The Trustees give their time voluntarily and the only benefit they receive from the Charlty is access to the KAL staff membership scheme, in line with all other volunteers working with KAL, allowing low cost ac55 to the leisure facilities managed by the Trust, which is felt to be appropriate given the form of or8anisation and the need for Trustees to be aware of the services provided. In line with KAL'S conflict of interest's pollcy, Memorandum and Artlcles of Association and following discussion at the July 2022 KAL Board meeting, it was agreed that one of the Trustees should be allowed to receive financial reimbursement for facilitation services provided to KAL'S senior staff group.

KIRKLEES AcfivE LEISURE14331165) 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEE5' REPORT (INCLUDING DIREcfoRS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) Trustees receive specific training on an ongoing basis to enable them to take part in activities such as policy development, strategic planning and health & safety. Several Trustees have completed the IOSH (Chartered Institute of Occupational Safety & Health) Managing Safely for Senior Executives course over recent years. At the annual Trustees half away day, in November 2023, the Trustees took part in workshops led by a specialist Charities lawyer concerning decision making and Board effectiveness. Board performance review The Trustees had previously undertaken a review of the Charity's governance in June 2017, with areas for improvement identified and now implemented. A further governance review was undertaken, commencing in April 2023, with an improvement plan considered and agreed by the Board at their May 2023 meeting, This included a revised Code of Conduct for the KAL Trustees which was considered and agreed by the Board at their July 2023 meeting, as well as the work5hop5 noted above undertaken at the KAL Trustees half away day, A Trustees ski115 audit was also undertaken with the results fed back to the Board at the half away day. The Chair of Trustees also meets wlth each of the Trustees annually on a 1-2-1 basis, where discussion includes both a review of the last 12 months, the Trustees, commitment and contribution and ways in which the Charity can look to improve further. The template used to 8uide the 1-2-1 discussions was updated as part of the 2023 governance review to ensure how to improve Board performance was discussed. Organisatlon The Board of Trustees, which has up to 12 members, administers the Charity. The Board meets five times a year and there are 4 main sub.groups (Audit; Health & Safety,. Strategic Development,, and Remuneration) together with the wholly owned trading subsidiary Kirklees Active Leisure Tradin8 Limited. Task & finish groups are also formed by the Trustees as necessary, for example a governance review task & finish group was formed in April 2023. A Chief Executive is appointed by the Trustees to manage the day-to-day operatlons of the Charlty. To facilitate effective operations, the Chief Executive has dele8ated authority, within terms of delegation approved by the Trustees, for operational matters including: Finance Information Technology Human Resources Training Marketing Business Development Operational Management Diversity As part of the original 2017 governance review referred to above, actions were agreed/ implemented to further improve the Charity's approach to diversity at Board level. These include: A commitment made by the Board to continue to ensure that, wherever possible, the Board is representative of the views of the Kirklees community Page | 3
KIRKLEES AcfivE LEISURE14331165} 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIREcfoRS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORTI Future Board recruitment will specifically encourage applicants from under-represented groups, with additional support to applicants provided as necessary Diversity training is provided to the Board A statement summarising the Board's work to foster all aspects of diversity is published on the Charity's website. Following the 2023 governance review undertaken it was further agreed to report upon the following aspects.. That KAL achieved the Inclusive Employers - Bronze standard in October 2022, with a subsequent action plan continuing to be progressed. That summary demographic information relating to KAL'S workforce and customer base are considered at each KAL Board meeting. That a commitment is included from the KAL Board on the main KAL website to work towards becoming demographically representative. As of March 2024. the KAL 8oard Included 10 Trustees, three of which were female and three of which were Sikhs. KAL remains committed towards continuing to positively progress our approach towards bein8 an inclusive employer, encouraging a workforce and Board of Trustees that reflect the demographic of the local community. Employment of disabled persons Disabled persons are employed and trained whenever their aptitudes and abilities allow and Suitable vacancies are available, with reasonable adjustments made as necessary to support disabled people appointed by the Charity. Where an employee becomes disabled, a considerable attempt is made to continue their employment, if at all possible, to make all reasonable adjustments and to arrange appropriate re-training or transfer to an alternative role if necessary. Employee involvement KAL introduced a new and improved 121 system for staff in Autumn 2022, which was then reviewed with a revised version introduced from September 2023. This is considered a key staff communication tool, to try to consider and support the overall health & wellbeing of staff, their career development and so forth, Regular team meetin8S take place, both at each KAL site and across the Head Off ice teams. The annual staff survey was again undertaken in Spring 2023, providing useful feedback to be considered and used to lrnprove engagement with staff where possible. The staff survey included feedback that 84% of staff would recommend KAL as a good place to work, with an overall staff satisfaction rating of 7.32, higher than any rating since 2016. Further staff roadshows were undertaken in June 2023, which were attended by a range of staff from across the organisation. providing the opportunity for staff to receive updates regarding the Charity and to take part in workshop se55ion5. Regular "KAL Comms" general communication article5 continued to be provided to staff on a regular basis, with focused HR support continuing to be given to the more vulnerable staff members. Any staff recruited to KAL also received the KAL corporate induction to try to help them effectively onboard. However. as noted elsewhere within the annual report, 2023124 was an extremely challenging year for KAL given the continuing major expenditure pressures facing the Charity due to increasing staff costs, linked to increases in the National Living Wage INLWI; significantly higher energy costs; and overall high inflation leading to increased supplier costs. The position was also then significantly further impacted by Pagel 4
KIRKLEES AcfivE LEISURE (43311651 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEES, REPORT IINCLUDING DIREcfoRS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORTI the major reduction in available Council funding support from 2023124 into 2024125, where Kirklees Council financial support for KAL was to reduce from £6.Im to £2.55m. Collectively these financial pressures required the Charity to take some very difficult decisions to rationalise the organisation and the services that KAL was able to provide. Sadly, this led to the loss of some 100 staff roles over the course of 2023/24, through a significant redundancy process, which proved to be very unsettling for the whole organisation. The redundancy process required the statutory collective consultation with KAL employees and the recognised unions and ongoing detailed engagement with individual staff as redeployment roles were considered where possible, before voluntary and then, unfortunately, compulsory redundancy options were developed. Related Partles The Charity works closely with Kirklees Council which provides funding and the lease of assets to the Charity for the provision of leisure services. Whilst it has a 19.9% share of representation on the Charitls Board, the Councll does not have any control over the Charity, its a55ets or the manner in which It operates on a day-to-day basis. The Charity's wholly owned subsidlary, Klrklees Actlve Leisure Trading Limited I"KALf'}, was established to carry out non-charitable tradin8 activities for the Charity. The company gift aids any surplu5 prof its made to the Charity. In the year ending March 2024, KALT made a pre-tax profit of £37,78612023: £10,960 pre-tax profit) and made a gift aid payment back to the parent Charity of £34,00012023'. £17,400} resulting in a £2,844 profit after the gift aid and tax on profit (2023: £5,143 Ioss). Objects and Actlvltles The Objects of the Charity are.. 'To provide or 0sSlSt in the provision of facilities ond services for recreation or other leisure time occupation, primorily in Kirklees but olso in the wider area, in the interests of positive sociol welfore for the public benefit, and to promote ond protect the good physical and mental health ond wellbeing of those persons using such focilities and services," The Objects of the Charity contribute to a range of charitable purposes, as outlined withln the Charities Act 20)6, as follows. Durlng 2023124, as noted above, the Charity faced an especially challen8in8 period due to the 51gnificant expenditure pressures impacting upon the Charity, combined with the major reduction in available Council funding support available for the followin8 financial year {2024125) and beyond. This required a major re-modelling of KAL'S financial model, including, unfortunately, the closure of several leisure facilities and the loss of c.100 staff members. Charitable pu rpose The advancement education Example of activity The Charity delivers the local school swimming service to 146 local schools. The new, more intensive programme introduced in 2021122, with longer swim lesson sessions over fewer weeks, has proved to be successful, with outcomes improving slightly once again based upon early 2023124 data. The school swimming service was impacted upon during 2023/24 with the closure of Dewsbury Sports Centre in September 2023 due to RAAC Pa8e | 5
KIRKLEES AcfivE LEISURE (4331165) 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) Charitable purpose Fxample of activity (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated concretel, following the earlier closure of Batley Baths & Recreation Centre (since December 20221 and the temporary closure of Colne Valley Leisure Centre swimming pool {December 2022 April 20231. All schools using the seNice were successfully relocated to alternative venues, however travel times to/from school increased for some. The service has begun to move from a 4 towards a 5 sessions per swimming pool model to both increase capacity as well as reduce transport costs. KAL'S own learn to swim swimrnlng lesson programme was also negatively impacted by the above site closures, as well as the dosure of the Stadium Health & Fitness Club site in December 2023. KAL swimming lesson numbers have therefore reduced from c.7iJ)J young people taking part in regular swimming lessons in March 2023 to now 6023 as of March 2024. KAL aim to grow the number of swimming lesson customers back to a new capacity of some 65(Kl over the months ahead. KAL continued to provide a tennis coachin8 programme, offerin8 tennis developrnent opportunities for young people. All artivities were again available to all 8roups of the local community, with pricing discounts provided via KAL'S Flexi-card scheme and the local Kirklees Passport scheme. KAL staff undertook training in a wide range of aspects, including health & safety, safeguarding, KAL'S corporate induction, revised site inductions, equality, diversity & inclusion, conflict management, etc., as well as further ongoing training for frontline staff and higher-level trainin8 provided for managers via the National Pool Managers and National Pool Supervisors Qualifications. Higher level apprenticeshlp programmes were also completed by some staff. KAL continued to progress our strategic direction as a preventative health & wellbelng provider, to encourage the inactive to be active and appeal to a wider customer base. A number of core product5 continued to be delivered. including exercise referral schemes and a recommendation scheme, "First Steps To Fitness" which targeted those who had been Inactive for at least the previous 12 months and provided them with a more supportive induction process to make use of the KAL sites and to hopefully embed the healthy habit of being more physically active. Targeted demographic approaches were also introduced for prelpost natal women "Moving Mums" and older people, where the range of KAL products suitable for these population groups were packaged together and promoted through a range of local agencies. Outcome data from the above products is being collected, with initial feedback positive regarding the impact upon the health & well being of the individuals involved. KAL continues to develop our partnership with the University of The advancement of health Page | 6

Placements, health checks, the development of a joint PhD role, etc are all continuing to be progressed. KAL is also engaging at a West Yorkshire level with West Yorkshire leisure operators, health contacts, Universities and the Yorkshire Sport Foundation to try to develop a more coordinated approach to preventive health & wellbeing approaches within leisure centre settings. Due to the financial pressures facing KAL and the local authority, and the subsequent need for KAL to rationalise the service it could provide, the Council undertook a major leisure centre consultation exercise in Autumn 2023. The consultation received the largest number of responses ever made to the local authoritv for such an exercise, with over 17k responses. Many responses received were positive about the servlce being provided and the role of KAL in delivering health & wellbeing opportunities for local people. Support received from the consultation together with KAL'S financial re-modelling allowed for a more limited rationalisation of facilities provided to be required, allowing important local health & wellbeing service5 and, importantly employment opportunities, to be retained. Free fitness membership for Care Leavers and targeted other individuals continues to be rovided. The Charity continues to work closely with several Significant local sports clubs that make use of the facilities managed by the Charity. This includes athletics clubs; a range of swimming clubs; a tennis club; a golf club,. and a major local community football club (Howden Clough AFC). KAL is a key partner on the local strategic partnership for sport and wider physical activity. "Everybody Active" and the Kirklees Active Schools sub-group. KAL also hosts local multi-sports VCS organisations, assisting them where possible. However, given KAL'S continulng difflcult financial position and reduced facility and staff capacity. much of this work is at risk, with KAL having to make some difficult decisions in terms of available space and the costs which are charged to 3 party organisations, which have had to be increased significantly. Reductions continue to be provided for 3, parties that hold appropriate quality marks to try to encourage these to be retained. Reducing C02 ernissions and being as efficient as possible with energy consumption continues to be a key component of KAL'S approach, with considerable investment continuing to be made to ensure energy use and emissions remain low for the type of organisation and facilities operated. Energy pressures in particular for KAL'S swimming pool facilities The advancement of citizenship and communitv development The advancement amateur sport The advancement environmental protection or improvement Pa8el 7
KIRKLEES ACTIVE LEISURE (4331165) 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIREcfoRS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) Charitable purpose Ixample of activitv continues to be a major challenge for the Charity which has added considerable strain to the Charit¢s financial position and has now led to the closure of three swimming pool sites since December 2022- Batley Baths & Recreation Centre (December 20221; Dewsbury Sports Centre (September 20231; Stadium Health & Fitness Club (December 20231. Discounted pricing, accessible facilities and the breadth of activity opportunity on offer ensure that KAL is accessible to various customer groups across the Kirklees communitv. Examples include the free fitness membership offer highlighted above for Care Leavers, etc, while the Charity also support worthy local groups, such as wlth disadvantaged young parents and their families from the local Home-start group and supporting them to make use of their local leisure facilities. KAL'S support of the Uniform Exchange scheme, where collection points in KAL sites allow customers to pass to Uniform Exchange school uniforms to re-cycle, and of the local Forget Me Not Children'5 Hospice and Kirkwood Hospice are further examples of where KAL support those in need. Successful older people's activity groups are in place at several of the KAL managed sites (Batley Sports & Tennis Centre, Colne Valley Leisure Centre and Huddersfield Leisure Centrel. A disability sports club meets weekly at Huddersfield Leisure Centre, while KAL'S support of the Kirklees Passport scheme allows heavily reduced cost access to the leisure centres, with the ability for a plus I to support where required. However, the major financial challenges that have Impacted upon KAL durin8 2023124 and the subsequent facility closures of major leisure facilities in areas of particular disadvantage li.e. Batlev Baths & Recreation Centre and Dewsbury Sports Centrel, a5 well as the further financial need to reduce the opening hours at a further site in an area of disadvantage {i.e. Dei8hton Sports Arena reduced to 21 hours opening / weekl have reduced the ability of the Charity to provide local seNices for those living in areas of disadvantage. Despite this, c.21Ph of KAL customers continue to be from the lowest 20% IMD Ilndex of Multiple Disadvantage} area. The relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage Our strategy for meetlnE our Charltable Purposes KAL'S Vision "Improving Health & Wellbeing- was agreed as part of KAL'S corporate strategy, which was approved by the KAL Board in January 2020, with implementation delayed, due to Covid-19, originally until January 2021, but subsequently, given the extended lockdown, from January 2021 to mid-April 2021. The Vision signifies the change of direction that the Charity was looking to make over the coming years, with much more of a focus on preventative health & wellbein& encouraging new customer group5 to make use of the sites and products the Charity provides. KAL identifies two headline challenges within it5, corporate strategy - Page18
KIRKLEES AcfivE LEISURE {43311651 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) By 2025 KAL will achieve a Customer Satisfaction Index score of 81 or more By 2025 KAL will have remained financially sustainable Given Covid-19 and its, impact upon KAL'S finances and now. the considerable impact of high energv prices, ongoing major increases in staffing costs and the high rate of inflation, the second headline challenge regarding KAL remaining financial sustainable has not been possible without the significant financial support from Kirklees Council. However, the Council have now informed KAL that the level of financial support available for the Charity will significantly reduce into 2024125 due. largely, to the Council's own challenging financial position. This led KAL to undertake a major rationalisation exerclse durin8 2023124, with the closure of several facilities. considerable reductions in KAL staff numbers and the KAL Head Office moving from the Stadium Health & Fitness Centre to Huddersfield Leisure Centre, a significant saving in itself due to the commercial rental bein8 char8ed at the Stadium site. KAL Is now confldent that the new operatin8 model developed will be a more viable one given the reduced level of local authority financial support, with expenditure costs significantly reduced and income levels proportionately retained with an ability to be grown further over the months ahead. The Strategy has 3 Airns: l. Puttin8 People First {Service) KAL recruits and retains great staff, offerin8 a first-class rewards package and striving to provide employees with the learning and skills they need. KAL offers excellent customer service to our customers, helping them reach their activity goals and make the most of their leisure time, within a high quality, safe environment. 2. Helping More People become More Actlve (Produrts) KAL is a major contributor to improving the health and wellbeing of local communities through the promotion of healthy lifestyle choices, by providin8 a range of fantastic opportunities and developing specific interventions for harder to reach groups, to encourage more people to get and stay active. KAL will review and develop quality products, services and systems that collectively provide an unbeatable activity offer. 3. Delivering Buslness Excellence (Operations) As a key anchor institution, KAL supports the Kirklees economy as a major employer of local people, especially under 25's, while also working with local suppliers where possible. KAL will continue to operate as efficiently as possible, offering great value for money, ensurin8 robust financial plannin& resource, sustainability and energy management. investing in the local leisure facilities we look after. Ensuring our work delivers our Strategic Aims The 2021-2025 KAL Corporate Strategy and the 3 Aims above try to ensure that the Charity remains focused on delivering against its stated purpose and Objects where possible. Pa8el 9
KIRKLEES AcfivE LEISURE (4331165) 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIREcfoRS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) We refer to the Charity Commission's general guidarbce on public benefit when reviewing our Strategic Aims and in further developing the Corporate Strategy and the activities that we plan to deliver in the future. The Trustees are satisfied that the planned activities and services of the Charity will continue to positively contribute towards the Objects and purpose of the Trust. How our activities deliver public benefit The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance relating to public benefit in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake. Our main activities and the customer groups we provide services for are outlined below. All of our charitable activities are focused on the development of opportunities for taking part in healthv recreation and sport within facilities available for the general public. Who used and beneflted from our servlce57 The facilities operated by the Charity continued to receive more than 2.5m million customer visits from acro55 the entire community spectrum of Kirklees during 2023124, with a reduction of only some 17k customer visits from 2022123, a major achievement given the Closu of several leisure centres and the challenging disruption of the Council's leisure centre consultation exercise during Autumn 2023. Emphasls continues to be given to "target groups" within the local community, to actively encourage them to take part in the range of health & wellbeing activities available acr05S the KAL managed sites and to receive the associated mental and physical health benefits of such involvement. Groups particularly targeted to use the Charity's facilities include the followin8: Older people {60+) Young people lup to age 161 Women and girls Those with a disability The financially disadvantaged There are no restrictlons on who can make use of the facilities provided by the Charitv. Fees are charged for most activities that take place within the Charlty's facilities, however, while fees have had to be reconsidered and increased where necessary due to the financial position of KAL, a range of specific programmes and concessionary rate5 continue to be made available and actively promoted to try to encourage participation and ensure that the services provided are affordable to everyone. A key means of doing this is the acceptance of the Council's "Kirklees Passport" at all sites operated by the Charity. which entitles the holder to a significant price discount. Some targeted provision, e.g. fitness memberships for local Care Leavers, are provided completely free of charge. The Charl5 primary activities are the provision of sport5 and leisure facilities and opportunities for the communities in Kirklees and surrounding neighbourhoods to take part in sport and wider physical activity and, therefore improve their health & wellbeing. The main activities provided by the Charity are: Swimming opportunities, including the provision of an extensive lesson programme, considerable school swimming use and use of the sites by the Borough of Kirklees {"BoK"I performance swimming squads and the KAL Swim Performance scheme. The swimming pools Page 110

Fitness Suites, which are accessible to all and offered at a range of pricing levels, making them affordable forthe majority of the local community Exercise Classes, including specialist classes, such as yoga and Pilates A wide range of sports hall activities, including badminton. 5-a-side football, netball, etc. Indoor/ outdoor tennis Outdoor activities, including football, etc. Athletics Track and Field events Golf Family attraction activities, including use of the "Splash Park. leisure water facility at Huddersfield Leisure Centre,. the Footgolf course at Bradley Park Golf Course- the Stompers soft play and TAG X activity produtts at 8atley Sports & Tennis Centre; and the "Immerse" pool inflatable and activity pool offering at Spen Valley Leisure Centre. While the Charity has very limited outreach capacity, it works closely with other local partners, such as Kirklees Council, Third Sector Leaders (Kirkleesl (the umbrella organisation for the local VCSE sector) and Kirklees Youth Alliance, the umbrella organisation for the local VCSE youth providers, to encourage new customer groups to make use of the sites looked after by the Charity. In addition, through the separate subsidiary company, Kirklees Active Leisure Trading Limited IKALTI, a catering and vending service 15 provided by 3rd parties commissioned by KALT. KALT also directly provides a café at one of the Charity's facilities. The Charity is committed to equality of opportunity where possible and works closely with local networks within the statutory and voluntary & community sectors to ensure that there 15 3 CO- ordinated, well-informed approach taken. In October 2022 KAL were awarded the Inclusive Employers Bronze standard award, a fantastlc achievement for the Charity and a demonstration of our commitment to equality, diversity & inclusion and testament to the progress made. An actlon plan is now bein8 progressed to try to ensure the Charity continues to develop this important aspect. In March 2023 KAL achieved ualit 4 Health & Wellbein Accreditation for "excellence in health & wellbeing services" This rigorous external accreditation process provided a thorough review of KAL and confirmed the organisation a5 operating at a hi8h standard. The Charity's relationship wlth Kirklees Council, as KAL'S host authority, has been si8nificantly strained durin8 2023/24 given the reduction in future funding available from the Council, their leisure centre consultation exercise and the need for KAL to quickly propose and implement an alternative model for the much-reduced funding available. KAL'S position as an independent Charity needs to be remembered by the Council and a return to an effective partnership model of working developed again for the benefit of both parties and the local community. Strong partnerships continue with several National Governing Bodies of Sport, the Yorkshire Sport Foundation, Third Sector Leaders - Kirklees, KYA, the University of Huddersfield and a range of other local partners across the public, private and voluntary sectors. KAL is a member of Community Leisure UK, the trade association for leisure and cultural Trusts in the UK and has good and improving links with the current West Yorkshire local authority leisure facility Page | 11

Community cohesion: The Charity operates 5ite5 across the Kirklees district, serving an ethnically and economically diverse population, with a wide cross-section choosing to participate in sport and wider physical activity within the various leisure centres. However, as noted elsewhere in this report and due to the financial challenge facing the Charity and the need to rationalise the level of provision available, given the closure/ reduced opening hours of several of the Charity's facilities since December 2022, the ability of the Charity to impact on local community cohesion in certain areas of Kirklees has significantly reduced. Community development: Many sport and activity clubs make use of the sites operated by the Charity, offering the opportunity for local people to try a range of activities, mix socially and enjoy Page | 12
KIRKLEES ACTIVE LEISURE (4331165) 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIREcfoRS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Through the Charity's proactive links to a wide range of organisations in the local area, KAL supports several community groups to raise the profile of their services, fundraise and improve their sustainability. Again, unfortunately the closure/ reduced opening hours of several KAL sites is likely to reduce the amount of community development that KAL is able to contribute to. Strategic Report Achievement. Performance and Challenges The start of 2023124 saw the Charity successfully re-open the Colne Valley Leisure Centre swimming pool, which had temporarily closed in December 2022, while the Deighton Sports Arena. which had also closed temporarily in December 2022, also re-opened. but on a limited hours basis only. As the financial position continued to be very challengin8 Kirklees Council made KAL aware that their funding support would have to reduce significantly from £6.Im in 2023/24 to £2.55m in 2024125 due to their own considerable financial pressures. This required KAL to re-evaluate our financial model and work towards developing a significantly reduced offer. The Council also instigated their leisure centre public consultation exercise to seek the views of the local community, both custorners and non-users. The consultation included an indication as to whlch sltes it was proposed may need to close, which was worrying for those staff and customer groups in particular. The Council's consultation exercise was met with a huge response, wlth over 17k replies, as well as responses received by a wide range of stakeholders, both locally and from further afield, expressing their support for KAL and the local leisure centre5. In addition, extensive amount5 of RAAC {Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) were discovered within Dewsbury Sports Centre in September 2024, with the Council asking KAL to close the site with immediate effect. The Charity responded proactively to these challenges, developing a new financial model and taking the action necessary to close particular sites, move the Charity's Head Off ice and reduce staff ing numbers. This resulted in a successful in year turnaround, helped by the retention of lar8e numbers of customers from closed sites to the remaining facilities, with some new investment into improved facilities at two of the sites and a range of further invest-2-save energy reduction schemes at several sites, taking place in the final quarter of 2023/24. The final end of year financial position is outlined in detail below but demonstrates an incredibly positive outturn position considering the major challen8es faced, in probably the most demanding year the Charity has ever had. This is a huge endorsement of the ability and dedication of the Charitws Trustees and staff. End of year performance highlights to note included: Aim: Putting People First o Fitness memberships: due to the reduction in leisure facilities, this figure reduced to 18,853 at the end of March 2024 Ifrorn 22,967 at the end of March 20231, however, the level of customer retention wa5 Still a positive given the loss of several sites. Swim lessons: 6023 swim lessons were taking place at the end of 2023124, from 6998 at the end of 2022123. Again, given the level of site closures, this was not considered as major a reduction as might have been expected, with reasonable levels of customer retention. Page | 13

The wholly owned subsidiary, Kirklees Active Leisure Tradin8 Limited, recorded a net profit before taxation and before gift aid of £37,78612022123 £10,960). Investment powers and policy The Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Charity permit the Trustees to Invest the monies of the Charity not immediately required for its purposes, in or upon such investments, securities or property as may be thought fit. Reserves pollcy The Trustees reviewed the reserves policy of the Charity at their meeting of 20 September 2023. The review concluded that to allow the Charity to be managed efficiently and to try to provide a suitable element to ensure uninterrupted service provision, a general reserve should be maintained. The level of reserves held by the Trust should be based on an assessment of the va rious business risks that could affect the Charity. The Trustees agreed at their meeting on 17 July 2024 based upon the assessment of risk an unrestricted general reserve of £900,000 should be held, After full adoption of FRS 102, there is a balance of £4,699,16312022123 £1,510,739). Excluding the pension scheme reserve there is a general unrestricted reserve of £1,130,996 at the end of 202312412022123 £591,749). The Charity has restrirted funds totalling £143,840 at the end of 202312412022123 £135,507). At 31 March 2024, the Charlty has £230,99612022123 £nill unrestricted free reserves. Free reserves are defined by the Charity Commission as unrestricted funds, excludin8 those unrestricted funds which can only be realised by disposin8 of fixed assets, held for the Charity's use. The Trustees are continually seeking ways to improve the level of the general reserve to a suitable level and therefore increase the level of funds for development of the Charity's facilities, Summary of future plans As outlined above, 2023124 was a hugely challenging year for KAL as it had to undertake a major rationalisation of the services provided in order to reduce the Charity's expenditure to reflect the considerable reduction in funding support available from Kirklees Council in 2024125. While the decisions and work undertaken during the year were probably the most difficult, collectively, that the Charity has had to make since its, inception in 2002, the organisation ha5 now emerged frorn this watershed strongly, with a very positive 2023124 final quarter and a stron8 end of year position. The rationalised model with the reduced sites operated and staff employed, as well as a new Head Office base established at Huddersfield Leisure Centre, is now in a positive position to stabilise and then look to grow the Charity once again over the future years. The Charity has retained and is looking to enhance a strong and capable Board of Trustees, has an experienced and hugely capable senior staff team and is now recruiting new Page | 16
KIRKLEES AcfivE LEISURE {4331165) 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) staff once again to reenergise both the Head Office and operational staff teams. Further capital investment is planned for several of the sites, either as essential mechanical & electrical plant items or for further energy saving works to help with the future position of the Charity. The health & wellbeing products and approach of the Charity have been retained and continue to grow, with an increasing and positive body of outcome evidence emerging. Work continues to progress a major pre/post cancer rehab project in pa rtnership with Mid Yorkshire Hospital Trust and Wa kefield Council. A wide range of further efficiencies and development opportunities are being explored, which should help support KAL'S Medium Term Financial Plan, where future years financial challenges remain apparent. The position regarding several of the closed li.e. Batley Baths & Recreation Centre and Dewsbury Sports Centrell reduced operating hours li.e. Deighton Sports Arena) sites needs to be confirmed during 2024125 if at all possible, given the ongoing significant costs relating to each, the very limited customer use of Dei8hton Sports Arena and the major risk to both KC and KAL of unauthorised access/ vandalism to all of these facilities. KAL'S future wlll be impacted upon by two major factors, as well as the range of other rlsks outlined below: UK economic positlon: Inflation needs to significantly reduce to be reflected In lower supplier costs. NLW costs being imposed upon a not-for-profit employer such as KAL who have such a significant workforce are especially challenging. Energy costs also need to stabilise significantly, given the Chaf Ity's facility base and high energy requirements for swimming pools in particular. Hopef ully the Council's move to an alternative utility supplier will help with this position. Klrklees Councll and the level of financlal support affordable to KAL: The local authority face a hugely challen8in8 futu re position themselves and, while short term support frorn the Council remains significant and very welcome into 2024125, it is likely that this will not be able to be continued. KAL will continue to seek a dialogue with the Council about a realistic rate by which further reductions in their financial support can be managed without the major disruption, reputational damage and impart on KAL staff ihat has been seen during 2023124. Given the above, KAL wlll need to continue to monitor the affordable scale of the organisation, both in terms of sites operated and services provided to a level which is viable for the level of income Iboth from customers and as subsidy from the local authority) that can be provided. However, this is now from a stronger startin8 point for the Charity with the major sites which were operating at significant financial 105s now closed to the public or operating on reduced hours and, as lon8 as no further major, unrealistic funding cuts are imposed too quickly, the new KAL model should be able to stabilise and grow to allow for reasonable future reductions in Council funding support while still maintainin8 the level of service now available. Risk Management and Financial Instruments The Trustees continue to review the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, particularly those related to the operation and finances of the Charity. The Corporate Risk Register is reviewed on an approximately six-monthly basis by the main KAL Board, with any new and increasing risks highlighted, as well as the mitigating action being proposed to address these. The Trustees have considered the appropriate policies, procedures and systems to mitigate the Charity'5 exposure to the identified major risks where they can. As of the KAL Board meeting in March 2024, the major corporate risks facing KAL were identified as follows: Page117
KIRKLEES ACTIVE LEISURE (4331165) 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORTI Ref Risk Energy management Comment Given the ongoing conflict in U kraine and, although there is likely to be a reduction as the Council change their energy suppliers over the coming years, the continu ing high market costs of both gas and electricity, then this aspect has a major impact on the cost to operate the Charity's provision, particularly its, swimming pools. Relating to the short/ medium-term financial viability of the Charity and continuing to reflect the need for ongoing financial support from Kirklees Council, which, if to reduce further, needs to be considered in dialogue with KAL and in a measured way if at all possible, to avold further service disruption. Acknowled8ing the ongoing difficult financial position facing KAL. both staff and customers. with energy costs that remain high and the emergence of extensive cost of livin8 pressures for many. Kirklees Council, as KAL'S main partner, also adversely affected. Cost of borrowing reductions would allow KAL the opportunity to develop new Income generating products. Cost of living increases, increasing workloads due to reduced staffing numbers and the need to re-build staff confidence from the recent threat of facility closuresl related redundancies will all increase the risk of a dissatisfied workforce and low levels of morale. While the site is currently closed due to the discovery of RAAC in the wetside part of the site, the Council continue to consider their options before making a final decision, with KAL being requ ired to cover the site safety & secu rity costs. The risk of unauthorised access / vandalism to the site are also a concern. The ongoin8 significant National Livlng Wage increases impacting upon KAL require further job grades to be increased to ensure the salary differential is maintained. Given such a large staffing nu mber such additional costs for a not-for-prof it organisation are challenging. KAL staff salaries remain below those of local authority Staff undertaking equivalent responsibility roles. Noting the continuin8 high level of financial support being provided by the Council even following their major reduction in sUPPOrt from 2023/24 levels to support in 2024/25. The recognition that this is likely to decrease further given the Council's own major financial challenges, but the need for this to be a managed reduction to allow for sites & services to continue to operate if at all possible. Reflerting the high cost of operating swimming pools, the risk that any future pool closures could negatively impact up on school swimming delivery and the emergence of temporary pool operators which may tempt some schools due to the lower costs and reduced time out of school.

KIRKLEES ACTIVE LEISURE (4331165) 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIREcfoRS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) Ref Rlsk Major capital risks Comment A lack of available capital funding from the Council to meet their lease requirements at the Charity's sites. With the Charity, like many others, continuing to struggle to recruit/ retain staff. Customer frustration was evident during the Council's leisure centre consultation exercise, with the subsequent damage this caused to KAL'S reputation. This needs to be re- built, with the planned insourcing of the DD collection process part of this approach. Given the ongoing cost of living crisis and the subsequent impact on customers and their levels of disposable income. This reflects both changes in internal processes and also the risk of the Charity facing cyber-attack.

This considers financial controls in place within a selection of the sites managed by the Charity and across key operational areas. Follow-up audits are then undertaken as necessary. The Charity's principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, trade creditors and trade debtors. The main purpose of these instruments is to raise funds to finance the Charity's operations. Due to the nature of the financial instruments there is no exposure to price risk. The approach to managin8 other risks applicable to the financial instruments concerned is as follows: In respect of bank balances, the liquidity is managed by maintaining credit balances. The Charity makes use of deposit facilities when funds are available. Trade debtors are managed by the regular monitorin8 of amounts outstanding for both time and credit limits. Trade creditors liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts falling due. Auditor The Charity's Auditor's were reconsidered with an approach led by KAL'S Audit Committee and then ratified by the KAL Board at their March 2022 KAL Board meeting, where Simpson Wood were appointed as KAL'S new Auditors from the 2021/22 financial year and have again been commissioned to audit KAL for the 2023/24 financial year. th Thi5 Trustees, Report, including the Strategic Report, was approved by the Board on 18 September 2024 and signed on it5 behalf by: D Stephenson Chair of the Trustees Page | 19

AuditoFs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 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 a88re8ate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Extent to which the audlt was considered capable of deterting Irregularitles Including fraud 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the group and the parent charitable company, including Charities Act 2011, Charities (accounts and Reports) Regulation 2008, Companies Act 2006, data protection and anti-bribery legislation; we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throu8hout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the group's and parent charitable company's financial statements to material mlsstatement, includin8 obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: makin8 enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud: considering the internal controls in place to mitl8ate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and re8ulations and. performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.

KIRKLEES AcfivE LEISURE (4331165) 31 MARCH 2024 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KIRKLEES AcfivE LEISURE In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we desi8ned prOdureS which included, but were not limited to: agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and. enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims. 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. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the Inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Materlal misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. The charity receives grants i n respect of its charitable activities. I ncome from grants is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any perforrnan conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement conditions are not met then these amounts are deferred. Investment Income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes, It includes interest. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method, Id) Expendlture reco8nltlon All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headin8S that a88regate all costs relating to the cate80ry. Expenditure 15 reco8nised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. The analysis of these costs is included in note 7. If) Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost.

KIRKLEES AcfivE LEISURE143311651 31 MARCH 2024 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (g) Impairment of Flxed Assets At each reporting period end date, the company 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 lif any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessin8 value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset lor cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset Is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as revaluation decrease. Reco8nised irnpairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment 1055 subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset {or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset {or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. Ih) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and 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. (l} Investments Investments are measured at cost less impairment. ti) Stocks Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost Is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-movin8 Stock where appropriate. (k) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. Page133
KIRKLEES ACTIVE LEISURE14331165) 31 MARCH 2024 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 11) Provlsions Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated. (m) Leases Assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the expected useful life of the asset. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstandin8 lease liability using the effective interest method. Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. (n) Employee beneflts When employees have rendered sen4ice to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. The charity contributes to a defined benefit plan for the benefit of its employees. A liability for the charity's obligations under the plan is recognised net of plan assets. The net change in the net defined benefit liability is recognised as the cost of the defined benefit plan during the period. Pension plan assets are measured at fair value and the defined benefit obligation is measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method. Actuarial valuations are obtained at least triennially and are updated at each balance sheet date. (ol Tax The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of Schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. The taxation expense In relation to the subsidiary company represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in income and expenditure, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive Income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehenslve income or di rettly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enarted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expense in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of Pa8e | 34
KIRKLEES AcfivE LEISURE (4331165) 31 MARCH 2024 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences. Ip) Financial instruments Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement. as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducti n8 all of its liabilities. (q) Going concern The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, as they believe that no material uncertainties exist. This assessment is based upon Kirklees Council providing the level of fundin8 al ready agreed until 31 March 2025 and the indicative fundin8 for the following years to 31 March 2027. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with this level of funding for the charlty to be able to continue as a going concern.
