The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: The audited financial statements comply with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities and complying with the provisions of the charity’s governing document 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 Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act (2006) and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

Having due regard to public benefit, Active Communities Network is a Sport for Development charity committed to the use and promotion of sports, arts and cultural activities to improve youth citizenship, social inclusion and community cohesion in the UK and overseas.

Significant activities

Like any charity, Active Communities Network must work in an ever changing social, economic and political environment, whilst ensuring our programmes and services remain sustainable and deliver the highest quality outcomes for our users. The year was significantly impacted by the unprecedented outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. ACN adapted quickly to the challenge and worked alongside funders to deliver quality projects via alternative methods ensuring the needs of young people were still met. Responding to these challenges has resulted in the charity delivering the following significant activities:

Frontline Projects: Delivering youth and sports engagement services in areas of high deprivation and youth crime, focusing on London, Manchester, Belfast and Portsmouth/Havant primarily via digital means due to the pandemic.

Training and Citizenship: Through our learning centre we deliver personal development, vocational training and accredited courses to national standards 1 & 2, and support participants to utilise those skills through social action projects that benefit the wider community.

Workforce Development: The strength of Active Communities Network lies within its staff, whether full - time, part - time or volunteer, many of whom come from the very communities in which we work and in many cases through our own programmes. We invest in our staff through on-going training and professional development and ensure that core team members are multi-skilled. All our full - time staff are qualified in at least two of the following three vocational areas - Sports' Coaching, Youth and Community Work and/or Education and Lifelong Leaming. We also offer training to like-minded organisations in the UK and Ireland, and globally via an International Development Manager.

Partnership Programming: We have a firm belief in the value of networks and joint working. In this way we can maximise the impact of funding, avoid duplication and provide a wider range of services to our communities. Partnerships also mean specialist services can be provided within a wider supportive framework of activity to support the most vulnerable in our society. As the geographic reach of Active Communities Network has expanded, so too has our need for strong, reliable partners who share our vision and values. This applies to our delivery, funding and strategic partners across all regions and areas of our work.

Research and Evaluation: We understand that funders, partners and project staff need to ensure that programmes are practical, cost effective and achieve results. Active Communities Network has adopted an online monitoring and evaluation framework developed specifically to reflect our programmes, to provide us with evidence to demonstrate a range of outputs. To complement this evidence base, we implement independent evaluations that provide qualitative reports on outcomes, methodologies, best practice and recommendations.

Promoting a mixed Economy: Active Communities Network has adopted a 'mixed economy' approach to our work to ensure we are not overly reliant on a single funding system. Private sector partnerships, grant making trusts, statutory sector and government grants, social enterprise activity and fundraising events are all key components of our financial structure

Public benefit

The trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Volunteers

Active Communities Network benefits greatly from the commitment and support of several volunteers and their contribution is gratefully acknowledged. The contributions of volunteers have been excluded from the Statement of Financial Activities as the value of their contribution to the charity cannot be reasonably quantified in financial terms.

Principal achievements have been:-

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The Charity Commission recognises the need for charities to hold sufficient reserves to secure their viability beyond the immediate future and to protect themselves against future uncertainties. It recommends that charities should be able to demonstrate, by reference to the charity's current position and prospects, why holding a particular level of reserves is right for the charity at the present time. Responsibility for establishing an appropriate reserves policy lies with the trustees of the charity.

The charity's reserves are allocated to two different types of fund in its financial statements:

Restricted funds

These funds relate to unspent money from grants and other incoming sources where the funder has specified what the money must be spent on and the trustees do not have the power to use the funds for other purposes.

Unrestricted funds

These funds relate to unspent money from grants and other incoming sources where the funder has not specified what the money should be spent on thereby granting the trustees full control to spend on general activities which further the objectives of the charity.

Reasons for Unrestricted funds

The organisation's balance of unrestricted funds is built up for three main reasons: a) operational contingency b) innovation and change and c) upfront investment resulting in social returns and future cost synergies.

Unrestricted reserves may be needed to provide cover and security in the following specific events:

Policy and procedures

The trustees have reviewed the level of reserves needed by the charity and agreed that:

Reserves review

The level of reserves will be reviewed annually by the trustees, and the charity's financial position will be monitored by the trustees on a regular basis (unless financial circumstances require a more urgent change).

As at 31/03/2021, the restricted fund stood at £476,265 (2020: £410,940).

FUTURE PLANS

Key plans for the development of the charity in 2021-22 include:

This will enable the charity to continue to be at the forefront of the Sport and Social development sector(s), whilst continuing to deliver high quality services to the young people and communities with which we work.

The Memorandum and Articles of Association have since been amended and the latest governing document has been adopted by special resolution dated 8 September 2009.

Charity status

Active Communities Network is a company limited by guarantee without share capital, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Active Communities Network was registered as a charity, dated 15 October 2007, with the Charity Commission.

Membership

The company has no share capital, but in the event of the company winding up, the members have undertaken to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 to the assets of the company. Trustees are not members as individuals and therefore do not hold guarantees.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The Board of Trustees can appoint new trustees by Ordinary Resolution. New trustees are appointed who have a knowledge and experience of the sport, youth / community development and education sectors in both the UK and overseas or have a specialist knowledge base that can aid the charity in achieving its goals and meeting its responsibilities.

Organisational structure

The charity is managed by regular trustees' meetings.

On a day to day basis the business is managed by the joint Chief Executive Officers, responsible for the wider strategy and performance of the charity and its obligations.

The joint Chief Executive Officers manage a senior staff team comprised of Heads of Programmes in London, Belfast, Manchester and Portsmouth responsible for the performance, sustainability and growth of regional and national initiatives, a Director of HR and Finance responsible for the financial wellbeing and planning of the charity and its staffing support structures and a Head of Compliance, responsible for the governance of the charity. Local project delivery is managed by relevant managers and co-ordinators who oversee delivery staff.

Induction and training of new trustees

New trustees are provided with a one to one briefing of the charity's objectives and procedures and their own responsibilities as a trustee.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Risks and risk management are discussed at board meetings, with the joint Chief Executive Officers and senior staff team flagging new risks with trustees as they occur. A Finance and Risk sub group has been established which meets quarterly.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF ACTIVE COMMUNITIES NETWORK LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Active Communities Network Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our 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 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.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

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

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF ACTIVE COMMUNITIES NETWORK LIMITED

Responsibilities of trustees

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

Our 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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:

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the industry and through discussion with the directors and other management (as required by auditing standards), we identified that the principal risks are:

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team

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 r

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 Report of the Independent Auditors.

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 the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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 financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

Preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis

The financial statements are drawn up on the going concern basis which assumes Active Communities Network will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Board of Trustees have given due consideration to the working capital and cash flow requirements of Active Communities Network. The Board of Trustees consider Active Communities Network's current and forecast cash resources to be sufficient to cover the working capital requirements of the charity for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Board of Trustees to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for income and expenditure during the period. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income received in advance of a service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. Income arises in the United Kingdom.

Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Gifts in kind are valued at estimated value to the charity. They are included in the charity's financial statements if the estimated value is in excess of £500.

Interest receivable on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Unrestricted charitable donations are recognised in the financial statements when the charitable donation has been received, or if, before receipt, there is sufficient evidence to provide the necessary certainty that the donation will be received and the value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donated professional services and facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time is not recognised. On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. A further analysis of this expenditure is given in the notes to the financial statements.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost
Computer equipment - 33% on cost

All tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of a tangible fixed asset initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

All assets with an expected useful life exceeding one year are capitalised. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.

Taxation

The charity is an institution within the meaning of the Charities Act 2011 and as such is a charity within the meaning of Section 506(1) of the Taxes Act 1988. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains within categories covered by Section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. The charity receives no similar exemption in respect of Value Added Tax.

The charity is an institution which is established for charitable purposes within the meaning of the Charities Act 2011 and as such is a charity within the meaning of Para 1 of Schedule 6 to the Finance Act 2010. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Sections 478-488 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (formerly enacted in Section 505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988) or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied to exclusively charitable purposes. The charity receives no similar exemption in respect of Value Added Tax. For this reason the charity is generally unable to recover input VAT it incurs on goods and services purchased.

Fund accounting

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or governing document.

Unrestricted funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charity's objectives. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.

Transfers are made from unrestricted to restricted funds to cover any overspends on restricted projects during the year where cost will not be met by the funder. Transfers between restricted funds and from restricted to unrestricted funds are made with the permission of the funder.

Further details of each fund are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs

The charitable company contributes a group personal pension plan (GPPP). Employees contract directly with the pension company and have their own plan in their own name within the GPPP. Contributions by the charity and employees are determined by the scheme rules. The charity acts as agent in collecting and paying over employee pension contributions. Once the contributions have been paid, the charity as employer has no further obligations. From 1 April 2015, under the Pensions Act 2008, the charity must put certain staff into a pension scheme and contribute towards it. This is called automatic enrolment and the GPPP is compliant in this regard. Contributions charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in respect of pension costs is the total of contributions payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the balance sheet.

Contributions outstanding at the reporting date amounted to £4,341 (2020: £3,717).

Financial instruments

Financial assets (including cash and debtors) and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Additionally, all financial assets and liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.

Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs) and are subsequently remeasured where applicable at amortised cost.

Financial assets include cash, trade debtors and other debtors.

Financial liabilities include trade creditors, other creditors and accruals.

RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31 March 2021 (2020: £nil).

At the date of approval of these financial statements, the world is in the midst of the Covid-19 global pandemic with some countries only now starting to release lockdown measures introduced to contain the spread of the virus. The impact on the global economy is uncertain, but there is an expectation of recession. There is a risk that we will see an adverse impact on the charity sector and its operations. During the year, the funding levels and cashflow were affected significantly which was mitigated to some extent by additional funding generated from Covid-19 support grants from various funders and the HMRC furlough scheme. The organization is doing everything it can to ensure operational continuity and protecting staff and the communities it serves, which is the overriding priority. At this point in time, the company Trustees have reviewed the financial forecasts for the short term (up to one year) and are satisfied that Active Communities Network Limited’s ability to operate as a going concern is not in doubt.
