NOThINGHAM FOREST COMMUNITY TRUST TRUSTEES. REPORT {CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 Financial review The Charity continued to be imparted by the Covid pandemic. particularly in the first quarter of the year, with the Forest Sports Zone facility closed to all or significantly all activities during the third national lockdown. However, m05t other programmes, including delivery in schools. was able to continue so the impact has been less severe than in 2020. The highlights of the year were as follows: The charity made an overall surplus of £97.290 (2020: £168.1811 Our total income for the year was £2,083,796 {2020'. £1,293,586). The Forest Sports Zone recorded income in the year of £203,633 (2020: £193,663} and again made a small surplus. Our education programmes increased in the year with the launch of a new five year Think Bi( programme in partnership with Ideagen, which connects youn8 people to the world of technology and the benefits of a career in technology. In addition, the Trust has employed five young people under the Kickstart scheme. Our 8TEC and Foundation degree programmes had a stable year, and there was once again strong participation again in our Premier League Primary Stars offer. There has once again been a very positive latIonShIp with Nottingham Forest Football Club. and we were very grateful for the generous donations in the year. Our new Health income stream represents the Holiday Activity Fund awarded by Nottingham City Council.

The programme is aimed at supporting those families who are in the greatest need. Ourinclusion programmes Saw a small decrease with some small one of funding in 2020 not repeating for 2021.

NOThINGHAM FORESTCOMMUNITYTRUST TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 Future Outlook The Charity has negotiated the challenges resulting from the Covid pandemic proactively and as a result has emerged in a strong position. The Chartty remains ambitious and there are several new opportunities for the Charity to be involved with and additional resources have been made available to ensure that the most is made of these. The Charity is in a strong financial positton at the end of 2021 and by remaining proactive and flexible will be in a 8ood position to deal with any challenges It faces and will strive to continue to achieve maximum impact in the local communities where we work. Reserves pollcy It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds. which have not been designated for a specific use. should be maintained at a level equivalent to a half of annual recurring expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that. in the event of a significant drop in fundin& they will be able to continue the charity's current activitie5 while consideration is also given to ways in which additional funds can be raised. Unrestricted funds per note 17 at 31 December 2021 are £477.970 and our estimate of 6 months recurring expenditure is £430,530. The board are pleased to report that the charity maintained its minimum level of reserves throughout 2021. There is £357,259 in a designated fund to expand areas within the charity including additional governance roles. investment in facilities, leveraging external investment opportunities and marketing. When setting the reserves policy for unrestricted funds the trustees are mindful of the fact that some restricted activities require the use of unrestricted funds in the short term. Funding for restricted activities is sometimes received after the activity has been completed and expenditure will initially have been met from unrestricted funds. Asset cover for funds Note 18 sets out an analysis of the assets attributable to the various funds and a description of the funds 15 set out in note 1.2. These 355ets are sufficient to meet the charity's obligations on fund by fund basis.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST COMMUNITY TRUST Responsiblllties of trustees As explained more fully in the Trustees, Responsibilities Statement set out on page 8, the trustees {who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for bein8 satisfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such internal control as the dirertors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the companTrls ability to continue as a going concern, disclosin& as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditorfs responstbilities for the audlt of the flnandal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuran about whether the financial statements as whole are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs 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 IUKI 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 experted to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our SponsIbl11t1e5. outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities. including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detectin8 irregularities, includin8 fraud is detailed below: Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the industry in which it operates. we identified that the principal risks of non<ompliance with laws and regulations related to the acts by the charitable company, which were contrary to applicable laws and re8ulations including fraud, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also cons•dered those laws and regulations that have a direct Impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to inflated revenue and the charitable companvs net income for the year. Audit procedures performed included- review of the financial statement disclosure5 to underlying supporting documentation. review of correspondence with and reports to the regulators. including correspondence with the Charity Commission. review of correspondence with legal advisors, enquiries of management, and testing of journals and evaluating whether li
NOTTINGHAM FORESTCOMMUNITYTRUST there was evidence of bias by the trustees that represented a risk of material mi55tatement due to fraud. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-complian with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would becorne aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material mi55tatement 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.
