Trustees' Report
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The company's objects and principal activities are:
-
the advancement of education,
-
to promote social inclusion, and
-
the promotion of participation in healthy recreation through sport and in particular (but without limitation) the provision of football based activities.
Objectives, strategies and activities
SSA delivers an accredited Coach Education and Personal Development Programme primarily in custody environments. The programme is accredited with AQA (Assessment and Qualifications Alliance) Unit Award Scheme and rewards individuals for successfully completing units with certification. SSA has a scheme of work in place and lesson plans to ensure the programme is delivered consistently in each establishment.
The North West based Regional Centres offered capacity for up to 80 ‘hard to reach’ individuals to engage with the charity via the Centres in the North West of England. It is at these Centres that individuals can combat issues such as homelessness, offending behaviour, addictions, long-term unemployment and poor health and wellbeing. Staff oversee the sessions providing help and support in identified areas in order to help the service users reach their full potential.
Various interpersonal and leadership skills are developed along with access to a minimum of one hour per week of physical exercise for each participant. Individuals that progress through the SSA levels system receive increased access to sports-based arenas, thus rewarding their commitment and positive application at Regional Centres. Typical progressions of service users include advancement onto industry recognised qualifications, work placements, voluntary work and employment. Practical experience and work skills opportunities exist within the charity itself and with partner organisations.
Those who successfully ‘exit’ the weekly practical sessions can choose to continue to receive support from the Floating Support Team.
We receive service users into our environments of all ethnicities and backgrounds and ensure that our equal opportunities policy is understood and administered by all staff and service users. Our Super Centres seek to build positive relationships through appraisals & peer mentoring and our service users are actively encouraged to participate in regular activities that are available in their local areas in order to reintegrate them back into their local communities.
Street Soccer Academy firmly believes in inclusivity. We have experience of supporting a significant number of service users in becoming reintegrated back into their communities through resettlement schemes, formal education, family reconciliation, work experience, voluntary work and employment. This enables people who were once marginalised to play a full part in local communities once more
Street Soccer Academy continues to invest into the staff who deliver the sports-based programmes throughout prisons and communities. Everyone involved in the delivery of sport have regular appraisals and the charity invests into their continued professional development by up skilling their qualifications.

Trustees' Report
Public benefit
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
During 2024 Street Soccer Academy provided up to 80 spaces per week for service users to attend community-based interventions through football and fitness-based programmes. In addition, the five prison-based programmes provided capacity for a minimum of 384 service users per annum to engage with the rehabilitation-based services.
Despite HMP Forest Bank prison becoming a resettlement prison, Street Soccer Academy continues to have a through the gate engagement rate of approximately 65% with released inmates from both HMP Forest Bank and HMP Berwyn. Due to pressures being put on prisons and bed spaces, turnover of men is high, therefore, maintaining contact with the men when they are released through the gate is an achievement in itself.
Approximately 30% of all individuals released enter into employment within 3 months. This figure is above the employment figures for the general population of those released from prison so is regarded as a good industry standard.
During 2024, Street Soccer Academy delivered a community-based Coach Education and Personal Development Programme for the first time in Greater Manchester. It was regarded as a pilot project and 12 men enrolled to participate. Further courses will be considered during 2025.
Gifts in Kind
The charity received the hire of several facilities either in kind or at reduced rates during 2024.
The charity also received legal advice on a reduced cost basis.
The total monetary value of these gifts in kind is estimated to be in the region of £5,000 and the charity would like to express its thanks to the relevant providers.
The charity would also like to express its thanks to the various individuals and companies who volunteer their time and services free of charge on a regular basis, the value of which is unquantifiable.
Financial review
Policy on reserves
The Charity was successful in retaining between 6 and 12 months of expenditure in reserves throughout 2024.
This target was set to meet the working capital requirements in order for the Charity to continue the current activities in the event of a significant drop in funding.
The Management Committee continues to examine the Charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. The trustees reviewed the Charity's reserves policy in 2024 and agreed that unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 6 and 12 months of the expenditure.

Trustees' Report
Principal funding sources
In addition to the income generated by donations and fundraising events, other principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of contract income and grants.
Contract Income
Contract income is derived from providers in the education sector, accommodation sector and justice services to deliver programmes in a variety of settings.
Grant Income
The charity has been successful in obtaining grants during 2024 from:
The National Lottery Reaching Communities - £22,829
Grant amounts received from ‘The Henry Smith Charity’ in 2023 for work undertaken in 2024 were included in restricted funds brought forward as at 1st January 2024.
Investment policy and objectives
Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term and so there are currently no funds available for long-term investment.
Plans for future periods
The North West of England, particularly Lancashire and Greater Manchester remain as the priority areas for continued community-based development along with exploring opportunities to advance the prison model further with new partnerships in the Justice Sector. Areas are being identified for further Street Soccer Academy models to be developed along with local partners.
Opportunities to expand existing partnerships will be explored with other prisons up for tender in the near future in Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Liverpool.
In community, we will continue to develop and seek further partnerships with well-respected and industry recognised groups in order to provide a mutual aid network of support to those with multiple and complex needs in the geographical areas stated. It is expected that partnerships will continue to be in the following fields: housing associations, justice services, education providers, homeless agencies, healthcare, social services, other charities and employers with strong corporate social responsibility philosophies. Partnerships will continue to be created with relevant industry experts to develop initiatives that directly combat the issues that the charity’s service users face.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 8 September 2010 and registered as a charity on 14 February 2011. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount of £10 per member.

Trustees' Report
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles. In this report these are referred to as members of the Management Committee. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer sit on the Management Committee but have no voting rights.
Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the trustees once elected are intended to be permanent. If trustees are to be disqualified or removed, the procedures laid out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association are to be adhered to.
The nature of the charity’s work is based around people with ‘multiple and complex needs’. The Management Committee seeks to ensure that the needs of this group are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the trustee body. All members of the Management Committee must be either directly involved with the delivery of the services that the charity offers or be able to demonstrate a unique understanding of the people group to be supported in order to add clear value to the charity's objectives.
Induction and training of trustees
All trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity having been encouraged to visit the Regional Centres where the core services are delivered.
Additionally, new trustees must all sign a declaration of eligibility as a security check for fraud. Trustees are expected to attend a short training and induction session in order to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. The training sessions are led by the Chief Executive of the charity and covers:
-
The obligations of Management Committee members
-
The main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity including the Memorandum and Articles Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts, future plans and objectives
Organisational structure
A scheme of delegation is in place and day-to-day responsibility for the provision of the services rest with the Chief Executive along with the Chief Operating Officer and General Manager. This group has been named the Senior Management Team. The Senior Management Team meet weekly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity.
The Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officer are responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met. The Chief Operating Officer has responsibility for the day-to-day operational management of service provision and the General Manager has responsibility for all administrative aspects of the charity. The Chief Operating Officer is responsible for the individual supervision of the staff team and also ensuring that the team continues to develop their skills and working practices in line with good practice.

Trustees' Report
Relationships with related parties
In so far as it is complimentary to the charity's objects, the charity works closely with experts in related fields who also provide services to the charity's beneficiary group. The charity works in close collaboration with locally and nationally recognised groups providing expert provision in areas of accommodation, justice services, finance, education, employment & training, physical & mental health, families & community support and drugs & alcohol support.
In the North West of England four Regional Centres operated in 2024 in East Lancashire, North Manchester, Central Manchester and South Manchester.
Five services were delivered within two prisons during 2025. In HMP Forest Bank, A StreetSoccer, StreetFit and Connections Centre operated and in HMP Berwyn a StreetSoccer and Connections Centre service.
The Connections Centre offers an opportunity for through the gate to individuals who have not enrolled on a StreetSoccer or StreetFit Programme.
Street Soccer Academy continue to operate as part of a mutual aid network in prison and community environments working alongside experienced organisations offering housing support, education provision, employment opportunities, wellbeing programmes and intervention-based support.
Additional links have been created with recovery-based organisations in Greater Manchester such as Acorn and CGL in order to provide support to people who are battling with addictions.
Major risks and management of those risks
The Management Committee continues to conduct a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. The established business continuity plan has been updated for the period 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.
Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff and clients. The annual registration and renewed award of England FA Accreditation (formerly FA Charter Standard) status ensures a consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity. The internal quality management framework further complements existing standards as laid out by the FA (Football Association) and AQA (Assessment and Qualifications Alliance) to which Street Soccer Academy is reportable.
The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 6 June 2025 and signed on its behalf by:
Mr D G Wynd Trustee

Street Soccer Academy
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Street Soccer Academy for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Street Soccer Academy ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (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’).
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 your 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 Company'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 McKellens Ltd, 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 Street Soccer Academy as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
the accounts 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)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Street Soccer Academy
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024
1 Charity status
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The address of its registered office is: 1-3 The Courtyard Calvin Street Bolton BL1 8PB
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 6 June 2025.
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
Street Soccer Academy 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
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity has opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Income and endowments
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.
Page 12
Street Soccer Academy
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024
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.
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.
Gifts in kind
Gifts in kind are recognised in different ways dependent on how they are used by the charity:
(i) Those donated for resale produce income when they are sold. They are valued at the amount actually realised.
(ii) Those donated for onward transmission to beneficiaries are included in the Statement of Financial Activities as incoming resources and resources expended when they are distributed. They are valued at the amount the charity would have had to pay to acquire them.
(iii) Those donated for use by the charity itself are included when receivable. They are valued at the amount the charity would have had to pay to acquire them.
Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
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.
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.
Page 13
Street Soccer Academy
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024
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
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded 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 Fixtures and fittings 5 years straight line Office equipment 3 years straight line
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.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
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.
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.
