## Andrew Beal 

The�￿nancial�year�ending�July�2022�has�been� challenging�for�the�UK�charity�sector�and�for Central�YMCA. 

When I wrote to you last year, we were optimistic that the lifting of COVID restrictions would result in a gradual return of members to our Club and that our education and training activities would also see a return to more normal trading conditions. The reality has been that some COVID restrictions remained in place until the spring, the recovery disappointed, and footfall in London and other major cities remains below pre-COVID levels. It is still unclear when, if at all, patterns of working and social interaction will return to their previous levels. This uncertainty has been further exacerbated by surging energy prices, the accompanying cost of living crisis and slower economic growth. Many of the people and organisations we support face signi�cant economic hardship and the need for our community programmes has never been greater. However, the Charity has had to absorb signi�cantly higher costs and faced weaker demand across its core income generating activities. 


This unexpected deterioration in trading conditions, the likelihood that these conditions persist or worsen in the coming year, and the accompanying need to sharpen our focus and reposition ourselves for the future has led the Charity to revisit its strategy. We are undertaking a thorough review of all our activities in order to ensure that we maximise our impact, on behalf of the communities we serve, whilst ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Charity’s �nances. This process involves decisions about how, where and in what form we deliver our services. A review of our property portfolio is also being undertaken to ensure that we deploy our resources as effectively as possible in order to maximise our charitable impact. 

The Charity entered the rolling crises of the last three years in a healthy position, but COVID and the cost-of-living crisis have now subsequently reduced our reserves. However, we retain signi�cant resources in terms of investments, property and our amazing and dedicated staff and volunteers. The Trustees and Executive team, together with our external advisers, are focused on completing a top-to-bottom review of the Charity early in 2023. We are keenly aware that it is not possible to “cut your way to growth”. Adjustments in strategy are likely to involve repositioning some of our activities as well as investment to ensure that the Charity can serve communities up and down the UK for many years to come. 

I would like to thank my fellow Trustees and our wonderful team of staff, volunteers and delivery partners who together work so hard to support our communities across the UK. I would particularly like to thank our Chief Executive, Arvinda Gohil, who will be leaving the Charity shortly. 

Over the coming year, we look forward to continuing to provide the much needed support to our communities, breaking down barriers to new opportunities in life.

## Arvinda Gohil 

Last�year,�I�was�optimistic�about�the�post-COVID�world.� Nothing�could�be�further�away�from�that�as�we�face�an� existential�crisis�as�a�country�as�well�as�globally. 

Would you ever have thought that a war on the other side of the world would affect the supply of chlorine to swimming pools and that a country like Russia could hold the rest of the world to ransom on energy supply and therefore its cost, resulting in serious fuel and food poverty right here amongst our friends, neighbours, and family? 

Despite all the macro issues facing us, organisations such as Central YMCA with decades of history and impact, continue to �nd creative and meaningful ways to support our communities in these most challenging times. 

Last year, we celebrated our 178th birthday, giving us an opportunity to re�ect on our work since inception and its relevance today. For generations, we have acted as a place of support for our communities; tackling social challenges and creating programmes which re�ect the needs of our society at the time. 

In lieu of presents, we asked our amazing supporters and Club members to give a gift to those who need it most. Thanks to them, we were able to launch a new Refugee Bursary; giving anyone who is �eeing their home country access to our gym and facilities. The impact of having somewhere safe to go, where you can exercise, �nd childcare, make friends or simply sit and have a hot drink cannot be underestimated. 

Within our education provision, we continue to nurture learners, have seen some great successes, and continue to see our achievement rates exceed the national average. People like Tommy, one of our Horticulture apprentices who managed to achieve a triple distinction. 

We are driven by equity, believing that everyone can thrive given the right platform, and so are not afraid to create new initiatives which help achieve this. This year, we listened to women within the �tness industry, which led to YMCA�t creating a new womenonly personal training course providing a safe and empowering environment. 

I am also delighted to say that our accredited awards are now delivered by 229 approved training providers across the UK and internationally, including Ireland, Spain, Malta and the United Arab Emirates. 

This year also saw us re-join the national YMCA movement and we have been inspired by the warmth and dedication of all our fellow YMCAs. We cannot wait to work more closely together in the coming years, to support all our communities. 

Over the last three years, I have been grateful for the support received and the partnerships we have collaborated on across England supporting our mission and purpose. Of particular note for me is the increased focus on supporting diverse communities in all we do and the specialist interventions that have created real change and increased opportunity for people. 

As I relinquish my tenure here, I am reminded of the privilege I have had to be associated with the legacy of our founder, Sir George Williams, and am con�dent we will be here addressing social needs in another hundred years’ time. I wish my colleagues all the best in their future endeavours and thank them for their support, commitment and passion.

## THE THEORY OF CHANGE 2021—2024 Strategy 

One year into our three-year strategy, we continue�to�focus�on�ensuring��nancial� viability and long-term sustainability while the needs of our communities remain at the heart of what we do. As an organisation, we continually learn from and adapt to feedback, review aims and resources, and implement viable projects, programmes and support. 

Just as we have over the past 178 years, we re�ect upon the needs of our communities in an effort to truly create change. From education to mental health and wellbeing, a unique set of circumstances has signi�cantly impacted those who bene�t from and rely upon our services, highlighting key health disparities amongst marginalised groups and calling for a robust strategy in a post-pandemic world. 

Central YMCA recognises the importance of accessible work trajectories leading toward further education and employment, all under our holistic umbrella; overall health and wellbeing. This is why we do what we do - supporting people with their ambitions and wellbeing to help them lead a ful�lled life.

## EDUCATION 

With a focus on equity and progression, our education  pathways    provide a variety of ways to shape the next generation, from Study Programmes to Traineeships. 

As an alternative to traditional routes, such as college or A Levels, Central YMCA educational provision is often the �rst choice for learners— supporting pre-16 and 16-19-year-olds to develop skills and gain the necessary quali�cations to secure a lasting career. 

Employers want more than just a quali�cation; they want skilled, work-ready and motivated individuals. Through our provision, which spans a wide range of industries, that’s exactly what our learners become. 

Study Programme 509 learners Achievement Rate 73% 

Every individual has unique needs, ambitions and backgrounds, which is why tailoring our offer is key to the success of our learners.

## “ 

Attending CYMCA has shaped me as a person for the future. Gave me a purpose to carry on and made me feel valued. I have grown as a person. Achieved things I never thought I could. I never thought I would be able to go to college, but I have and I am loving it. I have the determination to either go to university or stay at college, but not sure which route I want to take yet. I am no longer embarrassed about my mental health and have grown not just in con�dence but as a person. This is all due to my time at CYMCA and the support I gained from staff.“

## EDUCATION 

## Fitness Training Academy: our 𿿿agship�education�project 

## Creating improved access to life-changing opportunities 

Our Fitness Training Academy (FTA) gives 16-18 year olds the worldclass�skills�and�quali�cations�to�become�personal�trainers.�More�than�just� a�quali�cation,�the�FTA�is�a�unique,�practical�and�inclusive�career�path� that gives young people a sense of belonging. 

Over the past three years, we partnered with Nike to create a course that gives young people the knowledge and con�dence to become skilled Personal Trainers, to continue to inspire the community and move the �tness industry forwards in an equitable manner. 

Designed for the next generation of Personal Trainers, we are bridging the gap between the classroom and the real world while empowering young people to contribute to the �tness industry. Taught by world-class industry experts, our graduates hit the ground running with �tness knowledge that gives them a head start. 

This dynamic two-year course combines practical workshops and engaging classroom theory with gym �oor experience. Learners gain regulated YMCA Awards quali�cations, endorsed by CIMSPA, that certify their ability to: 

- instruct gym-based and group exercise programmes, as well as deliver personal training 

- develop a range of clients (individuals, small groups and large groups) 

- work in a range of environments (indoors, outdoors and in community settings) 

Championed by our learners, 2021/22 kicked off with all centres returning to face-to-face delivery and full gym access – a critical practical component of the course linked to industry employment, where learners thrive. The year-end saw a Level 3 graduation, with participants from Leeds, London and Manchester. 

FTA seeks to make the �tness industry accessible and inclusive for ALL young people, and we are delighted that this year saw the highest number of Black and Minoritised Ethnic learners joining our programme, with 27% female participants (compared to 23% last year) and 28% from a BAME background (compared to 23% last year). 





## EDUCATION 

## OUR FTA PARTNERS Evolving sustainable partnerships with like-minded companies 

Partnership working is integral to ensuring success and we were delighted to have made strong links with leading industry companies this year, such as Pure Gym, Virgin Active and GLL who have guaranteed interviews to our Level 3 learners on completion of the course. 

“ 


The course has enabled me to get back into education without feeling like I was behind or out of place from leaving school early. It also gave me an opportunity to have a career in something that I’m passionate about and that will continue to help my mental health and con�dence. It’s given me hope for the future. “

## TRAINING 

The pandemic taught us that we could deliver training remotely. As�we�transitioned�into�a�new�era,�we�remained�𿿿exible�by�training� in a hybrid fashion, continuing with online delivery whilst bringing back face-to-face for those who needed it. 

As one of England’s largest charitable training providers, our Skills team has over 40 years’ of experience delivering high-quality apprenticeships with a wrap around approach for our learners.  With each learner at the heart of our delivery, we remain steadfast in  our commitment to support their journey and instil a level of con�dence and sense of pride in all their achievements, no matter how big or small. 

Delivering apprenticeships across the range of vocations nationwide allows us to remain agile to respond to developments in the apprenticeship world, ESFA’s evolving standards, local authorities’ focus and our employer’s needs, whilst supporting the apprentice.

## A reason to celebrate ... 

2021/22 was also momentous as we were able to come back together to host our annual Apprenticeship Awards in person at the House of Commons. 

We were nothing short of thrilled to gather again in person at the House of Commons for our annual Apprentice Awards. Following a year celebrating virtually, it was a much-deserved evening for our learners and employers surrounded by MPs and partners. 






“ If there is any organisation in the country that is synonymous with training and apprenticeships, it’s Central YMCA. They are a force to be reckoned with, and absolutely brilliant at not just celebrating apprentices and apprenticeships, but also at celebrating those fantastic employers. We all have to remember that for every apprentice, there is an employer who supports them throughout their training.“

New and innovative businesses participated in the Scheme via our Gateway, emerging from a post-pandemic economy and tapping into a changed way of life. 

**BodyStreet** is a globally lauded health and �tness organisation, which empowered the lives of customers and partners alike with a transformative approach to training. 

**LONDNR** powered potential with marketing and digital design placement opportunities, often inaccessible to young people who may not have had vast experience or education in the �eld. 

**Money A&E** transformed lives of diverse ethnic communities through �nancial education, advice and resilience. 

**Green Tec Holding** an international tech company in the green space, offered remote work experience placements providing the opportunity to prepare for a new way of working through tech-based employment. 








- “ I feel as though working in the Club has left an impact on me because I have been able to grow my con�dence and my ability to approach and speak to people who I am meeting for the �rst time. Working in the Club has also helped motivate me on my physical health which has in turn been able to help make me feel better mentally as well as making me more open to trying activities I would have previously thought were too much for me to handle.

With specialist support from Central YMCA and Potters Resort, Tommy achieved a triple distinction in a Horticulture apprenticeship. 

Nominated for Doncaster & South Humber NHS Foundation's Apprentice of the Year Award in 2022, Deborah made great strides both during and post-COVID, achieving success with Central YMCA and Doncaster & South Humber NHS Foundation. 

“ 

The best thing about being an apprentice is the opportunity to learn from others and not being expected to know everything as people are encouraging you to learn on the job. No student debt, and I'm now able to consider setting up my own business.“

## HEALTH 

## Through�challenging�times,�Central�YMCA�has�remained� resilient and continue to make brave and bold decisions. 

When the world went into lockdown and we had to close our doors, there was an inevitable knock-on effect on our community and membership base (both concessionary and non-concessionary). 

Despite now being open, we have seen a drop in membership income from non-concessionary members, namely corporates, following a general change in working style: hybrid and remote working has resulted in fewer companies returning to full-time work in Central London. However, despite this, our overall membership has increased from 5,152 last year to 6,199 this year.

## HEALTH 

We’re passionate about fostering an ethos of inclusivity and creating a welcoming space for our members across our two central London venues, YMCA�Club�and�YMCA�KX. 

Our 96,876 square foot Club in the heart of Camden is an iconic anchor of the community. With a �tness and wellbeing community like no other, we have programmes for all people, all bodies, all ages and all levels. We believe in physical health for mental wellbeing, supporting those from 4 years old to 90 years old. This year we also re-launched our KX venue as a dedicated Yoga and Pilates studio. 

At our heart is our commitment to diversity; creating a safe space for people from all backgrounds and walks of life to thrive. This is re�ected in our diverse membership and community programmes. We are something for everyone and will always be a safe space for those who need it. 

## We are so much more than ‘just a gym’. We are a community.

## HEALTH 

Our Club is the home to over 1,000 older adults who come here to improve and maintain good health through �tness and friendship. By offering functional movement classes alongside a range of social events, we are reducing loneliness in the capital by creating opportunities for retired Londoners to meet. We have members who have been with us for 40+ years – we are more than just a gym, we are a community. 




Alongside this, it is where eight schools get their physical activity requirements through our curricular PE programme as well as extracurricular swimming and �rst aid, alongside action-packed Holiday Playschemes and After School Sports. Our vibrant and inclusive programme develops children’s physical, emotional and creative skills in a nurturing environment. 

Our Club is also a sanctuary for those living with HIV. Our Positive Health programme, devoted to encouraging HIV+ individuals to exercise in a nonclinical setting, is the only exercise referral programme that deals exclusively with people patients who are HIV+ and so is a unique project which we are extremely proud of. This year we helped 178 people, 113 of whom were referred to us this year and an additional 62 who were referred in previous years and have taken out memberships and still regularly attend.

## PARTNER SPOTLIGHT 

This summer we were delighted to partner with Camden Summer University to offer free exercise classes to young people aged 13 - 19 giving them the chance to learn something new, make friends, and most importantly have fun. 

In 2022 we ran our ever-popular basketball, street dance and trampoline classes, and we look forward to offering this again next year. 

## “ 

Camden Summer University students have an amazing time at Central YMCA! Their facilities are some of the best in the borough, young people are warmly welcomed and supported during their visit, staff are friendly and patient. A great partner to work with “

## RECOGNISING OUR WORK IN THE COMMUNITY 

We were delighted to host Keir Starmer in our Club. He met learners, volunteers, members and staff and heard about the Charity’s work aimed at strengthening communities and breaking down barriers through health and education programmes. 

## “ 

It’s fantastic to come back to Central YMCA again and see the incredible work they are doing in the community, particularly with schools and young people, which has a huge impact not only on physical health and mental health but also on the education and skills that young people need. An inspiring visit.“

## GIRLS MOVE Celebrating empowerment 

This�year,�we�launched�GIRLS�Move�-�a�programme�designed� speci�cally�for�young�girls�from�Black,�Asian�and�Minoritised� Ethnic communities, to support them in realising their potential and achieving their goals. 

GIRLS Move celebrates empowerment. Funded by Sport England, we have partnered with YMCA England and Wales, YMCA Bradford, and One YMCA to expand our reach and encourage this community to be more physically active in a non-traditional way. 

We aim to support participants to become emotionally healthy, building self-con�dence and self-esteem and encourage them to volunteer in social action projects within their community.   Creating a culture of equity, with our community and beyond. 

As we rejoin the broader YMCA movement, we are excited to collaborate on building an effective and sustainable programme, with the aim to replicate and roll this model out across the country. 

GIRLS Move has the potential to transform the lives of so many young women and implement change. We are delighted to be piloting the �rst of these courses this Autumn, creating a culture of equity, in line with our vision.

## LIVING BETTER WITH ARTHRITIS Sharing�expertise�to�ful�l our purpose 

10 million people in the UK are affected by arthritis. However, those with long-term conditions such as arthritis spend less than 1% of their time with a healthcare professional and instead are expected to manage it themselves for much of their lives. 

That is why we partnered with Arthritis Action this year to pilot two Open Clinics at our Club. We share a natural synergy with Arthritis Action’s self-management approach and our goal to support people to become physically and emotionally healthy in a safe setting. Working in partnership, we can integrate our skills and expertise to further our common purpose - improving the quality of life of those in our communities. 

With our combined expertise in managing pain, weight management, keeping active, improving movement and providing speci�c dietary support for those living with this condition, we can offer free tailored advice speci�c to individual needs. 

December 2021 saw the �rst clinic adapt to an online consultation within a matter of days as the omicron variant of COVID-19 was identi�ed, with appointments conducted over Zoom or on the phone. Despite this unexpected shift, feedback was overwhelmingly positive. 




## The second clinic ran in April 2022 and received excellent feedback and 100% attendance. 

Thanks to the success of this initiative and the demand for additional clinics, our new partnership with Arthritis Action has successfully received funding from London Catalyst and the Hospital Saturday Fund. A series of Open Clinics will run in 2023, supporting even more people to manage this condition in a supported environment.

## AWARDS 

## CREATING CAREER FOCUSED COURSES 

YMCA Awards is our awarding and end-point assessment organisation and continues to be a leading, go-to partner in the �tness and education sector.  With 24 years experience developing UK-regulated and globally recognised quali�cations, we have awarded over half a million quali�cations and 300,000 people have advanced their careers with YMCA Awards. 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has continued to affect our impact this year, with reduced learner registrations in 2020/21, meaning fewer learners attending and available to certi�cate in 2021/22. However, signi�cant year-on-year growth in registrations during 2021/22 re�ects increased training provider con�dence; that they will be able to access the gyms and �tness facilities required to deliver most of our quali�cations. 

2021/22 saw the �rst learners complete our new �agship Level 2 Diploma in Exercise and Fitness Instructing. Developed during the pandemic and fully endorsed against professional standards from The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA), this quali�cation combined our most popular products to provide learners with a fully rounded programme of study.

Learners gained achievements 

Approved training providers across the UK and internationally including�Ireland,� Malta,�Spain�and� United Arab Emirates 

Registered learners +20% year on year 

Learners  completing this quali�cation gained the occupational competence required to get a job whilst expanding their scope of practice to work with special populations (e.g. inactive people, children and young people) and in different environments (e.g. in community settings).

## AWARDS 

## PARTNER SPOTLIGHT 

- “ At Coleg Gwent, we love the �exibility this quali�cation provides. We can adapt the units delivered to the needs of each unique cohort whilst remaining con�dent learners are gaining the skills required to be successful in the sector. 

Following the introduction of the YMCA Level 2 Diploma in Exercise and Fitness Instructing, we’ve found learners are more enthusiastic to progress, either seeking employment within the sector or enrolling on to level 3 quali�cations at the college. In fact, every learner who has left after this quali�cation has secured a job as a result of the knowledge and skills they have developed.

## COMMUNITY PROJECTS 

## MEDWAY TOGETHER Collaboration and social impact within the community 

Funded by the UK Government’s Community Renewal Fund, Medway Together is a unique partnership, combining decades of experience from academia and the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) with a common goal: to bring about change and provide real employment opportunities. 

## Its purpose was threefold: 

- Pilot a programme with innovative pathways into employment.  Improve the employability landscape for underemployed groups in the area. 

- Strengthen relationships between third sector, employers and statutory services in Medway, to increase social impact. 

With this programme, we have established new ways of working together to bring about real change. With an understanding that different groups have different needs, this innovative and targeted approach sought to capitalise on the expertise, trust, reach and strength of Medway’s voluntary sector. 

“ De�nitely an opportunity to take to help you make progress - I had applied to over 50 jobs with no success. Now I have two job offers.“ 

## Medway�Together�participant� 

## Innovative partners creating change 

This programme would not have been possible without our delivery partners: our project partner, the University of Greenwich, and anchor organisations from the Voluntary Sector in Medway: Medway Voluntary Action; Medway Diversity Forum; NET; CAP Enterprise; Centre for Independent Living Kent (CiLK); wHoo Cares; Carers First; Home Start; Great Leaps and the Kent Association for the Blind. 

These organisations were chosen due to their interventions targeted at niche groups, who have repeatedly suffered persistent disadvantages when accessing employment opportunities. 

## Together,�we�engaged�435�people�in�Medway� and saw some remarkable outcomes.

## OUR PEOPLE Equality, diversity and inclusion 

At our heart, our mission is to provide diverse, innovative, and distinctive services based on the principles of openness, acceptance, and participation, where individuals can feel safe to be themselves. To do this we must create an equitable environment where our people are supported to create and sustain a culture of equity. 

In 2021, we developed an Equality Diversity and Inclusion strategy with some key objectives. This included the establishment of employee network groups which focus on disability, our LGBTQIA+ community, gender and race. Whilst the networks are still in the early stages of development, their focus will be to ensure we provide an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. 

## Mental Wellbeing 

In 2021, we launched a mental health forum to guide and inform the Charity’s mental health support provided to staff. The following initiatives were introduced as a result of this: 

1 

Introduction of mental health champions across the Charity. Trained in Mental Health First Aid, these individuals provide con�dential �rst line support to staff, signposting to external expertise and resources as required, and escalating broader issues to the mental health forum and our HR team. 

## Other activities undertaken included: 

- safe space conversations on mental health and for our people of Black, Asian and Minoritised Ethnic backgrounds. 

- a programme of training for staff and Trustees focussed on inclusive conversations and leadership. 

- improvements to data collection to support targeted interventions and initiatives. 

- a full review of recruitment and retention processes. 

2 

Launched mental health training for staff and additional training for managers. This included additional training for those working in our education and training provision to support learners with their mental health and wellbeing. 

45 



## PEOPLE STRATEGY 

We could not deliver our services without our talented and dedicated staff and volunteers. A key focus of the management team during this period of continued turbulence has been to ensure strong communication and engagement with our people. This has included regular town halls and staff forums, employee newsletters, surveys, and focus groups. 

The Charity’s people strategy is focussed on addressing the areas for improvement highlighted through employee feedback. This includes initiatives in the following areas: 

## Safeguarding 

We take our responsibilities for safeguarding extremely seriously and believe that every child, young person, and vulnerable adult has the right to protection from harm, abuse, and exploitation. We are dedicated to protecting those participating on our programmes and ensuring our people have the skills to identify and raise concerns. 

Activities to support our people undertake their safeguarding responsibilities include: 

- greater support for employee wellbeing. 

- improved engagement and connection. 

- communication and support during periods of change. 

- further embedding our values into our culture and ways of working. 

- employee recognition, including training and development opportunities. 

Looking forward will see a greater focus on capturing employee voice and ensuring we respond to this, introducing a new employee engagement platform, developing a tailored learning and development plan supporting the individual needs of our operations and the implementation of an external accreditation to help transform the way we lead, support and develop our people. 

- designated Safeguarding Leads and Designated Safeguarding Of�cers across the Charity, along with a dedicated Trustee Lead for Safeguarding. 

- relationships with local safeguarding boards to identify learners at risk and to provide support. 

- an annual programme of training for all staff, with speci�c training for those with additional responsibilities. 

- a Safeguarding committee to share best practice, risks, concerns and support continual improvement.

## Our commitment to net zero 

We are committed to pro-actively managing our direct and indirect environmental impact. We recognise our responsibility to reduce our carbon and environmental footprints and play our part in the UN backed global Race To Zero. 

In alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, we have launched an Environmental Sustainability Group with input from staff across the Charity. This helps us to play our part in creating a more environmentally sustainable community. 

Some of the key activities undertaken during the year include: 

- an environmental sustainability policy and action plan, with a key focus of building a more sustainable culture across our national sites and improve our environmental impact 

- a digital platform to measure our emissions, reduce our environmental impact and build our action plan. This allows us to take concrete action and assess our impact across multiple measures including emissions, waste, water, offsets, and suppliers. 

- the development of an environmental sustainability guide to raise awareness and engage staff in the delivery of our action plan. 

At the end of July 2023, we will undertake an assessment to provide detailed information on how we can continue to play our part in building a more environmentally sustainable organisation.

Details of investments are set out in note 11 of the accounts.<br>Reserves policy<br>The Board of Trustees has established the level of free reserves (that is, those funds that are freely available) that the Charity ought<br>to have. Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between carrying out activities and receiving the funds for those activities. This<br>policy was reviewed in 2021 and the Board agreed that the previous policy that free reserves should cover six months’ operating<br>expenditure was still appropriate for the Charity.

|(q) Financial instruments<br>The Group has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of fnancial instruments.<br>Basic fnancial assets, including investments, trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at<br>transaction price. Investments are subsequently measured at fair value, concessionary loans are not subsequently re-measured and<br>other fnancial instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.<br>Other than long-term loans (greater than one year), basic fnancial liabilities, including trade and other payables are initially rec-<br>ognised at transaction price and subsequently at amortised cost. Long-term loans are recognised at the present value of future cash<br>fows stated discounted at the market rate of interest.<br>Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the associated cash fows are settled or expire or when the risks<br>and rewards of ownership are transferred to a third party. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is discharged,<br>cancelled or expires.<br>(r) Apportionment of expenses<br>Charitable expenses are allocated directly against the operation to which they relate and represent the cost of running the pro-<br>gramme.<br>Governance costs include audit, company secretarial and strategic management costs. Support costs, which include Governance<br>costs, have been allocated using a range of calculation and allocation methods most appropriate to the type of expenditure in<br>question.|Apportionment method|HR costs, staff related expenditure and insurance costs<br>Staff numbers|Marketing, Finance, Facilities, IT and central staff costs<br>Turnover by operations|NPD and Business Development costs<br>Direct by project/expense incurred|(s) Funds<br>Funds held by the Association are either:<br>• unrestricted general funds – these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of<br>the Trustees<br>• designated funds – these are funds set aside by the Trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specifc future purposes or<br>projects<br>• restricted funds – these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the Association.<br>Restrictions arise when specifed by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.<br>• endowment fund – these are funds are gifts of endowments where the Trustees have the power to utilise in line with the<br>objects of the Association.<br>Further explanation of the nature and purposes of each fund is included in notes 17 and 18.|
