The maln focus of Bluecoat8' activit18s remains Ihe provision of sporting facilltles to Christ'8 Hospital
lo support the health and wellbeing of Sts pupi18. Approximately 58.10 of the lime available In th9 core
facilitie5 {pool, fitness suite, sports hall and gymnasium) is taken up by Christ's Hospltal during term
time.
Pupi18 of Christ's Hospit81 have achieved some notable 8u¢¢e8888 during this academic yoar. All of

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.
Promote physical health and fltness amongst the wider community
Bluecoal$ provides servlces lo approximately 2,720 members from the local community. 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, soc￿1 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.

The Board is responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Charitable Company.
Detailed considerations of risk are delegated to senior staff. Risks are identifled, assessed arKI
contro15 established throughout the year. A formal r8view of the Charitable Company's risk
management pro¢e$ses is undertaken on an annual basis.
The key controls include..
Strategic planning, budgeting and management 8ccounting',
Established organisatlonal and govemance structure and lines of reporting..
Fomial written policies.,
Formal agendas for Board activity,. and
Hierarchical 8Uthorisation and approval18vels.
In additlon, the Tru51oes are commltted lo safeguardlng and promollng the welfare of children and
young peop18 and we expect all stsff and volunteers to share this commitment. All successful
C8ndid8tes musl consent for Bluecoat8 to seek Iwo written references and musl provide
documentary proof of qualifications and proof of their idenlily. Any offer of employment is conditional
on all of these being s81i$factory.
Prlnclpal rlsk8 and uncortalntle8
The principal rlsk8 facing 81uecoats relate to the health and safety of the pupils and membèrs and
the Welfa￿ of the pupils. Robust procedures. wlth regular checks and balanc88, are in plac8 to
ensure that thes8 risk5 are minimised.
Through the risk man8gement proces888 8Stabllshed by Bluecoats, the Trustees are Satisfied that
the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated. It ig recognised that systems can only
provide reasonable bul nol absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
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.

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 I￿ome 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
