TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
- 1 -

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)".

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects are to foster and promote community participation in healthy recreation, for the benefit of the inhabitants of Bracknell and the surrounding districts. The policies adopted in furtherance of these objects are the provision of facilities and coaching for gymnasts and there has been no change in these during the year.

Strategies for achieving aims and objectives

During the period the charity achieved its objectives by running regular coaching sessions for gymnasts in multiple

disciplines, including Team Gym, General Gymnastics, Freestyle Gymnastics and DMT (Double Mini Trampoline).

This year the Trustees have undertaken a project to increase daytime activity and have appointed someone on a 1 year contract to focus on this work.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. It is also noted that the charity offers classes that are financially accessible, being significantly cheaper than any other local provider and possibly the wider area.

Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives

- In October of 2025, 15 gymnasts from Bracknell represented GBR at the 15th European TeamGym Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan, along with 1 coach as senior member of the senior coaching team.

- In July of 2025 Bracknell GC retained the British titles for Senior Mixed and Junior Women and in so doing were nominated to present GBR at the 2nd Mid European TeamGym Championships in Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy in November 2025.

Several coaches also passed various coaching qualifications and add on modules across levels 1 to 3.

Financial review
Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

At the balance sheet date the charity held £379,046 (2024: £311,753) of unrestricted reserves and £1,047 (2024: £1,395) of restricted reserves. We have been building our reserves in anticipation of the release of the new leisure strategy for Bracknell Forest Borough Council. This has recently been released and concerns what will happen in 7-10 years time when the centre is to be redeveloped.

Major risks

The trustees h ave assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

The charity adopts the British Gymnastics child protection policy and codes of conduct for coaches and volunteers, communications policy, travel policy and risk assessment control procedures.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee, it was incorporated as a company on 19 May 2009 and registered as a charity on 19 June 2009.

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Mr P Tranckle
Mrs L A Barker
Mr D Crann
Mr A Smith
Recruitment and appointment of trustees

Trustees are identified through contacts of the existing trustees, they will have the necessary skills identified as

required for the trustee vacancy. Potential trustees are then invited to a meeting on a trial basis before a

recommendation is made. The trustee is then voted in by the members.

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. One of Trustees has expressed a wish to stand down due to increased work and family commitments. The Board have decided to recruit two new board members, taking the total number to 5. This was to increase expertise for when the it becomes necessary to engage the council regarding the execution of the leisure strategy.

Organisational structure

The charity is managed by the four trustees (at least half of whom have gymnastics coaching qualifications). A team of self-employed coaches run the coaching sessions. The trustees organise events, training camps and entry to competitions. The number of trustees will increase to 5 in the next financial year.

The charity is affiliated with British Gymnastics. All members are affiliates of British Gymnastics and all coaches must have Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks. In addition the charity must have a trained welfare officer. The charity has also met the requirements of 'GYMark', the British Gymnastics Club mark standard.

Induction and training of trustees

Trustees are included and trained on appointment, existing trustees go through specific expectations and responsibilities. They are also provided with a copy of the Charity Commission booklet on trustee responsibilities.

The trustees' r eport was approved by the Board of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF BRACKNELL GYMNASTICS CLUB
- 3 -

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Bracknell Gymnastics Club (the charity) for the year ended 31 August 2025.

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.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 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. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. 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 Companies Act 2006.

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 Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements 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.

Accounting policies
Charity information

Bracknell Gymnastics Club is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 4 Alexander Close, Finchampstead, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG40 3GB.

1.1
Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3
Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4
Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1.5
Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 7 -
1.6
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold improvements
Over term of lease
Plant and equipment
25% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

There is a deminimus for capitalisation of £300.

1.7
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8
Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at recoverable amount.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently carried at amount payable.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amo unt payable.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9
Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

2
Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
