INTRODUCTION FROM OF TRUSTEES

CHAIRMAN THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Over the past twelve months the Foundation has continued to grow the number of players playing and competing at the arena on weekends to the point where we are now full.

We have up to 140 hours of competition at the Vertu Motors Arena on weekends across all three courts plus academy and women’s home games.

The Foundation is arguably the single biggest youth club in the north-east of England with 2455 young people and their families benefiting weekly.

Due to the growth the need for more volunteers has been crucial with the hours pledged has doubled to a staggering 16,040 across the year. This support is more appreciated as we deliver a unique player pathway to young people, across all participation and performance opportunities.

We can see that the generations coming through will change the attitude of those in power and how sport is funded or which sports are prioritised. We are seeing it already within schools and communities. In our home the Vertu Motors Arena all we hope is to leave our young people with the power to determine their own futures and reach their own personal excellence.

I would like to thank all this years players, funders, partners, families, volunteers, staff and fellow trustees for the hard work that has been put in to make this 2023-24 year such a memorable one.

PRIMARY SCHOOL PROGRAMME

INTRODUCTION

Today the programme is integral to the women’s team who are deeply passionate about benefiting our community. Reece Foundation committed to another year of funding alongside new funder North of Tyne Combined Authority. This enabled the number of roadshows to increase to 52 across the year.

It is well documented that women face similar challenges in pursuing sport as they do in pursuing academia or work roles in STEM fields, which is why we believe having our women's team as the focal point of the project will help break long standing stereotypes and provide the representation to inspire the next generation.

Academia plays a huge role in the career of professional basketball players – especially female basketball players. The majority have university degrees with a high percentage continuing to a Master's degree also. This is a major teaching point in the program – making the connection between academia and sport and the significance it has for women in particular – which is why women's team players Chloe Gaynor and Marina Fernandez now design and deliver the program.

There have been benefits not only to the students taking part, but also to our women's programme as a result of our STEM project. From being able to engage more in the community, and promote our girls only sessions and games,. For another year the participants of the STEM programme received a free golden ticket to a women’s home game during the season.

FEEDBACK

“The STEM event provided by the Newcastle Eagles was invaluable in providing our pupils with a developed understanding of the practical application of maths, science, engineering and technology in an enjoyable, fun yet informative way.

Being taught by the players themselves was in itself a great experience for the children as they stand out not only as role models in sport but more specifically as females in sport. For them to then be highlighting the value of these subjects in a sport which they, and our pupils, love is significant in supporting the children to understand why these lessons are important and how their interest in them can lead into different career pathways, their aspirations therefore being raised through the visit.

The delivery of the session was engaging and feedback from the pupils was of the highest standard. They loved the combination of tasks that were undertaken including the video analysis linked to percentages, the technological aspect of shoe design and of course the chance to be on the Eagles court shooting free throws and working out averages. The visit we undertook was undoubtedly one of the pupils’ favourites of the year and, as educators, we cannot stress enough the importance of opportunities such as this for our pupils.”

Jenny O’Neil, Deputy Head Teacher, Biddick Hall Junior School

“The Eagles STEM visit was brilliant. Now the pupils are absolutely buzzing about basketball. They are demanding that I buy basketball hoops and other equipment for the yard now. I think they’ve totally been inspired!”

Matthew Alison, Class Teacher, Benedict Biscop C.E. Academy

“It was very engaging and the pupils were interested in the content. There were lots of links to our curriculum within maths and science so it worked as a great recap for the year. The facility was great and the pupils really enjoyed the practical part of the session. The pupils were able to relate and connect to Chloe and Marina. This was really nice to observe! The booklets were informative and appropriate and it was nice how they could take them home and do more work. E.g. Design a trainer.” Toby Hutton, Class Teacher, New Delaval Primary School

“IT WAS FUN WATCHING THE VIDEOS OF THE PLAYERS AND RECORDING THEIR STATS - I WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS WHEN I AM OLDER.”

Pupil testimony

CLUB DEVELOPMENT

The Eagles Community Foundation (ECF) run 13 junior club sites across Tyne and Wear and South East Northumberland. The sites provide structured club sessions for those players that have transitioned from our school outreach programme.

We welcome all youngsters and young adults into the clubs no matter how much playing experience or exposure to the sport they have previously had. At each club site the coach(es) will work with the players to help them improve on their skill levels and get an understanding of the rules and the game of basketball. The players will be made aware of the player pathway and the officiating/coaching opportunities.

Although players will have the opportunity to have some competitive play at the club sessions it is important that they also have the opportunity to play against other clubs at their age group. The Eagles Central Venue League allows all players to have that competitive outlet with no need for trials to make the team. Teams are then split into divisions to make it competitive and ensure the players get the most out of competing. Being a part of a team encourages players to work as a team to achieve common goals. It also gives the players the experiencing of both winning and losing and how to deal with both situations.

Like with all sports the volunteers across the club sites are invaluable to what we do. The volunteers take on a whole list of duties ranging from coaching to fundraising allowing the head coaches to be able to just coach the players. The volunteers are made up of junior players, former players and parents.

The membership has grown again from last year with eleven of the clubs going beyond 100 members and four clubs with more than 200 members.

COMPETITION STRUCTURE

The Eagles Central Venue League (CVL) is a development league giving all ECF club players the opportunity to play the game competitively. The league operates a policy that if you want to play then you are on a team and is not determined by players having to attend any trials. To allow new teams to enter and for the league to have the ability to expand, it is split into two blocks across the season. This year the age groups attending Saturday or Sunday changed due to the number of teams playing. A transitional year witnessed U12's moving to a Sunday with the following structure; Saturday: U14's, U16's, U18's Sunday: U12s, U10's, U8's

The Saturday league runs full court 5 v 5 games at a full height basket with both boys and girls competing. Each game is played with a running clock to ensure that all fixtures can be played. Each of the teams have a coach to help support and encourage the players.

On a Sunday the league changes from U12's full court to U8's and U10's league played on half courts with the side hoops lowered to 8ft. Instead of 5v5 this age group plays 4v4 games.

The Foundation provides an opportunity for people to gain governing body qualifications in refereeing, officiating and coaching. This then helps players, parents and individuals wanting to support the league become involved and work or volunteer alongside full time members of the outreach team. This has enabled the growth in workforce development for basketball in the region with many people continuing to develop further in the sport with additional qualifications.

An increase in teams and the expansion again this year has resulted in needing to recruit more officials and coaches.

TOTAL NUMBER OF TEAMS COMPETING 162 PREVIOUS YEAR 135 TEAMS COMPETING

Those that gain their award are then employed by the foundation including people as young as 14. Gaining officiating awards allows people to gain experience and thus confidence in working across all age groups.

The coaching pathway is really important to us as a foundation as it ensures that we have a pool of coaches to be able to deliver in both clubs and across the outreach programme.

NEWCASTLE EAGLES COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

ELITE PERFORMANCE PATHWAY

The Newcastle Eagles Academy provides a performance environment for junior players the chance to train and play in the highest leagues competing in the Basketball England National League. Players are selected for the squads after going through two-stage trial process. Each of our six teams select 15 squad players from over 400 girls and boys who decide to trial. The squads travel around the country playing against other academies with leagues consisting of around 8-12 teams. At the end of the regular season the top teams in each league advance to a playoff format to crown champions of each age group.

We had six teams competing in the Junior National Basketball League. Three at u14s (boys x2 & girls) and three at u16 (boys x2 & girls). In addition, we have added the ‘Advanced Development Group’ to prepare younger players for the academy, these were six groups with monthly on-court and educations sessions. The newly formed under 19 academy rounds out the whole provision with a key partnership with Newcastle College enabling us to field two teams with all players basing their academics at Newcastle College group.

Altogether, eight teams will be competing with an additional six training groups at the pre-academy level with ADG… over 220 players!

GOLF IN THE CITY PUTTS SHARE OF £13,710 INTO THE FOUNDATION

North east based networking group Golf in the City (GITC) put their sporting skills to good use and raised £13,710 for the Eagles Community Foundation and St Cuthbert’s Hospice.

This year the two charities benefited from the event with all funds raised split equally, ensuring that the proceeds will directly benefit young people in the North East.

“We were amazed last year at the amount we raised but this year, we have gone at least one under par. We are thrilled that the Newcastle Eagles Foundation and St Cuthbert’s Hospice will benefit from our love of the sport” Marc Millar

“This is now an annual event, and we hope to continue supporting local charities and fostering a sense of community through our passion for golf.” Jenna Herlingshaw

“The GITC committee is thrilled to support the two charities that provide brilliant work in our local North East community. We are grateful to all the participants, sponsors, and supporters who contributed to the success of this event” Matthew Brady

The networking group of over 100 local people provides regular opportunities for golf enthusiasts to come together, forge connections, and enjoy the camaraderie of the game. GITC is committed to giving back to the local community through charitable initiatives combining their love for golf with helping good causes.

The companies players included beginners to former academy players, all coming together to support the Foundation.

Chuck a duck made an appearance PLUS the added bonus of players; Darius Defoe, Malcom Delpeche, Marina Fernandez and Chloe Gaynor helping to raise money by the add a minute to your team from a player bonus option (the power play).

In total an incredible £17,750 was raised on the day to support the Foundations work.

THE EAGLES COMMUNITY ARENA KNOWN AS THE VERTU MOTORS ARENA HAS CONTINUED TO GROW ACROSS THE TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD.

Community evening hours along with weekend hours are in heavy demand for the courts, especially with the Foundation player base growing so rapidly. The arena continues to host Foundation delivery plus local wheelchair basketball, netball and volleyball clubs with up to 3500 young people per week benefiting from club sport.

During the day Newcastle College as anchor tenant utilises both the courts and classrooms as a base for sport further and higher education courses. In total more than 350 students have benefited from the arena facilities and an additional 600 with onsite exams four times a year.

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

Over the past twelve months the Foundation has continued to grow the number of players playing and competing at the arena on weekends to the point where we are now full. We have up to 140 hours of competition at the Vertu Motors Arena on weekends across all three courts plus academy and women’s home games. The Foundation is arguably the single biggest youth club in the north-east of England with 2455 young people and their families benefiting weekly.

In our home the Vertu Motors Arena all we hope is to leave our young people with the power to determine their own futures and reach their own personal excellence.

I would like to thank all this years players, funders, partners, families, volunteers, staff and fellow trustees for the hard work that has been put in to make this 2023-24 year such a memorable one.

Academy

Delivering a comprehensive performance programme for young people to extend their talent. The year witnessed an increase from four to six teams at the younger age groups and a switch to Newcastle College for our older age group. This change has enabled more young people to benefit from this programme with education at the centre.

International honours

A route to represent internationally is promoted with players and staff encouraged to participate. This year two members of staff and one academy player represent home nations, gaining experience and being acknowledged for their talents.

Former academy player Tosan Evboumwan became the first Eagle and the eighth UK player to come through the British basketball system and graduate to the NBA. A significant role model to all Eagles.

Achievements and performance (continued)

b. Fundraising activities and income generation

The major events which took place this season included:

• Williams Ali 3v3 Corporate Challenge took place with 24 teams participating in a fun afternoon at the Vertu Motors Arena in June. The entry fees, plus fundraising on the day saw a staggering £10,000 raised.

• Golf in the City named the Foundation one of two beneficiaries for their annual golf day and dinner taking place at Slaley Hall in May. In total the Foundation received a huge £6,000.

• Serios Group 3v3 Corporate Challenge along with a summer tough mudder and community champion employee Craig Thompson running the Great North Run and London Marathon.

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

The balance sheet of the company at the year end shows net current liabilities of £200,586 which primarily reflect timing over the recognition of liabilities and the impact of one-off capital investment in site improvements during the year.

Additionally, the Trustees have reviewed forecasts and cash flow projections and remain confident in the Foundation’s ability to generate sufficient income and manage its cost base effectively over the next twelve months. In particular:

A structured repayment plan is being finalised for the liability incurred during the year, largely linked to
capital works which will not recur in future years.

• The events programme for 2025–26 is significantly strengthened, including three Cage Warriors events and an expanded roster of external hires and repeat commercial bookings.

Club subscriptions, league fees and academy income have been increased, with a projected uplift of over
£90,000 in recurring revenue.
External hall hire rates have risen by an average of 14%, improving venue income further.
Utility costs are projected to fall, supported by a renegotiated electricity contract saving c.£20,000 per
annum.
Staffing levels and payroll costs are expected to remain stable in the short to medium term.
Agreements are already in place with key partners such as Newcastle College, expected to contribute
c.£200,000 in income for 2025–26.

EAGLES COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

• Several legacy loans are now repaid or nearing completion, reducing outgoings and strengthening the Foundation’s cash position.

One-off costs linked to planning and site development have been fully settled and will not recur.

Based on these factors and planned operational activity, the Trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the Foundation’s ability to continue as a going concern

b. Reserves policy

At the year end, the Group holds £3,526,800 (2023: £3,691,980) in unrestricted funds and £34,465 (2023: £Nil) in restricted funds, giving total funds of £3,561,265 (2023: £3,691.980).

The Trustees have a target to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of charitable expenditure. At the year ended 31 July 2024 this equates to approximately £447,000 (2023: £407,631). At this level of free reserves, the Group could maintain all operations for three months if no income was being generated. Free reserves was negative £(208,200) (2023: £41,398) at the year end. The Trustees are aware free reserves need to increase and plan to increase fees for delivery to coincide with increases due to inflation and Government policy, such as NI and the minimum wage. The plan for fundraising has also increased with additional volunteers and local businesses coming forward to support the Foundation. This would increase the free reserves available.

c. Principal risks and uncertainties

Risks to the organisation have been identified and are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and appropriate action is taken when needed:

ensuring appropriate insurance cover
identifying physical risks such as uneven surfaces
reviewing fire safety systems and training staff
ensuring staff have first aid training
undertaking a general health and safety risk assessment throughout the premises

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Foundation has engaged with Kore Health and Safety to ensure a robust internal structure on policies, training and procedures. Kore also work on events at the Arena, ensuring all health and safety laws and regulations are abided to and the Arena itself is protected with loadings.

A major investment this year has been the resurfacing of the Clumber Street as per planning conditions and the purchasing of Food & Drink equipment.

Plans for the future - Short term

EAGLES COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

Plans for future periods (continued)

STEM: The Science of Basketball, there is a demand from schools to increase the number of delivery workshops to as high as 70 within the academic year. It is hoped funding will be sought to increase to this output.

Marketing: An external marketing company has been tasked with sharing our accomplishments and stories across all platforms. It is expected that our reach will improve along with our services for the community.

Plans for the future - longer term

Arena development: continue initial conversations with the arena extension with the ideal scenario set at an additional 2 basketball courts and 800-1000 seats to enable further community impact.

Arena title sponsorship: having delivered year three of a five-year contract has been rewarding working alongside a like minded community responsible company. The investment is one the Foundation does not take lightly and is working to hopefully continue the partnership beyond 2026.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EAGLES COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Eagles Community Foundation (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 July 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 July 2024 and of the Group's 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 Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 Group's or the parent 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.

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. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion 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 Trustees' Report including the Strategic Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
the Trustees' Report and the Strategic Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the parent charitable company 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.; or

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EAGLES COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, 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 Group's and the parent 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 Group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' 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 an Auditors' Report 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.

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 director 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 identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Group through discussions with management, and from our knowledge and experience of the charitable sector;
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Group, including the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011 et seq., and Charity Commission regulation and. taxation legislation
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
we ensured that the identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit
We assessed the susceptibility of the Group’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud and their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; and
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EAGLES COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
requesting correspondence with HMRC and the Charity Commission.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

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 Auditors' 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's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The address of the registered office is Eagles Community Arena (Vertu Motors Arena), Clumber Street, Scotswood Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, NE4 7AF.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Eagles Community Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and Consolidated Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.

The financial statements are presented in pounds Sterling and rounded to the nearest pound.

2.2 Restatement of comparative figures

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Going concern

• A structured repayment plan is being finalised for the liability incurred during the year, largely linked to capital works which will not recur in future years.

• The events programme for 2025–26 is significantly strengthened, including three Cage Warriors events and an expanded roster of external hires and repeat commercial bookings.

• Club subscriptions, league fees and academy income have been increased, with a projected uplift of over £90,000 in recurring revenue.

• External hall hire rates have risen by an average of 14%, improving venue income further.

• Utility costs are projected to fall, supported by a renegotiated electricity contract saving c.£20,000 per annum.

• Staffing levels and payroll costs are expected to remain stable in the short to medium term.

• Agreements are already in place with key partners such as Newcastle College, expected to contribute c.£200,000 in income for 2025–26.

• Several legacy loans are now repaid or nearing completion, reducing outgoings and strengthening the Foundation’s cash position.

• One-off costs linked to planning and site development have been fully settled and will not recur.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Income

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants are included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.5 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 support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Support costs within the Foundation are wholly allocated to its charitable activities. The fundraising grading activity costs are maintained within the subsidiary company. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Group to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.6 Gift Aid

In the case of a Gift Aid payment made within the Group, income is accrued when the payment is payable to the Parent Company under a legal obligation. Measurement is at the fair value receivable, which will normally be the transaction value.

Where the right to receive Gift Aid has been established, the amount receivable is recognised as investment income in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities.

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property	-	See below
Fixtures and fittings - Arena	-	4% On cost
seating
Fixtures and fittings - Other	-	15% Reducing balance
Computer equipment	-	33% On cost

The board of Trustees have agreed that the building will serve its first 5 years without asset depreciation, given the build quality and ongoing maintenance levels experienced to date. Following this period the Board have agreed to depreciate the building over a 50 year period.

2.8 Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

2.9 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.10 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.11 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

2.12 Financial instruments

The Group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.13 Hire purchase

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets are depreciated over their useful lives.The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

2.14 Pensions

The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Group to the fund in respect of the year.

2.15 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Group and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Group for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
