TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)".

Objectives and activities

1) Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Provide basketball opportunities to everyone, regardless of gender, ability (or disability), race, religion and sexual orientation.

2) Continual learning, development and improvement

Encourage everyone actively involved in our sport (e.g. players, coaches, officials, volunteers, staff and Trustees generally) to reach their full potential within their role and develop as people. In particular, for players of all ages, we emphasise the importance of education.

3) Health and Wellbeing

We will continue to work with partners to develop principles and disciplines for health and wellbeing in sport and life. The principles and disciplines focus on three core dimensions of health and wellbeing these are the physical, mental and emotional dimensions.

We endeavour to use sport as a vehicle to instil health & wellbeing principles and disciplines in players, coaches, supporters and officials to facilitate and enable:

Hard work Giving your best Fair play Courtesy Grace in winning and
losing
Continual
improvement
Teamwork Friendship Resilience Self-discipline
to
establish
and
maintain
high
standards

4) Trust to build strong working relationships.

Recognise the special relationship between players, coaches, parents, carers, guardians and the club. Fundamentally, trust and strong working relationships are built on everyone’s understanding of the mutual benefit between the individual, team and club - which is also the basis for promoting loyalty.

5) Leading by example

We encourage our coaches, managers, trustees, volunteers, and players to lead by example, not fear. For example, leading by example includes the ability to:

Build trust Work withgood energy Work withyour team Follow the rules
Trustyour team Commit togrowth Monitoryour actions Listen to others

The most leading by fear can hope for is compliance, which may often be temporary.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Achievements and performance

The Charity has continued to deliver against its objectives by providing basketball opportunities both on and off the court at community and elite levels across Greater Manchester and surrounding areas.

During the year, the organisation achieved a number of significant successes, including winning national league and cup competitions, supporting players who represented their countries, and helping athletes obtain basketball scholarships to universities in the United States.

At grassroots level, over 500 children and young people aged 4–18 participated in basketball activities and regular physical exercise. Participants came from a broad range of backgrounds, creating opportunities to build friendships, develop confidence and skills, and enjoy basketball in an inclusive and supportive environment.

Volunteers have continued to make an important contribution to the Charity’s activities, while also benefiting from valuable experience, training, and qualifications. In addition, community events and sporting activities have helped promote basketball locally and encouraged wider community engagement with the sport.

The Directors and Trustees would like to express their appreciation for the ongoing support received through donations and fundraising, which enables the Charity to continue delivering positive opportunities and outcomes for young people and the wider community.

Looking ahead, the Charity will focus on the following priorities to strengthen long-term sustainability and growth:

The Directors and Trustees recognise that there are opportunities to secure additional funding in the future; however, they are also mindful that some existing funding streams may decline. Ongoing cost-of-living pressures and increasing competition within the local market mean the Charity must continue to adapt, manage resources carefully, and plan strategically to ensure it can continue achieving its charitable objectives.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Financial review

The main source of income has been from Match Day and monthly Subs £128,996 (2024 - £140,184), Health and Fitness Club fees £60,156 (2024 - £54,003), Coaching Fees £32,100 (2024 - £31,361), Use of Sports Hall was £15,790 (2024 - £9,020)

Property income has decreased £18,200 (2024 - £20,206) as it is now just their own 1 property which they let

privately.

The total income for the period was £316,085 (2024 - £343,028) with the other main sources of income being grants of £46,603 (2024 - £73,670) and donations £6,187 (2024 - £286). Additional income in the period came from Centre Events and Merchandise Sales, however there was no sponsorship and tournaments and courses this year £2,920 (2024 - £12,093).

Income was higher overall in 2024 as there were more grants etc.

Total expenditure in the period amounted to £301,173 (2024 - £343,191)

The charity incurred a profit for the period of £14,912 (2024 - deficit of £163)

The unrestricted fund balance at the end of the period was £492,955 (2024 - £478,043).

There was a balance on restricted funds of £2,250 at the year end (2024 - £5,250). Grants had been received from the Peter Harrison Foundation towards the purchase of a new mini-bus for the charity.

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to three month's expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the directors see fit.

The directors have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Structure, governance and management

The company is limited by guarantee. It therefore does not have share capital and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

The company is controlled by its board of directors which is made up of people who are sympathetic to the activities of the charity.

The trustees met three times for board meetings during the financial year.

The day to day running of the basketball centre and accommodations was delegated to Samantha Longley on 10th January 2023.

Trustees retiring at the annual general meeting can then put themselves forward for re-election. Trustees are then voted for by those members in attendance.

Suggestions for new trustees are brought before the board. Suggestions are made based on how an individual may enrich the charity with their personal skill set. If agreed that person is then approached and asked if they are willing to undertake the role of Trustee for Greater Manchester Community Basketball and Sports Association Limited. Documented appointment procedures are then followed.

None of the directors received any remuneration for their services to the company during the year.

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Greater Manchester Community Basketball and Sports Association Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Manchester Basketball Centre, Wilbraham Road, Manchester, M16 8GW.

1.1 Accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

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

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

1.4 Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

1.5 Resources expended

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 are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

GREATER MANCHESTER COMMUNITY BASKETBALL AND SPORTS ASSOCIATION LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Resources expended are included in the statement of financial activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Land and buildings 2% straight line Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% straight line Motor vehicles 20% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs 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.

GREATER MANCHESTER COMMUNITY BASKETBALL AND SPORTS ASSOCIATION LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 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.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’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.
