A welcome from the Chair

It’s been 12 months of growing, building and investing in the global charity as it prepares to embark on an ambitious fi ve year strategy to become recognisably world-class, and reach more of the people who need it the most.

As Chair, it gives me great pleasure to see the rebuilding and recovery of parkrun as it emerges and fl ourishes in a postpandemic world. With the Board, it has been a privilege to announce the appointment of new Trustees bringing a wealth of experience, and to work alongside the Executive to support the strengthening of the leadership team at parkrun.

parkrun changes lives, embracing those that are often underrepresented in traditional physical activity and community environments; providing a safe and welcoming space for anyone of any background, age, or physical ability to be social and

taken part in parkrun. The average fi nish time has continued to slow, refl ecting our ambitions to attract those for whom physical activity has not previously been the norm.

It’s been fantastic to see the charity preparing itself to be fi t for the future - onboarding new commercial and strategic partners worldwide, expanding retail off erings, and improving governance. It is vital that the charity is, and remains, in the best possible position to be free, for everyone, forever, for generations to come.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I’d like to extend our thanks to the staff , ambassadors, volunteers, event teams and those who simply join us each weekend, for making parkrun so special. There are many challenges ahead I’m sure, but we look forward to continuing our work together, building a worldclass organisation, striving towards a truly healthier and happier planet.

Across the 22 countries where parkrun operates, more than 2,200 events take place every single weekend; providing free opportunities for the 8 million plus people who are registered to be active in their local community, and these numbers are only going in one direction: Up.

Sincerely

This year too, more than 110,000 people who had

Chief Executive Off icer’s refl ections

We started the 2022-2023 fi nancial year with cautious optimism. The COVID-19 pandemic and the risk it posed to our global operations was receding, and with the return of parkrun events around the world, our thoughts turned to rebuilding and renewal.

The fi rst phase of the rebuilding was to take stock. Despite events returning, average attendances were resolutely lower post-Covid than before lockdowns (including a stark drop in participation from those in lower socio-economic groups). Our insight was telling us that we weren’t yet ‘back to normal’, that habits had changed, and that many felt they were not fi t enough to participate. From an event delivery perspective, we were also hearing from teams that it was more diffi cult to fi nd volunteers.

The impact

what is the parkrun practice initiative?

what is junior parkrun?

The parkrun practice initiative is all about making links between GP practices and local parkruns. It was launched in 2018 by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and parkrun. It connects patients and staff to nearby events, encouraging everyone to come along and spend time together safely outdoors, to improve both physical and mental health, as well as combatting things like loneliness.

junior parkrun takes place on a Sunday morning in Australia, Ireland and the UK. It’s centred around a 2k course, aimed at children aged four - 14, their friends, relatives, parents and carers. It’s a chance for the whole family to spend time together, taking part in a free activity outside.

More than 13 million instances of participation have been recorded from 1 February 2022 through to 31 January 2023.

This includes over 1.5 million individual people, with over a third of those as volunteers, amounting to over 1.75 million volunteer occasions.

18,000 events across 425 locations . More than 130,000 juniors crossed a fi nish line with more than 750,000 junior parkruns completed, with 43,000 volunteers participating almost 350,000 times.

More than 110,000 participants this year marked themselves as ‘inactive’ upon registering for parkrun, and over this period more than half a million people took part in a parkrun event for the very fi rst time.

In 2022, junior parkrun celebrated its twelfth anniversary. Over the years, more than 370 junior parkrun events have been launched across Australia, Ireland and the UK. A jaw dropping 430,000 diff erent juniors have participated more than 3.8 million times!

This, on top had to act. of the undeniable shift in habits post-lockdown.

So October 2022 saw the launch of parkwalk; a visible and demonstrable commitment to not only acknowledging but celebrating walking at parkrun. We renamed our social accounts, launched a new retail range, and introduced a new volunteer role globally: the parkwalker. A role that remains in place.

“The campaign gave ‘permission’ for people to walk. We had always had walkers before but having a walking focused month seemed popular with both regular parkrun walkers and other people who would not have considered walking.”

“It brought back runners who felt that they had become ‘too slow’ and it led to greater understanding that walking at parkrun is a done thing.”

“ For decades now, the ‘running’ and ‘health’ magazine sector has too often been complicit in perpetuating a toxic image of physical activity. We are committed to changing this. It’s time to really challenge what it means to be physically active, what you wear, or how you take part. You don’t need to be afraid, you don’t have to win, or feel competitive. It’s time for a ‘running magazine’ to be inclusive, representative, supportive and kind. A publication that celebrates joining in, showing up, and taking part, no matter what that might look like.”

Keeping parkruns as safe as possible is vital to our vision and mission. This fi nancial year we made a huge commitment: to get every single parkrun event around the world an automated external defi brillator (AED). Although critical heartrelated incidents at parkrun are rare, where they do occur at events with access to an AED, independent research has found a 65% survival rate.

The people

Delivering such huge reach and impact requires a commitment to fi rst class resourcing and infrastructure across the organisation, something the charity has begun striving for across the 2022-2023 fi nancial year.

Signifi cant investment in headcount has started to put parkrun Global in the best possible position to achieve its strategic goals. Delivered and recruited

within budget, the global organisation headcount has now increased from 40 to 51.

parkrun’s commitment to providing inclusive opportunities includes staff recruitment, and this fi nancial year the organisation has taken on three paid internships; as part of our commitment to developing people at the start of their careers.

There has also been a focus on plugging skills gaps, and ensuring parkrun has the vital capabilities it needs

in-house to succeed across the world. Hires during this period include a Social Media Manager, Graphic Designer, a dedicated Finance Manager in the Asia Pacifi c region, plus further recruitment into safeguarding, operations, data and insight, and the commercial, partnership, retail and fundraising

functions. Recruitment also commenced for a dedicated, full time Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Lead.

Appointments were made to the senior positions of Head of People and Culture, and Head of Commercial and Fundraising, who joined a newly strengthened Senior Leadership Team with Russ Jeff erys as incoming Chief Executive Offi cer, joined by Global Heads of Communications,

Finance and Health and Wellbeing, and the Global Chief Operating Offi cer; with founder Paul Sinton-

Hewitt in an Executive Director role.

The two new senior positions enabled the creation of two new teams covering their respective areas of expertise. The Head of Commercial and Fundraising provides a renewed focus on partnerships, fundraising

and retail. And the Head of People and Culture is beginning to address the themes and actions regarding culture identifi ed in the Review, Reset Refresh report that was undertaken in early 2022, covering all aspects of staff , volunteering and safeguarding.

The charity also invested in two global Executive Administration roles to support leadership.

Strategic partners at parkrun parkrun collaborates with a number of other organisations on a strategic level

parkrun collaborates with a number of other organisations on a strategic level to achieve its charitable objectives. These non-commercial relationships allow us to reach new audiences, and increase our social impact; particularly in areas such as social prescribing and community rehabilitation.

Social prescribing – a case study:

Since the parkrun practice initiative was born in June 2018, some practices have gone one step further and set up parkrun events in their own communities. When Sheffield based Dr Hart set up the first GP-inspired parkrun in the UK, he asked the receptionist Jo to take the lead. Jo explains:

Almost 2,000 GP surgeries across Australia, Ireland and the UK are partnered with their local parkrun event as part of the ‘parkrun practice’ initiative. The surgeries signpost to parkrun as safe and inclusive spaces to tackle issues such as loneliness, and improve physical and mental health for both staff and patients.

“I’ve previously suffered with anxiety and depression, I was in a serious relationship which took a bit of a turn for the worse and it ended up being an abusive relationship. He pushed me over the edge and it stripped me of my confidence and self belief… I thought I was falling apart before I started parkrun and I think parkrun helped me to pull myself back together.”

“Aside from the obvious physical health benefits of encouraging movement, I see first hand the psychological benefits, not just from the physical activity of parkrun but from becoming a member of the parkrun community. For me, parkrun encapsulates the positive impact that community-led initiatives can have on some of the most marginalised and vulnerable in our society”.

Also across Australia, Ireland and the UK more than 30 parkrun events are established on custodial estates. In the UK this partnership between His Majesty’s Prison Service and parkrun celebrated five years in November 2022, and so far an incredible 13,000 people have walked, run and volunteered at custodial events. Across the world, an amazing 55,000 walks and runs have been recorded.

A successful cyber attack or significant data breach could lead to loss of data, an inability to deliver events and services and ultimately lead to reputational impact and damage for the organisation as well as possible regulatory noncompliance and fines. We continue to review our IT security policies and procedures, implementing enhancements wherever necessary, work which will continue during 2023–2024.

Organisational growth

One of the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic is the negative impact on public health and wellbeing. Coupled with the deteriorating economic climate and the cost of living crisis, parkrun (as a

Reputational risks

The strong cash reserves and clarity around a new five year strategy give us the confidence we need to invest in the team and resources in order to respond to these opportunities and challenges in a sustainable way.

The Trustees work hard to ensure parkrun has a robust set of policies and agreements in place (such as whistleblowing, volunteer agreements, health and safety, safeguarding, social media and cyber security) which help to mitigate against damage to reputation that could result from failures in these areas.

Safeguarding and medical incidents

Given the size and scale of parkrun, with thousands

During the financial year to 31st January 2023 we were delighted to see the vast majority of parkrun events around the world return, after two years of significant impact from the global pandemic.

Investment in our growth strategy began following the full return of all events, and as expected, costs rose significantly compared to the previous year.

Total expenditure was £7,302,125 (2022 £4,339,988).

The large increase in expenditure was due to several factors.

We transferred our retail offering onto the parkrun shop, so we are now bearing the full costs of our retail products, rather than receiving a royalty/ commission from third party suppliers.

The financial statements include a full year of transactions from parkrun Australia for the first time. In the previous year parkrun Australia only became a subsidiary from July.

We have also increased staff levels across all areas of the organisation, to enable us to sustain growth over the next few years, with investment in people having been a priority this year.

In addition, we saw a return to our ambassador conferences in many

countries around the world, celebrating the contribution and achievements of our ambassadors, which we weren’t able to do during the pandemic.

Moreover, we increased turnover in both charitable and trading activities, with our renewal of the Sport England Grant

and an increase in retail revenue and sponsorship throughout the year.

Total income was £7,248,475 (2022 £5,590,956).

We expect to see continued growth in income and expenditure as parkrun grow around the world in line with our new 5 year strategy (2023-2028).

The group has net assets of £3,321,567 (2022 £3,375,217),

represented by unrestricted funds of £2,744,807 (2022 £2,992,672) and restricted funds of £576,760 (2022 £382,545).

The Trustees are satisfied with the overall net asset position and the current split between unrestricted (82.6%) and restricted reserves (17.4%).

The Trustees continually monitor cash flow requirements and are pleased to see the cash held at the end of the year has increased to £2,444,833 from £1,792,980 in 2022.

Funds provided through parkrun donations continue to help support costs at individual events. The Trustees are grateful for the continued support from the participants themselves. At the year end, an increase in funds to £401,760 from the 2022 position of £382,545, were available to support individual event specific funding requirements going forward.

Reserves policy

The Trustees have considered the future viability of the group and its ability to continue as a going concern, while regularly monitoring cash flow forecasts. Having reviewed the makeup of the group’s working capital and net current assets position at the year-end, the Trustees are confident that the group has sufficient resources to continue with its operations and seek to achieve its objectives. Consequently, the financial statements

have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The current reserves position remains strong with restricted funds totaling £576,760 (2022 £382,545) and the general funds total £2,744,807 (2022 £2,992,672). The detail of the funding provided is given in Note 21 of the accounts.

The reserves policy is calculated and assessed according to an overall risk

Fundraising

parkrun continues to supporting this growing expand, opening new network, ensuring events every weekend consistency and safety are across the globe and increasing and maintaining therefore the costs the key founding principle associated that participation should be with at no cost to the individual, will inevitably increase significantly too.

The Trustees support a responsible approach to increasing scale, however it is important that parkrun continues to develop a range of commercial strategies to raise funds to support

policy. Due to fixed assets being required for the functional operation of the charity, the general reserves after deducting the fixed assets figure is £1,759,044. While the reserves remain strong, the Trustees would like to see an increase in general reserves over the next few years, in line with the overall growth of the organisation.

growing overheads. The Trustees continue to pursue a strategy of building self sufficiency through a diverse range of revenue streams.

In the 2022-2023 financial year 78.3% of parkrun Global's revenue was generated in the UK (80% in 2021-2022). parkrun continues to diversify income streams and aims to reduce reliance on the UK. Revenue is generated through four main income streams, as follows.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship continues to be parkrun Global's largest source of income with 35.7% of income in 2022-2023 (up from 31.6% in 2021-2022).

parkrun Global continued to work with long-standing partners in the 2022-2023 year, extending rights agreements with partners such as Brooks to secure long-term contracts that saw the rights extended to new territories and also gaining their support to help grow parkrun in smaller markets.

parkrun's sponsorship packages include rights to access the parkrun community through email, social media, digital branding and event activations. Working with partners who share parkrun's ethos for inclusivity, health and wellbeing is paramount and we continue to explore partners across the globe that can support our mission.

Grant funding

During the financial year, parkrun worked with Sport England on specific projects.

In the financial year, parkrun secured a £5m grant from sport England, for the five year period 2022-2027.

Retail

Retail continues to be an important and growing part of our commercial strategy, as parkrun seeks to avoid an over-reliance on any one revenue stream. The continued focus on the new parkrun shop and the range of products available meant that retail contributed 32.1% of revenue in 2022-2023 (24.3% in 2021-2022).

Donations

The online donation platform, parkrun Forever continues to be the main source of unrestricted fundraising income. In the financial year parkrun Forever continued to be an important part of parkrun’s revenue mix with over £434,390 including GiftAid raised in 20222023, (£451,069 in 2021-

2022). parkrun Global is exploring implementing new fundraising products over the coming year to build a more diverse portoflio of ways for the public to support parkrun's charitable endeavours. In 2022-2023 parkrun Global registered with the fundraising platform JustGiving to allow direct donations from the general public through the parkrun UK website.

In the year, parkrun Global Ltd received no complaints in relation to fundraising. We ensure that both our staff and our partners protect vulnerable people and others from unreasonable intrusion on a person’s privacy, unreasonably persistent approaches or undue attention.

PARKRUN GLOBAL LIMITED FINANCIAL YEAR 2022 - 2023

Future Plans

We believe that human beings have an innate need to be active, social and outdoors. That these are essential conditions for good health and wellbeing. But we also know that modern life makes it challenging for these needs to be met. Add to that we’re facing a health crisis, exacerbated by Covid-19, which is only set to get worse with the tough economic headwinds we’re facing.

It’s clear then that access to free, regular, outdoor, social, community-focused physical activity has never been so important. It’s never been needed more.

These statements are not just anecdotal: academic research and our own insight is categorical: parkrun can and does change, even save, lives.

Our ambition is to transform parkrun into a truly global movement, and world-class organisation, positively impacting the health and happiness of millions of people across increasingly diverse communities: no matter

who they are, no matter where they live.

We must grow and shape our movement to reach those that may have the most to gain.

As we embark on the ambitious five year strategy our focus will be on setting measurable targets to guide us on our mission; to reposition parkrun as a health charity that is ready and able to play its part in improving health and wellbeing, by supporting thousands of local community events to succeed and thrive.

We will be investing in the right skills base and staffing structure to support parkrun as it grows: particularly in the areas of volunteer management, commercial and fundraising, and technology; future proofing the parkrun movement for generations to come.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

The information given in the Trustees’ annual report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements
The Trustees’ annual report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees’ responsibilities set out in the Trustees’ annual report, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 group’s and the parent

charitable company’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 group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge • Adequate accounting and understanding of records have not been the group and the parent kept by the parent charitable company and charitable company, or their environment obtained returns adequate for in the course of the audit, our audit have not been received from branches

The parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or

We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charites Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts.

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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design

procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.

of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
We obtained an

understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the group operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the group from our professional and sector experience.

We enquired of management, and the Finance and Audit Committee, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the group’s policies and procedures relating to:

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. This 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 concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

The results of PSH Retail Limited which is a wholly owned subsidiary of parkrun

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 January 2023 1. Accounting policies a. Statutory information

a. Statutory information parkrun Global Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee,

incorporated and registered in England and Wales. The

company's registered office address and principal place of

Trading Limited are also included. Transactions and balances between the charity and its subsidiaries have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Balances between the five entities are disclosed in the notes of the charity's balance sheet. A separate statement of financial activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charity itself is not presented as a summary of the result for the year is disclosed in the notes to the accounts.

Under Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 the Company is exempt from the requirement to present its own profit and loss account.

Both parkrun U.S. and parkrun Canada subsidiaries are not consolidated within the financial statements as the directors believe the relationship will not continue in its current form and their inclusion within the consolidation has no significant

bearing on the results for the year.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

In applying the financial reporting framework, the Trustees have made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The nature of the estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Any significant estimates and judgements affecting these financial statements are detailed within the relevant accounting policy below.

c. Public benefit entity

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

d. Going concern

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

parkrun has a number of income streams ranging from grants, partners and supporters, to retail sales and fundraising, via donations and event related income.

With contracts and agreements in place over a number of years, parkrun firmly believes there are currently no

foreseeable circumstances which would question the continuation of parkrun and therefore the Trustees believe that the current level of financial support is sufficient to enable parkrun to continue to thrive and operate as a going concern.

The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

e. Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that

Directors' Report for the Year Ended 31 January 2023

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 January 2023.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of the promotion and organisation of free weekly runs in parks throughout the UK, and the provision of volunteering opportunities at those events.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

parkrun Ltd is responsible for delivering parkrun events (5k and junior 2k events) in the UK. parkruns are free, weekly, physical activity events that are accessible to people of all abilities and backgrounds, delivered in local communities by volunteers.

The financial year saw the return of all UK events, after the pandemic had significantly impacted the previous two years. Participation is steadily climbing back to pre-pandemic levels.

Our turnover increased to £4,724,746 from £3,245,729 in 2021/22, while administrative expenses also increased to £4,495,220 from £2,784,588. The increase in administrative expenses was partly due to our planned investment in recruitment of staff, which is a big part of our ambitious growth strategy.

parkrun is committed to supporting communities to be healthier and happier and to targeting those communities that have most to benefit from the provision of free physical activity or volunteering.

DIRECTORS

The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 February 2022 to the date of this report.

T Williams D R Moorcroft R J Borthwick Ms R Morris R J Jefferys

Other changes in directors holding office are as follows:

Ms H J Corne - resigned 18 January 2023

DONATIONS

The directors are pleased to confirm that during the year they were able to distribute under gift aid £420,066 (2022 : £17,500) in relation to the 2022 profits to the parent charitable company parkrun Global Limited to enable it to pursue its charitable objectives.The directors intend to distribute the 2023 profits by way of gift aid in the current year.

GOING CONCERN

The Directors have considered the future viability of the Company and its ability to continue as a going concern, and regularly monitor cash flow forecasts. Having reviewed the makeup of current liabilities at the year end the directors are confident that the majority of items included will have little impact on the cashflow of the company going forward and therefore, the directors are satisfied that, for the foreseeable future, the Company can continue with its operations and seek to achieve its objectives. Consequently, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities for the Year Ended 31 January 2023

The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and Section 1A of FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to Smaller Entities).

Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent ; and
assess the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and
use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of parkrun Limited (A company Limited by Guarantee) (Registered number: 07289574)

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of parkrun Limited (A company Limited by Guarantee) (the 'company') for the year ended 31 January 2023 which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, Balance Sheet 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at the 31 January 2023 and of its result for the year then ended ;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company 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.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the directors' annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Directors' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Page 5

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of parkrun Limited (A company Limited by Guarantee) (Registered number: 07289574)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 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 directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Directors' Report.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, the directors 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 directors determine 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 directors are responsible for assessing the company'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 directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 6

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of parkrun Limited (A company Limited by Guarantee) (Registered number: 07289574)

Auditors' 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 Auditors' 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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the company's policies and procedures relating to:
Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the company from our professional and sector experience.
We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We reviewed any reports made to regulators.
We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

Use of our report

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 January 2023

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

parkrun Limited is a private company, limited by guarantee, registered and incorporated in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern

The directors consider the company to be a going concern. No material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern have been identified by the directors. The directors have considered current financial information and forecasts and are satisfied that the company has sufficient reserves to continue as a going concern for the next financial year. The company has long term relationships with partners, commercial sponsors and Sport England covering the next 12 months and the directors have no reason to believe that this commercial support will change going forward.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from these estimates. The directors do not consider that there are any significant judgements applicable to these financial statements.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

The company receives grants and sponsorship from the public and third parties and recognises the income from these sources over the term of the agreement to which the funds relate. As a result a proportion of such income may be deferred to future periods and shown within other creditors within the financial statements. Income from donations for which there are no performance related conditions is recognised in the year in which it is received.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery - 33% on cost and 10% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation and deferred tax

The company is a subsidiary of parkrun Global Limited a registered charity and as such no taxation charge is expected to arise as all profits will be distributed to the charity under Gift Aid. Also as a result no provision is required for deferred tax.

Directors' Report for the Year Ended 31 January 2023

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 January 2023.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of the development, maintenance and support of the Global parkrun technology platform, provision of event services to all parkrun entities, the management of international parkrun territories and the commercial activities of parkrun Global Ltd and it's subsidiaries.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The financial year saw the return of all UK events, after the pandemic had significantly impacted the previous two years.

As a consequence our turnover increased to £3,329,514. We also saw an increase in overheads to £3,164,153.

Our partners and commercial sponsors continued to play a vital role in supporting parkrun. During the financial year we made the decision to bring the Contra clothing range back into the parkun Trading Limited entity and ceased trading in the subsidiary PSH Retail Ltd.

parkrun continues to dedicate itself to providing accessibility to physical activity and volunteering opportunities, free of charge, through local, community, volunteer delivered events and has already begun to expand, with new events starting across most territories in 2022.

DIRECTORS

The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 February 2022 to the date of this report.

J C Townsend R J Jefferys

DONATIONS

The directors are pleased to confirm that during the year they were able to distribute under gift aid £255,335 (2022 : £103,000) during the year to the parent charitable company parkrun Global Limited to enable it to pursue its charitable objectives. The directors intend to distribute the 2023 profits by way of gift aid in the current year.

GOING CONCERN

The directors have considered the future viability of the Company and its ability to continue as a going concern, and regularly monitor cash flow forecasts. Having reviewed the makeup of current liabilities at the year end the directors are confident that the majority of items included will have little impact on the cashflow of the company going forward and therefore, the directors are satisfied that, for the foreseeable future, the Company can continue with its operations and seek to achieve its objectives. Consequently, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

Sayer Vincent LLP were appointed as auditors in September 2019.

Pursuant to section 487 of the Companies Act 2006 the auditor will be deemed to be reappointed and Sayer Vincent will therefore continue in office.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the company's policies and procedures relating to:
Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the company from our professional and sector experience.
We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We reviewed any reports made to regulators.
We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the company's policies and procedures relating to:
Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the company from our professional and sector experience.
We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We reviewed any reports made to regulators.
We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

Going concern

The company ceased to trade on the 1 November 2022 following the directors decision to move the stock and subsequent sales of the Contra range to another company within the group. The company has since paid all remaining outstanding creditors at the year end in full, and it will be formally struck off as a Company in 2023. As such the financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis but this has had no effect on the stated balance sheet values.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation and deferred taxation

The company is a subsidiary of parkrun Trading Limited which in turn is a subsidiary of parkrun Global Limited a registered charity and as such no taxation charge is expected to arise as all profits will be distributed to the charity under Gift Aid. Also as a result no provision is required for deferred tax.
