Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 January 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2023. 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
Objectives and aims
The object of the CIO is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland by the provision of facilities for cycling.
Significant activities
Leicester Wheels For All (LWFA) achieves its object by delivering supervised cycling sessions at a number of leisure centres and similar venues.
Public benefit
The Trustees have due regard for the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit and consider that all activities undertaken are in accordance with that guidance.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
During the year, LWFA delivered 102 sessions, with attendances ranging from a few dozen to over one hundred. The majority (66) were open to the public, including 36 at Saffron Lane Athletics Stadium. The private events took place at special schools, children and young people's family centres, and day care centres. The great majority of sessions (88) took place in the city of Leicester, but locations in the county included venues as far afield as Market Harborough and Melton Mowbray. No sessions were held in Rutland.
The events continued to be well-received by participants - a survey showed that over 95 per cent of respondents described the last session they had attended as either good or very good.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Total incoming resources were £30,903 (2022: £25,208). After deducting expenditure of £27,720 (2022: £26,939) there was net income of £3,183 (2022: net expenditure of £1,731) for the year.
As at 31 January 2023, the Charity had total funds of £48,304 (2022: £45,121), £2,306 (2022: £10,646) of which was held in restricted funds to be used for running cycling events.
Reserves policy
The Trustees do not consider that the charity needs to retain significant reserves. The level of reserves is regularly monitored in order to ensure that the charity can complete any activities to which it is already committed.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is controlled by its constitution as registered with the Charity Commission on 20 September 2016 and as amended on 8 December 2018.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Leicester Wheels For All
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Leicester Wheels For All
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Leicester Wheels For All (the Trust) for the year ended 31 January 2023.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 January 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, 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 Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
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
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as 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 in settlement and the amount of the obligation 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.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
During the years ended 31 January 2023 and 31 January 2022, all costs were 100% attributable to the Charity's sole activity, the provision of cycling sessions.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Cycle fleet - 10% on cost Motor vehicle - 25% on reducing balance
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
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.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 January 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective rate of interest method, less any impairment.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Going concern
After reviewing the charity's forecasts and projections, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Government grants
Government grants receivable are recognised in accordance with the performance model.
