Trustees. Report For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore govemed by a Memorandum and Articles of
Association.
The charity's objert and the principal activity continue to be that of the development of sport and leisure time activities in
Haringey, especially for the young and people living in deprived areas.
The charity is organised so that the trustees meevcommunicate on a regular basis to manage its affairs. There is a full
time Co-ordinator who manages the day to day administration and management of the charity and a Finance Officer. The
majority of the remaining staff is employed at the Frederick Knight Sports Ground to maintair), secure, run and develop the
site. We also employ a limited number of staff for our 5POrts and coaching activities that are organised for young people at
the ground and other facilities within Haringey especially within the area of Tottenham. There is also a small team of
workers that we employ to manage car parking at the ground when Tottenham Hotspur football Club are playing at home
and when they hold additional major events at their ground.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
The ground is based in one of the most deprived wards in the country with low wage earners, social unrest and the
econornically deprived. During the past three years a new housing estate was being built lapprox. 800 units) just outside
the northern end of the ground and by by spring 2025 it was near completion. This will have an impact on the ground with
its need becoming even more important. There are no similar facilities in the area so the ground will serve the additional
population. The area has now become heavily populated with expected high demand to use the ground. During the past
year we have introduced a programme to hopefully accommodate this with an emphasis on sports provision for young
people.
Equal opportunity to participate in sport for young people is ultimately of great importance for the local area. This can have
a major influence on the life style of young people. We were able to continue our policy of providing facilities and activities
at an affordable rate. This is achieved by keeping our charges to participate in our activities at a low and affordable level
but at same time provide high quality facilities We also continue to offer school children free use of the ball courts
programme I Ipm to 4pm weekdays} s. This has been a major success Wlth record number of children in attendance. Our
main concern for the future will be how we will are able to manage such a large number of children/youth. The majority of
young people that attend are aged between 12 years and 17 years of age. We also continued to run our forever successful
Roller Skating sessions at Tottenham Community Sports Centre. We also organised on a daily basis football coaching
programmes and manage use of the eight ball courts at the sports ground for school children use during weekday5 UP to
6pm and at weekends.
The introduction of making the ground a children only zone continued throughout the year with the scheme being further
developed. All the facilities at the ground were only available for young people at weekends (daytime) and after school up
to 6pn, Monday to Friday. This included exclusive use of the grass football pitches over the year. The Sports Zone was
further enhanced with the rapid increase of local Primary schools using the ground for their sports days. We were delighted
to stage the sports days at the ground because it introduced the ground and its facilities to thousands of local school
children. The schools have welcomed the opportunity to use the ground and have commented the importance of having a
quality grass area which is clear of rubbish, dogs mess and most of all safe.
The grass pitches at the Frederick Knight sorts Ground are regarded as some of the best in North London. To achieve this
level of quality is only possible by Community Action Sport subsidising the maintenance costs of the grass area and use of
the Pavilion. This subsidy is essential to provide the very best of facilities for the local community which is essential if we
are to contribute to offsetting the deprivation of the area. We continued to provide this subsidy throughout the year. The
cost of maintaining the grass area at the ground has continued to increase and the viability of running these is becoming a
challenge This does reflect why most sports grounds and sports pitches in London have deteriorated because of
organisations and councils not being able to provide suffficient funds to maintain such facilities.
We continue to believe it Is a price worth paying if we are able to continue to cope despite the ever increasing costs. It
may be inevitable that in years to come that natural gras5 Pltches will have to be replaced by artificial grass pitches and we
must be prepared for such a decision. This may be the only viable financial option.to provide such facilities if we are to
keep up with the demand of the ever growing local population. especially with the rapid growth of new housing near the
ground. This would involve a costly outlay of finance by Community Action Sport. Our policy at present is to provide the
very best natural grass pitches at the Frederick Knight Sports Ground. The consequence of protecting the use of the grass
pitches by only young people does come at a cost due to the decrease in our pitch hire fees which are at least 5090 lower
than for Adult use.
We have continued our car parking programme on Tottenham Hotspur home match and event days. This has become an
important income source to subsidise our activities. With the ever increasing demand for the use of our car parking facilities
we have to restructure our management to cope with the demand including an increase of car parking staff.

Community Action Sport
Trustees. Report (continued)
For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
Main Achievements - continued
Community Action Sport staff have continued to work effficiently with most of the work being at the Frederick Knight Sports
Ground. This work covered all aspects including maintenance of the facilities, management of the ball courts pavilion and
providing a programme of artivities for young people.
The probation service continued to provide a team of workers every Tuesday from 9am until 4pm. The team play a very
important role in maintaining the ground and contribute the time and energy of up to ten workers.
The normal activities revolved around maintenance. security and development of the Frederick Knight Sports Ground and
its children sport activities at Tottenham Community Sports Centre. Community Artion Sport continued to keep all its stsff
employed
Community Action Sport continued to run on a financial viable basis. We continued to develop its facilities and activities and
are now back to our pre covid19 level. The importance of the Frederick Knight Sport Ground for the local community is
evident with the high number of people that now use the 51te and this has continued throughout the year. The number of
youth (aged 12 - 17) using the ground is ever increasing and the challenge will be how to accommodate this expansion
in the future
The setting up of the Frederick Knight sports Ground as a zone for young people is a significant
development for the area which has no outdoor sports facilities.
However. Community Action Sport will need the finance
and resources to develop this further.
The Frederick Knight Sports Ground covers nearly I l acres. The site includes a large pavilion, a grass area accommodating
3 football pitches and 4 outdoor five aside courts and 4 seven a side courts. There is also an artificial cricket wicket.
Financial Review
Financial Position
The Statement of Financial Activities shows Income of £ 257.686 in the year and our resources Stand at £684,343 in total.
Expenditure for the year £ 239,658 was spent on rnaintaining the Frederick Knight Sports Ground and the Charity.
The Year 2024-25 has been one of continuing recovery from the consequences of Covid19, the easing of the lockdowns and
the restrictions imposed by the Government. The financial sUPPOrt given to organisations by the Government and local
Authorities has assisted the Charity to survive. This suptK)rt has enabled Community Action Sport to retain its employee
structure and facilities.
The rate of inflation has decreased but the big increase in energy charges and maintenance have added significant financial
costs that are still working their way through the system. The overall costs of running Community Action have increased
and the new legislation enacted by the government will affect the activities undertaken.

Trustees. Report For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore govemed by a Memorandum and Articles of
Association.
The charity's objert and the principal activity continue to be that of the development of sport and leisure time activities in
Haringey, especially for the young and people living in deprived areas.
The charity is organised so that the trustees meevcommunicate on a regular basis to manage its affairs. There is a full
time Co-ordinator who manages the day to day administration and management of the charity and a Finance Officer. The
majority of the remaining staff is employed at the Frederick Knight Sports Ground to maintair), secure, run and develop the
site. We also employ a limited number of staff for our 5POrts and coaching activities that are organised for young people at
the ground and other facilities within Haringey especially within the area of Tottenham. There is also a small team of
workers that we employ to manage car parking at the ground when Tottenham Hotspur football Club are playing at home
and when they hold additional major events at their ground.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
The ground is based in one of the most deprived wards in the country with low wage earners, social unrest and the
econornically deprived. During the past three years a new housing estate was being built lapprox. 800 units) just outside
the northern end of the ground and by by spring 2025 it was near completion. This will have an impact on the ground with
its need becoming even more important. There are no similar facilities in the area so the ground will serve the additional
population. The area has now become heavily populated with expected high demand to use the ground. During the past
year we have introduced a programme to hopefully accommodate this with an emphasis on sports provision for young
people.
Equal opportunity to participate in sport for young people is ultimately of great importance for the local area. This can have
a major influence on the life style of young people. We were able to continue our policy of providing facilities and activities
at an affordable rate. This is achieved by keeping our charges to participate in our activities at a low and affordable level
but at same time provide high quality facilities We also continue to offer school children free use of the ball courts
programme I Ipm to 4pm weekdays} s. This has been a major success Wlth record number of children in attendance. Our
main concern for the future will be how we will are able to manage such a large number of children/youth. The majority of
young people that attend are aged between 12 years and 17 years of age. We also continued to run our forever successful
Roller Skating sessions at Tottenham Community Sports Centre. We also organised on a daily basis football coaching
programmes and manage use of the eight ball courts at the sports ground for school children use during weekday5 UP to
6pm and at weekends.
The introduction of making the ground a children only zone continued throughout the year with the scheme being further
developed. All the facilities at the ground were only available for young people at weekends (daytime) and after school up
to 6pn, Monday to Friday. This included exclusive use of the grass football pitches over the year. The Sports Zone was
further enhanced with the rapid increase of local Primary schools using the ground for their sports days. We were delighted
to stage the sports days at the ground because it introduced the ground and its facilities to thousands of local school
children. The schools have welcomed the opportunity to use the ground and have commented the importance of having a
quality grass area which is clear of rubbish, dogs mess and most of all safe.
The grass pitches at the Frederick Knight sorts Ground are regarded as some of the best in North London. To achieve this
level of quality is only possible by Community Action Sport subsidising the maintenance costs of the grass area and use of
the Pavilion. This subsidy is essential to provide the very best of facilities for the local community which is essential if we
are to contribute to offsetting the deprivation of the area. We continued to provide this subsidy throughout the year. The
cost of maintaining the grass area at the ground has continued to increase and the viability of running these is becoming a
challenge This does reflect why most sports grounds and sports pitches in London have deteriorated because of
organisations and councils not being able to provide suffficient funds to maintain such facilities.
We continue to believe it Is a price worth paying if we are able to continue to cope despite the ever increasing costs. It
may be inevitable that in years to come that natural gras5 Pltches will have to be replaced by artificial grass pitches and we
must be prepared for such a decision. This may be the only viable financial option.to provide such facilities if we are to
keep up with the demand of the ever growing local population. especially with the rapid growth of new housing near the
ground. This would involve a costly outlay of finance by Community Action Sport. Our policy at present is to provide the
very best natural grass pitches at the Frederick Knight Sports Ground. The consequence of protecting the use of the grass
pitches by only young people does come at a cost due to the decrease in our pitch hire fees which are at least 5090 lower
than for Adult use.
We have continued our car parking programme on Tottenham Hotspur home match and event days. This has become an
important income source to subsidise our activities. With the ever increasing demand for the use of our car parking facilities
we have to restructure our management to cope with the demand including an increase of car parking staff.

Community Action Sport
Trustees. Report (continued)
For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
Main Achievements - continued
Community Action Sport staff have continued to work effficiently with most of the work being at the Frederick Knight Sports
Ground. This work covered all aspects including maintenance of the facilities, management of the ball courts pavilion and
providing a programme of artivities for young people.
The probation service continued to provide a team of workers every Tuesday from 9am until 4pm. The team play a very
important role in maintaining the ground and contribute the time and energy of up to ten workers.
The normal activities revolved around maintenance. security and development of the Frederick Knight Sports Ground and
its children sport activities at Tottenham Community Sports Centre. Community Artion Sport continued to keep all its stsff
employed
Community Action Sport continued to run on a financial viable basis. We continued to develop its facilities and activities and
are now back to our pre covid19 level. The importance of the Frederick Knight Sport Ground for the local community is
evident with the high number of people that now use the 51te and this has continued throughout the year. The number of
youth (aged 12 - 17) using the ground is ever increasing and the challenge will be how to accommodate this expansion
in the future
The setting up of the Frederick Knight sports Ground as a zone for young people is a significant
development for the area which has no outdoor sports facilities.
However. Community Action Sport will need the finance
and resources to develop this further.
The Frederick Knight Sports Ground covers nearly I l acres. The site includes a large pavilion, a grass area accommodating
3 football pitches and 4 outdoor five aside courts and 4 seven a side courts. There is also an artificial cricket wicket.
Financial Review
Financial Position
The Statement of Financial Activities shows Income of £ 257.686 in the year and our resources Stand at £684,343 in total.
Expenditure for the year £ 239,658 was spent on rnaintaining the Frederick Knight Sports Ground and the Charity.
The Year 2024-25 has been one of continuing recovery from the consequences of Covid19, the easing of the lockdowns and
the restrictions imposed by the Government. The financial sUPPOrt given to organisations by the Government and local
Authorities has assisted the Charity to survive. This suptK)rt has enabled Community Action Sport to retain its employee
structure and facilities.
The rate of inflation has decreased but the big increase in energy charges and maintenance have added significant financial
costs that are still working their way through the system. The overall costs of running Community Action have increased
and the new legislation enacted by the government will affect the activities undertaken.

Trustees. Report For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore govemed by a Memorandum and Articles of
Association.
The charity's objert and the principal activity continue to be that of the development of sport and leisure time activities in
Haringey, especially for the young and people living in deprived areas.
The charity is organised so that the trustees meevcommunicate on a regular basis to manage its affairs. There is a full
time Co-ordinator who manages the day to day administration and management of the charity and a Finance Officer. The
majority of the remaining staff is employed at the Frederick Knight Sports Ground to maintair), secure, run and develop the
site. We also employ a limited number of staff for our 5POrts and coaching activities that are organised for young people at
the ground and other facilities within Haringey especially within the area of Tottenham. There is also a small team of
workers that we employ to manage car parking at the ground when Tottenham Hotspur football Club are playing at home
and when they hold additional major events at their ground.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
The ground is based in one of the most deprived wards in the country with low wage earners, social unrest and the
econornically deprived. During the past three years a new housing estate was being built lapprox. 800 units) just outside
the northern end of the ground and by by spring 2025 it was near completion. This will have an impact on the ground with
its need becoming even more important. There are no similar facilities in the area so the ground will serve the additional
population. The area has now become heavily populated with expected high demand to use the ground. During the past
year we have introduced a programme to hopefully accommodate this with an emphasis on sports provision for young
people.
Equal opportunity to participate in sport for young people is ultimately of great importance for the local area. This can have
a major influence on the life style of young people. We were able to continue our policy of providing facilities and activities
at an affordable rate. This is achieved by keeping our charges to participate in our activities at a low and affordable level
but at same time provide high quality facilities We also continue to offer school children free use of the ball courts
programme I Ipm to 4pm weekdays} s. This has been a major success Wlth record number of children in attendance. Our
main concern for the future will be how we will are able to manage such a large number of children/youth. The majority of
young people that attend are aged between 12 years and 17 years of age. We also continued to run our forever successful
Roller Skating sessions at Tottenham Community Sports Centre. We also organised on a daily basis football coaching
programmes and manage use of the eight ball courts at the sports ground for school children use during weekday5 UP to
6pm and at weekends.
The introduction of making the ground a children only zone continued throughout the year with the scheme being further
developed. All the facilities at the ground were only available for young people at weekends (daytime) and after school up
to 6pn, Monday to Friday. This included exclusive use of the grass football pitches over the year. The Sports Zone was
further enhanced with the rapid increase of local Primary schools using the ground for their sports days. We were delighted
to stage the sports days at the ground because it introduced the ground and its facilities to thousands of local school
children. The schools have welcomed the opportunity to use the ground and have commented the importance of having a
quality grass area which is clear of rubbish, dogs mess and most of all safe.
The grass pitches at the Frederick Knight sorts Ground are regarded as some of the best in North London. To achieve this
level of quality is only possible by Community Action Sport subsidising the maintenance costs of the grass area and use of
the Pavilion. This subsidy is essential to provide the very best of facilities for the local community which is essential if we
are to contribute to offsetting the deprivation of the area. We continued to provide this subsidy throughout the year. The
cost of maintaining the grass area at the ground has continued to increase and the viability of running these is becoming a
challenge This does reflect why most sports grounds and sports pitches in London have deteriorated because of
organisations and councils not being able to provide suffficient funds to maintain such facilities.
We continue to believe it Is a price worth paying if we are able to continue to cope despite the ever increasing costs. It
may be inevitable that in years to come that natural gras5 Pltches will have to be replaced by artificial grass pitches and we
must be prepared for such a decision. This may be the only viable financial option.to provide such facilities if we are to
keep up with the demand of the ever growing local population. especially with the rapid growth of new housing near the
ground. This would involve a costly outlay of finance by Community Action Sport. Our policy at present is to provide the
very best natural grass pitches at the Frederick Knight Sports Ground. The consequence of protecting the use of the grass
pitches by only young people does come at a cost due to the decrease in our pitch hire fees which are at least 5090 lower
than for Adult use.
We have continued our car parking programme on Tottenham Hotspur home match and event days. This has become an
important income source to subsidise our activities. With the ever increasing demand for the use of our car parking facilities
we have to restructure our management to cope with the demand including an increase of car parking staff.

Trustees. Report (continued)
For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
Main Achievements - continued
Community Action Sport staff have continued to work effficiently with most of the work being at the Frederick Knight Sports
Ground. This work covered all aspects including maintenance of the facilities, management of the ball courts pavilion and
providing a programme of artivities for young people.
The probation service continued to provide a team of workers every Tuesday from 9am until 4pm. The team play a very
important role in maintaining the ground and contribute the time and energy of up to ten workers.
The normal activities revolved around maintenance. security and development of the Frederick Knight Sports Ground and
its children sport activities at Tottenham Community Sports Centre. Community Artion Sport continued to keep all its stsff
employed
Community Action Sport continued to run on a financial viable basis. We continued to develop its facilities and activities and
are now back to our pre covid19 level. The importance of the Frederick Knight Sport Ground for the local community is
evident with the high number of people that now use the 51te and this has continued throughout the year. The number of
youth (aged 12 - 17) using the ground is ever increasing and the challenge will be how to accommodate this expansion
in the future
The setting up of the Frederick Knight sports Ground as a zone for young people is a significant
development for the area which has no outdoor sports facilities.
However. Community Action Sport will need the finance
and resources to develop this further.
The Frederick Knight Sports Ground covers nearly I l acres. The site includes a large pavilion, a grass area accommodating
3 football pitches and 4 outdoor five aside courts and 4 seven a side courts. There is also an artificial cricket wicket.
Financial Review
Financial Position
The Statement of Financial Activities shows Income of £ 257.686 in the year and our resources Stand at £684,343 in total.
Expenditure for the year £ 239,658 was spent on rnaintaining the Frederick Knight Sports Ground and the Charity.
The Year 2024-25 has been one of continuing recovery from the consequences of Covid19, the easing of the lockdowns and
the restrictions imposed by the Government. The financial sUPPOrt given to organisations by the Government and local
Authorities has assisted the Charity to survive. This suptK)rt has enabled Community Action Sport to retain its employee
structure and facilities.
The rate of inflation has decreased but the big increase in energy charges and maintenance have added significant financial
costs that are still working their way through the system. The overall costs of running Community Action have increased
and the new legislation enacted by the government will affect the activities undertaken.
