## **YORK CITY GYMNASTICS FOUNDATION** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE'S RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' report and financial  statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102:  The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period.  In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- (a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- (b) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- (c) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- (d) state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- (e) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with  the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2022** 

The trustees present their annual report and the financial statements of the charity for the 12 month period ended 31st August 2022. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's accounting policies and the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and 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). 

## 1. Structure, Governance and Management 

The trustees are responsible for setting the objectives and priorities for York City Gymnastics Foundation, the day to day running is overseen by the trustees. The trustees are elected as required by current trustees. 

## 2. Objectives and Activities 

To provide facilities for recreation and other leisure-time occupations (in particular laying out, managing, equipping and maintaining facilities for gymnastics) in the interests of social welfare with the aim of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants of York and it's environs and North Yorkshire. The area of benefit is to advance education (including physical education) through the provision of gymnastics and gymnastics related activities. We aim to relieve those in need in particular those caring for people with mental and/or physical disabilities by providing facilities which enable them to participate in gymnastic related activities. 

When planning the activities for the year, the trustees have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit. 

## 3. Achievements and Performance 

Like many charities the foundation has been affected by the Pandemic which resulted in the gymnasium being closed down during nationwide lockdowns. We are please to report that the organisation has successfully navigated these difficult times and is now seeing demand return to prepandemic levels. This has seen our finances recover, though challenges still remain in light of the cost of living crisis that is affecting many of our beneficiaries.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF YORK CITY GYMNASTICS FOUNDATION** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st August 2022 which are set out on pages 6 to 14. 

## Responsibilities and Basis of Report 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable 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 can 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: (a)     accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

(b)     the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

(c)     the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.
