Structure, governance and management
Governing document
Stevenage Football Club Foundation Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on August 17, 2010 and registered as a charity on January 25, 2011. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
Appointment of trustees
The trustees who are directors for the purpose of company law and trustees for the purpose of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report, are set out on page 2. New trustees are appointed upon the recommendation of existing trustees. One third of the trustees must retire at each annual general meeting and offer themselves for re-election.
Risk management
The Foundation's operations expose it to a variety of financial and operational risks that include working with children, the disabled and vulnerable adults. The Foundation has in place a risk management programme that seeks to limit the adverse effects on the financial performance of the charity by monitoring financial stability.
The Board of Trustees is aware of the required procedures involved in the recruitment of staff prior to employment in connection with working with children, the disabled and vulnerable adults. These procedures are formally written in the risk assessment manual together with following a documented recruitment procedure in order that all steps are taken to ensure that the Foundation complies with the relevant regulations.
The Foundation also has a formal health and safety manual. Each activity is formerly risk assessed and appropriate documentation completed prior to the commencement of that activity. The trustees are aware of the appropriate safeguards in place in order to mitigate the risks of the Foundation in this respect.
Given the size of the Foundation, the trustees have not delegated the responsibility of monitoring financial risk management to a sub-committee of the board. The policies set by the board of trustees are implemented by the Foundation's finance and operations department. The department has a policy and procedures manual that sets out specific guidelines to manage credit risk and liquidity risk and circumstances where it would be appropriate to use financial instruments to manage these.
The Risk Register is reviewed by the Trustees and updated on a regular basis.
Organisational structure
Day to day responsibility for the provision of services rests with the Chief Executive - Joe Goude.

Objectives and activities
Mission Statement
Our mission is to deliver local and accessible opportunities for all, using the power of sport and Stevenage FC to inspire our community to live active, healthy, positive lives and create a sense of belonging and purpose.
Charity Objects and Outcomes
The Charity's objects are for the benefit of the public in general in Hertfordshire and surrounding areas, without discrimination, as follows:
(1) to provide physical, mental, cultural and moral education;
(2) to provide and promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for the playing of football, other sports and physical fitness capable of improving physical and mental health;
(3) to promote and assist in providing facilities (facilities in this article means land, building, equipment or organising physical activities) 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 their conditions of life;
(4) to advance the education of the public and provide opportunities for them to develop their full capacities and enable them to become responsible, positive members of society so that their conditions of life and health may be improved; and
(5) the furtherance of such a charitable purpose or charitable purposes as the trustees shall from time to time think fit."
The trustees confirm that they have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
The Foundation carries out its objectives by providing a wide range of sport related and educational based projects and activities planned to cover the key areas of Healthy Habits, Aspire to Thrive, Places & Spaces and Our Boro, which have been identified by the Foundation as local priorities, linked to those identified by the English Football League Trust & Premier League Charitable Fund as key in using the power of sport to make a difference, inspire beliefs and change cultures. The English Football League Trust and Premier League Charitable Fund provides essential funding for its core activities.
To do this, there are four key outcomes that the Foundation focuses on:
1. Improved Health & Wellbeing
2. Greater Life Opportunities
3. Safer & More Cohesive Communities
4. More Inclusive & Diverse CCO & Club

Achievements and Performance
The core activities of the Foundation are delivered across three main areas including Education & Learning, Community Engagement, and Health & Wellbeing, in an inclusive manner, to support people of all backgrounds across our community to live active, healthy, and positive lives.
This is done by delivering over 30 different projects, all contributing to our four key outcomes – improved health and wellbeing, greater life opportunities, safer and more cohesive communities, and more inclusive & diverse CCO and Club.
Improved links have been made within the education sector by providing support and ancillary services for local Nursery, Primary, Secondary Schools, and Education Support Centres. Services to these organisations are offered via both curricular and extra-curricular packages, which seeks to build long term strategic partnerships through the delivery of high quality sports and education sessions, as well as donated signed club merchandise, stadium tours and first team player visits from the men's and women's teams.
Additionally, the Charity delivers a variety of health and sports based provision within the local community which includes evening, weekend and holiday based coaching for all ages, as well as a selection of strategic programmes to highlighted demographic groups from within the local community which use football as a vehicle to engage and improve their lives.
In addition to the core activities the Foundation received funding for a range of projects including:
Strength & Balance
Public Health Hertfordshire provided a second year of funding to support the provision of 12 weekly sessions across Hertfordshire for older adults, with the aim of reducing the prevalence of falls amongst older adults, particularly those at risk of isolation and loneliness. This was reduced from the previous 30 sessions, with funding straddling our own financial year (April – March).
The concluding first year programme engaged with 221 individuals, in which 81% were female, 19% male, with 82% aged over 65. Moving forward the programme is becoming a core part of the Foundation’s offer to our local community.
Shape Up
A successful consortium bid with Watford FC Community Sport & Education Trust saw an adult tier-2 weight management programme secured from Public Health Hertfordshire. This project, Shape Up, saw the two charities work together to deliver a project across the County of Hertfordshire, that in total engaged with 804 adults, of whom 62% sustained long term weight loss.
Funding has yet to be confirmed for future programmes, but the initial consortia approach to delivering a countywide project with Watford FC was deemed a success.
Employability
Throughout 2021-22, the Foundation developed a new employability offer building on historical success with providing young people employment opportunities via apprenticeships, and the successful utilisation of the Government Kickstart scheme. Eleven young people came through the Kickstart scheme, with 85% moving from this six month placement directly into full-time work or further training. Three of those young people remain employed with the Foundation.
Building on this, the Foundation has developed a partnership with local skills providers to offering

Year ended 31 August 2022
traineeships for young people. This has led to twelve individuals accessing 70 hours of guided work experience with both the Foundation and Stevenage Football Club, supported with workshops to make them work-ready. Five of those individuals have now sourced employment with Stevenage Football Club as a direct result of this project.
Girls’ Talent Pathway
The development of our Girls’ Pathway to support the growth of opportunities for young female athletes, saw the programme grow to over 180 girls taking part in weekly sessions, aged 9-16. These sessions take place in key community venues, ensure sessions are accessible both in terms of location and affordability. This has been reinforced by the introduction of a hardship fund for those players from low income households.
Joy Of Moving
The English Football League Trust (EFLT) provided just over £13,000 of funding, in partnership with Ferrero, to deliver the Joy of Moving programme to Year 5 students in local primary schools. Over 900 children engaged in a six week programme teaching the fundamentals and importance of a healthy lifestyle. This concluded with the delivery of a Joy of Moving festival for engaged schools to celebrate the success of the project.
National Citizen Service
Between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022, the Foundation delivered the programme during the Autumn and Summer holidays. In total 126 young people aged 16 - 17 years old participated in the programme, undertaking 3,780 hours of voluntary work on community based social action projects, including local charitable organisations.
Premier League Charitable Fund
In the 2021-22 academic year the Foundation received £50,000 to deliver their Primary Stars (£25,000) and Kicks (£25,000) projects, as part of a new funding cycle. Additionally, £10,000 was secured to support core charitable activities.
Primary Stars has supported teachers in local primary schools, to build their confidence in delivery of PE & School Sport, offering the support alongside a huge online database of resources provided by the Premier League.
Kicks engaged with over 350 participants across 2 sites in Stevenage, and Welwyn Hatfield offering both boys and girls aged 8-19 years old the opportunity to engage with sport either for the first time or to reengage with it. The project developed significantly with enhanced relationships with Hertfordshire Constabulary to use the programme to tackle key hot spots of anti-social behaviour within priority wards in those local authority areas.
Recognition
During 2021-22, the Foundation was recognised for its work during the Covid-19 pandemic by business networking group biz4Biz. The Foundation team received the Covid Hero award as part of the annual biz4Biz awards in Hertfordshire.
Financial Review
The net income for the year was £35,737(2021: net expenditure of £4,180).

Fundraising
Stevenage Football Club Foundation Limited is not a member of the fundraising regulator due to the limited amount of fundraising engaged in. To date, the Trust has not received any complaints with regards to fundraising activities and are mindful not to undertake fundraising activities that: intrude on privacy, are unreasonably persistent, or put any person - especially vulnerable people - under undue pressure to donate. Stevenage Football Club Foundation Limited does not employ or engage with any external fundraising agencies and do not undertake any street-fundraising or telephone cold-calling.
Reserves
The Trustees have revised the reserves policy during the year and agreed a range of £40,000 - £50,000. The policy is reviewed by the Board of Trustees in quarter 4 of each financial year.
Plans for future periods
Aspirations to grow the aforementioned employability offer to allow for it to be further reaching and increase numbers engaging in that pathway. This includes exploring the feasibility of offering new foundation degrees to attract new students to The Lamex for their higher education, building on the feedback from our strategic consultation that identified this as a priority area for our community.
Furthermore, the health & wellbeing offer will continue to grow with the introduction of an Extra Time Hub to do even more to support those at risk of isolation and loneliness. Plans to develop our support for further areas of health including cancer support, dementia, and reintroducing the Community Kitchen programme to support families with eating well on a budget, will all contribute to growth in this area.
The Foundation are working with partners to introduce a more robust offer for secondary schools, and specifically the alternative provision offer for those at risk of exclusion from mainstream education. This alternative provision will be delivered both at education support centres in our community, and also utilising The Lamex Stadium.
Plans are in place to apply for an Emerging Talent Centre licence from The Football Association to add another layer of opportunity to the Girls’ Pathway, aiming to secure one of sixty available licences across England.
Within our community, the growth of holiday provision has become a vital intervention that requires further development to meet demand. This includes expanding activity through the Holiday Activity & Food programme, offering activities and hot food for low income families during the school holidays. This project will also allow the Foundation to develop our relationship with Herts Sports Partnership who oversee the project within County.
Core activities such as Premier League Primary Stars, Premier League Kicks, Joy of Moving, and holiday provision will continue alongside our own activities such as support local primary and secondary schools with curricular and extra-curricular activities, Walking Football and matchday activities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Stevenage Football Club Foundation Limited
Year ended 31 August 2022
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Stevenage Football Club Foundation Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements 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
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.

We confirm that there are no critical judgements or estimates to note.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Income
All income is 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 charitable activity are accounted for when earned.
-
investment income is included when receivable.
-
income from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
Expenditure
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:
-
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..
-
governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate 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.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
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:
Sports equipment - 5 years Computer equipment - 2 years
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.
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.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity 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, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
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.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
