BOURNE OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation for the year ended 31 October 2024. 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

The objectives of the CIO are to provide swimming and associated facilities for the benefit of the inhabitants of Bourne and the surrounding area.

Public benefit reporting

When reviewing the CIO's objectives and activities, and in planning future activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The CIO continued to provide swimming facilities throughout the 2024 season. In addition to the main 50 yard heated pool, the CIO provides a toddlers pool, fountain pool, extended lawns with seating and picnic tables and a toddlers play area.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The detailed statement of financial activities showed that during the period of the financial statements, the CIO had a surplus of income over expenditure of £15,222 (2023: deficit of £6,233).

Income from pool activities in 2024 increased. This was because in the previous year the UK had recorded one of the wettest summers on record. Total income was £116,912 (2023: £84,298). Most notably general admissions totalled £74,643 (2023: £59,826) being a 25% increase on the previous year. This increase reflects the warmer drier weather.

During the year donations of £5,764 (2023: £4,417) were received. All donations received were unrestricted being available for use in accordance with the charity's objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

The grant of £15,000 from the Len Pick Trust was designated for the renovation of the building and the canopy.

The cost of resources expended totalled £101,690 (2023 : £90,531). The main items of expenditure were light and heat £19,089 (2023 : £18,530), wages £23,570 (2023 : £24,982) and repairs and maintenance which totalled £14,449 (2023 : 11,929) with the most significant items being £8,492 for works to the pool.

RESERVES POLICY

The trustees are aware that they need to maintain unrestricted free reserves at a level to provide sufficient funds to cover operating expenditure. The trustees consider that the CIO should maintain between three and six months of unrestricted free reserves. The current unrestricted free reserves of £185,061 (2023 : £182,439) are more than sufficient to comply with this policy.

FUTURE PLANS

The pool will reopen for the 2025 season shortly. The trustees thank all volunteers who have helped to get the pool ready for reopening. The trustees hope for another hot summer to ensure high pool usage to generate high levels of income.

Whilst at present there are sufficient funds to secure the medium term future of the pool, unless attendances are maintained in the coming seasons at a satisfactory level, the longer term future of the pool will need to be carefully considered.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is governed by a constitution document dated 26 July 2018.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The trustees may appoint a person who is willing to serve as a trustee on such terms as they may agree from time to time.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BOURNE OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Bourne Outdoor Swimming Pool

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Bourne Outdoor Swimming Pool (the Trust) for the year ended 31 October 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Bourne Outdoor Swimming Pool is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation whose principal office is in England.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the CIO, 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 Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the CIO's accounting policies, management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

There are no critical accounting judgements or estimation uncertainty that, in the opinion of the trustees, will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

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.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Improvements to property - Straight line over 20 years Equipment - 20% on reducing balance and 10% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are held at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to complete and sell, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from 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 CIO. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Debtors

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amount.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Creditors

Creditors are measured at their settlement amount or in the case of provision for liabilities the best estimate of their settlement amount.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and any conditions attached will be complied with. Grants are recognised as income over the period necessary to match them with related costs or lost income, for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis.

Financial instruments

The charity has chosen to adopt the Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments.

Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price.

Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publically traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
