8. Plans for the future
DLtring 2025128 we will update our Str81egy and implementation plan to improve the clarily of our messaging and
underline our focus on Place based work. This focus on Place based work wll see Active Lancashire 58ad on the
Sport England funded Preston Place Partnership in collaboration with Preston City Council, alongside three Place
Universal Offer supported areas (Fleetwood, Morecambe and Skelmersdale) working alongside Council and
voluntary sector partners. In addition we intend to step up our leadership and skills d8velopmenl work, focused our
Partnerships with Sport England System leadership projects in Blackpool and East Lancashire (Together an Active
Future) which wlll forrn the core of a wider System leadership offer from Ihe coming year.
We will continue to support System and Place based development and delivery, buill on our collaborative work and
partnership offer, Over the coming 12 monlhs we will specifically focus on our work to positlon our Local Authority
Leisure Centre5 and services to provide joined up patient pathways working with health (e.g. Falls rxevenlion and
Cancer Rehabilitation service provision). This work is known as 'Pivot' or Active Wellbeing and is likely lo feature as
an ICB Workstream and Devolution Proposal l Lancashire Growth Plan action to improve County level productivity
through reducing Health related worklessness. Allied to Ihis work, we continue to work with Local Aulhorilies and
Voluntary Sector organisalions to position our sport and physical activity ￿e￿orkS as providers ol serwiees to tackle
economic Inaclivity. This work will see Active Lancashir8 replicaling our System convenor and lead partner role to
submit appli¢alions for the DWP funded Connect to Work programme; in support of the Government 'Get Britain
Working. mission and Ihe'Gel Lancashire Working- Slraleglc plan.
As an organisalion we will prepare Ihe oplions for our Board and Company owner to collaborate with the Sport
England Lancashire Place Pilots and consider how we can b8 collectively considered and positioned within the
emerging Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) and Devolution negotiations {from November 20251. These
opportunities are likely to Iniliale considerable change in the organlsation over the coming 1210 36 months.
9, Rlsk management
The organisatlon maintains a eorporale rlsk register that is reporled to and discussed by trustees at each quarterly
Board meellng and reviewed al regular Audit & Finance Committee meetings. This fegister reports on the predlcled
impact of the risk and actions required to mitigate the risks. In addition the organisation assesses risk al a project
and individual level to reflect specific areas of risk including safeguarding, heallh and safely and operational activity.
These operatlonal risks are consolldated and reported through our Committee and Board structures as approprlate.
The organisalion has over the last 12 months reviewed and updated its Risk Policy and Rlsk appetite slalement to
support Ihe assessment of risks as well as support and inform strategic and operational decision maklng. These
risks and Ouf assessment of the risks have been scrutinised bi annually by the Company owner through the
Lancashire County Council Member Scruliny panel supported by the County Council legal and financial Service
team.
A key risk faced by Ihe organlsatlon continues lo be Ihe short tefm cycle of funding (e,g. 12 month period
commitments on UKSPF) which Local Authorities administer on behalf of Governmenl. These funding 8llixatlons
are increasing reduced In value and are behind commissioning schedule, creating compounded risk for ourselves
as employers of project dedicated staff and activities. We have sought lo mitigate this risk by red￿Ing the level of
reliance on these short term grants, however Ouf ability to secure allernale incomes from charitable actlvity
includlng fund raising, grants and sponsorship has been largely unsuccessful during a competiliva period and
challenging wider economics. Our miligalions have been largely achieved through the down5callng and streamlining
of the busin8ss, which may conlinue into 2025126 subJecl to further project funding being secured.

Crltlcal accountlng estlmates and Judgements
In the application of the charily's 8ccountlng policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, esllmates
and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and Ilabilities Ihat are not readlly apparent from olher
80urces. The estimates and associaled assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors Ihat
are consldered to be relevanl. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underfying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period In which the eslimale is revised where the revision affects cnly that
period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both currenl and future
perIf￿S.
The present value of the defined benefit liability depends on a number of factors Ihat are determlned on an
actuarial basis using a variety of assumptions. Any changes in these assumptions. which are disclosed In note
16, will Smpacl the carrying amount of Ihe pension liability.
The trustees do not believe that there are any olh8r esllmates and assumptions which have a significant risk
of causing a material adjuslmenl to the carrying amount of assets and liabililies.

Deflned beneflt schemes
On 1 April 2010 Ihe charitable company was admilted inlo a mLslli-employer defined benefit scheme, operated
Ihrough Lancashire Counly Council. The assels of the scheme afe administered by trustees in a fund
independent from the charitable company.
FRS 102 Secllon 28 Employee Benefils requires the use of actuarial techniques lo assess the present value
of future pension liabilities. In accordance with FRS 102, the charge for the scheme has been calculated on
the sum of the cost of benefits accruing in the year, the increase in the valu8 of benefits already accru8d and
the expected relurn on nel assets. The charitable company's conlribulion to Ihe scheme during Ihe year
amounted lo 14.10/0 of pensionable salaries and Its expected contribution to the scheme for the year ending
31 March 2025 is £202,722. At Ihe year-8nd £24,406 (2024.. £24,198) was owed to the scheme in respect ol
conlfibulions.
Lancashire Counly Council guarantees any pension scheme deficit crystallislng if the charitable company Is
wound up or leaves the scheme. As there is a surplus in the year, this has not been recognised as it is
deemed to not be recoverable, therefore no corresponding liability is required from Lancashire County
Council.
