## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To relieve the charitable needs of disabled people in particular but not exclusively by the provision of facilities for playing football.
## **The charity's main activities**
The current activities of Bradford Disability Football Club (BDFC) are to pursue, promote and implement opportunities for disabled people in football by:
Actively increasing the number of disabled people playing football. Actively promote awareness of equality.
Link with current local and national initiatives.
Provide advice and assistance to other potential partners.
Raise the profile of disabled football.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
## **Achievements and performance**
We are pleased to report that over the last year, we have been able to get back to our normal activities, following the lockdowns and restrictions last year due to Covid.
This has been a milestone year for our club as we celebrated our 20th anniversary and we were grateful to be able to hold our annual football tournament and a charity dinner to celebrate.
Our tournament was more popular than ever and was fully booked up by clubs attending from across the UK. After not being able to hold our tournament in 2020, it was fantastic to see everybody again and the Bradford pantomime legend Billy Pearce came along as a special guest.
We returned to our usual training venue at Bradford College in May and we would like to thank Fields Sports & Social Club and Southfield Grange for hosting us whilst Bradford College’s facilities were closed for refurbishment.
Our member’s committee have come up with some great ideas for social activities and trips this year, we have had walks in the outdoors, trips to watch England U21’s, an evening out to watch wrestling, 10 pin bowling evenings, crazy golf matches, a trip to the pantomime and many others.
In September we announced our new kit sponsorship with Powersheds and eBay. Sky Sports attended one of our training sessions to film an advert which appeared regularly on TV. Bayo Akinfenwa was the host for the session and he was a great sport, our members loved meeting him
As part of the new sponsorship we were fortunate to be invited along to Bradford City’s final game of the season at Valley Parade as VIP’s and we got to meet a player before the match for a Q&A session.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Bradford Disability Football Club
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 6 to 9.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records.
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.
