Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Main objectives for the year
We have aligned our strategic work and our priorities closely with the recently launched Sport England strategy 'Uniting the Movement' (January 2021), which we have been heavily involved in the development of. The broader strategic objectives for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games are also very relevant to many of our objectives, and they hold true to our vision, mission, and purpose as an Active Partnership:
-
Improve physical and mental wellbeing by reducing inactivity.
-
Make sport and physical activity inclusive and accessible to all
-
Connect communities through sport and physical activity
-
Grow and develop a workforce for the sport and physical activity sector.
-
Improve life skills and prospects through participation and engagement.
How we will work:
-
Partnerships - we will foster and grow partnerships
-
Places - we will respond to local needs and create opportunities
-
People - we will work to improve the lives of people and connect communities
For our own growth and our ability to maximize our impact we will develop a planned approach to lever investment into the city, to build capacity and sustainable delivery that is reflective of the needs of the population.
Further, we will explore efficiencies through structured collaboration, shared services, and job roles with partner organisations to achieve greater impact.
Public benefit
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
Volunteers
Volunteers are one of the most important resources that the Trust utilises. Volunteers find the donation of their time and energy a meaningful experience for themselves as well as for the Trust. Through awareness raising of opportunities and our training courses and delivery programmes, we give local people the opportunity to fulfil their potential, develop lifelong skills and lasting memories through the delivery of sport.
We do this through the delivery of a number of local, regional, and national projects and programmes including the Primary and Secondary School Games, Community Games, and the Inclusive Sport Festival, as well as a number of our programmes linked with supporting club development and working with our many partner groups and organisations.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
COVID-19
The Board have assessed the impact of the Covid-19 global pandemic on the Charity. Despite the pandemic, the Charity's funding from Sport England has been confirmed as secured until March 2022. Together with its strong control on costs, a limited exposure to leasehold property commitments and sufficient reserves and cash flow to maintain its operations going forward, the Board believe the Charity is well placed to meet the future commitments of the organisation.
During the full year under Covid-19 we have had an increased strategic and investment role to work in partnership and support the sector recovery and the 'building back' agenda, which has specifically focussed on 'building back fairer', emphasising the widening gap in health inequalities because of the pandemic.
A number of new strategic partnerships have begun, developed, or matured during the crisis, and we have taken a leadership role in many of them, acting as broker and connector for other strategic partners and also the expanding delivery network for sport and physical activity which has been directly hit so hard because of closure and restrictions on their respective activity offerings.
A specific example of our lead role in partnership working has been the launch and progress made with the new 'Birmingham Sport & Physical Activity Alliance', which has around 50 partner members (local, regional and national) who share a common interest or purpose to help make Birmingham a more active and healthier place; they are truly cross-sector in representation including health, culture, education, transport, environment and media, as well as the numerous sport and physical activity organisations.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
The year has built from our previous focussed work with the most disadvantaged communities and under-represented audiences, forging new partnerships and strengthening existing ones, most notably with Birmingham City Council, the West Midlands Combined Authority, the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee, and the Health and Wellbeing sector. We continue to have a diverse and representative Board of Trustees working to support a team of staff working effectively to lead and support the delivery network for sport and physical activity across the city.
The details below capture the outputs linked to a number of our main development areas and programmes and projects during the last year:
STRATEGY & BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT:

-
Annual Partner Survey - we achieved a NPS of 58 in our annual partner survey, up slightly from last year.

COMMONWEALTH GAMES BIRMINGHAM 2022:
-
We worked with Sport England to identify and validate the need for a Physial Activity (PA) and Wellbeing role to develop and establish a legacy for CWG 2022. The post is funded by Sport England. We led on the recruitment and hosts the post holder. The post is plugged in to the formal governance system of the Games and its official Games partners, and the PA and Wellbeing Legacy (PAWL) work stream is one of nine work streams for the games. The post holder started at the beginning of August 2019.
-
A working group of key local and regional partners has been established which has established a framework to shape and determine the approach, target groups around strategic fit with national strategy, and focus on addressing inequalities and targeting sedentary populations. This framework has been endorsed by the Organising Committee (OC) and the Games governance system via the Legacy and Benefits (LAB) Committee.
-
We have agreed a focus on what is working well, what can be amplified and what can be embedded into longer term local and regional strategies, and place-based learning, giving the legacy a people place and policy impact.
-
The PAWL has contributed to the Games Evaluation Framework development, and subsequent Covid-19 review.
-
Sport England named the committed legacy investment as "Commonwealth Active Communities" and then developed a Prospectus and Expression of interest (EOI) form to develop a programme in their settings.
-
The PAWL with partners has established a Mental health (MH) and Wellbeing legacy working group (including WMCA, DCMS and PHE), and a programme including MH in construction campaign and training (on Games capital programme sites), delivery of Thrive at work and MH first aid to Games organisations and volunteers, and a National Games time MH campaign.

-
A fund created to deal with the 'here and now' issues that our sector organisations are facing as a result of the impact of Covid-19 and is to help to reduce the negative impact of coronavirus and the widening of inequalities in sport and physical activity
-
Funding distributed through sector partners (AP's and national organisations) to provide financial support to connect to priority audiences that may be experiencing financial hardship at this time. Also, to provide opportunities for priority audiences to be active at this time by adapting offers or providing new offers.
-
• Priority audiences have been identified as:
-
Lower socio-economic groups
-
Ethnic minority communities
-

Active Communities : - Sport England Local Delivery Pilot project
Children & Young People Field Lab:
-
We have worked intensively with three primary schools in Balsall Heath to embed physical activity into their everyday practice, policy, and school vision.
-
We have appointed a Physical Activity and Wellbeing Champion at each school and provided investment to enable the post-holder, all of whom are senior leadership staff at the schools, capacity to drive the project for their setting.
-
Each school has received approval for a fully costed Action Plan to improve health within their community.
-
Action Plan's range from £15,000 to £20,000 and comprise of 4 to 6 ideas; including training South-East Asian parents to deliver PA, adopting activity tracking wristbands to inspire children's ownership of health, and allowing pupils to design their school's PE kit.
-
As we near the transition into 'phase 2' of the project, we are now turning our attention from education to community and have been building relationships with WM Police, local faith centres, youth clubs and other key organisations.
Workforce:
Develop Your Way - a programme to 'Strengthen, Support & Sustain' frontline community development and delivery
-
Funded from the Active Communities grant and developed by us to support the local community sport network and as part of our response to Covid-19.
-
The programme includes 8 practical and informative learning and networking sessions of one-to-one organisational mentoring so organisations can discuss issues raised during the learning or have bespoke support around business planning, governance, finance, workforce development or funding bids / tenders.
-
2 cohorts of organisations have taken part in the programme so far (15 organisations) and feedback will be collated to inform the programme for phase 3.
-
Funding received from SE for TIF phase 3 will support the development of DYW over the next 12 months and will support the creation of an e-learning package and roll out of organisational mentoring supported by trusted community advisers.
Satellite Clubs : - helping to bridge the gap between school, college, and community sport
-
The total amount of funding received was £137,506.00 (includes delivery, capacity, and central project costs)
-
Central project costs are used for workforce development, club development, insight & events, and marketing.
-
We purchased the 'EduCare for Sport' Package in July '20, for a 12-month period, which had available 18 different courses spanning across various relevant topics, suitable for clubs and community group's workforce to complete all in one place. We distributed 11 licences out to individuals who were part of Satellite Club funded organisations. Other SB projects made use of the licenses, as well as making the package available on our website to purchase.
-
In response to the pandemic and first lockdown, we directed Satellite Club funding towards supporting new and existing contacts, with providing online sessions to keep up engagement with their audiences and to be able to continue operating where possible. With this virtual funding support, we funded 6 different organisations.
-
3 further Satellite Clubs were funded and were able to operate or pause, in accordance with varying Covid-19 guidance.
-
The funding and support made available to those who did deliver during the pandemic has played a huge part in building stronger relations with those we work with, but also attracting new partners and stakeholders who are immensely grateful for the work we have delivered throughout this difficult period.

National Governing Body (NGB) Engagement and Legacy support - working closely with NGBs, particularly the Commonwealth Games sports to ensure they are creating development plans aligned to the Games, SB, and the City Council's priorities
-
Covid-19 has presented NGBs with a huge challenge to engage with the Active Partnership due to redundancies and furlough amongst teams.
-
Upon some easing of restrictions some NGBs have begun to engage with the city and SB to discuss how they can meet the local priorities and align agendas
-
We have begun working on a 'set of principles' that we want NGBs to work to, ensuring a collaborative and community-led approach which will support sustainability.
-
We will continue to define delivery plans with key sports and facilitate collaboration with the official Commonwealth Games legacy and community activities
Virtual Learning & Networking Events - created in the first lockdown to engage with community organisations and clubs and support them through the pandemic
-
Developed into a series of online networking events focusing on different topics to support the needs of the sector
-
Created learning between organisations, groups, and communities through sharing of experiences and understanding the changing rules and regulations
-
9 sessions delivered, 450 attendees, 30 external speakers to support delivery, generating over 1000 website page views linked to the sessions
-
Sessions ranged from Covid-19 specific advice and guidance to Tackling Inequalities Funding, to Commonwealth Games volunteering opportunities.
CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE / YOUTH
-
The Children and Young People (CYP) investment received from Sport England was combined into a single award from 1st September 2020 to signal a new direction whereby there is less focus on national programmes and more autonomy for Active Partnerships to make informed decisions based on local need.
-
We have taken time to identify some key priorities for our CYP investment and priority areas that align with our “Uniting Birmingham" strategy. The key areas for our CYP work are:
-
Schools Influence and Support - continuing to champion a whole school approach to PE, school sport and physical activity (PESSPA)
-
Family Engagement - a new focus on engaging and educating families in the importance of physical activity while providing resources to support families to be more active.
-
Skills Development - focus on development of transferable skills to support young people to progress with their future ambitions.
-
Youth Engagement - engaging young people in positive activities outside of school time.
-
We launched our Pathway to Podium initiative in October 2020, which is a new initiative to support schools to adopt a whole school approach to PESSPA, and in turn provide more opportunities for CYP to be active for at least 60 minutes every day. 44 schools have engaged in the initiative to date with 100% of schools that have been engaged for more than a term showing an improved offering because of engagement in the initiative.
-
The School Games offering was adapted to better serve the circumstances presented throughout 2020/21 and shifted towards a virtual offering focused on personal challenges which could be completed at school or at home and allowed pupils to stay connected to the School Games and continue developing their skills.

School Sport Volunteering
-
As part of the DfE enhanced funding, we developed a Leadership & Volunteering programme for young people to equip them with the skills and attributes required for volunteering and employment, and to be motivated to take up Games based and other volunteering opportunities leading up to and beyond the Games.
-
33 young people were recruited from 2 different schools in Birmingham and have undertaken a variety of workshops and qualifications many of which were successfully adapted to online delivery throughout the lockdown period to ensure continued engagement with the young people.
-
Resilience Handbooks were completed by the young people focused on 4 specific skills includingcommunication, organisation, determination, and self- awareness. In addition, they have completed workshops with Employability UK focused on Health & Well-Being, Interview Tools and Techniques, Finance & handling Money & Volunteering pathways as well as attending Mental Health Awareness Training, Inclusive Activity Programme, and the Activity Volunteer Award.
-
We are one of thirteen Active Partnerships across the Country who have been working with Sports Leaders on the development of the Activity Volunteer Award, which is specifically aimed at engaging with less confident young people with little/no previous experience in Leadership/Volunteering. The award can be delivered both virtually and face to face and will continue to be used within schools and delivered by the School Games Officers to reach our priority audiences.
MAD Birmingham (Make A Difference) - using sport and activities to tackle social issues.
-
MAD Birmingham is an open access youth development programme. MAD Birmingham works with community partners, residents, parents, and schools to provide a sustainable offer that has evolved from open access youth clubs and outreach services to a tailored sport-driven, social, and emotional mentoring and youth outreach programme for young people aged 11-16.
-
MAD has gone through a full business review and has refreshed its aims, objectives, priorities, and we continue to explore opportunities to secure further investment going forward.
-
It was necessary for MAD to adapt to what has been a challenging year with Covid-19 and the impact this has had on young people and support the MAD team has provide has been essential in supporting young people across the city who have faced significant barriers over the last 12 months.
-
We secured investment to distribute 20 chrome books and supported data packages to families with multi sibling households who were either single parent households or those living in low income or deprived.
-
We adapted to a Covid-19 safe offer with a new dependency on technology and digital interaction. We supported over 400 young people during lockdown providing advice, guidance, and digital access through 1;1 and small groups to support young people stay in education adhere to guidance and support their mental health this has been a combination of youth roundtables, digital engagement and 1;1 mentoring.

The Daily Mile : - promoting and supporting schools to engage with regular activity
-
The Daily Mile continues to grow with over 180 schools now signed up in Birmingham.
-
Specific investment from Sport England for The Daily Mile ends in July. As a result, we partnered with the University of Birmingham to evaluate the programme's local impact. The evaluation found:
-
• Participation:
-
Schools taking part in the programme 'every day' has increased from 28% to 50% over the course of the investment.
-
The number of children participating also increases over time, with 23% of schools stating that 'most year groups take part' 3 months after registration, in comparison to 64% after 12 months.
-
Commonwealth Challenge (local educational resource):
-
91% of surveyed teachers were aware of the resource.
-
61% of schools signed up to The Daily Mile as a result of the resource.
-
Given The Daily Mile's impact, we have embedded the promotion of Active Mile Initiatives into our core CYP offer for future years.
-
The Daily Mile was positioned as a safe option for schools to deliver over the pandemic, and we were able to share a number of case studies and resources to support schools with this delivery.
Levelling the Playing Field (LtPF)
-
LtPF is a national project, managed by the Alliance of Sport in Criminal Justice, working alongside the Youth Justice Board. Sport Birmingham, together with Think Active and The Active Black Country are supporting on the West Midlands pilot. The program builds on the evidence that the criminal justice system is overrepresented and disproportionately affects people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities and Sport England states children from diverse communities are less likely to take part in sport and physical activities.
-
From a sport and physical activity view, we want to utilise the LtPF project's approach, we are going to ensure that community sport/activity organisations and Criminal Justice Agencies support Black, Asian and minority ethnic children (10 - 18 years old) to achieve the recommended levels of 60 minutes every day of moderate intensive as stated by UK Chief Medical Officers' Physical Activity lead .
-
We have identified 10 organisations across the West Midlands who are specialists in engaging young people from diverse communities and provide informal and formal supported opportunities to take part in sport and physical activity.
-
We have identified 15 mentors across the West Midlands who will take part in the Levelling the playing mentoring training program.
-
The University of Birmingham have been selected as the academic research partner and have a dedicated PHD student who is responsible for collating the monitoring, evaluation and learning from the project.
HEALTH AND WELLBEING:
Ahead of the Game - Moving Lives, Healthy Mind s - creating partnerships to support more deliberate mental health intervention through sport and physical activity.
-
Despite some difficulties and delays due to the pandemic, the project has successfully recruited for the individual roles of Sport & Wellbeing Officer (SWO), Health Instructor (HI) and PHD student. The Sport & Wellbeing Officer role at Sport Birmingham began in October 2020.
-
The project has successfully engaged 8 varied activity deliverers who operate within, and local to the Longbridge pilot area.
-
A process of club and workforce analysis, using Skills360, has been conducted by the Sport and Wellbeing Officer with each activity deliverer. This provided us and the Activity Deliverers with a diagnostic of their strengths and weaknesses, as well as identifying any skills and knowledge gaps which the project could compliment or support, keeping a focus on mental health awareness and complimentary learning.
-
32 individual learners from the 8 activity deliverers were signed up to complete a variety of mental health training courses in the coming months, with 18 of those due to complete the Mental Health First Aid 2-day course.
-
We continue to work closely with Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust (BSMHFT) and Newman University.
-
Relevant mental health training courses identified and circulated for clubs and organisations to complete before session delivery commences in June - Mental Health First Aid, Mental Health Awareness for Sport and Physical Activity, Zero Suicide Alliance training and The Birmingham Way.

Inclusion: - raising the profile of activities for people with disabilities.
-
Development of a Disability Steering Group, consisting of key strategic partners across the city, such as Activity Alliance, Midland Mencap and Sense. The group has been established to help influence and coordinate an integrated approach to increasing the participation of disabled people in sport and physical activity, as well as driving key disability projects and programmes forward across the City.
-
No physical events were possible due to lockdown
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The Board have given careful consideration to the level of reserves that should be held by Birmingham Sport and Physical Activity Trust (‘BSPAT’).
The Board have considered the risks faced by BSPAT in delivery of its services and are of the view that the greatest risk faced by the organisation is the withdrawal of potentially significant proportions of its grant funding, either through the loss of some or all of the Sport England funding, or through the loss of other grant funded income streams. As a result, and in order to allow:
-
attempts to secure additional funding to be made
-
that members/service users are supported to move on to other services.
-
that any restructuring costs, as may be required, can be met
The Board have concluded that reserves equal to 4 months staff and operational costs, together with the amount necessary to cover any outstanding lease commitments should be maintained. As at 31 March 2021 this amount equated to £300,388.
On 31 March 2021 unrestricted reserves amounted to £460,185 (2020 £323,567) and free reserves amounted to £446,471 (2020 £258,776). Free reserves are total unrestricted reserves, deducting any balances not available for spending (such as assets, investments, and designated funds).
The Board of Trustees review the number of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity's continuing obligations on a quarterly basis at the Trustees meetings.
The trustees have reviewed the circumstances of the charity and consider that adequate resources continue to be available to fund the activities of the charity for the foreseeable future. The trustees are of the view that the charity is a going concern.
Income
All previous grant programme funding through Sport England continued for the financial year totalling £879,451, and an additional £666,652 income was raised by the trust through a mixture of additional commissioned work, sponsorship, hosting fees and course delivery. This gives a level of 57% funding from Sport England, and 43% from diversification.
Expenditure
The budget covers all core expenditure for pay and non-pay expenditure, including premises costs for the office lease which has been extended and will now expire in July 2022. Additionally, each delivery programme has its own budget allocated within the central grant awards, and these are managed so that any shortfall in expenditure is reported as an underspend to Sport England; often along with a plan for how responsibly this can be re-allocated for new or additional work in line with business objectives and priorities.

The identification of opportunities with Birmingham and the region and the subsequent facilitation of relevant network development and introductions
-
Positive advocacy - acting as pro-active champions for the organisation
-
An effective portal for market sector consultant and engagement (specific to each sector identified above)
Pay policy for senior staff The pay policy is based on the following practice;
-
There will be annual review of pay levels across the team in January of each year; this will be conducted through the HR Sub-Committee who will make a recommendation to the board in April of each year
-
The pay review will be based on periodic benchmarking within the CSP Network and also the CPI Index to establish 'Cost of Living' level
-
All pay levels are at a fixed-point grade rather than a grade scale
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The Board has a comprehensive Business Risk-Register which is reviewed on a quarterly basis at each board meeting, and risks are 'owned' by each relevant sub-committee; the register considers all aspects of risk as identified through the leadership team of the trust, and refines them regularly in light of local, regional and national context and strategic impact.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Birmingham Sport And Physical Activity Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Locke Williams Associates LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Birmingham Sport And Physical Activity Trust (Registered number: 08177159)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Birmingham Sport And Physical Activity Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 18 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Page 14
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Birmingham Sport And Physical Activity Trust (Registered number: 08177159)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We have gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of any acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed our audit procedures to address these risks, whilst recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error.
We focussed on those laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, which include, but are not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our testing included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management and with third parties . There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud.
Page 15
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Birmingham Sport And Physical Activity Trust (Registered number: 08177159)
As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
The charity receives government and other grants in respect of its core activities. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Other income includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
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.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the direct costs of delivering programmes and activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity.
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the Trusts artistic programmes and activities.
Where identifiable, support costs are attributed to the individual charitable activity.
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 | - Over the period of the lease |
|---|---|
| Equipment | - 20% on cost |
| Fixtures and fittings | - 20% on cost |
| Motor vehicles | - 25% on reducing balance |
| Computer equipment | - 20% on cost |
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

In the year, the charity has taken the opportunity to revise and re-align its restricted funds, in order to better reflect the activity on, and level of funds held, at the balance sheet date. As a result of this, the following transfers have been made:
Re-alignment of historic income and expenditure, between restricted 132,866 and unrestricted funds
Release of prior year designated funds against current in year (40,000) restricted fund activity
As part of this re-alignment, several historic funds have been combined, purely for presentational reasons, and so some of the individual figures above as at 1.4.20 are individually different to those in the following comparative note as at 31.3.20, but overall remain the same.
