## **Annual Report**
## **for the year ended 31 October 2024**
## **Charity Activities**
During the period, Crowland Leisure & Wellbeing Centre continued to work towards achieving its charitable objectives. We are proud to report the following key activities and achievements:
- Sustained membership growth.
- Providing employment for the local community.
- Improving health and wellbeing for all members.
- Additional gym equipment purchased for the good and benefit of the members.
- The addition of a Yoga class for the good and benefit of the members.
- The addition of a Zumba class for the good and benefit of the members.
- Trampolining club – increased hours for rental of sports hall which provides benefit to the community and generates income.

- Roller Hockey
## **Public benefit**
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and believe that the objects of the Leisure & Wellbeing Centre and the activities undertaken support this public benefit.
## **Financial Review**
## Income
Total income for the period was £77,093 (2023; £68,833).
This income was generated through gym use £61,432 (2023; £56,120) and sports hall use £15,661 (2023; £12,713).
## Expenditure
Total expenditure for the period was £67,316 (2023; £72,940).
Expenditure was for funding our charitable activities, equipment maintenance costs and supporting the administration of the charity, with the main component being wages £43,418 (2023; £40,431) and the rise in energy prices.
## Reserves
At the end of the financial period, the charity held a reserves deficit of £18,349 (2023; £28,126). This operational deficit has been financed by way of a long-term interest free loan from Crowland Parish Council who were pivotal in establishing the gym for the community having already converted the site for the purpose.
The charity does not have any restricted reserves and no specific reserves policy.
## **Governance**
The charity is governed by a board of trustees who oversee its activities, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The operation is managed by an employed Centre Manager.

## **Annual Report**
## **for the year ended 31 October 2024**
## **Future Plans**
Looking ahead, Crowland Leisure & Wellbeing Centre has ambitious plans to further its charitable objectives. Since the end of the reporting period, the charity continues to exceed income over costs by a small surplus that will be used to fund future projects for the community and repay liabilities accrued during the early months.
The trustees are very optimistic about the future and the charity continues to welcome new members.
As at the time of writing this report the gym has around 240 members, mostly based in Crowland. There is a growing community at the Centre with classes provided and other activities.
South View Primary School continue to make use of the sports hall during term time for the benefit of the children, providing additional space for the school to deliver physical education.
The trustees and Centre Manager have a number of new initiatives in the pipeline that we hope to see taking shape over the coming months and years.
We would like to express our gratitude to Crowland Parish Council, supporters, volunteers, and staff for their dedication and commitment to the charity’s mission. In particular, we would like to thank our Centre Manager, Alison Burton, for her dedication and commitment.
## **Trustees Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Charity 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Academy will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Academy and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
For and on behalf of the board of trustees:

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of CROWLAND LEISURE & WELLBEING CENTRE CIO**
## **For the year ended 31 October 2024**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 October 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 13.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirement of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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 financial statements to be reached.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the**
## **year ended 31 October 2024**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **(a) General information and basis of preparation**
Crowland Leisure & Wellbeing Centre CIO is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in England. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared on an accruals basis and a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity.
## **(b) Income recognition**
All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, and the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Membership is taken from members via direct debit each month and there is no contracted period of membership.
Key fob deposit income is initially recognised as a liability until such a time that the deposit becomes nonfundable in line with the charity terms and conditions at which point it is then recognised as income.
Gifts in kind in the form of donated assets are included at the fair value to the charity where this can be quantified.
## **(c) Expense recognition**
Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. The primary functional activity of the charity is the provision of a gym and Sports hall for physical exercise for the good of the community and extended area.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the accountancy fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
Support costs include all those overhead costs for utility services, and other services and costs, which are in support of the activity. They have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **(d) Gifts in Kind**
Gifts in Kind are brought into the financial statements where there is either a reasonable estimate of their fair value to the funds or the amount which is actually realised. Where a value cannot be determined, or a reasonable estimate applied, the gift is not included in the Statement of Financial Activities.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).

## **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)**
## **for the year ended 31 October 2024**
## **1. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **(e) Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objectives of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
## **(f) Taxation**
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
## **(g) Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Furniture, fixtures and fittings - 25.00% reducing balance Computer equipment - 33.33% reducing balance
## **(h) Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year**
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
## **(i) Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for the next 12 months from authorising the financial statements.
## **(j) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The useful economic life used to depreciate tangible fixed assets relates to the expected future performance of the assets acquired and management’s estimate of the period over which economic benefit will be derived from the asset.
The residual value of an asset is the estimated fair value of that asset at the end of its useful economic life and therefore is also dependent upon the estimation of that life span.
