Structure, governance and management (continued)
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The directors of the company are also charity trustees and are known as the management executive. All members of the management executive give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Trustee appointments are ratified at the charity's annual general meeting.
The ethos of the club - to give every person the opportunity - is key to the charity's decision making in this field and the charity looks to ensure representation of all groups. To ensure this broad mix of representation continues individuals are approached to offer themselves for election to the management executive.
Policies and Procedures for the Induction and Training of New Trustees Most new trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity. All trustees receive training regarding the running of the organisation to ensure such familiarisation and the context to which the charity works. Trustees continue to receive input from the Gateshead Voluntary Organisations Council (GVOC) regarding management executive obligations, the operational framework with which the charity operates, resourcing, finance and future plans and objectives.
Organisational structure
The charity is governed by an executive management committee of up to nine Trustees who oversee the running of the organisation and receive regular reports from the management structure. The day-to-day running of the facility is left in the hands of the Club Secretary (responsible for all football matters) and the Clubhouse Manager (responsible for the running of the new clubhouse facility).
As the charity progresses, full and part-time workers have been employed to ensure a professional outlook, though the majority of those involved in the running of the club are volunteers. In total the organisation had eight employees, most of them part-time apart from the Clubhouse Manager who works 40 hours per week. Rutherford AFC employs the groundsman and funds his wage and this year included the wage of the Awards For All project worker. Our trading arm supports the charity by employing and paying the wages of the other six staff members.
Objectives and activities
Purpose and aims
The charity's purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company's memorandum of association are:
"The promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of those, primarily but not limited to, living within Gateshead and surrounding areas, by the provision of facilities for the playing of football and other sports and related activities; and To educate and raise awareness of people living primarily but not limited to Gateshead and surrounding areas, regarding health and fitness designed to improve conditions of life"
The charity's objectives include the provision of association football and other social and recreational activities for its members. Rutherford AFC is particularly proud of its 'all-inclusive' policy which sets it differently to other clubs in the area.
Ensuring our work delivers our aims
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we have achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months (April 2021 to March 2022). The Trustees meet regularly and receive reports from the Operations and Clubhouse Managers at each meeting.

Objectives and activities (continued)
The focus of our work
The Rutherford Association Football club (the charity) focus is to promote personal, wellbeing and social development by providing an inclusive environment through the platform of Football. We do this by having a very clear ethos that everyone is welcome to participate in our activities. Regardless of age, gender, ability, disability or religious beliefs.
The development of the charities beneficiaries is the key to our growth and success as we heavily rely on volunteers to support our work. We have longstanding volunteers who now support our strategic vision and members of our board of trustees. We support volunteers by offering opportunities to participate in sporting activities, gaining new skills and support on gaining qualifications that will support their personal development.
We see football as the vehicle for this individual development and our succession planning is in having the youth of today as our peers for the future. With the introduction of further sports and holiday hunger activities through school holidays we aim to extend this view and give further opportunities for the community to get involved within a sport.
The charity has a long-standing football academy which encompasses coaching across a wide variety of age groups. Our core objectives remains the provision of football opportunities for all with grassroots and recreational teams at all levels. This starts with our "Soccer Tots" sessions for 4 and 5 year olds, which have seen a steady growth in numbers of attendees. In addition to that we have boys and girls teams from the ages of 7 through to under 23's, a senior section that includes two senior men's teams, an over 40's team and a senior women's team. The senior teams complete the playing pathway and provide players with the ability to progress to a new level and a route into senior football which keeps them involved with the club.
We support other "none football" community groups which includes keep fit classes, local Brownies, Rainbow group, coffee mornings, book swap club, ramblers association. Our holiday hunger provision in partnership with Gateshead Council and DFE has seen over 100 families that are eligible for free school meals access fun, engaging and safe activities as well as providing the children with a balanced lunch and fruit to take home with them.
The charity provides the vehicle for all interested parties to either play or become involved. What is the key to our aims is the promotion of players from the youth system into the senior teams. It has been clear for several years that many youth players are lost to the game when they reach adult age as other junior clubs have no exit policy for these players. Our objectives remain to promote these players into the senior squads, thus reducing the number of young players leaving the sport.
As well as extending playing opportunities the charity continues to develop its own bank of volunteers, with all coaches and administrative volunteer roles as the club filled as a result of developing our beneficiaries. In addition we have links with local colleges and Universities and we now have a number of students on volunteer placements in areas such as coaching, sports therapy, etc. This is an ongoing programme and features new volunteers every year.
Our junior membership continues to increase year on year seeing several teams at most mini soccer age groups. All of our activities have the common aim of encouraging people of all ages, sex, race and creed to engage in sporting activities of all kinds to improve their quality of life.

Objectives and activities (continued)
Public benefit
The charity has an 'open door' policy. Irrespective of age or ability any person who wishes to participate in our activities can have access to the facility. The club is accessible to all, with all coaches and volunteers fully qualified in their appropriate field.
The charity is the only club in the Borough of Gateshead to give football opportunities to boys, girls, men and women. The third-generation floodlit training facility has been recognised to ensure that maximum usage continues involving club training and community bookings. We now have several community bookings throughout the year who 'block book' the court, thus providing members of the community outside the club to participate in association football. As a result income generation has significantly increased.
Achievements and performance
Achievements and performance
The charity measures it's achievements not only by the number of our beneficiaries. But the life changes we see in them. This year we developed an inclusive "footability" community session which gives those with a SEN or disability a platform to play football. As a result we have created two disability affiliated junior football teams which will compete. Typically children with a SEN or disability are unable to participate in competitive football. However, due to our ethos the families feel welcomed and part of our "family". This project has also promoted young adults with a disability to express an interest in coaching and supporting our project.
As it did for other charities Covid-19 played a damaging factor to our growth and strategic plans. However, the charity supported our community with food packages for those most in need such as nursing homes. We did average welfare check ins via social platforms to our beneficiaries and supported those who were deemed as vulnerable and attending school or alternative provisions with a safe space to do PE on our training facility.
Financial review
Principal funding sources
Grant applications are a key area of funding for the organisation. However, the charity are now accepting personal donations and gift aid donation to support our work. The major source of income however is the business arm of the Charity, Farnacres Ltd, which continues to grow and support the key objectives of the Charity.
Reserves policy
The Trustees are to maintain a policy of retaining sufficient reserves to cover any contingency purposes. Generally reserves will be around the figure of running costs for three months. Reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the management committee are confident that they can ensure the continuation of the current activities of the charity in the event of a drop in funding. The charity has identified a number of potential funding sources to assist with the building up of reserves. These sources are being targeted this year in conjunction with a strategy of building reserves through planned operating surpluses.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
| Freehold property | - | 20% on cost and 2% on cost |
|---|---|---|
| Plant and machinery | - | 20% on cost |

Investments
Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.
Investments in associates
Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost
less any accumulated impairment losses.
Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted.
Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the associate arising before or after the date of acquisition.
Investments in joint ventures
Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted.
Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the joint venture arising before or after the date of acquisition.
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Impairment of fixed assets (continued)
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
