Notts Gymnastics Academy (a company Limited by guarantee) Notts Gymnastics Report of the trustees for the year ending 31 December 2020

2020 Overview

2020 was a year like no other as the impacts of the COVID19 pandemic swept across the country as well as our Academy.

The gym was fully closed on 20° March as the country entered lockdown and we focused on how to manage the impacts on our finances, employees & members.

We were fortunate to have built up some reserves over the past few years which gave us an initial sense of security while we evaluated potential cashflow scenarios & grappled with the unprecedented decisions we had to make. We sought to balance hard financial and softer personal needs; look after our gymnasts & our staff; think about not just tomorrow but also the months ahead. In closing the gym, furloughing al! but our management team & asking for a small, retained fee from our gymnasts we believed that we could keep the Academy ticking over in the weeks/months to come but most importantly have a business that was raring to go when the world returns to normal again

It was not an easy decision to place most of our staff on furlough leave as for many of them the gym is more than just work however without most of our income (from GFA & PS classes) we knew we would be operating at a loss for this period even once we'd cut non-essential spend, received business rates reductions, leisure industry grants and the support from the retained worker’s scheme. To help stay in touch the team met for a virtual social every week, sharing news, playing quizzes & generally looking after one another,

Continuing to deliver content & engagement for our members was key to our plan - seeking to retain as many of our participation members as possible while retaining the physical form of our competitive squads remotely. Our team worked relentlessly to adapt their teaching to a remote (zoom) platform, providing hours of basic strength & flexibility work alongside fun & competitive events to break up the routine.

Throughout our gymnast’s well-being was more important than ever, we further strengthened our independent welfare support with 2 new recruits, continued to survey our parents to seek feedback & specifically considered the emotional impact on our gymnasts of the upheaval in our return to training planning.

During the summer the whole sport was knocked by a series of revelations of poor practise, emotional & physical abuse on the back of a US Documentary “Athlete A”. We were specifically named in the media and have proactively engaged with both the subsequent BG & independent QC investigations.

Under a stringent set of controls set by BG & DCMS our Elite performers were the first to return in June to enable preparations to restart for the now delayed Tokyo Olympics. Then by August we received the all-clear to open our doors more widely once again & our attention turned to the many necessary H&S measures (from extensive cleaning to adjusted physical training & well-being plans) to ensure a safe return for our members.

Notts Gymnastics Academy (a company Limited by Suara ntee)

The sense of relief to be back to some sort of normality was palpable among staff & gymnasts alike and although life was not the same — the value of both the exercise & human interaction provided by our Academy was never more evident. When the November shutdown hit us again, everyone took it much more in their stride, adjusting much more rapidly both in & out of the changes.

For all this unrest there were also some normal personnel changes with both our High-Performance women’s coach and our Head of GFA deciding to move on from NGA. We were pleased to be able to offer advancement from within for one of our Assistant Heads to step up within GFA while recruiting externally for our women’s programme.

Ultimately, we ended the year with a team who were closer & more aligned than ever before. Throughout the numerous challenges they faced they gained greater awareness of each other’s strengths / weaknesses & also came to better understand the broader workings of the Academy. Despite a hole in our finances, we feel we weathered the storm well & are poised to rebound stronger than before.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and | am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ICAEW.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Notes to the financial statements

1 Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015), the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006.

Notts Gymnastics Academy 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 note(s).

The Charity reported a cash inflow of £10,155 for the year. The trustees consider that the charity will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and have prepared the accounts on a going concern basis.

Income

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

Income from government grants and other grants, whether capital grants or revenue grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.

Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the Trust’s work or for specific artistic projects being undertaken by the Trust.

10

Notts Gymnastics Academy (a company Limited by puara ntee)

Notes to the financial statements

Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Operating leases

The charity classifies the lease of printing, specialist lighting and audio equipment as operating leases; the title to the equipment remains with the lessor and the equipment is replaced every 5 years whilst the economic life of such equipment is normally 10 years. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:

Plant, equipment and motor vehicles — 15% Reducing Balance

Stock

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

Debtors

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

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Creditors and provisions

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

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Notes to the financial statements

Pensions

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.

Legal status of the Trust

The Trust is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £5 per member of the charity.
