In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our a¢tivities. the Iruslees have considered the Charity
Commission's guidance on public benefil, including the guidance 'public benefit.. running a charity IPB21'.
The trustees confimi that they have complied with the duly in section 17 of the Charities Act 201110 have
due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Activltles and Finanelal Results
The 2019120 year was unusual. Having ballled though the cold of the °Beast from the East. the previous
season the Club found itself battling through the wellest year almost since records began. Then, just as we
approached the normal end of the season, brought lo an abrupt hall by'the Coronavirus IcLkd¢vm.
Despite the difficulties hmver the club was able lo provide training, competitive matches, and educalional
opportunities for young people.
During the year, the Club maintained ils highly soughl-aller slalus of being a FA Charter Standard
Community Club. A level only achieved by less than the len percent of clubs who can demonslrale the most
advan￿ level of development and football provision
The Educational and Training program continued with particular emphasis on assisting the coaches
progress their FA courses and the Club fulfil the requirements to retain ils standard charted accreditation.
The Club's P￿IcY remains to impress on the players the importance of èyucation and training.

Trustees. Report
For the year ended 31st August 2020
A FA Safegarding cour9e for Managers and Coaches was held successfilly in person before the Covid
lockdown. As part of the Club's Ca￿er opportunities program a Smartphone Journalism course delivered by
a BBC sports journalist, was held over Zoom. The participants produced their own videos which were then
5h¢Thed to the wder club.
After the pre$eawn training session and friendly matches, the formal season started in Septem￿1 2019
th an Under 10 Training Squad. a new U11 Boys Team and a new U11 Girfs Team. The remaining teams
moved up an age group to Under 12 Boys. Under 12 Girts, Under 13 Boys, Under 14 Boys, Under 14 Girls,
Under 16 Boys, ￿ UrKler 17 Boys teams, a Senior Reserves Team and a First Team. This was the fi'rst
year that the Club had been aNe to field three Girls teams, making it one of the bigger clubs in central
London for the provision of girls, football. The Under 11 Boys team ￿a$ entered in the Harrcw Soccer
Combinats'on League,. the Boys youth teams in the Harrow Youth Football League and the Girls, teams in
the Capilal Girls League. The First Team continues in the Premiership of the Middlesex Counly Fcotball
League and the Reserves in the Saturday combination League.
All the teams trained regularly and played their League and Cup matches. Every team had their successes
but also the inevitable disappointments- les90ns that are often more important lo personal development.
The biggest learning curve was for the new Under 11 Boys and the new Under 11 Girls who vftre playing
their first competitive league matches. The Club's policy is to impress on the players that the wint of
playing the matches is to enjoy the experience and to learn lessons to improve. The Girts Under 11 s
their first match on 18 January and were absolutely delighted. They had gone from a group of girls from
wdely different backgrounds, who did not know each other, to a team that could ¥Mn matches. The Boys
Under 11s similarly started as a disparate group who startlingly won their first match on 24 November by a
large margin. The elder teams all had a solid season with the Seniors developing into strong, successful
sides and the Under 17 Boys heading towards league and cup wns. Just as the season was heading for an
exciting end the unfolding Coronavirus epidemic lead lo a lockdown.
The challenge for the Club remains securing good quality local facilities to run ils training sessions and
aclivilies. The TnJ8tees have rqected the option of securing grounds out of West London as its objective is
to work wth young people in the local community lo promote community participation. The Club again
devoted another year negotiating wlh the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham to improve
facilities at the Linford Christse Stadium.
During the year the rlub's income vms generated mainly from donations, 9ranls and sponsorship5.
Particular thanks musl be expressed for the support given by the John Lyon's Charity, The Clarendon Group
and the Patrons. The activities and linancial results for the year are as shown in the accounts.
