REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MAY 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the charity according to the Memorandum of Association are as follows:
1) To promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for the playing of association football and other sports capable of improving health.
2) To provide and assist in providing facilities for sport, recreation or other leisure time occupation of such persons who have need for such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving conditions of life.
3) To advance the education of children and young people through such means as the trustees think fit in accordance with the law of the charity.
The charity seeks to achieve these objectives and provide public benefit by providing football coaching courses and events, and by working closely with local schools in the provision of after school and holiday club facilities at a cost which renders them accessible to the local community.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MAY 2022
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Review of Activities and Achievements
This year saw a very welcome return to in person activity for many of our programmes, as we began to work back towards normality following the effects of the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns and restrictions. All our work was in line with our new strategic plan for 2021 - 2024, 'Rebuilding Our Capacity & Reconnecting Our Communities'.
The football club's performances on the pitch, first of all securing Championship status and then reaching the playoffs, assisted with raising the profile of the trust and increased the appetite for local young people to take part in the game. A great example of this was though our summer holiday camps, with nearly 2000 children attending 40 camps over the summer holidays. The traditionally quieter weeks towards the end of August were still well attended, perhaps as a result of fewer families travelling abroad for holidays but also due to young people being keen to make up for lost time and get back to the game they love.
Continued funding from the Premier League Charitable Foundation (PLCF) allowed us to continue our Primary Stars programme. The project continues to support the development of PE delivery staff in schools to enhance school sport delivery to pupils. The Primary Stars programme includes literacy and numeracy double sports clubs to schools as well as mentoring programmes for pupils at risk of exclusion from full time education. There is still an extremely high demand from schools for this service, as we work back towards pre-pandemic levels. We continued to see our Healthy Hatters programme grow, with 10 schools buying in the 6 week health programme for their Year 5 classes. Adhoc after school club were also well up on the previous year.
Our coaching and development centres were able to return to normality, following a long period of disruption. Pleasingly, we were also able to restart our annual trips to Stowe and Holland for our Development squads.
Our EFL Trust funded Fit Hatters programme returned to Kenilworth Road, as we continued to run female and male cohorts, helping 35 - 65 year olds take positive steps to live healthier lives. We were also able to run our first mixed cohort with support from Active Luton.
We finally saw a return to our disability football sessions, with many of our participants returning for the first time since the very start of the pandemic. Numbers were low to begin with but slowly returned to pre-pandemic levels as confidence amongst participants grew and restrictions were relaxed.
The trust's post-16 BTEC programme continued to go from strength to strength with the first female cohort joining the already established male programme. The full-time education programme combines a sports qualification alongside a football training and fixtures programme, as well as support in other educational areas. In addition, 30 of these students successfully completed the National Citizenship Service (NCS) programme that we ran for the first time in many years, attracting a new revenue stream from EFL Trust and offering these young people valuable life skills and opportunities to boost their self-confidence by overcoming challenges. The trust also began recruitment for a summer '22 NCS cohort.
The Trust also continues to receive funding from the PLCF to run 4 weekly community cohesion projects for young people defined as 'hard to reach' or 'disengaged' as part of the national PL KICKS project. These sessions continue to break down barriers within the local community and to help dilute anti-social behaviour. These targeted sessions can attract up to 60 young people per night.
A new area of funding for the trust was through our 12 week mentoring programme. We partnered with Luton Central Mosque to identify 10 young people from the under represented South Asian community, to deliver a football coaching programme and qualification. A similar mentoring programme was run for a cohort of Year 8 pupils from Lea Manor High School.
The trust was able to secure funding from Beds and Luton Community Foundation's Luton Youth Fund to setup a youth club at Future's House in Marsh Farm. This offered a much needed facility for local youngsters to socialise in a safe environment. Such provision hadn't existed in the local area since the closure of the council run youth club, but with an increasing number of young people in the area becoming involved in anti-social behaviour, it was a much welcomed service.
FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MAY 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The charity is principally funded from coaching income, supplemented by grants and donations.
How these resources support the key objectives of the charity is detailed above in the 'Achievements and Performance' section of the report of the trustees.
Reserves policy
The trustees review the reserves policy on a regular basis to ensure that reserves are maintained at a level that is consistent with the charity having sufficient funds to operate at its planned activity levels taking into account the various financial risk factors that have been identified.
It is intended that the charity will currently operate with reserves at a level that equates to at least three months operating costs and a contingency fund has been set up for this purpose. This level of Reserves has been maintained throughout the year. The Trustees are mindful that a sustainable long term future at its Ely Way site is unlikely and therefore the Trust is exploring options to move its operations to an alternative location. Initial estimates are that such a project will require significant funds and as such a Designated fund has been established with the intention that it will over time provide the financial resources necessary to facilitate a relocation. During the year £50,000 has been allocated to this fund. The balances in unrestricted funds and the restricted funds as at the year ended 31 May 2022 are £332,720 and £27,500 respectively (2021: £244,447 and £59,250).
Going concern
The trustees have considered the financial health of the charity and are confident that at the date of signing, will continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
FUTURE PLANS
As we head into a post pandemic future, our new strategy 'Reconnecting Communities' 2021-2024' outlines how we will recover and how we are going to help people to overcome social challenges over the next four years and beyond. The diverse nature of our work often brings us into contact with those on the edge of society or those who are disengaged, lonely, live in poverty or live with a disability. The pandemic will unquestionably have accentuated social divides and widened inequality.
It still remains the aim of the Trust to continue to seek and secure funding and grant opportunities to fulfil its aim of providing inclusive sports activities at affordable prices to the local community, provide educational courses to help young people and unemployed adults to increase employment opportunity and to provide activities to both children and adults that have a positive impact on both health and community cohesion.

Each trustee is given a copy of the Charity Commission's guidance "The Essential Trustee: What You Need to Know" and receives governance training.

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The key business risks affecting the charity relate to its funding sources, operational financial risks and project risks. The Board of Trustees and senior executives review the risks of the charitable company on a regular basis and have implemented policies and procedures to mitigate exposure to these risks, to ensure compliance with health and safety standards for staff and scheme participators and to ensure that that all regulations regarding the management and contact with children are adhered too. In addition, a review of all financial risks is undertaken on a regular basis.
The Trust is confident that major risks to which it may be exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.

The Trust have also conducted suitable and sufficient Covid-19 risk assessment to the financial health of the charity in full consultation with the Board of Trustees.

The Trustee Governance Sub-Committee meets regularly to receive updated financial reports and projections from the Head of Trust and to approve future expenditure. Our aim is to reduce the risk to the charity by introducing stringent control measures to mitigate risk and ensure the Trust's solvency is protected.
