INSPIRING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES
CHAIR'S INTRODUCTION - ANNUAL REVIEW for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
It is with an immense sense of pride that I reflect on what the Charity has achieved in the last twelve months. Having completed the transfer of services back to Wigan Council, the core team retained have shown enormous dedication to develop new ways of working that build effective partnerships, safeguarding the delivery of services and protecting against the ongoing effects and changing expectations resulting from Covid.
We have continued to seek opportunities to invest in our leisure offer and this year we have seen significant investment at Rugeley Leisure Centre in Cannock Chase. The facility has undergone a complete refurbishment of the pool hall, a new state-of-the-art, outdoor 3G artificial grass pitch, with low energy LED floodlights (commissioned in conjunction with Cannock Chase District Council and the Football Foundation), new flooring in the centre's two squash courts and extended car parking facilities with electric vehicle charging points.
Thanks to the support of the Cultural Recovery Fund (Arts Council) we have also been able to invest in our Arts and Heritage services. Focussing on new ways to engage people we have developed both our digital offer and ways to attract people to outdoor activities.
We were also proud to host the National Schools Shooting Championships, welcoming 300 young athletes and a host of British shooting sport stars. The event saw the UK's very best pistol and air rifle competitors, aged 11-18, representing over 140 schools at the two-day event at the centre. In collaboration with British Shooting, we were able to extend the event and introduce local students to the sport. As a personal highlight from the year, I'm already looking forward to next years competition.
The recovery and progress achieved over the last 12 months would not have been possible without the valued support and commitment of the Board. I'd like to thank Della Bartle, Paul Moss, David Lythgoe, Jenny Meadows, David Newman and Sue Price who retired from the Board during the year, having ensured the safe transformation of the organisation. I'd also like to thank Gareth Cross who, in his role as Chair for many years, demonstrated a devotion to the success of the organisation in supporting residents to live active and healthy lives.
Looking forward, I would like to thank our new Board members who have already contributed their expertise to help shape and guide the governance and strategic direction of the charity alongside our other Board members.
After 17 years with the charity, Pete Burt retired from his role as Managing Director handing over the reigns to long term colleague and Deputy Managing Director, Chris Derbyshire. Pete's contribution to the organisation has ensured it is now recognised both locally and nationally as a trusted partner of leisure and cultural services. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank him for his leadership of the organisation which has seen it grow geographically into the Selby and Cannock Chase Districts and working with partners, investment into facilities and programmes ensuring the charity continues to deliver the very best for the residents it serves. I look forward to working with Chris in his new role and am confident that under his direction the charity will continue to grow its impact and reach, and will work with our partners to seek opportunities to improve access to products and services.
Darren Wood, Chair of Trustees

Financial review
Results for the year
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the Charity Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS102 SORP) (effective 1 January 2019) and covers the activities of Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles (formerly Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust). The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) shows the gross income from all sources and the split of activity between restricted, designated and unrestricted funds.
Total funds of the charitable company have increased due in part to actuarial pension gains (see note 23) and amount to a surplus of £4,542,735 as at 31 March 2022 (2021: deficit £1,698,572) representing unrestricted funds surplus of £1,928,127 (2021: deficit £4,449,230), which includes designated fund surplus of £928,540 (2021: £600,000), pension surplus of £345,000 (2021: deficit £5,562,000) and general unrestricted funds surplus of £654,587 (2021:surplus £512,770). Restricted (including endowment) funds surplus totalled £2,614,608 (2021: surplus £2,750,658).
The statement of financial activities shows that there were net incoming resources before movements in the valuation of investments and actuarial gains for the charitable company for the financial year amounting to £3,701,307 (2021: net outgoing £1,332,769). This includes exceptional pension adjustments relating to the effect of settlements within the GMPF of £5,486,000 (exceptional income) and restriction of the NYPF asset by £1,698,000 (exceptional expenditure).
The Trust met its social and business objectives and through a combination of proactive management and a committed workforce, the worst impact of the adverse economic conditions was mitigated.
Reliance on other parties
The charitable company continues to rely heavily on national and local government policies for contract income.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review
Investment policy and objectives
Bearing in mind the charitable company's commitment to effective stewardship of resources, the Trust has endorsed an investment policy that allows for £1,500,000 to be invested in structured products with the balance of resources being invested in Public Sector Reserve accounts. Structured products are traded on the markets but guarantee, to various degrees, a return of capital invested. However, under the SORP, these investments are valued at market price rather than capital value, and on that basis a gain on revaluation has been recorded for 2021/22.
Reserves policy
The charitable company's reserves policy was reviewed in June 2018. It was agreed that it was appropriate to seek to maintain a level of general unrestricted reserves (excluding surpluses / deficits on pensions) of £1 million. The purpose of those reserves is to safeguard against both any significant loss of funding and any unforeseen adverse circumstances and to thereby facilitate the continuance of the delivery of the charitable company's stated objectives.
The breakdown of reserves held are detailed above.
Going concern
Following on from a significant unprecedented period of business operational uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021/2022 financial year has proven to be a slow but more stable operating environment for the Charity to continue its business recovery.
Restrictions continued to impact on the opening and operation of facilities for the first quarter of the financial year, with full restrictions only being lifted by Central Government in June 2021.
The Charity continued to take advantage of all national and local government financial support schemes available to the sector, such as the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme which ceased in September 2021 and Business Rate Grants.
A further successful bid of £175k was made by the Charity to the Governments Cultural Recovery Fund via the Arts Council, in order to fund and continue to deliver these services from April 2021.
The National Leisure Recovery Fund secured in 2020/2021 for the Cannock and Selby contracts continues to support the Charity in its recovery during 2021/22 and 2022/23.
Crucial to the ongoing success of the Charity has been the continued contractual and financial support through the 'Deeds of Variation' to the two contracts held with Cannock and Selby District Councils.
Built around a common set of principles both Councils have agreed to support the Charity during an extended period of recovery from the pandemic. Whilst renewable on an annual basis these contractual arrangements will enable recovery to be achieved alongside growth and diversification.
Negotiations outside of the 'Deeds of Variation' arrangements also enabled the Cannock contract to be extended through to the 31st of March 2027.
Whilst the Selby arrangements will reach their contractual end on the 31st of August 2024, the Charity continues to seek growth and is currently in dialogue in respect of new opportunities within the Sector.
The result of the factors outlined above is that the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, (being a period of twelve months after the date on which the report and financial statements are signed), and that the going concern assumption is both appropriate and continues to be adopted in the financial statements. This is reiterated in the accounting policies on page 23

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review Grant Policy
The charitable company gives very limited grants to external institutions. Those that are given are approved by the Board through the charitable company's financial monitoring arrangements.
Pension Commitment
Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles (Formerly Wigan Leisure Culture Trust) is a member of the following multiple employer defined benefit pension schemes, the Greater Manchester Pension Fund, the Staffordshire Pension Fund and the North Yorkshire Pension Fund.
Each member organisation shares a joint and several liabilities for the pension funds. As such, and in accordance with FRS102 section 28, it has been possible to identify Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust's share of each scheme's assets and liabilities on 31 March 2022, as advised by the appointed actuaries. Refer to note 23 for additional information.
All three of the defined benefit pension schemes have undergone an actuarial valuation for accounting purposes (FRS102) as at the 31st March 2022. All three schemes recorded a positive movement as a result of the valuation. The Greater Manchester Scheme recorded a significant reduction in liability due to the TUPE transfer of staff following the cessation of the Wigan contract. The Staffordshire scheme moved into surplus following a significant increase to the fair value of the pension assets. After the year end (but before the signing of these accounts) the remaining staff in the Greater Manchester Scheme with continuing employment by Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles were granted addition to the Admissions Agreement for the Staffordshire Local Government Pension scheme, and transferred from the Greater Manchester Pension Fund. This was backdated to the 6[th] August 2021 this was not however included in either the Greater Manchester valuation or the Staffordshire valuations and therefore the trustees have taken the view that the recognition of both schemes valuation as prepared gives the best indication of the valuation at the 31 March 2022.
The North Yorkshire scheme remained in surplus, however at the date of signing these accounts the decision had been made by Selby Council not to renew the contract for services when renewal becomes due August 2024, as a result the directors have not recognised the surplus in the pension scheme and have recognised the valuation as £Nil.
The total position across the three schemes is detailed in note 23.
Trustees have considered the defined benefit pension scheme and the risk of this returning to a liability and the liability becoming due and whilst a pension scheme deficit is not a debt but an actuarial estimate of the liability that the Trust would need to fund, this would be over the longer term and the Trustees recognise the need to plan for this
Specific actions that are already in place to manage the risk are that the Trustees have closed the local government pension schemes it operates to both new and existing non scheme member employees, in order to manage the future financial risk in relation to pension fund deficits. After an evaluation process IHL joined the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) scheme. It is planned that over time a greater proportion of our employees will be part of this, rather than the local government scheme. This will over time achieve greater cost certainty as NEST is a contribution-based scheme rather than a final salary-based scheme. In response to new legislation, employees are "auto-enrolled" into the NEST scheme.
Additionally, any future increased employer contribution rates are forecasted and planned for as part of the budgeted revenue account, and there are Admitted Body Agreements in place alongside cash pension bonds.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial and risk management objectives and policies
We operate a formal risk management process, where Trustees and senior managers together identify top-level risks to the charitable company, their probability, impact and consequent actions necessary to manage them. A formal risk management policy was approved by Trustees in July 2011. This includes Corporate and Operational Risk Registers which are constantly under review.
The current economic climate which has also been significantly impacted by the continuing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Our risk management process enables the early identification of risks and the Board approved a Recovery Plan in June 2020, which was reviewed and consistently amended through the subsequent lockdown and recovery periods which continued into the start of this financial year.
The key risks identified for the year 2021/22 were:

Training in risk assessment is delivered to staff, and a small "Risk and Compliance" team has been established to support this area of work.
Fund Raising
The Trustees can confirm that it does not raise funds from the public other than through payment for taking part in the charitable services the Trust provides and has not engaged any professional fundraiser or commercial participator to carry out fundraising activities. The charity has received no complaints about fundraising activity.

INSPIRING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04624607)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
STRATEGIC REPORT
The Trust delivers public benefit by:
-
Not restricting access to its services to any member of the public, irrespective of their place of residence
-
Providing access to all leisure facilities at tariffs lower than commercial market tariffs including significant reductions through the implementation of various concessionary schemes
-
Providing free access to the Museum of Cannock Chase
-
Delivering activities from parks and other open spaces that are open free of charge to the public
-
Providing employment opportunities and learning and skills development
The impact of the Covid pandemic continued to affect the way in which services were delivered particularly in the early part of the year.
The Home Health Hub, our digital fitness and wellbeing offer, developed and launched to support gym members and participants to remain active and engaged throughout lockdown measures, continued to be developed and supported. This included online fitness classes, virtual cycling programmes, children's and family activities and nutritional advice and healthy eating guidance.
A phased approach to the relaxation of the covid safety measures in place was adopted, in line with the government's roadmap, both to ensure continued confidence from customers and, as a priority, ensure the health and safety of those engaged with our services.
The leisure facilities across the two contract areas adopted best practice to maximise the recovery of activity levels - we have seen a steady increase in footfall, attracting over 630,000 visits over the course of the year.
A proactive approach to re-engage communities in physical activity was undertaken. This included a 9-week trial of free gym sessions in a community setting. This enabled local people from various backgrounds and groups to exercise in a friendly environment with the objective of promoting activity, better health, social and mental health improvements. The 'Community Gym' offer has now been sustained with further roll out planned.
Rugeley Leisure Centre was the focus of a £1.25m investment programme, with the site fully reopening in March.
Continuing the digital approach utilised throughout the Pandemic, the "Cannock Chase Can" app launched. The app enables all residents to sign up and create personal goals and individual wellness journeys. It also provides information about healthy eating, physical activity and advice on how to make healthier lifestyle choices. It hosts a variety of wellness challenges that have been developed by both local communities and businesses. The app provides local communities with the tools to improve their own health and wellbeing by making it fun, focussed and easily accessible.
We have worked in partnership with the NHS to provide the 'Staying Well Service'. Held at Chase Leisure Centre, these now monthly sessions enable health care practitioners, GP's, nurses, social prescribers, falls prevention and other health care staff to invite local GP surgery patients into the leisure centre to speak to the appropriate practitioner - leading to better outcomes for the patient. Following on from this consultation the health practitioners also directly refer the patient to the Health & Wellbeing Activity referral program if it is appropriate for that individual.
In Selby, The Move It Lose It Adult Weight Management programme returned strongly following post covid re-launch. At the end of the year 80% of clients starting the programme achieved the targeted weight loss of 5% at week 12 and 100% of those reaching week 24 maintained this weight loss.

The Board of Trustees was set up through a mix of identified specialists and open adverts in the press. Replacement Trustees are recruited in a similar manner. The Board meets on a quarterly cycle.
Trustee training and development
A revised Trustee Handbook forms the basis of Trustee induction, supplemented by familiarization visits to facilities and events tailored to the interests and needs of the individual Trustee. The handbook is now updated on a regular basis when new information necessitates amendments.
Training was provided to Trustees on their legal responsibilities as a Trustee.
Recruitment and rotation of Trustees
The memorandum and articles of the charitable company require Trustees to retire after three years in office. However, they may, if willing, be re-appointed by the Board at a Board meeting at the end of each term of office.
The Board appointed five new Trustees in October 2021 following a comprehensive recruitment process.
The Board has two established sub committees - Audit Committee; and the Nominations Committee and their members during 2021/22 are listed below:
Audit Committee:
R Boocock; P Burt; P Farrington (Chair from April 2022); S Gambles; D Newman (Chair - resigned October 2021); L Peace; S Price; E Wetherby; D Wood

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
All Trustees remain active in the organization and sent apologies to meetings they could not attend.
Decision making
Strategic decisions are made by the Board of Trustees, but operational decisions are the province of the Leadership Team of the Trust. Significant operational decisions are, however, reported to the Board. The Memorandum and Articles of Association allows delegation of all management decisions in accordance with such powers approved by the Board to Leadership Team.
Leadership Team
During 2021/22 members of the Leadership Team were:
P Burt, Managing Director (Retired: June 2021) Chris Derbyshire, Managing Director (from July 2021, previously Deputy Managing Director) D Heaton, Finance Director and Company Secretary Greg Barker, Head of ICT (from April 2021) Nicola Bingham, Head of Finance (from April 2021) Stephen Riley, Head of Organisational Development (from April 2021) David Johns, Commercial Director (from April 2021 / resigned October 2021) Lynn Illidge, Head of Operations Cannock Chase (Temp - from November 2021) Ben Walker, Head of Operations Selby (Temp - from November 2021)
Management Remuneration
The salaries for all roles in the organisation, including senior management, are determined using a pay spine. The pay spine is determined by a mix of benchmarked salaries against market rate, former local authority grades and grades for roles that have transferred into the organisation. Senior and middle management do not receive automatic increments - any increments are performance based through a system of annual appraisals.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Gender Pay Gap
The organisation employed under 250 employees as at the 4th April 2022 and is therefore under the reporting threshold.
Employee involvement
The charitable company has continued the practice of keeping employees informed of matters affecting them as employees and the financial and economic factors affecting the charitable company. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the primary conduit for this has been through email and social media briefings in the form of Regular MD updates and regular briefings of the recognised Trade Unions. In addition, regular written briefings from the Senior Management have been issued throughout the year.
Disabled employees
Applications for employment by disabled persons are given full and fair consideration for all vacancies in accordance with their particular aptitudes and abilities. In the event of an employee becoming disabled, every effort is made to retrain them and/or make suitable adjustments in order that their employment with the charitable company may continue
It is the policy of the charitable company that training, career development and promotion opportunities should be available to all employees.
EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR
Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
-
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Fairhurst, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INSPIRING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (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 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 of the 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 charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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 of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INSPIRING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; 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 charitable company for the purposes 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 trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company'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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INSPIRING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. 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 of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that affect the charitable company, focusing on those that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on its operations. Key laws and regulations that we have identified included Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, Coronavirus Job Retentions Scheme regulations, data protection, employment, environmental and health & safety legislation.
-
We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting accreditations and legal correspondence.
In assessing the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining and understanding of how fraud might occur;
- We gained an understanding of the controls that management have in place to prevent and detect fraud. We enquired of management about any instances of fraud that had taken place during the year.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls;
-
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
We tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; and
-
We assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias.
Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls
We are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
1. COMPANY INFORMATION
Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust is a charity (No: 1105278) and a registered company limited by guarantee (No: 04624607) whose registered office is Robin Park Indoor Sports Centre, Loire Drive, Robin Park, Wigan, WN5 0UL.
The Trust delivers public benefit by providing free access, or access at tariffs lower than commercial market tariffs, to facilities as set out in the report of the trustees.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
The financial statements are presented in sterling (£). The Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Going Concern
The charitable company has net current liabilities of £284,093 (2021 £1,215,578) , the trustees do not consider this an indication of going concern issues as the charitable company holds general fixed asset investments of £2,166,717 (2021 £2,145,949) which can be readily accessed.
Following on from a significant unprecedented period of business operational uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021/2022 financial year has proven to be a slow but more stable operating environment for the Charity to continue its business recovery.
Restrictions continued to impact on the opening and operation of facilities for the first quarter of the financial year, with full restrictions only being lifted by Central Government in June 2021. The Charity continued to take advantage of all national and local government financial support schemes available to the sector, such as the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme which ceased in September 2021 and Business Rate Grants. A further successful bid of £175k was made by the Charity to the Governments Cultural Recovery Fund via the Arts Council, in order to fund and continue to deliver these services from April 2021. The National Leisure Recovery Fund secured in 2020/2021 for the Cannock and Selby contracts continues to support the Charity in its recovery during 2021/22 and 2022/23.
Crucial to the ongoing success of the Charity has been the continued contractual and financial support through the 'Deeds of Variation' to the two contracts held with Cannock and Selby District Councils. Built around a common set of principles both Councils have agreed to support the Charity during an extended period of recovery from the pandemic. Whilst renewable on an annual basis these contractual arrangements will enable recovery to be achieved alongside growth and diversification.
Negotiations outside of the 'Deeds of Variation' arrangements also enabled the Cannock contract to be extended through to the 31st of March 2027. Whilst the Selby arrangements will reach their contractual end on the 31st of August 2024, the Charity continues to seek growth and is currently in dialogue in respect of new opportunities within the Sector.

INSPIRING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The result of the factors outlined above is that the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, (being a period of twelve months after the date on which the report and financial statements are signed), and that the going concern assumption is both appropriate and continues to be adopted in the financial statements.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The trustees consider there to be no items in the financial statements where they have had to make significant judgements in the process of applying the group's accounting policies or key sources of estimations uncertainty, other than as stated below:
The present value of the three pension schemes defined benefit liabilities depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a variety of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost for pensions include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions, which are disclosed in note 19 will impact the carrying amount of the pension liability. Furthermore, a roll forward approach which projects results from the latest full actuarial valuations performed at 31 March 2019 has been used by the actuary in valuing the pensions liability at 31 March 2022. Any differences between the figures derived from the roll forward and approach and a full actuarial valuation would impact on the carrying amount of the pension liability.
Income
Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the group and the income can be reliably measured. Income is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Rendering of services
Income from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
-
the amount of income can be measured reliably;
-
it is probably that the group will receive the consideration due under the contract;
-
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
-
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably
Donations and Legacies
Donations comprises all income from donations, gifts, core funding grants and investment income.
Donations under Gift Aid together with the associated income tax recoveries are credited as income in the year in which they are received.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution.
Grants receivable and local authority fees
Grants receivable and local authority fees are credited to the statement of financial activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Investment income and rental income
Income from investments and from rental income is included in the statement of financial activities in the year in which it is receivable.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of commercial trading carried out by the subsidiary undertakings.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of providing services and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred
Charitable activities
Wellbeing – up to 2021 this mainly represented public health contracts with Wigan Council. In the year to 31 March 2022 this this represents the public health contract with North Yorkshire County Council and Heath Projects undertaken on behalf of Staffordshire County Council
Sport and Leisure - this includes management fees for the Selby sports contract and the sports element of the Cannock management fee. In addition, fees and admission charges for the use of sports facilities are included in this category of income
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activites. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the Trusts activities. The basis on which support costs have been allocated is set out in note 7.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
| Leasehold improvements | - Over the period of the lease (15 years) |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | - at varying rates on cost |
| Computer equipment & software | - 10% to 25% on cost |
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. Tangible fixed assets are subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of financial activities.
The financial statements do not include the cost of land, buildings and equipment used at nominal rent by Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust, whose title rests with Wigan Council, Selby District Council and Cannock Chase District Council. It is not practicably possible to attribute a value to this benefit.
Investments
Listed investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations throughout the year.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Tangible fixed assets
Movements in value arising from investment changes or revaluation and the profit on disposal of investments have been charged or credited to the funds to which they relate.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
Leased assets
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over their expected useful lives. The interest element of leasing payments represents a constant proportion of the capital balance outstanding and is charged to the statement of financial activities over the period of the lease.
All other leases are regarded as operating leases and the payments made under them are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis.
At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the Balance Sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter.
The interest element of these obligations is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits Defined benefit scheme
The Group participates in three local government pension schemes, all of which are defined benefit, multi-employer arrangements.
Scheme assets are measured at fair values. Scheme liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method and are discounted at appropriate high quality corporate bond rates. The net surplus or deficit is presented separately from other net assets on the balance sheet. A net surplus is recognised only to the extent that it is recoverable by the group through reduced contributions in the future, in accordance with paragraph 28.22 of FRS 102.
The current and past service costs and costs from settlements and curtailments are included within direct charitable activities. Interest on the scheme liabilities and the expected return on scheme assets are included in other finance costs within support costs. Actuarial gains and losses are reported separately in the statement of financial activities.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Defined contribution pension plan
The group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid, the group has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Financial Activities when they fall due. The assets of the plan are held separately from the group in independently administered funds.
Employee termination benefits
Redundancy costs are provided for in the year in which they are notified publicly or to employees
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
Financial instruments
The group only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the income and expenditure account.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the group would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
The company holds fixed asset investments in the form of managed portfolios which include a combination of quoted holdings and cash. These are initially recognised at transaction price then are subsequently re-measured at their fair value, which is market rate at the close of business. Recognised and unrecognised profit/(loss) are recognised in the statement of financial activities
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

8. CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES COSTS
Other charitable expenditure of £1,698,000 represents the writing down of the North Yorkshire Pension surplus to £Nil. As the Selby contract ends in 2024 the Trustees have assessed that there is no opportunity to realise the FRS102 disclosure asset as calculated at 31 March 2022 and have taken the decision to restrict the value of the pension scheme assets to that of the pension scheme liabilities.

2022 £ 2,166,717 2,116,961 - 4,283,678 |

The listed investments are managed portfolios held with Tilney Investment Management. They are carried at the fair value for the portfolio at the balance sheet date.
The main risk to the Charity from financial instruments lies in the combination of uncertain investment markets and volatility in yield. The Charity is reliant on dividend yield to finance its work and this leads to a greater exposure to international companies, the values of which, together with their yield are exposed to exchange rate risk when converting the holdings into sterling.
Liquidity risk is anticipated to be low as all assets are traded and the commitment to intervention by cental banks and market regulators has continued to provide for orderly trading in the markets and so the ability to buy and sell quoted equities and stock is anticipated to continue. The Charity's investments are mainly traded in markets with good liquidity and high trading volumes. The Charity has no material investment holdings in markets subject to exchange controls or trading restrictions.

The Charity manages these investment risks by retaining expert advisors and operating an investment policy that provides for a high degree of diversification of holdings within investment asset classes that are quoted on recognised stock exchanges. The Charity does not make use of derivatives and similar complex financial instruments as it takes the view that investments are held for their longer term yield total return and historic studies of quoted financial instruments have shown that volatility in any particular five year period will normally by corrected.
