Strategic Priorities 2025 to 2026
l. Player Impact
We will continue to analyse, evaluate and improve the impact on the participants of a well-delivered curriculum of HIV
andlor SRHR programming through football coaching sessions as we ￿cOgnIse it is fundamental to Tackle's approach
and succe55. We recogni5e that demonstrating impact. quality and value for money will continue to act as a catalyst
for our reputation and continuing 8rowth.
Throughout thi5 Strategic period we will continue presenting our impaci based on youn8 people..
Reached by our programmes:
En8a8ed in our programmes,.
Accessing HIV/SRHR clinical seFvice5 as a result our programmes.
We will Celebrate these successes.
We will also tontlnue to develop our digital solution to further improve our quantitative data tollectlon with the use
of an online system across our Programmes. After multiple trials we have decided to move forward in partnership
with Upshot and will be rolling out their system further across our programmes in 2026.
2. Cooch Development
We will incorporate leaming from our operational activity and analyse. evaluate and continue to improve our abillty
in delivering regular high-ouality sessions to consistent group5 of participants over significant enough periods to
achieve positive change. Our operations team with continue to design our Pfogramrnes in collaboration with our
partner and maintain flexibility in our model whefe we see the opportunity to do so.
3. Achlevln8 Surtalnablllty
We will continue our planned approaches to assessin8 and buiklin8 partner capacity in those areas that ensure our
partners have the skills. resources and motivation to plan. implement and monitor Tackle piogramme5. We remain
committed to supportiri8 our partners to run Tackle style pro8rammes themselves and. where requi￿d, we mav
continue to lead or 5UPPOrt them to Secure the necessary funds. We will continue to develop our quality a55urance
role to ensure the hiBhest possible consistency in standar(1s of delivery across all branded Tackle activity.
We Tetognise that programmatic sustainability is key to our impact and our growth. allowing us to develop new
projects that add to rather than replace existing or p￿viOUS work. We ￿maIn Committed to partner programmes
through INGOS as the most likely source of exponential programme gr0￿h that would take the organisation beyond
the targets outlined in this strate8y. During this strate8K period, we see the opportunity for such pro8rammin8 bein8
supported by the receni development of our Tool Kits.
These oblectSves can be seen to be Integrnl to the current UN Sustainable Development Goals. Specifically, our work
on HIV contributes to Goal 3 "Good Health & Well-being" and our work on SRHR, Child Marriage, FGM and Gender
Based Violence contributes to Goal 5~Achieving Gender Equality and empowering all Women and Glrls".
In 2025 Tackle secured new sources of funding to deliver Safeguarding tralning and support to multlple partners
including those on the Equal Play Effect global programme and Common Goal. These new income Streams stemmed
from the planned strategic objecttve of monetising Tackle's experbence ond intellectual property wh￿h has been
Ileveloped and honed over more than 20 years.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
The success of both pieces of work have led to several other interested parties contacting Tackle with more projects
planned in 2026.
Future Plans
We will Work from a rolling Strategy. allowing us to be agTrle and Te5ponsive to an ever-changin8 and challenging
environment. We have identified strategic objectives for the next three years that aim to contribute to our
organisatlonal goals. These will be reviewed and adjusted every year, based on what we are learnin& the influences
on the international development sector and the specific issues we work on.
There is sector-wide consensus that international development is continuing to experience a period of intense and
rapid change. The dramatlc tuts to USAID in January 2025. followed by fvrther reductions in Overseas Aid Bud8et5
across the Global North have further exacerbated these challenges and uncertainties at a time when the need for our
programmes is increasing dramatically.
2025 saw the completlon of the process of registerin8 TackleAfrica in the Ivory Coast. We have now established
TackleAfrica in Zambia, Uganda and the Ivory Coast and these entities will provide the basls for our continued work in
West, East and Southern Africa. In addition to our Supporter Clubs in France and Germany Ito ra15e new funds and to
reinforce our growinB links with the French and Gem)an international development communitie51, we believe these
structural changes wlll provide the platform to allow us to develop the partnerships and secure the resources to
continue to work with more youn8 people and achSeve greater impact.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
Financial review
The Trustee Directors have reviewed the overall finances of the charity and are satisfied with the current financial
position. In Ilne with the charity's financial policie5. The board ￿vIewS the charity's finances on a quarterly basi5 to
monitor the financial health of the organisation and to identify any required action.
Income banked In 2025 totalled £1.194.477 with expenditure of £1,072,181. After factoring in the gain on investments
this resulted in us increasing OUT total ￿serveS in the period by £152.057 which included a reduction of £20,870 in
unrestricted ￿serves.
A further £57,360 of programming funding was secured by Tackle from funders that flowed directly to our partners in
the African countries in which we work in order to run Tackle programming. This funding figure does not appear in
our accoLtrnts forthe period. as either income orexpenditufe, but gives a more accurate reflection of the scale of Tackle
programming and is fully in line with our stated objective of WOTkin8 alongside and to enhance our African partners.
Reserves
Tackle's reserves policy is to malntaln free reseNes in the range of £115K to £161K. Thls pollcy is based on the
organisations shutdown costs, allowin8 for a 8raduated Process, including a time allowance, plus a buffer a8ainst
potential financlal risks that the organisation faces. together with an investment level to enable future opportunities
to be described and met.
Our free resetves posltion stands at £99,234, after taking into account fiKed a55ets. This is slightly below the Ideal
range the Trustee Board would Ilke to maintain re5erve5 at, but above the shutdown costs of £77,058.
Fundln8
Tackle continues to raise a siBnificant proportion of its income from UK event5 includin8 Football Marathons and
sponsorship, this tolalled É293,801 in the twefve months to 31 December 2025. 2025 also saw us launch our first golf

Responslljllltles of trustees
A5 explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibililies, the trustees (who are also the directors of the
charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are ￿sponsible for the preparation of the financial statements
and for being Satisfied that they 8ive a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine 15
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
In preparfng the flnancial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charltable company's akn'lity to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the golng concem
basis of actounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or
have no reali5tlc alternatlve but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointetl as auditors under Sertion 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the
Act and relevant regulations ma(ie or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financlal statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. but 15 not a guarantee that an audit
tonducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
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 ol these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud is detailed below..
Based on our understanding of the charity and the indurtry which tt operates, we identified that the principal risks of
non-compliance with laws and regulations related to those laws whbch have a direcl impact on the preparation of
the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2(Q6 and Charities Act 2022.
We evaluated managemeni's oppor1unities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the
risk of override of controls). and determined that the principal risks were relate(I to posting inappropriate journal
entries to manipulate financial results and potential management bias towards accounttng estiTnates. Audit

procedures included discussions with management. chaI￿n81n8 assumptions made by management in their
significant accounting estimates, and identifying and testTrn8 joumal entrie5 Posted with unusual account
combination5.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, and the further ￿MOVed non-compliance
with laws and regulations is from events and transactions feflected in the financial statement5, the less likely we
would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one
resulting from error. as fraud may be deliberate concealment by, for example. forgery or intentional
misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further de5CTiPtion of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is locate(i on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of
Ihe Independent Auditors.

**TACKLE AFRICA (company number 07328452)** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2025** 

## **1. Statutory Information** 

Tacke Africa is a private company limited by guarantee.  The charity's registered company number, registered charity number, registered office and the nature of its activities can be found in the Trustees Report. 

The presentation currency of the financial statements is Pounds Sterling (£).  The level of rounding in the accounts is to the nearest pound. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

These financial statements consolidate, on a line by line basis, the results of the charitable company and TackleAfrica Zambia, TackleAfrica (Uganda) and TackleAfrica (Cote d'Ivoire) over which the charitable company has control due to having some Trustee Directors in common.  Transactions and balances between the charitable company and its subsidiary have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.  Balances between the two companies are disclosed in the notes of the charitable company's balance sheet.  A separate statement of financial activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charitable company itself is not presented because the charitable company has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded in section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

No critical accounting judgements have been made in the process of applying the accounting policies below. 

There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Future forecasts and business plans have been considered in coming to this conclusion. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised under the performance model. The grant income is recognised upon performance conditions being satisfied (and should it be received in advance of satisfying the performance, recognition of the income is deferred as a liability) and where there are no specific future performance-related conditions then grants are recognised when proceeds are received or receivable. 

## **Donations** 

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). 

## **Trading activities** 

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. 

## **Charitable Activities** 

The charity receives corporate grants in respect of agreed projects. Income from grants is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

_The notes form part of these financial statements_ Page 19 



**TACKLE AFRICA (company number 07328452)** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2025** 

## **2. Accounting policies - continued** 

## **Allocation and apportionment of costs** 

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. 

Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

|Motor vehicles|- 25% on cost|
|---|---|
|Equipment|- 33% on cost|



Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. 

## **Fixed Asset Investments** 

Investments are stated at fair value at the balance sheet date.  The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations throughout the year.  All gains and losses are calculated at the difference between the market value at the balance sheet date and the opening market value (or purchase value if the date is later). 

## **Taxation** 

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 of the Finance Act 2010.  It therefore meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Financial Instruments** 

The charity holds financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.  Basic financial instruments include debtors and creditors 

## **Debtors and creditors** 

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. 

## **Foreign Currency** 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into sterling using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions.  Monetary items, assets and liabilities are retranslated at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the retranslation are recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

## **Pensions** 

The charity operates to a defined contribution pension plan on behalf of all qualifying staff to Tackle Africas Aviva pension scheme in the UK and NAPSA in Zambia. Contributions to the plan are recognised in the period in which contributions are due.  The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund.
