KENT SCHOOLS FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION (Chan"ty 1048049) TRUSTEES? REPORT TO THE CHARITY COMMISSIONERS 2023-2024 The KSFA has continued to provide, on a voluntary basis, a variety of football activities for young people att¢nding schools in the Administrativc County of KenL the Medway Unitary Authority, and thc London Boroughs of Bexley and Bromley> in pursuance of its object: the mental, moral and physical development ofschoolchildren through the medium ofAssociation Football. Th&8e activities have included: • Inter-school l(nock-out competitions from Under 12 to Undcr 19 (Boys) • The long-established KSFA Under 19 League, now in its 45 seaso with over 90 teams in the 16-19 age group playing wcckly fixtures + Inter-school l(nock-out competitions for Girls (Under 13, Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18) • Inter-district competitions from Under I I to Under l5 (Boys)- some of which date back to 1921 • County Representative Teams from Under I I to Under 18 (Boys) • County R4)resentative Teams for Girls (Under 14 and tinder 16) • Tours abroad for some of the county rq)resentative teams Participation levels in the inter-school COMltiOnS continued to rise and were ahnost back to pre- Covid levels. This boosted income. There were good income streams from cup fllials, where online ticketing continued to be very sUcceSsfi. Cost pressures, largely the result of Infiatio affected the staging of inter-county games. The KSFA'S fmancial situation remains good, despite reductions in grant income for competitions from the English Schools FA. A strong balance sheet enables the KSFA to withstand some reduction Reserves Policy: The Association holds reserves to cover setbacks in funding or cash flow and to reduce the impact of risks from the external ¢nvironment. These proved to be beneficial during the disruptions caused by Covid-10, and duting the period of high infiation in 2023. Reserves are necessary to ensure the Association can meet its obligations if intended funding sources diminish. ID considering the appropriate level of reserves the Tn]ste¢s considered areas of possible financial risk. These equate to at least 18 months of operating Costs, and therefore the intention of the Trustees is to have Reserves of at least this amount. Philip J Harding General Secretaryifrustee 18.11.2024
