SEVENOAKS TOWN FC LIMITED

Trustees' Report

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements independant examiner's report of the charitable company for the year ended 30 June 2025.

Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

The charity's objectives are

Sevenoaks Town FC Limited will promote the health and moral welfare of young people. We will do this by the provision of facilities and activities that provide a safe and supportive environment in which young people are encouraged to develop their skills. We will also place an emphasis on involvement with the community, enabling and encouraging young people to take active and responsible roles in their local community.

Public benefit

The activities undertaken to further public benefit are the advancement of amateur sport and associated education.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievements and performance

Chairman's report

The club’s 3G pitch will commence its ninth season in July 2025. With an average life expectancy of approximately ten years, the Board has been planning prudently for its eventual replacement. Through careful management of usage and the strict controls currently in place, we are hopeful of extending the life of the surface through to the end of the 2028/29 season. Achieving this will require continued discipline in monitoring playing hours, alongside rigorous maintenance and adherence to our usage policies.

SEVENOAKS TOWN FC LIMITED

Trustees' Report

The estimated cost of replacing the 3G surface remains circa £280,000. As at 30th June 2025, the club’s 3G replacement reserve stood at £68,000. While this represents meaningful progress, it also highlights the importance of continued financial planning to ensure the club is in a strong position when replacement becomes necessary.

Sevenoaks Town FC continues to deliver its “Football for All” policy across the Sevenoaks area, providing teams and coaching in a safe and inclusive environment for players aged four and above.

During the 2024/25 season, we operated eight senior teams, including:

In addition, the club supported 58 youth teams competing across the Maidstone Primary Invicta League, Crowborough & District Junior Football League, Tandridge League, Kent Youth League, and Kent Girls & Ladies League.

A central objective of the club remains the provision of a clear pathway from youth football into the senior game. This long-term strategy strengthens the foundations of football within the town and ensures opportunities for both young players and senior participants for many years to come. Our ambition is to see homegrown talent progress through the age groups and, where possible, move into senior football at Sevenoaks Town FC.

During the season, the club invested in new LED floodlights. While this represented a significant capital outlay, the investment is expected to be recovered over time through reduced electricity costs. In addition, the upgrade delivers environmental benefits through improved energy efficiency.

We have also received confirmation that the Football Foundation has awarded a grant of £787,500 towards the development of the new Community and Sports Pavilion, bringing total secured funding for the project to £1,784,100. This represents a major milestone in the club’s long-term development plans.

Finally, and most importantly, I wish to acknowledge our volunteers and external coaches, who number more than 250. The club simply could not function without their dedication and commitment. Great credit must be given to our managers, coaches and volunteers who undertake the countless tasks necessary to ensure the smooth running and continued success of the club.

In particular, the administrative responsibilities placed upon our teams are both onerous and time-consuming, with detailed FA and league requirements that must be met. The commitment shown in fulfilling these obligations should not be underestimated.

It is therefore disappointing that, despite the enormous number of volunteer hours given freely, some of our managers, coaches and volunteers continue to face criticism. I urge everyone connected with the club to take a moment to thank our volunteers and recognise their efforts. Without them, we do not have a club.

The reality is that there is far more within this club that unites us than divides us. By working together, we will continue to build a strong and sustainable future for Sevenoaks Town FC.

SEVENOAKS TOWN FC LIMITED

Trustees' Report

Trustees' report

The Trustees are pleased to present their report for the year ended 30 June 2025.

Sevenoaks Town FC is proud to remain part of an elite group of clubs nationwide to hold the Football Association’s highest participation status - FA Accreditation Three Star. This prestigious accreditation was reconfirmed in 2024 following a detailed audit undertaken by Kent FA and reflects the continued strength of the club’s governance, safeguarding standards, coaching quality and community engagement.

Our facilities at Greatness Park remain central to the club’s long-term strategy. The investment made in the 3G pitch continues to be a significant success, enhancing playing opportunities across all age groups and supporting the delivery of inclusive, year-round football within the community. The facility plays a vital role in underpinning the club’s charitable aims and objectives.

The club remains vibrant and continues to grow. We are grateful for the ongoing support of local partners and for access to additional venues used for matches and training, including Seal Recreation Ground, Sevenoaks School and Trinity School. These partnerships are essential in enabling the scale of football provision delivered by the club.

Our Football in the Community Scheme, incorporating Skills School and Wildcats, continues to develop strongly. The programme is designed to:

The scheme also provides valuable opportunities for youth players to develop coaching and leadership skills under the supervision of qualified coaches, helping to build the next generation of volunteers and leaders within the club.

During the 2024/25 season the Club:

• Provided sporting opportunities for approximately 1,000 boys and girls, including continued growth in girls’ participation

• Undertook an operational review with an FA consultant to strengthen governance and long-term sustainability

• Worked closely with local community organisations including Sevenoaks Samaritans and West Kent Mind

The Trustees continue to actively pursue the development of a new, fit-for-purpose clubhouse at Greatness Park to enhance sports provision for the local community. Planning permission was granted on 30 September 2021, subject to a number of conditions including requirements from the Environment Agency. All conditions have now been satisfied.

Following successful Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) applications, the club was awarded £787,500 together with a further £87,500 from Sevenoaks Town Council in December 2023. In addition, we have now secured a grant of £757,500 from the Football Foundation as part of the overall funding package for the project. These awards represent a significant milestone in progressing the pavilion development.

The charity’s reserves policy is to maintain a minimum unrestricted reserve of £20,000 as an operational contingency fund. This provides financial resilience against unforeseen events such as vandalism, facility damage or unexpected income shortfalls.

SEVENOAKS TOWN FC LIMITED

Trustees' Report

The Trustees aim to contribute up to £20,000 per annum into a sinking fund for the future replacement of the 3G pitch. However, during the current financial year increased operating costs and expenditure associated with the new pavilion project have made it impossible to add to this fund. The estimated replacement cost of the 3G surface after 8-10 years of use is now approximately £280,000, compared with the original estimate of £180,000. This increase reflects significant global rises in raw material, manufacturing and labour costs.

The Trustees remain committed to prudent financial management, long-term sustainability and continued investment in facilities and programmes that benefit both the club and the wider Sevenoaks community.

Financial Review

Treasurer's report

I am pleased to report that Sevenoaks Town FC Limited continues to operate on a sound financial footing.

The Committee remains mindful of ongoing economic pressures and rising operating costs. Our objective continues to be to keep membership and football affordable, deliver value for money to our members, and at the same time safeguard the long-term financial stability of the Club.

Following changes to the Club’s legal constitution eight years ago, the accounts are prepared for the whole football club. Operationally, the Club continues to be managed on a sectional basis encompassing Seniors, Facilities, and Main (youth and general income and costs), although the annual financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis.

Income and expenditure

Total income for the year amounted to £460,240 (2023/24: £510,959) Income from donations and legacies totalled £428,512 (2023/24: £475,871), reflecting the continued commitment and generosity of members and supporters.

Donations and membership-related income remain strong, demonstrating sustained demand to support and participate in the Club’s activities. Gift Aid reclaimed during the year totalled £34,705 (2023/24: £33,136), reinforcing the value of the Club’s charitable status.

The Club remains extremely grateful for the ongoing sponsorship received from local businesses and parents. Sponsorship and regular giving totalled £25,999 (2023/24: £36,481) Other income, primarily clubhouse takings, totalled £31,728 (2023/24: £35,088).

Total expenditure for the year was £431,812 (2023/24: £510,787) , of which charitable activity costs amounted to £433,918 (2023/24: £512,100). These costs include pitch hire, coaching, facilities charges, equipment, matchday costs and depreciation

3G Pitch and Fixed Assets

The 3G pitch and stadium development continue to represent the flagship assets of the Club. Tangible fixed assets increased to £250,378 (2024: £212,046), reflecting further investment during the year, including additions of £70,225. Depreciation charged during the year totalled £31,893.

SEVENOAKS TOWN FC LIMITED

Trustees' Report

Surplus and Reserves

The Club generated a net surplus of £28,428 for the year (2023/24: £172). As a result, total unrestricted funds increased to £279,550 at 30 June 2025 (2024: £251,122).

Cash at bank at the year end stood at £72,002 (2023/24: £77,924). The reduction reflects ongoing operational costs and capital investment during the year.

The General Reserve Fund provides financial stability and ensures the Club can meet its obligations as they fall due. It should also be noted that the Club previously received £18,578 in respect of an insurance claim for damage to the 3G pitch. As repair work has yet to be undertaken, these funds remain available for that future expenditure.

The Club has also earmarked funds for the future replacement of the 3G pitch as at 30th June 2025 this was £68,419.

Going Concern

The trustees have reviewed the Club’s financial position and cash flow projections and are satisfied that the Club remains a going concern with adequate resources to meet its financial commitments.

The continued financial stability of Sevenoaks Town FC Limited is a testament to the support of our members, volunteers, sponsors and the wider community. The Committee will continue to manage resources prudently to ensure the long-term sustainability and development of the Club.

Structure, governance and management

Nature of governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Arrangements for setting key management personnel remuneration

No director or charitable trustee received any remuneration from the club during the year.

Employment of disabled persons

The club has an open to all policy for volunteers and trustees.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of Sevenoaks Town FC Limited (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

Sevenoaks Town FC Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

After making enquires, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

The trustees are able to exercise control over the charity's expenditure when the charity's activities are restricted. They are confident that the charity will be able to continue to meet its financial obligations, as and when they fall due and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

SEVENOAKS TOWN FC LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity adopted Charities SORP (FRS 102) Bulletin 1 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. Income from pitch and facility hire is recognised on the date of hire. Clubhouse takings are recognised on a daily basis.

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity. Other regular giving is recognised upon receipt of funds by the charity.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Raising funds

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

SEVENOAKS TOWN FC LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate
3G pitch and stadium costs 12.5% straight line
Plant and equipment 20% straight line

Costs incurred in connection with the new clubhouse have not been depreciated.

Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.

Stock

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO).

SEVENOAKS TOWN FC LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
