Message from Eamonn O’Rourke , Chair of Manchester Schools’ PE Association .
‘Welcome to the Manchester Schools’ PE Association Annual Report 2022-2023.
The charity has continued to develop and grow in 2023/2024, particularly in relation to the impact that we are having on Young People in Manchester and the growth and consolidation of key strategic partnerships in the city.
Owing to the unexpected loss of core grant funding in 2023/2024 the charity made a significant unexpected loss. There have, however, been learnings from this and a recovery plan has been quickly implemented that should lead to a resumption of financial stability in 2024/2025.
The next page demonstrates our key statistics for the year. I would like to thank our staff and key stakeholders for all of their help in achieving excellent impact for Young People in Manchester

Manchester Schools PE Association Independent Examiner’s Report Year ended 31[st ] August 2024
This report on the attached financial statements of Manchester Schools PE Association for the year ended 31 August 2024 is in respect of an examination carried out to the requirements of s145 the Charites Act 2011 (“The Act”).
Respective responsibilities of trustees and the examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period and an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the financial statements (under section 145 of the Act)
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of this report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners. The examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the school and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records the examination was conducted remotely. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts seeking explanations from the governors concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the financial statements.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the governors have not met the requirements to ensure that;
-
Proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act); and
-
Financial statements are prepared which agree the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
