## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2020. 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). 

Vista Twisters formed as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 6 September 2016 and started operating on 12 October 2016 when the assets of Vista Twisters, a club, were transferred to it. This is the third full year of operation for the CIO. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

To provide and promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities and coaching for the sport of cheerleading and related gymnastics activities. 

## **Significant activities** 

Vista Twisters offers sporting and recreational activities, from pre-school to adult, that by their nature contribute to improving physical and mental health. Being part of a well governed and administered voluntary club, that promotes teamwork and togetherness, also provides many social benefits to everyone who gets involved. The club continues to maintain a very high profile in the local community as an excellent grass roots sports club that has achieved elite status as a result of regional and national competitive success. In non-restricted times the club also supports local fetes and events, carnivals and delivers activities in schools throughout the South East. 

## **Public benefit** 

Comprehensive development plans and business performance monitoring helps the CIO deliver a diverse programme that is accessible and inclusive. Pathways exist to take pre-school children from play to sports performance at the  highest levels. The progression and development of the CIO has led to the conversion of a redundant factory into a public sports facility for the entire community. Documented and reviewed business plans, policies and procedures exist to ensure  the organisation and its trustees have full regard to public benefit. 

## **Staff and volunteers** 

The previous report refers to the CIO employing a contractor to take forward a project to secure a building that would become the home of the CIO. In October 2019 the CIO signed a 15-year lease for a unit in Dover (Unit 2 Hollow Wood Road, Dover, Kent CT17 0UB) now known as The Base. 

A 3-year service agreement commenced in August 2020 with a professional contractor to oversee the development and operation of the building, drive programme growth and latterly manage the closure and relaunch as required. The performance of the service provider are monitored by the board of trustees and volunteers. 

Additional volunteers have been recruited to assist with a variety of tasks within the new facility such as desk duties, cleaning, and maintenance. The developing programme also allows self-employed coaches to operate from the facility. 

Subsidised coaching programmes have again been operated in schools in the region between November 2019 and February 2020, prior to the outbreak of the pandemic.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

Moving into an independent facility, that required investment, meant the club had been reliant on a period of growth over 12-18 months.  Growth that would enable the club to reach financial targets that could sustain the organisation. The demand for activities for the period between November 2019 and March 2020 was significant. The pandemic not only prevented growth from March 2020, but reduced income as athletes became fearful and disenfranchised, many leaving the club. Income was lost from external hire of our facilities, and we could not link with the many schools in the area that provided essential access to potential new athletes. New activities for pre-school children were curtailed and after expanding to 13 competing squads in 2019 the club had to scale down. Try-outs were not possible, and the programme was only able to deliver conditioning classes online. 

The closedown of the sport of cheerleading has been devastating. All competitions and events cancelled (including competing in the World Championships in USA) and no sign of a return in 2020. 

A return to play in July provided a brief opportunity to deliver some classes, however the tight restrictions on indoor team sports meant that the only activities on offer were conditioning and tumbling classes. Ongoing failings by Sport England and the Department of Culture Media and Sport, to ratify a return to play plan, hampered the relaunch of the club programme leading directly to even greater difficulties surviving the pandemic. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

At 31 July 2020 the charity held unrestricted reserves of £99,815 (2019 - £90,411). 

## **Reserves policy** 

The reserves policy of the charity has been adjusted to reflect the investment in developing the building and purchasing equipment, and the need to retain funds to help the CIO survive the loss of business over the pandemic period. It is  also important to recognise that the club holds money on behalf of athletes and families to pay for competion entries and manage the process of attending events. These funds belong to the families, not VT, but are held in the club current account. 

The club will pursue a range of options over the next period to give the organisation a chance to survive. This will include applying for grants, deferring rent and utility payments. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The charity has the benefits of limited company status without the requirement to file returns to Companies House. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Trustee vacancies are advertised, and applicants must first pass a formal interview before being allocated a post. At every annual general meeting, one-third of the charity trustees shall retire from office. The trustees that have been longest in office since their appointment shall retire first. There will be no more than 12 trustees at any one time.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF VISTA TWISTERS** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Vista Twisters** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Vista Twisters (the Trust) for the year ended 31 July 2020. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying  out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set  out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.

KCC Grant: This is school satellite funding provided by Kent County Council and enables Vista Twisters to run after school cheerleading clubs in specific schools. Funding is allocated to pay for coaches to deliver sessions in school and also to support coach development/training and some travel expenses. The aim of the scheme is to introduce the sport and encourage the school to run clubs themselves, linked to Vista Twisters. Children can  also access the community sessions provided by the club as a direct result of these sessions. 

The charity's accounting policy is not to attribute a value to volunteer coaches. Because the school sessions  were mostly delivered by volunteer coaches an accounting "surplus" has arisen which is not repayable to KCC and it has, therefore, been transferred to unrestricted funds. 

Aviva Community Fund Grant: £9,990 was received from Aviva Community Fund to help fund the electrical services in the renovation of Vista Twisters new premises, The Base, from an empty factory into a usable facility. 

Kent Trust for Youth Sport Grant: £960 was received from Kent Trust for Youth Sport to purchase tumbling equipment to be used by under 21's.
