2024/25 Season
Trustees report: 1st July 2024 – 30th June 2025
Charity Name: Killinghall Nomads Junior Football Club Charity Number: 1162891
Charity Address: 146 Wetherby Road, Harrogate, North Yorkshire HG2 7DN Charity Trustees: Darren Casey, David Knowles, Chris Dixon
Background:
Killinghall Nomads Junior FC is affiliated to the West Riding County Football Association (WRCFA) and currently has two star accredited status. The Club is now working with the FA to gain three star status and to position the Club as a major asset within the local community. It is hoped this can be achieved in Season 2025/26.
The Club remains compliant with the requirements of the FA in relation to coaching and safeguarding and upholds the values of the FA’s Respect campaign. All age groups have fully trained volunteer coaches and anyone directly involved with children will have a clear DBS check. The FA closely monitors compliance with the support of the Club’s Welfare Officers.
The club’s ethos is “Football for All” and key objectives are to develop children’s football skills in a safe environment, using qualified coaching volunteers and to recruit and train coaching volunteers for all age groups. The club pays for volunteer coaches to achieve and maintain FA coaching certificates in Safeguarding Children, First Aid, Introduction to Coaching Football (ICF) Levels 1&2.
Killinghall Nomads JFC (the Club) provides facilities, equipment and coaching to all children between the ages of 4 and17 years.
-
We continue to offer a series of weekly taster sessions for Reception year children running from Easter to Summer with a development pathway through to U6 (training only)
-
U7s, U8s & U9s Boys teams compete in the Harrogate & Wharfedale Friendly Junior Football League or Garforth Junior League.
-
U10s to U18 s Boys teams compete in either the Harrogate & District Junior Football League, the Hambleton Junior Football League, or the Garforth Junior League.
-
U7’s to U15’s Girls teams compete in either the Harrogate & Craven Junior Girls Football League or the West Riding Girls League
-
The Sportability (Pan-Disability) group trains weekly and we field a team at u14 in the West Riding Ability Counts League as well as playing organised friendly matches with other local disability teams.
-
We are also promoting a Ladies Open Age Development Team to play 9v9 games under the auspices of the Harrogate & Craven Junior Girls Football League.
Current position:
The club had 475 children registered at the end of season 2024/25. A steady increase from the previous season (400). In addition there were 19 ladies registered with the Ladies Open Age Development team.
Although coach recruitment has increased correspondingly over the last year we are still finding it difficult to find enough training facilities through the winter months when our pitches are out of action. Some of the popular boys age groups continue to have waiting lists.
Our continued support of “drop in” fun sessions for girls (Wildcats) provides steady growth for our girls teams and the addition of a mixed gender early years group (u6) guarantees a regular intake at u7.
Football training in the Spring, Summer & Autumn months, takes place either weekly (Saturdays) or twice weekly (additional Tuesday) at Killinghall Moor Community Park on land leased from Harrogate Borough Council. During the winter months training for the younger age groups and the Sportability group moves indoors to the Sports Hall at Harrogate High School and for the older age groups to all-weather facilities at one of either Rossett Sports Centre, Harrogate Grammar School or the Army Foundation College depending on availability and demand. The cost of these facilities to the Club as increased by 20% due to the additional demands of a growing membership and higher charges by the providers. This is the second substantial increase in successive seasons.
The Club continues to invest in improvement work to the pitches at Killinghall Moor with the aim of reducing the need for expensive all weather facilities. We are now entering the final year of a five year plan agreed with, and partly funded by, the Football Foundation and ourselves.
We also anticipate some monies being allocated to pitch improvement via a Section 106 Agreement and a Community Improvement Levy with a local developer. Although progress has stalled on this recently, further meetings with North Yorkshire Council, the new local government agency, are planned for the near future. It is hoped that an agreement with NYC will free up some, or all, of the funds allocated.
The Club’s principal revenue streams continues to be membership registrations (up by 19% during this reporting period) and our annual 6-a-side Junior Football Tournament which was again a great success.
The Club cafe increased sales by 75% over last season. The Monday and Friday openings have been consistent and greatly appreciated by regular customers and we continue to explore ways of developing greater community use. However, the main potential is on Match and Training days where unfortunately we continue to struggle from a lack of volunteers.
The Club increased the annual membership subscription to £180 for all age groups except Sportability (£145) and a £2 PAYG arrangement for u6 and Girls “Wildcat” sessions. These increases were necessary to offset the additional cost of facility hire.
The Club enjoys a good relationship with local and regional sponsors and we received approx 44% of new or replacement kit costs in sponsorship this year.
Killinghall Nomads JFC has its own website at www.killinghallnomadsjfc.com hosted by Club Website and also uses closed Facebook Groups for different age groups to aid communication with parents.
The Club continues to have close links with Harrogate Gateway Disability Football Club which provides a pathway for disabled players after18. We also support Leeds United Football Foundation in providing Football Holiday Camps in our community.

Summary:
Season 24/25 has seen a continued, albeit reduced, growth in Club membership. A number of age groups are over subscribed and waiting lists are in place but growth is restricted by a lack of facilities.
The Club’s primary commitment over the last 12 months has been in coach development. With more ICF Level One coaches coming on stream and with better player:coach ratios at all levels we have been able to offer improved outcomes and experiences for children and retain them within the Club for longer. This year we successfully saw a team through their u18 year with a few of the players having joined at u10. A measurable success when there are so many distractions facing young people.
We saw another huge attendance at our annual tournament this year, the second most successful on record. We were again able to make a donation to the Army Benevolent Fund in appreciation of the valuable assistance offered by the Army Foundation College.
Although overall profit was slightly down this year as costs, particularly facility hire, have continued to rise the Club remains in a healthy financial position. Resources have been
well managed by the Committee who have shown sound business acumen and a real commitment to securing both qualitative and quantitative benefits for the Club.

2024/25 Season
Treasurers report – Year End
Highlights
-
After gift aid receipts of £13,201 the operational revenue increased 22% to £116,708 whilst the total membership donations increased by 28% on last season. This resulted in an annual profit of the football operation of £13,059 – a reduction of 11% YOY principally due to increased purchases of groundhire and equipment.
-
The club café sales of £18,325 is a 75% increase on 23/24 season and and delivered profits of £6,840. The café investment is being depreciated on the balance sheet over 7 years at an annual cost to the profit and loss of £7,044. The café continues to be operated solely by volunteers and is opening match weekends and Monday and Fridays.
-
The club is continuing to progress with the repair and maintenance of the football pitches following the successful grant from the Football Foundation 2021 of £74,498 over 5 years. The funding call off is now reduced by 50% with circa £14,000 remaining to call off in 2025/26.
-
The tournament was a massive success again this year raising £10,102, the second highest total in the 12 years of existence. Whilst YOY revenue increased by 10% to £22,982, costs also increased YOY by 28% (excluding the donaltion from North Yorkshire County Council towards trophies). There is a separate break down of tournament finances.
Comments
-
The club received a donation from NYCC of £1,000 towards annual trophy costs of the tournament.
-
The club raised £3,1000 for the Army Foundation as part of the annual tournament with Army volunteers helping with carparking and sharing the reveiue.
-
Ground hire costs increased by 20% on 23/24 and 60% on 22/23 season. This was both due to the increased membership and the need to extend the hire period from September to April due to the wet weather
