REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

Our charity's purposes as set out in the objects contained in the Memorandum of Association, are the promotion of the participation of children and young people in healthy recreation, in particular by the provision of facilities for gymnastics.

Public benefit

The community benefits from our activities through the promotion of community participation in activities which enhance physical health and fitness, and build confidence and self-esteem in children and young people.

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

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

In the year end to 30th June 2025, the Club has continued to grow, and there has been increased attendance in all sessions.

Competition success and impressive results continued with both the General Gymnastics and Womens Artistic Squads continued to have medal success at local, county and regional competitions. Squad numbers in both disciplines remain at capacity.

Within the year, 1 trainee staff member passed their Level 1 coaching exam; 4 staff members completed their Level 2 qualification; 1 staff member passed their Level 3 Theory Modules, and 3 staff members passed their preschool qualification.

The Club employed its first Apprentice who has enrolled on the L4 Sports Coach Apprenticeship.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Income for the year end totalled £684,831 (2024: £625,619) and expenditure totalled £636,704 (2024: £595,408).

The charity made an overall surplus of £48,127 (2024: surplus of £30,211) for the year.

Reserves policy

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 between three and six month's expenditure. This equates to a maximum figure of £320,000.

The Trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. Current free reserves stand at £342,499 which equates to over 6 months, so reserves are in line with the reserves policy.

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the company is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

FUTURE PLANS

As the Club has continued to experience growth in all sessions over the last year, the plan for the next financial year is to continue to focus and review current practise in order to ensure continued growth and retention.

In order to do this the plan is:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WICKERS GYMNASTICS LTD

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wickers Gymnastics Ltd ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

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

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

Independent examiner's statement

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

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

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

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

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

Income

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

Gymnastic fees and sponsorships:

Fees income is raised in advance of sessions and is recognised upon the raising of the invoice. Sponsorship is recognised once the charity has been notified of the income, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.

Government grants:

Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Donations and gift aid:

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.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes irrecoverable VAT.
