Footscray Rugby Sports & Athletic Club

Charity Number 1090979

Trustees Report

Period ended - 31[st] December 2024

Our Aims and Objectives

Purposes and Aims

Our charity’s purpose as set out in our constitution rules are to:

The focus of our work

Our main objectives for the year continue to be the provision of playing pitches and equipment (e.g. goals) for rugby & football during the winter months, cricket & football during the summer. This year the charity’s management committee has:

How our activities deliver public benefit

The charity has been working with other organisations that provide education and sports opportunities to young people including providing rooms for classes and sports academies

Who used and benefited from our services

Principle funding sources

The charity’s primary source of revenue is from the hire of pitches. Other sources of revenue include the hire of a function room and the operation of a bar for club members.

The management committee is continuing to investigate opportunities to provide electric car charging points and a joint venture with another company to provide Padel facilities.

Discussions will be required with Greenwich council (the charities landlord) before any commitments are made.

Grants are utilised where possible to help improve the pitches, for instance the charity is currently receiving a 3-year grant from the Football Association to improve the grass pitch surfaces and have in the past used funding from the Rugby Football Union to purchase improved equipment for cutting the grass.

Risk Management

A refresher review of Health & Safety at the site was performed during the year, some minor areas for improvement were identified and logged with action plans; all items so logged have been closed.

Staff training in terms of first aid, manual handling and fire marshals was refreshed.

Compliance with food hygiene requirements in all areas serving food and drink was checked, the high rating of 5 was maintained.

As per many small charities, there is a small staff and full segregation of duties is not always achievable. The trustees have reviewed the controls over cash and are satisfied that these are appropriate for the size of the enterprise.
