STRATEGIC REPORT
Flnancial review
Financial position
In summary, during the period the Charity report5 an operating surplus of £73,440 compared to a £53,720
deficit in the previous year.
The financial results and explanatory notes for the year are detailed on pages 21 to 39.
Reserves pollcy
The trustees policy is to hold sufficient reserles {being unrestricted other than fixed assets) to cover four to
six months of annual budgeted expenditure. The reserves are needed in the event of unexpected costs,
reduced funding levels, support cash flow or development of our current principal activities. In order to
enable trustees to monitor the reserves. quarterly reports prepared by the Head of Finance include details
of reserve levels. Monitoring levels of reserves can be a good indicator of the underlying financial health of
the charity and potential problems.
The trustees consider the ideal levels of reserves, on a straight-line expenditure basis, based on a review of
the current year financial statements and the 2024/2025 expenditure budget, as of 31st August 2024
would be between £350,000 and £500,000. The trustees note a need to revisit the policy and consider its
adequacy as we go into our new financial year. The Board has set its priorities, after significant operational
changes in the current year, for increasing the Charity's reserves, and will continue to appraise
opportunities for both short-term and long-term investments.
The total funds stand at £581,895 compared to £508,455 last year. This includes the designated funds of
£IOO,000 that have been set aside for the on-going maintenance and future replacement of the Artificial
Grass Pitch funded primarily by the Premier League Charitable Fund in October 2013. The present reserve
levels therefore fall within the target range.
In summary, trustees are confident that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity
in the event of any significant reduction in funding.

Related partles
The charity has established a wide range of key partners locally and nationally in order to deliver a broad
range of activities. The charity evolved from a 'not for profit, scheme, operating under the banner of
Football in the Community, established in 1987 in partnership with Barnsley Football Club and the
Footballers, Further Education & Vocational Training Scheme (the FFE & vrs) being an organisation funded
by the Professional Footballers, Association).
The English Football League Trust and Premier League Charitable Fund have continued to provide national
support and guidance whilst administering core and project funding following compliance of the annual
Capability Code of Practice assessment. The English Football League Trust and Premier League Charitable
Fund are national football charities that unite the inspirational work delivered across England and Wales by
its network of professional football club-based charities. We are grateful for the continued support of
Barnsley Football Club and its, playing staff who in partnership with the Professional Footballers
Association have Ereatly increased the reach and impact of our work.
The charity is an independent organisation registered as both a company limited by guarantee and a
registered charity, with governance provided by the board of trustees. It has a twenty six year connection
with Barnsley Football Club, delivering community and charitable activities on their behalf. However, it
operates independently of the Football Club and although one of the charity's trustees are representatives
of Barnsley Football Club, this is balanced by the presence of independent trustees on the board. This
remains fundamental to the overall success and sustainability of the charity. The charity must continue to
demonstrate added value in the work we deliver with a view to remaining front and centre to Barnsley
Football Clubs, long-term Corporate Social Responsibility strategy. The key driver in this relationship is
harnessing the ability of sport and the Barnsley Football Club brand to engage and improve the lives of local

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF
BARNSLEY FC COMMUNITY TRUST LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Barnsley FC Community Trust Limited (the 'charitable
company,) for the year ended 31 August 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the
Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies. The financi31 reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation
is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice}.
In our opinion the financial 5tatementS:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 August 2024 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 Auditor
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the
charitable company 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 concern 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 charitable company'5 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF
BARNSLEY FC COMMUNITY TRUST LIMITED
Other Information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent
Auditor thereon.
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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other informatFon
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in 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 themselve5. 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.
Oplnlons on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit..
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial
statement5 are prepared 15 consistent with the financial statements; and
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are requlred to report by exceptlon
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained
in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the
directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl 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 charitable company'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.
Page 18

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF
BARNSLEY FC COMMUNITY TRUST LIMITED
Our responslbllltles for the audit of the financfial 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 a Report of the Independent
Auditor 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. Misstatement5 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:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the
industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the charity that were contrary to applicable
laws and regulations, including fraud. We design audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that
the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional
misrepresentations, or through collusion.
We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial
statements, including, but not limited to the Charity SORP and UK tax legislation, Our tests included
agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with
management.we did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all
our audits. we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing
journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of
material misstatement due to fraud.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities,
including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with
regulation. The risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation 15 removed from the
events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of
instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather
than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgeryi collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our re5pon5ibilitie5 for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms
part of our Report of the Independent Auditor.
