Structure, governance and management (continued)
Methods used to recruit and appoint new trustees
Every Trustee (other than a Youth Trustee) is appointed for a period of three years at a General Meeting. A Youth Trustee is appointed for a term of one year or until s/he reached the age of 27, whichever is earlier. A Trustee whose term of office is expiring may be re-appointed for a further term provided that a Youth Trustee may only be re-appointed while s/he remains under the age of 27.
In selecting persons to be appointed as Trustees, the Trustees take into account the benefits of appointing a person who through residence, occupation, employment or otherwise has special knowledge of the Area of Benefit or who is otherwise able by virtue of his or her personal or professional qualifications to make a contribution to the pursuit of the Objects or the management of the Charity.
A person qualified and wishing to become a trustee must be aged 18 years or over and must either be recommended by the Trustees or be nominated for election by a member of the Charity.
Trustee Induction and Training
New Trustees are encouraged to attend short training sessions to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. These cover:
-
The obligations of Trustees.
-
The main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity including the Trust Deed.
-
Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published financial statements.
-
Future plans and objectives.
Trustees are provided with the Charity Commissions guide "the Essential Trustee: What You Need to Know" together with a copy of the Trust Deed and the latest financial statements.
Risk Management
The Trustees review the major risks which the charity faces on an annual basis and believe that the maintaining of reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
Organisational Structure
The Trustees meet at regular intervals during the year to manage its affairs.
During the year, the day to day management has been the responsibility of the Senior Management Team (SMT), comprising Mehrun Ahmed and Simon Hyacinth as Co-CEOs. Day to day responsibility for the provision of services rest with the SMT. The SMT is responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met. The SMT has responsibility for the day to day administrative financial operation of the organisation including identifying, obtaining and managing funding income.

Objectives and activities
The objects of the charitable company are to promote equality of opportunity and good relations between people of different racial groups, especially within the area of benefit, particulary through the medium of football and through other amateur sports and recreational or leisure-time activities.
This will be achieved by:
-
the promotion and development of anti-racist education, in particular of young people up to the age of 26;
-
increasing the active participation of ethnic minorities within all aspects of amateur sport and other recreational and leisure-time activities intended to improve their conditions of life;
-
securing a safe environment for people from all communities to participate in amateur sports and other recreational and leisure-time activities.
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
Achievements and performance
The organisation has grown steadily over the years and includes employability workers and specialist workers to deliver projects to combat isolation and loneliness, as well as a dedicated team of coaches, youth workers and project workers, plus part-time staff and volunteer workers. FURD works closely alongside national organisations such as Kick It Out, as well as European bodies, in particular Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE Network); former FURD Director and current Chair of FURD Trustees, Howard Holmes is an active member of the FARE Network.
FURD continues to manage the facilities on behalf of Sheffield City Council who allow FURD to occupy spaces, rent free in exchange for managing the premises on Sheffield City Council's behalf.
FURD remains a local organisation, but with connections on a national and international scale. This community focus is evident in FURD's wider activities - as well as the educational activities, the charity runs a number of youth volunteering projects and a social inclusion through sport initiatives.
FURD runs a comprehensive, free or heavily subsidised, coaching programme, and offers support and advice to local teams to equip them to enter organised leagues and tournaments. The charity specialises in help for asylum-seekers and refugees to participate in football and runs an annual All Nations tournament and league aimed at groups of displaced people living in and around Sheffield.
FURD's website offers a wide range of educational resources online, including biographies of pioneering black footballers, statistics about diversity in professional football, and an archive of articles and testimonies. The articles deal with questions of gender and religion as well as ethnic minorities, and include academic studies, statements by politicians and policymakers, and statements by professional footballers recounting their own personal experiences.
FURD also runs educational programmes in schools, colleges. The charity also offers help for teachers and youth workers interested in organising their own events. FURD maintains an archive and resources centre which visitors can consult, or request information from. The library contains over 1.000 resources available for public loan, and the catalogue is searchable from the website.
During the period, the trust continued to provide safe access to football activities for BAMER communities. This included involvement in ad-hoc UK football events as well as day to day coaching and education workshops;

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 30 September 2021
Financial review
The management committee has examined the charitable company's requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. It believes that unrestricted funds amounting to approximately 6 months of normal expenditure should be the target for it so that in the event of a significant drop in funding the current activities may be continued. The current level of reserves will hopefully be maintained as time goes by within this target level.
A surplus of £95,424 (2020: £72,233) was obtained for the current financial year. Reserves are now £323,059 (2020: £227,635) of which £193,450 is unrestricted and £129,609 is restricted. Expenditure in the current financial year is £294,950 (2020: £243,783) giving a reserves target of £147,475 (2020: £121,892). Total reserves are above the target range with the available reserves standing at £323,059. Future costs are anticipated to deplete the available reserves during the next financial period.
Principal Funding Sources
The principal funding sources for the charity are currently as disclosed in note 5 to the financial statements.
Investment Policy
The Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing the funds subject to the overriding requirement of maintaining liquidity of funds. The Trustees are using a bank deposit account to earn interest on funds not immediately required.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity in line with Charity Commission guidance. This included analysing existing funds, considering possible future funding and taking in the expenditure to which the organisation will be committed. In response to the substantial unknown factors, the Trustees considered that sufficient reserves were needed to maintain the organisation's services which could otherwise be interrupted in the event of a delayed decision about grant or service agreement funding. Should it become necessary to wind up the operation of the Trust, the reserves would enable the organisation to meet its obligations to beneficiaries, suppliers, staff (including redundancy payments) and others. The Trust seeks to maintain or attain sufficient unrestricted reserves in the advent of such situations.
Opportunities will be taken to generate sufficient unrestricted reserves and this policy will be reviewed annually.
Future Developments
As an anti-racist charity based in the heart of Sharrow, a multi-cultural inner-city area of Sheffield.
"FURD is deeply embedded within the community, which ensures that we remain focused on tackling the issues that are most important to our local community. We have continual key areas for development, including a focus on reaching out to other marginalised groups with the overall goal of building stronger connected communities and break down barriers based on ignorance and fear."
"We will continue to build our volunteering, social cohesion and sport-based programmes, in order to encompass all ages. In addition we will seek to find further funding to support our work with refugees and asylum seekers. We will reach out to communities with offers that have the potential to create a lasting legacy through greater understanding of the diversity of disadvantage and how sport can act as a cohesive tool for bridging across and bonding within communities."

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Football Unites Racism Divides Educational Trust
Year ended 30 September 2021
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Football Unites Racism Divides Educational Trust ('the charity') for the year ended 30 September 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
The trustees (who are also the directors of Football Unites Racism Divides Educational Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charitable company is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independant examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the account under section 145 of the 2011 act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
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.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Football Unites Racism Divides Educational Trust (continued)
Year ended 30 September 2021
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are 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 donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
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:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 30 September 2021
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Government grants (continued)
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.
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.
4. Limited by guarantee
The charitable company is a company limited by guarantee, and each of the members has guaranteed the sum of £1 in the event of the charitable company being wound up.

Purpose of restricted funds
Children In Need
Children In Need provides funding to deliver football, music and general youth club activities and opportunities, including coaching sessions, tournaments and events, for young people; many of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds and/or live in deprived areas of Sheffield.
Comic Books
A series of comic books documenting black players' significant contribution to the professional game, by telling their very interesting stories; beginning with Arthur Wharton, the first black professional footballer, and progressing on to recent greats such as Cyrille Regis.
Building Connections
Building Connections - is a three year project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. The aims of the project is to bring together vulnerable adults who are experiencing poor mental health and loneliness.
Henry Smith
The Phoenix Employability programme is funded by the Henry Smith charity and seeks to work with young people aged 16 to 24 years who are furthest away from the labour market.
Sheffield Healthy Holidays Activities and Food HAF
The aim of 'Holiday Activities and Food' is to make sure that children are happy and healthy during the holidays, it is particularly aimed at disadvantaged children i.e. those most in need. FURD were commissioned by Sharrow Community Forum to deliver music and football sessions for children in the area. The project targeted primary, junior and secondary school aged children who were on meanstested free school meals, the aim being to offer activities during the school (summer) holidays of 2021. FURD worked in partnership with a number of local community organisations, to deliver the sessions and supply nutritional lunchtime meals.
Covid 19 Emergency Funding
FURD applied for emergency funding to the Big Lottery Community fund following the continuous reports of people from BAME backgrounds being disproportionately affected by COVID19. BAME communities were very isolated and felt better when interacting with others and sharing their experiences. We aimed to bridge the cultural gap through shared experiences via various mediums such as music, interviews, written and verbal, online surveys, 121s and an online support groups.
The funding was used to hire specialities workers who had experience of working within mental health to deliver music sessions, sports and other wellbeing workshops and other positive activities. Our objectives were to give the local BAME communities a voice and safe space to share their stories. Our support model included having an open line of communication between the organisation and beneficiaries and ensuring they are aware that FURD can offer peer support, practical advice and opportunities to to develop skills. The core volunteers group not only built our online presence but was able to offer one to one support to the local BAME communities such as weekly walks and creative writing sessions online to capture their experiences via song writing or spoken word.
