Introduction from the Chair and the Chief Executive Officer for the year ended 31 March 2022
Chairman’s Statement
There is no shortage of challenges to be conquered in the quest to create a healthier and happier nation, and the coaching community has been and is impacted by the continuing turmoil in the world as much as anyone else.
The ongoing fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic has preceded a cost of living crisis compounded by the war in Ukraine. Together, these create an environment that challenges and can confound even the most determined efforts to increase activity and help bring down the barriers that prevent so many from enjoying and benefitting from an active lifestyle.
In England, we know that activity levels are significantly down compared to pre-pandemic with 600k (1.9%) fewer active adults and 1.3m (2.6%) more inactive adults than in 2019. It’s also the case that the same groups who were hit hardest by lockdown will be hit hardest by the looming economic crisis.
In the aftermath of COVID-19, we supported 25,000 coaches in some of the country's hardest hit areas to get them back into coaching and back to getting people active.
Our response to the current crisis must be to focus on how our work can help tackle the inequalities at the heart of sport and activity, as well as to provide great support and learning to all our current and future coaches.
Against that background, UK Coaching has continued its transformation to be 'Here for the Coach'. More than 173,000 coaches are now registered to use our learning and development content. They are the coaching family. Now is the time to ensure that they have the support that they need to unleash their potential and change lives.
UK Coaching continues to work closely with Sport England and many other partners to take forward our agenda of 'Uniting the Movement'. In the coming months, we will roll out an ambitious project called the 'Children's Coaching Collaborative'.
This work aims to change the way that children are coached, shining a light on the importance and the wide-ranging benefits of child-led, rather than adult-led, sessions. The aspiration is to change the culture of coaching in a way that is a game changer for our young people.
We have also been working hard to change the environment for women in coaching, banging the drum for more opportunities as well as sharing stories from current women’s coaches to empower more people to consider a career in coaching.
At UK Coaching, we continue our own internal transformation. We have moved to new modern digital headquarters in the centre of Leeds, and across the country, we have increased the extent of our hybrid working for our people in the field. We continue to invest in our digital modernisation, especially focussing on the UK Coaching Club as the virtual home of coaching to ensure that we can continue to meet the needs of the diverse coaching family.
I believe that one of the best nights of the year is our UK Coaching Awards – a truly inspirational event that renews one's faith in the ability of human beings to nurture and inspire others to achieve the unimaginable and that provides clear testimony of the importance of ensuring that coaches receive the support that they need to flourish.
In 2021, it was great to see the event held in Leeds and to be able to bring so many of the coaching family together again. The upcoming 2022 UK Coaching Awards will again raise the profile of coaching in the UK, celebrating our hard-working coaching family for their efforts in all sports and physical activities.
I would like to thank all the magnificent team at UK Coaching for their hard work. From the newest recruit to the longest-serving veteran, they make their Board proud. I would also like to express my gratitude for the hard work and commitment of all our board members and to reach out to our many partners to thank them for their support.
Tackling inequalities and changing lives is a team effort. While there is much more to do, we hope that we have taken significant steps in the past 12 months to unite the movement.

Introduction from the Chair and the Chief Executive Officer (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022
The coming months may be as testing as any over the pandemic period, and UK Coaching pledges to do its part in meeting and beating the challenges ahead.
Atholl Duncan Chair
Date 8 December 2022
Chief Executive Officer’s Statement
It has been another roller coaster year for people, their communities, and the whole sector, as many sports clubs and organisations had to adapt quickly to overcome the innumerable and ever-changing challenges presented by COVID-19.
However, with a rise in the number of people exercising outside, an increased focus on bringing coaching into the digital world, and the growing use of technology to help unite communities in the face of adversity, the future of coaching is looking bright and exciting, and we’re keen to advocate and support this positive digital transformation.
Having invested in our digital capability pre-pandemic, we adapted quickly and efficiently to meet the needs of coaches and our staff. We accelerated ahead of schedule with the delivery of online classrooms, workshops (when safe and appropriate to do so) and courses to enable new and existing coaches to enhance their skills and continue their professional development to grow their skills despite the challenges.
As we learned to adapt to the frequent changes to guidance on sport and physical activity, we focused on creating a blended learning approach by making learning readily available and accessible. Alongside that, we also continued to adapt and implement face-to-face learning when possible, to ensure that coaching could continue to meet everyone’s needs.
Over the last two years, we estimate that we have lost 20% of the coaching workforce. Activity leaders, fitness instructors, sports coaches, personal trainers and many more who are critical in the delivery of physical activity faced considerable challenges, and some had to make tough decisions about where it was practical and achievable for them to focus their energies.
When we lose a coach, we do not just lose a training session or a workout. We lose a connection with our community, the opportunity to hang out with and make new friends and an important opportunity to be active.
This is why UK Coaching is determined to be here for the coach.
In response to the ever-evolving adversity that coaches face, we engaged with seven of the nation’s leading sports to plan the delivery of #Born2Coach– a positive, future-focused movement aimed to inspire and empower more people to consider a career in coaching and realise their potential as part of the coaching family.
Our collective role at UK Coaching, alongside volunteer and paid coaches, is to support those who aspire to get involved in coaching, including those interested in a coaching career. We want to make it easier for new coaches to thrive and current coaches to advance, and to ensure that a progressive and recognised career is available for anyone and everyone who is #Born2Coach.
Some communities have been affected more than others. If we are to make sure that great coaching is accessible to all, we must have a greater focus on and support for these communities going forward.
This is why we’re working with partners to help grow and develop activity in these communities and to strengthen the range and number of opportunities available in coaching to reduce barriers preventing any aspiring coaches from being the best they can be.

Introduction from the Chair and the Chief Executive Officer (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022
From a long-term perspective, we believe that coaches will come out of the pandemic stronger and more successful than ever. But to help the industry achieve long-term success, we must recognise where we are now.
We know that great coaching is all about people, and we aim to live and breathe what we preach.
Recognising that our staff are critical to the success of the organisation and our work, we have invested in our staff over the last two years to support their needs, learning, and development and were delighted to feature on three Best Companies lists for 2022:
-
Not-For-Profit Body's Best Organisations To Work For.
-
Regional Best Companies.
-
UK's Best Mid-Sized Companies.
We are more committed than ever to be 'Here for the Coach' and will continue to celebrate and champion the difference that coaches make to people and communities from all backgrounds and walks of life.
Finally, and most importantly, on behalf of UK Coaching, we want to thank all those great coaches out there that continue to make a difference. Thank you for everything that you do.

Public benefit
Our Trustees have complied with their duty in accordance with the UK Charities Act 2011 to follow the Charity Commission’s guidance on the operation of this public benefit and the Trustees feel that the activities of the charity are such that the requirement is fulfilled without unfair restriction on access and without producing any detriment to the public. In particular, the trustees take care to ensure that planned activities contribute to the charity’s aims and objectives.
Strategic report
Achievements and performance
The achievements and performance of the charity and group are discussed in detail within the Chairman’s and CEO’s report.
The performance of the charity was affected in the year to 31 March 2022 by the COVID-19 crisis and inevitably we saw a reduction in some income streams but were able to also reduce our operating costs.
The organisation started in a strong position because of the prior year's acceleration of its digital capacity and positioning in the sector. In addition, our new office and updated key technologies helped staff work successfully in a hybrid manner.
With restrictions coming to an end, we were able to return to face-to-face coaching. Our workforce was able to balance their work both remotely and at HQ and they continued to give coaches and our partners the highest level of customer service.
Across our social media channels, we highlighted essential developments, campaigns and news from the coaching sector, and we successfully delivered both online and face-to-face workshops.

Strategic report (continued)
Achievements and performance (continued)
Our Leeds-based office allowed us to continue our work in becoming a more digital organisation and meet the needs of coaches. It enabled us to be agile in an ever-changing economic and social climate and deliver on our promise of supporting and delivering great coaching.
Our reaction to COVID-19 meant that we were able to support coaches and the sport and physical activity landscape through the uncertainty and changing environment caused by the pandemic, and once restrictions had been lifted, we were in a strong position to rebuild.
With research showing that the pandemic has had a more significant impact on people from disadvantaged backgrounds, we focused our campaigns and messaging on tackling inequalities and showing that we are ‘Here For the Coach,’ but also here for the next generation of coaches to help rebuild communities and individuals.
Plans for future periods
Looking ahead towards 2022-2023, we are keen to continue to reinvigorate the coaching workforce by encouraging more diverse coaches of all ages to join the sector through our #Born2Coach movement. The movement will position UK Coaching as the hub of learning and development for coaches through collaboration with our partners.
Our key objectives in 2022-2023 and for the future are to:
-
understand our customer and stakeholder needs and provide excellent customer service, ensuring we consult and liaise with our key customers to deliver our objectives;
-
deliver the best products and services to reinforce our mission, ensuring that learning and development, products and services are relevant, current, accessible and engaging;
-
develop, enable and facilitate a high-performing organisation focussing on our people and influencing a positive and diverse culture;
-
tackle inequalities to build a mass movement of highly trained, highly motivated, high-quality coaches to inspire and influence behaviour change across all age groups, levels of ability and backgrounds; and
-
create a sustainable business as a not-for-profit organisation with charitable status: every penny we receive, through investors or our own trading, is put back into our work to support and elevate coaches and coaching.
Operationally, we will help coaches, coach developers and the coaching system by focussing on:
-
research and insight ;
-
inclusion and diversity;
-
learning and development for coaches and the coach development workforce; and
-
marketing and communications and digital infrastructure.

Trustees' report (including strategic report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
Plans for future periods (continued)
These fall into four key areas of work:
-
Representing the coaching workforce and the impact they have on lives, communities and the nation by raising the profile of coaches through our campaigns and events.
-
Helping coaches to be great with learning and development , including tackling inequalities to develop more coaching opportunities, using the success of our Coach Development Programmes to design a new series of learning journeys, and developing the five pillars of Duty to Care to include more elements around safety, including first aid, risk assessment, sudden cardiac arrest, and clean sport content in collaboration with partners and subject matter experts.
-
Supporting coaches with products, services and information , such as insurance, financial and legal assistance, job information for coaching roles, funding opportunities, course listings and up-to-date information on helping coaches to return to play and more people to get involved in coaching.
-
Connecting coaches and collaborating with partners , including delivering connection events for coaches and partners, co-branded learning and resources to support coaches in their journey and enhancing and developing our UK Coaching Club.
The pandemic has significantly impacted everyone working in sport and physical activity. UK Coaching will provide a roadmap to a brighter future for all, where every individual has an equal opportunity to participate in physical activity and sport and get access to great coaching with all the extensive benefits that this brings.
The 10-year strategy set out by Sport England showed how the sport and physical activity industry will keep ‘movement, sport and activity central to lives of everyone’ throughout these uncertain times, while looking ahead to the future.
At UK Coaching, we believe that coaches will be central to achieving this aim and to rebuilding communities that were affected by the pandemic.

Trustees' report (including strategic report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
Financial review (continued)
b. Sources of funding (continued)
Our subsidiary, UK Coaching Solutions Limited , continues to deliver quality services to its partners. These services complement the core mission of the charity and its key business objectives so that the quality of coaching is enhanced at all levels.
UK Coaching Solutions Limited made a profit of 55,120 for 2021/22 and did not make any gift aid payments to UK Coaching for the year (2020/21 – loss of £489,088).
Physical Activity Limited and Professionals Active Registers LLP were dormant during the year.
The effects of the COVID-19 crisis affected the organisation during the year but the deficit was better than originally forecast with management taking action to mitigate the risk by focusing on effective cost management and providing digitally based products and services.
Sport England have continued to support the Charity through investment of £10m over 5 years until March 2027.
Fundraising
The charity does not actively fundraise for any donations or use any professional fundraiser or commercial participator to carry out activities on the charity's behalf. As a result of this the charity is not a participant of a voluntary scheme for regulating fundraising, or any voluntary standard of fundraising for the activities carried out on behalf of the charity. Should the charity at some point in the future undertake a specific fundraising campaign or start to generate more income through fundraising, the trustees will look to sign up to a voluntary fundraising code. The charity has had no complaints in the year.
c. Reserves policy
During the year the Trustees (Directors) reviewed the Group’s requirements and risks to the organisation and supported the amendment to the policy whereby unrestricted funds of the Charity should be held equivalent to 3 months operational expenditure, which is £1.1 million (6 months operational expenditure was £1.8 million in 2021/22).
The Trustees will continue to review the reserves policy in line with the financial performance and working capital requirements of the organisation. The Charity has a good level of liquidity to continue with the current activities and strategic direction.
The unrestricted reserves at the 31 March 2022 were £2,325,543 which is above the range as agreed by the Trustees. The free reserves (defined as unrestricted reserves less intangible and tangible fixed assets) at 31 March 2022 were £1,425,476.
The restricted reserves at the 31 March 2022 were £194,813 (£15,225 in 2021/22) in relation to an unspent grant.
The Trustees (Directors) consider that the National Coaching Foundation's reserves policy has been met.
The Covid-19 crisis has affected the sector but has not affected the ability of the Charity to comply with its reserves policy in the year to 31 March 2022. It is expected that net expenditure in the year to 31 March 2023 will reduce the reserves and specific measures to mitigate the financial risks can be found in section f Risk management.
d. Material investments policy
Cash holdings should be held at a minimum amount equal to 2 months Group Payroll expenditure. This is to ensure adequate funds are available for meeting liabilities should any delay in funding be received and to allow time to make alternative funding arrangements, if necessary.

Trustees' report (including strategic report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
Going concern
The financial performance of the Charity was affected in the year to 31 March 2021 by the COVID-19 crisis but was £300,000 better than the original forecast, including a gain on our investments of £84,568 resulting in our investment valuation held with Schroder Cazenove as at 31 March 2022 of £2.0m and can convert this to cash within 4 to 30 days.
We continued to escalate our digital and on-line offer by providing more online products and services and reached out further to our community using our social media channels to generate new and alternative income and management continued to mitigate risk by reviewing and reducing costs where appropriate.
Sport England have guaranteed the grant funding of £10m through to March 2027 and additional support to provide a co-branded partner web page and support coaches to return to coaching following the Covid pandemic via the retrain to retain initiative. We remain confident of working with all of our partners over the coming years.
Management have assessed the available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue and extrapolated this to 2024/25 as part of their long-term plan.
In making its assessment, management have prepared detailed forecasts which, given the COVID19 pandemic, have been reviewed and updated monthly and the forecasts reflect potential scenarios and management’s plans.
Management have considered the future availability of cash resources and the flexibility of its cost base and based on the above factors, management are confident that the group remains a going concern for the foreseeable future, and the financial statements have thus been prepared on this basis.

b. Directors (Trustees) and their interests (continued)
New directors are appointed to the Board on the basis of expertise and knowledge in relevant areas.
The appointment of directors is subject to the conditions within the current Memorandum and Articles of Association. After a formal and tailored induction, the role and training of directors and review of their performance is considered by the Chair, and by the Nominations Sub Committee and the Governance Sub-Committee.
The Board seeks to ensure that the needs of the organisation and its customers are met by appointing to the Board individuals that have the skills, knowledge, and attributes to help drive the organisation and its work forwards.
New trustees undergo an orientation to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and inform them of the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Committees and decision making processes, the Strategy and Business Plan, and most recent financial performance of the charity. During the period of their induction, they may also meet key employees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role, subject to the approval of the Chair.
The Company has entered into qualifying third party indemnity arrangements for the benefit of the Directors in a form and scope which comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
c. Organisation
Full Board ("Board” refers to the UK Coaching Board members who are made up of the Non-Executive Directors and the Non-Executive Chairman only) meetings are held at least four times per annum. During 2021/22, there were three formal reporting Board meetings.
The Charity continues to comply in full with the Code for Sports Governance.
The Code for Sports Governance sets out the levels of transparency, accountability and financial integrity that will be required from those who ask for Government and National Lottery funding.
The Code has three tiers and will apply to any organisation seeking funding from Sport England or UK Sport, regardless of size and sector, including national governing bodies of sport, clubs, charities and local authorities.
Responsibility for reviewing key areas of activity and policy is delegated to Sub Committees of the Board, informed by the corporate management team and supported by the wider board of trustees and other professionals as required.
The directors delegate the operational running of the charity within formulated and agreed policies, to the senior management team under the leadership of the Chief Executive Officer, Mark Gannon. Delegated responsibilities are ratified through the Board of Directors.
d. Pay policy for senior staff
The Trustees consider that the Board and the senior management team comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day to day basis.
The pay of senior staff is reviewed annually and is normally increased in accordance with average earnings. In view of the UK Coaching position, the directors benchmark against pay levels of other nationally funded partners.
All Trustees give of their time freely, and only the Chair receives a remuneration, in 2021/22 this was £15,000 for services provided in that capacity (2020/21 - £15,000). None of the other Trustees received any remuneration as approved by the Charity Commission or benefit in relation to their work with the charity during 2021/22 or 2020/21.

Our Commitment to Sustainability
Our mission is to make the nation happier and healthier through great coaching and create a greater awareness and effort to improve sustainability.
As the leading organisation for coaches of sport and physical activity, we know that great coaching alone is not enough to create a healthier and happier nation.
That’s why we continuously seek to improve and implement environmental, social and governance principles throughout the organisation and the wider community – with the result being that we help create a more sustainable future for our planet and every person on it.
Our aim is to improve how our workforce operates, provide accurate and engaging information to help build knowledge, and improve how we connect with our audiences.
It's vital that as an organisation, we both embrace and address environmental and societal challenges to not only create a vibrant coaching experience for every participant within physical activity and sport, but also to have a reallife impact on communities across the UK and beyond. That’s why we are committed to:
-
mitigating our environmental footprint and working with our partners to achieve carbon neutrality;
-
providing appropriate training and resources that support a sustainable environment, social and good governance practices; and
-
promoting a work environment that values Equality, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EEDI), policies and ensures that employees feel empowered to uphold them and contribute and participate in all aspects of the organisation, whilst being their authentic self.

Trustees' responsibilities statement for the year ended 31 March 2022
The Trustees (who are also directors of The National Coaching Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the group and charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgments and accounting 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; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable group will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent auditor's report
Opinion on the financial statements
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the Parent Charitable Company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the Group’s incoming resources and application of resources and the Parent Charitable Company’s incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
We have audited the financial statements of National Coaching Foundation (The) t/a UK Coaching (“the Parent Charitable Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities (incorporating the income and expenditure account), the consolidated statement of financial position, the charity statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group’s and of the Parent Charitable Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Conclusions related to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group and the Parent Charitable Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Report and Financial Statements, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The other information comprises: Introduction from the Chair and the Chief Executive Officer and Trustees’ report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard

Independent auditor's report (continued)
Other Companies Act 2006 reporting
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Report, which includes the Directors’ Report and the Strategic report prepared for the purposes of Company Law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Strategic report and the Directors’ Report, which are included in the Trustees’ report, have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the Parent Charitable Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatement in the Strategic report or the Trustee’s report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Charitable Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the Parent Charitable Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Parent Charitable Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the Parent Charitable Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding and accumulated knowledge of the Group and Parent Charitable Company, and the sector in which they operate, we considered the risk of acts by the Group or Parent Charitable Company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud and whether such actions or non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We considered the significant laws and regulations to be United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (including FRS102 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice) and the UK Companies Act 2006. All audit team members were briefed to ensure they were aware of any relevant regulations in relation to their work, areas of potential non-compliance and fraud risks.

National Coaching Foundation (The) t/a UK Coaching (A company limited by guarantee)
Independent auditor's report (continued)
We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of an override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries, management bias in accounting estimates and improper incoming resources recognition.
Our audit procedures in response to the above included, but were not limited to:
-
Agreement of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation.
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to the impairment of the carrying value of stock, the dilapidation provision, the bad debt provision, and the useful economic life of relevant assets.
-
Procedures to test income including agreement of incoming resources recognised to supporting documentation on a sample basis and testing incoming resources recorded around the year end to check the appropriate year end cut-off.
-
Identifying and testing journal entries identified as potentially unusual. This testing included, but was not limited to, any journal entries posted with specific keywords, journals posted by unexpected users, and journals posted to least used accounts.
-
Discussions with management, and those charged with governance, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud.
-
Discussions with management, and those charged with governance to understand if there have been any Serious Incident Reports made to the Charity Commission either during the period or post year end.
-
A review of trustees’ meeting minutes both during the period, and post year end, for any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation, Serious Incident Reports made to the Charity Commission or fraud.
-
Enquires to confirm with management that there was no legal correspondence during the period, or post year end, requiring review.
-
Obtaining an understanding of the control environment in monitoring compliance with laws and regulations.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Financial Reporting Council’s (“FRC’s”) website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Charitable Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charitable Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charitable Company and the Charitable Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

General information
The National Coaching Foundation is a charitable company limited by guarantee and a registered charity (No. 327354) incorporated and registered in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. The registered office is given on the reference and administrative details of the charity page. Every member undertakes to contribute to the assets of The National Coaching Foundation, in the event of winding up whilst a member, or within a year of ceasing to be a member, for payment of the debts and liabilities of the Charity contracted before ceasing to be a member, such amount as may be required but not exceeding £1.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
The National Coaching Foundation (T/A UK Coaching) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the company's accounting policies (see note 1).
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the accounts of The National Coaching Foundation (T/A UK Coaching) and all of its subsidiary undertakings ('subsidiaries').
No separate Statement of financial activities has been presented for the charity alone as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
Exemptions for qualifying entities under FRS 102
The Parent charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions:
-
from preparing a statement of cash flows on the basis that it is a qualifying entity and the group cash flow statement included within these financial statements, includes the charitable company’s cash flows; and
-
- from the financial instruments disclosures, required under FRS 102 para 11.40 to 11.48A and para 12.26 to 12.29, as the information is provided in the Group financial disclosures.

Going concern
The financial performance of the Charity was affected in the year to 31 March 2022 by the COVID-19 crisis but was better than the original forecast, including a gain on our investments of £84,568 resulting in our investment valuation held with Schroder Cazenove as at 31 March 2022 of £2.0m which can be converted into cash within 4 to 30 days.
We continued to build upon our digital and on-line offer by providing more online products and services and to reach out further to our community using our social media channels to generate new and alternative income. Management continued to mitigate risk by reviewing and reducing costs where appropriate.
Sport England have guaranteed the grant funding of £10m over the next five years through to March 2027 and further support to promote a child centric initiative and we remain confident of working with all of our partners over the coming years.
Management have assessed the available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue and extrapolated this to 2025/26 as part of their long-term plan.
In making its assessment, management have prepared detailed forecasts which have been reviewed and updated regularly and these reflect potential scenarios and management’s plans.
Management have considered the future availability of cash resources and the flexibility of its cost base and based on the above factors, management are confident that the group remains a going concern for the foreseeable future, and the financial statements have thus been prepared on this basis.
Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income from public and private sources is accounted for in accordance with the terms of the funding agreement.
Sponsorship relating to specific projects is recognised in the accounts for the period in which the group becomes entitled to the income.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities and governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Intangible fixed assets and amortisation
Intangible assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost net of amortisation and any provision for impairment. Amortisation is provided for over 10 years.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are included at cost. All tangible assets exceeding a cost of £3,000 are capitalised.
A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities.
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - over 3 to 10 years Computer equipment - over 3 to 5 years

Fixed asset investments
(i) Listed securities
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading ’gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.
(i) Subsidiary undertakings
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Raw materials, consumables and goods for resale - purchase cost on a first in, first out basis.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
Financial instruments
The Charity enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Financial assets and liabilities, other than investments and bank loans, are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs) and subsequently held at cost, less any impairment. Investments are measured at fair value with movements through the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities. Bank loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Taxation
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
The Charity is registered for VAT, and VAT which is not recoverable as a result of the exempt income of the group is charged against the category of resource expended for which it was incurred.
Research and development
Research and development expenditure is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
Pensions
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.
Operating leases
Operating leases are leases that do not transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership. Payments made by the Group under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease, including payments which are not required to be made on a straight line basis. Lease incentives given or received are similarly spread on a straight line basis over the relevant lease term.
Finance leases
Where assets are financed by leasing agreements that give rights approximating to ownership (finance leases), the assets are treated as if they had been purchased outright. The amount capitalised is the present value of the minimum lease payments payable over the term of the lease. The corresponding leasing commitments are shown as amounts payable to the lessor. Depreciation on the relevant assets is charged to profit or loss over the shorter of estimated useful economic life and the term of the lease.
Finance lease payments are analysed between capital and interest components so that the interest element of the payment is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities over the term of the lease and is calculated so that it represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding. The capital part reduces the amounts payable to the lessor.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
-
Stock valuation
-
The Group estimates the impairment of the carrying value of stock by value of the obsolete and slowmoving stock, using their judgement of future sales values generated by those stock items.
-
Dilapidation provision
-
The dilapidation provision is based on a FRICS valuation of the cost to restore the leasehold assets to its original state at inception of the lease.
-
Bad debt provision
-
A bad debt provision is included based on management's experience of customer repayment history and industry norms.
-
Depreciation Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is included based upon the identified useful economic life of relevant assets.

Restricted funds from Sport England and from UK Sport represent grand aid – both of which are allocated against the charitable activity of the National Coaching Foundation (UK Coaching) in relation to work driving the development of coaching in the UK, championing and driving policy and investment in coaching, supporting and challenging partners to improve their coaching systems, developing coach education, and providing research and best practice to benefit coaching.
We launched a bespoke co-branded dashboard on our website for our partners that supports the ongoing learning and development of coaches affiliated with National Governing Bodies.
We continued to work in partnership with Sport England and CIMSPA and provided support in the form of free learning to 21,000 under-represented volunteer coaches as part of our combined ‘ReTrain to ReTain’ programme to help coaches post covid return to coaching.
With Sport England support we established the Children's Coaching Collaborative (CCC) which is a collective of like-minded organisations with a common purpose and desire to effect change for the better together. Recognising the role coaches play in enabling children's enjoyment of physical activity, the CCC wants to create a nation of “child-first” coaches.
In May 2021, with assistance from our partners, we launched our award-winning life-saving sudden cardiac arrest digital toolkit and e-learning course.
Our duty to care toolkit and digital badge equips coaches with the knowledge and skills to provide an excellent coaching experience and supports coaches to better look after themselves across the five pillars of Safeguarding, Inclusion, Diversity, Wellbeing and Mental Health.
We delivered a range of development programmes supporting coaches across the talent and performance pathway.
Our strategic partnership with MIND continues to deliver excellent learning for coaches.
