STOCKPORT COUNTY COMMUNITY SPORTS AND EDUCATION FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 JUNE 2021
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 29 June 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply 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)
Objectives and activities
The foundation's aim is to promote the community participation in healthy recreation by providing coaching facilities and kit to the inhabitants of Stockport, High Peak, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and the surrounding area to enable the playing of Association Football and other sports capable of improving health. The policies adopted in furtherance of these objects are to assist in providing facilities for sport and recreation to such persons who have need for these facilities, by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances, to advance the education of children and young people through such means as the trustees see fit in accordance with the charity law.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the foundation should undertake.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 JUNE 2021
Achievements and performance
The past year has been a great challenge for the Community Foundation as the Covid pandemic has disrupted all our lives and the impact on the charity has, like most small and medium sized charities, been significant. At times our community engagement, schools’ work and other projects have been severely restricted by the lockdowns and the other important government regulations designed to protect the vulnerable beneficiaries and people we serve. Due to this some activities were cancelled or suspended, and some contracts previously secured not honoured whilst at the same time the additional costs of fully supporting the absent staff (preserving their livelihoods and helping their families to survive the world crisis) above and beyond what would be expected of many self funding charities and organisations caused additional pressures.
The year also brought other substantial challenges in particular with the change of ownership of one of the charity’s partners. Consequently, the Foundation has been forced to engage appropriate professional assistance and advice to protect the charity and its beneficiaries across the community. However, the charity has responded well to these adverse challenges and as a result of the unprecedented costs has undertaken a thorough management and business restructuring to protect the short, medium and long term future of the foundation. The outlook is very positive.
The dedicated Board and core team are passionate about the current and longer term plans for the future. Their unstinting commitment, consistent and outstanding support of the charity and it’s objectives have helped a diverse range of beneficiaries across the community during this global pandemic. The vital difference the Community Foundation has made to people’s lives cannot be measured solely in financial terms but has resulted in many achievements at an unprecedented time.
As the Foundation develops further and continues to widen it’s reach, it has strengthened its position as the leading charity in our field in the borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester and beyond. The ongoing further development of the Community Foundation is enabling the vital even wider engagement which is so often the lifeline for many beneficiaries across our communities as we emerge from the pandemic. The charity’s Active Communities Strategy is playing a key role in assisting the recovery of the most vulnerable younger and older groups from the consequences of the pandemic, prioritising both physical and mental health for all ages, all abilities and addressing needs resulting from inequality in one of the four most polarised metropolitan boroughs in the country.

STOCKPORT COUNTY COMMUNITY SPORTS AND EDUCATION FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 JUNE 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Stockport County Community Sports and Education Foundation is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Stockport County Football Club, Edgeley Park, Hardcastle Road, Stockport, Cheshire, SK3 9DD.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the foundation's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The foundation is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The foundation has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the foundation . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. 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 foundation 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 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.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the foundation.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the foundation 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 foundation 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 foundation 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.

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.
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:
Computers
Enter depreciation rate via StatDB - cd198
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 foundation 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 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 foundation 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 foundation 's balance sheet when the foundation 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.

(Continued)
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 p aymen ts 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 foundation ’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 foundation is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the foundation’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.
