## **HARROGATE SPA TENNIS CENTRE LIMITED** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

The trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements for the 12-month period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. The annual report serves the purposes of both a trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

The company qualifies as small under section 383, therefore the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required. 

## _**Objectives and activities**_ 

## **a. Policies and objectives** 

The company’s key objective is the promotion of community participation in physically and mentally healthy recreation, for the benefit of the inhabitants of Harrogate, Knaresborough, and the surrounding areas, through the provision of tennis, padel tennis and social facilities. This is regardless of youth, age, infirmity, or disablement. 

## **b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives** 

The company has continued to consolidate and promote its operations as an outdoor tennis and padel tennis ‘club’ at the Claro Park site. 

The main features of the centre’s operations are: 

- Encouraging membership and ‘pay and play’ tennis and padel tennis), which are available to the public, including access for disabled participants. 

- Developing attractive coaching programmes to introduce more participants to the sports of tennis and padel tennis, for health and recreational purposes. 

- Promotion of the facilities for use by disabled groups, local schools and disadvantaged members of the community. 

- Working closely with the LTA for the promotion of tennis and padel tennis generally. 

The above elements enable the company to meet the charitable objectives of providing a centre for public benefit and a basis for the enjoyment of tennis and padel tennis as healthy pursuits and part of an active lifestyle. 

## _**Achievements and performance**_ 

## _**Financial review**_ 

## **a. Tennis operations** 

The past twelve months must be regarded as another success, and particular tribute for that should be paid to the Centre Manager, the Volunteer Trustees and the Tennis Director, supported by the coaching programme provided for the centre under the auspices of Strive Tennis. 

The Centre continues to expand the numbers using its facilities and whilst the direct membership remains relatively stable at 270 adults and up to 150 juniors (2023: 270 adults and 146 juniors), the latter using the Centre under the coaching programme provided by Strive there are also a large number of additional members of the public using the Centre on a 'Pay & Play' basis which is estimated to be in the order of 250+. 

In 2023-24 charitable income increased significantly as per expectations with the availability of the new facilities following

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

completion of the Phase 2 development, while normal operating costs remained well controlled. 

The company’s sinking fund currently stands at £27,000 (2023: £46,000) following the recent cleaning, refurbishment and repainting of the tarmac courts and other assorted court maintenance issues. 

It should be noted that the recommended level of money allocated for tennis court refurbishments is now set at £12,600 per annum, following the recent developments such as additional flooring for the tennis courts. 

The addition of the 2 Padel courts has further extended the requirement for sinking fund provision and a figure of £3,000 per annum for the basic court facility (walls, surface, nets) is to be allowed for in the future. This £3,000 does not include the cost for padel court canopies, for which additional funds may need to be determined and considered. 

## **b. Phase 2** 

The ‘Phase 2’ facilities were effectively completed in May 2023, at a total cost of more than £1.2m plus VAT including fit out expenditure. 

The project has delivered a well-equipped new pavilion with café bar, two new covered padel tennis courts, improved and expanded car parking, new floodlights, and improved drainage, lighting, and landscaping. 

The company has registered for VAT, and also employed paid staff for the first time. 

Financing for the project was through the company’s own resources, donations, and an interest free five-year loan of £250,000 provided by the LTA. A significant tranche of this loan will be held in reserve, and the cash flow forecasts to support the loan – as agreed with the LTA – show robust ability to repay those amounts that have been utilised. 

## **c. Going concern** 

The trustees maintain their expectation that the company has adequate financial resources and can maintain such resources, thereby continuing in operational existence. Subscription income plus café, merchandising and padel tennis revenues are more than covering operational expenditure, and we are continuing to make contributions to the sinking fund at an increased level to take account of the recent investment. 

For these reasons, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing financial statements. 

## **d. Reserves policy** 

As at 31 March 2023 the charity reported total reserves of £1,934,150 (2023: £1,994,138) of which £1,921,783 (2023: £1,980,770) represented unrestricted reserves. As part of the unrestricted funds £27,017 (2023: £45,924) of these were designated. This gives the Company free reserves for the financial period to 31 March 2024 of £1,894,766 (2023: £1,934,847). 

## **e. Investment policy and performance** 

The company’s liquid funds are all held in current or deposit bank accounts with the Co-operative Bank, and no external investments or deposits have been made.

## **Information on fundraising practices** 

The charity actively fundraises to a limited and carefully targeted group of individuals, companies, government bodies and sporting organisations, as well as to its own members from time to time. No fundraising to the general public takes place. 

The charity does not use professional fundraisers or commercial organisations to seek funds on its behalf. The charity is not a participant in any voluntary scheme for regulating fundraising, or any voluntary standard of fundraising for the activities carried out on behalf of the charity. 

Should the charity at some point in the future undertake a more general fundraising campaign, or start to generate more income through wholesale fundraising, the trustees will consider signing up to a voluntary fundraising code. 

In preparing this report the trustees have taken advantage of the small companies’ exemptions provided by section 415a of the Companies Act 2006.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

The trustees  (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees  to prepare financial statements for each financial period. Under company law, the trustees  must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees  are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

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

The trustees  are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Harrogate Spa Tennis Centre Limited ('the company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the company (and 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 the company's accounts 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. 

This report is made solely to the company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the company's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

**HARROGATE SPA TENNIS CENTRE LIMITED** 

**(A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **1. General information** 

The company is incorporated in England and Wales and is limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the company. The registered office address is: 

Claro Park Harrogate North Yorkshire HG1 4BB 

The principal activity of the company is the operation of a tennis centre for communities within the Harrogate district. 

The financial statements are prepared for the year ended 31  March 2024. The comparative amounts presented in the financial statements are for 16 months and are therefore not entirely comparable due to a longer period from 1 December 2021 to 31 March 2023. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## _**2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**_ 

The financial statements 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 Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (issued October 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Harrogate Spa Tennis Centre Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

## _**2.2 Going concern**_ 

The trustees have considered the financial position at the year end and for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of these accounts and conclude that is reasonable for the accounts to be drawn up on a going concern basis. 

The trustees maintain their expectation that the company has adequate resources and can maintain such resources, thereby continuing in operational existence. The increase in subscription income has provided cover for operational expenditure, and continued contributions to the sinking fund for future facility replacement, in line with the LTA’s recommendations. For these reasons the trustees are prepared to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing financial statements.

## **HARROGATE SPA TENNIS CENTRE LIMITED** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## _**2.3 Income**_ 

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. 

Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the company's accounting policies. 

On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## _**2.4 Expenditure**_ 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## _**2.5 Interest receivable**_ 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 

## _**2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**_ 

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 

Assets in the course of construction are included at costs incurred to date. Depreciation on these assets is not charged until they are brought into use. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. 

Depreciation is provided on the following bases: 

|Long-term leasehold property|- 50 years|
|---|---|
|Fixtures and fittings|- 10 years|
|Tennis courts|- 20 years|
|Assets under construction|- no depreciation until brought into use|

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## _**2.7 Debtors**_ 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## _**2.8 Cash at bank and in hand**_ 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## _**2.9 Liabilities and provisions**_ 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. 

As permitted by paragraph 34.90 of FRS102, Concessionary Loans are initially recognised at the amount received or paid, with the carrying amount adjusted in subsequent years to reflect payments and any accrued interest and adjusted if necessary for any impairment. 

## _**2.10 Financial instruments**_ 

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**2.11 Fund accounting**_ 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
