Phoenix Sports and Recreation (Rotherham) (A Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee)

Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 September 2022

The annual report serves the purposes of both a trustee’s report, and a director's report under company law.

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the consolidated financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Our objectives as set out in our Articles of Memorandum are to promote physical and mental health and wellbeing by the provision of sporting and cultural facilities.

The Objects are specifically restricted to the following, for the public benefit:

The strategies employed to achieve the charity’s aims and objectives are to: -

  1. present a broad range of facilities and activities for the enjoyment and education of our local community;

  2. offer opportunities for a broad range of people to get involved in sporting leisure and cultural activities.

In putting these strategies together we have three major areas of activity: -

  1. Organised “sections” where members can partake individually or collectively in teams, both in competitive and non-competitive environments.

  2. Non section members where use of the facilities can be on a “one off” basis or a term basis such as the use of football facilities throughout the football season by Brinsworth Whitehill Junior Football Club and Rotherham Schools Select.

  3. Casual use.

In implementing these strategies, the sections are encouraged to include and where feasible encourage participation by all members of the community.

Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 September 2022

Our Facilities

We aim to provide affordable access to a wide range of facilities for a whole range of sports and cultural activities these include but are not restricted to: -

Sports Facilities for Archery Badminton Bowls Football Golf Squash Table Tennis Weight Training

In addition, the Charity provides administration and other support for Drama Hockey Ravenfield Country Park

The Charity relies on the income from fees and charges it has to make to cover its operating costs and is constantly striving to ensure that these are affordable to all.

Volunteers

The charity is grateful for the work carried out by its Trustees and also those who help to run the various sporting and leisure sections of the charity.

Public benefit

The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission in relation to Public Benefit in determining the actions and objectives of the Charity. The Trustees also confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011.

The charity’s services are available to all.

The Trustees feel it is clear from the Charity's objectives and aims, the targets set for the Charity and in providing its facilities, support for the local community and opportunities to gain improved physical and mental wellbeing, the charity brings substantial public benefit.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

On 1 October 2016, the assets, liabilities and activities of Phoenix Sports and Social Club, an unincorporated members club were transferred to the charity and its subsidiary Phoenix Pavilion Ltd, and the charity commenced its activities on that date. The trading activities are undertaken by Phoenix Pavilion Limited.

During the period the charity achieved its aims in providing the facilities required to meet the demands of the community. The charity also maintained the high membership levels of two of our outdoor sports offerings (Golf and Angling). In addition, utilisation of our football offering has now grown to an extent where we are fully subscribed at weekends. We currently have over 40 individual teams across men’s and women’s football ranging from U7’s right up to adults.

The trading arm has showed real bouncebackability following the challenging covid period with all categories (beers, ciders, wines & spirits) showing significant sales growth v pre-covid (2019) figures. This performance bucks the industry trend as evidenced in our year end report from Molson Coors.

Utilisation of our meeting facilities have also increased significantly. NEFA (North England Football Academy) use the Pavilion for classroom-based exercises 4 days a week, whilst we also now hold numerous Speed Awareness

Phoenix Sports and Recreation (Rotherham) (A Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee)

Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 September 2022

Courses for TTC. A number of other businesses (British Gas, Probation Services, BRCC + others) also now use the facility on a frequent basis for meetings/functions.

Key Performance Indicators

The charity measures its success by the number of members and the number of people using their charitable facilities. It has had a positive year for usage and membership as noted above.

The charity's income is influenced by public attitudes to health and leisure activities.

Financial Review

The group received income of £457,656 (2021 £441,636) from section membership and pay to play activities with additional income of £5,903 (2021 £206,093) from grants. A further £18,574 (2021 £22,667) was raised in fundraising and £868,040 (2021 £512,290) from the trading subsidiary.

Operating costs for the charity amounted to £745,360 (2021 £626,026) on charitable activities, £11,925 (2021 £8,676) in fundraising activities and £728,698 (2021 £566,339) relating to the trading activities of the subsidiary.

Capital Expenditure amounted to £34,856 (2021 £11,373).

After inclusion of the results of Phoenix Pavilion Ltd the group had a consolidated deficit of £114,721 (2021 surplus of £25,022). Fund balances at the end of the year totalled £3,448,128 (2021 £3,562,849).

The Trustees whilst acknowledging the deficit also re-emphasise the success in responding to the unique challenges faced. After successfully navigating the challenging covid period, the business was hit with a substantial increase in electricity bills in the financial year ending 30 September 2022 that had a huge financial impact on the result for the year.

The charity’s principal funding sources are the general public.

Fundraising

The charity normally undertakes a minimal amount of fundraising (a weekly draw). Our policy remains - no commercial fundraisers are used and there is no pressure for anyone to donate or participate in fundraising activities.

Going Concern

The trustees are aware of the year end net current liabilities of the group and consolidated deficit for the year. Liabilities include deferred income relating to 2022/23 subscriptions of £45,000.

The trading subsidiary had net liabilities of £52,995 at 30 September 2022 but has returned to profitability after the removal of the Covid -19 restrictions making a profit in the year of £5,838. The trustees are mindful of the Charity Commission’s guidance on providing financial support to trading subsidiaries and the need to ensure that charity assets are not placed at risk by supporting a loss making subsidiary when it is no longer financially viable.

The trustees are confident that the trading subsidiary will remain profitable in the period to 30 September 2023 and following, and will return to a position of net assets within a couple of years, and hence consider that it is appropriate to continue to support the trading subsidiary, and that it is a going concern.

The Board of Trustees have taken steps to ensure the charity and group has adequate financial resource to continue activities for the foreseeable future. For this reason it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Statement of Accounting Policies.

Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 September 2022

Reserves

The Trustees review the reserve levels of the group at the end of each financial year as part of its budget planning process. This review encompasses the nature of income and expenditure streams, the need to match income with commitments and the nature of reserves along with necessary consideration/responses to developmental/change processes initiated in house or required by changes in national scenarios.

The trustees also recognise that there is a variation in income across the year and deemed that, variation not withstanding unrestricted reserves should not fall below £3,857,000, that being the approximate equivalent to the net book value of fixed assets and three months operating expense.

The reserves as at 30 September 2022 were £3,448,128, of which all are unrestricted funds. Of these funds £3,485,534 can only be realised by disposing of tangible fixed assets leaving negative unrestricted free reserves of £37,406.

The Trustees constantly review opportunities, financial performance and budgets to identify opportunities to increase free reserves to the required level.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The charity plans to continue to provide the provision of the facilities for public use. In addition, the charity has engaged with a number of existing and new customers, exploring partnerships and further opportunities to utilise redundant land. The charity and trading arm have untapped potential and with a strong reputation on core offerings are upbeat on its capability to maximise income for the coming year.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The company is a private company.

Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 September 2022

Arrangements for Setting the Pay of Key Management Personnel

The remuneration of the Business Manager is determined by the Board of Trustees and is based on market rates for the role.

Risk Assessment

The trustees have reviewed the major risks to the operation and are confident that all preventative measures that can be are in place.

The principal risks facing the charity are the obtaining of adequate funding and control over cash.

The emphasis on cash management whilst successful, in isolation does not position the charity to invest and extend its offerings. The trustees understand the criticality of cash and continue to focus on a number of opportunities to secure windfalls and strengthen partnerships that improve underlying operational results.

The Trustees review the cash flow projections at their regular meetings to ensure adequate resources are available.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Phoenix Sports and Recreation (Rotherham) 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. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 these financial statements, the trustees are required to:-

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that 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.

Report of the Independent Auditor to the Trustees of Phoenix Sports and Recreation (Rotherham)

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Phoenix Sports and Recreation (Rotherham) (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 30 September 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Company Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent 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 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 group and parent 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 Report of the Trustees other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Report of the Independent Auditor to the Trustees of Phoenix Sports and Recreation (Rotherham)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, set out on page 6, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent 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 group and the parent 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 group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that act.

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 an auditor’s report 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 specific procedures for this assignment and the extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including 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 statements, as we will be less likely to 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 concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

10

Report of the Independent Auditor to the Trustees of Phoenix Sports and Recreation (Rotherham)

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 auditor’s report.

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 auditor’s 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.

1 STATUTORY INFORMATION

Phoenix Sports and Recreation (Rotherham) is a private charitable company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found in the reference and administrative details section of the trustees report. Its principal activity is the operation of a sports and recreation facility in furtherance of its charitable objects as listed in the Report of the Trustees.

The liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member.

The presentation currency is pounds sterling and the accounts are rounded to the nearest £1.

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Accounting Convention and 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.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.

b) Going Concern

The company and group made a deficit in the year and the group had net current liabilities at the year end. The trustees are also conscious of the net liabilities in the trading subsidiary. The trustees are mindful of the Charity Commission’s guidance on providing financial support to trading subsidiaries and the need to ensure that charity assets are not placed at risk by supporting a loss making subsidiary when it is no longer financially viable. However, the trustees are confident that the subsidiary will continue to be profitable in the period to 30 September 2023 and following, and will return to a position of net assets within a couple of years, and hence consider that it is appropriate to continue to support the trading subsidiary, and that it is a going concern.

The Trustees have taken steps to ensure that the group has adequate financial resource to continue activities over the next twelve months.

They have produced forecasts which show that the group can continue to operate within its financial resources for twelve months from the date of this report and management accounts indicate these projections should be achieved. Consequently the directors are confident that the financial statements are properly prepared on a going concern basis.

c) Group Financial Statements

These financial statements consolidate the accounts of the charity and its subsidiary undertaking, which is made up to 30 September, on a line by line basis. Transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. No Statement of Financial Activities is presented for the charity alone.

d) Fund Accounting

Funds held by the charity are either:

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

e) Income

Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

Donations are recognised on a receivable basis (where there are no performance conditions), where it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Grant income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Membership generally runs to 30 September. Golf membership runs to 28 February. Income from the various memberships is recognised in the period to which it relates.

Admissions, playing fees and trading income is recognised when goods or services have been supplied and entitlement is due.

Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis.

Where the donated good is a fixed asset it is measured at fair value unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor is used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset category and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the charity's accounting policies.

g) Resources Expended

Expenditure is recognised where 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 for settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been categorised under headings that aggregate all costs 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. Expenditure is categorised under the following headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed they have been allocated based on the estimated use of resources.

The company makes contributions to the B&CE benefit scheme defined contribution scheme. The charge represents contributions paid by the company to the fund in respect of the year for current employees.

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The company is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

j) Tangible fixed assets

Individual tangible fixed assets costing £250 or more are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write-off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful life on the following basis:

Buildings over 50 years straight line Plant and machinery over 5-10 years straight line Fixtures and fittings over 5-10 years straight line

Assets acquired by donation are depreciated over their individually assessed estimated useful economic life at the date of donation.

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

l) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

m) Creditors and Provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
