WIRKSWORTH SWIMMING POOL

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 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 March 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

Purposes and Aims

Our charity's purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company's memorandum and articles of association are to promote community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the public inhabiting Wirksworth and surrounding areas by the provision of facilities for swimming and other water-based activities.

Ensuring our work delivers our aims

We will review our aims, objectives and activities each year. We will then adjust the direction we take based on the success of each activity and the benefit it has brought to the community. It is our intention to both maintain our current offer and to extend and enhance. We referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when we set out our aims, objectives and activities for the year.

The Trustees took over the running of the pool from Derbyshire Dales District Council 10 years ago.

The Financial Year 2020/21 has been exceedingly challenging for the pool, as it has been for so many people and organisations, due to the COVID-19 restrictions. The pool was closed for many months with all the staff furloughed. Without the furlough scheme the consequences of this would have been catastrophic. The Trustees decided to top-up staff to pay to 100% whilst they could afford to do so and they are incredibly grateful for the loyalty the staff showed during this difficult period. When the pool was allowed tore-open, restrictions remained and classes were limited to around 6 students by social distancing rules. Whilst this again restricted the income, we were buoyed by the loyalty of our customers in returning in high numbers and showing confidence in the staff and organisation. The Trustees and Manager have implemented safety regulations throughout the period, to the overwhelming satisfaction of customers. During closure, it was possible to make some improvements to the internal decoration of the pool using some grants received.

As the pool begins to return to normality, staff training remains a priority, both to ensure the safety of our customers and to ensure the quality of the teaching. The Trustees remain committed to our delivery model of teaching from within the pool rather than the side and to have two teachers in each group. Feedback from customers is overwhelmingly positive and we have very few changes in staffing. Fund raising has been almost impossible due to the pandemic, but a number of individual donations have been received which the Trustees are particularly grateful for these as they have been vital to the viability of the pool.

How our activities deliver public benefit

The pool is small being 5m by 10m and 1.1m deep. The main current users are children learning to swim aged from birth to 11. The aim is that by the time the children are ready to progress to a bigger pool they are competent swimmers. The pool is also used for aqua fit/aqua dance classes which are attended by people aged from 16 to 85 enabling them to keep healthy and active. Pool parties have been suspended die to the pandemic as have free swimming sessions. During school term time local schools attend the pool for swimming lessons. The pool is also suitable for swimmers with sensory disabilities and hosts a regular group of children and young adults with autism. We continue to seek to further develop opportunities for disabled groups and have fully accessible changing and toilet facilities.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

In recent years, the pool has received small donations from people who have bought cakes, made and sold Easter chicks, attended bingo nights, purchased raffle tickets and bought plants. The pool has had generous bequests including from the families of James Greenough, Nikki Phillips and our former and much missed Trustee Faith Borst. Support from other organisations in Wirksworth, some voluntary and other charities has been key. These include Open Gardens, Raise Your Voices, Dales Housing, The Community Quiz and a legacy from Barry Foster, Peter Slack from plant and tree sales, Wirksworth Town Council and Derbyshire Dales District Council. Major grants have been received from Tarmac Lafarge, The Exton Trust and Sport England.

The largest donations and support has come from John and Sheila Kirkland. They have made substantial donations to the pool over a number of years. Sheila was a valued customer of the pool and when she very sadly passed away, she left a substantial bequest to the pool to be put towards our extension. When some of this had to be used on repairs, John has given further funding to make sure the plans stayed on track. They have also given us substantial and invaluable help with planning and building services through Bowmer and Kirkland and in particular through Graham Lee. The pool now trades under the name The Sheila Kirkland Community Pool, although the company name has not changed.

Investment policy and objectives

Trustees have plans for further improvements to the pool, particularly the replacement of the roof, but these will be reliant on further grants and continued fund raising.

Reserves policy

Currently our reserves are the balance of grants, donations and any operating surplus. As we become more established and our income increases it is our intention to establish a policy whereby the unrestricted funds, not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity, should be enough to cover between 3 and 6 months of the expenditure.

Going concern

The Trustees believe the charity is a going concern at the date of the signing of this report. However, should the government force the swimming pool to close, due to forever changing Coronavirus restrictions, without providing support, as provided during the previous lockdowns, then the charity would struggle to remain open for longer than three months.

FUTURE PLANS

The charity plans to continue its current activities in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements and introduce new activities to attract further members of the community.

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 6 January 2012 and registered as a charity on 27 March 2012. 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 £1.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The directors of the company are all volunteers who agreed to take over the swimming pool when Derbyshire Dales District Council decided to step down from running it. They are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law. A person ceases to be a company member on delivering written notice to the Registered Office or if he ceases to be a director.

All the directors of the company give their time voluntary and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 4 to the accounts.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WIRKSWORTH SWIMMING POOL

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wirksworth Swimming Pool ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.

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'). 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:

  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.
