Achievements and performance The 2022123 finallcial year was another successful year for Saints Foundation, wlh ovef 5,000 people, aged from 5 to 96, across the city support8d lo achieve Iheir goals through our various projects. This support was delivered via 15 different programmes, including things that might be expected, such as using football as a positive influence for young people, but also things that rnighl be more surprising, like activities to improve the wellbeing of older people. or help ex-offenders find a new path in life. Most importantly. from an outcomes perspective our work has again proven to b8 èxtremely impactlul. with more than 80tsA of our partieipants reporting at least one positive outcome le.g. irnproving their mental wellbeing. increasing Ihelr aspirations for the future, elcl. Our portfolio of projects was bolstered by the launch of two new, mental health f￿USed projects during the year, namely 'Saints By Your Side,, a project, delivered in partnership with the NHS ICB, supporting adult men and 'Advanlage', which works with young people referred through Children & Families First who are identified as needing additional support around their emotion81 wellbeing. Both have already started making a positive impact. and will no doubt conlinue lo develop and grow in the years to follow. Project sasslons arè delivered predominantly by either full-lirne or casual membèrs of staff, Ihouoh we do also have a small numb81 of volunteers supporting the delivery ol aclivilies. In terms of fundraising. we hosted another successful 'Sainls Foundation Chaiily Dinner,, whilst we also work8d closely with local companies, Barrall Dawd IAfi150n Homes and DP World, to deliver bespoke diriners engaging their partners and contractors. In addition, we delivered another successful Big Bike Challenge, this time from Liverpool, and a new 'Benali on Tour, walking event. a5 well as a large variety ol other events and inilialives lo help U5 raise important unrestricted funds.

April 2023 also saw us launch our new sliategy plan, 'Supporting Soulhamplon, which sets out how will continue lo engage with communities across the city in the coming years, focusing on supporting those who find themselves in most need. This was borne out of rnonlhs of dedicated work, which included significant community and stakeholder consultation. and culminated in us agreeing a new Theory of Change as well as an updated vision, mission and purpose with our Trustees. As such, going foTward we will have five key areas of focus 'Hè3llh'. 'Education'. 'Gender Equality,, 'Employability' and 'Palhways'_ all working towards our over811 go81 of supporting those who feel the irnpact of inequalities the most.

SAINTS FOUNDATION {SFC) TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 Key Partnershlps The eharily's ongoing success is based on slrono partnerships with a variety of local and national stakeholders. as delivery partners and funders, or sometimes both. For example, we receive funding and support from a number of different SoUr￿s, including from SoLJlharnplon FC, Premier League Charitable Fund. the Professional Footballers Association. National Lollery Comtnunily Fund. Children in Nead. Soulhamplon City CouncAI. Police & Crime Commissioner's Office. Inlegraled Care Board and the European Union, as well as an array of local eornrnunily groups, Individuals and businesses. The latter in¢ludes those supporting us via our Corporate Patrons and Patrons Saints schemes. Additionally, a majority of OUT projects are ¢Jelivered in partnership with other charities and organisations, including nearly 30 different schools located across the city of Soulhamploll, various local aulhority partnèrs and facets of the NHS, as well as a variety of local community group5. All ol these partnerships ale inle9ral lo the success and suslainabilily of our delivery model, and, most importanlly, improving the outcomes for the thousands of young people and adults with whorll we work each year. Financial review During the year ending 30 June 2023 the charity re¢efved income amounting to £2,470,176 12022.. £2,548,139). ReSoUr￿S were expended of £2,418,73712022.. £2,213,618). The surplus for the year of £51.439 {2022'. £334,521) has resulted in a cash outflow in the year of £96,640 due to working capi131 movements 12022.. £7.4201 and 8 surplus in unr6slricled funds of £1,091,126 {2022'. £1,000,178). The year end cash position stood at £1,469,770 12022. £1,566.410}. Golng Concarn 2022123 was a Positive year financially. wilh us recording a year-end surplus of £51,439 taking our overall flee reserve al year end lo £1,091,126. This means that whilst we have not quile fulfilled our ambition of holding six months opeiating costs in resetve, as sel our in our Reserves Policy, there has been slgnific8lll progress made to achieve that goal. As of 30th June 2023 oui free reserve would cover 95°A of six months opeialing costs. HowevÉr, dèsprfie our positive reserve position as outlined abov8, we aTe aware that there are some Impending fin8n¢ial thallenges, which we will need lo carefully manage in order lo ensure that we can survive, and more importantly thrive going forward. Our key partner, Soulhamplon Football Club was relegated frorn the Premier League in May 2023, which has18d lo a significant drop in funding that we are eligible lo receive from Ihe Premier League Fund. whilst - like most other charities we are also feeling the irnpacl of the cosl-of-living crisis in other areas. Due lo the above. the Trustees have approved 3 budget for the period to end of December 2024 which includes a £200k deficit. This budget is deemed lo be entirely realistic and achievable, and slre55-lesling has been performed to demonstrate the ability of the charity lo meet its obligations as they fall due, even with unexpected redLJclions In income streams, induding both grant funding and fundraising. This budget was approved on the basis of the charity holding a very healthy reserve, but, most importantly. supporting it to continLJe lo fulfil ils purpose of supporting some of the most vulllerable people living in the city of Southamptorl. This approach also provides the charity's Leadership team with time lo adapt to its new ¢urrenl sIIu8li0n, both in terms of managing costs and maxirnising fundraising opportunilies going fon￿3[d. However, il 15 the shared view of Trustees and the eharily's Leadership team that the 2024125 financial year should see the charity al least breakeven. which - if sufficient new funding is not secured may lèad lo sorne sliuclural changes from summer 2024. In addition, the chaiily continues lo benefit from the donation in kind of office space and certain support functions from Soulhamplon Football Club and consequently has 8 low base of administrative costs that are not direclly related lo particular charitable activilios. A new Service Level Agreemenl between Sain15 Foundation and Southampton Football Club was signed in summer 2022. meaning that a similar levol of 5UPPOrt will conlinue for the foreseeable future. As such, after careful consideration. the Trustees are of the view th81 Ihe charity has sufficient liquidity to continue lo operate during the period in question. and indead long into the future, and therefore consider il 8ppiopriale lo continue to prepare the financial statements ori 8 going concern basis.

REPORT) {CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 Fundraising Saints Foundation are signèd up to the Fundraising Regulato¢s voluntary reoistralion scheme and consider themselves fully cornplianl with the guidelines as sel out. Any new initiatives are signed off through the Chlef Executive Officer of Saillls Foundation and Trustee Board before commencing, and success is measured IhroLJgh a series of financial and operational KPIS, a5 set out in our fundraising s118legy. During the Iinanclal year. no associated complaints wÉre received. and due lo our main method of fundraising being through the running ol events, a local business patrons, club and the sale of iterns on our auotion sile, we are confident that no one will have felt under any undue pressure lo support us.

In preparing the finanaal slalemenls, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability lo continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going ¢oneern basis of aeeounting unless the Iruslees either intend lo liquidal8 th8 charitable company or to ￿ase operations, or have no realislic allernative bul to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financlal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Iinancial slalamènls as a whole are I￿e from materigl misslal8m8nt, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 8udilor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable 8s5urance is a high level of assurance but is not a guaranlee that an audll conducted in accordance with ISAS {UKI will always delecl a material misstatement when il exists. Misstatemenls can aris8 from fiaud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expeded lo Influence the economic decisions of useis taken on the basis ol these financial slatemenls. The extent to whith our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. Extent to which the audit was considered capaljle of detecting irregularities, including fraud Our approach lo idenlilyino and assessing the risks of rnaterial misstatement in respect of irregLJlarities, including fraud and non-￿mplianc8 wilh13ws and regulations, was as follows.. the engagement partller ensured that the engagement team colleclive1y had the appropiiale compet8n￿, capabilities and skills lo identify or r8cognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulaliolls. we identified the laws and regulaliolls applieAble to the company through discussions with directors and c>ther management. and from our commercial knowledge and experience. we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or Ihe operations of the cornpany, including the Companies Act 2006. taxation legislation, dala protection, employment, environmental and health and safely legislation. we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations idenlifled above through maklng enquiries of managemènt. We assessed the susceptibilily ol the company's financial slalemenls lo materi81 misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.. making enquiries of management as to where they considered the￿ was susceptibility to fraud. their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud. considering the intemal controls in pla￿ to mitigate risks of fraud and non-eompliance with laws and regulations.

SAINTS FOUNDATION {SFC) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF SAINTS FOUNDATION (SFC) Audlt rnspons8 to rfsks Idèntlfie To address the risk of fraud through management bias 8nd overiidts of ¢onlrols, we.. perfortned analytical pmcedLJres lo identify any unusual or unexpected relationships. lesled joumal entries lo identify unusual Iransaclions. tested a sample of BACS payments to idenlify paymenis being made to unexpecied bank ac¢ounls. performed transactional testing on payroll cosls in respect of those èmployeès with responsibility or aulhorily in connection with the payroll fun¢lion. assessed whelher jud9emenls and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates wero indicative of potential bias. investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual Iransaclions. In response lo the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedLJrés which included. bul were not limiled lo.. agreeing financial statement disclosur6S to underlying supporting documentation. enquiring of management as lo adual and potential Iilig81ion and claims. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed th31 laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would becomè aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit thè aLJdil procedures required lo identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the diredors and other rnanagemenl and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material rnisstalemenls that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
