## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** 

## **Response and Future Planning** 

In response to these factors, the CIO will: 

- Continue to develop and expand its staff and volunteer base to support delivery and growth

## **Financial review** 

## **Financial position** 

At the end of the reporting period, the charity held unrestricted reserves of £1,001,398 (2024: £959,925) 

The trustees are confident in the financial position of YCGF at the year end. The charity remains on a strong financial footing, with most classes operating at or near full capacity, providing a stable and reliable primary source of income. 

Despite ongoing pressures arising from increased staffing costs, these have been managed effectively, ensuring the continued delivery of high-quality services while minimising the financial impact on beneficiaries. This has been supported through targeted pricing strategies and discount schemes, including financial hardship support and sibling discounts, helping to maintain accessibility and inclusion. The expansion of the Gymnastics for All programme to 44 weeks per year, alongside increased facility capacity, has strengthened the charity's financial position by driving higher participation and supporting sustainable income growth. 

Looking ahead, YCGF is well positioned to continue its programme of facility investment. This includes the refurbishment of existing amenities and planned enhancements to the main activity areas, supporting the charity's long-term strategic objectives and sustainable service delivery. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity maintains a reserves policy to ensure that sufficient funds are available to enable an orderly wind-down of operations, should this ever be required. The policy considers the level of income needed to meet all financial commitments in such circumstances. The trustees are actively working towards building and maintaining an appropriate level of reserves so that sufficient funds can be set aside to meet this requirement. 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025 have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have carefully reviewed the financial position of the charity and are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue operating for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they consider the use of the going concern basis to be appropriate. 

## **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. 

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

Trustees are recruited through open advertisement, both online and within the club, to ensure a broad and appropriate range of skills and experience. The charity is in the process of recruiting a Treasurer to sit on the board. The governing document permits a maximum of seven trustees; there are currently four in post.

An administrative team supports the operation of class membership, bookings, and general administration, working within the overall management structure. 

The Board retains responsibility for strategy, finance, and facility development, while operational delivery is managed through the Club Director and wider staff team. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

The board of trustees are responsible for the induction and training of new trustees. 

## **Key management remuneration**

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)).
