THE MINTRIDGE FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (continued)

Structure, Governance and Management Governing document

The Mintridge Foundation is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission, governed by its constitution.

Appointment of Trustees

Trustees are appointed by the current Trust Board for a term of three years. Upon completion of the term, the trustee has the option to either step down or seek re-election.

The Mintridge Foundation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children, expecting this commitment to be shared by all staff, Trustees, Ambassadors, Partners, volunteers, and supporters. Successful trustees undergo an enhanced DBS check.

Objectives and Activities

The objects of the CIO are, for the public benefit: -

To advance the physical and mental health and well-being of children and young people; and to advance the physical education and development of children and young people; but not exclusively by: - working with schools, colleges, sport clubs, universities and national governing bodies within the community to: -

Public Benefit

The board of trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission.

Risk management

The trustees are committed to the identification and management of the major strategic, business and operational risks which the Charitable Incorporated Organisation faces. The trustee board is committed to the identification and management of risk and believe that this must be achieved by supporting a structured and focused approach to risk management through its risk management framework. The Mintridge Foundation will wherever possible minimise risk to staff and members of the public and is dedicated to establishing a culture that ensures risk management is an integral part of everything it does. It will provide realistic resources to implement and support effective risk management within the foundation.

The CIO outlines the framework for managing the risks that it may face. The Trustees regularly review and assess the risks faced by the CIO in all areas of its work and plan for the management of those risks. Risk is an everyday part of charitable activity and managing it effectively is essential if the trustees are to achieve their key objectives and safeguard their charity's funds and assets. The framework considers the following:

The objectives of the risk management policy are to address the key risks that the CIO may face and to:

Achievements and Performance

Between 1st April 2024 and 31st March 2025, the Mintridge Foundation delivered 96 programmes across the UK impacting 15,957 young people. Studfall Junior Academy in June 2024 was our 600[th] Programme Celebration with Danielle Brown MBE (Archery) and Eboni Usoro – Brown (Netball).

77 of these were delivered as part of our Bronze Programme.

As part of the Bronze Programme, the Mintridge Foundation Ambassadors deliver inspirational presentations and classroom sessions to share their unique story. They also deliver coaching sessions (to kickstart a healthy sporting journey or to help nurture existing pathways) and classroom visits across the day tailored to suit a school / club schedule.

A Mintridge representatives are present throughout to organise the administrative, logistical and safeguarding elements.

7 of these were a virtual Bronze Programme which often meant a short webinar and Q&A to aid travelling constraints/financial budgets.

8 of the 96 programmes also included a 1-1 mentoring element impacting 21 young people.

To ensure the greatest legacy and to offer continued support for mental and physical fitness, in silver programmes, students have the opportunity to be mentored remotely by the Ambassador for a period of six months following the Bronze Visit. The Mintridge safeguarding policy applies during this time.

Mintridge worked with the staff and coaches to match the mentor and mentee. This has positive repercussions on their peers. The experience ensures both parties leave enriched and inspired.

5 of the Programmes included our Gold Element where students received tickets to watch our Ambassadors in action, as well as enabling more in-person time to ensure an even greater level of support. This element also allowed behindthe-scenes access at a live sports fixture to showcase the opportunities of sport for mentees and their families. Watching sport is exciting, engaging, visceral. Watching sport is key to learning and performance, improving our own capability. Sport brings together observing, learning and doing. Programmes included Peterborough United Football, Loughborough Lightning Rugby, London City Lionesses and the Hundred Cricket.

Once again, with the popularity of netball, this has been the biggest sporting choice for our beneficiaries as there has been a rise in the demand for female sports and role models. 27 of our programmes included netball. Pamela Cookey, Eboni Usoro – Brown, Georgia Darlow and Suzie Liverseidge were four Ambassadors that delivered the netball elements of the Mintridge Foundation.

We had 12 programmes that included Rugby Union which we are linking to the rise in popularity of the game, particularly with the strong coverage around the Women’s World Cup held in England. After netball and rugby union, our football, archery and hockey programmes were the third most popular with 11 programmes each. Wheelchair basketball and para canoe programmes were very popular throughout the period highlighting the rise in demand for schools to demonstrate Equality, Diversity and Inclusion within their settings. Furthermore, sports such as athletics, modern pentathlon, cricket judo, badminton, rowing, boxing and tennis were also very popular showing the variety that the Mintridge Foundation has to offer. We brought new sports in this year, such as kite foiling with Jemima Crathorne

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (continued)

to showcase new sports that young people might not necessarily be aware of but have a strong pathway through to the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

VOLUNTARY INCOME

Due to being a small team, during 1[st] April 2024 to 31[st] March 2025, the Mintridge Foundation has looked for other ways for individuals and organisations to support the charity, particularly with voluntary income being increasingly harder to receive. With this in mind, Pro Bono support in programme co-ordination, marketing and PR has helped us reach an increasing number of beneficiaries. The team continue to look for different channels to reach more young people.

SAFEGUARDING REPORT – 1[ST] APRIL 2024 – 31[ST] MARCH 2025

Sally Peck OBE as the Trustee Lead for Safeguarding can confirm that all cases during the period have been closed/archived. The cases can be highlighted in the graph below, monitored by the Mintridge Foundation Online Safeguarding System (monitored by Safeguard My School as part of TES).

THE MINTRIDGE FOUNDATION

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) General information and basis of preparation

The Mintridge Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation’s operations and principal activities are as set out in the Trustees’ report.

The Charitable Incorporated Organisation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016).

The Charitable Incorporated Organisation has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented unless otherwise stated.

(b) Funds

Unrestricted funds are funds that are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and that have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds are funds that have been earmarked for use on certain programs by the Trustees, in line with the non-binding wishes of the donor.

Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor.

(c) Going concern

The charity has prepared cashflow forecasts to 31 January 2027, which show a projected cash surplus.

After due consideration of all relevant factors, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charitable Incorporated Organisation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.

(d) Incoming resources

Incoming resources primarily represent funds generated from donations and the operation of sporting programs. Income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.

(e) Charitable activities

Charitable activities comprise the operation of sporting programs for young people.

(f) Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Support costs comprise all costs incurred in the running of the charity.
