ACTIVE BARNSLEY LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companie5 Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 l January 2019). OBJECTIVES AND AcfiviTIES Oblectives and aims The objective of the Charity is the promotion of community participation in active recreation, sport and healthy lifestyles, in particular by:_ Delivering and developing projects and services to improve the health and wellbeing of all Barnsley residents. Promoting and developing existing health and sporting activities in the Borough of Barnsley and encouraging the formation of new ones. Forging effective links between schools, clubs and statutory agencies in this purp05e' Improving the accessibility and quality of health services for the benefit of community recreation throughout the area. Public benefit In setting its plans and priorities for areas of work and activity, the Management Committee have had regard to guidance from the Charity Commission on public statement of benefit. The Charity's objectives and activities demonstrate how it has set out to fulfil its charitable objectives. Page 2
ACTIVE BARNSLEY LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities The present market has been developed over time, through recommendations and through partnership working within both the health and wellbeing and community sport networks, with a clear focus on projects encouraging an active healthy lifestyle. Following the austerity funding cuts, we have gradually increased our focus on cycling training. with the aim of being the primary experts in this field in Barnsley. The main client groups are: Department for Transport {BMBCI - Bikeability Scheme. Local Sustainable Transport Fund {BMBC>- Adult cycle and learn to ride training. Schools - both after school clubs and PPA {where a teacher is substituted by a coach during lesson time - freeing the teacher to prepare, plan and mark). - Summer and other holiday activity Schemes through the Healthy Holidays programme (BMBC). Healthy Lifestyle type activities with the NHS and other health interest bodies. These major groups are located within the Barnsley area, although occasional work has taken place across local borders in previous financial periods. Major grant funding ceased to be a source of the Charity's income in the years of austerity following the global financial crisis, with public sector based tender contracts now the primary source of Charity income. This is supplemented by applications for minor funding streams, along with sustainable self-funded project work. Service contracts and minor funding streams are targeted at a particular group, and the money is always 'ring-fenced" This may give a false impresslon that the charity is operating with a large cash surplus. when in reality the money is simply unspent at the time, but is required to deliver future contracted work. It is the intention that a substantial reserve is maintained to aid the retention of staff whose roles are tied to service contracted projects. The community coaches and development officers undertake projects on behalf of the Barnsley community. The majority of these projects focus upon health service provision, cycling. physical activity and sport. The service provided by the Charity involves both activity delivery and educational advice, with the Charity providing highly experienced and qualified staff to maximise partnership resources. The period 2024/25 marked the continuation of several of Active Barnsley's large pieces of contracted work. Bikeability received a further twelve months funding (with a per head increase), which is currently committed through to March 2026, although there was a reduction in Level 3 allocation and Bikeability Balance ceased entirely. Adult Cycle Training was also not refunded in 2024125, with it now being delivered on a much smaller scale, in-house by Barnsley MBC as part of their Active Travel offer. The holiday activities at Shaw Lane Sports Club, funded by the Department of Education Holiday Activities and Food Programme, continued through 2024/25 in Easter and summer holiday periods, with further funding for the programme recently announced until December 2028. Work also carried on in Cawthorne Primary School, continuing our long standing relationship. Covid-19 The Covid-19 Pandemic which Struck in March 2020 had a significant and immediate impact on the Charity. The Charity stopped delivering all services from this point and didn't restart until September 2020. Page 3
ACTIVE BARNSLEY LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Active Barnsley continued to make use of the flexible furlough scheme to sustain jobs, from April 2021 until it's conclusion in September 2021, as the available workload remained much reduced during this period. Although school based work continued on a slightly reduced basis in this time, community work did not resume at any level until July 2021, but has now recovered to pre-covid levels. As the furlough scheme reached its conclusion, the Charity was able to retain all current members of staff and return its delivery of projects back to full capacity. At the end of 2024125, we now feel that the pandemic is fully in the rear mirror. although long term funding for projects has been scarce since pre-pandemic. FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy The Management Committee aims to keep twelve months running costs in reserved funds, both for ongoing financial security, and recognising the importance of holding a substantial resenie to help secure future lar8e grant funding by oosting funder confidence. These levels have reduced over recent years due to increased costs. and a slight reduction in Bikeability funding during 2024125, currently standing at 9-10 months reserves. The aim remains to gradually increase these reserves back towards 12 months. £20,000 is currently allocated for capital expenditure that the Charity may be required to spend to maintain its operations (a fleet of bikes, means to transport them and office IT equipment). With a number of long serving members of staff. the Charity will also allocate £40,000 to cover any future possible redundancy payment5. The remainin8 funds will be allocated as free reserve5 to aid staff retention through transition periods between funding and project grants, contingencies for unforeseen reductions in grant allocations, and any future reduction in income due to the effetts of the current financial outlook and possible public sector spending cuts. It also remains vital to maintain a high level of reserves, due to the nature of Bikeability funding, which is paid in arrears, up to 6 months after the work is carried out. Page 4
AcfivE BARNSLEY LTD ' REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 FUTURE PLANS Bikeability funding is currently confirmed until March 2026, although further funding has not yet been confirmed. The Bikeability Trust were confident of a multi-year funding settlement, but the final funding announcement has been delayed until after the 2025 Budget. A funding commitment longer than one year has not been made since a three year agreement from 2017118 to 2019/20, due to the Covid-19 outbreak and volatile political landscape since this time. A longer term settlement will allow the Charity to be able to make better medium term planning decisions for the first time since the Pandemic. The current tender agreement for contracted delivery with Barnsley MBC runs through 2025/26 and may have to be re-tendered prior to delivery in 2026/27. Although the Charity remain confident of continued Bikeability fundin& there is always the threat of the current financial difficulties affecting public spendin& which could impact on Transportation budgets in the short to medium term. The current three year funding for the Healthy Activity and Food Programme, which forms the Active Barnsley holiday activity offering finishes in December 2025. However, a further three years funding has already been confirmed by the Department for Education, prior to the 2025 Budget. This funding cycle will run until December 2028, with the service being re-tendered in early 2026. Active Barnsley remain5 committed to working With a range of partners to increase both the quantity and quality of healthy activity in the area. Key elements of our work in relation to service delivery and management will include: Further developing Active Barnsley's role as lead cycle training provider in the area through Bikeability and other child and adult cycle training. Delivering programmes of health education in partnership with local agencies and funders Sourcing small grants to develop projects to benefit local participants and volunteers. - Working with The Shaw Lane Foundation to help develop a community hub at Shaw Lane Sports Club.

The Management Committee will continue to review the level of free reserves in order to ensure that there are sufficient levels of free reserves held to provide financial stability over any forthcomin8 challenges. Trustees consider maintaining a large cash reserve is now more important than ever following the Covid-19 Pandemic and the ongoing difficult economic outlook, to insulate the Charity against the possibility of any negative consequences that may lay ahead, such as funding Cuts. STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES, RESPONSIBILITIES The trustees (who are also the directors of Active Barnsley Ltd for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Pa8e 6
AcfivE BARNSLEY LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES, RESPONSIBILITIES - continued Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice Iunited Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, includinE the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustee5 are required to select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. observe the methods and principles in the Charitie5 SORP; makejudgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable step5 for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In so far as the trustees are aware: there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditor5 are unaware; and the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. AUDITORS The auditor5, Xeinadin Audit Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. Approved by order of the board of trustees on 16 December 2025 and signed on its behalf by: Mr M W Dewsnap - Secretary Page 7
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF AcfivE BARNSLEY LTD Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Active Barnsley Ltd (the 'charitable company,) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and 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 Standard5 (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, including its income and expenditure, 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 {UKI {ISAs {UK}) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors, responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 relatlng to golng 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 collettively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve month5 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doin8 so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material mi55tatements, 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. Page 8
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORSTO THE MEMBERS OF ACTIVE BARNSLEY LTD Opinions on other matters prescrlbed by the Companies Art 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are requlred to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us. or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns," or certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees. Responslbllltles of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purpose5 of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for beinB 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 asse55ing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 8oin8 concern basis of accounting unle55 the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Pa8e 9
REPORTOFTHE INDEPENDENT AUDITORSTOTHE MEMBERS OF AcfivE BARNSLEY LTD Our responsibilitie5 for the audit of the financlal statements 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 decision5 of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud is detailed below: We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We design audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to the Companies Act 2006. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. Because of the inherent limitation5 of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material mi55tatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. The 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 non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. Page 10
