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. I would like lo extend a warm welcome lo.. Yashmin Harun BEM, the founding Chair of
Muslimah Sports Association IMSAI., Usama Yusuf, an Inve51Menl Associate al Fair4AII Finan¢e,' and
Alex Eagle, the CEO and co-founder of The Running Charity. Their expertise and experience wll be
critical in this upcoming financial year, and I look fOn￿ard lo working with them more closely.
And of course, I'd be remiss lo not thank Sport England for the continued support and investment
provided lo London Sport. 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. Otjr shared goals and rnission to help every
community in London find their way lo move more promises tremendous amounts of potential. which

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. We produced our London Sport Manifesto - a set of five
key policy asks lo the Mayor of London aimed al la¢kling the capital's on-going inactivity crisis. The
document, tilled 'Let's Move London.. 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. As we have done in previous years, we held our London Sport Award5, with ten
categories that recognise and celebrate the effort5 of volunteers. physical a¢livity projects and
organisalions, as well as our A¢ty've LDN conference, which brought the sector together to learn, share
ideas, and collaborate on 'Active Solutions to London's challenges,.
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.
This last year has posed a number of challenges and opportunities, with many lo Come, l am proud of
the work that we have delivered wth the support of our Board, our sector and wider neknrks, and am
excited lo continue our efforts lo ensure that we can help every Londoner find their way lo move more.

the grant funded programmes tsullined above. and £0.4m {2022, £0.2ml was spent delivering other
activib'es.
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. Based on London SpL)rt's a¢¢ounls for 2023-24 this
rigure is £818k.

unrestricted and the remaining £584k was restricted. Total expenditure for the year was £3,270k

Ihereft>re reserves represented 260A of expenditure which is marginally above the target of three
months, lie 25%) of annual expenditure. However. the budget for 2024-25 shows a decline in reserves
which will bring them below target al the end of the year. The Trustees are focused on ensuring that
reserves, particularly unrestricted reserve5, are sustained in the future, through raising more funds
and reducing our reliance on Sport England through our Diversrfication of Income strategy.

Managlng rf$k
London Sport has a fomial risk management pro¢ess through which the Executive team identifies the
major risks to which the organisalion may be exposed.
London Sport's principal risks are Sel out in a Risk Register, where each risk is calegorised as either
a stiategic risk or an operational risk. During the year the Risk Register is reviewed on a monthly
basis by the Executive Team and updated a5 necessary. There are currently fifteen operational and
strategic risks identified. Each risk is assessed using a likelihood rating of 1-5, where 5 is the most
likely, and an impact rating of 1-5, where 5 is severe. The total score is then given a ￿d, amber or
green IRAGI rating.
There were two major strategic risks, relating to our ability to increase income and diversify our
funding base to ￿d￿Ce our reliance on one major ￿nder and increase our reserves.. and OLJr ability to
recruit certain senior staff, including a Chief Operating Officer and a Head of Finance, both these
positions having been filled on a temporary basis for some time. However a permanent COO has now
been recruited and totsk up the position in September 2024. The interim Head of Finance will ¢(>ntinue
in post until the end of October 2024 to allow the new COO lo make a decision on the way forward in
this area.
The major operational risks arise from our Shared working space House of Sport and cover areas
su¢h as business continuity, fire, health and safety. A Business Continuity plan is in place and was
activated as part of our response to COVID-19. London Sport also has a Health and Safely Poli¢y in
place. An uplo-dale Health and Safety Assessment has been carried out on our workplace, House of
Sport. The￿ weie a550cialed financial risks related lo the management of this facility, which were
also carefully monitored. These risks were miligaled post year end by London Marathon Events
taking over the lease and management of House of Sport as of 1 April 2023.
All signrficanl risks, together with current mitigation actions. are reviewed at each Board Meeting

the group and parent charitable company in a¢¢ordance with the ethical requirements that are
relevant lo our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Slandafd, and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in a¢¢ordan¢e wlh these requirements. We believe
that the audi( evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concem
In auditing the finan¢ial slalemenls, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern
basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial slalemenls is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating lo
events or ¢ondilions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubl on the group'5 or
parent charitable company's ability lo ctsnlinue as a going concern for a period of al least ￿e1ve
months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilitie5 of the trustees with respect lo going concern are
described in the relevant sections of this report.

finan¢ial ststemenls or OUT knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears lo be
materially misslaled. If we identify such material incon5islencies or apparent material misstalemenls,
we are required to deterrnine 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 lo report that fact.
We have nothing lo report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters p￿scrIbed by the Companies Act 2006

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 kno￿edge 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.
