Trustees' Report

The Trustees present their annual report together with the unaudited financial statements of the group and the charity for the year ending 31 August 2024. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective 1 January 2015).

Since the charity and the group qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.

Our Aims and objectives

a. Strategies for achieving objectives

The company was incorporated on 4th April 2002, and since 1st September 2002 has undertaken the principal objective of the charity, which is the provision of a skatepark leisure facility for public recreation.

It is our aim to provide a safe and secure environment for people in Merseyside to participate in urban activities such as BMX, skateboarding, scooter riding and inline skating; and to be recognised as a leading provider of urban sports in the UK using a range of partnerships to become a sustainable organisation.

It is the Trustees' intention in the future to continue and further improve the activities of the park, and to undertake new projects away from the park.

b. Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit

To provide and co-ordinate, in the interests of social welfare, facilities for the recreation and other leisure time occupation for young people in Merseyside so as to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities.

To promote other such charitable purposes that can be appropriately carried on, in conjunction with the activities carried on, pursuant to the first object mentioned above.

Achievements and performance

a. Key financial performance indicators

Our aims are to:

b. Factors relevant to achieve objectives

During the past year the park management, supported by the trustees, has prioritised the enhancement of the provision of a range of experiences for the athletes.

During this time the retail aspect of the charity has been streamlined in order to keep the sales and profit margins competitive maintaining the brand as a market leader.

We are still committed to the charities aim of supporting and leading in the local community. Rampworx has always striven to support the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of all clients, making a real difference to real people. The sponsorship of local kids is the epitome of this aim. Although we are still experiencing the after effects of Covid, we have focused heavily on re-engagement within the local community.

It remains the trustees' intention to be creative in its approach to the diversification of the park. Looking for funding, tapping into the sport on an international level with the Olympics, and ensuring that all outreach opportunities, however slight, are pursued. This ensures the public presence of the park locally, nationally and internationally.

Financial Review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Principal funding

The principal funding is income from the skate park and retail sales by the subsidiary company.

Structure, governance and management

Independent Examiner

Graeme O'Callaghan ACA 300 St Mary's Road, Garston, Liverpool, L19 0NQ

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

Rampworx Youth Village 2000 Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024

1 Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice along with the requirments of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2005).

Rampworx Youth Village 2000 meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The statement of financial activities (SOFA) and balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.

No separate SOFA has been presented for the charity alone as permtted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.

1.2 Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised.

1.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probably 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 allocated on the portion of the assets use.

1.4 Basis of consolidation

The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Rampworx Youth Village 2000 and all of its subsidiary undertakings ('subsidiaries').

The charity has taken advantage of the exemption contained within section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its own income and expenditure account.

1.5 Intangible fixed assets and amortisation

Intangible assets costing £nil or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost net of amortisation and any provision for impairment.

8

Rampworx Youth Village 2000 Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024

1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:

1.7 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading 'Gains/(losses) on investments' in the statement of financial activities. Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

1.8 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

1.9 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

1.10 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.11 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of threee months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.12 Liabilities

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

9

Rampworx Youth Village 2000 Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024

1.13 Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.

1.14 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the chairty for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
