Trustees Report (Including Directors' Report)

For The Year Ended 31 March 2023

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. The annual report serves the purposes of both a trustees' report and a directors' report under company law.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The objects of the charity are to assist in the provision of facilities to encourage physical and recreational activity for the benefit of the general public of all ages with the object of improving the conditions of life for such persons.

The charity provides facilities to the people of Faversham and the surrounding areas to enjoy gymnastic and fitness activities. There are no restrictions on who can take advantage of the facilities and the charity actively encourages disadvantaged and disabled members of society to take part in the activities available.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

The Trustees are pleased to report that the charity continues to provide a range of facilities and classes for local people in order to meet its objectives.

Achievements and performance

Coming out of the Pandemic the Soft Play reopened on a booking system and classes continued to run. The trustees agreed to the recommencement of parties and Holiday sessions once all restrictions were lifted though we continue to encourage regular equipment cleaning and hand cleansing.

Coaches have been encouraged to undertake courses to gain further qualifications and children from various squads have taken part in local competitions. An assistant manager was appointed for the fitness suite so that we can improve the quality of experience in that area of the building.

Financial review

The year has been one of financial challenge with not only the remains of problems caused by the pandemic, but also the side effects of the invasion and war in Ukraine. Inflation has pushed up prices in all areas and our staffing costs have also risen.

The statement of financial activities shows total incoming resources of £393,287. Net outgoing expenditure, excluding investment revaluations, is £132,966.

The total reserves at the year end were £1,492,552, of which £844,694 were liquid.

The significant increase in turnover helped to offset the increased costs and resulted in a lower net outgoing expenditure, excluding investment revaluations, than the previous year.

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

The trustees policy relating to the reserves continue to be that they can be used to fund the replacement of the building when it reaches the end of its useful life. We have used reserves to fund shortfalls in our income as a result of the pandemic.

Plans for future periods

We have no immediate plans to extend the building however what we offer in terms of classes and activities is under regular review and our main aim is to improve revenue and contain expenses so that we can return to running at a small surplus.

Notes To The Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Faversham Community Gymnastic and Activity Centre is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Centre, 23A Whitstable Road, Faversham, Kent, ME13 8BF, England.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Notes To The Financial Statements (Continued)

For The Year Ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold land and buildings 2-5% straight line Plant and equipment 10-25% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

1.8 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.9 Investments

Investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
