East Midlands Cheerleading Academy
Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 August 2020
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 August 2020.
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
Charities aims and performance
East Midlands Cheerleading Academy was set up to provide cheerleading classes to the local
community in Nottingham, with particular focus on keeping young people under the age of 18 in
sport. Concessions are made on a discretionary basis and class fees are kept as low as possible
to allow children whose families would otherwise be unable to afford it to take part.
Cheerleading classes are usually offered within our facility 6 days a week and support children
from the age of 3 up to adults, both male and female, although this has not always been possible
recently due to Covid-19 restrictions.
The trustees therefore confirm that the charity is run for public benefit and they have had full
regard to the guidance issued by the charity commission on public benefit.
EMCA has grown as a club in terms of the number of athletes taking part each year, and have
been offering classes to over 250 young people. Most of these young people are girls under the
age of 18 who were previously not doing any physical activity, thus we continue to meet our main
goals as a charity, keeping girls fit and active as well as building life long skills of teamwork, trust
and commitment.
Financial summary
During the previous year we had to move the location of our gym due to our previous gym being
knocked down by the local council. We were fortunate enough to find a warehouse in Nottingham
that was large enough to allow us to move and also to increase our class offerings to more young
people across Nottingham.
This did however necessitate as considerable amount of capital expenditure to ensure the new
premises was able to meet our requirements. In addition to the costs associated with the new
lease arrangements,
electrical works, roof fixes, and new equipment were required to support the layout and other
building work to make it safe and appropriate to work functionally as a cheerleading gym.
The lease runs for 10 years from December 2018.
Revenue continued to grow in the previous year as we welcomed new members to the
club and increased class offerings, and concessions for class fees continued to be granted to
approximately 10 % of children where parents were in financial or other support.
Premises costs increased as a result of the move to the new premises but class fees were
sufficient to continue to meet those costs.
As in previous years the majority of income is generated from class fees, but other income sources
-include payments for kit, uniform, competition entry and tickets. No profit is made on these other
income sources to ensure there is not financial barrier for those wishing to join the club.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
East Midlands Cheerleading Academy
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of East Midlands Cheerleading Academy ('the
Company.)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year
ended 31 August 2020.
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 2.011
('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
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed
body. I can confirm that l am qualified to undertake the examination because l am a registered
member of ACA which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of
the 2006 Act. or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
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
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.
