LONDON SPORT TRUSTEES REPORT LONDON SPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Chairfs Report As I reflect on my fifth year as Chair of London Sport l am not only proud ofthe work we have achieved lo dale, bul I'm immensely grateful fL)r the work that our Chief Executive, Emily Robinson. and her team 81 London Sport ¢onlinue to deliver on. LondDners continue lo face a wide range of challenges and inequalities- posing significant barriers to sport and physical a¢tivity. But ¥Mlh the clear direction and the brilliant work being done al all levels of the organisation, there certainly is a lol lo indicate towards a more promising future. The impleTnentalion of the LDN Moving strategy helps address inactivity across the city. London Sport's work, priorities and success was clearly demonstrated by ils flagship even15 over the last year,. Active LDN 2023, held in October at Decathlon's flagship Surrey Quays store, to discuss ActThie Solutions to London's Challenges., and The London Sport Awards 2024, which was once again held at the spectacular and historic Guildhall lo celebrate the unsung heroes of the grassroots sport and physical activity sector. These events reinfoTce the irnportance of our mission and the immense challenges we must overcome to promote sport and physical activity. We wll undoubtedty face complex obstscles as the $e¢tor faces increased financial pressures amidst a shifting political landscape. However, under Emily's leadership, London Sport wll Continue to make a meaningful difference for our capital. I musl also thank my fellow Board members and Trustees for their unwavering support over the last 12 months. Your counsel and advocacy for London Sport have been invaluable. and I IharTrk you for your service. l am also pleased that we have been able lo further strengthen our Board of Trustees with new appoinlmenls.

With this, it allows us to foster other strategic and supportive relationships, such as the one we have with the Mayor of London, the GLA and local authorities within the City. In addition, the commercial partnerships London Sport has rith the City of London Corporation, Decathlon, Exergame, Play Innovation, Sid Lee, Sweaty Betty Foundation, Opinium, and London Health and Care Partnership have proven lo be invaluable.

LONDON SPORT TRUSTEES REPORT LONDON SPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Chief Executive's Report The London Sport Board of Trustees has provided advice and guidance that has been pivotal lo our accomplishments over the last 12 months. The expertise and experience that they collectively share continues to set our strategic objectives and give5 clear direction for the work that we do. As the world changes and the context in which London Sport operates becomes ever more complex, the Board, Senior Leaderghip Team and wder staff team spent time dLJring this period lo develop a new strategy. This strategy was launched in September 2024 and will cover 2024-2027. We spent time exploring our unique slrenglh5 and offer lo the grassroots sector in London. We are also a growing charity and we continue to develop mechanisms lo ensure our staff slay motivated and equipped lo work in a hybrid environment meeting the challenges of OLJr diverse city. Our diversity wlhin London is a key asset and we also continued lo priorilise our efforts to become more like London in our staff and board representation - an area in which there is a5ways more lo do bul one in which l am proud we continue Its prtsgress. As part of our commitment to our key funder, Sport England, and il's Uniting the Movement strategy, we also spent the year priorilising our efforts within specific pla¢es where inactivity is high and compounded by inequality lo enable our charity lo have the maximum impa¢l. Alongside thi5 Intensive focus within eight areas of London in the first phase. we have also developed a"Pan-London offerf, to all parts of the Capital lo ensure we are signposting, providing insight and data and a level of support lo all boroughs. Our efforts lo identify priority places have also allowed us lo focus our resources on underseNed communitie5, we have increased resource lo our role in distributing the Department for Education's Opening School Facilities IOSFI fvnd. A5 part of a Ihre&year programme which wll see a lolal of £5.7 million invested into London's schoDls to improve a¢¢ess to sport and physical activity for children and young people, London Sport has distributed £1.7 million to schools in London this past year, which has enabled 20,000 children and young people Its take part, as well as over 3,000 people from the wder community. In addition to this, we continue our work on Playzones, working closely with the Football Foundation. Sport England and 24 London boroLJgh-based consortia lo maximise the use of spaces to engage the community and increase physical activity opportunities for a ¥Mde range of largel users. including women and girls, people from diverse ethnic communities. people from lower socio-economic groups and disabled people. Community engagement work has begijn to ¢o-PToduce a development plan with these target user groups, and we will see the first Playzones being reopened in this calendar year. By the end of 2025, we are expe¢ting lo see more than 75 safe. welcoming and accessible facilities redeveloped across the city. We are also proud to partner the Mayor of Ltsndon. Sport England, London Marathon Events and London Marathon Foundation lo deliver the Gol London fund - the biggest cofflmunty sport fund in the capital. The partnership aims lo invest 81 least£1 Om into grassroots sport and physical a¢livily i"ativeS by 2025 and lo leverage an additional £3m into the Gol London fund by 2027. This year, we celebrated one year of success wlh investment of more than £4.4m into 118 organisalion5 across London's ommunily sport sector which will engage over 60.000 underserved young Londoners by December
2026, including young people from Iow-in¢ome families, ethnically diverse communits'es, disabled young people and young Londoners experiencing homelessness. The next challenge 15 how we communicate these successes, leamings and recommendations to poli¢ymakers and help drive systematic change at a policy level. I have continued in rny role on the London Partnership Board, co<haired by the Mayor of London and the Chair of London Councils. This benefits our work lo influence across all sectors lo promote the importance of physical activity and sport and has cemented our role as a respected sector leader. advocating for the needs oflhe London sports comrnunty. To build on this, this year we have increased our focus on our advocacy work, wlh key political milestones providing large opportunf(ies ft)r London Sport and the wider sector. Given the significance of the London Mayoral Election, and the shifting political ecosystem in Weslminster, we have mel elected London local authority Leaders and Cabinet member5, working with London Councils and the Greater London Authority as well as presenting the needs of London's community sport and physical activty sector lo UK Ministers and officials.

A Manifesto for a Healthier and More Active City. was discussed with Mayoral candidates and their teams, and was the focus of a policy event that London Sport hosted at the House of Sport- whilst helping set the ¢ontexl for our national policy focus loo. The manifesto was endorsed by sixteen partner organisations. We also continue lo spotlight the fantastic work being done across the wider grassroots sport and physical a¢livty sector.

Finally. l am grateful for the incredible work we have achieved through our partners and funders, including Sport England, City of London Corporation, Decathlon, Exergame, Play Innovation, Sid Lee, Sweaty Betty Foundation, Opinium, London Health and Care Partnership. We will conb'nue to develop and build on these partnerships to support our work further.

Result forthe Period The result for the period is an excess of income over expenditure of £341k12023.' £264kl. Reserves Policy The pijrpose of the ReseNes Policy for London Sport is lo ensure the slabilty of the programmes, employment and ongoing operations of the organisation. The level held within reserves is intended to provide an inletnal source of funds for unanticipated silualion5. These include, bul are not limited to, a sudden increase in expenses.. an unexpected loss in funding,. one-off unbudgeted expenses., or uninsured losses. The reserve is not intended lo replace a permanent1055 of funds or eliminate an on-going budget gap. The minimum amount designated as the required cash reserve is an amount sufficient lo maintain ongoing operations of London Sport for three months. This target minimum reserve fund is based on the latest budget, equal to three months of average staff costs and essential operating costs needed lo maintsin ongoing operalitsns for three months.

Responsibilities of truste8S As explained more fully in the Iruslees, responsibilities statement, the Iruslees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the group and parent charitable company fsnancial slalernen15 and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such inlemal control as the trustees determine is necessary lo enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the group and parent charitable company financial slatemenls, the Iruslees are responsible for assessing the group and parent charitable company's ability to continLJe as a going concern, disclosing. as applicable, matters related lo going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Iruslees either intend lo liquidate the group or the parent charitable ctsmpany or lo cease operations, or have no realislie allemative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts and relevant regulations made or having effect Ihereunder. Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assuran¢e about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error. and lo issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a gLJarantee that an audit ¢onducted in ac¢ordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Mi5Stalements 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. Irregularf(ies, including fraud, are instances of nOn-Mplianc2 with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material mi5Stalemenls in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent lo whi¢h Ouf procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. We obtained an understanding of the grtsup and parent ¢haritsble company and the sector in which it operates to identify laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a direct effect on the financial stalemenls. We obtained our understsnding in this gard throLJgh discussions ¥Mth management, sector research and application of cumulative audit knoedge and experience of the sector. We determined the principal laws and tegulalions ielevant lo the ¢harilable company in this regard to be those arising from the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, Financial Reporting Standard 102 and relevant employee legislation. We designed our audit procedures to ensure the audit team considered whether there were any indications of non-compliance by the group and parent chaiilable company wth those laws and gulations. These proeedures included, but were not limited to enquiries of management. review of minutes and review of legal and regulatory correspondence. We also identified the risks tsf material misslatemenl of the financial ststements due to fraud. We considered, in addition to the non-rebuttable presumpb'on of a risk of fraud arising from 16
management override of ¢onlrol$, that there is potential for rnanagement bias in the recognition of grant income. For the year ended 31 March 2024, we reviewed grant agreements lo identify any performance conditions to ensure recognition was in line wlh meeting those conditions. As in all of our audits, we addressed the risk of fraud arising from management override of controls by performing audit procedures which included, bul were not limited to.. the lesling of jOLJrnals,' reviewing accounting eslimales for evidence of bias," and evaluating the business rationale of any significant Iransaclions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularilie5, ncluding those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial stalemenls, as we will be less likely lo become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional ¢oncealmenl, forgery. collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial slalements is located on the Finan¢ial Reporting Council's website al.. www.frc.org,uklaudilorsresponsibililies. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in ac¢ordance wlh Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and lo the charitable company's trustees. as a body, in accordan¢e wf(h 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 members and Iruslees those matters we are required lo slate to them in an audil0rf5 report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitled by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone, other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body and the charitable company's Iru51ees as a body, for our audit work, for this report. or for the opinions we have formed.
