The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the SORP, relevant law and FRS 102. ## **Objectives and activities** The charity's objects are provision and maintenance of public swimming pool for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Axe Valley and its neighbourhood who are in need thereof by reason of their social circumstances or youth, sickness or old age. There have been no changes in these objectives during the year. ## _Public benefit_ The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. The charity meets Charity Commission charitable purposes descriptions in the following two categories: - advancement of health or the saving of lives: - advancement of amateur sport. ## _Social investments_ Under the memorandum and articles of association, the charity has the power to make any investments which the trustees see fit. All investments are kept under continuous review so as to maintain the appropriate balance between security and return. ## **Achievements and performance** ## _Significant activities and achievements against objectives_ Financially, we have had a very demanding year. The pool infrastructure is now 26 years old and sadly, some components have reached the end of life stage. During the year the pool has benefitted from new glass beads in the filters (much more efficient than sand and longer lasting), the installation of a pool sentry system (controls pumps, chemicals et al) to ensure that we are not using excess energy and maintain water quality. All replacement struts under and around the pool downstairs has been completed. Solar panels are now on all roof surfaces, thereby reducing our electricity bill and carbon footprint as much as we are able at this stage. The staffing situation is now reasonably stable. We have continued with two or three training courses per year. Our staffing team continue to excel in their obligatory training sessions. This was borne out by an incident in the main pool towards the end of the year, when the team used CPR and the defibrillator to save a man’s life after a medical episode. Reports from other pool users confirm that the staff acted in a calm and professional manner. These incidents do not usually occur very often but it is wonderful to know that our staff are well trained and able to respond in the very best way. We have an experienced senior management team. All of them have been at Flamingo for 10 years or more. Due to health and some other reasons, some persons involved in the newly set up Jubilee Committee were unable to continue, leaving only a few members. Therefore, during the year it was deemed sensible to join the with regular fundraisers and continue events in this way. Some events were very successful, especially our sponsored swim around Britain, the auction we had in May and of course the coffee mornings. Our thanks go to everyone who supports us in whatever way. Without this support we would not survive. Thanks go to all our staff and clients who love and support our community pool. Please keep going in your endeavours. The Trustees and management are working very hard to source grants and any other money available to us. We were successful in receiving some grant money during the year but sadly approaches to East Devon Council for funding have not been so. We will continue with our efforts, especially as East Devon and the Devon County Council will join together. Having joined the trustees, Mrs June Turner stepped in as Chairman in May, and Gareth Parker has continued as Vice Chairman. We have a further new trustee member in Bernard Thorogood. Bernard’s speciality is health and safety, so a very valuable addition to our team. - 1 - ## **AXE VALLEY SWIMMING ASSOCIATION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ ## **Financial review** Income for the year was £506,510. Expenditure for the year was £607,224 giving a net deficit of £100,714. ## _Reserves policy_ It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to sixty day's income. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will meet ongoing expenditure in case of income loss due to uninsurable disaster. Additional reserves are maintained in order to cover unforseen repairs. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. ## _Major risks_ The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The charity's website address is: www.flamingopool.co.uk ## **Structure, governance and management** The charity is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 12 June 2006 and registered as charity on 4 March 2008. The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were: Mr R B Peacock (Resigned 30 November 2023) Mrs D Church Mrs J K Broom Mrs S Parris Mrs K Armstrong (Resigned 1 May 2023) Mr J L Marjoribanks (Resigned 15 May 2023) Mrs E Bewsher Mrs S Stokes-Munton Mrs R Jordan Mr G Parker Mr J Ebdon (Appointed 1 November 2023) Mrs J E Turner (Appointed 1 May 2023) Mr B Thorogood (Appointed 30 November 2023) ## _Recruitment and appointment of trustees_ Potential trustees are generally recruited from the pool users and other people who express an interest in becoming involved with the charity. When selecting new trustees, the diversity of the board is borne in mind so that the needs of the charity and its users can be fairly represented. None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. ## _Organisational structure_ The charity is administered by a board of trustees who are all directors of the company. This group meets every 4 to 5 weeks. The meetings are minuted and the minutes are available for inspection as a true record of the decisions reached. In addition to the trustees, the meetings are attended by the pool manager Mr S Buxton. If a decision is required at short notice and is outside the remit of the pool manager, the authority of at least two directors is sought and their decisions later ratified at the subsequent meeting of the board. ## _Other matters_ - 2 - ## **AXE VALLEY SWIMMING ASSOCIATION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees. Mrs J K Broom **Trustee** 25 February 2025 - 3 - ## **AXE VALLEY SWIMMING ASSOCIATION** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** ## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF AXE VALLEY SWIMMING ASSOCIATION** I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Axe Valley Swimming Association (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2024, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes. The report is made solely to the charity's trustees as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the views I have formed. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: - 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the Companies Act 2006. - 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or - 3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or - 4 the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached. ## **J R Banks FCA** Hammett Audit 21 Heavitree Road Exeter Devon EX1 2LD Dated: 25 February 2025 - 4 - ## **AXE VALLEY SWIMMING ASSOCIATION** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDING INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ |**Unrestricted**

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of financial statements. The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year in question in accordance with section 476. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The financial statements were approved by the trustees on 25 February 2025 Mrs J E Turner **Trustee** Company registration number 05843714 (England and Wales) - 6 - ## **AXE VALLEY SWIMMING ASSOCIATION** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **Charity information** Axe Valley Swimming Association is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Flamingo Pool, Lyme Road, Axminster, Devon, EX13 5AZ. ## **1.1 Accounting convention** The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. ## **1.2 Going concern** At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. ## **1.3 Charitable funds** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. ## **Restricted funds** These are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. ## **1.4 Income** Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. - 7 - ## **AXE VALLEY SWIMMING ASSOCIATION** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** **(Continued)** ## **1.5 Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Expenditure is recognised on accruals basis when a liability is incurred. Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. They include accountancy and legal costs and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. ## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: Hydro pool cover straight line over 3 years Pool project expenditure straight line over 50 years Pool equipment 20% reducing balance Office equipment 20% reducing balance The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. ## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). ## **1.8 Stocks** Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. - 8 - ## **AXE VALLEY SWIMMING ASSOCIATION** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **(Continued)** ## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. ## **1.10 Financial instruments** The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. ## _**Basic financial assets**_ Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. ## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. ## **1.11 Employee benefits** The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. - 9 - ## **AXE VALLEY SWIMMING ASSOCIATION** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ ## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. ## **3 Income from donations and legacies** ||**Unrestricted**|**Unrestricted**| |---|---|---| ||**funds**|**funds**| ||**2024**|**2023**| ||**£**|**£**| |Donations and gifts|56,562|287,606| ## **4 Provision of public swimming pool** ||**Provision and**||Provision and| |---|---|---|---| ||**maintenance of**|
