Social Impact and Public Benefit

Achieve Lifestyle held a Free Community Day during the August Bank Holiday Monday, the purpose was to encourage activities in the community, this included a 5 a side tournament, fun day activities and social bbq. The event was attended by the local community as well as other charity stall holders.

The local demographics have high numbers of young families, and the programming has activities to help meet their needs and demands, such as; Baby Yoga, Preschool swimming, junior sports courses, parent and toddler sessions.

The learn to swim programme continues to increase in numbers year on year, additional school bookings have increased, noting that the national curriculum requires children 11 years and over to be able to swim 25m. Egham Orbit is helping deliver on achieving this life skill to the local community.

The GP referral and Healthy Living programmes have significantly developed into the “Get Active - Stay Active” programme. This commences with support sessions led by specialist instructors through to a graduation by the participant into self-choice social sports clubs and activities. The key purpose is of helping individuals become more independent, by providing initial support through to improving their health to enjoy other leisure and social pursuits.

Partnership work continues with the NHS through Ashford & St Peters Hospital Trust, for physiotherapy rehabilitation, as Egham Orbit has become a “physio hub in the community” venue, this has included the addition of Junior Physiotherapy (in the pool).

Other specialist pool sessions offered include Aquaphobia for individuals with a water fear. The spa has seen a significant uptake in therapy wellness treatments for individuals with varying conditions such as long Covid, depression, anxiety and cancer. The treatments are delivered by a team of trained staff and bespoke range of therapy products.

Community Impact- Health & Wellbeing

Despite the challenges faced by the post pandemic recovery which had a huge impact on leisure and sports facilities, the trust continued its recovery;

• Membership numbers continue to rise in line with recovery predictions at Egham Orbit.

• Social values were realised with enhancements to the pricing structure, in getting hard to reach and low income families back into or becoming involved in community health and wellbeing activities and to assist in helping to meet community affordability.

• Supporting Ukrainian refugees with free and discounted facility access, and offering a social hub for displaced families.

Young People

• Swim lessons continue to increase, and demand is yet to be satisfied, as there are waiting lists for swimming lessons to levels higher than pre pandemic.

• The increasing number of young people participating in sport and wellbeing activities continues to rise, especially in the gym and fitness sector.

• Supporting the local swim clubs, groups and associations with subsidised pool hire charges.

Trustees' Report

Disability

• Providing discounted access to facilities for target groups and organisations to allow them to thrive, including weekly sessions by Egham Constellations disability swim club and the Dramatize disability school as well as other disability bookings.

• Providing accessible swimming sessions during all open hours through regular pool programming, specialist equipment, and promoting a culture of inclusion.

Corporate responsibility

The development of being environmentally sustainable is a priority in our undertakings, in doing so our commitment is demonstrated through our Environmental Policy which states;

• Generate and harvest Photo Voltaic energy from roof solar panels at Egham Orbit, for consumption need.

• Seek energy improvements and efficiencies where practical, financially prudent and achievable, this includes making use of technology e.g. all lights are LED, heating and ventilation systems are on timers.

• Minimise waste by implementing green initiatives such as “keep cup” discounts in our food and beverage offerings as well as provide further education to staff and customers on the benefits of minimising waste.

• Develop further training and information programmes for staff to raise awareness of environmental issues and enlist their support in improving sustainability standards.

• Encourage the use of suppliers and contractors who have adopted sound environmental solutions to reduce their own impact on the environment.

• Continue to work with local suppliers to help reduce travel times and carbon emissions, by actively supporting local suppliers and contractors.

• Seeking local council support to enhance a local bus route to assist in travel choices for Egham Orbit.

Financial review

Results are for the year ended 31 March 2023

The main funds are raised from the general public in exchange for taking part in health, wellbeing and sports and leisure services.

Income for the year ended 31 March 2023 was £3,274,503 and total expenditure for the year was £2,827,597.

Trustees' Report

Policy on reserves

Trustees regularly review Achieve Lifestyle’s Reserves Policy, Trustees have approved a Reserves Policy in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The purposes of these reserves is to safeguard both against significant loss in income and any unforeseen adverse circumstances to facilitate the continuance of the deliverance of the charitable company’s stated objective.

Achieve Lifestyle’s reserves policy is to have free reserves before FRS 102 adjustments. The Trustees policy is, taking into account the charity's financial circumstances and other relevant factors, to rebuild reserves to a level that facilitates the Company's resilience and capacity to manage unforeseen financial difficulties.

Free reserves of the charity, after pension reserves, amounted to £916,124 at the year-end. This is, as to be expected, significantly different than previous years due to the impact of the pandemic, which saw continued expenditure and limited opportunities to generate income outside of lockdowns.

Post Pandemic, the anticipation is that there will be a rebuild in recovery of the reserves fund to a much higher level, to protect the business for future shocks. This will take a number of years, and will affect business decisions ensuring that the rebuilding of reserves is a priority for the business.

There is a fund set up to build the reserves, with monthly contributions for unforeseen capital maintenance requirements. This fund will be increased in line with affordability, with the target of obtaining a reserve fund of 6 months operational expenditure as soon as practically possible.

Investment policy and objectives

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 reserves, to gain interest.

The current priority is to ensure that any surplus cash is available at short notice to provide short term liquidity and protect the business from unplanned post Covid challenges.

Trustees' Report

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud, error and non-compliance with relevant statutory regulations.

The Financial, Compliance and Human Resource Sub Committee of Trustees meets quarterly and has an annual schedule of statutory governance checks to ensure compliance is maintained and achieved, this includes a review of company policies, procedures and activities to ensure that the Trust meets their legal and statutory obligations thus minimising risk to which the charity is exposed.

Procedures are also in place to comply with health and safety legislation; this includes a Health and Safety Policy. There is also external support from a specialist health and safety consultancy which includes meetings with the nominated health and safety lead staff. The purpose of the meeting is to review all systems and safe working practices, including risk assessments, fire safety and support for ensuring a safe and consistent approach is undertaken for insurance purposes.

Due to the pandemic and the current recovery phase unrealistic rents being charged by the land lord and their acknowledgement of this, after a period of lengthy negotiation, the lease of Achieve Zone was surrendered, with no further liability of the lease, and the impact has been increased financial stability for Achieve Lifestyle.

Whilst unlikely as the recovery phase is going as well as planned, and that no further national lockdowns occur, it is anticipated that whilst there is no certainty, there is a small risk insofar as membership levels returning to pre pandemic levels.

The major risks to which the Trust could be exposed to have been reviewed and actions are undertaken to help mitigate these risks.

The key risk regards rent, and discussions taken place with the Trust’s landlord (Runnymede Borough Council) in regards to a rent review.

The trust is keen to agree new rental terms with the landlord and have an agreement in place to repay agreed back rent that has not been able to be paid due to the effects of the pandemic.

In terms of other risks, management systems continue to be established with remedial actions being taken, to help minimise or alleviate any risk where possible, in the pursuit of a stable financial position.

The trust is not exposed to currency risk and has minimal exposure to interest rate risk, price risk or market risk.

Going concern

An agreement with the landlord (Runnymede Borough Council) on rents payable to March 2024 has been agreed and is being upheld, a further review has been agreed to commence in early 2024 for the longer term, this is to assist in achieving realistic rents in the current market environment as well as ensure there is provision for supporting the council in their health and wellbeing targets.

In January 2022 a Partnership Forum was set up with the trust and the landlord (Runnymede Borough Council), the purpose of the Partnership Forum is to ensure that best value is derived from the relationship for both parties, both in financial terms and in community and social value. The meetings take place quarterly, and the council have indicated strongly their desire to support the trust in developing the Egham campus as a destination venue with mutual benefit.

There are ongoing reviews for action of two key expenditure items;

  1. Utilities - Securing the best options for utilities contracts.

  2. Employee Costs - There continues to be a dynamic staffing structure, to ensure job roles match customer demand and that the organisation is fit for purpose.

  3. Reviewing all contractual agreements regularly with suppliers, and phased payment agreements where possible to aid cash flow.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Achieve Lifestyle

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Achieve Lifestyle (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprise the and , including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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.

Material uncertainty in relation to going concern

We draw attention to Note 25 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company incurred a net income, before other recognised gains and losses, of £446,906 during the year ended 31 March 2023 and, as of that date, the company’s current liabilities exceeded its total assets by £716,591. As stated in Note 25 these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 25 indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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.

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.

Page 16

Achieve Lifestyle

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Achieve Lifestyle

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.

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:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities (set out on page 15), the trustees 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor 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 these financial statements.

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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Page 17

Achieve Lifestyle

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Achieve Lifestyle

In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, we have obtained an understanding of the nature of the industry, the control environment and the legal and regulatory frameworks that the charitable company operates in.

We determined that the most significant applicable legal and regulatory frameworks are those directly relevant to the reporting framework and preparation of the financial statements (FRS 102, Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation). We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements.

We determined the principal risks which could lead to material misstatement of the financial statements to be related to posting inappropriate journal entries and management bias in accounting estimates. We identified the most significant risks in respect of accounting estimates to be the actuarial assumptions used in determining the defined benefit pension liability, and the determination of depreciation policies.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

The engagement team also remained aware of the need for professional scepticism to identify any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. 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.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Achieve Lifestyle

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, 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 charity's trustees 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 charitable company and its trustees 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 2023

1 Charity status

Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation, registered number 07451733 and charity number 1141018.

The address of its registered office is: Egham Orbit Vicarage Road Egham Surrey TW20 8NL

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

Achieve Lifestyle 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 notes.

These financial statements cover the individual charity and are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity, and are rounded to the nearest £.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. For further details see note 25.

Page 25

Achieve Lifestyle

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Judgements

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions which affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Pension benefits: The cost of defined benefit pension plans are determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates and retail price inflation. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and the long term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty. In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates of high quality corporate bonds. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific country. Future salary increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective country. For further details, including the carrying amount at the end of the reporting period, see note 19.

Useful economic lives of tangible assets: The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. These are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on economic utilisation and physical condition of the assets.

Income and endowments

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

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Investment income

Interest received on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Charitable activities

The considerable majority of income relates to gym membership and leisure services. Membership income received in advance is deferred on a straight line basis over the contract term. Income from the hire and use of leisure facilities is recognised at the time of use. Retail income is recognised at the point of sale.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, rent allocated on the estimated floor area occupied by an activity and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other direct and support costs are allocated on a reasonable basis with consideration of the usage of the resource for each activity,

Page 26

Achieve Lifestyle

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Raising funds

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Taxation

The charity 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 charity 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.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate
Long-term leasehold property Over the lease term
Plant & machinery 5 years straight line
Fixtures & fittings 3 years straight line
Gym & studio equipment 7 years straight line

Stock

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO).

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Page 27

Achieve Lifestyle

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

The charity holds cash and bank deposits only. They do not hold other short-term highly liquid investments.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the charity will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Hire purchase and finance leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Assets held under finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet as tangible fixed assets and are recognised at the lower of their fair value at inception of the lease and the present value of the minimum lease payments. These assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. The capital elements of future obligations under the leases are included as liabilities in the balance sheet. Lease payments are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities and are apportioned between finance costs and the reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability

The interest element of the rental obligation is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the lease and represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.

The charity also operates a defined benefit pension scheme. A full actuarial valuation is undertaken at least every three years to determine whether the Statutory Funding Objective is met. The most recent full actuarial valuation was carried out as at 31 March 2022. See note 19 for further details.

The charity contributes to the Surrey Pension Fund with the Local Government Pension Scheme ('LGPS'), a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme, on behalf of certain employees whose employment was transferred from Runnymede Borough Council as part of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. The LGPS is a funded defined benefit scheme, and is contracted out of the State Earnings-Related Pension Scheme. The Assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company, in separate trustee-administered funds.

Pension scheme assets are measured at fair value and liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method and discounted at a rate equivalent to the current rate of return on a high quality corporate bond of equivalent term and currency to the liabilities. The actuarial valuations are obtained at least triennially and are updated at each balance sheet date. The amounts charged to operating surplus are the current service costs and gains and losses on the settlements and curtailments. They are included as part of staff costs. Past service costs are recognised immediately in the Statement of Financial Activities if the benefits have vested. If the benefits have not vested immediately, the costs are recognised over the period vesting occurs. The expected return on assets and the interest cost are shown as net finance amount of the finance costs or credits adjacent to interest. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in other gains and losses.

Pension costs are allocated to charitable activities in line with the cost centres of staff members.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense in profit or loss immediately when the charity is committed by legislation, by contractual or other agreements or by a constructive obligation to make payments (or provide other benefits) to employees when it terminates their employment.

Termination benefits are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure that would be required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

Page 29

Achieve Lifestyle

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Financial instruments

Classification

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Recognition and measurement

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.

Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

In November 2022, an agreement was reached with the landlord to agree a reduced, more sustainable, annual rental charge for the Egham Orbit site for the period 1st April 2023 - 31st March 2024. This agreement meant that the rent has been discounted to £300,000 for years 4 and 5. The discounted rent period represents a lease incentive under FRS 102 and has been spread over the lease term.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Restricted sinking funds were set aside in 2011 by Runnymede Borough Council for the benefit of the facilities as part of the original agreement transferring the services of operating these facilities to the Company. These funds were originally restricted to support the repair or replacement of equipment associated with the artificial football pitches at Egham Leisure Centre.

During 2017, Runnymede Borough Council authorised payment of these funds to the Company, for the purpose of funding the development of the 4G Pitch at Egham Orbit and improvements to car parking.

During the year ended 31 March 2023, no expenditure was incurred from restricted funds.

25 Going concern

The Charity has been profit-making in the year, generating an operating profit of £446,906 (2022 loss: £287,478). However it remains in a net liability position at the balance sheet date. The performance and financial position are primarily the result of the Covid-19 pandemic which led to three national lockdowns, significantly reducing income for 2022 and 2021.

Combined with this are significant fixed costs, primarily being the site rental at Egham Orbit - see Note 18 of the financial statements for further details. However, in November 2022 an agreement was reached with the landlord to agree a reduced, more sustainable, annual rental charge for the Egham Orbit site for the period 1st April 2023 – 31st March 2024.

Sites were able to reopen from April 2021. Since then, the charity has seen a significant increase in membership numbers, although recently the increase in the cost of living in the UK has caused the growth in membership numbers to stagnate but significantly they have not dropped.

After reviewing the Charity’s forecasts and projections and after agreeing a reduced rental charge for the Egham Orbit site, the Trustees’ have reasonable expectations that the Charity has adequate resources to continue to operate and generate income levels sufficient to meets its liabilities as they fall due. As such, the Trustees have concluded that the Charity is a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees considered this to be an appropriate basis, despite the inherent material uncertainties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the increase in the cost of living in the UK, based on the information available to them at the signing date.
