| Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
streetfootballworld (sfw) was set up in 2002, working in the field of Development through Football. It set up the sfw network in 2004 to interconnect and strengthen the long-term social development initiatives pursued by members of the sfw network (network members) who use the potential of football to transform the lives of disadvantaged individuals from around the world. In October the organisation renamed to Common Goal gGmbH to unify the brand and align with the new strategy. There are currently over 200 community members, active in more than 100 countries worldwide, 7 of whom are based in the UK. The members overcome local social challenges with programmes that use football as a central instrument. The Charity, as the UK affiliate of Common Goal, aims to help disadvantaged youth and community development through football. Football is a vehicle for pursuing development of the life skills (e.g. team work) and values (e.g. mutual respect) of disadvantaged children and youths. Other goals for personal development include youth leadership, anti-discrimination, social integration, and peace building. The Charity aims to inform about poverty reduction, gender, health, and environmental issues along with job training. It will also encourage the furtherance of recreation and amateur sport by using football as the method to pursue the Charity’s objectives. The reason Common Goal was set up arose from the desire to further these aims by: 1. increasing community membership in the UK; 2. seeking to raise funds in the UK to support this kind of work around the world; and 3. developing a partnership with professional football in the UK so that its strength can be leveraged to help achieve the aims of the Charity. Furthermore, the Common Goal movement was increased in 2017 by streetfootballworld, the world’s leading organisation in the field of football for good. Common Goal encourages professional football players, managers, officials and clubs to donate a minimum of 1% of their earnings to support high-impact initiatives that use football to drive progress towards the Global Goals. The movement’s long-term vision is to unlock 1% of the entire football industry’s revenues — estimated at €50 billion per year. |

The trustees have set a reserves policy which requires: Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Reserves be maintained at a level which ensures that Common Goal UK’s core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. A proportion of reserves will be maintained in a readily realisable form. The calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the organisation's planning, budget and forecast cycle.
It will take into account:
-
Risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure being different from that budgeted
-
Planned activity level Organisation's commitments
The Trustees acknowledge that there has limited activity in the Charity over the last few years but that the intention is to build a much higher level of donations and the ability to fund more of its programmes. . At the moment any surplus funds are going to building the reserve, while at the same time allocating as much as possible to programmes that are now underway..
Details of any funds materially None – although still building the initial reserve, and with activity levels in deficit low at present the reserve is correspondingly low.
