BLUECOAT SPORTS TRUSTEES, REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 Provid8 facllities to local schods, local authority org8nlsations and charities for tha purposes of physical educahon and training for personal and teamwork developn78nt Bluecoats continues lo be popular with local schools and comrnunity clubs, such as the Horsham- based Ready and Able Club, Horsham Hookey and Southwater Royals football club, along with Wamham Village Primary School and Amphibians triathlete8. Bluecoat8' facllities are used by 31 local clubs and groups. All of the88 users benefitfrom discounted rates.

In addltion, all adult exerclse classes, children's courses and cla$se5 {including swimming lesgonsl are open to the gener81 public al PriGes set in accordance with the local market. Leisure f8cilities across the country were severely impacted by thè nallon81 lockdowns In the year and Bluecoats wa8 no dlfferent. This resulted in the complete closure of the facilities for four months (November 2020, January 2021, February 2021 and March 2021) with 8 gradual reopening to July 2021. For 8 second year, this inevitably affected the ability of Bluecoats lo engage with its members and the wider community. It is believed that thls engagemont can be re-bullt. but the speed at which It can be achieved remains uncertain. PUBLIC BENEFIT In setting our objectives and plannlng our acllvltl88 the Trustees have glven careful conslderation lo the Charity Commission's gener81 guidanc6 on public benefit and in particular to Its supplementary public benefit guldance on advanclng educallon and fee ch8rglng. The fe8 charged to Christ's Ho8pltal is di8counte(I by 25% (circa £100k) In compari80n to the comrnercial rate and there are no addition81 charges to pupils who use the facilities for soclal activities whlch include use of the fitness suite, soc1 areas and sports hall8. In 2020-21, only 22 /0 of puplls attending Chrlsl's Hospital paid full fees, 3Yo received yt8ff discounts, 110/0 attended at no co81 and the remaining 64'/D made a contribution whlch, In most cases, was far below the full fee. Bluecoats thus delivers public benefit in m8king its facilities available to these pupils, none of whom are ch8rged directly for their u88 of the Centre, either as part of the curriculum or outside school hours. Membership fees for the community are on 8 Par with local leisure facilities and non-members are able to attend many of the activilios for a small charge which is comparable with local leisure facilities. Local community group8 also benefi't from substsntlal discounts compared lo the commercial rate with significant discounts forthe Ready and Able Club which pays 5 /0 of the commercial rate. Agaln, Bluecoats delivers public benefit in making its facilities available to the members of these groups. none of whom are charged directly for their use of the Centre.

Flnanclal sustolnablllty Whlle Bluecoats has develop8d 8 tried and tested programme wlth the School over many years 8nd built UP 8 Strong local brand and member Ioy8lly, the complete closure of the facility for a significant period has, as should be oxpected. a significant flnancial impact. Th8 period of re-opening has b6en encouraging. wlh membership numbers starting lo recover and a strong gen8e th8t 81uecoats had emerged from the lockdown period In better shape than many of its local compelilors. At the tlme of approval of the Annual Report, fa¢lors rem8in Ihal may have an impact on Bluecoats, in common with other businesses, over 8 number of years. Those factors include the ongoing pandemic and rlsing inflation. Whilst the impact Is unknown, the Board has reviewed the posltion carefully with a view to ensure that Blueco8tS C8n continue to provide vital sporting facilities for the School and to the general public. Finenclal plans have been reforecast, covering a period to 31 August 2023. Conservative Cash flow modelling with sensitivity analysis, inGluding a worst case scenario of a further period of lockdown, indicates that the cash SerVeS of Bluecoat8 are adequate to meet the chafltable company's obligations as they fall due. Accordingly, the Board believes that 8luecoats can continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 monlhs from the dale of approval of the financial statements and have therefore prepared the financial ststements on a going concern basis.

BLUECOAT SPORTS STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 We obtained an understanding of the legal end regul8tory framewoths wthin vthich the ch8ritsble comp8ny operate5, focusing on those 18W8 and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 together with the Charities SORP IFRS 1021. We a888ssed the required compliance wslh these laws and regulation8 as part of our audll procedLsres on the lated flnancial statem&nt items. In 8ddilion, w8 considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do rnt have 8 direct effect on the financial slalements bul compliance with which might be fundamental lo the charitable company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty- We also considered the opportunities and inc8ntlV85 that may exist wthin the charllable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we consid8red In this contgxl for the UK operatlons were General Data Protecllon Regulatlon and health and safety18gislBtion. Auditing stsnd8rds limlt the required audit procedures to idonlify non-compliance wlth these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Tnjstees and other management and insp8clion of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. We id8ntlfi8d the greatest rlsk of materI81 Impact on the financial ststements from irregularitie8. Including fraud, to be within the liming of recognition of Iome and th8 overrid8 of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquirie8 of management, and the Audit & Risk Committee about their own identificatlon and asse88menl of the ri8k8 of irregularities. sample lestlng on the posting of journal$. reviewing accounting estimates for biases. reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commlsslon, and readlng minutes of meetlngs of those charged wSth governance. Owlng to the inherent limitations of an audll, th8re is an unavoldable risk Ihal we may not have detected 80me material misslatemenls in the financial statements. even though we have prop8dy planned and perfomied our audit In accordanco with auditing slandards. For example, the further removed non-compli8nce wllh laws and r8gulations {irregularities) Is from the events and transactions reflected Sn the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures roquired by auditing standards would identfy it. In addltion, as wlh any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-det8Ction of irregularities. 88 these may involve collusion, forgery, Intentional omission8, mISrepSetations, or the ovethde of internal contro18. We are not responslble for prgvenling nonwcompliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance wlth all laws and regulatlons.
