SPORTSREACH TRUST
ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
__________________
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The SportsReach Trust is registered with the charity commissioners’ number 1065723.
Objectives
The object of the charity is to advance the Christian faith through the vehicle of sport in the UK and abroad.
The charity raises income through gifts and donations from churches, individuals and trusts as well as from the running children’s Soccer & Netball Schools.
The charity’s main expenditure during the year was staff salaries.
Activities and Performance
The main activities of SportsReach over the summer months are the many Soccer and Netball Schools which take place nationally but especially in the North West of England where SportsReach is based. These five day schools followed by a presentation service at a local church give children the opportunity to learn football and netball skills, make friendships and hear the Christian message.
SportsReach Soccer & Netball Schools are fantastic fun and filled with encouragement to build up the children attending and every effort is made not to put anyone under any adverse pressure. Past experience has shown that the programme is entertaining, educational and promotes both spiritual and physical health and fitness.
The main activities during the rest of the year include the adult football and netball leagues. These attract people from many backgrounds and walks of life as we have found that sport is a great unifier when participated in a positive environment. Each match is accompanied by a short gospel presentation in accordance with our objectives and players listen attentively and respectfully.
In addition, SportsReach holds a 5 a-side football league and all day tournaments for both netball and football. These increase the scope and availability for more people to benefit from SportsReach programmes.
In 2022, SportsReach went to Germany, France & Albania with football tours for men and women. Participants gained valuable skills and encouragement, whilst the opposition teams were all glad to receive a friendly match and presentation of the Christian faith.
Review of Financial Position
The financial results for the year are as set out on the Income and Expenditure Account on pages 5 to 7. The position at the end of the year is shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities on page 8.
The Trustees consider the state of the affairs of the Charity to be satisfactory, and consider that there are sufficient reserves to meet its liabilities.
