ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

Opening hours and user numbers: in this, its fourteenth year of operation, the charity was able to sustain the regular number of sessions for the year and to organise a programme of events which generate additional income for the Skatepark as well as being popular with users and visitors.

Safety: the regular inspections of the park and equipment were continued and ongoing ramp maintenance and other repairs carried out. The annual ROSPA safety inspection was commissioned and the report again praised the park operators for their continuous improvements.

Users: the majority of users continued to be aged under 16 while the proportion of over 16 users has is currently 15%. The extended sessions - Bike Night on Wednesdays and Skate Night on Thursdays - plus stronger links with the local roller skating community have contributed to this. The space made available by the removal of the Vert ramp has recently been set up as an area to attract skateboarders.

The special sessions for under 12 year olds only (to encourage the new generation of young riders) continued on Saturday and Sunday mornings all year round (weather permitting). We also continue to welcome groups such as Young Carers and disability groups for special / supported sessions.

Events: we ceased to run roller discos through the summer months as numbers had declined, largely because of competition from the new Undercover Skatepark in the town centre. We continued to organise a number of special events including King of Concrete, scooter jams in partnership with Chilli Scooters and various special events such as a birthday bash and Halloween and Christmas specials.

We were again included within the Victorious Festival area for the three days of the August bank holiday weekend. This gives people an opportunity to take part in short roller disco sessions, have a go at various sports and watch the park display team perform.

Coaching: in small groups ran throughout the drier months and the coaching vouchers were still popular as birthday and Christmas gifts.

Out of Hours usage: the out-of-hours use of the park for children's parties and group hires reduced significantly this year again because of competition from the Undercover Skatepark which can guarantee to be open whatever the weather.

Equipment for hire: we increased the number of BMX bikes to our equipment available for hire in addition to the helmets, skateboards, skates and these all provide an opportunity for beginners.

Publicity and promotion: our website, facebook and Instagram pages were kept up to date, enabling staff to give users regular information on opening days and times and information on forthcoming events.

Rained-off tickets: the park is unsafe to ride or skate when wet; if rain starts during a session and the park has to close, users are given a 'rained-off ticket' which gives them entry to a future session at a reduced cost. We maintained this concession during the year.

The Café: which runs under a licence agreement by independent operators changed provider in the middle of the year. The new operator has refurbished the café unit and revamped the menu, with an emphasis on healthy eating and the use of recyclable materials.

The Shop: our wholly owned trading company operates the Skatepark shop and all trading profits are transferred to the charity to support the running of the skatepark. We sell bikes, spares, skates, boards, scooters, helmets and clothing, including our own brand items. The shop turnover has reduced this year, we believe because people - especially parents - have less money to spend.

Photoshoots: the park continued to be available during the year as a venue for photoshoots by skateboarders, BMX riders and others, student film makers and young fashion designers.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Staffing

There was some turnover of staff during the year, mainly as student members finished their courses at the university. The charity continued to ensure that all staff are first aid trained and DBS checked at enhanced level.

Future plans

Roof project - following the earlier rejection by the Planning department of the submitted plans to roof over the rink area, which would enable opening in wet weather and to provide new indoor space for education and activity rooms, a revised set of drawings were developed for re-submission to the local authority for pre-planning advice. The completed plans have been made available for public comment and the planning application submission will be made shortly.

Appreciation and thanks

This Annual Report gives the Board an opportunity to offer public thanks to the many people who have supported their work to date. Special thanks go to the following:

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial review

The trustees continue to keep expenditure under tight control whilst seeking to maximise income.

The day to day recording of income, the invoicing and the payment of bills is carried out on site by one of the trustees and all records are passed to an external bookkeeper who produces the monthly management accounts for the Board. The bookkeeper also prepares the books for the year end examination and production of accounts in the form required by Companies House and the Charity Commission. These accounts are on the following pages.

The skatepark is weather dependent because wet riding/skating surfaces are unsafe. The last two winters have been very wet and our number of lost days has been the highest of any year since we opened. This has resulted in an overall loss for the year and the trustees are currently developing a contingency plan against continuing losses. A strategy to promote additional use and activities plus sponsorship is being developed.

Reserves policy

The charity has an agreed Reserves Policy and following Charity Commission recommendations has allocated to the Reserves the equivalent of three months operational costs.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The Board are currently actively recruiting additional trustees to strengthen the skills and experience available.

Background

Following an unsuccessful attempt to put the skatepark out to tender in 2005/06, Portsmouth City Council proposed reducing the opening of the park to the summer months only. This was widely seen by the users and others as a step towards closure and provoked a vociferous campaign of objection. In response, the Leader of the Council threw out a challenge to the park's supporters to come up with a new body to take over the park operation.

A number of individuals came together, registered as a not-for-profit company and subsequently as a charity and negotiated the transfer of the park to the new charitable company on 1st April 2011. The Southsea Skatepark Company, working name Southsea Skatepark Trust, has a 60 year lease on the park at a peppercorn rent. Its first five years of operation were under a formal Agreement with the Council covering minimum hours of opening and various quality and safety issues in return for year on year reducing revenue funding from the Council. This Agreement expired and the funding ceased on 31st March 2016 since when the Trust has been wholly self-funding.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The Board regularly reviews the skills and experience required to operate efficiently and effectively and has put in place a process for the recruitment of additional trustees. Potential trustees are required to outline what they feel they can contribute at an informal interview with the Board. A trustee induction pack has been produced and training is made available.

Induction and training of new trustees

Potential trustees are asked to provide information on why they wish to become a trustee and what they feel they can bring to the Trust. They attend an interview with one or more trustees at which this is explored and at which they can ask any questions. If they are still interested and are deemed suitable they are given a Trustee Induction pack which outlines the responsibilities of trustees, a history of the park , copies of the constitution for the charity and the trading company. They are then invited to a Board meeting, after which their recruitment is confirmed.

Related parties

Southsea Skatepark Trading Ltd is the Trust's trading arm. The charity trustees are ex-officio the directors of the trading company and were the shareholders, shares being held in trust. On the advice of our accountants, the charity - as an incorporated body - was later made the shareholder.

Risk management

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 and error.

The trustees have in place the necessary policies and procedures for the operation of the skatepark and they meet monthly to oversee policy and finance matters, with the park manager in attendance as the professional advisor.

The dependence of the park upon the weather has been identified as a major risk to its long term sustainability and trustees are working on ways to address this.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SOUTHSEA SKATEPARK COMPANY LIMITED

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Southsea Skatepark Company Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 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').

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)).
