Objectives and activities

The objects for which the charity is established 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 guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including Public benefit: running a charity (PB2) , as well as the services and activity needs of beneficiaries. The Charity Commission’s Charities and Public Benefit guidance states there are two key principles to be met in order to demonstrate public benefit: firstly, that 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 below to achieve those aims, meet these 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 2025

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.

Acknowledgements

The Trustees would like to extend their sincere gratitude to all staff, volunteers, funders, participants, and members. The achievements and progress detailed above would not have been possible without their unwavering dedication and support. Their commitment has been instrumental in enabling the charity to deliver its mission and continue to make a meaningful impact on the lives of people with cerebral palsy.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

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.

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.

CP SPORT

Notes forming part of the Accounts

For the year ended 31 March 2025

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.

Sport England

CP Sport is a long-term funded partner of Sport England. The current funding cycle spans five years. Due to the timing of grant payments, our six-monthly instalments are sometimes received shortly before the financial year-end, which can temporarily increase the level of restricted funds shown in these accounts.

The Hargreaves Foundation

The Hargreaves Foundation generously funded the purchase of five running frames for use in a school working in partnership with CP Sport, supporting frame running opportunities for children with cerebral palsy. Although the funding was received several months before the equipment was ordered, the purchase was completed early in the following financial year and therefore falls outside the reporting period of these accounts.

Postcode Neighbourhood Trust

We continue to work with the Postcode Neighbourhood Trust to reallocate the grant to an appropriate sport programme. Covid-19 restrictions prevented delivery of the original planned activities, and discussions are ongoing to ensure the funds are used in line with both the Trust’s requirements and CP Sport’s programme priorities.

14 Called up share capital

The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. Under the provisions of the company’s memorandum of association, each member would be required to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 for the payment of debts of the company in the event of a deficiency of assets on a winding up of the company.

15 Control

The charity has been controlled throughout the year by the trustees, whom are identified in the company information.

16 Transactions with Trustees and Related Parties

None of the trustees have been paid any remuneration or received any other benefits from employment with the Charity or any related entity.
