ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

In September of this year, Lune Valley Community Society was awarded a grant of nearly £30k by the National Lottery Community Fund. See financial section for details.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2020
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Management and Administration of the Lune Valley Swimming Pool made LCVS a Surplus of £14,900 in the year ending December 2020 compared to an annual Deficit of £9,504 in 2019. In addition to this LVCS secured a grant from the National lottery and at 31st December 2020 of which there is £11,977 left to spend. This means there is an overall Surplus in the year of £26,877.
Firstly this Surplus includes £3,521 of donations and memberships. The local community continues to generously support LVCS and these amounts are very much appreciated in these difficult times.
In 2020 there was a successful bid by Jo Mugford for the National Lottery Covid Grant of £29,967. £7,374 of this grant was spent on a replacement boiler and £1,320 on CCTV systems to ensure security and allow families to watch lessons and sessions from the foyer. The remaining grant is to keep the pool open in the challenging Covid-19 circumstances and has (and will) cover costs including staffing and discounting the family swim to £15 among others.
This grant is recorded in the Restricted Fund of these accounts as it is for specific items.
In the General Unrestricted fund the Pool made a surplus of £14,122 in a very challenging year.
The year was split into three phases. Firstly when open in the first quarter of 2020, then in second quarter when in lockdown and then the rest of the year when reopened under Covid restrictions.
Q1 - When open there were more customers; the take up of lane swimming and family swims increased as well as increased school bookings and third party bookings. The first quarter exhibited very promising numbers and it was felt that the pool was really starting to do well. Until Covid hit.
Q2 - When closed Government and Business Rates Grants (£17,638 in total) ensured that the running costs and salaries were covered when the pool was closed with only a small deficit.
Q3/4 - On reopening they found that the demand was there. People still want to swim! A reduced service with clean downs meant that while people were still coming the public and family sessions were more expensive than they had been. The support from all of the local schools, some new users and the above grant has allowed the pool to continue to operate with the goodwill of staff and volunteers.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves and financial viability
Material reserves are not held. All funds are used in the management and running of the facility.
At 31st December the General Fund had a positive balance of £14,122 (2019: negative balance of £778).
This fund contained the assets totalling £20,229 including a cash balance of £17,215 (2019: £6,141) plus Trade Debtors to be received from customers of £3,014 (2019 £1,271). These assets were offset by Trade Creditors of £6,107 (2019: £8,190). These Trade Creditors include an estimated charge for waste water from Water Plus of £3,500. Nothing has been paid by LCVS for waste water and we are disputing the charge levied.
At 31st December the Restricted Fund had a balance of £11,977 (2019: NIL). This is all a cash balance and is required to be spent on Wages and Covid related running costs and GP referrals.
Despite the challenges with the Covid-19 pandemic the Trustees feel that the charity has enough reserves and is in a stable position to fulfil its activities in 2021and beyond.
FUTURE PLANS
The National Lottery grant should have been fully spent by end March 2021, however, due another lockdown, National Lottery have agreed to extend the project once we are back open. This will enable us to continue to offer subsidised family swims whilst we are still operating under Covid social distancing restrictions (until the grant is fully spent) and also to develop the GP referral scheme further.
We hope to be able to offer more swimming opportunities to more people and run some community events as Covid restrictions ease over the next year.
