STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The organisation which is a registered charity limited by guarantee was incorporated March 2005. The governing document is the company’s memorandum and articles of association. Anyone over the age of 18 can become a member. It is managed by a Management Board of trustees. Executive committee meetings are held monthly and agenda items include finance, health & safety and staff reports.

At the AGM the Trustees will approve the retirement of existing Directors and/or the recruitment of new Trustees in accordance with the Articles of Association under general meetings page 7 section 2.8 items (3) and (4).
Induction and training of new trustees
Trustees are appointed on the basis of their ability to bring to the Management Board a range of skills to assist in the governance and development of the Charity. Before appointment they are guided by the project co-ordinator through a comprehensive induction procedure designed to give them a complete understanding of the aims and aspirations of the Charity. In addition, Charity Commission literature is given to all Trustees on an on-going basis in order to assist them to understand their legal responsibilities.
Organisational structure
Anfield Sports and Community Centre Limited have a Management Board who meet in person or virtually at least 8 times per year and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the Charity.
Risk identification and management
The main risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been considered and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Potential risks identified by the Trustees to the constitution of the Association’s activities are:
-
Loss of funding stream
-
Lack of community involvement and take up
-
Loss of access to adequate levels and/or experienced staff
The Trustees have sought to minimise these risks in the following ways:

The Trustees and staff are constantly seeking out new avenues of funding. They also ensure rigorous systems are in place for collecting monitoring information.
-
Maintaining financial control in order to satisfy funding regulations and maintain positive relationships with funding organisations.
-
ASCC ensures community involvement and take-up through regular consultation with users and publicising of activities and services

Public Benefit
When planning and programming activities for the local residents of Anfield and Tuebrook, the Trustees of Anfield Sports and Community Centre are mindful of the Charity Commissions guidelines on Public Benefit.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The principal aims and objectives of the charity are:
-
To promote, for the benefit of the inhabitants of Anfield and Tuebrook and the surrounding area of Liverpool, the provision of facilities for sport and other recreation. In addition, provide leisure time facilities for individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances and for the public at large in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving the condition of life of the said inhabitants.
-
To involve the people of Anfield and Tuebrook and the surrounding area of Liverpool in a collective effort so that they gain confidence in their own abilities and their ability to influence decisions that affect them.
-
To promote general charitable purposes for the benefit of the communities of Anfield and Tuebrook and the surrounding area of Liverpool and to advance the education of its residents of all ages; and in particular to provide opportunities for the aforementioned residents to participate fully in the life of their community in ways which address and alleviate social and economic disadvantage.

PERSONNEL
We are happy to report that our staff kept healthy throughout the pandemic, and that those who did catch covid-19 have made a full recovery. We are grateful to our staff for their on-going commitment to the centre and for the flexibility and resolve they have shown during the periods of closure over the last 12 months. Many of our staff continued to work during the closure periods, enabling us to secure the building and to continue to serve the community by hosting a food bank and a local school. Other members of our team were placed on furlough during the period which helped us to control our costs and better secure the Centre’s future.
We were sorry to say goodbye to Inayah Robinson-Greenidge who left us just before the end of the financial year. Although she was only with us for a short period, Inayah made a great impression on many of our regular Centre users. We are grateful for her contribution, and wish her every success in her new career and look forward to welcoming her when she visits us in future.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Key partnerships
The pandemic has shown us the true value of partnerships, and we have received incredible support from so many people and organisations with whom we have worked in recent times.

ANFIELD SPORTS AND COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021
We are particularly grateful to the following organisations for their practical and financial support throughout the past financial year:
Liverpool FC Foundation Red Neighbour Liverpool City Council Pears Foundation Steve Morgan Foundation Power to Change Street Games UK Youth Street League Merseyside Play Action Council Sport England
Use of the Centre during the pandemic
Schools programme
In response to a call from the City Mayor for community centres to support local schools and 'house' school year groups we created a “Nightingale” Hub for All Saints School based on site within one of the Centre’s main sports halls. With health and wellbeing being a key focus for the hub, the delivery of physical activities not only supported the health and wellbeing of the children but furthermore allowed the school to apply Covid 19 safe social distancing measures on school grounds as year groups were housed at ASCC throughout the day. Staff and children thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to use the Centre’s sporting facilities to enhance their work across curriculum strands, to build physical activity levels with pupils and meet school education objectives. The success of the school hub has brought a wealth of benefits to both ASCC and the school, so much so that the hub currently remains in place and we welcome children from the school across the school term times.
North Liverpool Food Bank
From April 2020 to July 2020, we supported North Liverpool Food Bank by repurposing our sports hall into a food storage and distribution hub. Packing and distribution of essential food hampers ran each day, supported by an army of volunteers, many of whom were on furlough from a range of business including British Gas, LFC, Wetherspoons and local organisations closed due to the pandemic. It is estimated over 8,000 essential food parcels were distributed to families and individuals living in both the North & South areas of Liverpool.
Adhering to full social distancing and hygiene procedures the hub operated each day from 8.30am – 3pm Monday – Friday with adaptions to time as the demand changed.
Fit and Fed @ Home
During the period March to July 2020 the sports team co-ordinated an adapted fit and fed programme, delivered at home rather than on-site. We were able to purchase key equipment and arts materials which were distributed to local families to support positive family engagement. This included a range of tennis equipment provided by the LTA and Street Games. The incorporation of the equipment into a structured digital offer saw a range of challenges and weekly interaction via Zoom to connect the families further and keep them active.
Integrated into this offer was the provision of fresh food packs and supermarket vouchers to our vulnerable families to support those at risk of falling into critical need during the lockdown period. Our volunteers and management board supported the drop-off of the food packs each week to families and those vulnerable adults linked to the walking football programme. Contact with these individuals and families each week was very welcome and helped reduce isolation.
6
ANFIELD SPORTS AND COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021
At the peak of delivery, we supported over 50 families and vulnerable adults with fresh food and essential supplies each week.
Local businesses who supported our fit and fed food offer included:
Townsend Bakery M. Reilly & Sons Butchers Fruit & vegetables from local wholesale market Pre-cooked food donated by Liverpool FC / Red Neighbour North Liverpool Food bank Food4Thought
In partnership with Street Games UK, a short documentary was filmed about our fit and fed programme and aired on BBC Lifeline in April 2020 with commentary by Greg Rutherford. M.B.E. This can be found at

Summer holiday camp
During August 2020 the return to on-site activities allowed a covid safe summer sports camp to be delivered to over 80 young people. Working in ‘bubbles’ young people experienced a range of opportunities and were provided with lunch and snacks each day. The staff and volunteers followed strict covid-safe procedures and delivered a 4-week fit and fed programme.
Return to full operations
From September 2020 to March 2021 a slow and controlled return to indoor and outdoor provision saw the return of many of our partners and customer base, a welcome return for all.
Building maintenance
We are grateful to the Steve Morgan Foundation and to Liverpool FC Foundation for making available to us a significant grant which has allowed us to undertake a maintenance programme across the Centre prior to our re-opening in April 2021. We have undertaken repainting of the common areas of the building, a thorough clean of the changing rooms, refurbishment of the children’s toilets, the addition of new division curtains in both of our sports halls, upgrade to the equipment in the Peter Moore Room, expanded CCTV coverage and much more. We hope you will already have noticed the difference this work has made to the look and feel of the Centre.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves Policy
The Trustees regularly review the organisation’s reserves, and the Charity holds unrestricted funds for the purpose of supporting its charitable objectives and activities. Where grant income and other incoming resources are received and designated for a specific project, restricted funds are created with incoming resources and resources expended in respect of that project being allocated to the fund.
Underlying financial performance
Although we are again reporting a significant accounting deficit for the period, much of this is made up of non-cash items such as depreciation and provisions. Our underlying operating performance remains in line with our expectations.
Plans for Future Periods
During the year we established a strategic working group with a view to developing a medium to long-term vision for the future development of the Centre. Whilst the group’s work was curtailed by
