Objectives and activities

Aims & Objectives

The charity was formed to promote and provide high performance gymnastics for members at all levels and abilities from elite gymnastics to foundation level and promote and provide high performance gymnastics facilities for the benefit of the inhabitants of the City of Newcastle and the surrounding areas. Together with the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation by the provision of facilities for the sport of gymnastics.

The Benfield Sport Centre is home to The City of Newcastle Gymnastics Academy, which was opened in 2001 by former Russian Olympic Gymnasts Svetlana Khorkina and Alexei Nemoz.

Our purpose-built gymnastic facility is one of the biggest and best-equipped training and competition venues in Europe, hosting regional, national and international events. Our aim is to provide a safe and challenging environment for gymnasts at all levels.

Heading our team during this year was Chief Executive Karen Chapman, a High-Performance Coach (HPC) and National Judge for British Gymnastics. Karen was supported by a strong and dedicated team of highly qualified and experienced coaches. {Karen retired in May 2022}. Karen has led our team since before moving into our premises and has been the central point of our organisation for over 20 years. Much of the successes we have achieved have been due to her commitment and drive and she is leaving a a tremendous legacy for her efforts. A new management structure is now in place for the next year and the Trustees are so grateful for Karen's efforts in creating this new team and her work over the years.

The centre is open 7 days a week and runs a variety of classes to suit all age groups and abilities including pre-school, Recreational, general, Elite Artistic Gymnastics (Men's & Women's) and Team Gym. The Academy has produced gymnasts who have qualified for the British National Gymnastics Squads in both Women's and Men's Artistic Gymnastics and European Squads in TeamGym.

At the City of Newcastle Gymnastics Academy we believe exercise is important for the future health and wellbeing of our children. Gymnastics teaches determination, drive, discipline and dedication. But above all - gymnastics is fun…..!!

Our Mission

The City of Newcastle Gymnastics Academy is committed to the provision of quality facilities and the development of gymnastics in the Newcastle and North Tyne area. The Gymnastics Academy provides opportunities for all abilities, from recreational classes, county and regional training squads through to international gymnastics.

Grants are considered for the following:

Grants will be considered for equipment that is necessary for a gymnast or gymnastics coach to progress in the sport.

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Achievements and performance

2021/2022 has certainly tested our resilience both from a performance and financial perspective. I am delighted to see that as ever we have spotted the opportunities in this adversity and finally used our reserves to improve the physical facility ensuring that CNGA is future-proofed and will meet its demand in the region. The balcony area has been developed to improve customer care and aid parental viewing. It is hoped to provide refreshment facilities as soon as is possible. This is a credit to management and staff, especially the building project and 'comeback' teams. Well done.

The Trustees at the Academy have spent quite some time looking at board performance, make up and abilities. We are conscious of new requirements being placed upon charities to ensure their boards are effective and representative. Our governance issues are a regular topic in meetings, and we hope to expand the board of Trustees as soon as additions are identified. We have already begun the process of tenure limits, and will complete this within 2 years. We have also begun assessing and analysing risks through a Business Continuity Plan, which will be a working document to refer to continually.

The Trustees are happy that we are meeting our charitable objectives across all areas, despite the problems due to the pandemic. Reserves have had to be used to support the balcony development and the supply of staffing to support our diverse programme continues to be a problem. We however are very positive and optimistic about the future and look forward to next year under the banner 'Raise the bar'..

Financial review

The statement of Financial Activities shows a surplus for the year of £148,043 and total reserves stand at £866,766.

Reserves Policy and Risk Management

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately four to eight months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs and to respond to emergencies.

The unrestricted reserves of the charity at 31 March 2022 amounted to £866,766 of which free reserves (i.e. those not tied up in fixed assets and designated funds) amounted to £314,276.

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity face on a regular basis and believe that maintaining our free reserves at the levels stated above, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of City of Newcastle Gymnastics Academy Limited

Year ended 31 March 2022

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of City of Newcastle Gymnastics Academy Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2022

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Benfield Road, Walkergate, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE6 4NU.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2022

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

13

City of Newcastle Gymnastics Academy Limited

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2022

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Plant and machinery - 10% reducing balance Equipment - 20% reducing balance

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

4. Limited by guarantee

City of Newcastle Gymnastics Academy Limited is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have any share capital.

Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
