FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 February 2025 

• Use the power of football to educate, empower, and connect young people from diverse backgrounds, fostering dialogue and encouraging collective contributions to their communities.

## **Programme Snapshot** 

## **Bradford Peace Centre** 

## **Overview** 

The Bradford Peace Centre continued to strengthen its impact throughout the 2024–2025 programme year, expanding its reach to underprivileged youth across the city and deepening engagement with families and communities. All sessions remained free of charge, ensuring accessibility for those facing economic and social barriers. 

## **Key Highlights for the Year** 

## **Significant Growth in Youth Participation** 

• The Peace Centre recorded its highest annual participation figures to date. 

• Engagement from underprivileged communities across Bradford expanded steadily, reflecting increased trust and recognition of the Centre’s role in providing a safe environment for personal growth, learning, and wellbeing. 

## **100% Increase in Female Participation** 

• A major milestone this year was the doubling of female participation, driven by targeted outreach, girl-focused recruitment, and a safer, more inclusive programme environment. 

• This expansion has helped rebalance gender representation and provide new opportunities for girls to engage in leadership development, sport-based education, and confidence-building experiences. 

## **Strengthened Family and Community Engagement** 

• Recognising that young people’s challenges are often rooted in wider family and community dynamics, the Centre increased intentional outreach to parents and guardians. 

• Family engagement sessions, informal check-ins, and open evenings were introduced, helping staff understand local pressures such as:

• Families gained a deeper awareness of available support pathways and community services.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 February 2025 

## **Rehydrate The Earth – Mozambique Programme** 

## **Community-Led Water Restoration & Youth Development** 

## **Overview** 

During this year, the Rehydrate The Earth programme in Mozambique progressed into Phase 3, marking a major milestone in community ownership and long-term sustainability. After several years of capacity-building, training, and infrastructure development, local communities are now independently delivering groundwater recharge systems and leading football-based youth sessions without direct external facilitation. 

This shift represents the transition from programme dependency to full community-driven stewardship one of the core long-term ambitions of the initiative. 

## **Community-Led Water Stewardship** 

## **Independent Delivery of Groundwater Recharge Features** 

- Building on the foundations from Phase 2, community water stewards and local leadership groups successfully: • Planned, constructed, and maintained groundwater recharge features entirely on their own 

- Developed systems to monitor water flow, soil health, and recharge effectiveness 

- Coordinated volunteer teams to deliver work collectively and responsibly 

- Integrated traditional ecological knowledge with modern conservation methods 

## **Impact of Phase 3 Water Restoration** 

- Improved year-round water availability for farming and household use 

- Reduced vulnerability during dry seasons 

- Increased community confidence as local stewards take full leadership 

- Strengthened local governance around water as a shared resource 

Communities now see the recharge structures not only as infrastructure but as a symbol of self-reliance and climate resilience. 

## **Youth-Led Football & Community Sessions** 

## **Local Coaches Leading Football Sessions** 

The 15 football coaches trained in earlier phases are now: 

- Independently delivering weekly football sessions for children and young people in the region 

- Using football as a tool for resilience, teamwork, and leadership development 

- Integrating environmental education into sessions to reinforce water stewardship messages 

- Creating safe and inclusive spaces for youth engagement 

## **Youth Engagement Outcomes** 

- Increased participation of girls and younger children 

- Stronger bridges between youth and community leaders 

- Greater awareness among young people about the water crisis and how they can contribute 

Football continues to serve as both a bonding activity and an educational platform.

**FOOTBALL FOR PEACE FOUNDATION** 

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 February 2025 

## **Community Impact in Phase 3** 

## **Sustainable Development Through Local Leadership** 

Communities have now reached the point where: 

- Water stewardship groups operate autonomously 

- Recharge features are built without outside support 

- Youth programmes run on locally organised schedules 

- Knowledge transfer between generations is occurring naturally 

## **Benefits Reaching Thousands** 

The ongoing efforts continue to benefit over 6,000 community members, improving: 

- Access to water for agriculture 

- Household water security 

- Livelihood resilience 

- Community cohesion and shared responsibility 

## **Significance of Phase 3** 

Phase 3 represents: 

- True localisation: the programme operates without dependency 

- Long-term sustainability: skills and systems are embedded within the community 

- A strong model for expansion: Mozambique becomes a blueprint for replicating Rehydrate The Earth in other regions 

- Generational impact: youth engagement ensures continued stewardship well into the future 

This phase demonstrates what’s possible when capacity-building meets community ownership. 

## **Conclusion** 

Phase 3 of the Mozambique programme reflects a transformative shift—from externally supported project delivery to fully community-led action. Local residents are now driving water restoration efforts, managing their own infrastructure, and empowering youth through football and education. The region has taken a major step toward long-term water security, resilience, and sustainable development. 

## **Youth Programme Development – Serbia & Maldives Project Planning & Funding Impact Summary** 

## **Overview** 

During this programme year, Football for Peace initiated planning for two new youth-focused projects in Serbia and the Maldives. Both initiatives were designed to support young people through football-based education, resilience building, and community development, aligning with FFP’s global mission to engage youth through sport and positive values. 

Comprehensive programme structures, delivery plans, and partnership frameworks were developed. However, due to unexpected US government funding stoppages, both projects were halted before implementation. 

## **Programme Planning & Design**

**FOOTBALL FOR PEACE FOUNDATION** 

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 February 2025 

## **Serbia – Youth Peace & Resilience Programme**

- Engaging at-risk youth through football and leadership sessions 

- Building resilience, teamwork, and conflict-resolution skills 

- Strengthening community cohesion in regions experiencing social tension 

- Developing a local network of trained community coaches and mentors 

Curriculum frameworks, stakeholder mapping, and partnership agreements with local organisations were all completed.

The Maldives programme was designed to: 

- Support youth living on the front line of climate vulnerability 

- Integrate football with education on sustainability and environmental stewardship 

- Train local youth leaders and community facilitators 

- Create safe spaces for young people to develop essential life skills 

Environmental modules, coach training plans, and delivery logistics were finalised ahead of launch. 

## **Suspension of Programme Delivery** 

## **Funding Impact** 

Both Serbia and Maldives projects were ready to enter Phase 1 delivery when US government funding was unexpectedly halted, affecting multiple international youth and peacebuilding initiatives. 

Due to this external funding interruption: 

- Planned programme launches were paused 

- Local partners were informed and remain supportive 

- Implementation has been placed on hold pending future funding clarity 

## **Achievements Despite Non-Delivery** 

Even though delivery did not commence, significant groundwork was completed: 

## **Strategic Foundations Established** 

- Fully designed programme structures 

- Monitoring and evaluation frameworks 

- Community engagement plans 

- Risk assessments and safeguarding protocols 

## **Partnership Building** 

- Initial partnerships in both countries confirmed 

- Local stakeholders aligned around programme aims 

- Coaches and facilitators identified for future training

**FOOTBALL FOR PEACE FOUNDATION** 

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 February 2025 

## **Operational Readiness** 

- Curriculum materials drafted and reviewed 

- Session outlines and workshop toolkits created 

- Delivery schedules built around local needs and school calendars 

This preparation ensures both programmes can move rapidly into implementation once funding resumes. 

## **Next Steps** 

Football for Peace remains committed to launching both youth initiatives. Plans are to: 

- Continue monitoring funding developments 

- Explore alternative financing to unlock programme delivery 

- Maintain relationships with local partners in Serbia and the Maldives 

- Keep programme materials updated and ready for activation 

## **Conclusion** 

While unforeseen funding stoppages prevented the Serbia and Maldives youth programmes from launching this year, extensive planning and partnership-building were successfully completed. Both initiatives now have strong foundations in place and stand ready for implementation once resources are secured. The groundwork achieved this year ensures that when funding becomes available, FFP can immediately begin delivering impactful youth engagement across both regions.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 February 2025 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

## **1.1 Accounting Policies** 

The principal accounting policies adopted by the Charity, which is a public benefit entity, in the preparation of the accounts are as follows. 

## **1.2 Basis of preparation** 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the inclusion of charitable properties and fixed asset investments and investment properties at valuation. 

These accounts 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)” (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

These accounts are presented in pounds sterling and rounded to the nearest pound. 

## **1.3 Going concern** 

The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic conditions and have, at the time of approving these accounts, a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. 

## **1.4 Income from charitable activities** 

Income from charitable activities is recognised over the period to which the income relates. Concert fees are recognised at the date of the event. Membership fees are recognised over the period of the membership. Rent is recognised over the period to which it relates. Any amounts relating to future periods are deferred. 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised when a present legal or constructive obligation exists at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be estimated reliably. It is inclusive of VAT which cannot be recovered. 

Direct costs are those costs which directly attribute to its activities. Wages and salaries are allocated to direct costs based on an estimate of time spent on charitable activities by staff members. 

Support costs include staff costs and are those which do not produce a direct output. Staff costs relate to specific activities and this is reflected in the allocation of payroll costs based on the percentage of time spent. 

17 



**FOOTBALL FOR PEACE FOUNDATION** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 February 2025 

All costs, including governance costs, are allocated between the expenditure categories of the charity on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are charged directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis. 

Support costs and overheads have been calculated by allocating staff time to the level of involvement in the various activities of the Charity. 

## **1.6 Taxation** 

The organisation is a registered charity and has no liability to income tax or corporation tax on its charitable activities during the year. 

Value added tax is accounted for on an accruals basis. 

## **1.7 Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are those funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
