REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
To provide basketball and other sport related opportunities for underprivileged youth.
To advance the education of children and young persons by providing sporting facilities, coaching facilities and opportunities for playing basketball and other sport.
To provide and assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation for individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, sex, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life and of reducing social exclusion.
To provide training opportunities to support young people achieve a number of sport and leisure related qualifications.
Our own sports club London United Basketball Club allows us to provide specialist coaching provision for our programmes. We also have extensive links with a variety of sports organisations, educational institutions and government bodies allowing us to provide highly flexible tailored programmes to meet a wide range of specific needs.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
This financial year has seen further growth in our provision through income generated mainly through partnerships with academic institutions, grants received for specific actions and membership to cover coaching provisions. The charity is delivering actions ranging from grassroots programmes in schools throughout the London Boroughs local to our operations. projects to reduce social isolation, and actions promoting elite-level international competitions in a range of sports. Provision has expanded to widen the reach of our projects with a special emphasis on raising both the athletic and academic achievement of young people. This period has seen further expansion of our disability programmes including provision for young people with a wide range of learning and or physical needs.
The charity receives funding, mainly from educational bodies, in order to operate and deliver on its charitable objectives. The charity is very much dependent upon this revenue and budgets accordingly around the expected funding levels.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity is wholly reliant upon grant making bodies, predominantly from the educational sector, and hence operates on a very lean basis without the ability to retain much by way of reserves.
Principal funding sources
The charity predominantly receives funding from grant making bodies from the educational sector. In addition to this the charity received funding from lottery funded bodies.
Reserves policy
The reserves are represented by money held at normal bank current accounts. The charity very much depends upon grant bodies to sustain the delivery of its charitable objectives. As such therefore the charity is unable to retain funds to a degree that would otherwise remove this dependency. We continue to see a persistent increase in the demand for the services that we offer which we have continued to expand and grow.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Constitution adopted 04 April 2005 as amended on 14 May 2009 as amended on 08 August 2017.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FUTURE STARS
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Future Stars
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Future Stars (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
