Total incoming resources increased by 1Yo to £3.871.853. The level of core grant fundlng from the

Financially, rt has been another successful year for Ihe Charlty, It leaves the charlty on a strong
footing to mitigate any fvture challenges. including potenlial relegation from the Prami8r League
and the a850clated drop In core grant fundlng. and tho ongolng upward pre88ure on staffing costs.
The charlty's fvndlng sources are dlverse. thus reduclng the rlsk of a decllne In Income from any
partlcular source. The prlnclpal lundlng sourcès of the ¢haNty are as follows:

Charitable Fund. Ihe EFL TrusL Ihe Football Associalion, Ihe National Lottery. BBC Children In
Ne8d. Bumley 8orough Councll. the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Tnjsl. the Veterans

In the case of the Premler League and the Premler League Charitsble Fund, the grant fundlng

the football club's division is outslde the control of the charity. Whilst relegatlon from the Premier

The objective of having free reserves Is to enable the charfty to cope wrth unplanned events. Very often,
Ihe effects of an unplanned event can be managed in the long-lem. but Ihe chaftty needs reserves In
Ihe meantime.
The trustees are worklng tOW8rd8 maintalnlng an overall tsrg•l l•v•l for free reserves which is
èqulvalent to two months, not operating costs, where fixed 88sets are di$¢ounted when calcul8tlng the
18vel of resenies for the charity. The truslees believe this level is appropriate slnce the charlty has
relatively predictable and diverse income streams. making it unlikely that all Income wlll reduce at once.
Furthormorè. some staff are on fixed-term or casual contracts which can be terminated quIc￿Y followlng
drop In fundlng.
The trustees must monitor and ￿VIeW Ihe level of reserves at least annually. In Iln8 wlth the guidance
issued by the Charity Cornmission: however, the level of reser¥es is rnonitored throughout the year 85

The trustees acknowledge that Ihe level of resenies for Ihe tharty changes during the year and could
either b8 8 good indicator of the undedying financial health of Ihe charity., or could be an indlrAtor of
potentlal problems.
