Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 August 2022
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 August 2022. 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The purpose of the charity is to provide mentoring, coaching and education to children from disadvantaged backgrounds to enable them to have access to sports they otherwise would not be able to afford and to help them realise their potential through sport. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charities aims for the year. This is shown by providing sporting activities to advance health, educate about life skills and values as well as provide access to children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Significant activities
In the financial year to 31 August 2022 the charity saw a number of achievements. Following successful pilot programmes where athlete mentors visited schools and ran training sessions and where the charity ran holiday camps the charity expanded its activities to include PE coaching within schools and the provision of after school clubs.
This growth into new schools meant that more disadvantaged children could be reached through sporting provision. For each club/provision the charity provided 1in 5 spaces completely free. In addition grants received from Brent Councils HAF programme enabled the charity to run very successful holiday camps where up to 80% of children attended completely for free. This was an amazing opportunity to benefit the children who had a safe space to go, a hot meal everyday and an opportunity to try lots of different sports with expert coaches. In addition this was hugely beneficial to the parents who were able to continue to work or look after other family members.
The objectives set prior to the financial year to 31 August 2022 were to expand the charity into more schools in order to reach more disadvantaged children and to build upon the success of the previous holiday camp moving it to a new larger location and welcoming more children. These were both achieved during this financial period.
Other fundraising in the year to 31 August 2022 period met basic expectations and partnerships with HAF meant that holiday camps were very successful and able to meet their intended aim of providing free spaces to as many children as possible. The charity had considerable success in procuring value in kind donations of equipment, use of facilities. Volunteers and food donations. Relationships with the schools have been very positive with the majority allowing the charity to use their space and equipment for free. This enables prices to be kept to a reasonable level for paying parents while as many children as possible can attend for free.
Public benefit
The charity furthers its charitable purpose for the public benefit through running clubs and activities organised in such a way as to allow children from disadvantaged backgrounds to attend for free.
This enables the charity to meet its purpose of enabling children from disadvantaged backgrounds to access sports that they would otherwise be unable to experience.
The main activities undertaken by the charity in order to achieve its aims are
-
After school club for primary age.
-
Holiday camps from age 5-15
-
Football coaching from age 5-13
-
PE Coaching for primary age.
By focusing on these areas the charity is able to position top quality sports coaches within schools so that the coaching can be accessed by all regardless of income.This not only provides physical benefits but also has a positive impact on mental health and social skills. The children learn to interact with others and play as part of a team while experiencing the positive impact of exercise on their mental and physical health.

-

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Income for the year increased considerably from the previous year as a result of the increase in the provision of clubs and PE coaching. Expenditure also increased due to the increase in contractors required to deliver the programme and the increased cost of permanent assistance. The charity recorded net income of £1,182 in the year, compared to net income of £3,631 for the period to 31st August 2021. At 31 August 2022 net funds amounted to £6,351.
Principal funding sources
The principal source of funds is the sporting activities and PE run across the schools. These funds are then utilised to provide spaces for free to disadvantaged children.
Grant funding was a principal funding stream for the holiday camps.
In the year to 31 August 2022, R4UK received value in kind donations which came to a total value of £81,865
R4UK worked with several partners who provided these donations for free of charge venues, equipment & food donations.
Reserves policy
The charity aims to hold at least three months operating reserves at any time as part of its overall business plan. At 31 August 2022, this level of reserves was not in place, however, work in the pipeline meant that the charity was secure and working towards this objective,
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
As a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006, the charity is controlled by its governing document, its Memorandum & Articles of Association.
Charity constitution
The Charity is set up as a company limited by guarantee.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
