This marked a significant milestone after a sustained period of hard work by the board, the Think Active team and also a big change for everyone involved. Thanks, and recognition to the work of the trustees whose leadership, guidance and expertise was invaluable and to the Think Active team who maintained focus and delivered on everything despite the organisational change that was happening around them. Becoming a Charitable Independent Organisation mid-way through the year was exciting and needed to be managed with our funders and our existing host. Our thanks to Coventry City Council for supporting the organisation and the people within it through a smooth transfer into new employ. Our ongoing gratitude to Sport England for the support with the transfer and your ongoing confidence in us to deliver on a hugely important national agenda in Coventry, Solihull & Warwickshire. 2021 was the second year impacted by COVID-19, which was devastating for the lives of so many people, and for the work of many local clubs, groups and multi sector organisations with whom we partner. We have seen the impact of the pandemic show up in the following ways; - The pandemic elevating the importance of an active lifestyle, - Societal disparities, emphasised by the pandemic, have exposed the health inequalities that exist in society. - A long-term commitment by Sport England to the role of sport and exercise through their Uniting the Movement strategy. Much that is contained in this report has been influenced by the course of the pandemic, the restrictions, and limitations it put on everyone and although things have been very hard, the value put on the benefits of physical activity by the Chief Medical Officer to encourage everyone to be active and the commitment of Sport England to invest in us so that we can play a small part in supporting the voluntary clubs and groups, the services and, and the commitment of individuals to support their local community to be physically active. In fact, the year has seen significant projects come to fruition or develop in new ways, resulting in many more new and different organisations and vulnerable people engaging with Think Active. This has shown up through the Tackling Inequalities Fund and the Community Fund in particular. We have also worked hard to maximise opportunities, to seek out new and different ways of working and to continue to provide excellent services to partners and stakeholders to help get the residents of Coventry, Solihull & Warwickshire to benefit from sport and physical activity. All of this means the charity has needed to be agile, embrace the change ahead and as a Board maintain a focus on robust financial management and strong governance from the start. Our refreshed #WeThinkActive strategy (completed in February 2022) sets out how Think Active will achieve its objectives, and how it will create and make the most of the opportunities. This report highlights some of the brilliant things that Think Active has been doing over the last year, helping community groups and organisations to support their members and local community to return to play and activity after the restrictions caused by the Covid -19 pandemic. We have worked with other local and national organisations to ensure we have maximised existing resources. We have and will continue to build on existing infrastructures, and we have used data and insight to maximise opportunities for potential of new and changing offers to meet local need and to align with stakeholder agendas. Think Active is very much about people. We aspire to develop and support confident, capable, inspirational people in our team and across our place. Achieving this will continue to be a major part of our strategic direction, we see people as valuable assets to the charity and to the wider partnership and we have focussed on supporting and developing them to drive sport and physical activity. 3 ## Introduction The Trustees, present their Trustees’ Report for Think Active CSW (Think Active), together with the financial statements, for the year ended 31 March 2022. Think Active operates in accordance with its Constitution which was adopted by the Board of Trustees on 8 April 2021. The Charitable Independent Organisation was formally registered with the Charity Commission on 29 March 2021. 2021 – 22 is a building and creation year for Think Active as we establish ourselves as a new Charity. Please refer to the structure and governance page of this report for details of roles, role holders and vacancies. Think Active operates from its registered office which is: c/o 1 Mill Street, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, CV31 1ES. The website address is: https://thinkactive.org ## Objectives and Activities Our objectives remain the same as in our original constitution. Think Active’s objectives are for the benefit of the public: 1. (a) an enhanced quality of life and sense of well-being through engagement with and participation in activities and events that bring people together, leading to improvements in physical and emotional well-being, quality of life and a more stable and cohesive community. (b) increased opportunities to engage to maximise places (as facilities and places to be active) in new activities that bring people together, leading to increased physical activity and greater social cohesion and fulfilment. - (c) enhanced active citizenship and involvement in community life. 2. an enhanced quality of life and sense of well-being through engagement with and participation in activities and events that bring people together, leading to improvements in physical and emotional well-being, quality of life and a more stable and cohesive community. 3. (a) is the increased efficiency and effectiveness of the community and voluntary groups and organisations that use the facilities, resulting in enhanced outcomes and service delivery and, consequently, and improved quality of life for those who benefit from the work of these groups and organisations. - (b) Increased awareness, knowledge, and confidence around the benefits of physical activity and increasing the number of champions and advocates. 4. Maximising the national, local, and anecdotal data and insight that relates directly to or can inform our charitable activity to support people to be more physically active and directly support our beneficiaries The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance when reviewing and deciding what activities the charity should undertake. Th trustees also state that no harm arose from the purposes, the beneficiaries are the general public and locally based community and voluntary organisations, and that no private benefit arises from these purposes. ## Structure, Governance and Management The charity was set up to exit Think Active from the hosting arrangement with Coventry City Council. Think Active CSW’s governing document is a constitution and is available via the Charity Commission website. Think Active CSW is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The recruitment and selection method for trustees is through open recruitment. The Think Active CSW Board of Trustees assembles a nominations committee to formally review and interview and subject to a preferred candidate passing Charity Commission criteria, the Board of Trustees has final say. There are no methods for any person or external body to appoint to the Think Active CSW Board of Trustees. Trustees are selected based on having the necessary skills and expertise to contribute to the charity’s activities and to be able to discharge their obligations as Trustees. As at the date of signing this report the Think Active Trustees were as follows: 4 Day to day management is delegated by the Trustees to Vicky Joel, Director of Think Active CSW. We would like to thank Val Birchall of Coventry City Council who worked with and supported the Board and team through the transition to a charity with expertise and invaluable advice and guidance. ## Trustees' responsibilities for reporting, accounting records and stewardship of assets The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable independent organisation for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: - 1) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. - 2) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. - 3) make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. - 4) state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - 5) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Commission requirements. They are responsible for safeguarding the of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. They are also responsible for the maintenance and integrity of Think Active’s financial information included on Think Active’s website. ## Team and Volunteers Instrumental to the delivery of Think Active’s objectives is a small team of people on fixed term contracts, all paid for by external funding (Sport England). Whilst the Think Active HQ is the coworking space at 1 Mill Street, Leamington, the team operate a blended way of working that involves, working from HQ, working from home and out and about to meet partners and stakeholders to meet the needs of the business. 5 ## Other References and Administrative Details ## Independent Examiner Harrison Beale & Owen Limited, Highdown House, 11 Highdown Road, Leamington Spa, CV31 1XT ## Bankers CAF Bank 25 Kings Hill Avenue, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent, ME19 4JQ By order of and on behalf of the Think Active Board of Trustees Vicky Joel Director, Think Active on behalf of the Board of Trustees. 29 December 2022 6 ## Achievements, Performance and Future Plans Think Active Trustees refreshed the Inspiring Active Communities to become our #WeThinkActive strategy which was adopted in February 2022. A summary of the main activities that Think Active have undertaken are as described as follows. ## Tackling Inequalities Fund £96,000 grant funding awarded to 36 organisations. Organisations in receipt reported that their funding had benefitted over 900 people. 36 LOCAL ORGANISATIONS RECEIVED GRANTS OF AROUND £2,500 6 ONLINE COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE THAT PROVIDED SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE TO APPLICATIONS AND PROVIDED A FORUM FOR CLUBS AND GROUPS TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER A Sudanese asylum seeker said: "it is very hard in the hotel as we don't have anything to do and have a lot of stress. I used to just sit in my room all the time and think, which was not good for me. I love playing football, and the football has been so nice for me and my friends. It helps keep us active, and also to meet other people in the hotel who are like us and like playing football, but who I hadn't met before." An Eritrean asylum seeker said: "it gives me so much joy and energy every week having the chance to play football, and we wish we could play even more often. I met Matt through football and have now joined his English classes that him and his team provide and have started volunteering as well." ## Coleshill Community Hub “The participant numbers increased, and the ladies developed new friendships and brought their friends to the class. We met our target audience and engaged new ladies who hadn't done keep fit previously. We even had ladies arriving on their mobility scooters and then joining in sitting on a chair.” 7 ## Opening School Facilities - £99,456 of grants awarded to 13 schools across Coventry, Solihull, and Warwickshire to provide access to sports facilities in the evenings and weekends for the school and local community and for sports clubs and groups. 26% of participants reported from ethnically diverse communities 25% of participants reported as Special Educational Needs & Disabilities 41% of participants reported as being eligible for free school meals 8 Community Fund £42,576.33 awarded in grants to 13 organisations to increase physical activity in our focus communities (Nuneaton & Bedworth, North Warwickshire, North Solihull, Foleshill, Canley, Willenhall, Bell Green, Woodend in Coventry) ## Participant Feedback Participants have improved physical wellbeing 100% Participants have improved mental wellbeing 93% Participants have improved confidence & self-esteem 100% Participants contribute to stronger, safer & more inclusive communities 70% Participants have positive attitudes [towards others, learning, the future] 100% Participants have improved interpersonal relationships 65% Participants demonstrate more positive behaviours 100% Participants participate more in competitive sport & physical activity 65% "I enjoy the environment and how everyone is here to play for fun and is not just about winning. I also like its indoors and I have made some new friends. Instead of been at the parks or at home, I get to play Football and look forward to it every week. We get to play different games and it’s not always Football. I get to improve my Football skills and maybe I will find a Football club next year to join. It feels very safe and it’s in a friendly environment with people from different Schools. I have made new friends and also get to go with my own friends as well. I like that its open for everyone and not just good players". - Participant A ## Parent Feedback "It's good for the kids, builds friendships, improves mental health, it's a stress release, it has physical benefits, and encourages problem solving and team building within in a safe and positive environment. The sessions get them out the house, releases frustrations and helps them manage their own feelings from mentoring by both coaches. It helps crucially because you know who they are with, trustworthy, it's a safe environment and the coaches are really committed and supportive of the kids" "It’s really fun and the coaches are always up for a laugh and keep the session moving without interrupting it. I am used to strict coaches who only care about winning and don’t care about the players enjoying it as long as they are improving. The coaches here talk to you about school and other things and joke with you more. It’s really good for my anxiety because I get to relax and have fun with my friends instead of always focusing on Rugby. It also improves my footwork for rugby because I can kick the ball better now. I hope it keeps continuing because it helps me mentally to enjoy sports. It’s a lot safer than Rugby and the teams are always split fair. I know some of the people from my School and some from parks but also met new people. There’s a lot of people coming now but they are nearly all the same age"- Participant B 47% of participants were female, 53% were male. 1912 participants took part in sport and physical activity sessions through the Community Fund 8% of participants reported as having a disability or a long-term health condition. Plus, an additional 11,178 participants were active as part of the Solihull Active Parks project in partnership with North Solihull Sport & South Solihull Sport 9 ## Events 1 x Forest School Games event including opportunities for young people who have previously not engaged or been included in physical activity at school. The day included Den Building, Fire lighting, Gun Carriage Racing and Orienteering. All activities involved moderate to intense physical activity, working as a group and being outside. It also provided these young people the opportunity to be the focus of attention and to commit fully to the experience. Image: Participants at the Think Active CSW Forest School Games (October 2021) The participants reported 20% of participants were not confident to take part in sport, physical activity, and exercise and 80% said that they did not find being active or taking part in sport easy until they had seen it and knew what to do or could copy someone. 60% of participants were confident to take part. 100% of participants said once they were participating, they had fun, they enjoyed being with their friends or liked being competitive but didn’t often get chance. 10 ## Virtual School Games As we emerged out of the restrictions of the pandemic, we retained the virtual school games programme that we had jointly created and introduced in partnership with the School Games Organisers during lockdown. This meant that whatever happened with the pandemic we were able to provide fun and accessible opportunities for children and their families where they live. 11 THINK Active IVS been lovolyto hur someof the Incredlblefeedbockthat s¢m¢ ofy¢¥ hw¢s•nt w owth¢ l•# ••• T*h•t you to Hy•boutth• Cmntry.

Each club produced a sustainability action plan which as we work through emerging out of the restrictions helped the club to navigate a difficult time in an informed and planned way. ## The findings included. All 4 groups said they agreed or strong agreed that the project has “increased by understand of areas I need to develop to make a strong group”. _“It has allowed me to re-evaluate my organisations current position and look at what needs to be in place to enable my organisation to grow and become resilient” (_ Hope in Unity) All 4 groups said they agreed or strong agreed that “The project has increased my understanding of how planning can help to make my club stronger”.

This has led to a further contract with Mind to extend this pilot across Warwickshire to support clubs to implement their action plans and engage new clubs. ## Supporting Leadership opportunities in underrepresented demographics 4 Organisations were funded to deliver a young leaders project to support over 80 young people to gain a Sports Leader Qualification. _‘The impact the funding had on the organisation allowed us to engage a new group of young people away from the organisation and give them an opportunity to engage with people who are wanting to achieve very similar outcomes not only did they receive life skills and knowledge they have to gain a accredit qualification which will help with employment steps and future education._ ’ Positive Youth Foundation’ ## Confident, Capable, Inspirational people **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Incoming Resources During this first year as a charity, we have been funded by an existing funding contract from Sport England. Soon after Think Active was established as a charity, we were invited to apply for a further 5 years of funding. At the time of writing this report the 5 years of funding the value of £2,774,500 has been approved to start on 1 April 2022. The trustees are mindful to not rest and rely on this core funding, as there are other sources explore as a charitable independent organisation. In this financial period Think Active has not actively fundraised in support of our objectives. We have developed some separate funding streams for bespoke contracts a pieces of work which will come to fruition in the next financial period. We are also grateful to the ongoing financial support from the National Lottery and Sport England. 17 ## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THINK ACTIVE CSW ## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Think Active CSW ('the Company') I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the period 29 March 2021 to 31 March 2022. ## Responsibilities and basis of report As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. ## Independent examiner's statement Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
