OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

North Notts Community Leisure Limited (NNCLL) provides leisure and community facilities, at the North Notts Community Arena, for the health and well being of the local community.

This report gives details of North Notts Community Leisure Limited's (NNCLL) work over the past year: if you would like to discuss the work of NNCLL or obtain further information please contact the General Manager.

NNCLL have been established and operating since January 2006 and manages the day-to-day activities within the Arena. This well used local community hub provides leisure and sporting opportunities plus support for the local community.

This support is aimed specifically around health and well-being of the local community. NNCLL works with all ages, cradle to grave and all abilities, including specific structured activity sessions for the disabled, hard to reach and disadvantaged groups and individuals.

NNCLL, over the past 19 years have developed the Arena as an events venue, utilising the spare capacity in the Main Hall, mainly during weekends, to host many events including wedding receptions, awards nights, celebratory parties, craft fairs and concerts, bingo loco, karate competitions, mind, body & soul events, tattoo conventions and tribute nights amongst others.

In any leisure business staff leaving and us introducing new employees, the board and management team carried out new operating procedures which ensured our staff had a look at each other's roles and were able to be multi-functional when called upon and well needed amongst a small workforce.

As always, the response of the paid staff and volunteers has been outstanding.

NNCLL work tirelessly with many local partners and would like to thank all partners for their continued support including:

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The Governing Document of North Notts Community Leisure Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The company was established in July 2005 under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up no member will be asked to contribute more than £10.00.

The company operates as a non profit distributing organisation. There is a written constitution. In addition to the constitution, North Notts Community Leisure Limited has developed and implemented a range of operational policies and procedures which determine and reflect good management, operational and employment practice.

The company was established to take over the day-to-day management of the former council run Bassetlaw Leisure Centre which was about to be closed.

Trustees

NNCLL is a company limited by guarantee, a not for profit organisation with charitable status. The Board of Directors are all users of the Arena and represent different activities and groups from within the Arena, including indoor bowls, snooker, young children and schools, older people and football. They are a constant source of information and guidance for the Management team.

As Directors they bring individual skills, expertise and knowledge to the business including, leisure management, business management, administration and personnel, health and safety, employment law, marketing and senior team management, plus vast experience of events and sporting activity.

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association all directors must retire at the first annual general meeting and can offer themselves for re-election. At all subsequent general meetings one third of the board of directors must retire by rotation and can offer themselves for re-election. New directors may be appointed by the board. Any director appointed in this way must retire at the next annual general meeting and can offer themselves for re-election.

Any new trustees would be invited to attend training sessions in order to formalise themselves with the organisation and any particular areas of expertise they were being asked to deal with.

The trustees regularly review the specific requirements and expertise of the board in order to assess and identify areas where training may be required.

Organisational structure

The board of voluntary directors (the trustees) meets bi-monthly and oversees the general operations of the organisation. The general manager, assisted by his management team, has day to day responsibility of arena operations and activities.

D Layden - Trustee

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of North Notts Community Leisure Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a 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:

1.	accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2.	the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3.	the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

4.

the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Direct and administration costs have been allocated in accordance with income received from the Arena and Bar areas. The approximate allocation is therefore 60% Arena and 40% Bar.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Computer equipment

-

33% on reducing balance

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
