Introduction to the 2024/25 Accounts

Martin Townsend, Living Sport Chair

These accounts capture more than just finances - it captures intent. The intent is to build healthier communities by design, not by chance. To respond to complexity with clarity. And to work at the intersections between prevention and system change - local insight and national ambition.

Living Sport has made extraordinary strides this year. Over 30,000 people engaged with our Tier 1 Healthy Lifestyle service. 820 individuals were directly supported through behaviour change conversations that helped unlock healthier choices. And the potential £1.75 million in NHS cost avoidance savings demonstrates that this work isn’t just beneficial, it is essential. This isn’t about scale for its own sake. It’s about creating the right conditions for people and places to thrive. Whether that’s embedding physical activity in clinical pathways, reimagining school facilities as community assets, or training the next generation of peer leaders - it is system thinking in action.

As the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care recently said, “A healthier nation is not just a moral imperative, but an economic one.” That sentiment aligns perfectly with our approach at Living Sport. We believe that health is not a side conversation, but a shared responsibility.

As trustees, we are proud to back a team that leads with integrity, partners with purpose, and delivers with measurable impact. We hope this report inspires you to engage with us - because progress is never a solo act.

A message from Samantha Hyde CEO Capturing momentum while looking ahead

At Living Sport, we believe that bold action, when rooted in insight and relationships, can create real change. This year, we have seen the results of that belief securing over £3.2 million in funding across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, with nearly twothirds of that representing new investment drawn into the area. From health to education to community settings, we have delivered purposeful programmes that have helped thousands lead healthier, more connected lives.

We have stepped up in ways that matter. Our leadership has strengthened and protected programmes like Forever Active , which can support up to 675 older adults every week. This year alone, we supported hundreds of new participants in building strength, mobility, and confidence - helping them to maintain independence and reduce isolation. We have been building on extending our reach into education and community sports. From 2023 to 2025 through the Opening School Facilities (OSF) programme, we secured a new funding allocation from the Department for Education, bringing an additional £812,000 into Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. This investment supported schools in opening their doors to local families - to increase physical activity opportunities and make play and sport more accessible where it is needed most.

While we celebrate what has worked, we also understand the remaining barriers. Too many opportunities for prevention are still delayed or fragmented. And yet, we are optimistic because we see momentum building. The NHS Model ICB Blueprint reinforces the direction of

travel towards integrated, place-based, preventative care. This direction aligns deeply with our approach, and we are already working with system leaders to help turn that ambition into reality.

We are also guided by national voices in Public Health. Dame Jenny Harries said, “Prevention is better than cure, and the future of the NHS relies on a decisive shift towards preventing ill health in the first place.” This call to action resonates powerfully with our work. Living Sport is ready to step up and step in - not only as a trusted delivery partner but as a convenor of people, ideas, and opportunity. We are creating a safe and neutral space for innovation where bold thinking is tested, diverse voices are welcomed, and collaboration thrives. Real change demands humility, courage, and connection, and we are proud to offer the conditions that enable all three.

None of this would be possible without our people. We are powered by a team of 30 exceptional individuals who work with energy, care, and professionalism every day. We believe in the power of people - our team, partners, and the local residents who bring a deep-rooted commitment to the communities we serve. In challenging times, we have deliberately chosen to invest in them. They are not just part of the solution - they are the solution. Their insights, lived experiences, and quiet resilience drive everything we do. When systems are stretched, it is people and the trust they build - that carry change forward.

At Living Sport, we are privileged to be led by a team board . A collective of committed, values-driven individuals who bring expertise, challenge, and generosity in equal measure. Their trust, clarity and support allow us to lead boldly, act quickly, and stay focused on what matters most: delivering with purpose for the communities we serve.

As Margaret Mead famously said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Her words resonate deeply with us because they are the beating heart of our work: small, committed teams doing big things in places that matter.

Living Sport offers more than programmes. We offer a way of working that bridges gaps, brings people together, and helps systems shift. We act where the need is greatest, and we deliver with integrity and impact.

This report captures a year of momentum - but it also looks ahead. There is more to do, and we are ready to go further. As the proverb reminds us, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” We invite you to join us in creating a healthier, more active future - together.

We feel that complexity should never be a barrier to action. There are solutions out there, which are often simpler than we allow ourselves to believe.

Fundraising

We would not be able to do our important work without the support of our funders. We seek to maintain the highest possible standards in fundraising and relationships with our supporters. We recognised that our significant source of income was from Sport England but means organisational risk as we are reliant on one income source. We have put in measures to address this by investing in fundraising systems and capabilities.

We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and bound by its Code of Fundraising Practice.

We continue to monitor compliance as this code is revised to ensure all our fundraising activities are operating to the highest standards. We received no complaints via the Fundraising Regulator or Charity Commission during this period. We ensure we are compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for all contact with stakeholders, community groups and funders.

We have a process where Trustees and the Senior Leadership Team regularly review all aspects of our fundraising, including plans, performance, and compliance. We will build on this and produce annual plans and reviews and monitor performance against targets monthly and performance indicators quarterly.

Delivering Our Strategy

Our current strategy is built on knowledge, data and insight of our geography. All of our work is born through this and also our mandate to work around place, for example Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. Over the coming year we will be producing our strategy for the coming years.

We believe that only by focusing on the needs of the population and involving them can we help create communities that embrace their own health and wellbeing.

Whilst our overarching theme is place, the three pillars of our strategy – health, communities and children & young people – provide a focus for our work as we target and prioritise geography and need based on tackling inequalities. Our work includes and aligns to the delivery of Sport England’s Uniting the Movement strategy locally.

Collaboration, Innovation and Solution Focussed

Partnership working continues to be at the heart of everything we do. We strive to work collaboratively with partners in the public, private, community and voluntary sectors to create the conditions for the people of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to be active and lead happy and healthy lives.

The cost-of-living crisis remains critical especially as we, like many other individuals and organisations, are still recovering from the pandemic of the last few years. Both are having far reaching implications across our county’s sport and physical activity sector and much wider of course. The current climate has affected how we have been able to work with our partner organisations but together we have continued to make a significant difference.

We see some of the solutions of how we work as being based firmly in the health arena focused on the areas of primary care, prevention, social care and supporting the workforce. Our view and evidence base informs that we can support the ICS through delivering a new social contract for patients and the community to enable them to be more active in their decisions about leading a healthy, active but affordable and informed lifestyle.

We have, we hope, started to change the conversation and dial up our response and the expectation of what we can achieve together with the emerging ICS and other key stakeholders.

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.

NDPP+ project

Question: Does the inclusion of physical activity provide better outcomes than the traditional NDPP?

Answer: Yes.

Working with Reed Wellbeing, local providers of the National Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP), we co-designed and piloted a physical activity component (NDPP+) alongside the traditional pr ~~ogramme, focusing on the education of healthy~~ eating and physical activity.

This study involved an intervention group and a control group, based in two locations in Cambridge City, with a high prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes. The standard programme lasted 10 months: the intervention group followed the enhanced NDPP, which included physical activity sessions, while the control group followed the traditional NDPP without these sessions.

A qualified instructor, trained in seated exercise and physical activity, delivered the intervention. It consisted of monthly face-to-face progressive physical activity sessions, i.e. circuit training, cardio, strength training, endurance exercises, and balance exercises - all tailored to meet participant needs and specifically designed to incorporate with home routines.

Both groups had reduced HbA1c levels by the programme end, with the intervention group showing more pronounced improvement ( 82% had reduced levels) compared to the control group ( 75% ). Of those who achieved lower levels, 89% of the intervention group and 83% in the control group reduced to below the pre-diabetic threshold. Thus, indicating they were no longer at increased risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Despite being a small pilot programme, we observed positive outcomes, and evidence suggests that including physical activity benefits traditional NDPP delivery. A second pilot without the constraints of monthly face-to-face sessions could further enhance results. Initial pilot learning and feedback can guide and inform future pilots to encourage including physical activity across more programmes countywide and influence similar initiatives regionally and nationally.

Additionally, we introduced gamification, participants tracked their weekly step counts, time spent on physical activity, and any new physical activities they tried.

Among those who completed the programme and provided both pre- and post-programme data, 54% of the intervention group achieved at least 5% weight reduction, compared to the control group ( 38% ). This result significantly exceeded the target 30% for Tier 2 Weight Management programmes.

The programme aims to support communities and children and young people by helping schools open their existing sports facilities. This year, our final year of the programme, focused on extending and developing projects with the schools that opted to continue the programme.

Over the three-year OSF programme, Living Sport has distributed funding to support

22 schools across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to open their sports facilities to a range of young people and the community. We identified schools using local insight, including Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) and free school meals data, to target specific areas across the county.

individuals taking part were from 46% ethnically diverse backgrounds children and young people taking part 34% received free school meals

63% children and young people taking partwere girls children and young people taking part had Special Education Needs and Disabilities 21% (SEND)

We distributed £330k to 20 schools during Year 3, bringing a total of £812k across the three-year programme. This year, schools delivered 579 sessions through 54 funded projects to 3,579 children and young people and 1,239 community participants.

We gained valuable insight into young people's and surrounding communities' needs by listening to what physical activity and sport people wanted. Our work has identified a need for continued funding to support local schools in opening their facilities to the wider community. Opening facilities more often enhances physical activity offers, particularly for those young people without access to physical activity outside of school hours. We have also focused on developing opportunities with swimming and other activities that families can do together.

Learn-2-Live Well

The fund aimed to support a whole-school approach to promoting, educating and improving healthy eating and physical activity. We invited Cambridgeshire primary schools to develop a project that would help pupils and the wider school community to adopt healthier lifestyles and improve childhood obesity through targeted interventions based at the school.

The project aimed to support schools to foster improved habits and increase movement, led by ~~student voice and steered by sustainable choices~~ . Using local insight, Living Sport was guided by the values of proportionate universalism to award funding and support Cambridgeshire school communities that need it most.

Over 20,000 children reached across participating schools.

62% of successful applicants fall within priority areas, with high numbers of free school meals and unhealthy weight being a guiding marker. 22 primary schools requested our Dragon’s Den style and Active Mile programmes, allowing us to directly deliver workshops and events to 1,402 pupils.

Awarded to 95 Cambridgeshire primary schools to help increase physical activity and improve healthy eating habits

Initial trends indicate a high interest in playground activities, equipment and holistic practices to encourage active purposeful play.

Active travel incentives are the third highest category of need, with funding supporting equipment, workshops and inspiration events.

Final insights will be collected in August 2025

Dragon’s Den Style

We have delivered our ‘Dragon’s Den Style’ programme in primary schools, secondary schools, and community settings since 2019. The model is centred around youth voice and provides a platform for students to create, pitch and implement their own physical activity extra-curricular club.

During 2024/25, we successfully delivered 10 secondary Dragon's Den style projects. Projects took place in Cambridgeshire (6) and Peterborough (4). Of the 10 projects, 9 were from our priority areas.

We organised workshops for a total of 231 students who do not regularly engage in physical activity outside curriculum-based physical education. These workshops helped develop skills in project planning, budgeting, contingency planning, marketing strategies, and presentation techniques.

The primary goal is to empower students to pitch their ideas for physical activity or sports clubs to their schools. During the 2024/25 year, 58 ideas were pitched to panels and we awarded £10,000 in grants to start various clubs. Activity highlights included pickleball, zorb football, and darts. Throughout this project, we sought new ways to engage a wider range of students, so sports leaders were encouraged to support staff with delivery, ordering equipment, and advertising.

Project Outcomes:

61% reported improved project planning skills 48% felt happier

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

We adopt a strategic, place-based approach across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, identifying and prioritising where physical activity can have the most profound impact. By concentrating resources on areas with the greatest need, we strive to break down barriers to participation, promoting healthier and more active lives for everyone.

From the outset of this phase, we concentrated on building relationships across both districts. 61 local partners participated in our two-day leadership courses to enhance leadership capacity and promote systemic change to address inequality in physical activity. One key outcome of this was forming the strategic steering groups.

Steering group representatives include local authorities, Public Health, and Integrated Neighbourhoods Teams and have been instrumental in identifying strategic priorities and aligning efforts around shared goals.

In Peterborough , we have made significant progress in forming strong partnerships with organisations to better understand community needs. With the support of these partners, we have mapped key wards and identified existing resources available for community access.

In Fenland , our focus has been on community consultation. For example, our engagement with Manea village involved mapping local transport options, facilities, and community sentiments to identify barriers to physical activity. The March Imaginarium event provided invaluable insights into residents' activity preferences and challenges in staying active.

Active Waterbeach

To address loneliness and poor mental and physical health among older adults and individuals with disabilities/long-term health conditions, we co-designed a project to enhance community cohesion and create positive opportunities for social connections, movement, and volunteering in Waterbeach.

Consultations with Waterbeach Lodge Care Home and the Waterbeach community established that ~~this cohort of older adults wanted a variety of physical activity choices with an added social element.~~ Our participant-led delivery involved Boccia, PolyBat, New Age kurling, and more.

As sessions progressed, we collaborated with British Judo to provide taster sessions for “Finding Your Feet” classes, which continued after Living Sport’s involvement. Of the 46 participants, 83% were over 65 and 63% had a long-term health condition.

Waterbeach Lodge and Tillage Hall community sessions provided tasters and weekly activities across 6 and 12 weeks. As a result, well-being improved through reducing loneliness and building social connections. 64% felt more connected to their community, and 50% felt happier having taken part.

“You’ve brought a community together!”

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

Financial Review

The headline for the year ended 31 March 2025 was another year of working with funders and partners to provide our services to those who need it. Income increased significantly compared to the previous year but the majority of this funding went on grants to schools, meaning expenditure also increased significantly. As a result of additional funding being carried forward in restricted funds received near the year end, a surplus of £21,519 was made during the year (2024: £2,447).

Income

Overall income increased to £2,368,302 (2024: £1,082,676) for the year. This is mainly as a result of the Learn-2-Live well fund received in the year. This grant included a significant amount of funding which was granted to schools.

Grants remain the largest proportion of income received by the charity with £2,066,776 (2024: £939,787) being received in the year. Sport England funding increased on the previous year, with £870,069 (2024: £656,283) being received. However Cambridgeshire County Council was the largest funder during the year as a result of the Learn-2-Live Well fund, totalling £1,090,515 (2024: £192,334). Trustees and management continue to work on the diversification of income to reduce reliance on a single funder. This work is shown in the accounts with income from Sport England falling from 60% of income to 42%.

Donations and gifts decreased to £29,859 (2024: £38,490) mainly due to a donation of services to the charity received in kind.

Investment income also increased significantly to £25,032 (2024: £12,305) due to higher interest rates being received on banked cash.

We are very grateful to all our funders, donors and grant givers who provide us income to enable us to do our work.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

Expenditure

Total expenditure on charitable activities, mainly comprising programme delivery, advocacy and awareness costs, was £2,346,783 (2024 - £1,080,229).

The majority of costs incurred by the charity relate to employment costs. As a result of increased staff numbers and increases in pay due to the cost of living, total employment costs increased from £738,084 to £1,028,622 during the year.

Grants paid out by the charity increased significantly in the year to £838,648 (2024: £33,969). This is mainly due to the Learn-2-Live Well fund being delivered in the year. This involved schools receiving funding to help increase activity levels and wellbeing of students. Each school agreed to the terms of the grant in an SLA which was checked by our team. Adherance to this SLA was monitored through the period. This included school visits and progress reports.

Net Movements

Overall the net movement of funds during the year was a surplus of £21,519 (2024 - £2,447). This was split between an unrestricted funds deficit of £32,405 (2024 - £69,128 surplus) and restricted funds surplus of £53,924 (2024 - £66,681 deficit).

Reserves

Total funds held by the Charity at the year-end were £436,956 (2024 - £415,437) of which £247,746 (2024 - £193,822) were restricted and not available for the general purposes of the Charity.

The reserves policy has been amended to cover between three months’ budgeted running costs at £385,096 and six months coverage should 40% of funding was to be withdrawn at £205,927. Unrestricted free reserves of £168,292 is below the reserves target range above. Trustees and management will continue to review the reserves held by the charity and the policy itself to ensure they are appropriate and will work to increase unrestricted reserves to fall back within the target range.

Subsidiary Companies

Living Sport has Living Active Limited (11214648), a subsidiary registered, but this remains dormant.

Investment Policy and Objectives

Living Sport has adopted an ethical investment policy. This means that we seek to avoid investments that conflict with our aims or create reputational risk. Our investment policy emphasises the use of positive ethical criteria:

We actively seek to invest in companies that are able to demonstrate:
Responsible employment practices;
~~Good corporate governance practice;~~
~~:~~ Conscientiousness with regard to human rights; Sustainable environmental practice; and
Sensitivity towards the communities in which we work.

Reserves

We plan to focus on identifying the gaps across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough – using health and broader data and local insight – to target our work to address inequalities and support the reducing of gaps seen across our county in terms of living longer in good health. We will do this through three domains:

Better communities: We are committed to continuing to use community and youth voice to guide our work – there is nothing better than those who will be affected being a part of the decisions being made for them to build confidence in the solution and encourage sustainability beyond our involvement. Better connected systems: We are confident we can build on the engagement we have had this year with partner organisations, supporting them to enhance or include physical activity as part of their solution for achieving wider outcomes – bringing partners together across different sectors is fundamental to achieve these.

Better organisations: We will use learning to continue to grow and improve as an organisation, both through the programmes we offer and through the training, investment and trust we place in our members of staff and Board of Trustees.

Structure, Governance and Management (Continued)

We recognise that a healthy Board has the mix of skills, knowledge, and experience necessary for the efficient and effective governance of Living Sport. A healthy Board will also make sure that the recruitment and appointment of Trustees provides adequate opportunities for reassessing and achieving that mix. Living Sport is fully committed to equality of opportunity and diversity in its governance. We recruit Trustees to ensure the Board has the knowledge and skills required to achieve our mission and uphold our values. All new Trustees go through a full and open recruitment and interview process. Appointment is by Board resolution and all Trustees receive an induction on appointment and relevant briefing and training courses are made available.

The Board follows good practice by planning for succession and periodically reviews whether it has the appropriate skills and capacities going forward. The Board also evaluates its performance regularly and the Chairman holds annual appraisals with all board members.

In line with our Articles of Association, the Board delegates certain functions to sub-committees, under terms of reference it has approved. These sub-committees report to the Board at each Board meeting. There are three sub-committees of the Board and an advisory group:

The Finance Committee deals primarily with financial, audit and administrative matters - The Chairman leads this committee, and it includes three other Trustees with governance, business, and risk experience.

The Audit and Assurance committee has oversight of risk management, safeguarding and compliance, including ensuring we meet the requirements of the UK Code for Sports Governance. - The committee has a membership of three trustees, including the Board champions for safeguarding and EDI.

The Remuneration and Nominations Committee has oversight of staff remuneration and other staffing matters arising, including an annual review of the CEO salary and CEO appraisal. The committee also leads on the recruitment of new trustees.

Structure, Governance and Management (Continued)

In addition, we have the following processes and plans or action plans in place:

Safeguarding: our staff are trained in safeguarding policy and procedures. Adherence to policy is mandatory in partner grant agreements and with consultants. Our Board of Trustees regularly reviews our policy and approach and implements additional measures where appropriate. We have business continuity plans in place.
Data protection and cyber-security: we have detailed IT security and recovery plans in place for each of our systems, managed by outsourced IT suppliers. The Board reviews system security measures periodically as part of board reporting
Management of organisational growth: we manage growth through grants by partnering with reliable, mature downstream partners, monitoring staff structures and workloads closely, and ensuring that we have adequate reserves to counter any material delays in cashflows.
We monitor funding from individual funders as a proportion of total funding, with the aim of limiting exposure to one single donor.
Risk of fraud: we have clear finance procedures in place with segregation of duties. Internal and external audits are carried out regularly. We have also established and implemented enhanced partner due diligence processes.

We reviewed our performance against the Charity Governance Code, so Trustees could assess how well Living Sport is applying the Code and where further work is needed. As part of this the Board reviews its own performance and that of individual Trustees, including the Chair and plans to carry out an external evaluation. The Board also takes part in training and reflection about diversity and will set diversity objectives against which performance can be measured and attend training led by a specialist member of the staff team.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees, who are also the directors of Living Sport Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Sports Partnership Limited for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.

In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity 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 charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees’ report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

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 2025 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).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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:

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.

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

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.

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:

the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or

sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

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.

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

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.~~

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.

This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with section 391 of the Companies Act 2014. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’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 company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Living Sport Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Sports Partnership Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Suite 3, James Hall, Parsons Green, St Ives, Cambridgeshire, PE27 4AA, 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. 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

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.

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 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 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 Accounting policies (Continued)

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.
