## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

Since the charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **a. Policies and objectives** 

At Stevenage Sporting Futures Team, our intention is: 

1) Create opportunities, raise aspiration and positively influence the health and wellbeing of young people through sport and physical activity. 

2) Continue to support schools to deliver High Quality PE and school sport through a coordinated local delivery system, ensuring through collaborative partnering, local needs are met, and the greatest benefit is felt by all young people. 

The guiding principles that will shape our work are to: 

1) Provide a broad and varied range of opportunities for all young people to take part in physical activity, sport and leadership and volunteering. 

2) Support young people to develop healthy and active lifestyles which they can follow through into adult life. 

3) Maximise the impact that PE and sport can have in increasing the achievement and attainment of young people. 

4) Work with partners to provide Continued Professional Development to empower and up skill the workforce delivering PE and sport to young people. 

5) Work with community clubs and partners to maximise opportunities for all young people and support their transition into community sport. 

6) Focus on increasing the home-grown coaching workforce through school based - work based Sporting Apprenticeships linked to Educational & Sporting Futures Training and utilise them within the competitions and festivals delivered by the Stevenage Sporting Futures Team. 

Stevenage Sporting Futures Team has utilised its experienced staff to continue to develop positive opportunities and strategies to tackle the challenges faced with achieving these outcomes. 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** 

## **Objectives and activities (continued)** 

## **b. Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit** 

The trustees of Stevenage Sporting Futures Team confirm that due regard has been paid to the public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission and that in setting and reviewing the strategic objectives of SSFT, they are mindful of Its charitable purpose for public benefit. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. Main achievements of the charity** 

During the 2024–2025 academic year, the School Games and Partnership provision was delivered with staff members visiting schools to deliver programmes, alongside festivals, events, and competitions hosted at various venues across Stevenage and the surrounding areas. Invited and successful teams also took part in events across the county. The subscription cost for the 2024–2025 academic year remained the same as the previous year. 

Across the year, there were over 12,500 attendances at Stevenage Sporting Futures Team (SSFT) provision, including Primary, Secondary, and Teacher Programmes. This included a range of new events, competitions, and opportunities, such as the Ultimate Frisbee Frenzee Festival, Swing Into Golf Festivals, KS1 Crystal Maze Festival, KS1 Superhero Athletics Academy, 10-Pin Bowling, Kin-Ball Festival, Gymnastics CPD, and Inclusion CPD. The Stevenage Sporting Futures Team featured widely across social media platforms through our own and partner schools’ celebratory posts, raising the profile of the organisation and its work. 

At the start of the year, 31 out of 35 local schools continued their annual subscription to the Stevenage Sporting Futures Team, enabling a continued programme of activities. Four schools within Stevenage, although not partner schools, some engaged with funded School Games events. 

The biggest challenges throughout the academic year for partner schools continued to be the rising cost of transport and a lack of school staff availability. Staff and student absences impacted the ability of schools to release personnel for events. Increasing staffing costs meant fewer schools could attend as many events as in previous years, and schools often could not deploy the correct staff members for specific events. The continued and additional use of virtual competitions and online content allowed key elements of the programme to be delivered without requiring staff to be released. Adaptations to events also enabled any staff member to attend without needing to coach or umpire. Furthermore, the increased delivery of provision on school sites was welcomed, as SSFT staff could deliver a wide range of opportunities without impacting school staffing or transport costs. 

There were no changes to the staffing structure from the previous academic year. The Partnership Manager remained in post, continuing to build excellent relationships with schools and local partners. The rest of the Stevenage Sporting Futures Team continued with a Competition Lead, Inclusion Lead, Sports Officer, and Girls Football Lead. This stability allowed for consistent, high-quality delivery of programmes, the expansion of inschool provision, and strengthened relationships with schools, ensuring continued engagement and the successful delivery of events and competitions. 

SSFT were successful in becoming an FA Girls Football Partnership in the 2020–21 academic year, with an annual funded amount of £6,400. The programme is funded until 2028. This funding has enabled SSFT to offer additional events and festivals to promote Girls Football across Stevenage, alongside CPD opportunities for school staff.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

The annual Sports Awards celebration took place in July 2025, with sponsorship received from local partners Complete PE and Great Athletes, who SSFT work with throughout the academic year. Although the event costs slightly exceeded the sponsorship received, this had been planned for in the budget. 

All other costs were forecasted, meaning the budget remained stable throughout the year. 

## **b. Future activities** 

Thirty-one schools have confirmed their intention to continue in the partnership for the 2025–2026 academic year, including Stevenage village schools. The partnership package has once again been offered at full cost, determined by school size and KS1/KS2 roll. The cost of the subscription remains unchanged from 2024–2025. 

The Partnership Primary Schools Provision document has been shared with schools, outlining an active, dynamic, and innovative partnership offering opportunities for all students. SSFT provides a “place in sport for every child,” including developmental events, in-school delivery, and access to the competitive county pathway, ensuring all students benefit from high-quality physical education and mental health support. Key stakeholders, including PE subject leads and headteachers, have been involved in the consultation process to ensure the provision meets their needs. New programmes planned for 2025–2026 include, but are not limited to, Commonwealth Celebration Day, Dodgeball Festival, and EYFS Wild About Nature. 

On 11th June 2025, the PE and School Sports Premium was confirmed for an additional year, extending funding until the end of the 2025–2026 academic year. This complements funding for the School Games programme which is currently being announced in smaller periods, currently up until April 2026. However, this does not affect future funding currently, as the budget is supported by the partner schools buy-in. 

While longer-term funding beyond August 2026 remains uncertain, it was encouraging that the majority of schools committed to the partnership regardless of the sports premium, which had yet to be announced. 

## **Financial review** 

## **a. Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. 

## **b. Reserves policy** 

Stevenage Sporting Futures Team Limited is working towards ensuring that funds are available in each financial year to meet any reasonable foreseeable contingency. The charity will maintain a projection of income and work towards ensuring that this continues to be derived from as wide a variety of sources as possible. They will take all necessary steps to ensure that at no time would it be possible for the cessation of one or more funding streams to present so serious a challenge to the future of the organisation. 

## **Structure, governance and management**

**STEVENAGE SPORTING FUTURES TEAM LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee)** 

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** 

**Structure, governance and management (continued)** 

## **a. Constitution** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees** 

The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed. 

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Stevenage Sporting Futures Team Limited ('the charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report** 

As the Trustees of the charity (and 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 charity 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 the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. 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 

4. 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.

## **STEVENAGE SPORTING FUTURES TEAM LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** 

## **1. General information** 

Stevenage Sporting Futures Team Limited is an incorporated charity registered in England and Wales. The charity registration number, together with the principal address, can be found within the reference and administrative details. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Stevenage Sporting Futures Team Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

## **2.2 Income** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

## **2.3 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## **2.4 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **2.5 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

**STEVENAGE SPORTING FUTURES TEAM LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.6 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost. 

## **2.7 Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **2.8 Pensions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year. 

## **2.9 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted 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.
