As set out in the Memorandum of Articles, the Charity’s Objects are:
To promote community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of Scarborough and visitors to the area by the provision of facilities for indoor sports, recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said beneficiaries
In furtherance of these objects, we provide a community driven space for people to engage in sports and leisure activities that promote physical and mental health and wellbeing and encourage social connections.
Whilst we continue to provide facilities for long and shortmat bowls as well as outdoor crown green bowls, income from bowling alone is not enough to cover the costs of keeping the Centre open. Very much in need of generating new methods of increasing income, we moved on with stage 2 of our development plan this year, which includes expanding the range of sports and leisure activities on offer. After consultation with existing user groups of the Centre, we have built a programme of activities that align with our objectives. New classes include Line Dancing, Hoop dancing, Yogalates and Aerobics classes, which have proved to be very popular and have attracted a crowd of new people through the doors. We have two thriving pool teams, Bob’s junior bowls coaching, a music group and four social bowls sessions each week. We also host a group of disabled bowlers every Saturday morning, five sessions of Slimming World and five hours of Art Therapy per week.
Whilst we continue to struggle with very high energy costs, the addition of our new classes and group activities has significantly helped ease the financial hardship we faced last year.
We could not continue our work without the dedicated team of staff and volunteers who go beyond expectations to support the Centre, and to whom we continue to be incredibly grateful.

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
Alexandra Community Sports and Leisure Centre Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
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 deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
