TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Social Impact & Public Benefit Sport, Recreation and Leisure
Leisure facilities re-opened on 12th April 2021 with facility and capacity limits in place until the end of July. The COVID-19 restrictions that were in place included no group exercise classes, mixing of households (indoor sports) or indoor hospitality to be open until mid-May. From 17th May, restrictions were reduced to allow more household mixing and all restrictions were lifted from the end of July. Queen’s Park has remained closed due to the financial viability of operating the site under COVID-19 restrictions, also seeing the majority of existing members using other BH Live sites as part of our multi-site offer.
Our membership numbers have increased over the last 12 months from 18,359 to 23,520 (an increase of over 5,000). A growth of more than 1,900 in Portsmouth and just under 3,500 in Bournemouth. BH Live held various membership and sales campaigns throughout the year, encouraging customers to join without having to pay a joining fee. Membership numbers are operating at just under 80% versus pre-pandemic across Bournemouth and just over 85% in Portsmouth. At the start of the year, we were operating at 51% versus pre pandemic across both regions. Our 23,520 members is made up of 90% paying by direct debit and 10% upfront payments. 1600 of the 23,520 are under 16’s with 4,937 over 55’s. 54% of our membership base is female.
From April 2021, we introduced BH Live Active at home – an online and on demand exercise platform that allowed our members to take part in live or pre-recorded group exercise classes. We currently stream over 20+ live group exercise classes per week from Pelhams Leisure Centre with the platform having over 1,100 on demand classes for our members to stream anywhere anytime. In April 2021, we saw the platform have over 9,000 members uses. As restrictions were lifted within centres, we have consistently seen between 2,000 to 3,000 members (10-15% of our membership base) use the platform each month.
Young People
Junior activities have seen a very encouraging return with all programmes reaching pre-pandemic levels. BH Live Swimming Academy has followed national trend across the group growing from 4,594 to 6,129. Portsmouth increased from 1,485 to 2,232 and Bournemouth sites from 3,109 to 3,897. All swim programmes are operating at 85% capacity. Gymnastics, tennis and Littledown Juniors all saw a positive return with encouraging demand continuing.
We have delivered school swimming to over 60 local schools in Bournemouth and Portsmouth working towards the three Key Stage 2 National Curriculum outcomes for school swimming.
We continued to support local swim clubs in Bournemouth and Portsmouth through subsidised pool hire and access.
In Portsmouth, we relaunched and organised BH Live City Games for 14 schools that sees local schools come together to compete in a variety of sports and games.
We operate activity camps during holidays to help working parents in both Bournemouth and Portsmouth. Portsmouth activity camps are part funded through the HAF programme targeting those children that have access to free school meals. Littledown Centre operates a similar funded scheme via Children in Need.
We offer free swimming for children aged 8 and under in Bournemouth and East Dorset and children aged 12 and under in Portsmouth.
Littledown & Mountbatten Centres both hosted a number of swimming galas. Mountbatten’s 50m pool is back operational for competitive swimming only.

Our new play and bounce facility Exploria at Pyramids Centre opened in August targeting children and young families to explore the wonders of the world and has generated over 55,000 bookings and we have delivered 615 birthday parties.
Investments
Portsmouth City Council in partnership with BH Live has invested over £3.6 million at the Pyramids Centre converting an old leisure pool and events space into a designated state of the art play & bounce centre and newly refurbished gym with 2 dedicated studios. Our play & bounce centre, known as Exploria opened in August with the new gym opening in January 2022.
Littledown Centre has seen a new reception area fitted including new flooring, customer service desk and access control gates installed. This improves security at the centre and provides a more personable welcoming experience.

BH Live has invested in converting three condemned 5-a-side pitches into one dedicated 7-a-side and one brand new five a side pitch. This is our first 7-a-side pitch at Pelhams and has seen increased demand for this pitch. Our five outdoor courts across Pelhams and Corfe Mullen have been resealed and painted to refresh these outdoor courts.
Our group exercise studios across Bournemouth have been redecorated with a number of studios having new feature lighting installed and kitted out with Les Mills Body Smart equipment across Littledown and Corfe Mullen. This has increased studio capacity and improved the customer experience.
Health & Wellbeing
Our Health & Wellbeing programmes target a number of different groups including those with long term health conditions, over 50’s, low-income families and BAME groups.
We also received a number of funding initiatives to deliver schemes and work closely with Active Dorset, EnergiseMe, Sport England, Active4Health, Parkinson UK, BreathEasy and both local authorities to support our schemes.

Let’s Bounce Back is a Portsmouth City Council initiative that encourages healthy and sustainable weight loss through weekly classes around Portsmouth.

Mountbatten Centre operates three ESCAPE pain courses each week that targets those with Osteoarthritis of the knee and hip. Mountbatten Centre has had individuals who have come onto the course being inactive that are now using the gym up to 4 times a week, at classes or swimming. This is testament to how effective the course is at both improving outlook of those with Osteoarthritis and as a pathway to the wider activities that Exercise Referral can offer customers, for example our Osteocircuits, low-impact circuits and GP aquafit classes, which are well attended weekly. Alongside the physical benefits exhibited from the course, it also allows socialisation and group discussion on all topics surrounding Osteoarthritis.

Culture and Arts
The financial year 2021/22 continued to be impacted by COVID-19 with restrictions remaining in place through to quarter 2 resulting in our venues remaining closed for part of this time and then with capacity restrictions once we were able to reopen. However, consumer confidence and staffing challenges that were experienced across the events sector saw many producers and promoters reschedule events to later in the year or even to the following financial year.
The events team were successful in rescheduling 181 shows across the venues with an additional 68 performances cancelling across the year.
- Bournemouth International Centre: 32 postponed, 4 cancelled Pavilion Theatre: 83 postponed, 24 cancelled
Fairfield Halls: 66 postponed, 40 cancelled
July 2021 saw a number of events return across our venues with Future Cheer, Time Upon A Once and Big Little Theatre School’s Broadway Showtunes at the Bournemouth International Centre and London Mozart Players/Jess Gillam and Savvy’s Steam Punk Pantomime at Fairfield Halls. These socially distanced events required several operational changes to comply with COVID-19 guidance including session timing changes, reduced capacity, auditorium seating configuration (1m and 2m compliance), increased cleaning regimes, air handling plans and venue transfers to larger auditoria. Our teams and systems have done a fantastic job in very difficult circumstances with customers and producers providing positive feedback and excellent customer experiences being delivered.
The ticketing platform migration from AudienceView to Tessitura Network and the relaunch of www.bhlivetickets.co.uk was completed successfully during the year involving the transfer of more than 255,000 customer records imported and 51,000 live orders.
Additionally, improved customer journeys via our venue websites, mobile friendly ticket purchase and comprehensive customer relationship management will be deployed to increase direct tickets sales, increase speed of sale and enable greater levels of self-service.
Bournemouth International Centre
Major events in the year included JLS, Simply Red, Stormzy, War of the Worlds all of which attracted capacity audiences following the pandemic restrictions.
James Blunt performed at Bournemouth International Centre Thursday 22nd July and this was the first fullcapacity event in the Windsor Hall since March 2020 followed by The Specials, McFly and Elbow.

Sell out shows included Cliff Richard, JLS, The Australian Pink Floyd, Michael Ball & Alfie Boe, Gary Barlow, Simply Red, Texas, Stormzy, Stereophonics, Dave and War of the Worlds with several comedians performing to large audiences. The Gary Barlow on-sale saw initial sales of over 1,600 tickets with 93% being made online.
The ice rink enjoyed a strong performance with almost 31,000 attendances an over achievement against budget of nearly 5,000 attendances. The ice rink performance was further improved with the introduction of Roller, the online pre-purchase solution used at Exploria which has enabled improved customer service, reporting and upsell capabilities.
The BIC economic impact was approximately £4 million despite the restrictions owing to the pandemic this represents 93% of the economic impact for the year 2019/20.
Pavilion
The Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre diary was impacted more than the BIC owing to nature of the performances hosted and their reliance on multiple venue tours and a more perceived discretionary purchase product. This was evidenced in a larger number of postponements and cancellations across the year.
September and October 2021 saw the restart of events at the Pavilion Theatre with the sell-out The Drifters and also That’ll Be The Day, Chicago Blues Brothers, Chance to Dance and Milton Jones.
Further successes during the remainder of the year included Level 42, Rhod Gilbert, Fisherman’s Friends, Chris Ramsay, Sarah Millican and also our first week-long musical of the year We Will Rock You which sold very strongly, all capacities for these events were above 92% with the venue receiving excellent customer feedback.
Pavilion Theatre Pantomime successfully completed a full run despite the re-emergence of the Omicron variant over the winter period which proved challenging for staff, cast and crew.
The Pavilion economic impact for the year was approximately £2.1 million – the reduction on the economic impact of 2019/20 was approximately 50%.
Fairfield Halls
The venue reopened with socially distanced events from London Mozart Players, hosting Sheku KannehMason in the Concert Hall and SAVVY Theatre’s long waited Steam Punk Panto of Jack & The Beanstalk in the Ashcroft Theatre. This was followed by a sold-out performance of Nick Cave in the Concert Hall. Romesh Ranganathan performed two sold-out nights as did Alan Carr. The concert was the first time the venue had used NSCAN as part of BH Live’s upgrade to Tessitura Network ticketing platform.
Talawa Theatre presented Run It Back in The Recreational. The original run being delayed due to COVID-19. Talawa Theatre received Arts Council funding to offer free tickets to those under 25 years of age. A very high percentage of the audience were from diverse ethnic groups and within the London Borough of Croydon
Hillsong resumed their services at Fairfield Halls following a hiatus during COVID-19. Their congregation were hesitant to return as many are in vulnerable demographics. The reopening of Fairfield Halls also saw the first Mixed Martial Arts event take place. These events have brought in new audiences to Fairfield Halls.
December saw the first #Merky presents events taking place in partnership with the #Merky Foundation, this is Stormzy’s foundation. There was a showcase for local talent including Norbury Girls' choir. The events were for residents of Croydon only and hosted by Stormzy, this was the start of a budding relationship with the #Merky Foundation.

The Fairfield Halls pantomime, Imagine Theatre’s production of Beauty & the Beast, commenced but owing to a COVID-19 outbreak within the cast and crew it cancelled its run on Christmas Eve.
The Concert Hall has also proven a favourite with organisations wishing to rehearse or record their work. Hires for this purpose have included organisation such as Vivat Music Foundation, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Opera Ra Ra, BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra.
The Economic Impact for the year was approximately £1.1 million.
We continued to work with our partners at London Borough of Croydon including being an active member of the Steering Committee for London Borough of Culture.
Corporate Responsibility
The current energy crisis has further focused our efforts with regards to energy efficiency within our buildings, which are known to be high consumers of utilities. Operational plans have been put in place to ensure that the consumption of gas, electricity and water are minimised. BH Live has recently engaged the services of Portsmouth City Council’s Energy Management Team to monitor our utilities usage and any charges we receive as a result. They are also engaged to coordinate third party intercession as well as provide certification to ensure legal compliance.
The move towards understanding BH Live’s CO2[E] Footprint to meet our stated target of Net Zero Carbon by 2030 and Carbon Neutrality by 2035 has been achieved with the publication of the first Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) assessment. Whilst not required as a legal submission until FY 2023/2024, completing the SECR this year gives us an insight and benchmark standard that we can base our future CO2[E ] Footprint monitoring and reduction strategies on.
BH Live is currently leading on research collaborations with both Community Leisure UK (CLUK) and other Leisure and Venue Trust Operators throughout the UK. One major research project currently underway evaluates the effectiveness of “green” technology and construction materials in buildings across the Leisure, Arts and Culture Social Enterprise Sectors.
BH Live’s collaborations on sustainability have increased this past year with regular meetings with both Bournemouth Christchurch Poole and Portsmouth City Councils’ Sustainability Teams. As a result, several environmentally sustainable project proposals are being developed in all contracts including the introduction of Electric Vehicle Charging; proposal for increasing solar PV provision and the evaluation of more sustainable heating options away from fossil fuel burning boilers etc.
Our programme of staff environmental awareness and development continues with the introduction of Environmental Champions at each centre/venue as part of our #Green Teams initiative. Regular workshops are held to focus on a specific issue and general sustainability news and discussion forums are included in the workshop agenda. June’s focus was on Refuse and Recycling with individual Site Waste Management Plans (SWMP) being drawn up by the Champions and Site Teams. These SWMPs are actioned and incorporated into the BH Live’s Corporate Waste Management Strategy (one of the key environmental strategies mentioned in previous Trust Reports). The next #Green Team workshop is scheduled to focus on Energy Monitoring and Consumption Reduction. It will also introduce the Champions to the practical application of our Energy Management Monitoring Platform – “Systems Link”.
Resources committed by BH Live’s and our Partners to reduce energy consumption and our reliance fossil fuels include but are not limited to: the installation of a new pool liner at Corfe Mullen; pool covers at both Littledown and Stokewood; Installation of a CHP and LED lighting at the Mountbatten; High Efficiency Showers to changing rooms at Mountbatten, Pyramids and Stokewood. Installation of high efficiency lighting and switch controls in the main hall at Littledown.

Trading Subsidiary
BH Live as a social enterprise continues to operate commercial activities through its trading subsidiary which directly support the charitable activities.
During the year we were still impacted by Government restrictions in our venues remaining close early in the year and then reduced capacities which meant that a large number of planned conferences and exhibitions did not take place. However later in the year we were able to return to normal trading and welcomed our clients and customers back into our venues.
During the year we successfully launched a temporary bar and outside seating area on the Pavilion's South Terrace. In addition to providing a much-needed open air service its success enabled us to retain key hospitality staff whilst generating significant new income.
We continue to support Business Events Bournemouth, which is the region's business tourism bureau, venue and hotel finder, in partnership with BCP Council and Bournemouth's Business Improvement Districts (BID); Coastal BID and Town Centre BID.
Expansion and Investment
During the year we launched or invested into the following:
-
New ticketing CRM, inventory management and ecommerce platform
-
New venue websites with seamless payment journeys powered by the new ticketing platform HR and Payroll system with new rota management functionality
Quality
-
Several Centres passed inspection on COVID-19 Security Measures by Local Authority Environmental Protection Officers.
-
Operated all leisure venues under the COVID-19 safe guidance measures issued by UK Active.
Financial review
Results for the year ended 31 March 2022
BH Live reported a profit for the year of £500,684 as we began to recover from the effects of COVID-19. Our leisure venues started to reopen in April 2021 but our cultural venues were still negatively impacted by restrictions in opening and capacities until the second quarter of the year.
The trading subsidiary has recorded a profit of £1,177,358 which is gift aided to the Charity.
Most expenditure incurred by BH Live is directly related to the activities, building maintenance and services provided to customers and clients. Additionally, BH Live invests in developing its facilities, staff, sports and cultural programming and infrastructure to increase activity, attendances and customer experience.

Going Concern
BH Live was deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic with multiple lockdowns reducing charitable and trading income by significant levels.
The actions that BH Live took during the pandemic ensured the survival of the business, although retained profits and reserves were reduced to £1 as at March 2021.
The actions taken during 2020 and 2021 included claiming Job Retention scheme (CJRS), receiving a £2.5m Cultural Recovery Grant, agreeing support packages and fee reductions with BH Live’s 3 main trading partners (BCP, PCC and LBC Councils), restructuring the business with redundancies being made, and taking out a £5m Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan (CBIL).
BH Live also took advantage of all other government support schemes such as Business Rates reductions, VAT payment deferral and other support grants, in addition to very tight cost control and the termination of some contracts.
Despite the challenges of COVID-19 the business maintained positive cash balances as a result of advance ticket sales for events that were re-arranged to future dates, in addition to the CBIL funds.
The 2021/22 trading year saw the business start to return to normal. COVID-19 had an impact at the start of the year due to continuing restrictions and was also impacted by the Omicron variant, with some shows being cancelled and others rescheduled.
However, the business did see a return to normal trading for both Leisure activities and Events.
In addition to the recovery in our trading income, we continued to benefit from a number of positive one-offs. These included claiming further CJRS, receiving National Leisure Recovery Funds, COVID-19 restart grants, a Sport England grant, continued Business Rates relief, and significant Additional Restrictions grants.
The Bournemouth International Centre and Pavilion Theatre were also used as vaccinations centres.
The end result was a surplus for the year with reserves increasing back to £501k.
Looking forward to 2022/23 and beyond the BH Live Board and senior management team are confident that the business will continue its recovery from the pandemic.
Underlying trading income continues to recover which is expected to offset the reduction in one-off support receipts.
The first quarter of 2022/23 has seen the business report a healthy surplus. However, challenges remain as a result of the cost of living crisis and increased energy, staff and other costs. The increase in our costs will reduce expected profits and will also affect our income levels as our customers feel the effects of inflation pressures.
Our cash balance remains very healthy which gave the Board the confidence to repay £2m of the £5m CBIL on the 1[st] April 2022.
Despite this new challenge the investments and actions (such as reduced fees payable to our partners and restructuring) that the business took during the last few years has put the business in a good place to deal with these new challenges.
The Board of Trustees therefore remain confident that the business has a promising future.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Reserves policy
The Trustees regularly review BH Live's Reserves Policy. The Trustees have approved a Reserves Policy in line with the guidance issued by The Charity Commission. The purpose of these reserves is to safeguard both against significant loss in income and any unforeseen adverse circumstances and to facilitate the continuance of the deliverance of the charitable company’s stated objectives.
BH Live operates four distinct areas of business, Sport and Leisure, Conferences and Exhibitions, Entertainment and Hospitality. Prior to COVID-19 an internal risk assessment deemed that the probability of all areas of the business being impacted by a significant loss in income and/or any unforeseen adverse circumstances at the same time was minimal. Based on this, a prudent estimation of reserve cover was one month’s expenditure of the largest turnover based business unit, equating to a reserve level of £1.5 million. At the end of the year the group held reserves of £501k.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the business meaning that BH Live made substantial losses during 2020/21 reducing reserves to £1 as at 31[st] March 2021.
The return to profitability during 2021/22 increased reserves back to £501k.
Looking forward our reserves policy will be to rebuild our reserves to a much higher level to protect the business from future shocks. Our aim is to build up reserves in excess of £5 million to cover the amount of advance ticket sales that BH Live collect. This will take many years to deliver and will affect business decisions ensuring that the rebuilding of reserves is a priority as we grow back the business.
Investment policy
Funds that are not immediately required for operational needs and cannot be applied to either reduce existing borrowings or avoid the raising of new borrowings will be held in cash and invested in short term money market accounts.
Given the COVID-19 pandemic the priority is to ensure that any surplus cash is available at short notice to provide short term liquidity and protect the business from further possible restrictions that may be imposed.
Investment income shown in the account represents predominately short-term investments in the Money Market.
Strategies and policies
Performance against the budgets is reported to the Board on a quarterly basis and the strategy is reviewed on an annual basis.
The budget prepared in February 2021 was set whilst Covid uncertainties remained. The Plan was for the business to start to return to more normal trading.
During the pandemic BH Live reduced expenditure and embarked on a major restructuring to ensure the business was efficient in the future. The business also took advantage of every government support measure.
BH Live worked closely with major partners (BCP, PCC and LBC councils), suppliers and landlords.
The combination of the above, together with very careful cash flow management enabled the business to survive the COVID-19 related downturn. The future strategy is focused around returning the business to profitability to rebuild our reserves. This will involve improvements in processes and making the business more efficient throughout, using new technologies and systems.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
A new three year business plan was prepared in February 2022 with the business returning to normal and profits growing in each year of the plan.
Budgetary control is supported by documented internal procedures which include the approved delegation of investment, purchases and contracts/leases.
Risk
The major risks to which the Trust could be exposed to have been reviewed and systems established to mitigate these risks, this includes developing the strategic risk register which includes consideration of impact and remedial actions. The register is continually reviewed and revised, staff also receive training in undertaking risk assessments. The strategic risk register has been presented each Board meeting.
The Trust is not exposed to currency risk and has minimal exposure to interest rate risk, price risk or market risk.
Negotiations with our primary partners to de risk our commercial exposure by way of surplus share mechanisms have been met positively.
Senior Management Team Remuneration Policy
The pay and remuneration of key management staff is set with reference to the complexity of each role and is benchmarked against similar organisations in the region and in the charity sector. Annual pay progression is discretionary and subject to performance, affordability and the prevailing market rate for the role.
Employee involvement and employment of the disabled
During the continued uncertainties of the pandemic BH Live recognised the need to engage with all the workforce, review opportunities for development and listen to ways to create an engaging and great place to work.
BH Live continued to utilise the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) throughout the life of the scheme to September 2021 providing a lifeline to the business and colleagues.
As our centres remobilised, we are pleased to have reengaged a number of colleagues both in casual and contracted roles.
April 2021 saw the launch of a new HR and Payroll platform, enabling colleagues to access their personal details online, view digital payslips and manage their annual leave. This has provided further opportunities and ways to communicate with colleagues, an avenue to be explored further during 2022/23.
In August 2021 colleagues were given the opportunity to complete an Engagement Survey. The number of responses was low unsurprisingly as this coincided with furlough leave and reduced staffing levels. Nevertheless, due consideration has been given to the results and free text comments.
Supporting the remobilisation of our venues and centres, Learning Zone, our online learning platform, housed content such as COVID-19 secure training, reopening measures, employee health and wellbeing and a change to blended learning (a mix of digital and face to face).
A series of workshops, discussions and forums have resulted in refreshed business core values and a framework of supporting behaviours. These were launched at an employee event in March 2022 and will continue to be cascaded during 2022/23 as they are embedded into both ways of working and policies. BH Live has in place detailed policies for a wide range of personnel matters including Equality and Diversity and Health and Safety.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
BH Live has in place detailed policies for a wide range of personnel matters including Equality and Diversity and Health and Safety.
Responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010 are fulfilled. Aligned to our Equality and Diversity policy are longstanding fair employment practices in recruitment selection and retention, and training for a diverse audience. We consider our style and approach when communicating with colleagues where reasonable adjustments can be beneficial, such as engaging sign language interpreters.
BH Live has met its obligations in publishing the Gender Pay Gap reports, copies of which are available on our webpages.
Plans for future periods
Future developments
Business Objectives for 2022/23
Our 2022/23 business plan builds upon the successes of the last year. It represents another year of rebuilding our finances, optimising new ways of working, reframing our corporate culture and ultimately attracting more customers back to enjoy the BH Live experience.
The plan is built on a staggered return to near-normal trading by the end of 2022/23. This plan and its progress will be reported to the board quarterly with a formal mid-year review to ensure its continued relevance considering prevailing operational, regulatory and market conditions.

The development of BH Live’s key strategic themes and their continued refinement remains a principal goal for the coming financial year. These strategic themes provide the executive team with long-term organisational objectives that day-to-day operations are built upon. These strategies are aligned to delivering this business plan and, in many cases, wider local, regional and national objectives. To recap, the corporate themes are;
-
Environmental Strategy – continued implementation of existing strategy with the organisation net carbon neutral by 2030
-
Digital Transformation
-
refine and agree the draft strategy with the organisation becoming a digital leader
-
Customer Service Excellence
-
define and implement a best-in-class customer journey for implementation
-
Added Social Value – define and implement a system that focuses organisational decision making and its understanding of our beneficial impact on communities
-

Structure, governance and management
Constitution
BH Live is a registered charity, charity number 1138311 and a company limited by guarantee, company Number 07092112. BH Live (Enterprises) Limited, Company Number 07175626 is a wholly owned trading subsidiary of the parent organisation, BH Live. It has been established to manage the non-charitable activities, primarily relating to Conferences and Exhibitions.
The composition and size of the Board is reviewed regularly to assess the skills requirement of the Board for it to meet the needs of the charity. The Board of Trustees was set up through a mix of identified skill sets, through open adverts in the press and BCP Council (formerly Bournemouth Borough Council) nominees.
Replacement Trustees are recruited in a similar manner. The Board meets at least four times per year, with a Designated General Meeting normally being held in September of each year.
BH Live has a policy of arrangements under which potential conflicts of interest can be recognised and managed. The purpose of these arrangements is to avoid any danger of Trustees being influenced or appearing to be influenced by their private interests in the exercise of their Trustee duties.
A register of Trustee’s relevant interests is maintained. In addition, a standing item of all Board and Committee meetings requires Trustees to declare interests if they have an interest, pecuniary or otherwise, in any matter being considered. The Board or Committee will then decide whether it is appropriate for the Trustee to participate or withdraw from the meeting.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Trustees' responsibilities statement
The Trustees (who are also directors of BH Live for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. 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 the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the group will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Provision of Information to Auditor
Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' report is approved has confirmed that:
-
so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the group's auditors are unaware, and
-
that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any information needed by the group's auditors in connection with preparing their report and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.
Auditor
The auditors, Mazars LLP, have indicated their willingness to continue in office. The Designated Trustees will propose a motion re-appointing the auditors at a meeting of the Trustees.
This report was approved by the Trustees, on and signed on their behalf by: Oct 18, 2022

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BH LIVE
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of BH Live (the ‘parent charity’) and its subsidiary (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities incorporating the Income and Expenditure Account, the Consolidation Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 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 Standards, including FRS 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 group’s and of the parent charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the group's 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 (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 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 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 company'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 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 auditor’s report 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BH LIVE
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report, which includes the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report included within the Trustees' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report included within the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement set out on page 17, the trustees (who are also directors of the parent charity for the purposes 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 directors are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent 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 directors intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial 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 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 the financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
Based on our understanding of the parent charity and its industry, we considered that non-compliance with the following laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements: employment regulation, health and safety regulation, anti-money laundering regulation, non-compliance with implementation of government support schemes relating to COVID-19.
To help us identify instances of non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, our procedures included, but were not limited to:
-
Inquiring of management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance, as to whether the parent charity is in compliance with laws and regulations, and discussing their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
-
Inspecting correspondence, if any, with relevant licensing or regulatory authorities;
-
Communicating identified laws and regulations to the engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; and
-
Considering the risk of acts by the parent charity which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such tax legislation, pension legislation, the Companies Act 2006.
In addition, we evaluated the directors’ and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of management override of controls, and determined that the principal risks related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to revenue recognition (which we pinpointed to the cut-off assertion(s) subject to your revenue recognition significant fraud risk, and significant one-off or unusual transactions.
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:
-
Making enquiries of the directors and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud;
-
Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and
-
Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BH LIVE
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.
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 auditor’s report.
Use of the audit report
This report is made solely to the company's members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
BH Live meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.
No separate SOFA has been presented for the company alone as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
1.2 Company status
The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 14. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.
1.3 Going concern
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concern. The Trustees have outlined the actions taken in response to the Pandemic in the Trustees report and consider that they ensure the business is able to continue for the foreseeable future. The Trustees believe that these actions will enable the charity to be able to meet its obligations. Specifically, the support provided by our main partners, the continued healthy cash at bank balances and the return to more normal trading conditions and profits puts the business in a much stronger and less uncertain position than a year ago.
The cost of living crisis and inflationary pressures (especially on energy) are creating challenges for the leisure and entertainment industries and for the UK economy. BH Live has responded by raising prices for some services where we can, plus focused on cost control including actions to reduce energy consumption.
Whilst challenges remain, the Trustees have confidence that the diverse nature of BH Live’s business, combined with the support of our partners, will ensure a successful future for BH Live.

-

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.
Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income.
Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the company's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.
Charitable expenditure and basis of allocation of costs comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services to enable the charity to meet its charitable aims and objectives. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Staff costs and overhead expenses are allocated to activities on the basis of employee numbers.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
1.6 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the group; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
1.7 Intangible fixed assets and amortisation
Software assets are stated at cost less amortisation. Amortisation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the software, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives. The amortisation rate applied to software assets is between 10% and 20% straight line.

1.8 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
The company operates a £1,000 de minimis value on fixed asset additions, amounts lower than this limit are fully expensed in the period of purchase.
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Long Term Leasehold - straight line over the lease term Improvements Catering Equipment - 20% straight line Gym Equipment - 10% straight line Fixtures & fittings - 7% - 20% straight line
1.9 Investments
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.
1.10 Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs.
1.11 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.12 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.13 Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
1.14 Financial instruments
The group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

1.15 Fund accounting
Funds held by the charity are:
Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
Designated funds - these are funds set aside by the trustees out of the unrestricted general funds for specific purposes or projects.
Restricted funds - these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.
1.16 Leasing and hire purchase
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
1.17 Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
The company operates a defined benefits pension scheme. The scheme is a multi-employer scheme where it is not possible, in the normal course of events, to identify on a consistent and reasonable basis, the share of underlying assets and liabilities belonging to individual participating employers. Therefore, as required by FRS17 'Retirement benefits', the company accounts for this scheme as if it was a defined contribution scheme. The amount charged to the Statement of Financial Activities represents contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.
1.18 Taxation
The charitable company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
The tax expense for the year relates to BH Live Enterprises Limited. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
