely, Richard Broughton Interim Chair, CP Sport

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were:

L Wardle (Resigned as Chair on 31.01.24 and as a Trustee on 09.07.24) R Broughton (Became interim Chair on 31.01.24) J Harrison (Resigned on 29.02.24) C Jay E Jones I Coombes A Gosling D Rad

Objectives and activities

The objects for which the charity is established for are for the relief of people with cerebral palsy. To promote and protect the physical and mental health of people with cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury and physical disabilities, for the public benefit, in particular, but not exclusively by:

The charity’s activities are reviewed each year by the Board of Trustees. 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)' as well as the services and activity needs of our beneficiaries. The Charity Commission in its “Charities and Public Benefit” Guidance states that there are two key principles to be met in order to show that an organisation’s aims are for the public benefit: firstly, there must be an identifiable benefit and secondly, that the benefit must be to the public or a section of the public. The Trustees are satisfied that the aims and objectives of the charity, and the activities reported on below to achieve those aims and meet those principles.

Our Strategy to Achieve our Objectives

The charity continues to implement its new strategy that was approved in April 2022 thanks to the ongoing support of Sport England and other partners. We continue to recognise that this cannot be achieved through direct delivery alone, and collaboration and building community is at the heart of our strategy. We work with partners to ensure that any activities that are introduced are sustainable and are not reliant on CP Sport alone for their continued operation.

Our strategy is summarised here. This is an evolving strategy that will continue to develop according to the wants and needs of our community and in a dynamic funding, financial and social context.

Our vision is that everyone with cerebral palsy enjoys a lifetime habit of sport and physical activity.

Our mission is to influence the sector and wider society so that every person with cerebral palsy has the choice and opportunity to be physically active.

Trustees’ (Directors’) Annual Report

For the year ended 31 March 2024

Our objectives are to:

Our values are:

If we are to achieve our vision and mission in the interests of our community, it is vital that people with cerebral palsy are aware of us and trust us to deliver what they want and need to enjoy a lifetime of physical activity. We need a well led and committed staff team who have the skills and confidence to succeed and the ability to respond to the opportunities and challenges they encounter.

We need to understand the impact we are making and to gather insight and feedback necessary for us to learn and continuously improve and we need to ensure the financial resilience to realise our ambitions for our community. We have focused on these enablers in parallel with delivering our strategic objectives.

Achievements in progressing our strategy

Develop and support a regional network to provide sport and physical activity opportunities

Following our research with the University of Nottingham, we know that the North East had the highest prevalence of disability in the UK at 29% and:

As such, it was the ideal place for our first hub. This year has seen significant development of the regional hubs thanks to our dedicated team:

Develop impactful education and training to increase access to sport and physical activity

Sustainability is at the core of what we do because we know we cannot deliver everywhere in the UK so we have supported this by:

Build community

Increase play and participation opportunities and choice

Tackle inequalities and address intersecting inequalities for people with CP in sport

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure the accounts have been properly prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Independent Examiner’s Report

To The Trustees of CP SPORT

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of CP Sport

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024, charity number 1088600, company number 04181593 which are set out on pages 7 to 14.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity trustees of the company (and also 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 your company’s accounts as 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

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 that in any material respect:

  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).

In carrying out my examination I noted that three sources of Restricted Funding have run into deficit with no transfer from the Charity’s unrestricted funds to cover the deficit. The Trustee’s have provided assurance that the funds are authorised to be in deficit and they have sufficient free reserves to fund the deficit on these specific funds.

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.

1 Principal Accounting Policies

Company Information

CP Sport is a private charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales. The registered office is at Lytchett House, 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, Dorset, BH16 6FA.

Accounting Convention

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with; the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011. The accounts include the results of the company’s operations, which are described in the Trustees’ Annual Report, all of which are continuing. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.

Going Concern

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the charitable company will continue to operate.. The Trustees and Directors consider that the available reserves and the availability of continued financial support will ensure the required working capital be in place for the company to continue operations for the foreseeable future. This is based on the Trustees and Directors opinion that the activity will continue to grow with increased publicity and support of their charitable activities. If the company were unable to continue to trade adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their realisable amount, and to provide for any further liabilities that may arise.

Incoming Resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the company is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Income from charitable trading activities is recognised when the related goods and services have been completed and dispatched.

Income from grants and other donations which are of a voluntary nature are recognised when the charitable company has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date and receipt is probable. Grants received for future accounting periods are deferred.

Income from grants, and similar income where conditions for payment are linked to performance, are recognised to the extent that the charity has met the conditions.

Income from donated facilities is recognised when the charitable company utilises the facilities with the fair value being recognised as incoming resources and expended resources simultaneously, as appropriate.

Resources Expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, recognised when a liability is incurred, and classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held with banks.

Basic Financial Assets

Basic financial assets, which include bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction cost and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Page: 9

CP SPORT

Notes forming part of the Accounts

For the year ended 31 March 2024

Basic Financial Liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Depreciation

Tangible assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost, less estimated residual value, of all tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives as follows:

Office Equipment 15% on written down value Computer Equipment 20% on written down value

Fund Accounting

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

Restricted finds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
