Trustees' Report (continued)
Chair's Foreword
I want to thank everyone within Cleethorpes Community Sports and Education family for playing their part in a busy and successful year.
We can look back over the last year with pride at the work our amazing team of staff, and volunteers, continue to deliver. Our work is only possible thanks to their incredible support and generous funders and donors to the charity.
After several years of detailed planning the new Sports Centre has now been completed and operational, with an opening event being held in March to celebrate this achievement and showcase the design, facilities and range of new sports and exercise equipment.
At the same time vital and precious work has continued to maintain, develop and increase the range of other services provided, with significant work to develop our physical education and school sports work, youth work sessions and educational activities to provide further or additional support to those who will benefit, supporting our next generation.
With our new Strategy, Cleethorpes Community Sports and Education combines a strong commitment to continue to build on what has been an ambitious and successful year, and to continue to develop its core work delivering vital services for those of all ages.
We have a strong management team under the leadership of Andy Cox and a sense of an impressive commitment to exceed in everything they do. Working with the Board of Trustees, the charity’s structure, governance and management systems have been reviewed to ensure adherence to best practice in charitable leadership and ensure a sufficient balance of skills and experience is in place to support the security and future growth of the charity.
To that end we are fortunate, to welcome three new members to the Board of Trustees who bring different kinds of knowledge and expertise to bear and play a role an important role in our work.
The Board of Trustees truly value everyone’s continued commitment and dedication and thank you everyone involved including our staff, supporters and volunteers, we simply could not do what we do without your commitment, and dedication. We cannot thank you all enough.
A welcome from the Chief Executive
As I reflect on the past year, I’m filled with pride and deep gratitude-for what we’ve accomplished and for the incredible people who have made it possible. Our journey as a charity is shaped by the connections we build, the trust we earn, and the lives we’re able to support along the way.
This year has been nothing short of remarkable. With your continued support, we’ve expanded our reach to over ten thousand people in our local community-creating opportunities, offering support, and making a real difference in people’s lives.
A standout moment for us has been the launch of our new Sports Facility, funded by the Youth Investment Fund. This space is already becoming a hub for young people-a place to be active, to connect with others, and to feel part of something positive. It’s a huge step forward in our mission to provide inclusive, meaningful spaces for all.
None of this would be possible without our incredible team. To our staff and volunteers-thank you. Your passion, hard work, and genuine care are at the heart of everything we do. You bring our vision to life, every single day.
As we look to the future, we remain ambitious and hopeful. We are committed to growing our impact, strengthening our community, and continuing to be a place where people feel seen, supported, and inspired.
Thank you for being part of our journey.

Trustees' Report (continued)
Objectives and activities
During the year, the charity supported a total of 10,989 people through its programmes delivered both within the centre and out in the community. Our activities were wide-ranging and aimed at engaging people of all ages, with particular focus on children and young people.
-
5,918 people took part in community-based activities.
-
1,782 people engaged in exercise and sport sessions.
-
3,289 individuals benefited from education and school-based initiatives.
The reach across age groups demonstrates our broad community impact:
-
41% were children aged 0-12,
-
23% were young people aged 13-18,
-
6% were young adults aged 19-24,
-
10% were adults aged 25-34,
-
18% were adults aged 35-64, and
-
2% were older adults aged 65+.
This reflects the charity’s continued commitment to supporting the widest possible community, with a strong emphasis on early years and youth engagement, while also providing opportunities for adults and older people to benefit from our programmes.
Understanding our impact
At the heart of our work is a commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. To ensure we are achieving this, we actively measure and evaluate the impact of our programmes and services. Through regular feedback, data collection, and outcome tracking, we gain valuable insights into what’s working, where we can improve, and how we can grow. This process not only helps us remain accountable to our community and stakeholders, but also ensures that our efforts continue to create positive, lasting change.

Trustees' Report (continued)
Our strategy
In September 2023, we launched a community consultation campaign to engage with local residents and gather valuable insights. We actively sought input from a wide range of people, including service users, local residents, young people, older adults, individuals with disabilities, ethnic minority communities, and other underrepresented groups. We also engaged with local organisations, schools, health professionals, and our own staff and volunteers to ensure a well-rounded view. The feedback we received played a crucial role in shaping our new charitable objectives and guided the development of our three-year strategy. Finalised in mid-2024, the strategy began rolling out in September 2024-marking an exciting new chapter for our organisation.
Our 2024-2027 key strategies are:
1. Community Impact
We have recently developed a new administration system that serves as a central hub for collecting and managing information about our service users and the areas in which we operate. Although the system is still in its early stages, it is already proving to be a valuable resource.
The platform enables us to communicate effectively with service users, manage attendance at our activities, and monitor key data to assess our impact. This information is playing a crucial role in supporting both day-to-day operations and strategic planning by informing decision-making and helping us refine our processes.
Our senior leadership team is now producing quarterly reports to track our progress and measure the impact of our work. These reports are presented to the Trustee Board for further analysis and oversight. Additionally, we use the insights gained to inform our partners and funders about the outcomes and effectiveness of our services
2. Financial Sustainability
Our current strategy focuses on aligning our charitable objectives with sustainable income-generating opportunities. This approach is aimed at reducing our reliance on grant funding and enabling us to become more financially self-sufficient. While grant funding has played a significant role in supporting our growth and projects in previous years, we are now actively working with new partners and expanding our support pathways to strengthen our financial resilience.
We have identified three key areas for income generation:
1. Facility hire
-
Education provision
-
Developing a new multi-use community space for functions and events
This year, we have significantly enhanced our education offering through partnerships with organisations such as the local education authority and NET UK (National Employer Training). Our education provision not only meets local needs by increasing access to training and courses but also generates consistent income that contributes to our operational costs.
Unfortunately, our efforts to secure grant funding or donations for the renovation of our community space have not been successful this year. Despite submitting applications to several funders, including FCC Communities Foundation and Biffa, we were unsuccessful. Identifying funding opportunities that align with our project criteria continues to be a challenge. However, we remain optimistic that new funding streams will become available in the near future.
3. Partners & External Profile
We have maintained a strong presence at a variety of events and gatherings within the community this year. These have included community fairs, sector-wide meetings involving voluntary and community organisations, and events supporting local businesses.

Cleethorpes Community Sports and Education CIO
Trustees' Report (continued)
One notable event was our participation in a professional networking session hosted by Making it Real at Centre4, which focused on showcasing health and social care support services in the area. The event welcomed families from across North East Lincolnshire and provided an excellent opportunity to engage with new people and promote our services.
Our team also attended a meeting with the North East Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum (NELPCF) to discuss our current provision and explore ways to support members of their network more effectively.
We are proud to share that we have been selected as the chosen charity for the 2025 Ørsted Family Fun Run, organised by Tape2Tape. Our volunteers supported the event by helping with marshalling duties, which provided valuable exposure for our organisation and a generous donation raised through participant entry fees. The event was also an excellent platform to share information and distribute our promotional materials.
This year, we’ve also established several new partnerships with local organisations and schools:
• We are offering enhanced support packages to pupils at St. James School through our Fresh Start Education programme.
• We are delivering Physical Education and sports provision at Waltham Leas Primary Academy, five days a week.
• Thrive NEL, based at Centre4 in Grimsby, has referred a number of individuals to our Seated Exercise programme following regular engagement at their meetings.
• Our collaboration with Inspire Youth Theatre has expanded, allowing us to provide free access to theatre classes for children and young people twice weekly.
• Fudoshin Karate has begun hiring our space weekly to offer karate and self-defence classes for all age groups.
These partnerships and community engagements are strengthening our presence locally and enhancing the services we provide to those who need them most.
4. Education and Employability
Our aim is to provide accessible opportunities that address common barriers to education, helping to ensure that learning is available to all. We offer a broad and responsive education provision that reflects the diverse needs of our community.
Through a partnership with TEC Partnership, we now offer over fifty fully accredited online courses. These include Adult Social Care, Nutrition and Health, Counselling Skills, and Mental Health training-supporting both personal development and career progression.
Locally, we are delivering sports and physical education in eight schools, allowing us to support pupils' wellbeing while also building connections with new individuals and communities as part of our wider outreach strategy.
We continue to offer alternative provision for school-aged pupils who may find mainstream education challenging. These tailored programmes provide a supportive environment that better meets the individual needs of each learner. We deliver this provision in partnership with the local education authority and several schools across the region.
Our adult learning programmes remain popular, with strong engagement in English and Mathematics courses, the Shoots of Hope gardening group, and our community cooking classes. These initiatives offer not only educational value but also important social and wellbeing benefits.
We are equally committed to the development of our staff and volunteers. This year, our team has participated in two internal training days, complemented by role-specific mentoring, one-to-one support, and training delivered by line managers. In addition, all staff members have completed an annual appraisal-helping us to identify training needs and areas for further professional development across the organisation.
5. Development of Estate
Since relocating to the former Trin Youth Centre site in October 2018, we have invested over £3 million in improvements to the estate. Our development follows a phased plan that aligns with both the needs of our community and the objectives of our charity, while also placing a strong focus on reducing our carbon impact.

Cleethorpes Community Sports and Education CIO
Trustees' Report (continued)
As part of our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility, we recently participated in a comprehensive audit of our site and operational practices. The aim was to identify areas where we could reduce our carbon footprint and operate more sustainably. While we await the full report, we have already begun implementing several early-stage improvements based on initial recommendations.
We are actively seeking support from grant funders to assist with the capital improvements required for our community building. This is a substantial, long-term project, which we anticipate will take between three and five years to fully develop and complete.
Partnership work
We recognise that partnership working is fundamental to our success. Collaborating with a wide range of organisations allows us to extend our reach, enhance our impact, and deliver more comprehensive support to our community.
Each partner brings unique skills, expertise, and resources that complement our own-whether that’s specialist knowledge, access to new audiences, or shared goals that strengthen our collective work.
Our partners support us in various ways, including co-delivering services, referring individuals into our programmes, offering professional advice, or helping us design more responsive and inclusive projects. These collaborative efforts not only improve the quality and breadth of our work but also foster innovation and sustainability across the sector.
By working together, we can avoid duplication, build stronger networks of support, and ensure that our community receives the right help, from the right people, at the right time.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Use of volunteers
Our fantastic team of volunteers contributed an incredible 988 hours over the past year. These hours are directly linked to the delivery of our charity’s activities and services, excluding time given by our Trustee board and sports teams.
These voluntary hours are estimated to have saved the organisation approximately £13,832 in staffing costs—demonstrating the immense value and impact of our volunteers’ contributions.
Sport plays a key role in the work we do in the community, and our boxing, football, and netball teams are a big part of that. Each club is managed by volunteer committees and supported by volunteer coaches, whose dedication helps us provide consistent, high-quality opportunities for people to stay active, connected, and engaged.
We are currently developing a new volunteer programme aimed at supporting individuals through targeted training and development. The programme will equip participants with the essential skills and knowledge needed to become confident, capable, and effective volunteers.
Our goal is to create meaningful opportunities that benefit the community while also supporting personal growth and enhancing employability. In addition, the programme will offer value to local organisations by providing access to a pool of trained, skilled volunteers who are ready to contribute and make a difference.

Achievements and performance
SEND Award
We were honoured to attend the North East Lincolnshire SEND Awards evening, where we were proudly presented with the SEND Friendly Business Award. This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to the SEND community and our efforts to ensure that our provision remains inclusive and accessible to all.
Apprentice of the Year
Congratulations to our Apprentice Sports Coach, Grace Stephenson, who has been awarded Apprentice of the Year by our apprenticeship provider, Inspire+!
Since joining us in September, Grace has worked alongside our Sports Coaches in schools, delivered Saturday Netball sessions, and taken the lead on our Trin Tots Gym and Movement classes. She’s also supported a number of other projects and has truly embraced her role here at The Trin.
In addition to her practical work, Grace has been studying the theory of PE and sports delivery with Inspire+ tutors, who recognised her dedication and outstanding progress. Grace received her certificate this evening and is pictured here with our Sports Manager, Paul Weeks, and Operations Manager, Ray Blain, who have both mentored her throughout her apprenticeship.
Royal Invite
Our CEO, Andy, was honoured to attend the King's Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, accompanied by his wife, Gemma. He was invited in recognition of his outstanding service and dedication to community work in North East Lincolnshire. The event served as a celebration of the vital community efforts taking place across the country, highlighting the positive impact of organisations and individuals nationwide.
Sports Centre
In January 2023 we received confirmation that we had been successful in our Youth Investment Fund application to fund a brand-new Sports Facility. The facility has been part of our plans for some time after consulting with local young people in our area even before we moved into the site in 2018.
The facility was opened by the former chair of the Youth Committee Oliver Scott on Saturday 29th March 2025. Oliver had been part of the planning throughout the process which involved representing young people in our area putting ideas together, meeting with builders and helping with the design.
The Sports Centre boasts a large boxing gym with three competition rings, a sports studio, a fully equipped fitness suite, classrooms, changing and shower facilities, treatment rooms and offices.
We aim to attract over one thousand young people to the facility every week and build on our already established youth provision. This building will enable us to offer support for sport, health and wellbeing whilst space in the community building will be freed up to develop further community work and youth work.
The money raised for equipment had come from projects with the Police Crime Commissioner, Sport England and kind donations from a Crowdfunding campaign.

Youth Work
We provide 21 hours of free youth provision every week. This year, we successfully completed a standards check with the National Youth Agency (NYA), and we’re proud to have received our certificate of recognition.
We offer a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where young people can engage in positive activities, build confidence, and develop new skills. Through a mix of sport, creative workshops, wellbeing sessions, and educational support, we aim to inspire and empower local youth to reach their full potential. Our dedicated team works closely with young people to provide meaningfulexperiences, mentorship, and opportunities that promote personal growth, resilience, and a strong sense of community.
We are committed to ensuring that the four cornerstones of youth work remain central to our approach: Participation and empowerment, voluntary engagement, personal and social education, and equality of opportunity.
Our Youth Sessions Include:
Cooking Classes - Learn how to prepare healthy, fun, and budget-friendly meals. Performing Arts - Explore dance, music, and drama in a creative and supportive environment. Open Access Youth Clubs - Safe and welcoming spaces for young people to socialize, relax, and engage in positive activities.
Sports & Fitness Activities - From football to gym sessions, we promote active and healthy lifestyles. SEND-Specialised Groups - Inclusive sessions tailored to support young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
Life Skills Training - Develop key skills such as communication, leadership, and emotional resilience. Mentorship & Support Groups - One-on-one and group mentoring to build confidence and offer guidance. Study Clubs - Quiet, focused environments with support for homework and academic progress. Gaming Club - A fun, social space for young people to connect through video and board games. Music Production & Gaming Workshops - Hands-on sessions exploring beat-making, digital music tools, and interactive music design.
31 of our young people have achieved training and qualifications in three areas: • Cooking
• Sports Leadership
• First Aid
Holiday Clubs
We run school holiday clubs throughout the year to support families with childcare during school breaks. Our clubs offer a wide range of engaging activities, as well as organised trips to popular destinations such as cinemas, play centres, farms, outdoor adventure sites, and gaming arcades. These programmes provide children with fun, enriching experiences while giving families valuable support during the holidays.
We received Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) funding for the Easter, Summer, and Christmas breaks, which enabled us to cover the costs of delivery and offer our programmes free of charge to eligible children. During these periods, we provide up to 100 places each day for children from the local area to take part in our activities.
Each day includes a session of physical activity, an educational component, and a fun, engaging activity, along with a nutritious meal to ensure every child’s needs are met. This programme plays a vital role in supporting families during the school holidays by promoting wellbeing, learning, and healthy lifestyles.
1,530 children and young people attended our school holiday clubs this year.

Cleethorpes Community Sports and Education CIO Trustees' Report (continued)
Saturday Sports Club
Our Saturday morning sports club offers a variety of activities designed for children and young people to enjoy. These community-based sessions include boxing, football, and netball, all aimed at introducing participants to fun, inclusive, and engaging physical activity in a supportive environment.
Each Saturday, we regularly welcome over 100 young people to take part in our activities.
Many of our coaches are also qualified youth workers, creating valuable opportunities to build positive relationships that extend beyond the teaching of sports skills.
For those who wish to progress in sport and participate in a more competitive environment, we offer a clear pathway for further development and training. Children have the opportunity to advance through teams associated with our organisation or be supported in joining other local clubs, helping them continue their sporting journey.
Adult Cook Club
We run weekly community cooking classes for adults, focused on teaching the essential skill of preparing low-cost, balanced family meals that can easily be recreated at home. Whenever possible, we incorporate fresh ingredients grown in our community garden to complement the sessions and demonstrate the full journey from garden to fork. This hands-on approach not only promotes healthy eating but also supports sustainable living and food education within the community.
These classes are completely free of charge, and we often receive additional financial support that allows us to provide participants with essential cooking equipment to take home. This ensures they are able to continue practicing their new skills and preparing healthy meals for their families beyond the sessions.
We periodically partner with other organisations to deliver tailored courses for targeted groups, including adults with additional needs and vulnerable individuals. These collaborations enable us to extend our reach and provide specialised support where it is most needed.
Shoots of Hope Community Garden
Our Shoots of Hope Community Garden project began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a safe and positive way for people to connect outdoors. Five years on, the project continues to go from strength to strength, with growing participation and more people experiencing its many benefits.
The aim of the Shoots of Hope Community Garden group is to bring people together in a supportive, outdoor environment where they can connect, grow fresh produce, learn new skills, and improve their wellbeing through shared activity and community engagement.
In addition to their regular weekly meetings, the Shoots of Hope Community Garden group often organises events to raise vital funds and keep the project thriving. One of the standout moments this year was the 1940s-themed afternoon tea event - a truly wonderful afternoon filled with entertainment, dancing, games, bingo, and, of course, a delicious afternoon tea!
A huge thank you to Sharron and her team for their incredible efforts in planning and running the event. They even managed to sell out of all their homemade jams, hanging baskets, and planters - a fantastic achievement! Thank you to everyone who came along and supported the day.
Seated and Gentle Exercise Class
Our seated and gentle exercise programme is designed to support people living with Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, other neurological conditions, and anyone who experiences challenges with mobility. The sessions focus on improving strength, balance, and overall wellbeing in a safe and supportive environment.
The programme is proudly supported by Parkinson’s UK, with the aim of helping participants stay active - both those living with neurological conditions and their family carers. It provides a welcoming space to move, connect, and support one another through gentle, accessible exercise.
The group also offers many social benefits, with members often meeting outside of the regular sessions for events such as Christmas parties and birthday celebrations. These gatherings help build friendships, reduce isolation, and create a strong sense of community.

Trustees' Report (continued)
One of our oldest and most cherished members, Dougie, celebrated his 100th birthday this year. To mark the special occasion, members of the group and staff visited him at the care home where he was being looked after. It was a heartfelt moment that reflected the strong bonds and lasting friendships formed through the group.
Sadly, just a few weeks later, Dougie passed away. His warmth, humour, and presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him. We are grateful for the time shared and the memories made, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
Cleethorpes Trinity Football Club
Our grassroots football club is proudly run by a dedicated committee of volunteers, all committed to providing children and adults with the opportunity to play and enjoy football. Each team is supported by its own sub-committee, made up of passionate individuals who manage their squads with care and enthusiasm.
These volunteers selflessly give up their time to support the players, helping to create a positive, inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Their dedication ensures that our players have access to the best possible experiences-competing in local leagues and having the chance to take part in tournaments further afield. Our club is more than just football-it's about community, teamwork, and creating lasting memories both on and off the pitch.
Under 8's
The Under 8’s, managed by Kris Hoskins and Jam McKeon have had an exciting season in the Crofts Estate Agents League across North East Lincolnshire. They started with 5-a-side in the U8 developmental league and transitioned to 7-a-side in the U9 league for greater challenges.
Season Highlights:
• Transitioned to playing a year above their age group and played comfortably and confidently. They are staying up a year for the season ahead.
• Already participated in several tournaments as league matches ended in April, including a two-day event in Blackpool where all players and families stayed at the same caravan park and winning the RT Tours Lincolnshire Football Festival, another 2 day tournament.
• Established a possession-based playing style, earning compliments from spectators, opponents and Professional Club Scouts.
• Maintained an unbeaten run in the U8s league before Christmas and succeeded in the winter futsal league.
- Welcomed new players Noah and Elvan, while Samuel Whitehead is moving to Grimsby Town Academy.
• Have won 4 competitions over the season.
Under 15's
The Under 15's team, managed by Nathan Stanard and Josh Dellow, had an eventful 2024/25 season in the Mid Lincs B League. They finished in 4th place with a record of 4 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses.
One of the standout moments of their league campaign was their impressive 3-1 victory over the top team, Lindum Hawks. This victory was a highlight for the team and showcased their potential.
In addition to their league matches, the Under 15's enjoyed playing numerous friendly matches against teams from Sheffield, Epworth, and Retford. These friendlies provided valuable experience and helped the team to develop their skills further. The team also had a successful run in the league cup, reaching the semi-finals. Their participation in the Futsal league added another dimension to their season, allowing them to hone their skills in a different format of the game.
The Under 15's have a great team of players and have received fantastic support from their parents and sponsors throughout the season. This support has been instrumental in their development and success.
Under 16's
The Under 16's team, under the management of Rob Sanders, had a commendable season in the Mid Lincs A League, securing a 2nd place finish in the table. Their impressive record included 15 wins, 1 draw, and only 2 losses.
A standout moment of the season was their remarkable comeback in a match against Woodhall Spa, showcasing their resilience and determination. Additionally, their pre-season was marked by victories in friendly matches against older teams, setting a positive tone for the season.

Trustees' Report (continued)
Overall, the team enjoyed a successful and fulfilling season, demonstrating their growth and potential and are proudly supported by their parents and sponsors.
Under 18's
The Under 18's team, managed by Dean Boon, competed in the Lincolnshire Intermediate Football League and secured a 6th place finish. Their season record included 4 wins, 2 draws, and 8 losses.
A highlight of their season was the thrilling comeback in their first game, where they triumphed over Appleby Frodingham. Dean has commented that the joy and excitement on the lads' faces were truly priceless.
Overall, the Under 18's had a season filled with challenges and memorable moments, showcasing their determination and team spirit.
Cleethorpes Trinity Boxing Academy
Kirsty Hill successfully defended her Commonwealth title in Blackpool, securing a major victory over WBF World Champion and former WBC World Champion Fatuma Zarika, who was ranked number 5 in the world. The impressive win has boosted Kirsty’s world ranking to number 9.
After reaching the National Schools Finals, Austin Muir was selected to represent England at the Tri-Nations tournament held in Nottingham. He narrowly missed out on a place in the final, losing by a split decision to the reigning national champion.
After two impressive victories in the National Development Championships to claim the regional title, Lewis Fox-Berry was honoured as the Best East Midlands Boxer of the tournament.
Our new facility is now open, and we’re already seeing record attendance across recreation, education, and competitive programs.
Both our gentle exercise groups and youth programmes are thriving in the new facilities, with participants making full use of the upgraded space.
Cleethorpes Trinity Netball Club
This season brought its fair share of challenges for the Trinity Ladies, with several key players stepping back due to work and family commitments. As a result, the team had to regularly search for guest players to fill the gaps-a tough start, as we hadn’t yet built strong connections or developed an understanding of each other’s playing styles.
However, week by week, things began to turn around. We welcomed some fantastic new signings who have slotted in beautifully with the original squad. Their energy and commitment helped the team grow both on and off the court, forming strong bonds and building a positive team spirit.
Despite the ups and downs throughout the season, we proudly finished 6th in the league. With improved cohesion, growing commitment, and increased training efforts, the team is beginning to solidify-and with that, we truly believe the only way is up.
Season Highlights: Umpiring Success:
Congratulations to both Lisa and Aimee, who worked hard to achieve their Into Officiating Umpiring Award. They are now qualified to officiate GDSNL games and tournaments, including away fixtures-a fantastic achievement and a big asset to the team.
Mixed Tournament Fun:
Half the team took part in a mixed tournament, playing alongside men in a fun-filled day that helped raise money for charity. Competing with teams of all levels, they held their own and finished 4th in their group. It was a brilliant day of netball and new friendships were formed.

A huge shoutout to Aimee Wilson, who was voted Division 3 Winter Players' Player and the Overall Winter Players' Player across all divisions-a well-deserved honour that reflects her dedication and performance.
Trinity Ladies is a fantastic team made up of women from all walks of life, across various age groups and backgrounds. This diversity is our strength, and our shared determination is what will take us forward. With commitment, training, and unity, we’re excited to see where the next season takes us!

Trustees' Report (continued)
TOTS Gymnastics
Our Tots Gymnastics sessions are parent-and-toddler classes designed to help toddlers develop key motor skills that will support them as they prepare for preschool.
Children are encouraged to run, jump, roll, swing, and crawl in a fun, safe, and supportive environment-building confidence, coordination, and physical development through play.
Community Gym
We offer a community gym designed to provide low-cost-and at times, free-programmes to ensure accessibility for everyone.
We understand that many people would like to use a gym but may find commercial gym environments challenging. That’s why we’ve created a welcoming, inclusive space where individuals can feel comfortable getting active at their own pace.
Parkour
There are some activities and sports that require specialist skills we don't currently have in-house. When this is the case, we partner with external organisations-such as Team Reality, who deliver Parkour sessions for our youth groups during holiday clubs.
These partnerships allow us to offer a wider range of exciting and engaging opportunities for our young people.
Support Services
Our support extends beyond activities and programmes. At The Trin, we provide a range of essential services to help meet the basic needs of our community, particularly during the ongoing cost of living crisis. These services include our Baby Bank, offering vital supplies for families with young children; the Hygiene Bank, providing personal care items for those in need; and our role as a Poo Bag Partner, helping local pet owners access free waste bags to support cleaner, more responsible communities. Through these initiatives, we aim to ease everyday pressures and ensure dignity and support for all.
Hygiene Bank
Our Hygiene Bank provides essential personal care items such as toiletries, sanitary products, and hygiene supplies to individuals and families facing financial hardship. By offering these everyday essentials, we help support dignity, health, and wellbeing within our community.
Baby Bank
Our Baby Bank supports families with young children by providing essential items such as nappies, baby wipes, formula, clothing, and other baby necessities. We understand the pressures that come with raising a child, especially during financially challenging times, and aim to ease that burden by ensuring families have access to the basics their little ones need.
Poo Bag Bank
As a proud Poo Bag Partner, we provide free dog waste bags to local pet owners to help promote cleaner streets and responsible pet ownership. This simple but important service supports both pet owners and the wider community by encouraging hygiene, respect for shared spaces, and a cleaner local environment.
Warm Space
We are proud to be part of the Warm Space initiative, offering a safe and welcoming environment where people can enjoy a hot drink, something to eat, and the opportunity to connect with others. It’s a space for warmth, comfort, and community-open to anyone in need of support or companionship.
Foster Friendly Business
We have joined the Foster Friendly Business initiative, which was set up to support employees who are foster carers or are considering fostering, by offering greater flexibility, understanding, and practical assistance in the workplace.

Trustees' Report (continued)
SEND Services
We are committed to ensuring that our provision is accessible to everyone and work hard to adapt each session to meet individual needs. We regularly support participants who require additional assistance and our staff are trained to make necessary adjustments, offering alternative approaches to ensure full inclusion and engagement.
Alternatively, we offer a range of dedicated activities specifically for individuals with SEND, providing a safe and welcoming environment where participants can enjoy our services with the support of additional staff. These tailored sessions are designed to ensure that everyone feels included, valued, and able to participate at their own pace.
SEND Junior Sports
Our weekly SEND sessions are specifically designed to encourage children to get physically active through engaging sports and movement-based activities. These sessions focus on developing key skills such as balance, coordination, throwing, catching, crawling, and overall body movement in a supportive and inclusive environment.
SEND Adult Cook Club
This year, we have delivered several cooking classes aimed at targeted groups who want to develop an important life skill. For some participants, this has been part of their transition from supported care to independent living-making cooking a vital area of learning. Our experienced cooks guide participants through kitchen safety, food hygiene, and basic cooking skills, helping to build confidence and independence in the kitchen.
Thursday Inclusive Sports Club
Our Thursday Inclusive Sports Club is designed for adults who want to get active and enjoy a variety of sports and exercises in a welcoming environment.
Activities include boccia, indoor archery, table cricket, indoor bowls, and circuit training. Each two-hour session also features fun extras like quizzes and games, making it a great way to stay active, social, and engaged.
Outreach Programmes
Exercise in care homes:
As part of our commitment to the wider community and our dedication to ensuring that all our services are inclusive and accessible, we offer chair-based exercise classes not only at our centre but also within residential settings. This approach allows us to reach individuals who may face mobility or transport barriers, ensuring they too can benefit from safe, supportive physical activity
Pier Gardens Regeneration Project:
We are proud to support North East Lincolnshire Council in the regeneration of Cleethorpes Pier Gardens and Market Place, following the awarding of an £18.4 million Levelling Up Fund for the resort.
Our staff have actively engaged and consulted with young people across the borough to design and develop a series of outdoor rooms and leisure spaces, intended for a wide range of recreational activities.
Our goal is to ensure that the voices of local children are heard and incorporated throughout the regeneration programme. To achieve this, we have participated in several outreach projects and local engagement sessions at the centre, contributing to the successful delivery of this transformative initiative.
SEND School Holiday Provision:
With limited local provision for school holiday clubs for children with SEND, we partnered with Cambridge Park School to run a dedicated summer programme.
Using the school’s facilities, our team of qualified staff delivered a fully comprehensive schedule of activities, games, and sports tailored to the children’s needs.
The feedback from parents was overwhelmingly positive, and we’re proud to have provided such a meaningful and inclusive experience

Trustees' Report (continued)
Events and Celebrations
Throughout the year, we host and support a variety of events and celebrations. We recognize that these occasions bring people together for many different reasons, and we value the sense of community and connection they create.
For Halloween, we organized a range of themed activities, including a special school holiday club. The children took part in spooky craft sessions like making scary faces, a fancy dress competition where they designed their own costumes, and a variety of Halloween-themed games and sports.
For this year’s Children in Need event, our junior youth club enjoyed a fantastic range of activities, including quizzes, bingo, games, crafts, ‘Spot the Pudsey’, and so much more-all in support of a great cause. We’re proud to be part of BBC Children in Need and the positive difference it makes.
Later in the evening, our senior session welcomed officers from Humberside Police - North East Lincolnshire, who delivered an insightful and important workshop on knife crime. We hope our young people took away valuable lessons from the discussion. An absolutely brilliant night with over 120 young people coming through our doors-thank you to everyone who took part!
Christmas is always a busy time in our calendar, and this year was no exception! Each of our groups got involved by organising their own festive events. We welcomed Santa to our youth groups, enjoyed wonderful performances from our Performing Arts group at a local care home, hosted Christmas-themed sessions with our SEND groups, and got creative in the kitchen with festive baking in our Cook Club. We also held a special Christmas party for our Parkinson’s Seated Exercise group. It was a joyful and heartwarming season for everyone involved!
The Trin Awards
The Trin Awards is our annual celebration recognising the outstanding achievements within Cleethorpes Community Sports & Education. It serves as a time of reflection, appreciation, and inspiration, where we honour the individuals and groups who go above and beyond to make a positive impact in our community. From dedicated volunteers and hardworking participants to inspiring youth and community leaders, the Trin Awards shine a light on those who truly embody the values and spirit of our charity.
We’re proud to present seven award categories as part of this year’s Trin Awards, each recognising a unique contribution to our charity and community.
Community Award - Celebrating outstanding impact within the local community Sports Award - Recognising dedication, achievement, and inspiration in sport Education Award - Honouring growth, learning, and progress in education Member Award - Highlighting a participant who truly stands out Volunteer Award - Acknowledging the invaluable efforts of our volunteers Services Award - Commending behind-the-scenes work that keeps us running Trustees Award - A special recognition chosen by our Trustees for exceptional contribution
Grant Funding
As a charity, we are committed to ensuring that our provision and support remain accessible and affordable for everyone. To achieve this, we often rely on financial support to help cover our running costs, allowing us to offer services either at a low cost or free of charge to those who need them most. We are incredibly grateful to our funding partners, whose continued support enables us to serve our community to the highest standard.
Youth Investment Fund:
Thanks to support from the Youth Investment Fund, a brand-new sports facility for young people has been established at our site.
Construction of the facility commenced in March 2024 and was successfully completed in time for the official opening in March 2025.
A grant of just over £2.7 million from the Youth Investment Fund was secured to support the delivery of this project.

Trustees' Report (continued)
Community Fund:
The National Lottery has supported us with two significant projects. Our Reaching Communities initiative focuses on three key areas: education, upskilling our community, and promoting healthy lifestyles. This project is community-led and designed to enrich lives by providing meaningful opportunities that are shaped by the people it serves.
The second project is funded by the Million Hours Fund, which supports our youth-focused initiatives and activities. This work forms part of our wider outreach programme, specifically targeting the Heneage and East Marsh areas of North East Lincolnshire. Since the project’s inception, we have delivered a total of 562 hours of free youth work, providing valuable support and engagement opportunities for young people in the community.
BBC Children in Need:
Children in Need supports our youth provision, enabling us to offer young people meaningful opportunities, enhance their employability, and inspire them to reach their full potential. This funding allows us to deliver school holiday clubs, ongoing youth work sessions, and vital support services, including mental health and therapeutic interventions.
PCC Community Safety Fund:
The PCC Community Safety Fund has played a pivotal role in enabling us to provide diversionary activities for young people. As a result of this project, we have been able to demonstrate a measurable reduction in anti-social behaviour within our local area.
Garfield Weston Trust:
The Garfield Weston Trust has continued its support for a second year, contributing to our community projects focused on social inclusion, support groups, and educational provision
UK Shared Prosperity Fund: The UK Shared Prosperity Fund has enabled us to purchase essential equipment for our community gym, which will serve the wider community. This support has allowed us to make the facility accessible to all, through low-cost membership options and targeted programmes that offer free access for those who need it most.
Physically Active Grant:
The Parkinson’s Physically Active Grant has enabled us to deliver gentle exercise classes tailored for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease, other neurological conditions, and those with limited mobility. The group also offers valuable support to family members and carers, recognising the ongoing challenges they face in caring for a loved one.
Tesco Stronger Start:
The Tesco Stronger Start programme begins with their in-store blue token scheme, which invites customers to vote for local organisations competing for funding.
Although we did not secure the top position, we were awarded a scaled-down grant that enabled us to purchase food and drink for our youth provision. With many of the young people who attend our programmes facing food insecurity, this support has been vital in ensuring their basic needs are met while they engage in our services.
Sport England Movement Fund:
The Sport England Movement Fund has enabled us to launch our boxing engagement project. The primary aim of this programme is to involve young people in a positive, structured activity that supports those with additional needs and helps equip disengaged individuals with valuable life skills.

Cleethorpes Community Sports and Education CIO Trustees' Report (continued)
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
Selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must provide full disclosure of interests, have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
The charity normally recruits trustees based on the gaps in skill identified by the trustee board.

The charity trustees will make available to each new charity trustee, on or before his or her first appointment:
(a) a copy of the current version of this constitution; and (b) a copy of the CIO’s latest Trustees’ Annual Report and statement of accounts
(c) copies of all policies and procedures
(d) formal training by the General Manager of expectations.
Arrangements for setting key management personnel remuneration
The responsibility for the setting of the Chief Executive's remuneration rests with the Chairman and the Board of Trustees. Remuneration for other key management personnel is the responsibility of the Chief Executive and formally approved by the Board of Trustees.
Organisational structure
The charity has a structure of: Trustees – Executive Director – Operations Manager – Duty Managers - Administration – Program Leaders – Programme Assistants.
Financial review
The charity made an unrestricted surplus during the year ending 31 March 2025 of £181,204 (2024: £78,659) and a restricted surplus of £2,279,968 (2024: £404,264). For the year ended 31 March 2025 unrestricted reserves stood at £319,513 (2024: £138,309). For the year ended 31 March 2025 restricted reserves stood at £2,719,757 (2024: £439,789).
Free reserves, excluding restricted funds and tangible and intangible fixed assets stood at £297,296 (2024: £97,482) giving an in year surplus on free reserves of £199,814.
The charity does not believe that ‘holding reserves is unnecessary’. Such a position would not allow the charity to successful mitigate any identified risks. Hence the position outlined above.
The charity is not in a deficit situation.
We generate income from subscriptions to access activities, facility hire, partnership work through the local education authorities, schools and colleges and also from fundraising through campaigns such as crowdfunding and events.
Our Investment Policy, including Objectives, and key performance indicators have been developed and ‘signed-off’ / approved Quarter 4 2024/2025.
The ongoing risks facing the charity are:
Local: Increased demand due to previously identified social, health and economic reasons and the risk is can we upscale capacity in a timely fashion.
Regional: Limited regional grants available. This could limit the resource the charity could apply for.
National: Availability of grants. Change in Government Policy.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Cleethorpes Community Sports and Education CIO
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Cleethorpes Community Sports and Education CIO (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, 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 United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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.
The previous year figures have not been audited.
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 charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were 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 annual report, 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.

Cleethorpes Community Sports and Education CIO
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Cleethorpes Community Sports and Education CIO (continued)
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Report) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities (set out on page 20), the trustees 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance held.
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made within significant accounting estimates and judgements such as depreciation.
-
Identification of key laws and regulations central to the charities operations and review of compliance with such laws including a review of Charities Commission website.
-
Testing of journal entries and potential override of systems.
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. The 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 concealement, forgery collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available 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 charity trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those matters we are required to state to trustees in an auditors' 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 charity and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Cleethorpes Community Sports and Education CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling and have been rounded to the nearest pound.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Deferred income
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Other trading activities
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.
Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. They are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation
Amortisation is provided on intangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Amortisation method and rate Intangible Asset 20% Straight Line
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
| Asset class | Depreciation method and rate |
|---|---|
| Fixtures, fittings and equipments | 10 - 20% Straight Line |
| Motor vehicles | 20% Straight Line |
| Computer equipment | 20% Straight Line |

Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
