## **Inspire Plus Trustees Report for the year ended 31 August 2020** 

The Trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## **Chair’s report** 

I’m really proud of the achievements that the charity has been able to make in what has been a challenging year for us all with Covid-19 bringing national lockdowns and restrictions from early 2020. Inspire+ has not wavered from its goal of supporting children be more active, happier and healthier and not let this pandemic be an excuse for failing in our mission, quite the contrary which I hope you agree when you read the impact report. 

As always, we have so many programmes and initiatives provided to schools by the charity that I simply do not have the space to list them all in my report, but here are a few that the board and I wish to acknowledge. 

During the first lockdown which saw the schools close to most children the charity were quick to think on their feet and adapt their delivery to ensure that all children were as active as possible regardless of whether they were in school as a result of parents being key workers or at home.  This was achieved through our very creative online resources and on many occasions live streaming activities that not only got the children more active but focussed on their wellbeing.  The charity was recognised at the 2020 Active Lincolnshire Sport & Physical Activity Awards winning the social media influencer award. 

We delivered 31 continuous professional development courses aimed at school staff and volunteers and had nearly 350 registered to attend. 

We proudly became an FA girls football hub and look forward to developing further this exciting programme aimed at embedding girls football opportunities and striving to support the FAs vision of giving every girl the opportunity to play football by 2024. 

We were very proud to work in two elderly care homes providing inclusive sports that encouraged participants to be active and engage socially with others. 

Our apprenticeship offer has expanded.  We have become one of the largest providers of the PE and School Sport Apprenticeship programme which continues to grow and have now expanded delivery further into Norfolk.  Our pass rates continue to be way above national average and related destinations continue to be impressive with apprentices securing jobs at their school or other schools or continuing their education and securing places at university, with many aspiring to become teachers and others landing related jobs at sports providers.  We have created a new apprenticeship aimed at wraparound care in both schools and nurseries and are also offering the Community Sport & Health Officer apprenticeship of which many of our staff have been able to benefit from! 

We continue to diversify our services and initiatives effectively but continue to meet the charity’s objectives to advance education, particularly through PE and physical recreation for the benefit of young people under the age of 25 throughout England and Wales and in particular the county of Lincolnshire. We continue to be impressed with the inspire+ staff who really are making a huge difference to young people’s lives through their dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The charity’s objectives are to advance education, particularly through PE and physical recreation to the benefit of young people under the age of 25 throughout England and Wales and in particular in the county of Lincolnshire. 

## Purpose and Aims 

Our charity’s purpose as set out in our memorandum of association is; 

- To advance education, particularly through sport and physical recreation for the benefit of young people under the age of 25 through England and Wales and in particular the county of Lincolnshire. 

The aims of our charity are achieved throughout supporting their Physical Activity, Well Being, Education and Community opportunities. 

## Ensuring our work supports our aims 

We review our aims, objectives and activities each year in consultation with young people, schools, staff, trustees and partners.  Our objectives have recently been refined due to extensive consultation and are now: 

- Supporting High Quality PE & School Sport provision in schools 

- To ensure young people meet recommended physical activity levels 

- To commit to work with partners for the ‘broader’ wellbeing of young people 

- Engage & equip the next generation of leaders/volunteers 

- Sustainable High-Quality provision regardless of government funding 

## Who used and benefited from our services? 

We worked with around 100 primary, secondary and SEN schools.  A high concentration of the schools were located in South Kesteven.  Others were in Lincolnshire, Peterborough, Grimsby, and around the Vale of Belvoir area. 

It is a conservative estimate that 15,500 young people accessed at least one of our services or initiatives during the academic year.

## How our services deliver public benefit? 

Our main activities currently are delivered to young people through the support and services we provide schools. 

## Public Benefit 

In setting objectives and planning activities, the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commissions general guidance on public benefit and confirm that they have complied with their duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 in ensuring that the Charity fulfils both the “benefit aspect” and “public aspect” required. This is evidenced by the attached report.

> Olympics pandemic, the Mini Olympics always goes ahead! This year, the 13[th] inspire+ Mini Olympics was delivered virtually via the website and our social media channels. With the help of all of our staff and coaches, we were able to provide one of our best Mini Olympics ever! 

This was the first time that the event was made available to all, with all content made accessible for an entire week on our website. It was an incredible success and we were staggered by the response from everyone. 

Our team and our young ambassador steering group created videos for our standout Olympic and Paralympic stations, alongside our ambassadors who contributed their own videos of good luck and encouragement. 

We hope we achieved a new milestone this year, allowing everyone to take part and enjoy their own Mini Olympics experience, at school or at home!

Pupil Feedback from previous years suggested that 100% of pupils enjoyed themselves on the trip and mentioned things like: _“It made me feel more confident.” “It helped me to make new friends I will go to school with and made me less worried about going as I know more people.” “This is the best place ever and I love it!”_

> Playground Following the successful 

> Leaders introduction of in-school training, the charity continued to offer training to all member schools. 

Schools receive 6x1 or 3x2 hour training sessions with their chosen group of pupils. Pupils get themselves a Playground Leader Training booklet to fill out during the course. This training can also incorporate working with the school’s teaching assistants, PE apprentices and midday, lunchtime supervisors. 

At the end of the training the pupils get rewarded with a certificate and a Playground Leader Training cap. After they complete the course, they will be able to deliver new fun activities for other pupils during playtimes and lunchtimes. 

The tutor of the course will give the school an option in coming into the school to deliver an assembly on Playground Leader Training, as well by presenting the certificates and caps to the trained leaders. 

All the schools that have accessed the Playground Leader Training in 2019/20 have gone down well. With all the pupils who completed the training passed the course. They are now leading playground games in their schools for children through fun, active and exciting activities. 

Last year, the impact on the pupils who completed the training - increased their knowledge, confidence and enjoyment were 175%. This year, the impact on pupils who did the training have **increased** to an incredible 225%! A fantastic 50% increase from last years (2018/19) impact.

Feedback from parents: 

_“The set up and staff have again been wonderful. Matthew has thoroughly enjoyed this last week and always wanted to come. It was also lovely to hear that those that met Matthew last year have seen a difference in his behaviour since we have now got a better control of his ADHD.”_ 

_“My daughter aged 5 really enjoys her time here during the holidays, always excited to go, staff are always a pleasure - nothing is_

impact in their schools and local community. By working very closely with the local School Games Organisers, we are able to provide these leaders with great opportunities to positively impact sports within their schools and the local community. 

We coordinate and run National Governing Body sports courses, which will help introduce them to those sports and enable them to coach, officiate and lead a group in that chosen sport. 

Throughout the year we offer a wide range of volunteering opportunities for the leaders to assist and play a part in, these include local school festivals, inspire+ sports camps, local sports clubs’ programmes and other community events. 

and community events across the year. These community events included the Downtown Christmas Extravaganza, Swimarathon and the Santa fun run amongst others. 

During the October half term, all year 9 students were trained in safeguarding, hockey, indoor athletics, badminton and inclusive sports as the start of their journey. Some have since undertaken cheerleader training. 

Throughout February half term, 13 of our sports leaders completed the level 1 Sports Leader Qualification course. Learning the key leadership skills in order to complete the course and deliver effective sessions to young children 

Below are some quotes from some of our leaders-

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## Principal funding sources 

The majority of our funding has been generated through our school membership fees.  Currently primary schools receive Sport Premium funding from Government and the majority will use a proportion of this to fund their membership.  The charity’s services support schools meet targets set out by the Sport Premium programme.  Another significant funding stream has been through delivering the PE and School Sport Apprenticeship programme.  Payments are made by our two FE partners Boston College and New College Stamford.  The charity has also raised revenue through our specialist coach programme and our holiday sports provision.  The charity continues to receive a relatively small amount of funding from a local Grantham business which is gratefully received.  The company also support the charity with its HR and Payroll functions. 

## Policy on reserves 

To ensure the medium to long term future of the charity the trustees recognise the need to hold reserves to allow for protection of our activities, of which the charity has pledged to continue regardless of if schools are in receipt of Government funding or not and to promote balanced, long term strategic planning.  Trustees have carried out an extensive risk analysis and feel currently there is currently sufficient level of risk associated with future funding, notably Sport Premium that warrants approximately 24 months of expenditure as unrestricted funds, within the general reserves. The funds of the Charity at the year-end are £594,887 (2019: £476,520) which amounted to almost 108.5% of the expenditure in the period. All funds held by the Charity at the year-end are unrestricted. 

## Financial results 

Overall income for the year amounted to £666,468 (2019 : £664,308) with an expenditure for the period of £548,101  (2019: £527,895). Net assets of the charity amounted to £594,887 (2019: 476,520) as at 31 August 2020. 

## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** 

The charity will continue to expand its apprenticeship programme and anticipates growing both numbers of schools and locations it will be delivered to.  In light of future funding streams being put into question over the uncertainty of Brexit the charity is looking to diversify its income streams further; extension of our holiday sports programme and offering wrap around care in schools are two services that will be offered directly to parents.  We will continue to be mindful of the charity’s aims when deciding future services.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Inspire Plus (Registered Company Number: 07778125)** 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2020 set out on pages 1 to 45. 

## Responsibilities and basis of report 

As the charity 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 company’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 

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 that in any material respect: 

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.
