THE GOOD GYM

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2023

The Trustees are pleased to present GoodGym's annual report and accounts for the year ended 31st August 2023.

In this period GoodGymers (GoodGym volunteers) carried out 8,444 group sessions and completed 3,407 tasks and visits for 811 older people. We completed 34,485 good deeds in total.

During this year we started operating in Southampton and Nottingham and continued operation in all the other existing areas.

At the start of the period GoodGym had 20,265 members and 122,923 signups. This grew to 21,691 members by 31 August 2023, with over 135,740 signups. A member is someone making a commitment to regular participation and a signup is someone who signs up to the website with a minimum of their name and email.

The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the Charity's trust deed, current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities, applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

GoodGym is a community of people who get fit by doing good. We provide social contact and practical help to older people, and practical volunteering support for community projects.

The Trustees confirm that GoodGym operates for the public benefit to promote good citizenship by offering opportunities to combine physical exercise with volunteering.

GoodGym's activities:

  1. Group sessions: GoodGymers run, walk or cycle as a group or independently to work as a group to provide support to community organisations. We complete tasks such as clearing leaves in parks, sorting food bank donations or shifting woodchip in community gardens.

  2. Social visits: GoodGymers are matched with an isolated and/or lonely older person in their area, where the GoodGymer stops for a weekly social visit during their exercise.

  3. Missions: GoodGymers carry out one-off practical tasks such as changing smoke alarm batteries, moving furniture or clearing a garden, for isolated older people

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Our income in the year was £817,875 and expenditure was £1,048,750. At the end of the year we carried over £744,410 to the next financial year, including £128,604 of restricted funding.

Reserves policy

The charity’s reserves should provide the organisation with adequate financial stability and the means for it to meet its social objectives for the foreseeable future.

The CEO , business operations manager and the Trustees review the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity’s continuing obligations every two months at Trustees meetings. Our CEO and business operations manager review the cashflow on a fortnightly basis.

We aim to maintain the organisation's reserves and confirmed income at a level which is at least equivalent to six months operational expenditure. Should reserves and confirmed income drop below this amount, the Trustees are informed immediately.

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation to believe the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage them.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE GOOD GYM

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Good Gym ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st August 2023.

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 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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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:

  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.

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.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount 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.

Tangible fixed assets

Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Taxation

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
