The charity's objects ("the objects") are for the benefit of the public generally and, in particular, the inhabitants of the North East and Cumbria and their surrounding areas:

The main objectives of the year continued to focus on the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation through the advancement of the education of children and young people. The strategies employed to assist the charity to meet these objectives included the following:

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Theory of Change

During the covid period, the Foundation re-evaluated its purpose and as such our theory or change that forms the basis for planning, ongoing decision-making, and evaluation.

The process of completing the theory of change has encouraged our organisation to reflect on our goals, plans and develop a refreshed strategy. This process was aided by professional help from Goodlabs to guide the process.

Achievements and performance

The year has seen a period of recovery and change for our charity and the communities we aim to support. This season we re-evaluated our purpose, values and theory of change and brand values to ensure the Foundation was still working for the communities in which we operate in an ever-changing world post-pandemic. The Foundation continued to deliver the remaining projects which had been due to take place during the previous year but had been affected by covid. The Rugby League World Cup 2021 was postponed which had an impact of the work of our rugby league arm, Thunder Community. A first full season back for our rugby union clubs meant a different approach was made to rebuild rather than grow this season.

Throughout this period, there have been many successes for the Foundation as we have continued to work with

a wide variety of participants.

This season saw a bigger commitment to supporting and developing staff, many of who had been furloughed for a long period of time. This was supported by the development of committees, specifically the People Committee. Each Staff member was given a mentor and programme of additional training which will further develop next year. The Foundation were also privilege to welcome our first Ambassador in this year, Tony Underwood. As an ex-Falcons player, England international and Lions veteran as well as commercial piolet, Tony brings a wealth of experience in working in teams and is working with the Foundation staff to support our new purpose and behaviours.

During this period the Foundation has worked with 18,056 people across 25 projects

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Falcons Community

Due to the reduction in delivery staff from the Rugby Football Union after covid, Newcastle Rugby Foundation were able to establish a new project which was funded by Northumberland Rugby Union and enable the Foundation to pick up the gap left in support and recovery for community clubs.

Our Hitz project went onto support more young people severely affected by the effects of covid. The project aims to support young people who have experienced problems or barriers in their lives resulting in them becoming disengaged with education and services. Young people we work with need support to boost their physical and mental wellbeing and to progress to employment. Working alongside Newcastle College, we were able to increase our support to a huge 40% additional learners and improve their lives and ability to progress into further training or employment. One such learner won the community volunteer of the year award at the Premiership Rugby Parliamentary Awards presented at Westminster, while a second learner who graduated from the Hitz project was employed on an apprenticeship within the Foundation.

Our rugby development academy project based at Kingston Park Stadium grew by 54%. The programme aims to utilise enthusiasm for rugby to promote educational achievement, with the students achieving a 100% pass rate in this year.

Our participation events continued to grow back to pre-pandemic levels with coaching camps and mass participation events deserving a special mention. 5,655 young people took part across both projects.

Thunder Community

Despite the effect of the postponed Rugby League World Cup, the Thunder Community side of the Foundation still developed and delivered our core work whilst also adopting two successful new projects.

This period saw the development of our first learning disabilities rugby league team, who even managed to play on the pitch at St James’ Park in front of over 35,000 fans at Magic weekend.

The North East Rugby League project also finally launched after a difficult period during the pandemic with a Hall of Fame dinner. This was the first project of its kind for the Foundation as we aimed to document the history of rugby league in the North East in a virtual museum and online archive. Past heritage players attended a dinner to formally launch the project.

We look forward to formally launching our RUGBY+ strategy next year and progressing towards it.

Financial review

In the year ending 30 June 2022 the Newcastle Rugby Foundation (the Foundation) income has increased to £640,000 (£240,000 unrestricted and £400,000 restricted) from £463,000 in the previous financial year (£109,000 unrestricted and £354,000 restricted), this is an annual growth in income of 38%.

Support costs were up by £180,000 to £551,000 in year ending 30 June 2022 from £371,000 in the year ending 30 June 2021 due to increased staff numbers, salary increases approved by Trustees, investment of reserves in developing the purpose, impact and brand values of, marketing costs and financial support for some of the rugby league programmes. This has resulted in a deficit in the year of just under £36,000.

The Board accepts the deficit recorded is due to the investment in its staff, training and development of the purpose, impact and brand values of the Foundation and are confident that going forward the Foundation will continue to be sustainable and if necessary, will make the necessary adjustments to ensure this.

The Foundation continues to have reserves of £403,000 down from £439,000 in year ending 30 June 2021. The Board are reviewing the Reserves Policy to ensure that sufficient funds are held to meet its commitments without tying up excessive funds that limit the objectives of the Foundation along with the community benefits that investing these funds can bring forward.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Newcastle Rugby Foundation is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Kingston Park, Brunton Road, Kenton Bank Foot, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE13 8AF.

1.1 Accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum of association, 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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

NEWCASTLE RUGBY FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Resources expended are included on an accruals basis.

Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in those expenditure categories.

Other costs, which are attributable to more than one activity, are apportioned on the basis of an estimate of the proportion of time spent by staff on those activities, Governance costs are those incurred in the Trust and primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

1.6 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.7 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.8 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

NEWCASTLE RUGBY FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
