We received fantastic support, particularly for my child with additional needs. 

_Parent of a child who attended one of our holiday camps._ 




I think it is amazing that our children are being taught things such as cooking and first aid skills from such a young age by coming to the HAF camp. They are learning things they would not always learn in school and developing new skills.

I wish I could go to camp every day.

## **Inspire Plus (Registered number: 07778125)** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2025** 

## **Fundraising Standards Information** 

The charity does not carry out significant fund raising activities itself and does not use external participators to act on behalf of the charity. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

Overall income for the year amounted to £1,219,063 (2024: £1,357,951) with an expenditure for the period of £981,156 (2024: £1,037,875). Net current assets of the charity amounted to £1,785,824 (2024: £1,537,537) as at 31 August 2025. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The majority of our funding has been generated through our school membership fees, our apprenticeship programmes and Holiday and Activity Food programme. Currently primary schools receive PE & 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. Payments for apprenticeships are made by our FE partner Inspire Education Group. Our holiday provision was predominately funded through Holiday Activity Food (HAF), a national programme administered through Lincolnshire County Council. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

Inspire Plus seeks to produce the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk. 

The investment objective for the long-term reserves is to generate a return in excess of inflation over the long term whilst generating an income to support the on-going activities of the Charity. 

The investment objective for the short-term reserves is to preserve the capital value with a minimum level of risk. Assets should be readily available to meet unanticipated cash flow requirements. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

Total reserves held at the year end were £1,844,915, of which £52,764 were restricted funds. 

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 around PE & Sport Premium that warrants approximately 24 months of expenditure as unrestricted funds, within the general reserves. The unrestricted reserves at the year-end were £1,792,151 representing just short of 22 months of expenditure. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

We will also continue to diversify our income streams. The charity will seek to secure further contracts through Lincolnshire County Council to deliver the nationally funded Holiday Activity Food programme.  We will also seek further funding to enable us to deliver this programme during holiday periods the national funds do not cover.  We will look to provide further community programmes to engage more children and young people to support them being healthier, happier and active. The charity will continue to organise an annual Gala Dinner which purpose will be to engage local businesses and potential benefactors in order to secure further funds and support. 

We will continue to be mindful of the charity's aims of Healthy, Happy and more Active young people when developing future services. 

## **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 organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 19th September 2011 and registered as a charity on 2nd November 2011. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding ten pounds. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The directors of the company are charity trustees for the purpose of charity law. Should the existing Trustees consider it necessary to appoint further Trustees, they would ensure that adequate training was provided and that any candidate would have the required skills in management and planning. The Charity has trustee indemnity insurance in place, in line with the memorandum of articles. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The governing body is the board of trustees who are responsible for the administration and investment policy of the scheme. The Chief Executive, who is appointed by the trustees, manages the day to day operation under delegated authority.

New trustees are presented with an inspire+ induction pack that is now accessed via their trustee hub. This contains all relevant information published by the Charity Commission.

## **Key management remuneration** 

The trustees consider the role and responsibilities of key management personnel and review the remuneration package in line with similar charitable entities.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Inspire Plus for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 

Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and 

- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. 

## **AUDITORS** 

The auditors, Wright Vigar Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Inspire Plus** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Inspire Plus (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 August 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.  We are independent of the charitable company 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. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **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 Report of the Independent Auditors 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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. 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

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

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: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.

## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Inspire Plus** 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 charitable company'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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Our 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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. 

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

Our work is performed to include an assessment of the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement, including the risk of fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). 

In identifying and assessing risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: 

- We plan our work to gain an understanding of the significant laws and regulations that are of significance to the entity and the sector in which they operate. We perform our work to ensure that the entity is complying with its legal and regulatory framework. 

- We obtained an understanding of how the company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to the management and people charged with governance. 

We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- Substantive procedures performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). 

- Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates. 

- Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular material journal entries and an assessment of year end journals. 

- Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, 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 charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 the charitable company's members 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 August 2025** 

## **1. STATUTORY INFORMATION** 

Inspire Plus is a Charitable company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The charitable company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Report of the Trustees. 

The presentational currency of the charitable company is Sterling. 

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All incoming resources (including government grants) are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, when it is probable that the amount will be received and when the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

Donated goods and services are measured at the market value or cost that the gift would been to the charity. 

## Investment Income Recognition 

Investment income is recognised when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity. This is normally upon the notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. 

## **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. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Plant and machinery -  10% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings -  20% on cost 

Assets costing £250 or more will be capitalised. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charitable company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares. 

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the charitable company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
