PLACES TO PLAY

Facilities Strategy

The local insight for Lancashire highlights an inequality of access to cricket facilities which is particularly apparent in urban areas, amongst women and girls, diverse communities and people from lower socio-economic groups.

Our Facilities Strategy is designed to initiate a step-change in cricket's infrastructure in Lancashire through:

  1. Welcoming club facilities – maximise the carrying capacity and activation of existing cricket grounds and facilities

  2. Schools, park and development facilities – improve access to cricket for all through welcoming and inclusive facilities

  3. Urban facilities – providing welcoming, safe, flexible and accessible community facilities

  4. Sustainable planning and investment – securing cricket spaces, promoting environmental sustainability and maximising partnerships

National Lottery support gained for Emirates Old Trafford Heritage site

Lancashire Cricket Foundation, in partnership with Lancashire Cricket, received initial support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to develop the Lancashire Cricket Heritage Experience.

Upgrade the existing Lancashire Cricket Library to make the space more welcoming and accessible, creating an archive room and safe storage space for artefacts.

FUNDRAISING

Memory Wall

A new installation at Emirates Old Trafford where people can pay tribute to and celebrate a loved one through a personalised plaque. Located underneath the tunnel behind the Pavilion Reception, the wall is the perfect way to remember a loved one and be part of a lasting legacy at the ground.

Golf Day

Our annual golf day took place at the magnificent Worsley Park Marriott Hotel and Country Club raising vital funds for our community cricket programmes.

Structure, governance and management

The Trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are set out on page 1.

The Trustees meet at least six times per year and on any other occasion as judged necessary in order to review progress and determine matters of strategy & policy.

Every decision of the Trustees shall be determined by the majority of votes of the Trustees present and voting on the question. There shall be a quorum when two Trustees are present at any meeting.

All Trustees serve a three year term following which they can seek re-appointment. The existing Trustees have the power to appoint further Trustees provided they have attained the age of eighteen years and are not disqualified from taking office. The Trustees are not actively recruiting at present but have measures in place to consider potential applicants as they might arise.

New Trustees undergo some training to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision making processes of the Foundation, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

The operational management of the charity is headed by an Executive Director. Performance of this position and the charity itself are reviewed at all Foundation Board meetings and any decisions on remuneration of all staff members are ratified by the Trustees.

We believe that all the Trustees have the experience required to carry out their duties effectively.

As detailed in Note 12 to the financial statements, the Charity has two related parties, Lancashire County Cricket Club and Lancashire County Cricket Club Development Association, for which the Charity is the sole member.

Financial review

During the year the Foundation made a loss of £6,502 (2023 £21,832).

As at 31 December 2024 the Foundation bank account balance was £414,308 and the liability due to the Lancashire County Cricket Club has increased from £30,618 to £54,832 during the year.

During the year, the Foundation received donations amounting to £2,183,248 (2023: £2,061,690). In addition, the Foundation received event income of £69,795 (2023: £110,473). Including donations this contributed towards total income of £2,488,841 (2023: £2,442,039).

The Foundation has incurred expenses in relation to charitable activities during the course of the year relating to payroll costs £1,754,923 (2023: £1,654,439) and other charitable costs £623,786 (2023: £680,677).

The Trustees remain confident that the Foundation can continue to operate for at least the next twelve months. Financial projections have been prepared using largely guaranteed revenues, and with costs based on actual spend in 2024. These forecasts and resulting positive operating cashflows will result in the Foundation generating surpluses during 2025. Finally, the key strategic partner, Lancashire County Cricket Club, have re-affirmed their support and will only require settlement of any debtors due from the Foundation during the next twelve months, as and when it can be afforded.

The Charity only distributes grants as directed by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for specific programmes designed to support cricket club development and cricket club improvement work. The funding amounts are fixed by the ECB, the Foundation monitors the performance of a club against any grant allocated. All funding distributed in this way contributes to the strategic aim to ‘Support the development of ‘Great Teams’, providing the infrastructure support necessary to ensure a sustainable and successful club & league network is in place across the North West.

Future Plans

As reported in last year’s Future Plans, the Charity is pleased to confirm that it will be entering into a new County Partnership Agreement with the games governing body the England and Wales Cricket Board from 2025 to 2029.

The new agreement comes with significant additional funding which will be strategically deployed to support the Lancashire Cricket Foundation Countywide plan key priorities:

There are further pots of money available to us from the ECB to support Cricket in activities outlined in the Countywide that will be published in June 2025 following final approval from the ECB in the form of a special Game Changer Fund that we will be able to apply for once we have attained ‘fit to invest status’ criteria set by the ECB. The LCF Board is committed to obtaining this status by quarter 3 in 2025.

We will continue to work with our other existing partners Chance to Shine, Wicketz, and the Afro Caribbean Engagement Programme (ACE) as we continue to aim to achieve our shared commitment to nurturing cricket at the grassroots level and in Schools, in making Cricket a game for everyone.

The Foundation strives to make cricket a game for all, it is acutely aware of the challenges highlighted in the Independent Commission into Equity in Cricket Report published in 2023. With this in mind, the Foundation continues to play a pivotal role in addressing the issues raised and ensuring that cricket remains accessible and inclusive for everyone in the local community. Furthermore we have invested in additional resource to ensure that the Safeguarding of Young Children and vulnerable adults is high on the list of priorities for everyone involved in Cricket across the County.

In summary, the Lancashire Cricket Foundation continues its commitment to growth and impact, buoyed by strong partnerships, sustainable funding, and a steadfast commitment to advancing the game of cricket while championing equity and inclusivity. The Trustees look forward to the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, confident in the Foundation’s ability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and communities through the power of cricket.

Risk management

The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the Foundation is exposed (listed below) and this topic is regularly discussed at Trustees' meetings.

Safeguarding

The Foundation Staff have day to day engagement with young and vulnerable people, and therefore the Board prioritise the safeguarding of all these individuals. The Board have a designated Safeguarding Lead who oversees the process, with Safeguarding a standard Agenda item at all Board meetings. All staff are suitably trained with a Safeguarding Officer responsibility for monitoring and reporting issues to the Board, and the ECB have a central support team to manage serious cases on our behalf staffed by experts in complex and challenging safeguarding issues.

Financial Sustainability:

At all Board meetings, the Foundation Board scrutinises financial performance set against trading and cash flow forecasts. Visibility of future funding streams is critical to the continuation of the Foundation's activities and maintaining its staffing resources. The Board focus heavily on ensuring the delivery of projects is commensurate with funding received.

This confirmation is given and should be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of S418 of the Companies Act 2006. Hurst Accountants Limited have expressed their willingness to continue in office as auditor.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORʼS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LANCASHIRE CRICKET FOUNDATION LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Lancashire Cricket Foundation Limited (the “Charity”) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities including Income and Expenditure Account, 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, including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 Charity 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 Charity'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 Auditors' Report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Annual Report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:  a satisfactory system of control over transactions has not been maintained; or  the Charity has not kept proper accounting records; or  the financial statements are not in agreement with the books of account; or we have not received all the information and explanations we need for our audit.

Responsibilities of the Trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement on Page 6, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of 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 Charity'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 Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 8

INDEPENDENT AUDITORʼS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LANCASHIRE CRICKET FOUNDATION LIMITED (Cont'd)

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 We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Identifying and assessing potential risks relating to irregularities

In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:

 the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and the Charity's objectives and aims; ● enquiring of management concerning the policies and procedures relating to: · identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations, particularly in relation to the Charity commission, and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; · detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; · the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.  discussions amongst the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud;  obtaining and understanding the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Charity operates in, such as provisions of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, pensions and tax legislation, General Data Protection requirements, Anti-Bribery policy, Health and Safety and the application of other central and local government grants and support.  Communication with The Charity Commission and minutes of Trustees' meetings. Audit response to risks identified

Our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:

 reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;  enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;  reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;  performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;  reviewing manual journals posted by management throughout the period and testing any unusual or unexpected entries;  testing a sample of income and expenditure ensuring that they are in accordance with the aims and objectives of the Charity. We have also considered the risks noted above in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls:  testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, We have used data analytics software to identify accounting transactions which may pose a heightened risk of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;  assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias;  evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

Page 9

INDEPENDENT AUDITORʼS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LANCASHIRE CRICKET FOUNDATION LIMITED (Cont'd)

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures and there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements. For example, the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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 Charityʼs 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 Charityʼs members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorʼs 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 Charityʼs members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Lancashire Cricket Foundation Limited

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024

1 Principal accounting policies

a Company and charitable status Lancashire Cricket Foundation Limited, a public benefit entity, is incorporated in England and Wales as a company limited by guarantee not having a share capital. There are currently 12 Trustees, 1 of whom is also a member of the company. Each member has undertaken to contribute to the assets in the event of winding up a sum not exceeding £10. The charity is a registered charity. The registered office is given on page 1.

b Basis of accounting The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The company is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements as all of its subsidiaries are required to be excluded from consolidation by section 402 of the Companies Act 2006.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

c Income Grants, donations, legacies and voluntary 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. Grants, donations, legacies and voluntary income are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which the above conditions are satisfied.

Investment income

Investment income is accounted for in the year in which the charity is entitled to receipt.

Trading income

Turnover is stated net of VAT and trade discounts. Turnover from the supply of services represents the value of services provided under contracts to the extent that there is a right to consideration and is recorded at the value of the consideration due. Where payments are received from customers in advance of services provided the amounts are recorded as deferred income and included as part of creditors due within one year. All turnover was generated in the UK from the charity's principal activities.

Deferred income

Income received in respect of future periods is treated as deferred income.

d Going concern

The Foundation only makes discreet one-off payments so there are never any obligations to beneficiaries for future funding. In this respect, donations are only made if there are sufficient cash reserves in place.

As set out in the Trustee’s Responsibilities Statement on page 7, in preparing these financial statements the Trustees are required to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Foundation will continue in operation. The Trustees remain confident that the Foundation can continue to operate for at least the next twelve months.

Financial projections have been prepared using largely guaranteed revenues, and with costs based on actual activity from the prior year. These forecasts and resulting positive operating cashflows will result in the Foundation continuing to maintain positive general reserves during 2024. Finally the key strategic partner, Lancashire County Cricket Club, have re-affirmed their support and will only require settlement of any debtors due from the Foundation during the next twelve months, as and when it can be afforded.

e Expenditure

Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

• Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of charitable cricket activities, events, projects and programmes to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charitable cricket activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 5.

f Tax The Foundation is a registered charity and as such is exempt from taxation on its income to the extent that they are applied to its charitable purpose.

Current tax, including UK corporation tax, is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences where the transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the Company's relievable tax losses and its results as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is more likely than not that they will be recovered. Deferred tax is measured using rates of tax that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

1 Principal accounting policies (cont'd)

g Tangible assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets on a straight line basis over their expected useful life as follows:

3 years

h Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Foundation.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through terms of an appeal. The restricted funds are held in the Balance sheet as a combination of cash at bank and amounts due from related parties.

For defined contribution schemes the amount charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in respect of pension costs and other retirement benefits is the 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.

j Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs).

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Cash at bank and cash 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. Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

The charity only have 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 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Foundation’s accounting policies, which are described in note 1, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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

The Trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed above.
