REDHOUSE FARM JUNIOR FOOTBALL CLUB REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

The trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th June 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the financial statements and comply with the charity’s constitution and applicable law.

Structure, governance and management

Governing Document

Redhouse Farm Junior Football Club was established by its constitution adopted on 8th March 2004 as amended on 27 May 2025. It is a registered charity with the Charity Commission, number 1103025.

Appointment and retirement of Trustees

The number and skills of trustees is regularly reviewed and any gaps identified. Existing trustees then approach suitable candidates who are invited to attend meetings, initially as observers, before being formally invited to join the committee following discussion and references. The power of appointment and retirement of trustees is vested in the Committee of Trustees.

Trustee induction and training

Trustees are given a brief history of Redhouse Farm Junior Football Club and are encouraged to become involved in activities. All members receive Charity Commission publications in order to keep them up to date with their role and responsibilities.

Organisation

The charity is organised so that the trustees meet regularly to review its affairs and set objectives with the chairperson being responsible for day to day activities.

Risk management

The trustees have agreed to examine, on an annual basis, the major risks being faced by the charity. These risks include financial, operational and regulatory. Systems are in place to minimise the risks, including preparation of regular financial reports, maintenance of insurance and management reviews. These systems are reviewed periodically to ensure the needs of the charity are being met. The Charity comply with the requirement to conduct DBS checks on trustees and volunteers.

Objectives and activities

The objectives of the Charity are:-

• To help and educate young people through their leisure time activities;

• To foster positive identification with the local community; and

• To encourage co-operation, teamwork and tolerance.

The trustees are satisfied that the objectives and activities of the charity are in accord with the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and performance

There is a deficit in unrestricted funds for the year of £1,319 (2024: surplus £3,868) and the level of free reserves at 30 June 2025 stood at £79,325 (2024: £77,826). The Trustees intended to work towards increasing free reserves through fundraising events in 2025/26.

Financial Review

The results for the year are set out on page 6.

This season subscriptions have remained the same due to the current economic climate. Subscriptions are £180 for first teams and £117 for second teams or siblings. U7 teams and managers continue to be offered a discount. We will endeavour to help those families who need it.

The building is no longer used during the day and therefore we receive no income from hire. The Lottery remains our only attempt at fundraising and we are encouraging our members to take part.

Investment policy

The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing cash resources and have decided that term bank deposit accounts meet their requirements of a reasonable rate of return, without capital risk, and with predictable accessibility to the funds. The trustees review this policy annually.

Reserves policy

The trustees consider that a sensible level of free reserves that the charity needs to hold (those reserves not invested in fixed assets or designated for a particular purpose) should equate to six months of operating expenditure, as is quite normal in other concerns. This policy would therefore indicate a level of £59,000. Free reserves at 30 June 2025 are £79,325.

REDHOUSE FARM JUNIOR FOOTBALL CLUB REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)

Plans for future periods

We have increased our attempts to obtain a 4G pitch at our ground. Due to the ever wetter weather many games are still having to be cancelled in the winter months. Having a 4G pitch would help with this situation and would also help eliminate the cost of winter training. We are planning talks with the Council and the Football Association in seeking grants for this project. They are looking very favourably at the plan. We will seek sponsors from local businesses and have many good ideas for fundraising to help with the enormous cost of this venture. Our facilities will be greatly enhanced by this addition. It is likely that subscriptions will need to increase slightly next season to help with this project.

We also plan to upgrade the clubhouse with new tables and chairs. We also intend to obtain a new cabin to hold pitch marking and other equipment to free up space in the changing rooms which need repainting.

TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
