CLUB PELOTON 1
Trustees’ report (including directors’ report) Year ended 30 June 2025
The Board of Trustees present their report together with the consolidated financial statements of Club Peloton for the year ended 30 June 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 15 to 17 of the attached financial statements and comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the charitable company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Company registration
The charitable company is registered in England and Wales as company number 06383981 and is registered with the Charity Commission as charity number 1122230. The registered office address is Coram Campus, 41 Brunswick Square, London WC1N 1AZ.
Purposes and activities
Club Peloton was incorporated on 27 September 2007 as a company limited by guarantee with no share capital and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 24 August 2007 which were updated on 25 March 2009. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. The charitable company is based in the United Kingdom and operates from offices in London.
The charitable company changed its name from Cycle To Cannes to Club Peloton with effect from 24 December 2015.
The principal object of the charitable company is to apply the available income and capital of the charitable company in such a manner as the trustees think fit for objects or purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales. The charitable company achieves its objectives by making charitable donations which are primarily funded by an annual charitable cycle ride to Cannes which is organised and administered by the charitable company’s trading subsidiary, Club Peloton Trading Limited.
The trading subsidiary changed its name from Cycle To Limited to Club Peloton Trading Limited with effect from 23 November 2015.
Public benefit
In setting the charitable company’s objectives and planning its activities, the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
Grant making policy
In 2024-25 Club Peloton supported a number of charities. Coram remains the main beneficiary, receiving 60% of the grants payable. The Tom ap Rhys Pryce Memorial Trust and Cyclists Fighting Cancer both received smaller grants. In addition, the trustees consider applications from other charitable organisations, as and when they are received, for various levels of support.
As the principal beneficiary, Coram provide enhanced support to Club Peloton including office, meeting and storage space along with staff support.
CLUB PELOTON 2
Trustees’ report (including directors’ report) Year ended 30 June 2025
Achievements and performance
The charity has working groups of trustees focussing on finance, charity, marketing, H&S and community. These report to quarterly board meetings to help deliver the charity’s growth and development. In addition, a Futures Board, has been formed consisting of seven NextGen representatives, who are all under 35, from across the real estate industry, to help shape Club Peloton's next 20 years. The next generation are the lifeblood of both the property industry and the future of Club Peloton.
A new fundraising model was successfully rolled out, with each event raising money for only one of our three charity partners at a time, delivering one specific project. It aims to help riders raise money through a clearer fundraising message and to report and demonstrate more easily the direct impact it has when delivered. Feedback from riders, communications teams, and the beneficiary charity has been positive.
The charity has had a busy year of activity, kicking off in early summer supporting riders taking part in the Dunwich Dynamo, closely followed by the City of London Shrieval Charity Cycle Ride. After the summer break, September witnessed a season launch where a review of the past year and plans for the 12 months ahead were showcased, focussing on the continuing social impact of Club Peloton’s fundraising. The evening was also an opportunity to bring together a variety of rider groups from both our own fundraising events as well as client rides. Autumn also saw launches for both Cycle to MIPIM, pedElle and UKREiiF.
Fundraising rides kicked off at the end of the month with the inaugural Explore ride in Italy, bringing together senior leaders and rising NextGen stars for three days of small group riding and networking. The ride was designed to appeal to senior leaders with a relaxed format and plenty of time off the bike for conversation. There were also client rides for the Council for Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), COLT, Buro Happold, Knight Frank, HTS, and a day of mountain biking for British Land.
Efforts continued in November to build the Arbitration community and grow attendance on March's PAW ride through the first of our Sunrise Cycles, an early morning ride in the desert outside of Dubai for those attending Dubai Arbitration Week (DAW). The ride was attended by over 50 people, finishing off with a networking breakfast. Our second ride to Paris Arbitration Week, doubled in size to 25 riders with some riders who took part in DAW joining the event. March was also the month of our flagship Knight Frank Cycle to MIPIM, offering both four and six day options using a newly devised route.
By spring we were firmly back in our stride with our regular BCO ride, this time staying heading to Europe for three glorious days of riding from Venice to Milan, via the breathtaking scenery of the Italian Lakes. At the same time, we ran our ride to UKREiiF for 25 people departing from South Wales to UKREiiF in Leeds. Rides for British Land and a three-day event from Swansea to Dublin for Universal Music were held before we rounded off the season with our 12th edition of pedElle, and a return to Ireland to sample the breathtaking Wild Atlantic Way, Wicklow Mountains, and city of Dublin.
Total unrestricted and restricted funds distributed as a result of the 2024-25 rides amounted to £215,100 (2024 – £251,129) which were given to the following organisations:
CLUB PELOTON 3
Trustees’ report (including directors’ report) Year ended 30 June 2025
Coram (£100,000) acts every day to support the UK’s most vulnerable children, young people and families. Coram works with more than 44,000 children and parents every year. Coram Children’s Legal Centre offers specialist advice to thousands more, and Coram Life Education provides health and drugs education to a further 800,000 school children.
Coram’s pioneering approach and range of services – including adoption, creative therapies and supported housing for care leavers – help children and young people to find stability, love and self worth.
Coram champion what matters most for children, creating better chances and a brighter, happier future.
The Tom ap Rhys Pryce Memorial Trust (Tom’s Trust) (£15,000) is a charitable trust assisting disadvantaged children in achieving their potential by gaining access to appropriate educational facilities and opportunities. Each year Tom’s Trust supports many different projects which help disadvantaged young people in London. The Trust aims to help fund local charities that offer a real benefit to young people. The money raised by Club Peloton in 2024-25 has helped fund three of these projects: the Bethwin Football Club in Peckham, Switchback in East London, and the OK Club in Kilburn. In addition, Tom’s Trust has also helped fund the Toynbee Hall ‘Aspire’ programme for teenagers living in Tower Hamlets and SE1United, an organisation on the South Bank helping young people realise their potential.
Cyclists Fighting Cancer (£84,000) assists children and young people living with cancer across the UK with their physical fitness, strength, mental wellness and confidence by giving them new bikes, specially adapted trikes, tandems, other equipment and support. They are passionate about sharing all the benefits of exercise and activity for people living with and beyond cancer.
Ad-hoc grants were paid to Save The Children of £15,000 (2024 - £nil), Work From Bed of £1,100 (2024 - £nil) and Charity Begins at Segro of £nil (2024 - £1,129).
There was also a small amount of fundraising paid directly by riders to some of the supported charities and these donations are not reflected in the financial statements.
Financial review
The trading subsidiary generated income of £800,480 (2024 – £622,687) which was made up of corporate sponsorship income of £281,500 (2024 – £285,872), riders’ fees of £386,328 (2024 – £282,286) and other income of £132,652 (2024 – £54,529). The trading subsidiary also received other operating income of £39,307 (2024 – £40,275) which related to management charges receivable from Club Peloton.
Overall the trading subsidiary generated a loss, before gift aid, of £33,669 (2024 – £126,759). No gift aid was remitted to the charitable company as the trading subsidiary has negative reserves.
Unrestricted donations received by the charitable company as a result of the rides amounted to £289,543 (2024 – £295,999). This enabled the charitable company to distribute £215,100 (2024 – £251,129) to the charities of its choice as detailed above. A consolidated loss of £51,952 (2024 – £173,356) was achieved, leaving unrestricted funds carried forward at the year end of £261,883
CLUB PELOTON 4
Trustees’ report (including directors’ report) Year ended 30 June 2025
(2024 – £313,835) and restricted funds carried forward at the year end of £6,001 (2024 – £6,001). These surplus funds will be expended in future years in line with the charitable company’s objects.
Plans for future periods
At the end of the financial year, planning for Club Peloton’s 20th anniversary in 2026 was underway, with trustees actively working through ideas of how to mark the occasion. In addition, two new team events are being added to the autumn calendar, a one-day event in the UK and a three-day event in Europe. Both are established industry events but are looking for new custodians to take them on and grow for the future.
Reserves policy
The charitable company is heavily dependent on donations from the public and other bodies, the timing and level of which cannot be anticipated with any certainty. In order to pursue its charitable objects effectively and meet its legal and contractual obligations, it therefore needs to hold a reasonable level of unrestricted reserves for working capital as protection against periods where funding is not forthcoming.
Pay and remuneration policy
Pay and remuneration of employees is jointly agreed by the trustees and Chief Executive Officer and is benchmarked against salary indexes within the charity sector. The Chief Executive Officer’s salary is set and approved by the trustees.
Risk management
There are risks facing both the charitable company and trading subsidiary as a slowing economy and subdued real estate sector continue to persist far longer than in previous economic cycles. It continues to be a challenge to secure and retain both corporate support for sponsorship and rider entries. As a result, the trading subsidiary continues to diversify its activities to explore and launch new events to grow and engage a broader range of fundraisers to help sustain income and encourage growth. The trustees and CEO are also actively exploring options to reduce the retained loss of the Trading company over a three year period, through a mix of cost cutting and new and increased revenue streams.
Going concern
The subsidiary trading company has a net deficit which has arisen from losses from prior financial years. The net deficit is financed by a short term loan from the parent undertaking. The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the subsidiary trading company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
Structure, governance and management
Trustees
A trustee is a member of the Board of Trustees of Club Peloton and a director for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006. The trustees who held office during the year, or who have been appointed since the year end, are:
CLUB PELOTON 5
Trustees’ report (including directors’ report) Year ended 30 June 2025
P S Burke S E Cary B A Fowler E Goodford L Gunn N Gordon R Blair D Marriott A Freeman
The trustees comprise the membership of the charitable company. Trustees are appointed by the charitable company by ordinary resolution. The Board keeps the skill requirement of the trustee body under review and is keen to ensure that representation is sufficiently diverse to meet the needs of the charitable company. Candidates are selected on the basis that they have the relevant skills and necessary commitment to contribute to the charitable company’s development.
New trustees are provided with an induction pack which will include the Charity Commission publication CC3a (“The Essential Trustee: An Introduction”), financial statements of the charitable company and its subsidiary undertaking, minutes of recent trustees’ meetings and a copy of the charitable company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association. The trustees are re-appointed by the members of the charitable company at a general meeting and are re-elected in rotation in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The Board meets regularly, particularly in the period prior to the main fundraising cycle ride and all trustees take an active interest in the charitable company. The day to day management and administration of the annual cycle ride and the charitable company is undertaken by Nick Hanmer. He is employed jointly by the charitable company and its trading subsidiary as the Chief Executive Officer. Decisions on the charitable company’s future strategy are undertaken by the trustees and Chief Executive Officer at regular meetings. Decisions are made by a majority vote. In the case of an equality of votes, the person who is chairing the meeting shall have a casting vote, in addition to any other vote he or she may have.
Indemnity given by the charitable company in favour of its trustees
The trustees are indemnified by the charitable company against any liability incurred by them in that capacity to the extent permitted by the Companies Act 2006. No insurance policy affecting cover against any such liability has been purchased by the charitable company.
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The trustees (who are also directors of Club Peloton for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ report and 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 which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
CLUB PELOTON 6
Trustees’ report (including directors’ report) Year ended 30 June 2025
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Statement of Recommended Practice (Accounting and Reporting by Charities) (the Charities’ SORP);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable 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 charitable company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement as to disclosure to our auditors
In so far as the trustees are aware at the time of approving our trustees’ annual report:
-
there is no relevant information, being information needed by the auditor in connection with preparing the report, of which the group’s auditor is unaware; and
-
the trustees, having made enquiries of fellow directors and the group’s auditor that they ought to have individually taken, have each taken all steps that he/she is obliged to take as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

CLUB PELOTON 7
Independent auditors’ report to the members of Club Peloton Year ended 30 June 2025
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Club Peloton (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 30 June 2025, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), consolidated statement of financial position, 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 FRS 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 parent charitable company’s affairs as at 30 June 2025 and of its 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 auditor's 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 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
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
CLUB PELOTON 8
Independent auditors’ report to the members of Club Peloton Year ended 30 June 2025
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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 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.
Opinions 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 director’s report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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' 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:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the 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
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the directors' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
CLUB PELOTON 9
Independent auditors’ report to the members of Club Peloton Year ended 30 June 2025
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors 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 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.
Auditor's 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 auditor's 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 gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management.
We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

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 auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity'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 charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's 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 charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed

Incoming resources

Incoming resources from commercial trading operations represents consultancy fees, amounts received from companies for corporate sponsorship of the event, and amounts received from riders to participate in the event. These amounts are stated net of values added tax, except where the turnover falls within the Tour Operators’ Margin Scheme. Incoming resources are deferred where the charitable company is not entitled to the income until a future accounting year.
Charitable donations raised by the event are recognised as incoming resources from generated funds in the charitable company.
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charitable company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category of expenditure.
Costs of generating funds comprise costs incurred by the charitable company’s trading subsidiary relating to the running and administration of the event, and costs incurred by the charitable company to administer their online giving.
Costs of charitable activities include grants payable in furtherance of the charitable company’s objects. Grants payable represent donations to other charities and are accounted for when paid unless a firm commitment exists at the year end to pay grants in future periods in which case, grants payable are accrued in full.
Support costs are those incurred in connection with the administration and operation of the charitable company and are allocated in full to the sole activity of the charitable company, that of grant making.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charitable company and includes audit fees.

-
Fixtures and fittings - over three years
-
Computer equipment - over three years
-
Motor vehicles - over five years
CLUB PELOTON 16
Principal accounting policies Year ended 30 June 2025
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in years if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Investments

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to the statement of financial activities.
Pensions
The subsidiary trading company contributes to its director’s defined contribution stakeholder pension scheme at the rates agreed with the individual. Contributions are charged to the statement of financial activities as they become payable in accordance with the contribution agreement between the company and the director.
Going Concern
The subsidiary trading company has a net deficit which has arisen from losses from prior financial years. The net deficit is financed by a short term loan from the parent undertaking. The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the subsidiary trading company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
Irrecoverable VAT
