HARINGEY SPORTS DEVELOPMENT TRUST
(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees, who are also directors of the charitable company for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements for Haringey Sports Development (the Charity) for the year ended 31[st] March 2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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[st] January 2019). The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission regarding Public Benefit.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing document
The organisation is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee, incorporated on 25th January 1994. The Company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the Charitable Company and its Governing under its Articles of Association. In the event of the Company being wound up Members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding Ten Pounds (£10).
Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee
The Directors of the Company are also Charity Trustees for the purpose of Charity law and under Company’s articles are known as Members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the Members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next General meeting.
Due to the nature of the Sports Development Programme the focus is upon young people. The Management Committee seeks to ensure that the needs of The Trust are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the Trustee body. Educational and Sporting Skills are well represented on the Management Committee as are Business Skills. The Trustees provide a range of knowledge, experience and skills relevant to supporting the aims of the trust.
Trustees Induction and Training
Current Trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the Charity, and involve themselves actively in the programme. New Trustees are sought invariably from the fields of Education, Sport and Leisure. New Trustees have the opportunity to shadow a current Trustee and the CEO. Currently we are also seeking a President that has influential connections and can assist in raising the profile of the Trust in Haringey and beyond. The Trustees are keen to create a cohort of five ‘Junior Trustees’ to have the voice of young people represented at management level and ensure our offer remains relevant.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Management Committee has conducted a review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. A risk register has been established and is updated at least annually. Where appropriate, systems of procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the Charity faces. External risks to funding have led to development of a long-term Business Plan. All Coaches and staff have completed, or are currently undertaking, Governing Body Coaching Courses, First Aid, Child Protection and Equity in Coaching. All coaches working for The Trust have been Police Checked, as have all the Trustees. All events organised and run by the Trust are fully risk assessed.
The Charity’s major operational risk is to ensure that it has appropriate controls in place. The Trustees have reviewed the adequacy of the Charity’s current Internal Controls. This review confirms that the Charity’s internal Financial Controls, in particular, conform to Guidelines issued by the Charity Commission. The systems of Internal Control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against Material Misstatement or Loss. They include:
-
A Strategic Plan and an Annual Budget approved by the Trustees;
-
Regular Consideration by the Trustees of Financial Results of the Charity;
-
Delegation of Authority and Segregation of Duties;
-
Identification and Management of Risks.
Related parties
In so far as it is complimentary to the Charity's objects, the Charity is guided by both Local and National Initiatives and Local Needs.

TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (cont’d)
REPORT OF OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 2425
Borough Context
The borough of Haringey is located in North London with a population of approximately 264,300, BME or other white ethnic groups account for 67% of the resident population. There are over 180 community languages spoken in the borough; almost 30% of Haringey residents do not speak English as their main language of whom one in four either do not speak English well or at all. Haringey is ranked 30th most deprived in England and sixth most deprived district in London according to the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD).
Background to the Trust
Faced with the need to make drastic budget reductions in 1991, Haringey Council closed the borough’s Sport Development Team ‘Community Action Sport’, leaving no provision of local sports development and opportunities for young people to play sport and be active.
Burk Gravis, Haringey Sports Development Trust (The Trust) CEO, set up Haringey Sports Development in 1992 with early backing from the Tottenham Grammar School Foundation which had recently extended its brief from support to poor boys in Tottenham to support for young people throughout the borough of Haringey. Haringey Sport Development gained Charitable Trust Status in 1994. The Trust’s initial vision reflected Burk’s view that young people should have the opportunity to take part in sport and that Haringey schools needed help to ‘develop School Sports and high quality Physical Education.
An early part of the Trust’s work was coordinating the borough entry of young people into the London Youth Games with an early stated ambition to win the overall trophy. Before 1992 Haringey had not finished inside the top twenty of the 33 London Boroughs taking part. Today the Trust enjoys an enviably high reputation across the community sports sector in London and has now taken Haringey to first place in the London Youth Games lifting the Jubilee Trophy in 2022 and again in 2023. Top five finishes have now become the norm.
Partnerships
The School Sport Partnerships established by the Labour Government through Sport England and the Youth Sport Trust provided a golden opportunity for the Trust to work with the Partnership Development Managers of the two School Sports Partnerships in Haringey from 2003.
This initially gave the opportunity to support the work in schools by providing coaches and competition opportunities. The Youth Sport Trust 2009 National Conference had as its theme ’Developing a Sustainable Legacy’. This was prophetic as in 2010 the Coalition Government abolished the School Sport Partnerships replacing them with a stripped down School Games programme and a new acronym of PESSPA (Physical Education, School Sport & Physical Activity) for young people.
Because of the Trust’s established links with the schools it was well placed to support the work of the School Games Organisers and the Haringey School Sports Association (HSSA) to develop school sport in Haringey. The success of the partnership was reflected in Haringey becoming London School Games champions seven times in a row paving the way towards the current London Youth Games success. The HSSA became a part of the Trust in 2018.
Today the Trust employs and manages the work of the School Games Organisers offering a wide competition programme to all the borough schools and supports the PESSPA strategy with an unmatched programme of Continual Professional Development in Physical Education for Primary and Special Schools managed by the Trust and delivered by former PE Advisers and national leaders in AfPE (The Association for Physical Education) Jan Hickman and Kim Henderson. The Trust has worked with Healthy Schools to support and provide opportunities for physical activity for young people.
The Trust enjoys a high profile across the community sports sector in London and is viewed as a successful and sustainable model for Sports Development.The School Sport Partnerships established by the Labour Government through Sport England and the Youth Sport Trust provided a golden opportunity for the Trust to work with the Partnership Development Managers of the two School Sports Partnerships in Haringey from 2003.
Young Ambassadors and Sports Makers
The Trust has a strong record of increasing participation and affecting Young People’s attitude towards Improved lifestyle, dealing with obesity and wellbeing. The Young Ambassadors Programme Upskills Young People in gaining Leadership and Coaching Qualifications and opportunities in a variety of Sports linked to the School Sport and London

Holiday Sports Camps
These sports camps are now in their 32nd Year; they attract excellent reviews and continue to be fully booked over Easter and the Summer.
The camps link to Duckett’s Common Basketball Programme ( which has a high profile and ever-increasing popularity amongst youngsters ) attracted in the region of 60-70 youngsters every day from all over the Borough.
This is achieved by Delivering Programmes direct into the Schools after School Clubs, and by using the same Coaches from the Schools Programme. Working on the Schools Programme Parents and Youngsters are encouraged and enthused to attend the Holiday Provision.
The Programme this year has Twilight Basketball delivered at TPL with huge success. Featuring in the Evening Standard magazine and interest from 5 Live, One Show and addition Selby Centre has been added to the programme with Basketball being delivered.
Funding
The Tottenham Grammar School Foundation has been our main support since the Trust’s inception in 1992 and we look forward to maintaining this relationship. The Trust has also secured funding from a number of National Agencies including Sport England and the Home Office to increase capacity, The Trust is always seeking additional funding through a variety of avenues and promoting the success of the programmes to attract possible sponsorship.
Whilst securing funding is always a challenge, the success of our programmes continues to attract funding from Tottenham Grammar School Foundation, Haringey Council and Street Games.

Summary
Since our last update, the Trust has extended its outreach, now working with 53 primary schools, ten senior schools, and four special needs schools across the Borough. Our School Holiday Programmes have grown, now hosted at three sites: The Selby Centre, Hornsey School for Girls, and Duckett’s Common, an area facing challenges of deprivation and anti-social behaviour. This expansion has positively impacted local commerce and garnered support from the Metropolitan Police and the Local Council.
Our unique Schools Programme is part of the School Games Initiative, offering a comprehensive School Sports Calendar in London. This calendar includes around 29 sports from September to July, supporting the London Youth Games and providing local clubs with participation opportunities. The Selby Centre, situated in a high-deprivation area in Tottenham, boasts a strong basketball program. At Hornsey Girls School, the Summer Programme has significantly influenced new and current Year Seven students, demonstrating the lasting impact of Sports on Girls' participation rates.
We've also focused on strengthening local clubs by increasing activity levels, particularly among girls. Through the London Youth Games, we've made gradual progress, which includes Coaching Education Programmes and volunteering opportunities at major sports events in London. Additionally, our support for schools in securing equipment funding has been a major focus this year, helping athletes achieve at county and international levels.
Future
Looking ahead, our primary goal is to maintain a stable and effective Trust. We aim to continue delivering our current programmes and expand where feasible, especially considering the financial constraints post-pandemic, which severely affected sports in many areas. As a small Trust, our focus is on sustainable growth and understanding the pressures faced by our partners, including schools, clubs, and parents.
After consecutive wins of the Jubilee Trophy in the London Youth Games - a first for an inner London borough in 44 years - our ambition is to secure further wins and at least top five placements. We hope to demonstrate to other London Boroughs that it's possible to rise from the bottom to the top through robust sports development.
Finally, we plan to review and update our Business Plan for the next three years, adapting to the evolving landscape of sports and community needs and develop our website and social media profile to attract more young people to adopt physical activity and healthy lifestyles.
