REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 May 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
A list of current trustees is provided on page 1.
New trustees are selected by invitation of the existing trustees, to fill any vacancy in the management of the trust, so as to recruit an individual possessing the specific training and experience required for that role.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The principal activity continues to be the provision of junior football and will remain so in the future. During the year the club has continued work on its ground and facilities, to enable the club to provide higher quality football training and match facilities. Work will continue to fund and develop this facility, which has been granted material funding from The Football Foundation.
Public benefit
The Trustees have reviewed their statutory duties and remain satisfied that the Club operates in the public benefit through the resources it offers junior footballers.
Volunteers
The charity is dependent on volunteers for the running of the junior football teams and would like to thank them all, as without them the charity would not function.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The 2024/2025 season saw the overall club's membership and number of teams remain stable at 653 players across 34 teams. Although we continue to see older boys' teams struggle sometimes to retain players, this reduction in numbers is offset by the increase in girls joining the club and the waiting lists operated by squads from U5 to U15. The constraints on membership growth continue to be access to the pitches needed to support the formats of Football that we focus on.
The number of volunteers remains strong and has grown to 144 coaches and 23 trust/committee members and volunteers. On behalf of the trustees and the club's committee, I would like to thank all the volunteers who give up their free time to make us such a great club.
The flow of funds to support the development of the new clubhouse are still unclear as it depends on the completion and sale of a residential development on Yew Tree Lane in Harrogate, however the club is continuing the preparation work.
Fundraising activities
The club's key fundraising activities are:
Kit Sponsorship - all kits are sponsored through connections and relationships with local businesses. Donations - the club receives donations from individuals in the form of membership and match fees and from local organisations for sponsorship.
Club merchandise - the club sells branded and unbranded merchandise through a third party web site from which the club receives a commission.
Investment performance
The trustees consider the level of bank interest received acceptable given the need to maintain accessibility to deposit funds.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 May 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
It was agreed that the Investment Policy is for the Club's funds to be retained at the bank to be available for the Club's activities. The trustees are satisfied with the return on the bank accounts as they feel it is important to have instant access to funds to facilitate the continuing development of the football ground.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Reserves policy
The Accounts were considered, discussed and approved. The Club remains in a healthy position. The Trustees believe that with the development of the ground, the Club has achieved its aim of securing a base for the next 25-30 years. As such the Club's Reserves Policy will be to direct fundraising activities exclusively for the preparation of pitches and the construction of a club house.
On an ongoing basis, however, the Trustees are pleased to note that the income received from all sources allows the Club to continue to run 34 teams for boys and girls throughout the age groups.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
The charity is controlled by its Articles of Association dated 4 March 2013, and amended on the 19 March 2013, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
History
Pannal Sports Junior Football Club was founded in 1966 and has been providing football services to children continuously for over 50 years. The club operated within local league guidelines for many years. In 2002 the club formally adopted the Football Association club management procedures and achieved Chartered Club Status in 2007 and has maintained this status ever since.
Pannal Sports JFC, registered with the Charity Commission in 2013, is the successor charity to the former Pannal Sports JFC Limited, first registered in 2004 and formally dissolved in 2013 on legal advice to improve the governance of the club.
The day to day management of the club is executed by a committee made up of the formal roles of Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer and representatives of players' parents and coaches who perform key roles including child protection and fund raising. All of the trustees are active members of the committee.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the financial risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. In the opinion of the trustees, the existing financial controls are adequate for the scope and extent of the transactions involved. These controls include multiple cheque signatories, formal controls on all expenditure, limiting acceptance of cash payments and monthly reviews of the accounts.
The trustees identified the need to include additional appropriate financial controls to support the investment in the new ground. Part of these additional measures has been to employ the services of Baty Casson Long, who have more experience with charities, to prepare and examine the accounts as well as provide additional financial management advisory services.
Child protection, safety and welfare is a key risk management activity. The club has a qualified Child Protection Officer who ensures that all club officials who come into contact with the children have been checked and cleared by the Disclosure and Barring Service performed by the Football Association. In a addition to this all coaches undertake training provided by the Football Association and have, as a minimum, passed Level 1. Child Welfare training and basic first aid are included in Level 1 training.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PANNAL SPORTS JFC
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Pannal Sports JFC ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 May 2025.
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').

Independent examiner's statement
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:

-
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.
