## **Vision**
York City Football Club Foundation was established in 2014 with the vision : _“to support the local community by providing sport and physical activity; educational; social and healthy lifestyle opportunities, and ensuring that our contributions have a realistic opportunity of making a positive impact"._
The fundamental aim of the Scheme has been to find ways of supporting the local community by providing opportunities for physical activity, social elements and enjoyment, as well as creating a pathway for development, talent and competition for all ages.
## **Origins**
In 2007 York City in the Community (YCITC) was created by York City Football Club with a small team of coaches employed to embrace delivering football in the community, predominantly working within schools in the York area. The Football Club support for the programme has always been vital although over the years, the programme has grown immensely and developed a much wider focus by achieving charitable status as York City FC Foundation.
## **Impact**
The impactful work of the Foundation is aimed at improving community cohesion; reducing social isolation and loneliness; addressing holiday hunger and young people’s health; promoting social prescribing models and partnership working in numerous guises with national, regional and local organisations and services across the City.
The Foundation also works hard to use their standing in the Community to raise awareness for relevant national campaigns including in recent years: Suicide Safer York; Cancer Champions and the homeless community and services in York.
## **Stats & Facts**
Reaches nearly 2,000 people per week on average.
Age range of participants 4 to 88 years.
Offers a pathway for engagement & recreational to & talent routes in all programmes.

**YORK CITY FOOTBALL CLUB FOUNDATION (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_
## **Programmes**
The Foundation offers a broad range of programmes providing opportunities; developing pathways and using the vehicle of sport and the power of the brand to make a difference, under the key headings of :
Sports Participation - Community & Female
Social Inclusion - Programmes to widen access to sport for disadvantaged groups
Health & Wellbeing - Programmes centred on the health benefits gained from participation in sport.
## **Objectives and activities**
The Charity identified three objectives for the coming years, which together contribute to achieving the vision:
- to make available a range of quality sporting and recreational activities appropriate to the needs of the community. - to focus our work on enabling disaffected groups, including targeted young people, girls and disabled people.
- to work in close partnership with the local community, York City FC and agencies from the public, private and voluntary sector.
The Scheme's main focus has remained football, with other sports delivered through the medium of multi-skills sessions to highlight transferrable sporting skills, but more prominence has been put on inclusion within sport.
The trustees consider that they have complied with their duty in Section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011, to have due regard to public benefit advice published by the Charity Commission.
The charity's policy is to consult and discuss with employees, through unions, staff councils and at meetings, matters likely to affect employees' interests.
Information of matters of concern to employees is given through information bulletins and reports which seek to achieve a common awareness on the part of all employees of the financial and economic factors affecting the charity's performance.
Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the aptitudes of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment within the charity continues and that the appropriate training is arranged. It is the policy of the charity that the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical to that of other employees.
## **Achievements and performance**
The year to June 2022 was one of recovering from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and getting back to “normal” providing support to groups facing the greatest inequalities in North Yorkshire.
The staff as ever have been tremendously flexible and supportive carrying out work for the purpose the Foundation was created, to help tackle some of the key social issues such as loneliness, mental health, lack of physical activity and specific health issues.
February 2022 also saw the celebration of the Foundation’s 15th birthday since formation (which is quite a milestone) with the distribution of 1,500 tickets to children through grassroots clubs, schools and charities.
## **Sports Participation**
York City Ladies achieved “The double”, winning the County Cup and becoming League champions promoting them to Tier Four for the very first time in their history with matches against Leeds, Newcastle, Barnsley and others to look forward to.
Technical Director Steph Turnbull, Club Manager Rosie Todd, Assistant Manager Lee Robinson along with all the team and support staff deserve much credit and congratulations.

**YORK CITY FOOTBALL CLUB FOUNDATION (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_
The girls Regional Talent Club which has the highest Tier 1 status has continued to perform well. The EV, (audit) visit in November was very good with an overall result of “exceeding expectations” for the second year running.
Activities with schools continued to grow including the Healthy Holidays Project involving 10 schools and over 1,000 children. In March, as part of our Premier League Primary Stars education programme we had over 200 books to give out to our three PLPS partner school thanks to the Premier League and the National Literacy Trust
Our annual Junior Club Tournament took place having been missing for a few years due to Covid and bad weather. Over 100 teams took part in what turned out to be a hugely successful event with over 5,000 people attending over two beautiful days in June. Thanks are due to all the staff and volunteers who helped and to the club groundstaff for preparing the pitches.
City Tots aimed at pre-school children has re-commenced with a slow but growing take-up. Girls only Wildcat session re-commenced aimed at 5-12 year olds and were very successful giving girls a taste of football.
In February we hosted a 'Female Only Introduction to Coaching' workshop. Our pathway programmes vision is to 'Be Your Personal Best' and we take a holistic approach to developing players as young people; inspiring them and giving them opportunities to develop their knowledge on and off the pitch.
## **Health**
Walking Football for both men and women continued to grow with taster sessions run for new players.
The Sporting Memories activities for those seeking fellowship and companionship continued to thrive and expand
and are very well supported.
Every Tuesday night we host our Boot The Blues Kick About session. Aimed at men who may have depression or other issues, it is an opportunity to get out the house for an hour or so and join in with some football in a safe environment helping mental and physical well-being with exercise. This began as a pilot in July 2021, and continued with funding throughout 2022 thanks to National League Trust.
We continued our league with Man v Fat, and sessions of activity aimed at encouraging weight loss at Burnholme with great success with significant weight loss recorded amongst the players.
## **Social Inclusion**
Regular activities including Kick About sessions which encourage activity amongst youngsters in a safe but relaxed environment have continued weekly at two venues, along with up to 11 Parks over Summer 21 and Easter 22 with nearly two thousand young people being offered activity through the commissioned project.
Happy Healthy Holidays which has become a popular theme across the country, continued locally with hundreds of children involved who otherwise would have nothing to do and also have nothing to eat during school holidays, and continued to develop and sustain connections with the network of food share projects across the City and the Local Authority to ensure the families who need this most are targeted.
The Strensall Youth Club which takes place every Friday evening for 9-15 year olds continues successfully with numerous activities arranged and managed by Inclusion staff to give attendees something different to be involved with and to keep them off the streets. Our close partnership with the Strensall Ward Council is a reflection on the Councillors who have shown great foresight to consider Youth Voice in their area, as they recognise the value this can bring to their area.
## **Social Media Engagement**
The team worked very hard to maintain momentum with social media, particularly Facebook and Twitter to great effect. There seemed to be something new every day which maintained the Foundation's profile. The recruitment of a new Media Coordinator in June 22, will be a great benefit going forward.
March 2022 saw a visit from Alex Brooker, the Channel 4 presenter and comedian. He spent the morning seeing the impact of National Lottery funding of Foundations and what the Foundation does locally. Coverage was excellent (including featuring Sporting Memories and Boot The Blues) on National TV and social media with excellent positive feedback.

**YORK CITY FOOTBALL CLUB FOUNDATION (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_
## **Sponsors**
Throughout the year we have been incredibly fortunate to have attracted a large number of sponsors for our events, York City Ladies and initiatives. We are truly grateful for, without them, the Foundation could not operate. THANK YOU!
## **Financial review**
There was a total surplus of £16,773 in the year, compared to a surplus of £17,268 in 20/21.
Unrestricted funds at the year end total £42,261, compared with £25,488 in 20/21. The Foundation had no restricted funds at the year end, or at the end of 20/21.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to three month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The trustees have implemented policies aimed to maintain an acceptable level of reserves which have had to be used to an extent this year. We will work to replace those reserves as quickly as feasible.
This financial year, the Foundation has had to draw on some of those free reserves. The Trustees also felt it appropriate to defer income which was received for activities that had not been able to be provided at the point of the year end, with the aim to provide those to the individuals or provide refunds as necessary if this could not be achieved.
Equally, funding for a number of projects has been carried forward to reflect the time that this funding will be spent on the delivery of these projects.
The accounts also reflect a credit for funds from Sport England received after the year end, but sourced as Emergency Funding towards general running costs from April-July, so the period April to June has been covered in this financial year accounts.
## **Plans for future periods**
## **Strategic Direction**
Plans for the future in 2022-23 are to maintain the trajectory of recovery for the Foundation, and begin to grow capacity again.
The Foundation's endeavours will continue to reflect key agendas in the area of sport, inclusion, education and health and works closely with the sports development units, the local County F.A's, Active Partnerships, County Sports Networks, Funders, relevant networks and local authorities in order to complement not only their relevant sports and active recreation strategies, but also the work of other providers.
The Foundation's direction continues to reflect the needs of the community and at this time of uncertainty will aim to support those needs, which are expected to mean further increase in health and inclusion related projects.
We again give huge thanks to Paula Stainton our Foundation Manager who has been outstanding in managing the staff and programmes, working long hours and showing huge commitment. Phil Smith our Operations Manager and the remaining staff have all been terrific and we thank them.
After the year-end, following the sale of the football club, Jason McGill, Amanda McGill and Steven Kilmartin stepped down as trustees. We thank them for all their hard work and invaluable support.
YCFC Foundation will continue to focus on safeguarding it's future for it's beneficiaries and those who rely upon it's essential role in the Community, to ensure a lasting and positive impact.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The charity is constitued as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The company was incorporated on 18 July 2014 and obtained charitable status on 24 November 2014.

The trustees, for the purpose 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 which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and articles, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset receive d or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.
A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met . Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable . A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.

## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **1.6 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **1.7 Financial instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are measured at transaction price including transaction costs.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are recognised at transaction price.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
## **1.8 Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
## **1.9 Retirement benefits**
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
