## **PUBLIC BENEFIT**
The Trustees have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. Details of how the charity has carried out its activities for the public benefit are given in the section below.
## **ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS**
Hillsborough Park Partnership, which was established in 1999 as a group of organisations using or working in the park, with a shared interest in maintaining and developing the park. The Partnership meetings have now all been encompassed into the Friends of Hillsborough Park Meetings held on a regular basis.
The objectives of the Friends of Hillsborough Park:
- To strive to improve the park aiding maintenance for the good of local communities and the wider city developing new ideas and activities work centred mainly around the walled garden
- To involve local people in the management of the park, to have a direct link with Council officers responsible for the management of the park. Richard Dewsbury, Area manager, attends regular FOHP meetings and workdays.
Sheffield Wednesday Football Club continues to pay for the use of one of the car parks on a maximum of 28 home match days.
Pay and display ticket machines have been installed in Parkside and Hawksley Avenue car parks. Charges are in operation from 9.30-6.30 7 days per week.
The Friends of Hillsborough Park Group work actively with the Council to improve the park. They carry out practical work within the Park and the walled garden area along with a number of individual volunteers and gardening groups. They have group insurance which means they can work on agreed tasks without supervision. The group has grown substantially over recent years with many members working a few mornings per week. They usually hold work mornings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but this is not exclusive. They have been awarded the Green Flag Community award and are previous winners of an award from Yorkshire in Bloom.
The walled garden buildings on site have been converted into a café and Makers Shed by Age UK. Age UK have an agreed lease with the council for the use of these buildings including the pavilion. Age UK provide a variety of activities for the local community which take place in either the Makers Shed or the pavilion.
The existing path network around the main event field has been upgraded and improved in partnership with Tramlines, including upgrading the draining of the path and selected sections of the event field.
Disabled cycling groups regularly use the park with a number of specially adapted bikes available on site with the activity run by local cycling group Cycle4all. Cycle4all have been relocated in a better location which provides easier access to the MUGA facility and new path network.
The installation of a new all wheel track for use by all the community with British Cycling.

The Tramlines fee is negotiated on a commercial basis and in consideration of other similar events. The council cannot disclose the current fee paid by Tramlines to the Hillsborough Park Charity because this is deemed commercially sensitive information, as confirmed by the Information Commissioners Office at 31[st] January 2023. Tramlines regard their fee as commercially sensitive because the summer festival market is very competitive, and the pricing of their tickets incorporates their costs and expertise.

## **HILLSBOROUGH PARK TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW AND FUNDING**
**Restricted Funds** - Net income of £463,717 (21/22: Net income £19,451) comprising grants of £503,264 (21/22: £84,807), and £10,000 of other contributions. Depreciation was charged of £49,547 (21/22: £50,356).
Capital expenditure of £739,264 was spent in 2022/2023. The majority on various developments, path and roadway works (£434,456); another (£268,042) to build the Wheels Park (£61,785) and the remainder on capital costs at Hillsborough Library.
**Unrestricted funds** - Net expenditure of £149 (21/22: Net expenditure £6). The income from charitable activities was £195,610 (21/22: £142,981), with expenditure of £423,965 (21/22: £317,444). The deficit was funded by the grant from Sheffield City Council of £228,354 (21/22: £174,933). In addition there was investment income of £149 (21/22: £6).
At 31 March 2023 the charity had total funds of £2,435,901 (21/22: £1,972,619). These funds are all tied up in fixed assets and investments. There was investment income of £149 (21/22: £6) and this has been transferred to the Designated Fund which now totals £284 and is available to spend in accordance with the Charity’s Trusts & Objectives.
## **RESERVES POLICY**
As the charity is managed and funded by the Council, no specific unrestricted charity reserves are deemed to be necessary.
Annual revenue expenditure is generally greater than income and the variance is born by the Council and not carried forward into the next financial year.
This charity has specific monies invested in the Council’s internal investment fund. Interest is received half yearly on the monies invested. These investments form the restricted funds and any interest is used in line with the restrictions on the funds.
5
## **HILLSBOROUGH PARK TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **GRANT MAKING POLICY**
Grants are made in accordance with the provisions contained in the charitable deeds. Where the charitable deed is specific, charitable funds are applied automatically against the purpose stated. Where there is more discretion, judgement is made by officers, and where applicable, members. If necessary, permission from the Charity Commission may be sought to the use of charitable funds on occasion.
## **RISK MANAGEMENT**
The charity is dependent for its day-to-day management upon Sheffield City Council. It is therefore considered expedient and cost effective for the charity to adopt the Council’s risk management policy and strategy, which it considers is a crucial part of the service planning process in highlighting key risks and how they affect the Council’s ability to deliver its service and how they will be managed. The Council has incorporated a formal approach to risk management in its day-to-day operations and has developed a toolkit to allow managers to identify risk, which would prevent them from achieving their objectives and to provide information and guidance on how these risks can be managed. The Council operates an Internal Insurance Account covering a variety of risks.

## **HILLSBOROUGH PARK TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **Trustees' responsibilities statement**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF Hillsborough Park**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

**HILLSBOROUGH PARK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **1. Accounting Polices**
Hillsborough Park is a registered charity in England. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are for the provision and maintenance of a public park and recreation ground.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective on 1 January 2019 (Updated second edition – October 19), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting 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) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## **1.1 Fixed assets**
Hillsborough Park is classified as a Community Asset. The trustees policy is to value Community Assets at £Nil.
All other Land and Buildings including Hillsborough Park Library (a Grade II Listed Building) are carried in the accounts at deemed cost as at date of transition to SORP (FRS 102).
Other Plant and Equipment are carried at cost.
Expenditure on fixed assets is capitalised, provided that the fixed asset yields benefit to the charity and the services it provides are for a period of more than one year.
Assets have been reviewed for any impairment loss in respect of consumption of economic benefit.
As the revalued assets were originally gifted to the charity, with subsequent additions at cost, it is not possible to obtain the overall historical cost figures.
13
**HILLSBOROUGH PARK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **1.2 Depreciation**
Depreciation is provided on fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of the assets over their expected useful lives as follows:
- Land and previously revalued buildings are not depreciated.
- Park buildings have been depreciated on a straight line basis over 40 years, commencing on the transfer from assets under construction.
- Hillsborough Park Library (a Grade II Listed Building) is not depreciated. The building is not depreciated because it is maintained in good condition so that the value is not impaired by the passage of time and in consequence any element of depreciation would be immaterial. The Trustees perform annual impairment reviews in accordance with the requirements of FRS 102 to ensure that the carrying value is not greater than the recoverable amount.
- Plant, furniture and equipment have been depreciated on a straight line basis over 10 years.
- Depreciation is not provided on land or assets under construction.
## **1.3 Investments**
Fund balances are invested internally with Sheffield City Council. Investments are held at market value.
## **1.4 Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds 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 the donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for specific purposes.
Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally investments. Income arising on the endowment fund can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments form part of the fund.
14
**HILLSBOROUGH PARK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **1.5 Income**
Income from donations and grants, including capital grants, is included in income when it is probable that the income will be received, and is allocated to the appropriate fund.
Investment income is included when receivable.
Rental, events, room hire and similar income is included when the event or function has taken place.
The cost of running the park is funded by Sheffield City Council. Annual revenue expenditure is generally greater than income and any variance is borne by the Council by way of a grant to the charity.
## **1.6 Expenditure**
Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, net of any VAT, which can be recovered as Sheffield City Council is the sole trustee and therefore has special status under s33 VAT Act 1994.
The main exception to this treatment is payments for such items as gas and electricity are charged at the date of the meter reading rather than being apportioned between years. This policy is applied consistently each year.
Expenditure has been allocated to the activities to which it is directly attributable.
## **Charitable activities**
Charitable activities are set out within the charitable deeds and represent the costs associated with the running and maintenance of the parks and library.
## **Grants payable**
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
## **Governance costs**
Independent examination costs and finance officer costs are charged to the charity. The Council currently absorbs the cost of other officers’ time. This policy is kept under review.
## **Staff costs**
The staff who work for the charity are employed by Sheffield City Council, and are subject to the terms and conditions of that organisation. The costs of such staff are recharged to the charity. Full disclosure of the relevant staff costs and numbers is provided in the notes to these financial statements.

**HILLSBOROUGH PARK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **Pensions**
City Council employees may participate in the Local Government Superannuation Scheme, which provides members with defined benefits related to pay and service. The City Council makes payments for this group of employees to the South Yorkshire Pensions Authority, which administers pension arrangements on behalf of Sheffield City Council and the other local authorities in the South Yorkshire area. The City Council bears any deficit or surplus on the scheme and does not charge this to the charity.
## **1.7 Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year**
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
## **1.8 Financial instruments**
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
## **1.9 Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
