## TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note | to the financial statements and comply with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective | January 2019). 

## Objectives and activities 

The charitable objectives of the company in the period under review were that of raising funds for the Legacy XS Community Youth Centre and Skatepark in Richmond Part, Benfleet, Essex. 

The key aims of the Charity are to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the young people of Benfleet and environs. Our approach is a holistic one meeting the needs either directly, through services and facilities provided, or by acting as a network enabler between agencies including schools, social services, police and local authority. 

## Achievements and performance 

In the first half of the year under review, the charity's activities were severely curtailed by the global COVID 19 pandemic. There has also been an ongoing impact with young people not returning as quickly as might have hoped. With the furlough of staff and closure of the Legacy XS Centre for extended periods throughout the first half of the year the charity was unable to continue its normal activities. 

However, the charity continued to raise funds to finance the furlough of staff and received a number of grants from central government to enable us to meet our financial obligations. The day to day activities of the Centre are managed through the charity's subsidiary. 

Two thirds of the Centre is occupied by the 4,500 sq ft indoor Skate park which is used by skateboarders, BMX riders, inline skaters, and mini-scooter riders. The lounge on the ground floor includes large screens, computer games, a pool table and sound system. The Arts suite on the first floor includes a stage and dance floor which, after their return with the lifting of restrictions, has played host to a popular dance school with whom we have a close working relationship. 

The Multi Use Games Area continued to be well used being an outdoor space the use of which was permitted for exercise. Our focus is not primarily on the provision of leisure facilities but rather upon building a sense of community using these facilities as a catalyst for deeper involvement and a sense of belonging and inclusion within a secure and supervised environment. 

## Financial review 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, givenin the toeventwaysofina whichsignificantadditionaldrop infundsfunding,may theybe raised.will beThis ablelevelto continueof reservesthehascharity'sbeen maintainedcurrent activitiesthroughout whiletheconsiderationyear. is Structure, governance and management The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed oftrust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view ofthe state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

## INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

## TO THE TRUSTEES OF LEGACY XS (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) 

## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of Legacy Xs (Limited By Guarantee) (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion, the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended: - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## Conclusions relating to going concern 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation ofthe financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed. we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period ofat least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue, 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

Other information The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and. in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If. based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement ofthis other information, we are required to report that fact. 

- We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## Matters on which we are required to report by exception 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: - the information given in the fmancial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report: or - sufficient accounting records have not been kept: or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records: or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

## Responsibilities of trustees 

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the wustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are tree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements, 

The extent to which our procedures are capable ofdetecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. 

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https://www. frc.org. uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description torms part of our auditor's report.
