## **SALFORD RED DEVILS FOUNDATION** 

Trustees' Report and Financial Statements For the year ended 30 November 2023 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Review of the year** 

2023 has seen Salford Red Devils Foundation continue to deliver life changing programmes throughout its community whilst continuing to deliver sport, health and wellbeing activities to some of the most deprived areas in the UK. There have been challenges as the heavy reliance on funded bids has seen the overall turnover drop with a manageable deficit shown in this year's accounts. Salford Red Devils Foundation (SRDF) senior management and Trustees remain positive and maintain outstanding working relationships with partners, grant funders, and commissioners. With the return to relative normality in the sport and education sector, covid related funding and bounce back pots are now no longer available, and the organisation is fully focussed on actively seeking new opportunities to achieve the aims and objectives through funded and commercial opportunities. 

SRDF continues to be at the heart of the community with a tireless commitment to ensure that our local residents have access to services that benefit them. As in previous years SRDF has been able to provide Government Funded HAF Camps to residents across Salford ensuring that the most vulnerable are able to access lunch whilst in a managed environment providing activity and wellbeing sessions. 

As is always key, the continued sustainability of the foundation is a focus and to continue delivering the successful programmes new funding and commercial opportunities must be sourced and secured. The foundation remains fully solvent and through prudent financial management the next year is looking positive with exciting collaborations in the pipeline. 

Continued engagement with a bid writing consultant SRDF has been able to maximise opportunities with a good success rate. This year has seen two established members of the team move onto new challenges which has allowed for a new influx of young talent who will become the future of SRDF as the organisation adapts and grows. Coach Core apprenticeship opportunities have again been utilised and the young coaches have been a valued addition to the team. 

After the success in 2022 of the Salford Red Devils run by SRDF, winning their cup competition and successfully gaining promotion to super league 2, this team has been taken under the club's umbrella. Due to the additional requirements in Super league the decision was taken that the team needed a more professional environment, and this has allowed SRDF to focus more on the development of a girl's pathway and introduction of a college ladies team. The female pathway development programme has seen a marked increase in engagement that will hopefully provide the next generation of Salford Red Devils with international honours well within the reach for several of our Girls. 

Dual Development Academy has continued to grow in numbers and has been successful both on and off field. Participants on programme are increasingly successful in forging professional contracts on the back of the outstanding coaches nurturing its youth through enhancing their skills. One previous student is now playing full time in Super league for Leeds Rhinos. Another two students have been able to enter the professional rank's after successfully completing their education with SRDF at Eccles Sixth Form College. The Dual College Pathway has continued to attract a high number of boys into the programme alongside the continuing development of the female pathway which has seen Salford Red Devils compete in several festivals. 

Salford Red Devils Foundation continues to offer services to the most vulnerable in society and has continued to develop and enhance the disability programme delivery. SRDF has been able to increase our offering and has growing teams competing in Physical Disability (PDRL) and Learning Disability (LDSL) competitions. The Wheelchair rugby league team has developed into a large group of participants that will initially play friendlies as and when appropriate. The disability sport element to our delivery is growing exponentially and really does highlight that there is a need locally for activities for participants with disabilities. However it is imperative to source funding and sponsors to sustain the delivery. Enhancing existing and developing new partnerships will hopefully allow the programmes to become fully self-funding ensuring all activities can be delivered free of charge to service users.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)** 

Head of Youth Danny Barton continues to oversee the running of our development pathway and remains involved with the Salford Red Devils reserves team. As part of his continued development Danny has completed the level 4 UKCC coaching course that now puts him alongside some of the highest qualified coaches in the country. A good number of development academy students are regularly involved in the clubs newly established REDS programme for elite players .The club has now regained an Elite Academy Licence, creating an environment of excellence for young players to progress to represent Salford Red Devils in the Super League. 

Foundation Director Neil Blackburn will continue to work closely with the Club, their board and all stakeholders to ensure that aims and objectives are aligned to ensure that the community is best served by the whole organisation. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The financial position is set out in the attached financial statements. 

Cash levels were steady at the year-end but we are not complacent. Successful funding bids have been welcome, but these are never guaranteed. SRDF will continue to engage with a bid writing consultant to ensure that all possible opportunities are explored and secured. The commercial team are actively seeking appropriate community focused funds to support the Foundation. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

2024 will be a year of consolidation for SRDF with exciting opportunities to develop new programmes. In Greater Manchester, after taking control of Manchester Rangers Community Foundation new opportunities are being sought... As an important third sector organisation and one of the local area's premier deliverers in the community reputation for excellence can help develop delivery in new areas as well as in existing territory. 

Funding opportunities are extremely competitive and SRDF needs to continue to be a viable option when sourcing new funds as well as receiving extensions to existing offers. SRDF will continue to utilise partnerships in order to ensure the best possible outcomes for the local community. Joint funding bids will be key to the on-going sustainability for SRDF and working closely with Salford Council looks likely to be important moving forward especially with the upcoming citywide rugby strategy. SRDF is looking to further enhance the schools offering with the introduction of a new school's partner programme as part of the building the future strategy. Schools from across the Greater Manchester area can become partners which will open up the chance for additional paid work. 

Thanks to the success of our current apprentices who have breathed new enthusiasm to the organisation, SRDF will look to take on a new cohort in 2024 to further add to the delivery team. Working with Coach Core we have secured funding for the apprentices who will be fully supported through their education journey whilst being an important part of the 

SRDF will continue building new programmes and funded bids to further enhance current delivery while focusing on its strengths as a provider of health wellbeing, sports and education delivery. Partnering with THE RFL and other Foundations within the sport will give additional funding opportunities. All types of activities will continue being sold into education institutions including but not limited to karate, dance and Gymnastics and wellbeing, with 1-1 Mentoring being introduced. Alongside this there will be a programme of free rugby activities for schools.

Trustees' Report and Financial Statements For the year ended 30 November 2023 

## **FUTURE PLANS (continued)** 

After the 2023 refocus on SRDF core areas of Salford, Manchester and Trafford, there is now an opportunity to look at broadening our reach. A contact with schools in the Stockport area has identified new potential and with joining forces with Manchester Rangers Community Foundation gives a wider workforce opportunity to expand. New activity partners getting the opportunity to continue to engage via attending open access festivals and events in the three core delivery areas has broadened our reach and joining forces with other Coach Core providers such as Nuffield Health has strengthened our brand. Additional new partners will be engaged, and new activities will be delivered in partnership with community clubs to ensure a joined-up approach to local rugby league development that delivers increasing participation numbers. There will also be a continued push in the women and girls' delivery as we look to boost numbers for the super league team while also adding partway activities that provided and equivalent to the existing male pathways delivered by SRDF. 

SRDF will continue to be the community face of Salford Red Devils delivering activities and promoting the Club to the best of its abilities. A new venture will look at the organisations becoming more closely aligned. A renewed focus on increasing participation and promoting match day activities will be key in attempting to increase weekly attendances creating new lifelong fans. SRDF will continue working with the clubs to develop new partnerships and gaining new investment into both organisations targeting specific new funding around Women, PDRL and LDSL teams. SRDF will offer to meet the corporate social responsibilities for club sponsors and any local businesses looking to harness professional sports clubs' power, thus playing an integral role in delivering key local and national wide messages to the local community. Multiple joint funding opportunities will be explored, and the hope is that many new funding streams can be developed for the benefit of both organisations. 

Super league games will remain as a showcase event to invite local community clubs, youth groups and schools to engage with community activities. Match days and the opportunity to use live elite sport to further enhance delivery programmes gives SRDF a unique vantage for engagement. Across the season SRDF will bring in excess of 2,000 spectators to live

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Salford Red Devils Foundation For the year ended 30 November 2023 

I report to the trustees (who are also Directors for the purpose of company law) on my examination of the financial statements of Salford Red Devils Foundation charitable for the year ended 30 November 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and related notes. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of charitable company you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance 

> Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charitable financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 2011 and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a and view and my report is 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in respect of the charitable company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- - the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached. 

## **Use of my report** 

This report is made solely to the trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

## **Tax** 

The Charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

## **SALFORD RED DEVILS FOUNDATION** 

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 November 2023 

## **2 Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £250 are capitalised and included on the Balance Sheet initially at cost, any related grants being shown as restricted fixed asset funds if appropriate, which fund future depreciation of the assets. 

Donated assets are included at an estimated value at the date of acquisition. 

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life as follows: 

Motor vehicles 4 years Office furniture & equipment 3 - 10 years 

## **Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year** 

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. 

## **Fund balances** 

Unrestricted funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity, without restriction, and are available as general funds to be applied as the charity sees fit. 

Restricted funds are to be used for a specific purpose as stipulated by the donor. Expenditure within this criterion is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and administration overheads. 

## **Leases** 

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they accrue. 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
