THE SPORT LEGACY FOUNDATION 

Empowering young people to change their lives through sport and education. 



The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the charity and charitable trading company for the year to 31[st] March 2024. 

## **MISSION AND OBJECTIVES** 

Sport Legacy Foundation (SLF) is a sport and education charity established in 2017 and dedicated to offering opportunities through sport and education to disadvantaged young people. 

Our offer to young people is founded on three areas: **People, Resources, Spaces:** 

- People: 

   - we believe that every young person can be amazing at sport and physical activity.  They just need help to find out which sport or physical activity that is and what makes them happy and fulfilled. 

   - we believe that sport and education are inextricably linked, and that every young person should be offered both to ensure physical and mental wellbeing all their life. 

- 

   - Resources: 

      - we believe that everyone should be given equal opportunities to participate whatever their social or financial circumstances. 

- 

- Spaces: 

   - we aim to provide premium destinations for young people and their communities to enjoy activities safely year-round. 

## _**Our mission is:**_ 

‘To empower young people in challenging communities to change their lives through education and sport.’ 

SLF believes that young people educated in the state sector in England & Wales are not offered enriching physical activity and sport to complement academic education. This is particularly true in Government Education Opportunity Areas in the most deprived, and often diverse, parts of the country.  In addition, due to Government measures applied during the Covid pandemic, this offer worsened, and in 2022-23 many schools in England & Wales reduced their required PE programmes to one hour per week and in some cases even less.  Added to this is a propensity for many young people to truant and in December 2023, the BBC Education & Laidlaw Foundation reported that a fifth of primary and secondary students are simply not attending school at all due to lack of engagement. 

We help young people to discover what they are brilliant at by funding extra-curricular sport and physical activities in state schools in Birmingham and Bradford Leeds. In the Caribbean we assist our sister organisation Sport for Life Barbados, founded with us as a legacy programme to the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2007, and we are working to re-establish Sport for Life St Lucia after the ICC Cricket World Cup T20 in 2024.

THE SPORT LEGACY FOUNDATION 

Empowering young people to change their lives through sport and education. 



SLF’s experience of delivering such work has witnessed the development of extraordinary talent amongst young people – teenaged boys from highly diverse communities in the Black Country showing special skills in our Football & Food programme; Year 6 girls from the British South Asian community who display top tennis skills at our summer camp; a challenged Year 5 boy with sight disability playing tennis using jingle balls -  there are many more such real life stories and this is SLF’s legacy to young people through sport. 

In all areas, we prioritise working with schools in areas of multiple deprivation (IMD 1-3) where more students than usual are eligible for pupil premium funding (PPF) or have SEND status or are failing to reach national academic standards required of them.  We understand the barriers that can prevent those young people having the opportunity to develop new skills in sport and physical activity. 

## **Strategy for achieving objectives:** 

In our seventh year of operations, SLF’s main strategic objectives have been: 

**1. To improve the lives of young people through the development of key skills in sport and physical activity** 

This is one of our key strategic objectives that form the basis of all our activities.  Our sports coaching programmes, delivered in partnership with all sectors, aim to improve the health, well-being and key skills of young people from disadvantaged communities in the UK and the Caribbean. 

**2. To make sure that all programmes delivered by SLF are of the highest quality and change young people’s lives for the good** 

SLF puts in place evaluation and measurement models to incorporate: 

- Quantitative data. SLF collects pre and post evaluation data based on a series of core questions.  These are based on the sports and general life skills described in Mission and Objectives above but also include tailored questions that reflect the particular programme delivered. 

- Qualitative data.  Feedback is also collected from students themselves after they have finished a particular programme.  This helps guide us in the creation and improvements of future programmes. 

- Data capture relevant to students, teachers and schools where SLF’s programme is delivered. 

## **3. To develop SLF’s offer to schools, national governing bodies, public and private sector funders, academic partners.** 

SLF has attracted grant funding from Sport England, the National Lottery Community Fund, Black Country Consortium, Sportivate, National Express Foundation, Black Country Consortium, Central England Co-operative, the Lawn Tennis Association, the Postcode

Lottery Foundation and private trusts and foundations in our first seven years.  We are also funded by corporate partners Central Co-operative in Birmingham to manage multiple sports facilities and receive in-kind assistance from solicitors Squire Patton Boggs. This support enables SLF to deliver coaching programmes in schools and on local grounds which would otherwise not be possible. 

Whilst direct funding from Multi Academy Trusts (MATs) dwindled between 2020-2024 we are gradually re-establishing the work we do with them from 2024-25. We coach in more than 5 schools in Birmingham and 5 in Bradford Leeds and will increase this offer to a further 20 primary schools in the next year.  Our sports coaching programme _**Sport for Life**_ 

_**International**_ **, ,** developed between 2010 and 2017 before becoming a part of SLF, is well known in Birmingham and the Caribbean and aims to develop key skills in students. 

Following the launch of our new education and coaching resources tool _**Building Character through Sport**_ **(BCtS)** at the Sport for Life Centre in Birmingham in August 2021 (see below), we are delighted now to be working with the Deputy Pro Vice Chancellor, University of Birmingham (UoB) to develop it further.   Aiming for a launch in autumn 2024, BCtS will be tested through Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) initially in Birmingham and Bradford Leeds, 





and then further afield including overseas territories.  Skill drills have now been fully tested, proving their power to change young people’s lives, and include 14 main characteristics:- 

Courage Kindness Respect Curiosity Leadership Self-control Enthusiasm Motivation Social intelligence Gratitude Patience Sports skills Integrity                       Resilience 

To introduce **BCtS** to the wider community, SLF partnered **University of Birmingham (UoB)** developing a podcast series on Spotify ‘ _Conversations on Character: Commonwealth Games Special_ ’ with the Jubilee Centre for Character & Virtues.  Guests included: 

- **Wasim Khan MBE** , General Manager International Cricket Council, 

- **John Crabtree OBE** , Chair Board of Directors Birmingham 2022, 

- **Heather Knight OBE** Captain England cricket team, 

- **Ebony Rainford-Brent MBE** TV/Radio broadcaster & former England cricketer, 

- - **Moeen Ali OBE** , Vice-Captain England cricket team, 

- **Imad, Isah and Zoya,** Students Birmingham, 

- **Jordanne Whiley MBE** , Paralympic Tennis Medallist & Champion

SLF is now planning a book and a second series with UoB. The podcast is available on SPOTIFY on link https://open.spotify.com/show/4dsIg070riLopy6nU3gyXh. 


In the Caribbean, SLF has forged links with tour companies and schools in England & Wales including St Hugh’s Prep School, Oxfordshire, to fundraise prior to their cricket and netball tours to Barbados each year.  St Hugh’s students and families have been incredible over the years and proved key to helping our sister charity Sport for Life Barbados provide mentoring and physical activity to 12-14 year olds year round. 

## **4. To develop indoor sports and education facilities.** 

In addition to the lack of sports and physical activity opportunities, large areas of the UK lack accessible indoor facilities.  The east side of Birmingham and south-east Bradford are two such places and SLF has approached landowners, in particular those with under-used outdoor cricket, football or tennis facilities, to co-develop or upgrade new spaces. 

One such project is now underway with planning permission submitted by Persimmon Homes Central and an SLF partnership agreement agreed with the landlords Central Cooperative, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and National Asian Cricket Council - advisers on South Asian cricket to the England & Wales Cricket Board - and national grant givers. Excellent design advice and ground improvement is forthcoming from the England & Wales Cricket Board. Designs for a combined indoor cricket and tennis facility have been drawn up by Raise Partnership, introduced to us by the LTA, and we have met with local MP Jess Phillips and Sport England to present our plans as well as the England & Wales Cricket Board and Aston Villa Football Club’s Foundation. 

A second will start in 2024 in Bradford with the Lawn Tennis Association and local council support. 

## **5. To develop SLF’s staff and resources** 

Having established a core staff of first-class coaches reporting into the Operations Director, Administration Officer and Chief Executive, SLF is looking to develop numbers and upgrade coaches’ qualifications to include LTA Tennis, FA Football and ECB Cricket at a higher level. All qualifications are upgraded annually, and we ensure that all coaches provide DBS Enhanced checks and attend safeguarding training with guidance from Birmingham City Council. 

We are supported by a professional Financial Advisor and an Office Co-ordinator who work closely with the Chief Executive and SLF accountants.  We are also fortunate to have legal advice provided to us on a low cost basis by international solicitors Squire Patton Boggs.

Sessions took place for more than 250 primary school children, hosted by 4 highly qualified SFLI coaches from the local community with more than 10 years’ experience of working in primary and secondary schools as well as communities in east Birmingham.  Specialist coaching includes 22 skill drills in 3 sports with rewards given for most improved performance. Over the period leading up to and beyond the Commonwealth Games Birmingham 2022, _Building Character through Sport_ ensured that 3 cricket coaches were qualified to coach LTA tennis. 

- In partnership with the Director of the Jubilee Centre for Character & Virtues, University of Birmingham, SLF invited 9 guests, including famous sports stars to participate in the podcast ‘ **Conversations on Character in Sport – Commonwealth Games Special’** supported by the National Asian Cricket Council (NACC) the South Asian Cricket Association (SACA) and the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA). 

## **Events** 

SLF was delighted to have launched _Building Character through Sport_ (BCtS) at its Sports Centre in Birmingham prior to the Commonwealth Games Birmingham 2022. 

To thank those involved in making the partnership possible, guests including Professor Tom Harrison of University of Birmingham, David Grady CFO of B2022, David Chamberlain Trustee SLF, Claire Brown of the LTA and several others attended a lunch at the House of Lords given by Lord Richard Newby OBE, founder of SLF. All agreed to continue their valued assistance to help SLF achieve our aims. 

## **Objectives, Achievement and Performance for the Year** 

## **Chief Activities** 

During the year we delivered the following programmes: 

## **NUMBERS OF YOUNG PEOPLE COACHED** 

## 10 partner organisations 

## 22 schools in our network 

Over 600 hours per annum of on-line and live coaching intervention (7.5 hours a week x 27 weeks)

THE SPORT LEGACY FOUNDATION

Over 1,000 student beneficiaries annually 

## **3. Progress with schools** 

We are gradually increasing the number of schools we work with in Birmingham thereby developing our offer to young people and their communities in Birmingham and in Bradford Leeds. 

Schools were encouraged by our providing on-line video coaching to their students during the pandemic and we continue to build our relationship with Head Teachers, School Games Organisers (SGOs) and PE staff especially in those IMD areas 1-2 where high student numbers qualify for PPF. 

## **CONCLUSION** 

In our first seven years of operations, SLF has worked hard to assist some of the most challenged schools in Birmingham and Bradford to help their young people from primary to secondary level to create opportunities through physical activities and sport.  We have also helped Sport for Life Barbados with significant fundraising and PR over the period thanks to the generosity of independent prep schools in England. 

However, no-one predicted such a crisis as the Covid-19 pandemic nor its impact on young people who could not attend school. We hope our emphasis on building resilience within diverse communities through sport and education has been received well and look forward to working with more partners in the future to create a healthier and more positive environment for all. 

## **PRIORITIES FOR 2024/25** 

SLF will be focussing on the following areas of priority for the coming year: 

## **Expansion in sports and physical activity programmes** 

SLF plans to work closely with more schools in the 2024/25 and expand the number of coaching programmes we deliver during the year whilst always making sure existing programmes are properly run and financed. 

## **Building Character through Sport Educational Resource** 

Produce, launch and distribute Building Character through Sport as an Educational Resource with assistance from University of Birmingham and Multi-Academy chains in Birmingham and Bradford Leeds.  Once accepted and co-developed, launch further afield in England & Wales. 

## **Development of the Sport for Life Centre, Birmingham** 

We have approached national governing bodies of sport funders as well as trusts & foundations and corporate partners to support the development of such an indoor centre

with existing outdoor cricket ground.  We have achieved success in attracting support from Central England Co-operative, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), the National Asian Cricket Council (NACC), the representative body for South Asian cricket to the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Football Association (FA) as well as having initial discussions with The National Lottery Communities Fund. 

Once general planning permission is granted for the site in Birmingham, we will agree funding from our landlords Central Coop and others, submit our own planning application for the Sport for Life Centre and agree partnerships and funding. 

## **Events** 

Depending on when the planning permission for the indoor centre in Birmingham is finally determined by Birmingham City Council, SLF will hold a launch event with corporate, cricket, football and tennis partners as well as press and elite players. 

We will also join University of Birmingham in autumn 2024 as one of their partners to discuss the Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues’ conference for school PE teachers and Heads. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW:** 

## **a. Financial Summary** 

SLF’s seventh financial year has seen trustees embed a long lasting relationship with the LTA Tennis Foundation leading on from the hybrid model of designing, delivering and evaluating on-line video and live tennis coaching programmes in a selection of Birmingham schools. Grant income is enabling us to branch out and to attract match funding for the programmes we develop, from national governing bodies of sport grants, from trusts & foundations and from sports ground management and in 2023/24 we finally saw a rise in revenue for the first time in three years.  This continues to improve, and we feel that 2024-25 will show better results and a greater amount of delivered coaching work with our new **People, Resources and Spaces** strategy to be announced. 

However, the senior management team continues to explore opportunities to manage core costs and try to achieve a cost-effective and transparent way of ensuring that projects are administered and run efficiently.  We also run a continuous programme of seeking excellent coaching staff and upgrading their qualifications in cricket, tennis and football. 

## **b. Reserves Policy** 

Trustees have undertaken to put in place a policy of three months’ operating costs. 

## **c. Support in Kind** 

Over the course of 2023/24 SLF received various in-kind advice and support from the corporate sector including:

## **`INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SPORT LEGACY FOUNDATION GROUP`** 

## **`(“the Group”)`** 

```
I report to the trustees on my examination of the consolidated accounts of the Group
comprising The Sport Legacy Foundation (the charity) and its subsidiary undertaking
for the year ended 31st March 2024.
```

## **`Responsibilities and basis of report`** 

```
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the
consolidated accounts of the Group in accordance with the requirements of the
Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”) and you have chosen to prepare consolidated accounts
for the Group. You are satisfied that the accounts of both the Charity and the Group
are not required by charity law to be audited and you have chosen instead to have an
independent examination.
```

```
I report in respect of my examination of the consolidated accounts carried out under
section 145 of the 2011 Act.  In carrying out my examination I have followed the
Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
```

```
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be
required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor
considers in giving their opinion on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an
audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide.
Consequently, I express no opinion as to whether the consolidated accounts present a
‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the
independent examiner’s statement.
```

## **`Independent examiner’s statement`** 

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

`1. accounting records, with respect of the charity, were not kept as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; and with respect to its subsidiary, were not kept as required by Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; 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: or` 

   `4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102}).` 

```
I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to
enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

                                                                                   Page 5

## **`NOTES TO ACCOUNTS`** 

## **`1. LEGAL STATUS OF CHARITY`** 

```
Sport Legacy Foundation is registered with the Charity Commission in United Kingdom
as a charity.  The charity’s registered number is 1171493.
```

```
The charity is the beneficial owner of 100% of the issued share capital of a trading
subsidiary company, SFL(UK) Ltd.
```

```
SFL(UK) Ltd is registered in England & Wales with company number 8191495.
```

```
These accounts are consolidated to include the results of SFL(UK) Ltd for the year
ended 31st March 2024.
```

## **`2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES`** 

## **`Accounting convention`** 

```
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 1st January, 2015) –
(Charities SORP (FRS 102)) The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charity Act 2011.
```

```
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying
FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
```

```
Sport Legacy Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under
FRS 102.  Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or
transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
```

```
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency
of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the
nearest £.
```

```
The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below:
```

## **`Going Concern`** 

```
       At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable
       expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. The charity has been awarded several new
grants from national governing bodies of sport and contracts with MATs (multi academy
trusts) in Birmingham and Bradford Leeds and support from investment companies.
Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these
financial statements.
```

## **`Income`** 

```
Donations and other forms of voluntary income are recognised as income when
receivable, except insofar as they are incapable of financial measurement.
```

```
Income from other trading activities is recognised when receivable.
```



```
                                                                                   Page 6
```

## **`THE SPORT LEGACY FOUNDATION`** 

## **`NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS`** 

## **`2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)`** 

## **`Expenditure`** 

```
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.
```

```
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred in the delivery of activities
and services for the beneficiaries.
```

```
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of
Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource.  Costs
relating to a particular activity are allocated directly.
```

## **`Fund accounting`** 

```
       Unrestricted funds are donations and other income resources receivable or
       generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose
       and are available as general funds.
```

```
       Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donors.
       Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.  The purposes and
       uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
```

## **`Debtors`** 

```
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.
```

## **`Cash at bank and in hand`** 

```
Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand,
deposits held at call with banks, other short term liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less, and bank overdraft.  Bank overdrafts are shown
within borrowings in current liabilities.
```

## **`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.
```



```
                                                                                   Page 7
```

## **`THE SPORT LEGACY FOUNDATION`** 

## **`NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS`** 

## **`2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)`** 

## **`Financial instruments`** 

```
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial
Instruments and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of
its financial instruments.
```

```
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity’s balance sheet when the charity
becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
```

```
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the
financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
```

## **`Basic financial assets`** 

```
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are
initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are
subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the
arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, when the transaction is measured at
the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
```

## **`Basic financial liabilities`** 

```
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially
recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing
transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future
payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as
payable within one year are not amortised.
```

```
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective
interest rate method.
```

```
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired
in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified
as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are
presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at
transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
```

## **`Employee benefits`** 

```
There were no benefits in kind provided to employees.
```



```
                                                                                  Page 8

YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024

## **`INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SPORT LEGACY FOUNDATION GROUP`** 

## **`(“the Group”)`** 

```
I report to the trustees on my examination of the consolidated accounts of the Group
comprising The Sport Legacy Foundation (the charity) and its subsidiary undertaking
for the year ended 31st March 2024.
```

## **`Responsibilities and basis of report`** 

```
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the
consolidated accounts of the Group in accordance with the requirements of the
Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”) and you have chosen to prepare consolidated accounts
for the Group. You are satisfied that the accounts of both the Charity and the Group
are not required by charity law to be audited and you have chosen instead to have an
independent examination.
```

```
I report in respect of my examination of the consolidated accounts carried out under
section 145 of the 2011 Act.  In carrying out my examination I have followed the
Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
```

```
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be
required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor
considers in giving their opinion on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an
audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide.
Consequently, I express no opinion as to whether the consolidated accounts present a
‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the
independent examiner’s statement.
```

## **`Independent examiner’s statement`** 

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

`1. accounting records, with respect of the charity, were not kept as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; and with respect to its subsidiary, were not kept as required by Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; 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: or` 

   `4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102}).` 

```
I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to
enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

existence for the foreseeable future. The charity has been awarded several new
grants from national governing bodies of sport and contracts with MATs (multi academy
trusts) in Birmingham and Bradford Leeds and support from investment companies.
Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these
financial statements.
```

## **`Income`** 

```
Donations and other forms of voluntary income are recognised as income when
receivable, except insofar as they are incapable of financial measurement.
```

```
Income from other trading activities is recognised when receivable.
```



```
                                                                                   Page 6

## **`NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS`** 

## **`2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)`** 

## **`Expenditure`** 

```
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.
```

```
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred in the delivery of activities
and services for the beneficiaries.
```

```
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of
Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource.  Costs
relating to a particular activity are allocated directly.
```

## **`Fund accounting`** 

```
       Unrestricted funds are donations and other income resources receivable or
       generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose
       and are available as general funds.
```

```
       Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donors.
       Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.  The purposes and
       uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
```

## **`Debtors`** 

```
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.
```

## **`Cash at bank and in hand`** 

```
Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand,
deposits held at call with banks, other short term liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less, and bank overdraft.  Bank overdrafts are shown
within borrowings in current liabilities.
```

## **`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.
```



```
                                                                                   Page 7

## **`THE SPORT LEGACY FOUNDATION`** 

## **`NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS`** 

## **`2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)`** 

## **`Financial instruments`** 

```
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial
Instruments and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of
its financial instruments.
```

```
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity’s balance sheet when the charity
becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
```

```
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the
financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
```

## **`Basic financial assets`** 

```
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are
initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are
subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the
arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, when the transaction is measured at
the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
```

## **`Basic financial liabilities`** 

```
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially
recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing
transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future
payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as
payable within one year are not amortised.
```

```
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective
interest rate method.
```

```
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired
in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified
as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are
presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at
transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
```

## **`Employee benefits`** 

```
There were no benefits in kind provided to employees.
```



```
                                                                                  Page 8

 The charity is raising funds to acquire and redevelop land to build a new community
       sports club. The additions in the year are for architect and legal fees for this
       development. The costs will be depreciated once the structure has been built and is
       available for use and economic benefits will flow to the entity.
