## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

Viva Gymnastic Club continued the delivery of gymnastics to the local community, broadening its reach from Portsea to include Hilsea where it now leases a unit. The keys to the new unit in Hilsea were obtained on the last day of August 2023, and the Club spent the following weeks preparing the unit to be opened to the public for gymnastics sessions in November 2023. 

The second site has resulted in the Club expanding its customer base and being able to develop its programme, including offering additional SEND sessions and working in partnership with Portsmouth City Council to provide Holiday Activities & Food (HAF) day camps. 

The Club participated in fundraising for the Wave 105 Cash For Kids Sports Challenge in September 2023, raising £18,922. As a result of being the top fundraiser in the region the Club received £5,000 as a prize, bringing the total fundraised to £23,922. 

The Club continues to build its coaching base by upskilling young trainee coaches and members of staff.

**TAR** 



You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; 

- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. 

The charity’s principal sources of funds are members’ fees, including individual gymnast bookings, charity group booking and school group bookings, and additional fundraising undertaken by the Club, such as grant applications for projects, general fundraising events, competitions, occasional sale of ‘tuck shop’ items and sales of Club kit. 

All purchases made for the charity are in support of the charity’s aims and to enable the charity to operate. The charity purchases new gymnastics equipment so that all gymnasts can access equipment and learn skills, including those gymnasts with physical disabilities and additional needs. For example, soft play and sensory equipment is purchased for those gymnasts with sensory needs, whilst accessibility aids are purchased to make the gymnastics equipment accessible to those gymnasts with physical disabilities. 

## **Section F                     Other optional information** 

The expenses of the Club are much increased this year due to the opening of the second site, which involved additional rent, installation of electrics and water to the unit, and the building and fitting out of an office and staff area, upgrading the toilet and pipework, installing a kitchen and catering area including hot water heating units, and adding safety features. 

The opening of the new unit was greatly facilitated by a personal loan from one of the trustees to cover setting-up expenses.
