The Trustees have invited the local Junior School to use the facilities for their Sports Day. We have extended this invitation to TS Sovereign, the Local Barrow Island Sea Cadet Unit to use for their outdoor activities.
I can declare that the Trustees have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on Public Benefit.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022
Achievements and performance
The Trustees, having taken advice from Big Local Trust, approached a local Chartered Accountant for advice on how to proceed with the action of incorporation. Bryan Redhead & Co Ltd progressed this matter and on 2[nd] February 2017 we became an Incorporated Charity, Barrow Island Community Sports Trust Ltd, Company No 10598525. All Trustees are now Directors registered with Companies House.
The Board meets regularly and continues to take note of the requirements and wishes of the local community through its liaison with the partner group Barrow Island Community Trust who hold surgeries with residents on Barrow Island issues. This enables good channels of communication to ensure meaningful dialogue is maintained.
Following the hugely successful opening event in March, the Barrow Island Community Sports Trust Ltd (BICST Ltd) continues to support and facilitate events for the local area. The Hub is now operating and making income in its own right. This has included the very first annual Fudfest, a pop festival in memory of a popular local resident who passed away in the previous year. This event raised several thousand pounds for the local St Mary’s Hospice and is scheduled to repeat next year.
The Cumbria Masters Rugby League Festival was hosted by BICST Ltd; this event involved 12 visiting teams from Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire and was very successful. The Community Hub provided and hosted Christmas Parties for both local Senior Citizens and children and is also a well-used venue for dance troupes, Amateur Dramatic groups and other organisations offering yoga, Pilates and craft fairs.
BICST Ltd is very proud of the achievements made in such a short period of time. However, the Board intend to build on these successes by starting on the second phase of the improvements to the Sports Changing Facilities. We intend to use a local constructor to ensure the area benefits from the grants provided, rather than the funds going out of the area to national conglomerates. To this effect we have put the work out to tender and have appointed Ocean Construction to carry out the work to bring the remainder of the facility up to Sports England standards.
We also are justifiably proud of the work carried out by local volunteers to continuously improve the sports pitches to enable various teams to enjoy clean and playable pitches for a small proportion of the year, when the covid restrictions had been lifted.
Partnerships have gone from strength to strength over the last year. BAE systems have helped provide trees to plant that will form a natural perimeter fence around the ground helping to deter nuisance motor bikes from entering the ground at night and also helping the environment. This project proved exceptionally popular with the residents who turned out in large numbers to help plant the trees.
After coming out of the pandemic lockdown both hall and sports pitch use is increasing steadily. Groups now using the hall include, Age Concern, ANA, Multi Cultural Society. Walney Theatre Group and Cast Theatre Group, which run along side private group hire.
The current economic climate is causing alarm within the local community. It is the trusts aim to help support residents by providing an affordable venue whilst carefully balancing our own increasing costs in order to overcome these challenging times.
Financial review
No Reserves Policy.
Our main source of funding for this period is The Big Local Trust, with additional funds donated by BAE System, Cumbria CVS, Asda community foundation
The Board has ensured that all advice has been provided by suitably qualified and experienced persons, and funding has enabled this essential process to take place.

BARROW ISLAND COMMUNITY SPORTS TRUST LTD
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Barrow Island Community Sports Trust Ltd is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Cavendish Park, Island Road, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, LA14 2SB.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the trust's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trust has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the £1. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the trust.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the trust 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.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the trust has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.5 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Plant and equipment
25% straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.6 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the trust reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.7 Cash and cash equivalents
- Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.8 Financial instruments
The trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the trust's balance sheet when the trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

(Continued)
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the trust’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
