The charity has also continued to develop its health programmes, including cancer prehabilitation sessions delivered at Stanley Sports Hub in partnership with health organisations. These sessions provide exercise and peer support for individuals preparing for cancer treatment.
Programmes such as Joy of Moving also promote healthy lifestyles and physical activity among children within local schools.
Education
Education remains one of the charity's flagship delivery areas, providing young people with pathways into further education, employment and careers in sport.
The Football Education Programme currently supports 110 students studying full-time sport qualifications, alongside competitive football opportunities.
The charity works closely with local schools through programmes designed to support personal development, confidence and aspiration among young people.
Additional employability workshops and alternative education provision continue to support individuals who benefit from a more tailored approach to learning.
Achievements and performance
During the year the charity continued to deliver significant impact across the community.
The charity distributed 3,795 free Accrington Stanley match tickets to members of the local community, helping to strengthen engagement with the football club.
Through the Big Shirt Giveaway initiative, 1,248 free Accrington Stanley shirts were provided to Year 3 pupils across Hyndburn, strengthening the connection between young people and their local football club.
Stanley Sports Hub continues to serve as the charity's headquarters and flagship community facility, providing a base for programme delivery while offering high-quality sports facilities for local residents, grassroots clubs and community organisations.
Strategy and future plans
On 1 July 2025, the charity launched a new three-year strategic plan covering the period 2025-2028. The strategy sets out the organisation's ambition to further strengthen its impact across Hyndburn through sport, education, health and community engagement.
Key priorities include expanding inclusive programmes, strengthening partnerships across the region and continuing to enhance the facilities and services available at Stanley Sports Hub.
A significant development planned for the coming year is the construction of new padel courts at Stanley Sports Hub, representing a major investment in the site and introducing one of the fastest-growing sports in the UK to the local community. This development will increase participation opportunities while supporting the long-term sustainability of the facility.
The charity will continue to review and develop its programmes to ensure services remain responsive to the evolving needs of the community while maintaining strong links with Accrington Stanley Football Club, whose support remains central to the Trust's ability to engage and inspire local people.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity has generated net income of £187,356 in the year to the 30th of June 2025, representing an increase from that recognised in the prior year (£143,187).
The income from donations and grants awarded have seen a slight but steady increase to £181,617 (2024: £165,215),
There was again a deficit on charitable activities of £57,109 (2024: deficit of £77,493) which was funded by grants and other trading income.
The free reserves of the charity (excluding amounts held as fixed assets) have increased from £85,290 to £293,128.
As at the year end, the total funds of the charity stand at £3,700,233 (2024: £3,512,877) of which 92% is invested in the Sports Hub facility to ensure the sustainability and continuity of the charity for many years to come.
Reserves policy
The objective of having unrestricted funds in reserve, is to enable the charity to cope with unplanned events. Very often, the effects of an unplanned event can be managed in the long-term, but the charity needs reserves in the meantime.
The trustee directors’ have set an overall target level for free reserves based on 12 months' net operating costs. This is over and above those reserves represented by fixed assets on the balance sheet.
The directors acknowledge that the level of reserves changes during the year and could either be a good indicator of the underlying financial health of the charity; or could be an indicator of potential problems.
The directors must monitor and review the level of reserves annually, in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission; however, the level of reserves is monitored throughout the year as part of the normal monitoring and budgetary reporting processes.
The current level of unrestricted, free reserves equates to 3 months’ net operating costs which is below the trustee directors’ target due to continuing investment in the Sports Hub to increase the availability and variation in facilities and services available to the public, but also to increase future income. The level of free reserves are increasing year on year and we aim to continue building reserves to a level that is equivalent to 12 months of expenditure, to provide stability within the charity and reduce any risk of closure due to insufficient finding.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF “ ACCRINGTON STANLEY FOOTBALL IN THE COMMUNITY TRUST LIMITED
.,
: : :
.
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Accrington Stanley Football in the Community Trust Limited (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 30th June 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30th June 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
~ have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law, Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon,
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees, which includes the Directors' Report and Strategic Report for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
~ the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report included within the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 8
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF ACCRINGTON STANLEY FOOTBALL IN THE COMMUNITY TRUST LIMITED
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees; or
-
material misstatement in the Strategic Report or Directors' Report included within the Report of the Trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 9
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF ACCRINGTON STANLEY FOOTBALL IN THE COMMUNITY TRUST LIMITED
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial 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 is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) 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 of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
-
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, we considered the following:
-
the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the key drivers for directors' remuneration and dividend levels;
-
results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
-
any matters we identified having made enquiries of management about their policies and procedures relating to: > identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance;
-
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
- the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and local tax legislation.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements, but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate.
Audit response to risks identified
-
As aresult of performing the above our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
-
reviewing the financial statements disclosure and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
- enquiring of management about actual and potential litigation and claims; :
-
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risk of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
obtained an understanding of provisions and held discussions with management to understand the basis of recognition or non-recognition of tax provisions; and
-
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed the non-compliance with laws and regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.fic.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
