TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” and the Charities SORP "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)".
1. Foreword from the Trustees
We are thrilled to have seen how the Foundation has continued to evolve and respond to the needs of local residents this season.
With programmes opening doors to education and pathways into employment, driving healthier and happier lifestyles, and building safer, stronger communities, the Foundation is truly delivering on the Club's vision to create life-changing opportunities across North London.
This impact report not only reflects that success, but also highlights the Foundation’s commitment to inclusivity, empowering progress across some of the most deprived neighbourhoods in England.
As always, many thanks to funders such as the Premier League Charitable Fund and People’s Postcode Lottery, whose support is vital.
The Foundation is now better placed than ever to create lasting, meaningful change for those who need it most and we could not be more excited to present details of our progress in this report.
We, the Board of Trustees, alongside the CEO and Foundation team wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to Donna Maria Cullen for her exceptional dedication and longstanding service as a Trustee of the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation. Throughout her decades with the Club, Donna Maria has been a driving force behind its community impact, bringing wisdom, compassion and unwavering commitment to every initiative. Her leadership playeda vital role in the formation of the Foundation itself, helping shape programmes that have positively transformed countless lives across our communities. As a long serving Trustee of the Foundation, her advocacy and stewardship have ensured that our work remained ambitious, inclusive and deeply rooted in the Club's values. We are profoundly grateful for her vision, her integrity, and the generosity of spirit she brought to the Board - qualities that will continue to inspire the Foundation’s mission for years to come.
2. A welcome from the CEO
It gives me huge pleasure to shine a light on the impact we made in the 2024/25 season, representing a significant increase in our social value and highlighting the positive difference we are making for our local communities.
The season was one of resilience, growth and community-focused initiatives, and | would once again like to thank the Board for their time, support and guidance and the Foundation team for all their hard work and relentless dedication to support as many people as possible in the Spurs heartlands.
From supporting young people in their educational and employment journeys to tackling health inequalities, every programme delivered is a step towardsa better future.
As we cast an eye back on our achievements of last season, we also have one eye on next season in which we will celebrate the Foundation’s 20th birthday, develop our next strategy and launch a number of fundraising products, all of which will support us to beckon in a new era that will enable us to effect even greater change.

Social value is a way of measuring the impact created by an organisation, as part of its everyday output.

Premier League Kicks
Football and multi-sports were delivered to 2,715 local youngsters over the course of 1,272 hours through our delivery of Premier League Kicks.
Funded through the Premier League Charitable Fund, the programme uses the power of football and sport to inspire young people in some of the most high-need areas to reach their potential.
Among grateful parents has been Vikki Palmer, whose children Gracie and Millie took part in sessions.
“They've both really enjoyed it. If Gracie wasn’t here, I'd be working, so she’d probably be sat on her tablet scrolling through social media and watching TV. Instead, she’s able to be out in the fresh air, exercising and making new friends.”

Local youngsters say the Huddle Project — a dual football and flag football programme funded by the Foundation, NFL, and Nike — is “opening doors” they did not know existed.
The Huddle Project celebrated its first birthday in October, during a season when 568 participants benefited from 426 hours of delivery.
Kristian Cato said: “The staff told me they saw a leader in me, and | just needed that to blossom, so I've been given and grown into certain roles at sessions. This had led to other opportunities and pathways, such as the Foundation’s Spurred 2 Coach course, helping at the Chicago Bears’ Mini Monsters session and doing some stewarding at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when the NFL was here.”
Another participant, Muskaan, has enjoyed the programme so much that she is now aspiring to become a Foundation coach.
“The Huddle Project benefits you physically, mentally, and socially. | enjoy the environment. The coaches make it so safe and fun that you just want to be there ail the time.
“Since participating, I've done Spurred 2 Coach and work experience with the Foundation and now volunteer with some of the coaches at their football sessions. It's just opened loads of doors for me.”
Spurred 2 Coach Introduction to coach programme. Upon completion, participants are supported on to the FA Introduction to Coaching Football qualification.

Headteacher Maria Kokotsis said: “We believe happy children are happy learners and when Spurs is involved the feedback from the children is always so positive. The feedback is generally ‘Miss, that was the best day!’ They're always in awe of what the Foundation can offer them.”

Another participant, Zumeya, said: “The programme's taught us things we wouldn't normally do in or even outside school, so it's really helped.”
Steve Campbell, pastoral manager at Heartlands High School, explained: “We've had a few challenging kids who have really enjoyed the programme and speak highly of the Foundation mentors — one of the first still talks about it now. Having that professional! voice and it being affiliated with football makes a difference.”

Shape Up with Spurs
A flagship Foundation programme, Shape Up with Spurs has supported 1,624 people last season, through 1,078 hours of circuit-based physical activities.
It is part of our Making Sport a Daily Habit programme funded by the Premier League and Professional Footballer’s Association Community Fund.
Mike Sahodree has been a regular participant in Shape Up with Spurs since he was introduced to the programme more than five years ago. The sessions have got him back to running at the age of 75.
“At the point of being introduced to Shape Up with Spurs, I'd had some problems in my life and was also neglecting my diet. | was in the mindset that I’d just walk from time to time to keep fit. The programme helped me realise |! needed to change and inspired me to improve my diet and fitness overall.”
Mike is originally from Mauritius. He lived in various parts of the UK before settling locally. “I've engaged with my local football clubs across the country, but Spurs beat them all community-wise. It’s not just Shape Up with Spurs on offer, but also help for people to find jobs, improve their mental health and so much more.”
Cerebral palsy football
Back in September, the Foundation formed a team to give people with cerebral palsy (CP) an opportunity to play football alongside those of similar physical abilities.
They won their first trophy in March, with young Liam scoring a hat-trick in the final.
His mum, Nera, said: “Liam’s always been obsessed with football, and it's helped with his mobility a lot. He had a wheelchair when he was littie and was told he might not walk properly.
“But trying to fit in with other boys his age has, naturally, been difficult through the years.

“For me, to see him playing, with everyone telling me they've never seen him so happy, we wouldn't get this without the Foundation CP team. Thinking of everything we've gone through with hospital appointments, to see him at his peak like this, it's just brilliant and I'm so grateful.”

Get into Work
The Foundation runs a wide range of free opportunities to help support thousands of people into employment. Last season, this included a sports business careers fair co-hosted by Ali Sakinsel.
Ali has benefited from various Foundation initiatives, including our Level Up Network supported by the Mayor of London, a programme for young people to develop their employability and life skills.
He said: “It’s been an incredible journey for me, from taking part in programmes like Level Up Network and Start Something, to now working with the Foundation and having the opportunity to host this incredible event. The support has been amazing.”
Samuel Foster, who as a teenager joined our delivery of Premier League Kicks, attended the careers fair with the Premier League, where he has since progressed to a full-time role. He hoped to inspire others on a similar journey.
“The Foundation gave me the opportunity to see a pathway to the next stage of my life. It wasn’t just the football; it was everything around it — supporting those within underrepresented groups and in underrepresented areas and aiming to increase social mobility. That is the message we're sharing here.”
Start Something
Start Something is an eight-week business-building bootcamp for residents aged 18-30, culminating in a Dragon's Den-style pitch at the Stadium.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We aim for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) to be a thread that runs through all that we do.
To us DEI means:
Diversity - Empowering people by respecting and valuing their unique characteristics and contributions, resulting in a rich variety of people from different backgrounds.
Equity - Making sure that everyone has an equal chance to make the most of their lives and talents.
Inclusion - Involving and welcoming everyone in a way that encourages and enables them to be themselves.
Our DEI strategy is organised across four pillars; People and Culture, Infrastructure, Communities and Partners that help us to attract and develop the best talent, provide relevant, accessible and impactful programmes for those in our local communities, particularly those who are most marginalised, and collaborate with partners to maximise our reach and share our learning.
Environmental! Sustainability
This year has been an important step forward in our journey to understand, reduce, and inspire change around sustainability. We know that our organisation has both a footprint and a voice, and we're determined to use both responsibly.
Our focus has been on deepening our understanding of the social and environmental impacts of our programmes and on exploring how the power of our brand can help shape more sustainable practices among the participants and communities we reach. Through conversations, collaborations, and social action initiatives, we’ve been building momentum around the idea that meaningful change starts with awareness and grows through collective action.
Our sustainability objectives guide this work, and during this reporting period, we have focused on the following:
-
Understanding our environmental impact - a review of each programme was conducted, applying the lens of energy consumption, waste, procurement and travel
-
Innovating for positive change — We continue to challenge ourselves to think differently and to reduce negative impact wherever possible, from the way we deliver our activities to the partnerships we choose.
-
Inspiring wider action — Our brand carries influence, and we are using it to empower participants to take part in social action that supports people and planet.
Our work in this area is guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), and we remain committed to working collaboratively to reduce negative impact and to contribute meaningfully to both local and global sustainability priorities.

Financial review
Fundraising . The Foundation invested in two Fundraising Managers in 24/25 and transferred someone internally into a Partnerships Executive role to help build relationships and revenue with Club partners and wider corporate networks.
Fundraising activity increased, pre-empted with an awareness match in November 2024 (vs Aston Villa) to warm the match day audience up to the Foundation.
We were the charity partner of the Fresh Art Fair at Alexandra Palace in January and generated fundraising income from raffles and on the spot donations.
In March we ran our first Legends match, between Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan Glorie. Around 16,500 people watched the match, and several fundraising initiatives took place, mostly through the auction platform A Noble Gift with whom we partnered.

Finally, we launched a monthly prize draw in June 2025 aimed at regular givers, providing them a chance to win fantastic Spurs prizes, such as mascot places, in return for a small monthly commitment.
Alongside a lot of effort in growing fundraising income, a lot of work was done on infrastructure, regulatory set up and general compliance activity.
Looking forward to 25/26 is going to see an increase in initiatives, a focus on supporter retention and growth, and more sophisticated development of the fundraising practices within the Foundation, alongside the development of a new 3-year strategy.
No person or company was engaged by or acted on behalf of the Foundation for its fundraising activities, and no pressure was applied to any person to donate. No complaints were received regarding the Foundation's fundraising efforts.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Reserves Policy
The Board of Trustees reviewed the Foundation's reserves policy in April 2025.
The policy is that the level of free reserves (i.e. unrestricted and undesignated funds) is intended to potentially cover any shortfall in the medium-term funding plans and cover the Foundation's running costs for at least a twelve-month period if income streams where to cease completely.
The work that the Foundation conducts is relational and collaborative built upon partnerships with other organisations, across all industry sectors. Where it is deemed appropriate activities can be sub-contracted to another organisation. The Foundation's reserves cover Restricted Reserves and Unrestricted Reserves (being General and Designated). These are set out in Notes 19 to 21. ;
Restricted Funds to be carried forward on 30th June 2025 are £0.4m (2024: £0.3m).
The General Reserves to be carried forward on 30th June 2025 are £2.7m (2024: £2.7m).
The Designated Funds to be carried forward on 30th June 2025 are £2.5m (2024: £2.6m).
Designated Funds are made up of tangible fixed assets - mainly improvements at our headquarters Percy House and Enfield Section 106. Percy House is held on a 25-year lease and was significantly developed in 2017/18 with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund to become a central space for the Foundation activities. After 10 years the Enfield Section 106 project has ended, and the funds remain earmarked for future expenditure to deliver sports, physical activities and community and other Foundation programmes in Enfield.
Principal funding sources and expenditure in the year under review have been carefully monitored to ensure that the funding sources and expenditure has supported the key objectives of the Foundation and aligns with the Strategy.
Going Concern Statement
The Board of Trustees continually monitors the Foundation’s exposure to its principal risks and uncertainties which includes Financial Risks. The Board mitigates the potential for the risk to arise and the potential impact through regular monitoring of the Foundation's finances. The monitoring compares on a cumulative quarterly basis the actual and the forecast financial performance for the year with the planned performance according to the budget. Monitoring also includes the cashflow position.
As part of the annual budget setting and decision-making process the Board of Trustees considers going concern status with the main factors being the sources, nature, and quantum of income to be generated to enable the Foundation to pursue and to achieve the ambitions set out in its strategy. Prudent assumptions are made in setting the annual budget for the year's operations and within the context of a three-year perspective of potential impact on Foundation's general reserves.
It is in the above context that the Trustees are of the view that the Foundation has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, being a minimum of twelve months from the signing of these accounts and, as such, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS‘ REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Investment Policy
The Foundation keeps its cash reserves in a low-risk money market deposit account. This is reviewed monthly.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
Key risks include:
-
¢ Finance. A historical over-reliance on core funders (Club, PLCF, PPL) requires continuous attention to income diversification. During the year, a newly established fundraising team was hired.
-
¢ Safeguarding and participant welfare. The nature of the relationships that are built up between staff and participants could lead to under-reporting of low-level concerns. A focus on continual training, including whistleblowing, a refreshed code of conduct, as well as revised policies were introduced and embedded during the year.
-
¢ Recruitment and retention — it is essential that our workforce represents the community we operate in, as best we can. We continued to review our recruitment practices, development pathways and delivered inclusive hiring training.
-
*« Compliance and governance risks. There is a large amount of reporting that is required of the business on a regular basis. To mitigate this, we have dedicated staff responsible for compliance reporting in post, and an annual planning cycle in place to support accurate and timely filing expectations.
Plans for future periods
-
¢ Launch 20th anniversary fundraising campaigns.
-
¢ Develop our next strategic plan, developed through a wide-ranging stakeholder consultation that took place in 2025.
-
¢ Continue to increase the focus of our delivery on Haringey and Enfield delivery.
-
¢ Launch our 24/25 impact report at The House of Commons.
-
¢ Expand our STEM outreach work through the installation of a dedicated STEM learning zone at Percy House.
-
¢ Increase the number of Designated Safeguarding Officers.
-
¢ Launch a revised DEI strategy.
-
¢ Align our work with the UN Sustainable Development Goals that fit best with our values, delivery and Club objectives.
Structure, governance and management
Established in 2006, with significant backing and support from the Club, the Foundation uses its relationship with the world of professional football to access, create and deliver opportunities that can, through the engagement and sustained participation of those it serves, change their outlooks, their prospects, and their lives.
All the services that the Foundation provides to its communities are underpinned by football, and in one form or another draws on the opportunities and assets made available to the Foundation through its association with the Club.
The charity, incorporated in 2006, is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Key Management Personnel The Trustees consider the Foundation's Chief Executive and Senior Management team as comprising the "key management personnel" of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running the operation of the charity on a day-to-day basis. The Board of Trustees has a scheme of delegation that identifies the decisionmaking to the executive and that which is retained by the Board.
Senior Management Team:
- Chief Executive Officer — Marc Leckie - Chief Operating Officer — Dayne Matthieu - Finance Manager — Angela Badke - Chief Fundraising & Marketing Officer — Johnny Owens - Head of Programmes (Youth & Community and Education) — Philip Rudling - Head of Programmes (Health and Employment & Skills) — Tara Tewarie
Collaborating with our Stakeholders
In fulfilling its mission, the Foundation drew guidance from its charitable objectives and adhered to the Charity Commission's directives on public benefit. Moreover, it aligned its strategies with the expectations and needs of key external stakeholders, which include the Premier League (PL), the Premier League Charitable Fund (PLCF), People's Postcode Lottery (PPL), regional, sub-regional, and local public and voluntary sectors, as well as other professional football clubs in London through the collective membership known as London United. Additionally, the Foundation considered the aspirations of its direct partners, such as schools, care homes, participants, and their respective communities.
Throughout the fiscal year the Foundation maintained close working relationships with local stakeholders. These partnerships were crucial in ensuring that, collectively, the communities with shared interests and to whom the Foundation aims to bring benefits had access to meaningful and accessible services. These services aimed to assist these communities in navigating prevailing socio-economic challenges and, more broadly, to bolster individual and community resilience.
Relationship with the Club
The Foundation delivers community sports and other charitable activities under the brand of the Club but operates independently of the Club. The Articles of Association confer no ability to the Club to exercise control over the Foundation; Trustees nominated by the Club are required to declare conflicts and excuse themselves from decisions where conflicts are considered to exist.
The Foundation has been granted the right to use the Club's brand symbol and accords with the associated reputation and quality standards of the Club. The Foundation also benefits from a range of services provided by the Club, which supports its administration and infrastructure. It also benefits from access to opportunities, the cocreation of initiatives, marketing, and promotion, and the "on-the-ground" delivery through making available elite and academy players from the men's and women's teams and in talent progression pathways.
The Club provides the Foundation with a gift of kit and all associated costs, including salary of the Chief Executive are covered by the Club, and their services donated to The Foundation.
The remuneration of the Foundation's Chief Executive is subject to review as part of the performance and appraisal processes of the Club.
There is no automatic entitlement to an annual bonus for the Chief Executive or any employee of the Foundation. Nor is there an automatic entitlement to an annual inflation-related salary uplift, although this has typically occurred.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Statement of trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees, who are also the directors of Tottenham Hotspur Foundation for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Auditor
In accordance with the company's articles, a resolution proposing that Xeinadin Audit Limited be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put at a General Meeting.
Disclosure of information to auditor
Each of the trustees has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditor is aware of such information.
The trustees’ report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOUNDATION
Opinion . We have audited the financial statements of Tottenham Hotspur Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of lreland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 June 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Audifor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concem basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
- the directors' report included within the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOUNDATION
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the trustees’ report.
-
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements..
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOUNDATION INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOUNDATION
We design and implement procedures designed to allow us to:
-
Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and the related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to event or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosure in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
- 1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Tottenham Hotspur Foundation is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Percy House, 796 High Road, Tottenham, London, N17 ODH.
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP “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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
- 1.2 Going concern
The Board of Trustees continually monitors the Foundation’s exposure to its principal risks and uncertainties which includes Financial Risks. The Board mitigates the potential for the risk to arise and the potential impact through regular monitoring of the Foundation's finances. The monitoring compares on a cumulative quarterly basis the actual and the forecast financial performance for the year with the planned performance according to the budget. Monitoring also includes the cashflow position and a sensitivity analysis of future funding sources.
As part of the annual budget setting and decision-making process the Board of Trustees considers Going Concern status with the main factors being the sources, nature, and quantum of income to be generated to enable the Foundation to pursue and to achieve the ambitions set out in its strategy. Prudent assumptions are made in setting the annual budget for the year's operations and within the context of a three-year perspective of the potential impact on the Foundation's general reserves.
It is in the above context that the Trustees are of the view that the Foundation has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, being a minimum of eighteen months from the signing of these accounts and, as such, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
1.3. Charitable funds - Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
- 1.4 Income
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA') when the Charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and receipt is probable. The following specific policies apply to categories of income:

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
- 1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Donations are recognised in the SOFA when receivable unless the donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in particular financial accounting periods or the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement, in which case the income is deferred.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Grants related to performance and specific deliverables are accounted for as the Foundation earns the right to consideration by performance. Where income is received in advance of its recognition it is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. Grants which are contributions to existing projects are deferred where there are insufficient costs to allow for drawdown and recognition of income. Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
1.6 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity. Amartisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Software
not amortised as not brought into use by the year-end
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
- Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Short leasehold improvements - straight line over the length of the lease (25 years) Furniture, fittings and equipment - Straight line over 5 years or 10 years The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Assets costing less than £1,000 are immediately expensed to the statement of financial activities.

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
-
1.10 Financial instruments
-
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11 Employee benefits , The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
There are no critical accounting judgments or key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date.

24 ~=Related party transactions
Mr M J Collecott and Ms D Cullen are trustees of the Foundation and are paid directors of Tottenham Hotspur Limited and Tottennam Hotspur Football & Athletic Co. Limited. No trustee received any remuneration or was reimbursed expenses during the year or the previous year.
An agreement is in place between the Foundation and the Club which provides for a level of general support which is impractical to quantify. During the year, the Tottenham Hotspur Limited group was reimbursed from the Foundation for expenses paid on their behalf of £65,851 (2024: £131,480).
During the year, income from Tottenham Hotspur Football and Athletic Co. Limited of £36,000 (2024: £36,000) was recognised by the Foundation.
The Foundation entered a twenty-five-year lease, dated 2 September 2016, with Stardare Limited, a subsidiary of Tottenham Hotspur Limited, for renting Percy House. The initial rent is £5,622 per annum, including VAT.
The Club absorbed costs relating to the Foundation with regard to the cost of the CEO's Salary along with a gifting of Kit for all Foundation staff.
25 Ultimate controlling party
The trustees are the ultimate controlling party of the Foundation. Tottenham Hotspur Limited, in return for granting the Foundation rights to the use of its brand and intellectual property rights, is entitled to appoint up to four trustees (currently two) with the intention that the number of nominated trustees should not be greater than the independent trustees.
