FOOTBALL BEYOND BORDERS

Foreword from the Chair For the year ended 31 August 2020

Introduction from the Chair of the Board of Trustees

I am pleased to be writing this introduction as the Chair of Football Beyond Borders (FBB).

I was delighted to be appointed as chair following an extensive recruitment process in the summer and am excited about what the future holds for the organisation. It combines the core values of youth work with an impressive commitment to a diverse, talented and ambitious team who are driven by a purpose to ensure young people develop the necessary skills and grades to make a successful transition into adulthood.

I would also like to express my sincere thanks on behalf of the board and everyone at FBB to my predecessor Richard Wheeler who led the board as interim chair through an unprecedented time in our history as we responded to the Covid-19 pandemic. We are delighted that Richard has agreed to remain a trustee and valued board member.

The last 12 months will be a year that we will never forget. The onset of Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdowns ensured that it was very much a year of two halves for the organisation.

Before the pandemic there were two main priorities.

Firstly the sign off of our 3 year organisational strategic plan (2020-2023). This outlined plans to codify our programme to ensure readiness for national scale, supported by the doubling of our income and staff team.

The second priority was to deliver our largest ever event to date. The FBB Annual Showcase in February 2020 delivered in partnership with corporate partner Gillette, at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, felt like a seminal moment for the organisation. Joined by keynote speaker, the former footballer and pundit Ian Wright, our young people took centre stage to share countless moving testimonies. The impact of the FBB programme on their lives was clear and guests left with a sense of optimism for the future.

In many ways it felt like a seminal moment for the charity with more momentum and interest in FBB than at any time since its formation as a charity in 2014. A month later and with the onset of Covid-19 in the UK, we entered into a very different phase. From mid March to mid May, the board met weekly to navigate the challenges presented by the lockdown and ensure stability for the organisation.

It was impressive to see how the organisation adapted to the pandemic. Galvanised by an internal mantra ‘every young person, every week’ and the launch of the FBB Virtual School, the team embarked on new fundraising efforts to recover lost forecast income. This resulted in us surpassing annual fundraising targets by 30% and with new internal regulations brought in to ensure financial prudence, we ended the year in a strong position.

This Annual Return tells a story of significant progress in our impact model, continued growth and increased financial security, and all this in the face of significant external challenges.

We are delighted by another year of progress in the development of our FBB Schools programme. This year we worked with 761 students across 46 programmes, from September 2019 to August 2020. Of these students 28% of our young people were identified as being at risk of exclusion and 50% were identified as being passive learners. 98% of our students went on to finish the academic year in school.

After such a turbulent year, we were proud to see that 78% of our programme graduates the English and Maths GCSE (compared to 56% nationally of students eligible for Pupil Premium) which we know are the key stepping stones to adult life. I want to extend my congratulations to all of them for their hard work and success.

The support of headline partners with Gillette, Impetus and Nike was invaluable to support our plans to continue developing our programme and offer consistent support to young people.

Foreword from the Chair For the year ended 31 August 2020

We pride ourselves on our working culture which is underpinned by a commitment to creating a relational, representative and developmental workplace. We were pleased to see the creation of two representative groups (the race and women’s group) as well as the formation of a Youth Board and appointment of our first Youth Trustee, Barak Ngoma who is an FBB programme graduate.

We go into the next academic year with significant momentum behind us, both in terms of both our impact and business model. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our staff team, our Board of Trustees and our Committee members. I want to take this opportunity to thank them for all they have given this year.

FOOTBALL BEYOND BORDERS

Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 August 2020

The Trustees submit their report and the financial statements of Football Beyond Borders (“the Charity”) for the year ended 31 August 2020. The financial statements have been prepared in the format prescribed by the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP2015 (FRS102)) (revised 1 January 2020) and the Financial Reporting Standard 102. The legal and administrative information set out earlier in this document forms part of this report. This report also constitutes a directors’ report required by section 415 of the Companies Act 2006 as all Trustees of a charity company are directors.

1. Structure, Governance & Management

1.1. Trustees

The Trustees meet at least four times annually to discuss a full range of matters relating to strategy, project work, recruitment, finance and general administration.

The induction process for any individual newly-appointed to the Board of Trustees comprises – in addition to our statutory safeguarding requirements as set out in Department for Education and Charities Commission guidance - an initial meeting with at least two of the Trustees (whenever possible one of these two Trustees being the Chair) and receipt of copies of:

The Trustees were delighted to complete the recruitment of Matt Stevenson-Dodd as Chair of the Board of Trustees in September 2020. Matt brings a fantastic combination of operational and Board experience to the role through his time as CEO of Street League and Trust Impact alongside his work on the boards of the Sport for Development Coalition, People’s Postcode and St John’s Ambulance. Throughout a rigorous recruitment process, Matt showed himself to be the ideal candidate for this next stage of the organisation’s growth.

Alongside the appointment of a new Chair, much of the Board’s focus this year has been on navigating the operational and financial challenges created by Covid-19. Our previous set of accounts detailed the cost reductions and programme decisions taken in response to the early stage of the pandemic. This combination of maintaining the quality of our programme for our young people, whether in person or online, alongside ongoing cost controls has enabled the organisation to remain financially secure throughout the past 12 months. FBB have continued to deliver almost all of its services during this time due to the move to create a Virtual School. The success of this Virtual School in providing academic and social and emotional support to those young people whom schools were struggling to reach has in turn enabled the organisation to attract additional funding to make up for a significant part of the income initially lost due to Covid-19.

Each year it’s the trustees’ responsibility to state whether or not the annual accounts have been drawn up on a going concern basis. Going concern is the assumption that an entity, in this case the charity, has the resources (financial or otherwise) needed to continue operating for the foreseeable future and, in particular, for at least 12 months from the date of approval by the trustees of these accounts. If the going concern principle did not apply then the accounts would be drawn up on an insolvent basis.

As with last year, as part of this year’s going concern review, the trustees have had to consider the likely impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on its operations. The board has concluded that the financial risks to those operations have increased significantly as a result of the lockdown restrictions imposed by the Government and the closure of schools and facilities. However, on submitting these accounts in May 2021, the Board remain confident the charity is a going concern for the next 12 months, regardless of whether the current progress in vaccination and reduced infection rates continues. This is based on a detailed review of the organisation’s latest month end closing balance, level of unrestricted reserves and our funding pipeline (both secure and target) as evidenced by our cashflow forecast.

FOOTBALL BEYOND BORDERS

Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 August 2020

1.2 Finance, Governance, and Risk Committee (FGRC)

The FGRC was set up in October 2019 to provide additional oversight and expertise to these fundamental areas of the organisation in accordance with the Charity Governance Code. The Committee is formed by a minimum of two Members of the Board of Trustees (Ian Gethin and Zoya Wallington) and three Non-Executive Directors (Ahmed Salim, Andrew Roberts and Samara Lawrence) with specialist expertise in the areas such as risk management, charity law, governance, compliance and charity finance.

There were no changes to the membership of the Committee during the period of these accounts.

All activities of the FGRC are shaped by the Committee’s Charter which was established by the Board of Trustees upon the Committee’s formation in 2019.

We have summarised below where progress has been made against each category of the charter:

The separate categories for the charter and key comments against each are listed below:

  1. External Audit/Examiner. In the previous year, Brindley Millen Ltd was selected as the auditor by the Board of Trustees following a tendering process with quotes received from 11 different auditors. We continued with the same auditor for this financial year.

  2. Internal Controls. The successful recruitment of a qualified accountant as Finance Manager has enabled us to make good progress on Internal Controls. The organisation has established a new expenditure controls policy to ensure that all expenditure is properly authorized, reviewed and accounted for.

  3. Risk Management. Following the review of our risk management approach in the previous set of accounts, we’ve made good progress in embedding this new approach across this financial year. Members of the Senior Leadership Team are regularly reviewing and updating risks in their department and these risks are informing strategic decisions and resource allocation at Executive and Board level.

  4. Annual Financial Statements. Fulfilled the charter mandate with FGRC reviewing and approving the latest annual accounts after holding a call to discuss the draft accounts with management and the accountant engaged to prepare the accounts, and then approving the final set of accounts following review by the auditor.

  5. Financial Reporting. The recruitment of a Finance Manager has supported significant progress on this item with implementation of the Xero accounting system and development of key finance metrics. FGRC, Board and Exec now have consistent information to review and interrogate historic financial performance. Financial reporting is built around a monthly information pack including 18 month cashflow forecast, performance against budget, and aged receivables / payables.

  6. Treasury and Cash Management. No progress on this item due to satisfaction with existing arrangements. This is likely to be a priority area for change next year.

Overall, it is felt that committee has made progress in the key areas of financial reporting, internal controls, risk management and reviewing annual financial statements.

1.3 Risk Management

The Trustees acknowledge that they have a responsibility for the identification and proper management of risks faced by the Charity in achieving its primary aims. The Trustees have therefore assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those relating to the specific operational areas of delivering services in schools, its investments and its finances. A particular focus of risk management for the period of the accounts was on the additional risks created by Covid-19. The Trustees sought to mitigate risk in this area, by monitoring reserve levels, by ensuring that controls exist over key financial systems, and by examining the operational risks faced by the charity.

Following the FGRC’s review of risk management discussed in the previous Financial Statements, much of the focus for this year was on embedding this revised approach. The table below sets out a summary of the key risks which the organisation identified and worked to mitigate during this period.

2. Programmes and Impact

Our Mission

FBB supports young people who are passionate about football but disengaged at school in order to help them finish school with the skills and grades to make a successful transition into adulthood. We do this by providing long-term, intensive support, built around relationships and young people’s passions, in the classroom and beyond.

Finish School: 98% of our young people finished the year in school. Skills: 60% of our young people improved their SEL scores over the course of the year. Grades: 78% of our young people achieved a Level 4 or above in their English and maths GCSEs.

FOOTBALL BEYOND BORDERS

Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 August 2020

In line with our trajectory over the past six years, 2019-20 was another year of growth for FBB. 761 participants took part in more than 3 FBB sessions, and were part of our tracked cohort, which was a 24% increase in participants from the previous year.

Of the 761 young people we worked with this year, 567 (75%) were boys, and 194 (25%) were girls. We continued to grow our reach in the North West, expanding from 93 young people in 2018-19 to 222 in 2019-20.

FBB Schools:

In 2019-2020, all of our programmes centred around our core FBB Schools programme. We codified the FBB Schools programme strands so that everything we do supports a young person to achieve the outcomes of improved social and emotional skills and their GCSE Level 4 or above in English and Maths. The programme pillars are as follows:

  1. Classroom

  2. Pitch

  3. Trips

  4. Interventions

Because of the huge impact of being unable to deliver our work in schools due to Covid, the year has to be split into two areas: pre-pandemic and during lockdown.

- FBB Schools (pre pandemic)
Sessions delivered 849 (in Term 1 and 2)
Total Session Hours 1698 (in term 1 and 2)
Session Attendance 83% (in T1 and T2) (up from 81.6% in 2018-19)

Our programme is run in partnership with secondary schools across the UK. This year, the pandemic has demonstrated the role that schools play: they are a vital community for every young person. They are not just about attainment, but provide a space for social and emotional growth, positive adult and peer relationships, and foster a sense of safety and security in a young person's life.

According to the Education Endowment Foundation’s extensive research, social and emotional learning (SEL) is most effective when taught explicitly. We do this through our bespoke SEL curriculum, which works through each CASEL competency in six-week classroom projects. The football sessions then allow young people to put these skills into practice. For FBB, the football pitch is a safe space for our young people to experience, reflect on and learn from both positive and negative emotions.

For the most at-risk young people, therapeutic support is needed in addition to the SEL curriculum as it provides the space for intensive, relational work on the underlying causes of their disruptive behaviour.

Although the year was cut short due to school closures, we are delighted that 98% of our young people finished the year in school. Nationally, school exclusions increase annually between the ages of 10-14, whilst this is not the case for FBB participants. The rate at which young people on an FBB programme are excluded or manage-moved declines as young people spend more time with FBB.

Outcomes

Preventing Exclusions

This year 98% of our young people finished the year in school. 93% of our At Risk cohort were not excluded or managemoved from school (183 of 195 participants). 99% of our Passive Learners and Role Model participants were not excluded from school (496 of 499 participants).

GCSE Results

78% of our programme graduates achieved a Level 4 or above in their English and maths GCSEs compared to 56% for disadvantaged students nationally.

88% achieved a Level 4 or above in English Language and/or English Literature.

80% achieved a Level 4 or above in maths.

Social and Emotional Learning

60% of our young people improved their SEL scores over the course of the year.

68% of our young people who were at risk of exclusion improved their SEL skills.

Young people who were in their second year of FBB had slightly stronger SEL scores than young people in Year 1 of the programme.

FBB Virtual School (during the lockdown)

We launched the FBB Virtual School in April 2020 after a rapid design sprint across six days: a process that enabled us to establish exactly what young people were experiencing and how we could best support them in the new digital world.

Conducting over twelve hours of consultation directly with the people who matter most to our programme – young people, their parents, our frontline staff and partner schools – allowed us to decipher and define the problem our digital delivery model needed to solve. The problem was that young people were lacking structure and routine, missing their friends, and struggling to complete school work without the help of teachers. Then the FBB staff team generated ideas to meet these needs, and we prototyped the ones we had most confidence in and established our approach to testing as quickly as we could. We wanted to ensure that our digital programme kept young people on track to develop the social and emotional skills that are so vital to living a fulfilled life, and knew would be most challenged by a lockdown context.

When the Covid-19 pandemic reached the UK, FBB acted quickly to pull our staff out of schools on the Monday before lockdown was announced. We were then faced with a decision: do we stop all of our operations and programmes and prepare for the next academic year, or do we try and support our participants in whatever way possible? FBB’s core values - ‘ We put young people first’ and ‘ We care’ - meant that there was only one real possibility. So, we entered lockdown determined to turn the crisis into an opportunity.

Testimonials

“We have had the privilege and opportunity to be part of the Football Beyond Borders Programme (FBB) an incredible organisation which has created meaningful change at Harrop Fold School and the lasting impact in terms of the evident impact the programme has made, it can be described as nothing but magical. The value of FBB to our school is that football offers an incredible pathway to learning life skills. Football has helped the boys build confidence on and off the field and taught them how to grow through moments of success and disappointment. We saw firsthand how the FBB Programme changed the boys involved; exclusion rates in some cases were non-existent (and significantly reduced in others); attendance rates significantly improved and a significant improvement in their general presentation towards staff/peers and attitude towards school and their studies. We saw, firsthand, how the programme using football as the driver brought the young people and school back together.”

Emma Atkinson, Associate Headteacher, Harrop Fold School

“FBB have been amazing these last two years, their ability to connect in a positive light with some of our most challenging and complex students has been outstanding. The team which have been part of our school community, go above and beyond to provide life changing experiences to our young people. Even through these unprecedented times the FBB team have maintained regular contact with the cohort of students, providing constant reassurance during this strange time. I personally would like to thank every single member of the team as they have made a monumental impact on the students they have worked with but also on the Sedgehill community.”

James Potter, Deputy Headteacher, Sedgehill School

“FBB has helped to support students' emotional and social well being. The in-class sessions have positively influenced students' ability to overcome problems in a logical and emotionally intelligent way. This in turn has promoted the acceptance of the ideas and input of others, whilst also allowing students to work collaboratively to come to a conclusion. Not only has this increased students' confidence levels, but also allowed them to form friendships with others external to those they would ordinarily socialise with. This has really promoted a sense of acceptance and family, with students increasing their knowledge and understanding of the cultures, traditions, religions and backgrounds of other students and the wider community.”

Michelle Peavoy, Assistant Vice Principal, Coop Academy Manchester

“Historically, boys have been more difficult to engage in our school. FBB have been able to tap into something that they all love (football) and use this as a channel of communication. It has allowed the practitioners to form strong relationships with the students. The boys have really opened up and, consequently, addressed some of the barriers to their learning.” Bradley Cornish, Assistant Principal: KS3 Achievement, Saint Gabriel's College

The Trustees would like to thank the staff and pupils of the following schools who have helped to make these achievements possible: Archbishop Lanfranc Academy, Archbishop Tenison’s School, Bacon’s College, Beauchamps High School, Chestnut Grove Academy, Chorlton High School, Coop Academy Manchester, Evelyn Grace Academy, Harris Garrard, Harris Morden, Harris Peckham Academy, Harrop Fold School, Haverstock, Hyndburn Academy, Kemnal Technology College, Ladybridge Community School, Marsden Heights Community College, Salford City Academy, Sedgehill School, Saint Gabriel's College, St Joseph’s College, St Mark’s Academy, St Mary Magdalene C of E School, The Albion Academy, The Barlow RC High School, The Elmgreen School, Totteridge Academy, Unity School, Walthamstow Academy, William Hulme Grammar School, Woodlands Academy.

We also would like to thank the staff and pupils at the following Alternative Provision and Primary Schools: Beckmead Family of Schools, CSS Children’s Support Services, Educational Diversity, Harris Aspire Academy Sandringham Primary School.

Coverage

The FBB youth brand continues to grow. This was exemplified by our Annual Showcase event which saw over 500 guests attend at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in partnership with Gillette. Former footballer and pundit Ian Wright was our special guest and the evening featured a campaign launch with England footballer Raheem Sterling.

Lockdown forced us to be innovative. This began with the launch of the digital launch of our FBB Virtual School which featured regular publication of our young people’s work whilst also providing an opportunity for young people to take part in a range of well being and educational activities that were uploaded onto our social media channels. Highlights included a special lockdown ‘Football Challenge’ video featuring our young people and an array of football stars including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Aaron Wan Bissaka, Phil Foden and Chris Smalling.

There was also the launch of ‘Isolation Diaries’. The series which spanned across a six month period, featured a selection of FBB participants, parents and staff who provided a weekly diary entry from their bedrooms documenting the impact of the lockdown. It became a weekly staple across our social media channels and serves as a special historical record of this unprecedented time. We received plaudits for these efforts, through the awarding of the Social & Environmental Impact award at the Sports Industry Awards and the Education award from the Centre for Social Justice.

Our social media channels continue to grow with over 50,000 followers across all of our channels, which is impressive for a charity of our size.

And finally, a huge thank you to all those involved with the FBB2020 Challenge who raised more than £25,000 to support our work.

3.1 Financial Activity and Financial Position

The Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and Statement of Cashflows can be found on pages 18, 19 and 20 respectively. The Charity’s reserves increased by £674,842 (2019: increased by £115,576). The balance sheet shows total net assets of £1,183,155 (2019: £508,313). Cash increased £531,836 from £432,885 to £964,721.

Included in total funds are amounts totalling £235,476 (2019: £56,643) which are restricted. These monies have either been raised for, and their use restricted to, specific purposes, or they comprise grants subject to grantor imposed conditions. Full details of these restricted funds can be found in note 8 to the accounts together with an analysis of movements in the year.

3.2 Reserves Policy

In August 2020, the Board of Trustees reviewed and amended the organisation’s reserves policy to require a higher level of reserves to be maintained. This is as a result of our increased size and reach as an organisation. Football Beyond Borders’ reserves policy is to maintain a sufficient level of reserves to enable operating activities to be continued, taking account of potential risks and contingencies that may arise from time to time. The Board of Trustees has set the charity's reserves requirement as a target range between three to four months of normal operating expenditure. This corresponds to one school term, which is the basis of the charity's invoicing cycle. At 31 August 2020 the Charity had net free reserves of £852,660 (2019: £435,554) as follows:

The organisation’s current reserve levels are currently at 5.73 months budgeted routine expenditure. The Trustees are aware that this falls slightly above the upper end of the target reserve level. Given the uncertainty over the short to medium term fundraising and economic climate along with the forecast expansion of our programme reach, the Trustees are

12

FOOTBALL BEYOND BORDERS

Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 August 2020

satisfied that these additional reserves are justified in the short term without adjusting our long-term expectation for reserve levels. The Trustees will review the charity’s reserves requirements at the end of the next financial year, once the short-term uncertainty created by Covid has been reduced.

3.3 Key Management Remuneration

The Trustees carry out an annual pay review to ensure that the charity’s pay levels are fair, competitive and an effective use of Charity funds.

4. Plans for Future Periods

We are driven by a national crisis. School exclusions have risen by 40% in the past 3 years, Students from low income backgrounds continue to receive worse grades than their better off peers at GCSE. Issues related to poor adolescent mental health continue to rise. The demand for our programme continues to grow.

To tackle this national crisis, we want to become the leading specialist provision for disengaged Key Stage 3 (11-14 years old) students in the UK. To achieve this, we will need to have a track record of delivering impactful programmes in multiple regions of England. We will need to have a codified programme which is ready for replication along with the internal operations to support rapid growth in activities.

As we grow we want to maintain the working culture which has been one of the cornerstones of FBB’s success to date. Scaling a relational, developmental and representative working culture is a challenge, but one that we are committed to achieving. We will do this by working with graduates from our programmes as Educational Assistants, and employing individuals with lived experience and cultural competency across all functions of the organisation, particularly those working directly with young people.

In order to achieve our ambitious growth targets of 92 programmes and over 2000 weekly participants by 2023, over the next three years we want to create a sustainable funding model that ensures we tackle growing societal needs whilst maintaining financial independence. At the heart of this strategy will be the target of school income contributing a minimum of 33% of our full programme costs by August 2023. We will combine this with our financial red lines of no more than 60% of our income from restricted grants and no more than 15% of our income from an individual source.

5. Responsibilities of Trustees for the Financial Statements

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Charity law in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that period.

In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enables them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the governing document. The Trustees 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. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Charity and financial information included in the Charity’s website.

Report of the Auditor to the Trustees of Football Beyond Borders For the year ended 31 August 2020

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Football Beyond Borders (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 August 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

15

FOOTBALL BEYOND BORDERS

Report of the Auditor to the Trustees of Football Beyond Borders For the year ended 31 August 2020

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included with the trustees ‘report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and regulations made under that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

FOOTBALL BEYOND BORDERS

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 August 2020

1. Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) (revised 1 January 2019). The financial statements are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting.

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Going Concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and accordingly the accounts have been drawn up on a going concern basis.

Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimated and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The following judgements and estimates are considered by the trustees to have most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Useful economic life of tangible fixed assets: the annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.

Income recognition

Voluntary income and donations (including legacies) are accounted for once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. Income from the recovery of tax on gift aided donations is accounted for in the period to which the relevant donation is received. Grant income is recognised on a receivable basis.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Expenditure recognition

Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably. Longer term liabilities are discounted to present value. The Charity is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure includes VAT where appropriate.

Expenditure included in Raising Funds includes amounts incurred in obtaining grants and other donations.

Charitable expenditure includes those costs in fulfilling the Charity’s principal objects, as outlined in the Report of the Trustees. Charitable expenditure includes governance costs and an apportionment of support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the Charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to the independent examination and legal fees.

Rentals under operating leases are charged as incurred over the term of the lease.

Intangible Fixed Assets

The costs of software development has been capitalised and is being amortised over 5 years.

FOOTBALL BEYOND BORDERS

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 August 2020

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

Tangible Fixed Assets

The cost of fixed assets, less any expected residual value, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the effective useful life of the asset, which has been estimated as follows:

Equipment: 4 years.

Vehicles: 5 years.

Leasehold improvements: 5 years.

Debtors

Debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

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 opening of the deposit.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount.

Fund accounting

The funds held by the charity are either:
