## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 30 November 2024** 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **Charitable activities** 

Wigan Warriors Community Foundation continues to receive excellent support from Wigan Rugby League Club, its partners and the commitment and expertise of its personnel, as well as use of the first-class facilities at Robin Park Arena. 

During the year to November 2024 the Foundation have worked hard to continue to navigate through a time of transition following the loss of centralised funding from the RFL. 

During the year the Foundation has continued to increase its activities in the community by: 

- Expanding the provision sports coaching and health & wellbeing activities in primary schools across the Wigan borough engaging with more than 30 such schools in the financial year. 

- Delivering engagement programmes to reduce anti-social behaviour in the local community 

- Delivering inclusion programmes to enable non typical participants to participate in sport. 

- Providing care and physical activity during the school holidays to disadvantaged children in the Wigan Borough, partnering with Wigan Council through the Holiday Activity Fund. 

- Delivering educational programmes that raise awareness of sustainability issues and how families positively influence change within their households. 

- Expanding partnerships with councils beyond Wigan to provide rugby league activities in these areas, including Bolton, Cumbria, Blackpool and West Lancashire. 

The aim for the future is for the Foundation to improve this financial performance by continuing to expand delivery in existing areas, and by securing additional unrestricted funding from sponsors to allow the Foundation's reserves to further evolve. The Foundation will continue with both its stated aims of delivering Sport, Health and Wellbeing to the local community and working in partnership with Wigan Warriors to significantly extent its reach in the local community. 

## **Financial review** 

## **Financial position** 

The Foundation has increased revenue to £648,153 (2023: 446,737). A significant part of this increase has come from unrestricted donations. Costs have increased to 625,643 (2023: £454,218) reflecting the extra cost of providing additional activities in the community. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity recorded an operating surplus of £22,510 (2023: deficit of £7,481), and the reserves of the Community Foundation were £34,279 at 30 November 2024. The Trustees continue to seek new sources of unrestricted income to increase the reserves to an appropriate level. This is to help provide sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs. As the financial budget and funding strategy are developed, the Trustees will set a longer-term target for reserves. 

In the Trustees' opinion, in order to facilitate the smooth running of the charity's operations, an appropriate level of reserves sufficient to maintain working capital 3-6 months of operating costs is required. The Trustees will continue to try to achieve this level in the next few years, by generating surpluses from operations, wherever possible.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WIGAN WARRIORS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wigan Warriors Community Foundation ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 November 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **WIGAN WARRIORS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 30 November 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis due to the continued financial and management support of the related company, Wigan Rugby League Club Limited ('Wigan Warriors'). On this basis, and with the strategic development and business plan forecast to 2024/25, the directors and trustees believe the company has adequate resources in place and consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly relate to charitable activities. Support costs include office costs, finance, insurance, investment management fees and governance costs which support the charity activities. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Branded Equipment - 25% on cost Motor vehicles - 25% on cost Computer equipment - 25% on cost 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation and impairment. 

## **Impairment of assets** 

At each reporting date assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared to its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss. 

If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss.
