Prartice; and
have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of 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 group and parent 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 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 oijr opinion.
Conclusions relatFng 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 relattng to events or
conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the 8roup and charity'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 80ing concern are described in the
relevant sections of this report.

except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon. Our responsbility 15 to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially incon515tent 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
intonsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to deterrnine whether this gives rise to a
material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work 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.

accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we 3re requTrred to report by exception
In the Fight of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charity and its environment obtained in
the course of the audit, we have not identified rnaterial mi55tatements in the direttors, report or strategFC report
included in the Trustees, Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following rnatters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006
reqL*ires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

the parent charity financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns'or
certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration spetified by law are not made. or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Re5ponstbilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees, responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of
the group and parent 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 a5 the trustees
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstaternent, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible
for assessing the group and parent charrty's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters
relating 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.
Auditors, responslbifities 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 rnisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinTon. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit condutted in
accordance with ISAS (UK) wtll always detect a material misstaternent 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.
Irregularities, incjuding fraud, are instances of non-compliance with13ws 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 deterting irregularities, including fraud, is
detailed below.
As part of our planning proces5".
we enquired of management the systems and controls the company and group has in place, the areas of
the financial statements that are most susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether
there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud. Man3gement did not inform us of any known,
suspected or alleged fraud.

URN YMCA
ENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT (CONTINUED)
. ?HE TRUSTEES OF BLACKBURN YMCA
we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company and
group. We determined that the following were most relevant: CharitFes SORP [FRS102) and Companies
Act 2006.
we considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the company and group, including the
extent of management b>as, which present a potential for irregularitie5 and fraud to be perpetrated,
and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.
using our knowledge of the group company, together with the discussions held with management at the
planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularit4es including
fraud, and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.
The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities includlng fraud during the course of the audit included;
identifying and testing journal entries in the overall accounting retords, in particular those that were
significant and unusual.
reviewing the financial statement disclosure5 and determining whether accounting policies have been
appropriately applsed.
reviewing and challenging the assumptions and judgements used by management in their
significant accountbn8 estirnates, in particular in relation to depreciation, leasehold property valuation
and restricted funds.
assessing the extent of compliance with the rélevant laws and regulations.
testing key revenue streams, in particular cut-off and recoverability for evidence of management bias.
'obtaining third party confirmation of material bank balances and loans.
documenting and verifying all significant related party transactions and balances.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and
regulations are from financial transactions. the less likely it is that we would become aware of non<ompliance.
Auditing standards aSso lirnit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and
regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management, and the inspertton of regulatory and legal
correspondence. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise
frorn error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at: http://www.frc.org.uVauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our
auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part
16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable
company'5 members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors, report and for no other
purpose. To the f tjllest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assurne responsibility to anyone other than
the charbtable cornpany and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or
for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
I Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies. the tTUStees are required to make judgements, estirnates
ancs assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The estimates and associated assumptsons are based on historical experien￿ and other factors that are considered
to be relevant. Actual Tesults may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and undertying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognisèd in the period in which the estimate is revbsed where the reviston affects only that period, or in the period
of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements
The following judgements {apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on arnounts
recognised in the financial statements.
Useful economic life of tsngible fued assets
The useful economic life of tangible fixed assets is judged at the point of purchase and reviewed at each
financial reporting date. The judgernent is based on the trustess in depth knowledge of he industry in which the
chartty operates and of the individual assets.
As standard, the useftjl economic lives are applied as shown in note 2.6.
Impairment of tangible fixed assets
At each balancè sheets date. the trustees undertake an assessment of the carying amounts of its tangible fKed
assets based on their knowledge of the assets to determine whether there is any indication that the assets have
' suffered an impairment loss. Where ne￿SSary, an impairment charge is recognised in the Statement of Financial
Activities.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustrnent to the carrying value
of assets and liabilities are as follows.
Impairmenl of trade debtors
At each balance sheet date, the trustees and their finan￿ team undertake a review of outstanding debtor
balan￿S and estimate which, rf any, should either be impaired or providèd against. This calculation is based on
the financial position of the customers, the historical speed of payment and any ongoing discussions between
the charity and the individual debtor.

Accounting policies (continued)
Basis of Gon50Eidation
The consolidated accounts include the trading adivities, assets and liabilities of the parent and subsidiary
company, Bolton YMCA, in accordance with the Charities SORP. The results of the 5ubisidtary are consolidated

frorn the date that Bolton YMCA be¢ame a subsidiary.
Gotng concern
At the time of approving the financsal statements, Ihe Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the
cttarty has adequate reSoUr￿S to continue in operational existence for the forseeabte future. Thus the
trtjstees contsnue to adopt the going concern basTS in preparing the financial statements.
The parent charity is currently in the process of a signficant development project which has been fiJlly costed
and is funded by a bank loan and grant funding. Detailed budgets have been prepared to ensure that the
group has sufficient funds to complete the project.
The Board regularly monitor managernenl accounts and budgets for the group and are confident that reserves
are sufficient to cover any unexpected expenditure. The trustee5 are pftjdent and realistiG in the4r estimations.
Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discrelion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless
the funds have been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are accounted for in accordance with the tems and conditions of the restricted income received.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes.
2.4
Incoming resources
Income is TecognFsed when the charity is legally entitled to it after any perf0rnan￿ conditions have been met, the amounts
can be measured Eliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Rental income is accounted for wh&n receivable.
Cash donatsons are reCogn￿d on receipt. Other donations are reco9nised onee the charity has been notified of the
donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.
Investment income is accounted for as and when receivable.
Grants are recognised wfien the charity has entitlement lo the funds, any performance conditions attached to
the grants have been met. it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured
reliably and is not deferred.
Social Housing and other government grants
Where developments have been financed wholly or partw by social housing or other grants, the amount of the grant
received has been induded as deferred income and recognised in turnover over the estimated useful lrfe of the assel
structure, under the accruals basis. No tumover is recognised until the development is complete.
Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the
charty to that expendrture,, it is piobable that the transfer of e¢onomic benefits will be required in settlement, and
the amoLant of the oblFgation can be measured reliably. Expendtiure is accounted for on an accruals basis arid
has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be
directly attributed to particular headtngs, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the
use of resources.

Accountlng poli¢Èes (continued)
Tangible fjxed assets and depreciation
Tangible f￿ed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of
dep￿ciatIon and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the Cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their
useful lives on the following bases".-
Alterations to aeasehold buildings
FixtLtres and fittings
over period of lease
,200h to 330/0 on cost (none in year of purchase)
In the year that an external fomial valuats'on is carred out, no depreciation is charged. During the coursè of
a major leasehold irnprovernent project, no depreciation is charged on the relevant propety untFI such works
are completed.
Tangible fixed assets may include the cost of assets in the course of Construction, which will be transferred
to investment properties when complete and tenanted.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the differen￿ between the sale Pro￿edS
and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised rn net incomel{expenditure) for the year.
Investment properties
Investment property, which is property held to eam rentals andlor for capital appreciation, is initially
recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure.
Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation
is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to detennine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impaiment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment
loss (if any).
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use,
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the
estimates of ftjture cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of 8n asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount
of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An imparrrnent loss is recognised immediately in incomel
(expenditure) for the year.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if. and only if. the reasons for the impaiment loss have c£ased
to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequentty reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to
the revised estimate of it5 recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not ex￿ed
the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset
in prior years. A reversal of an impairrnent loss is recognised immediately.

Deftned contribution schemes
The charity operates a defined contribvtion pension scheme for all qualifyin8 employee5. The a5set5 of the scheme
are held separately from those of the charity in an independenttry administered fund.
The charge to profit or loss in respect of defined contribution schemes was £1,635 (2023: £1,099}
Defined benefrt schemes
Bjackburn YMC4 and its subsidiary participated in a cont¥ibutory pension plan prov¢ding defined beneffts based on final
pensionable pay for employees of YMCAS in England, Scotland and Wales. The assets of the YMCA Pension Plan are held
sepèxately from those of Blackburn YMCA and at the year end these were invested in the Mercer Dynamic De-Ri5kin8
Soltstion, 65% matching portfolio and 35% in the growth portfolio and Schroder (property units only).
The rn05t recently completed three year valuation was as at l May 2023. The assurnptions ￿Sed which have the most
5i6nificant effect on the resuks of the valuation are those relating to the assumed rates of return on assets 4,56%, the
increase in pensions in payment of 3.18% {for RPI capped at 5% per annum), and the average life expectancy from normal
retirement age (of 65) for a current mate pensioner of 21.5 years, female 24.0 years, and 23.1 years for male pensioners.
female 25.7 years, retiring in 20 years time. The result of the valuation showed that the actuarial valuation of the a55ets were
£103.1 mitlion. This represented 92% of the benefits accrued to members.
The Pension Plan was closed to new members and fvture service accru31 with effect from 30 April 2CQ7. With the removal of
Salary linkage for beneffits all employed deferred rnembers became deferred members as from l May 2011.
The valuation as at l May 2023 showed that the YMCA Pension Plan had a deficit of £9.1 rnillion. The group ha5 been advised
that it will need to rnake monthly contributions of £1,095 from l May 2024. this amount is based on the current attuarial
assumptions (as outlined above) and may vary in the future as a result of actuarial performance of the Pension Plan. A8reed
future deficit contrbbutions have been discounted using a rate Gf 5.3% (2023: 3%1. The current recovery period is 3 years
commencing l May 2024.
In addition, Blackburn YMCA rnay have further liabilities in the event of non-payment by other participating YMCAS
of their share of the YMCA Pension Plan's deficit. It is not Possible to quantify the potential amount that Blackburn
YMCA may be ￿lled upon to pay in the future.
