The club remains committed to delivering exciting, safe, and innovative projects that leave a lasting legacy for all people who participate. The year has seen the refocus of the four key delivery pillars being Education, Health and Physical Activity, Community and Social Inclusion and Play Rugby League.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. - 2 - **HULL FC RUGBY COMMUNITY SPORTS & EDUCATION FOUNDATION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_ ## **Achievement and Performance** ## **Introduction** Hull FC Community Foundation is the independent charitable arm of rugby league club Hull FC. Established in 2006, the Foundation uses the power of sport and strong local influence of the professional side to make the biggest difference possible in the community through the delivery of needs led projects targeting four agendas: Sports and Physical Activity, Education and Employability, Health and Wellbeing, and Social Inclusion. All projects are underpinned by our values of _Challenge, Compassion, Determination, Honesty, and Respect._ Our mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of children, young people and adults through participation in sports and physical activity and to raise the aspirations and skills of young people and adults through our learning and training programmes. We adopt a pro-active approach towards working in partnership with public, private and third sector organisations who share our ethos for the role sport can play in addressing inequality. Our strategic partnership with Hull Clinical Commissioning Group ensures that all projects deliver health and wellbeing outcomes, with a focus on tackling obesity, mental health, and loneliness. Annually, over 10,000 people engage in our programmes across the Hull and East Yorkshire region. This ranges from mass participation events within schools to focus one to one support with people going through crisis. All activities are led by a passionate, hard-working team comprising fourteen professionally qualified coaches and tutors. From a strategic perspective, our work is overseen by a dedicated group of independent Trustees, each of whom brings a skill set to the Board relevant to our three year strategy. Our ‘Participant Voice Network’ brings together people with lived experience of the issues we seek to tackle. At the heart of our organisation is an understanding of the vital role that sport can play in engaging, educating and inspiring people of all ages and abilities. ## **Key Programmes of 2022** Holiday Activity Clubs: During the previous year, the Foundation has continued as a strategic partner with Hull City Council and East Riding Council for delivery of the Holiday Activity Fund Programme. The holiday programme has been delivered across the Easter, Summer, and Winter holiday periods in 2022 from school, community, and community rugby league venues across Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. Engaging over 2,000 children aged 5 to 16, a typical four-hour session comprises of high quality sports and physical activity, Sports Inspired’ literacy and numeracy activities including being a rugby league journalist interviewing Hull FC players and writing creative stories and match reports and continuing to involve participants in supported food preparation and cooking where possible at delivery sites. In addition, every participant that has attended a session has been provided with a nutritious lunch. Energise Clubs: Clubs were established following the pandemic in 2021 with an aim of creating safe, inclusive places for children and their parents and carers to come together and engage in healthy activities. Having originally being co-created with children from the Foundation’s ‘Partner Schools’ programme, these ninetyminute sessions fuse forty-five minutes of multi-sport activities with forty-five minutes of learning and personal development activity. Provision prioritises three core objectives: (1) To tackle increasing prevalence of obesity within ‘Club’ delivery areas; (2) To equip participants with the skills to lead more mentally resilient and emotional lives; (3) To empower participants to form healthy social relationships with their peers (tackling loneliness and social isolation). Over the last year, the Foundation has delivered two ‘Energise Club’ sessions from the Hull FC Youth and Community Centre (HU4) and Steve Prescott Centre (HU5) which collectively engaged 147 participants aged 5 – 11 and 32 parents and carers. From a child perspective, multi-sport included rugby league, football, basketball, netball, tennis, and gym and fitness which all incorporated skill development and competitive playing opportunities, with parents invited to engage in their own instructor-led fitness sessions. - 3 - **HULL FC RUGBY COMMUNITY SPORTS & EDUCATION FOUNDATION** **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_ Whilst the participation opportunity was designed to be fun, get participants active, and build social relationships, it equally empowered them with better mood and mindset ahead of more learning centric exercise that prioritised improving knowledge of healthy lifestyles and fundamentally instilling positive aspirations for the future. Such activities included group cooking sessions, art and craft, mindfulness, digital literacy (via quizzes), and those more literacy based e.g. healthy eating worksheets. Unite’: With a clear ethos of empowering women of all ages to come together and participate in activities that support their physical and mental wellbeing, the ‘Unite’ project supported 108 participants in 2022/23 from its ‘Hub’ sites at Hull FC Youth and Community Centre and County Road South. With a focus on delivering an inclusive project that tackles known socio-economic inequalities e.g. high rates of physical inactivity, smoking prevalence, and mental ill-health, the ninety-minute sessions fuse one-hour of physical activity with thirtyminutes of group activity that prioritises friendships, healthy lifestyle behaviour change, and improving awareness of wider activities in the community. With a firm commitment to a participant-led approach, our participants are empowered to choose what type of physical activity they want to take part in each session. Whilst gym-based exercises have been the most popular, instructors have also led activities based around boxing, community walks (taking in green spaces and parks), and netball. Sessions have consistently been moderate to high intensity and underpinned by a focus on being fun and enjoyable with an aim of supporting long term adoption of physical activity. Whilst the physical activity element has been most valuable in raising awareness of its role within a healthy lifestyle, the group activity at the end of each session has solidified the participants as a social network who provide support to each other. Activities have ranged from those wellbeing centric such as mental resilience, smoking cessation, and gambling related alongside those based around new experiences e.g. art, cooking, and yoga. Given the success of the ‘Unite’ programme, the Foundation has welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with partners including Sirius Academy West and The Warren to pilot ‘Unite Girls’ during the delivery year, an initiative inspired by the adult sessions with an aim of achieving outcomes related to self-esteem, confidence, and aspirations. ‘Match Fit’: Following from the success of ‘Unite’ in 2021/22, the Foundation completed a through need assessment with local partners to shape a new project centred on supporting local men. This process highlighted a real challenge with physical inactivity (particularly in the more deprived areas of the city) with wider research showing its association with respiratory, coronary heart disease, and cancers in older age. Given the brand power of Hull FC in the West and North of the city, ‘Match Fit’ was created with a focus on supporting inactive men aged 35+ to take part in regular physical activity. Similar to ‘Unite’, two weekly ninetyminute sessions were delivered from ‘Hubs’ at Hull FC Youth and Community Centre and County Road South which focused on one-hour of sport and physical activity and thirty-minutes of health improve workshops exploring lifestyles, nutrition, and mental health. Over the first year of the project, 82 previously inactive men took their first steps into regular activity, with the Foundation supporting pathways into wider work readiness, volunteering, and core sport provision. ‘Our Best Years’: With a focus on supporting older residents to lead healthier, active, more resilient lives, ‘Our Best Years’ has continued offering weekly sessions having originally launched in 2021. ‘Hub’ provision from County Road and West Garth have supported 180 participants over the year, with the Foundation collaborating with partners including Pickering and Feren’s Homes, Age UK Hull, and the Older People’s Partnership to reach those particularly vulnerable e.g. due to being recently bereaved, living alone, or having a long-term health condition. With activity choices led by the participants, provision has included chair based physical activity, light circuits incorporating stretching (with a focus on fall prevention), walks in the local community, and team games such as boccia and tai-chi. Instructors have also led activities promoting communication, self-esteem, and resilience, including quizzes, games, and practical activities such as arts and craft and cooking-on-a-budget. - 4 - **HULL FC RUGBY COMMUNITY SPORTS & EDUCATION FOUNDATION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_ One of the biggest challenges affecting the older community over the last year has been the cost-of-living crisis, with the Foundation using the engagement with ‘Our Best Years’ to help equip those particularly vulnerable with the skills to cope e.g. through adopting energy efficiency measures at home, using ‘Our Best Years’ as a ‘warm space’. Equally important has been improving awareness of the support available either in the community e.g. through Citizens Advice and supporting them to access available grants through Hull City Council or their energy companies. Part of the Team: Funded by the Armed Forces Covenant Trust Fund, Part of the Team’ offered targeted personal development, social, and wellbeing activities for members of the armed forces and veteran’s community who are living with loneliness. Daily in-person and virtual sessions offered had a significant impact on beneficiaries, particularly improving emotional resilience and healthy lifestyles, whilst tackling determinants of loneliness including poverty, unemployment and health conditions. ## **Our Impact** During the 2022 delivery year, 12,893 local residents engaged in activity delivered through Hull FC Community Foundation. As in previous years, financial support from various funding organisations has enabled the delivery of new, targeted, high impact provision for those most vulnerable to poor life outcomes combining such delivery with the core interventions. The key outcomes and impact during 2022 are: - 12,893 participants engaged across all programmes delivered by Hull FC Community Foundation. - 93% of child participants reported improved understanding of healthy eating. - 82% of participants reported better mental health from accessing Hull FC Community Foundation activity. - 92% of participants reported an increase in participation in physical activity. - 88% of participants had a greater knowledge of local community activities. - 83% of participants reported reduced feelings of loneliness and/or isolation. - 91% of participants developed a new social friendship. - 88% of parents reported an overall increase in family physical activity. - - 98% of families reported improved access to healthy lifestyle information. ## **Our Case Studies** Brian, Age 83 attends the weekly coffee morning and cook house sessions, as well as volunteering on a match day at Hull FC fixtures. Upon meeting Brian, we learned the he had been extremely affected by the Covid pandemic. Like a lot of people he found himself isolated during the pandemic and sadly lost his wife to Covid-19 after a short stay in hospital. Brian found out about the programme ‘Part of the Team’ through our partnership work with the Armed Forces Community Hub in Hull. The coffee mornings were Brian’s initial engagement with the Foundation as these give him an opportunity to get out the house again and chat/share stories with other ex-military personnel. The sessions have boosted Brian’s confidence and because of the weekly coffee mornings Brian has made new friends who he meets with outside of the coffee morning. Alongside the coffee mornings, Brian’s love for food (a former cook in the army) helped engage him into our Cook House sessions. Here, Brian has supported our project coordinator, gained his Level 2 in Food Hygiene, and has taken the lead on the project designing menus each week and encouraging other veterans to get involved. Brian said, “My whole world changed when I lost my wife, so I started attending the veteran’s coffee mornings every Wednesday which has really helped me with my mental health. I guess it fills a gap in my life. Without the veteran’s coffee mornings I’d be sat about at home doing nothing. Its good to speak to other veterans and hear their stories, I’ve made new friends at the coffee morning and its now one of the highlights of my week. Cookhouse has been great and I can’t thank the Foundation enough for the support they have given me to be involved. - 5 - **HULL FC RUGBY COMMUNITY SPORTS & EDUCATION FOUNDATION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_ I love cooking, and updating my qualifications has been good too. I even cooked for some of the players which was great. I love being able to plan menus, teach other veterans to cook and also feel great seeing some people take food away from the sessions and knowing they will be having a good meal that night. I’m so happy the Hull FC can continue this programme”. C: 17, his Story, in his words: ‘At the age of 17, my Mum kicked me out of home. I had left school with no qualifications and I hadn’t been able to find a job. I was in no position to give her money for food or rent and I ended up moving into a hostel. About a month later I received a phone call saying that I wasn’t allowed back home. It wasn’t a nice feeling, I felt rough and wanted to give up. I blamed myself and started to lose everything. Just to know my own Mum didn’t want me wasn’t a nice feeling and I found myself becoming depressed. I found myself keeping away from everyone. I didn’t want anyone to know. It didn’t feel right living with strangers, and I realised I had no one. That really dragged me down, knowing I had no one who cared about me and that I’m on my own was not a nice feeling at all. Game Plan has been life changing for me. It has helped me boost my confidence and lift me up a little bit. They helped me develop life skills and supported me in putting what I have learned in lessons into practice through applying for jobs. I have found part time work alongside college work. ## **Financial review** ## **Principal funding sources** The Principle Funding Sources for the Foundation are Hull CCG, Armed forces covenant, main grants and various other grant making bodies. ## **Investment policy and objectives** The charity ensures a small amount is held in reserves whilst the majority of funds are spent in the short term. It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The Trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will beable to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. ## **Future Plans** Whilst engagement during 2021 has been crucial throughout lockdown periods, a priority in 2022 is sustaining participation through adapting and improving the new holistic services the Foundation offers to support long term recovery and positive progression. Participant levels as we move into 2022 were the highest ever for the Foundation. The impact data we have obtained to date from new participants leaves us empowered to further develop our interventions to maximise life outcomes for those with complex needs. - 6 - **HULL FC RUGBY COMMUNITY SPORTS & EDUCATION FOUNDATION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_ ## **Structure, governance and management** The charity is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 24th May 2006 (company number 5826791) and registered as a charity on 7th March 2007 (registered number 1118258).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. ## **1.2 Going concern** At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors 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.

If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes. ## **1.5 Resources expended** Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required insettlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. ## **1.6 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: |Leasehold improvements|10% on cost| |---|---| |Plant and equipment|20% on cost| |Computers|20% on cost| 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 net income/(expenditure) for the year. ## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible 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). Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. ## **1.8 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. - 14 - **HULL FC RUGBY COMMUNITY SPORTS & EDUCATION FOUNDATION** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **(Continued)** ## **1.9 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. ## **1.10 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. ## **1.11 Retirement benefits** Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. - 15 - **HULL FC RUGBY COMMUNITY SPORTS & EDUCATION FOUNDATION** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_ ## **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. ## **3 Donations and legacies** |**Unrestricted**
