TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The charity registered with the Charity Commission and was granted charitable status on 19 May 2008.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 2019).

Objectives and activities

The charitable objects of the company are “The preservation and protection of health and the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation through sport and physical fitness by supporting the development of greater participation and quality in sport in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough”

The aim of Living Sport is “Improving health, happiness and wellbeing by supporting people to be active”.

Our Values are:

Living Sport entered into a new funding arrangement with Sport England in December 2021 which establishes base and core cost funding for a period of 5 years to March 2025. The overall awarded is for £2.5m and will be apportioned to support growth and transformation across each of the years. Funding will be drawn down annually and with the support of Sport England and the Active Partnership Network to ensure success and positive outcomes are achieved.

Given a change in leadership at Living Sport and prominent new board recruitments the strategy for 2021 was delayed until the summer of 2022. The impact of the pandemic and the need to evolve and work differently took priority. We have continued to align with the evolving work of Sport England ‘Uniting the Movement’ and the 10 year strategy they have produced. A new 2 year strategy will be launched in the Summer of 2022.

Living Sport proudly continues to be one of 43 Active Partnerships across England, part of the Active Partnerships network, supported by Sport England with substantial funds from the Sport Lottery. This funding is for a defined Primary Role: “A strong granular understanding of place and people; Ability to broker and facilitate a much wider range of relationships; Where necessary supporting projects and relationships on Sport England’s behalf”. Our focus continues to be needs based around the following themes; Children, Young People, Education, Place and Communities and Health and Wellbeing.

The Living Sport team reverted to hybrid working at the end of 2021 and this continues. We have reaped the benefits of hybrid working and will continue to support it and see this as a long-term positive recruitment proposition for new talent and growth. We have continued to invest in IT infrastructure and the physical move to the new offices at Ambury House presents more space, parking and for us to be based alongside a leading sports lead organization locally, Huntingdonshire Football Association.

The health and wellbeing of the staff team remains prominent as a priority. Our approach to hybrid working and building a culture that is transparent and open is crucial. The Senior Leadership Team has significant specialist experience in each of the strategic areas of our work and we are bolstering operational capacity to ensure we meet need and our growth ambitions.

LIVING SPORT CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH SPORTS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The impact on the lives of many post the pandemic and with the increased cost of living means that both individuals, families and community groups are having to make difficult choices about affordability. There are foodbanks in every district in which we work, and the cost of fuel and travel is impacting on the communities that we serve. We are mindful that areas of mental health and wellbeing are not being addressed and for those that in rural areas that the choices are even more restricted by location and transport.

We plan through our annual business planning cycle and delivery to continue to focus on our specialist areas alongside our strategic partners such as Hunts Forum who we recognize offer the capability to convene meaningful and powerful dialogues to impact true change.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

Whilst the impact of the Covid Pandemic created a backdrop of ongoing concern the second half of the 2021 -2022 financial year saw a considerable upturn in delivery for Living Sport.

We received the support of Sport England and the Active New Communities Steering Group, to repurpose the remaining 1.5 years of the Active New Communities project to work more broadly with communities across Cambridgeshire & Peterborough and aligning with the Think Communities team and local priorities. This new approach has allowed the project team greater flexibility and opportunity to pivot away from solely working with ‘new communities’ as per the original brief, however, there will continue to be some focus on new development sites. As a result of this Living Sport are working with the Think Communities team to discover and understand local priorities to inform targeted work, with a focus on working ‘with’ and ‘through’ communities. Also working alongside the relevant local authority and other necessary partners in the target places.

We worked in three targeted new communities (Northstowe, Alconbury Weald and East Hampton) and were able to take our place-based work in Peterborough to another level by recruiting a new Partnerships Coordinator. Peterborough is one of our priority areas, with significant challenges regarding inactivity and high levels of deprivation. Having a dedicated staff lead in Peterborough allows a more coordinated and strengthsbased approach in linking up a variety of our work programmes across communities, the health sector, and children & young people. This work is supporting us both internally to maximise our resources at a hyper-local level but also allowing us to coordinate our external relationships so we can collaborate more effectively to support growth and sustainability in the city. We will use this deep dive approach to gain a greater understanding of how we can build upon the assets in diverse communities and work with local community leaders to discover, connect and mobilise these assets to support the communities to thrive.

We continued to utilise Sport England’s Tackling Inequalities Fund which enabled work with new partners including smaller community organisations and groups in our target localities. We were able to focus on a more collaborative approach to funding and developing local activity, responding to the needs of people whose activity levels were worst affected by the pandemic. This has given significant insight and learning into inequalities in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and how we need to work to address them. In this period, we distributed £103,730 across 39 projects that have collectively worked with over 2,250 people.

Our delivery and oversight of the Healthy you programmed continued. The integrated lifestyle service contract we are commissioned to manage by Public Health had another successful year with a number of key outcomes and achievement of targets. Targets were met for physical activity and healthy eating programmes developed across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough (728) and just under 7,000 people participated in activities associated with this service. Data collected from participants showed that only 56% of participants were doing some meaningful physical activity before signing up to the service, whereas 81% were doing more than 30 minutes physical activity per week upon joining the service. The service has engaged with health professionals to embed referral pathways from health care into community activities, utilising social prescribing link workers to signpost directly into the activities and clinical service IT programmes to manage patient care pathways.

LIVING SPORT CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH SPORTS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

As part of our Thriving Communities work we delivered the Wonder Women project in Peterborough in partnership with PCVS, NHS and partners from the VCSE sector. This was established through funding from Thriving Communities (National Academy for Social Prescribing and the Arts Council) and our contribution to the programme was to develop and deliver activities in three localities of Central Peterborough. We consulted with community groups to identify priority need. To support community lead activity and ongoing ownership we trained up someone from within the community to deliver activities for peers and set up walks in the local open spaces. The legacy of this work has led to the instructor gaining more work and continuing to lead activities locally. Building on this success we have also adopted this approach to secure further funding through Public Health to develop a diverse workforce project.

The Ramblers Walking for Health scheme lost their grant support activity in 2020 and adopted a new model of operation to charge for scheme ownership, as well as a rebrand to Wellbeing Walks. We recognised the significant value of these health and wellbeing interventions and negotiated a package for the county to ensure that the schemes operating across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough could continue. In addition, we and secured equal funding contributions for the cost of this work from the 6 District and City Councils. The scheme now benefits from consistent volunteer support with first aid training, first aid kits and backpacks, free walk leader training and additional training support around mental health and wellbeing. We are very proud to share that there are now accessible volunteer led walks every day of the week in Cambridgeshire.

Throughout 2022 we have witnessed first-hand the struggles for children and young people. The deficit of investment and provision is challenging and over 11% of the children and Young People we work with are in low-income families, with 17% of them eligible for free school meals. Furthermore, we estimate that only 43% of them are meeting the CMO guidelines to achieve 60 minutes of exercise a day. As an organisation we have over 14 years of experience in the area, and we are seeing the need to support disadvantaged communities increasing. We have funding to focus in this area, but the need does out strip capacity to deliver. We have focused on interventions through activities such as our Dragons Den workshop which targets underserved groups of young people within secondary education or within community groups. 200 young people from 8 secondary schools have taken part in targeted education dragons den projects, which have enabled new after school clubs to be set up targeting inactive, non-sporty students; with the highlight being the glow sports club being delivered at Cambourne Village College with over 50 young people attending some weeks alone.

Through this we seek to empower young people to establish youth led sport and physical activity projects within their local communities. We are also prioritising opportunities to align with community safety around diversionary activities, youth engagement, and youth empowerment programmes.

During 2021 we established a Youth panel which effectively acts as a check and challenge for funding for CYP tackling inequalities projects. We have empowered the panel this in turn enabled us to encourage organisations to embed youth voice in all of our work and ensure that the right “offer” is delivered to children and young people.

Schools remain a significant priority for our delivery and during 2021 400 young people from school years 6,7,8 attended the inaugural annual Colour Run at Milton Country Park, which aimed to support those young people who had struggled with social isolation and anxiety as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and those struggling with transition from primary to secondary education. Through our work with Opening Schools Facilities, we worked with 8 targeted schools to help support the establishment of 46 new clubs which exceeded our expectations.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Financial review

The charity had a deficit for the year of £29,885, £29,509 was the use of unrestricted funds. This left unrestricted reserves at 31st March 2022 of £127,157 (2021 - £156,666).

Where restricted funds show a deficit balance this is due to projects running over a number of years where some expenditure has occurred in advance of funding being received.

Living Sport has a Reserves Policy which is reviewed annually by the Finance Sub-Committee and takes into account the financial risks faced by the charity.

The policy states that reserves should be held to cover two months’ running costs and costs associated with winding up if this were to become necessary. The current reserves target of Living Sport based on these calculations is £128,634 (2021 - £135,816).

With free reserves at 31 March 2022 was £127,157, Living Sport has reserves which are in line with those required by the policy.

Living Sport’s main funder is Sport England who give funding to Living Sport to carry out their role as an Active Partnership, as well as for a number of specific projects. System Partner funding from Sport England has been confirmed until March 2027, giving the charity a solid base on which to build the organisation over the next 5 years

Living Active Limited (11214648) established as a trading company in February 2018 has remained dormant throughout the year. Two further companies, Active Youth Limited (13502527) and Youth Active Limited (13502520) were registered in July 2021 and also remain dormant.

LIVING SPORT CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH SPORTS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Board is supported by a series of Sub-Committees which are:

As a result of the Covid Pandemic all Board and Sub-Committee meetings moved to being held online, and in addition to formal appointments to the Sub-Committees all Directors have received all papers for all meetings and invited to attend all meetings. New Directors have used this opportunity to observe a number of the SubCommittees as an extension of the formal Induction which they attended. Also the Finance Sub-Committee continued to meet monthly through the year to ensure that the Trustees were fully informed of the financial position of the charity.

As we come out of the Covid pandemic, the charity is pursuing a broad range of activities as it seeks financial sustainability – grants and commissions, charitable fundraising, development of our own income generating activity and activities and engagement with commercial partners. The impact of the Covid Pandemic will be that diversification to achieve a broader balance of funding, away from the reliance on the very welcome Sport England funding, will take longer to achieve.

The charity underwent a change in Senior Leadership during the year, but has a revised structure in place to ensure continuity of delivery and also ambitious plans to meet need. The team are longstanding members of staff and experts in their areas and are supported by an interim CEO with over 25 years’ experience in the not for profit sector.

Living Sport has been assessed as being compliant with the UK Code of Sport Governance and is reviewing changes to the Code following a review by UK Sport and Sport England to ensure this continues.

The Audit & Assurance Committee have taken responsibility for the implementation of a Board Development Plan developed following an independent Board Performance Review.

The trustees regularly assess 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 trustees regularly assess the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF LIVING SPORT CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH SPORTS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Living Sport Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Sports Partnership Limited (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the 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 Financial Reporting Standard 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 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

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 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 contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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.

LIVING SPORT CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH SPORTS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

TO THE TRUSTEES OF LIVING SPORT CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH SPORTS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

LIVING SPORT CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH SPORTS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

TO THE TRUSTEES OF LIVING SPORT CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH SPORTS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council’s website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included:

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 noncompliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Living Sport Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Sports Partnership Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Armstrong House, Sovereign Court, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, PE29 6XU, United Kingdom.

1.1 Accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing documents, 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 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

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

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements, including the continued impact of COVID-19. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

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.

Any grant receivable is shown as an incoming resource once the charity has met any conditions relating to its receipt and when it has reasonable assurance that the grant will be received. The grant is shown within the appropriate fund, in accordance with any restrictions placed in its use by the donor. Incoming resources are only deferred if the donor has restricted their use until a future accounting period.

1.5 Expenditure

Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis.

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:

Plant and machinery 25% p.a. straight line

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 net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible 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 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.

1.9 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.

1.10 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.

1.11 Retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contributions pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the accounts as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

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.

No one individual has overall control of the charity.

Each Trustee and members of staff complete a Declaration of Interest and these are noted at every meeting of the Board and its Sub-Committees.

The Trustees are appointed as individuals but do have involvement with organisations which Living Sport works with on a regular basis. During the past year Living Sport has received resource support from some organisations and has also supported activities with:

Nene Park Trust – M Bradbury

Cambridge Sport Lakes Trust / Milton Country Park – M Woolhouse

In no instance has any Trustee or member of Management Team been involved in the individual decisions on the allocation of any resources in support of this work.

Sport England as the major funder has rights to attend Living Sport Board meetings.
