Cliair's Report During the 2024 financial year, the charity, together with the support of its generous ￿nders, was able to deliver a wide range of sporting activities and leadership training optM)rtunities to local children and young people who might otherwise not be able to access sports. These programme5 were delivered in a variety of locations across Hackney, Haringey. and Islington, by our passionate staffing team, who work at the heart of the community to support young people to improve health, fimess, and wellbein& develop new skills and abilities and experience new opportunities. This work has provided rneaningful changes to the lives of many children and young people, who have all challenged themselves, with some attending more advanced leadership courses. An impressive 70 participants used their leadership qualifications to volunteer either is our charity's programmes, or with local sports groups. Our charity works with people, and especially young people, from a broad spectrurn of backgrounds, nationalities, communities. of differing ability and engagemenl level4 with many coming frorn disadvantaged backgrounds featuring high levels of poverty. and with most coming from ethnically diverse background5. Our programme5 are therefore aimed at tackling the toxic combination of poverty, health inequality and physical inactivity which is reflected in poor health, whilst also fighting against inequality, discrimination and racism. As Chair, l am passionate of the benefits that sporting activities can have in helping children and young people to feel well supported and to help them to gain new lifelong skills and confidence, which will help them to become empowered and engaged in their local communities, and this in turn will help them to feel better Connected and inspired, and ultimately lead to better rnental and physical health outcomes.

We offered different activities for different age groups and included female only sessions.

ANNUAL REPORT (including Director's Report) (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Basketball We have developed a good partnership with the London Metropolitan University, and we use their sports facilities on weekly basis to deliver a series of basketball sessions. This helps to address a key sporting inequality (access to facilitie5) and offer young people froTn local estate5 and the community the opportunity to take part in basketball coaching using high quality facilities (which would not otherwise be available to them). The enforced closure of the Sobell leisure centre due to flooding further continued to exacerbate the challenges we face in securing suitable venues for youth sports such as basketball. The programme has seen high nurnbers of young people benefitting frotn coJnmitted engagement, skill and fitness developmenL and social and personal outcomes. We had more than 300 children and young people participating in our basketball sessions, with different weekly and holiday sessions catering for different ages groups (from ages 6-19) with both mixed and girls-only coaching sessions offered. Rc)Iler sktttiii Our popular roller-skating programmes have seen us attract young people who rnay not be as motivated by competitive or traditional sports and has been a good avenue for us to engage inactive or less physically active young people. The prograrnmes have developed well. creating a positive social space which has seen the emergence of friendship groups, with these young people developing iheTr skating skills and techniques. One of the highlights of the roller-skating pro￿arnMe was delivery of four. week-long summer courses delivered at the Emirates stadium podium, and which saw more ihan 120 young people, the majority female, learn and improve their roller-skating skills, have fun, make new friends. and improve fitness.

THE ACCESS TO SPORTS PROJECT TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT {including Director's Report) (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Finaneldl Revlew During the 2024 financial year, the charity operated a full programme of activities. with donations and other grants of £776.291 (2023- £832,434) representing a decrease of £56.143 (6.70/0). versus an increase of £10.014 (1.2 /0) in 2023. During 2024, total net incorne was a deficit of £75,432 (2023: deficit of £45,466), with 300/0 of the 2024 Ios5 relating to depreciation of capital assets (tennis courts) totalling £22,491 (2023: £22,490). Another 33 % of the loss is related to tennis court repairs of £25,264 which were funded from revenue received in 2023. The remaining Ios5 of around 370/0 relates to lower levels of grdnt funding from ad hoc ￿ndIng sourc¢s. In contrast, in 2024, the main four funders continued to provide similar levels of ￿ndIng to 2023 levels, with London Borough of Islington providing total funding of £282,154 (2023.. £294,204), London Borough of Hackney providing total funding of £200,920 (2023: £204,860); London Borough of Haringey providing total funding of £30,916 {2023- £41,031), and Isledon CIC providing total fi]nding of £38,654 (2023: 33,757). The floodlit tennis courts continued to generate increasing levels of Court hire revenue, with total revenue of £98,892 (2023: £82,673). Whilst income from running tennis coaching courses also increased in 2024 to £31,519 (2023.. £22,474). So. whilst the charity is always at risk of losing a major funder, in 2024 the charity managed to maintain significant funding from these four main funders. This funding has enabled the charity to maintain its regular operating activities throughout the year. In 2024, increases in expenditure on charitable activities, mostly mirrored the increases in revenue streams and so there were no unusual or expected changes in the charity's expenditure during the year. Despite ongoing funding risks, the charity has maintained a flexible business model of low fixed Costs and flexible variable costs, as well as robust reserves, which have ensured that the charity can bounce back from challenging financial shocks, thereby ensuring it can continue lo operate as a going concern into the fiLttJre. Reserves Policy The purpose of the reserves policy is lo ensure that the charity is able to meet its ongoing contrdctual obligations and fmance future charitable activities of the organisation. The level of free reserves (excluding restricted funds) is reviewed annually by the Directors. In a period when the UK economy is struggling to grow, and local authority budgets ale being squeezed even further, especially due to inflation eroding spending power, the Directors consider that the most appropriate level of free reserves is between seven and ten months of budgeted future operating expenditure. to be able to withstand a prolonged drop in ￿nding. but also to help manage uneven cash flows, due lo most funding grants being paid in arrears, rather than up-front. As at 31 March 2024, budgeted expenditure for 2024125 was £800.000, giving a minimum targeted reserve of £466,667. The current level of free reserves at 31 March 2024 was £477,577 which represents just over seven months of budgeted operating expenditure, and which is considered to be a prudent level of reserves to withstand the ongoing uncertainty of funding income streams. Incorporated in free reserves of £477,577 is a facility development fund of £72,500. This fund has been separately designated to provide sufficient funds for ￿tUre development of the tennis court facilities at Finsbury Park. Principal Funding Sources In order to limit exposure to any one funder, the charity has endeavoured to expand its funding sources, however, similar to 2023. the majority of funding continued to come from a small number of large funders. In 2024, 770/0 of total revenue came from five fvnders (780/0 in 2023). This is a potentially risky situation as the loss of one major funder would result in a rnajor contraction of services and staff and greatly affect the local communities that we support.

THE ACCESS TO SPORTS PROJECT TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT (including Director's Report) (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Principal Fi£nding Sfflirces - continued At present and for the foreseeable fll￿re, most of the charity's funders (small and large) can only offer one-year funding grants- however despite thi5 con5traivJt, we are very grateful to the following funders who have provided significant funding to the charity during ihe year= Lawn Tennis Association, Greenwich Leisure Ltd. Isledon CIC, Jack Petchey Foundation, London Borough of Hackney, London Borough of Haringey. London Borough of Islington, London Mardthon Charitable Trust and Prism Charitable Trust. Pricing Policy Our pricing policy reflects our strategy of enabling as many people as possible in our local communities to participate in our varied programmes at either no cost or low ¢ost. Ln addition, our tennis court pricing policy for court bookings, which enables the public to book tennis courts. is set at the lower end of the price range, when compared with the price of booking a court at other local cornmunity operated tennis courts. Due to the very high increase in electricity costs, the floodlight surcharge fee was increased on 29 June 2022 from £2 per hour to £4 per hour. So. when combined with the court hire fee of £6 (for peak evening periods), this gave a total hourly price of £ l O for playing at night with floodlights. During the year ended 2024, our adiilt prices were: £6 per court for peak periods (and 2023); £ l O per Court for floodlit courts (previously £8 per court prior to 18 June 2022), £3 per court for off-peak periods, and free of charge on weekdays 7am -1 Oam. Whilst for children aged under 18 years, the two mini-courts were free of charge weekdays from 4pm - 6pm and during weekends from 9am - 4pm. For Finsbury Park tennis coaching courses. for children aged 6 - 19 years, the charity iuns free Tennis Camps every half terni and Easter and summer school holidays. Outside of these free holiday Tennis Camps, the charity also offers free weekend teenage tenni5 sessions, as well as weekly coaching course5 at the following rates.. For adults: £8 per one hour coached session-. For children aged 3 - 10 years.. £3.50 per one hour coached session. Plansfor Fulure Periods The charity is planning to continue to operate similar levels of charitable activities to 2025, with its two main funders (London Borough of Islington and LondoT] Borough of Hackney) both having agreed to provide fvnding in 2025. The charity continues to see high demand for sport and physical activity from both funders and the public. In addition, due to the charity's experience of running and managing the floodlit tennis courts at Finsbury Park, in 2025 the charity plans to expand its community iennis court coaching programmes at other tennis court facilities in Haringey. 12
