## **Inspire Plus Trustees Report for the year ended 31 August 2021** 

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 2021. 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** 

With a background running my own successful manufacturing business and having served as a trustee now for more than 4 years, I’m proud and honoured to become the Chair of this wonderful charity.  I would like to pay tribute here to the charity’s previous Chair David Price, who held the role for 10 years.  He should feel very proud of what this charity has achieved during his stewardship, and I’m delighted that David has agreed to remain on the board as a trusted friend and adviser to us all. I would also like to pay my respects to Bob Adams who passed on the 15[th] November.  Bob served on the inspire+ board for many years and he will be missed by us all. 

This year the charity reached the huge milestone of ten years’ service to the local community. Everyone associated with inspire+ should be proud of this achievement and the positive impact we’ve had on thousands of young people.  To mark this anniversary, Sarah Outen MBE and Charity Ambassador wrote a book titled ‘The Great Big Book of Adventure’ that involved all our member schools contributing a chapter through their ‘mini Authors’. An innovative and adventurous project and fitting addition to Sarah’s wonderful legacy. 

As always, we are always extremely appreciative of our Ambassadors Sam Ruddock, Sophie Devonish, Sarah Outen and Jonathon Broom-Edwards and the inspirational work they do in schools, the latter becoming gold medallist at the Tokyo Paralympics! Jonathan is now proudly sharing his prized possession with the children during his school visits. 

We are all proud of our Move and Food holiday programme that supports children to be active and have a nutritious hot meal. We are pleased that we have been able to access Holiday Activity Food funding through Lincolnshire County Council that has enabled us to reach more children. 

Our apprenticeship programmes enjoyed another hugely successful year which saw over 90 apprentices complete and work towards their level 2 and level 3 Community Activator and Community Health Sport and Health Officer apprenticeships. The challenges that came with lockdown enabled our apprentices to support schools and pupils through this difficult time throughout the East of England.  Many of our apprentices have been employed by their schools and are subsequently moving onto higher apprenticeships to meet their career goals. 

Lastly it should also be noted the important work that our CEO is undertaking nationally.  Having co-founded Schools Active Movement in 2020 this organisation is supporting over 200 not-for-profit organisations across the country working with 12,500 schools and 3.25 million children.  Schools Active Movement is ensuring good practice is shared across the country and representing members' views and opinions for the benefit of young people.

To ensure the long term commercial and financial security of the charity we continue to diversify our services and initiatives effectively. These activities 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. 

Everyone at this charity is doing their utmost to ensure young people are Healthier, Happier and more Active and it was nice to be recognised again at the Grantham Business Awards. I hope in reading our annual report, you agree that we are making a huge contribution to achieving this outcome.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The charity’s objectives as set out in its governing document are to advance education, particularly through sport 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. 

The aims of our charity ensuring that young people are Healthy, Happy and Active. 

## 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 and 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, Norfolk and around the Vale of Belvoir area. 

We supported around 75 learners through our PE, Sport & Wellbeing and Community Sport & Health apprenticeships who were predominantly employed in schools and some businesses working in education. 

We supported families in South Kesteven through our holiday sports and activity provision. 

## 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.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## Principal funding sources 

The majority of our funding has been generated through our school membership fees and our apprenticeship programmes. 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 PE and Sport Premium funding grant. Another significant funding stream has been through delivering the PE, School Sport & Wellbeing and Community Sport & Health apprenticeships. Payments are made by our FE partner Inspire Education Group. The charity has also raised revenue through our specialist coach programme and our holiday provision of which the later was predominately funded through Holiday Activity Food, a national programme administered through the county council. 

## 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 currently feel there is still 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 reserves at the year end were £833,318 representing just short of 19 months of expenditure. 

## Financial results 

Overall income for the year amounted to £798,682 (2020: £666,468) with an expenditure for the period of £560,251 (2020: £548,101). Net assets of the charity amounted to £833,318 (2020: £594,887) as at 31 August 2021. 

## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** 

The charity will continue to expand its apprenticeship programme through the introduction of a further apprenticeship course to complement the two that we currently deliver.  This will be the level 4 ‘Sports Coach’. 

We will also continue to diversify our income streams.  The charity secured funds through Lincolnshire County Council to delivery holiday provision funded through Holiday Activity Food funding.  This national funding has been confirmed for three years and will allow the charity to expand this provision into further areas and increase the age range of participants in partnership with the council. 

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 2021 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.
