  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

    Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows: Other tangible assets 20% straight line

    Other accounting policies

    Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. Statement of compliance These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime). Basis of preparation These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value. Tax The tax expense for the period comprises deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. Tangible assets Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Trade creditors Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Company activities and impact

Diversity Tennis is dedicated to providing tennis to absolutely anyone. Our sessions in Ely help improve mental and physical wellbeing, reduce isolation, and increase access to sport. During the financial year 2024-2025, our activities included: - Walking Tennis continued, and expanded with evening sessions, our tennis at a gentler pace to a diverse group of participants, such as older adults, wheelchair users, and people with short- and long-term health conditions. Many have previously been unable to access appropriate exercise. Benefits of increased exercise are clear and can include increased mobility, improved balance, and a reduced risk of falls for older adults. Each session is followed by a tea-and-cake social which has provided a vital space for connection, reducing isolation, and building support networks. - SEND and After-School Tennis are adapted to support children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities in developing confidence, coordination, and enjoyment of physical activity. - Diversity Day, a free community event welcoming people of all ages and abilities to try tennis in a safe, inclusive environment. - Community outreach – we’ve worked with veterans’ groups, social prescribers, and attended events like Ely Pride to connect with people who might not otherwise feel that tennis is for them. - Promotion and awareness – featured on local BBC and ITV, and nominated for Cambridgeshire LTA Tennis for All Award (2024) and BBC Make a Difference Award, helping to raise awareness of inclusive tennis and encouraging new participants to get involved All activities were delivered free or at low cost to participants and adapted to individual physical, mental, or social needs. The sessions enabled participants to stay active, feel included, and build lasting connections within their community.

Consultation with stakeholders

We continue to stay in close contact with the people and groups we work with, and we listen to their views throughout the year. - Participants often share thoughts during sessions and over tea and cake after Walking Tennis sessions. This social gathering provides a key opportunity for conversation, allowing us to gather valuable feedback in a relaxed, informal setting. This approach has led to the development of new programs, such as our evening sessions, which extended the hours we were able to provide. - Parents and carers of children attending SEND sessions have shared comments about their children’s confidence, enjoyment, and development. - Teachers and school staff have provided feedback that directly informs our approach to working with children with SEND. We used this to adapt our sessions to focus on confidence-building and social skills, in addition to physical development. - We stay connected with organisations including social prescribers, and veterans’ groups, who help raise awareness of our sessions and share perspectives on local needs. - Our repeated nominations for awards recognised our approach and helped reinforce the value of our work to others.
