We have been in existence now since 2007 and continue to try and support Sport and Physical Activity Clubs and Associations across Swindon Borough. I continue to thank our supporters. Chiefly Swindon Borough Council, through Helena Robinson who is Head of Health Improvement Services, who fund the Sports Forum. To Steve Boocock, CEO of Wiltshire and Swindon Sport (WASP) whose County Sports Partnership partly fund the work done by our newly appointed Club Support Officer Neil Loader and support us in many unseen ways too. Our Steering Group Members who meet during the year to assess progress and set the next priorities. They are Gerry Hannon our Vice Chair, Sue Gravell our treasured treasurer, Neil Bromley our Grants Officer, Gladys Barr who gives us insight into Parish work, Ben Humphrey whose work with disability gives us valuable feedback. Stuart Arthur, who looks after Swindon’s priorities for WASP is also a key member, as is newly joined Lewis Bird, who reports to Helena at SBC. Our year has been a varied one and with the loss of Chris Baker our Coordinator earlier in the year it left us with little resource with which to ‘get things done’. We have moved from a climate of pandemic into a slow national decline with austerity looming large over the next year at least. We are extremely aware of the difficulties facing our members and have resources available to those in genuine need. It took us a long time to recruit a new Support Worker but we engaged Neil Loader in September and he has already done some sterling work for us across a range of clubs and associations. He has brought with him a depth of ability in Club Development and will continue to work with you all to understand your priorities and find ways to help you achieve your plans, and maximise your income. It is disappointing but we have not been able to achieve our priorities that we set last year. The Senior Games is on hold until next year as is the Talented Athlete Academy and we will be focussing on: - Club/Association Development support - The allocation of Small Grants –up to £1,000 –on going - Funding Workshops –help with bid writing -£1,000 -£10,000 –on going - Project funding workshops - £10,000+ - Providing low-cost courses, First Aid, Safeguarding, coaching disabled players etc - Help with Coaching bursaries - Through grants alone this year we have supported clubs across the Borough with help for Coach Education, with equipment, helping individuals with their costs so that they can achieve their potential and contributed towards storage spaces. We still have lots to spend as you can see from the accounts and we want to work with Neil and the members to help in these austere times. Once Neil is better established in his role we will work towards redeveloping the Senior Games, the Talented Athlete’s Academy and a new project supporting Personal Trainers to create new classes for schoolchildren after school. I have now been involved with the Sports Forum since its inception in 2007 and have decided that it is time to stand aside and allow someone else to take the reins. I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I have invested in the Forum and wish it every success under new leadership. I will support the transition in a member capacity. ## **Swindon Sports Forum Statement of Income and Expenditure for the year to 31.10. 2022** |**Income**|**20-21**|**Details**|**Income**|**21-22**||**Expenditure 20-21**|**Details**|**Expenditure 21-22**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |**£**|||**£**|||**£**||**£**| |||Swindon Borough||||||| |£20,000.00||Council|£20,000.00|||||| |||Grants||||£7,892.47|Grants Awarded|£4,644.00| |||Grants withdrawn|£700.00|||||| ||£31.52|Bank Interest||£37.40||||| ||£75.00|Bank Comp.||||||| ||||||||Venue hire and|| ||||||||refreshments|| |||||||£244.72|Insurance|£127.68| ||||||||Advertising|| ||||||||Web Site|£95.88| ||||||||Facebook|£10.86| ||||||||Sundries|| ||||||||WASP|£1,305.00| |||||||£136.47|Senior Games|| |**£20,106.52**||**Total Income**|**£20,737.40**|||**£8,273.66**|**Total Expenditure**|**£6,183.42**| |||balance b/f|£59,899.17|||||| |||Plus income|£20,737.40|||||| |||Less expenditure|£6,183.42|||||| |||||||**Nationwide £31586.99**||| |||**balance c/f**|**£74,453.15**|||**Lloyds £43046.16**||| ||||||less u/c chqs|**£180.00**||| |||||||**£74,453.15**||| The undersigned confirm their acceptance of this "Statement of Income and Expenditure Auditor Alan Winter Treasurer Susan Gravell Chairman Ian Jankinson
