## B. NEEDS, OBJECTIVES AND DELIVERY 

## Needs 

Young people who are born into disadvantage and live in the most deprived areas are playing catch up with their life prospects. 

- 41% of Birmingham’s children live in poverty and 31% across the West Midlands 

- 43% of Birmingham’s population and 28% of West Midlands population live in the top 10% most deprived areas nationally 

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the disparity between the most disadvantaged and their peers. 

School closures widen the disadvantage gap with disadvantaged pupils having less access to technology, and are therefore spending less time learning and receiving less support from parents and carers compared to their peers (UK Parliament Post). 

- The learning gap between rich and poor pupils at primary schools grew by almost 50% between March and July 2020, with the gap unlikely to narrow without intervention (National Foundation for Education, The Education Endowment Foundation). 

- Young people have been hardest hit by the COVID-19 crisis when it comes to employment. By January 2021, almost 19% of 18 to 24 year olds were no longer working compared to 4% of 25 to 54 year olds. 

- Black and Asian young people are impacted more, they are significantly more likely to be unemployed than their white counterparts (17% and 10% now compared to 8% and 1% pre-pandemic). 

This is leaving young people with the very real prospect of being long term NEET, (not in employment, education or training) growing mental health issues and being unable to bridge the gap between themselves and their peers. 

- The decline in working hours for young people with no qualifications (34%) has been five times higher during the COVID crisis than for those with a degree-level qualification (7%). 

- More than one in four (27%) of 24-year-olds said they were worried about finding a job in the coming months because of their mental health (Guardian). 

- Young people (aged 16 to 29) claiming out of work benefits was on the rise in Birmingham (9%) and the West Midlands (14%) even before the pandemic hit the UK. 

- 14,990 18 to 24 year olds are claiming out of work benefits. 

This leaves young people significantly more likely to be welfare dependent into later life. 

- 18-24 year olds are two and a half times more likely at the end of May to be out of work or still on furlough than any other age group. 

More than one in four young people are worried that poor mental health will affect their ability to find work after the COVID-19 pandemic ends.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)** 

## Objectives and Delivery 

Sport 4 Life UK (S4L) believes in a level playing field where every young person has the opportunity to create a better future for themselves. 

S4L is proud to provide the opportunity for young people aged 11 - 29 to prepare for, and move into, sustained education, employment, or training by improving their employability and key life skills - through its sports-themed mentoring and training services. 

More information can be found on our website (www.sport4life.org.uk), and is included in our 2021 Impact Report, however the outline of S4L’s service delivery is presented below: 

## Recruitment and Outreach 

Young people are recruited into S4L through a range of referrals, including: (i) partner organisation (including the Job Centre Plus), (ii) sport engagement sessions, (iii) community outreach and (iv) digital platforms. Following this, young people go through a structured in-take and needs assessment, and are profiled to determine their eligibility, their needs and barriers, and establish the tailored route that they will take through the model and services. 

## Engagement 

All young people then progress onto a qualified Employability Mentor’s caseload (delivered by our ‘Mentoring’ team). One-to-one mentoring is the key service that runs throughout a young person’s journey with S4L, and covers: action plans, employability support, mentoring and key personal development. 

Following this, and on a needs-led basis, young people then progress onto group-based ‘Training’ activities (delivered by our ‘Training’ team), which include: 

Accredited qualifications 

- Employer encounters (including formal mock interviews) 

- Structured sport 

- Youth-led social action 

- Functional skills 

NCS (National Citizen Service)

**Sport 4 Life UK** (A company limited by guarantee) 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)** 

## Progression 

The bespoke package of mentoring support and training activities support S4L beneficiaries into meaningful and sustainable progression and impact, that is fully evidenced. NEET (not in employment, education or training) young people (aged 16 to 29) progress into employment, education or training, and EET (currently in employment, education or training) young people (aged 11 to 18) progress within employment, education or training. 

S4L supports all beneficiaries following their progression, to ensure that the impact is sustained. S4L works directly with beneficiaries for up to 12 months. 

Our activities and services support these young people to: (i) gain accredited qualifications (including ‘Functional Skills’), (ii) transform their key life skills (motivation, self-esteem, communication, behaviour and teamwork), (iii) improve their mental health and wellbeing, (iv) reduce crime and ASB (if applicable), (v) increase their employability, and (vi) progress from NEET to EET* (including sustained job outcomes). 

*Re-engaged with employment, education or training 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’. 

## C. VOLUNTEERS 

We work with volunteers to support the delivery of our programmes, as well as supporting the volunteers’ development. Volunteers vary in the amount of time they volunteer and programmes they work on. All volunteers receive appropriate and required training, staff support and are subject to an Enhanced DBS check (in line with our DBS policy) - to ensure they can successfully fulfil their role. 

## D. MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN TO FURTHER THE COMPANY’S PURPOSES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT 

The main activities undertaken to further the charity’s purposes for public benefit are outlined above. In developing the activites of the charity the trustees are mindful of the requirement to deliver public benefit and have given due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission in this respect.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021** 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES 

Please see our 2021 Impact Report for more information and insight. 

## ANNUAL REVIEW 

This last year’s pandemic has brought the plight of young people into the spotlight. They have faced a disrupted education, a shrinking jobs market, and isolation from their loved ones. It has negatively impacted their economic security (to a greater extent than for older age groups) and has had a disproportionate impact on their mental health and wellbeing. Too many are losing hope for the future. And - as ever - it is the unemployed, disadvantaged, and those with fewer qualifications and lower confidence, who suffer the most - increasing the disparity between the most disadvantaged and their peers. 

Young people now account for more than two-fifths of the total fall in PAYE employment since the start of the crisis, with employment for young people now down to 9.6% compared with 1.8% for other age groups. Long-term youth unemployment is growing at its fastest rate in a decade and has reached its highest level in five years. 

And a remarkable one in four young people now feel “unable to cope with life” since the start of the pandemic, increasing to 40% for those who are NEET (not in employment, education or training). An estimated 78% have sought professional mental health support (with only 54% receiving some form). 

For these reasons, S4L saw an increased demand for its services compared to last year. And we were able to meet this demand. We supported 2,270 mentoring attendances (vs 1,781 last year) and 3,033 training activity attendances (vs 2,256 last year), delivering a blended approach of in-person and virtual sessions, as we successfully navigated the difficult pandemic landscape. 

## Impact 

Throughout 2020/21, we’ve been proud to meaningfully support 1,015 young people to achieve 592 combined tangible outcomes. 

## Demographics 

946 male 

- 399 female 

- 1 transgender 

- 78% from ethnically diverse backgrounds (37% Asian [Pakistani, Indian, Bangldeshi, Chinese, Afghani], 35% Black [African, Caribbean], 22% White British and 6% Other [European, Arab, Irish, Welsh])

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## A. PERFORMANCE 

Sport 4 Life UK is in a stable financial position, and the organisation’s finances are managed effectively. The Board aims to maintain unrestricted reserves equivalent to three months of total expenditure, in order to provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse circumstances. The Directors also review the controls over key financial systems, as outlined in the Financial Policy, on an annual basis. S4L raises its funds through grants, contracts, trusts and donations. 

## B. 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. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. 

## C. RESERVES POLICY 

S4L’s reserves policy is to hold, and maintain, cash reserves equivalent to three months total expenditure, based on the financial year’s total budget. As at 30th June 2021 this amount equated to £218,567. This will be held as unrestricted reserves, to allow flexibility on its application, should this be required. At the year end unrestricted reserves were £277,912 (2020: £224,211) which was above the target level for 2021 however due to our plans for growth within the 2022 financial year we have budgeted for our expenditure cost to be £1,345,000 which equates to a reserves target of £336,500 in 2022. Therefore our reserves at the year end (30 June 2021) has helped us to build toward our 2022 reserves target. 

These reserves are to cover any unexpected drop in income, as well as protection for the charity’s core services, operations, and key overheads. It also provides security for future growth. 

S4L’s reserves policy is reviewed annually, and will be reviewed again in July 2022.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021** 

## D. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES 

The Directors actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis. Key risks are recorded on the organisation’s Risk Register, are regularly managed by the leadership team, and are reviewed by the Board quarterly. The Risk Register ensures that risks are recorded and highlighted, effectively articulated, and have clear and effective mitigation strategies. Whilst not an exhaustive list, some of the key risks the organisation has faced include: 

- Loss of income - A competitive funding market, an unknown post-pandemic financial landscape and a deficit-model approach to income generation (where the target income for specific projects, services or reserves exceeds secured income at the start of the year), combined with key growth targets, presents a clear risk of loss of income. This is effectively mitigated by implementing a structured funding strategy, allocating appropriate and expert internal resources to income generation, showcasing our transformational impact to funders and commissioners, and through sufficient reserves (in line with our reserves policy). 

- Cashflow - Year-on-year growth, an increased proportion of funders and commissioners paying in arrears (especially payment-by-result commissioners), and increased annual costs present a cashflow risk. This is effectively mitigated, through clear financial controls and effective financial policies and processes - including tight monitoring of monthly cashflow. 

- Unforeseen costs - Unprecedented recent changes have highlighted the unpredictability of stable delivery in the sector, and the need to stay flexible, resilient and adaptable. This increases the risk of potential unforeseen expenditure and need for funds. This can be to cover loss of income (see above), challenging cashflow (see above), unexpected bills, ‘seed-funding’ for urgent projects (or significant changes to demand), changes to staffing resources (e.g. increased sickness absences), or time to take action. This risk is mitigated by an effective reserves policy that demonstrates our resilience and capacity to manage unforeseen financial difficulties. Further mitigation is provided by careful financial management and processes, and a structured and effective approach to HR management - inclusive of a pool of seasonal staff to support operational delivery and capacity where required. 

## E. PRINCIPAL FUNDING 

Once again the organisation has attracted a healthy balance of grant funding and contracts. With some income generated from a combination of national, regional and local funders and trusts. 

## F. FUNDRAISING 

During this financial year the charity worked with a third party to source funding from grant making trusts and bodies. This is reviewed on a regular basis and a decision has been for this to cease within the next financial year. 

The charity does not seek to raise funds proactively from individuals. 

Due to the nature of fundraising the charity does not consider it necessary to adopt one of the voluntary codes for fundraising. There have been no complaints received by the charity in the year in respect of fundraising.

**Sport 4 Life UK** (A company limited by guarantee) 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021** 

## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** 

There is renewed hope for the future. With restrictions now lifted, young people are increasingly optimistic about their mental health and wellbeing. More and more firms are reporting increased vacancies that are suitable for young people, and certain sectors are showing signs of robust employment growth in the aftermath of the pandemic. And we believe in young people. We believe they intrinsically have the passion and motivation to create a better future for themselves, and just need a helping hand in their journey. 

Whilst the road ahead remains challenging and uncertain, we are certain in our responsibility and desire to support our region’s young people, ensuring this support reaches those most in-need. Our mission at S4L is to provide the opportunity for young people aged 11-29 to prepare for, and move into, sustained education, employment, or training, by improving their employability and key life skills - through its sports-themed mentoring and training services. 

Through the lens of our seven workstreams (Finance & Governance, HR & Workforce, Operations, Funding, Marketing & Digital, Business Development and Impact), we have a clear Action Plan for achieving our ambitions and targets in the year ahead. 

More information is available in our ‘2021/22 Strategy’ document (including our strategy, partnerships, targets and KPIs, and our key priorities), but key actions over the next 12 months within this strategy include: 

Embed a youth-led and youth-voice culture 

- Continue to growth the organisation - operationally, financially and geographically 

- Continue to value, support and develop our team - so we are expertly equipped to support our young people to the best of our abilities 

Fulfill our ongoing commitments to normalise equality and improve diversity 

- Continue to implement an insight-led and transparent approach to our impact 

- Make technological and digital step-changes and advancements to ensure our systems and processes are efficient and future-proof 

As the leading sport-for-employment charity in the West Midlands, we are well positioned - strategically and operationally - to meet these ambitions for the year ahead. 

Our new 2021/22 year marks an incredible 15 years since our inception. And whilst our journey has been full of successes, learning, development and growth - this milestone brings a renewed thirst to do more, learn more and be more. 

We will continue to manage the charity in a prudent manner which will ensure the long-term sustainability of the organisation.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ 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. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021** 

## 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 

Sport 4 Life UK is a charitable company registered in England and Wales.  Its principal activity is to operate a sport for employment charity.  It provides the opportunity for young people (aged 11 to 29) to prepare for and move into sustained education, employment, or training by improving their employability and key life skills, through a sports-themed personal development service.  Its registered office is Unit 121-122 Scott House, The Custard Factory, Gibb Street, Digbeth, Birmingham, B9 4AA. 

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

Sport 4 Life UK 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 financial statements are presented in £ sterling, its functional currency and rounded to the nearest £. 

## 2.2 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 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.

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

## 2.3 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Company 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 Company’s objectives, as well as any associated support costs. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## 2.4 INTEREST RECEIVABLE 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 

## 2.5 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION 

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 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. 

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

Depreciation is provided on the following bases: 

Fixtures and fittings - Over 5 years 

Computer equipment - Over 3 years

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

## 2.6 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. 

## 2.7 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. 

## 2.8 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 Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. 

## 2.9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

The Company 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. 

## 2.10 OPERATING LEASES 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

## 2.11 PENSIONS 

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

## 2.12 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 Company and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

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. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
