## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 June 2022
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
The objects of the CIO are:
(A) to advance the amateur sport of association football.
(B) to promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for playing association football (facilities means land, buildings, equipment and organising football activities).
(C) to provide and assist in providing facilities for sport, recreation, and other leisure time occupation of people who have need of such facilities because of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life.
(D) to advance the education of children and young people whether or not undergoing formal education.
## **The charity's main activities**
Hepworth United Football Club runs football teams for Juniors, Ladies and Men. There is now a netball team associated with the club. This group has grown over the year, particularly with the addition of juniors. There are now ten adult and junior teams playing locally.
## **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 and in particular the provision of appropriate football coaching and facilities for our members and patrons.
## **Achievements and performance**
We currently run 2 open age men's teams and an open age ladies' teams. There are girls' teams at U12/13 and U15/16, and an FA "wildcats" training programme for younger girls. We have 22 junior teams in 11 junior age groups with in the Huddersfield and District League. The youngest U5 and U6 groups also have training sessions. All are led by qualified coaches.
In the Junior section numbers and teams remain strong with around the 270 players in the Juniors that adds to 40 players who are registered to Junior Girls teams. We are pleased to be able report on such strong numbers following the 2 disrupted years.
Numbers were slightly down in our 2 entry ages at U7 and 6s as the sessions just haven’t been on consistently over the lockdown but they are now growing and most ages have seen players join through the 21-22 season.
Game and training time in 20-21 was vastly reduced with so many months in lockdown, we did as a result only take half subs (£75 of the £150 annual subs) that matched the amount of training and game time players had received. The season was extended to the end of May and some mini leagues were able to be played out which was something like normality but no league trophies or cup competitions were handed out. There was some notable finished in our older age groups with the U18s, 17s and 16s all finishing in the top 2 of their respective leagues.
In the year we made the decision to move our kit supplier from Adidas to an O'Neill's designed bespoke kit. This was predominantly down to the ever changing range of Adidas and poor availability. The new kit should allow us to get more consistency and similar branding across the club.
At the youngest age we have the ongoing support of Coach Russ Kaye as we welcome players in to football at reception and year 1 and that is working well at getting young players in to the game. In addition helping coaches with confidence and experience to take the teams on from U8s

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 June 2022
## **Achievements and performance Continued)**
Pathways for players to progress to open age from the juniors needs to be an ongoing focus. We have some superb youngsters and a number recently have made appearances for the open age teams but given the size of the juniors it should be a higher conversion. The current OA management team are very supportive of that pathway and we need to align on how best we can make that transition work for the players as we aim to see an number of players each year step up in to open age.
In the Ladies section unfortunately following the previous season being cut short by Covid and then the 20-21 season similarly affected some hard decisions had to be made for the long-term future of the open age Ladies section.
With the 1st team Ladies manager stepping down at the start of the season which led to a number of players leaving too it left us short on numbers for both the 1st & Development team. This in the end left us with no alternative but to withdraw the 1st team from the NERWFL in late 2021.
The Ladies section consolidated to bolster the newly formed development team which has grown and gone from strength to strength eventually winning the WRCWFL Div 2.
The girls' section has increased dramatically over the last 12 months, the Wildcats sessions have been the driving force behind the new U12 girls’ Team who are now playing in the league for their 1st season.
This moving up of girls from Wildcats to U12s has seen numbers drop in the wildcats, so we are actively trying to increase and keep the footfall going to continue all the coaches and volunteers good work and keep the female section growing.
The growth of the U14 girls squad with the addition of new players meant that we were struggling to give enough game to players so with the help of the league we were allowed to split them into two teams midseason.
This year we have been joined by a ladies' netball team set up by the wives, girlfriends and sisters of footballers. They say Covid restrictions have stalled their progress but they have made great strides in their first year. There are already four Huddersfield league open age teams, one West Yorkshire league open age team, five West Yorkshire junior league teams, two walking netball sessions, five newly qualified level 2. England netball coaches, and 6 umpires going through their qualifications with more waiting to get on courses. There are over 170 junior and open age playing netball. All within under 2 years of starting.
Off the pitch, the club has continued to move forward and with the successful application on a number of grants we were able to purchase a tractor and mower which is driven by a volunteer and this has reduced pitch maintenance costs in the year. We also invested in a storage container.
Additional grants were applied for Solar panels and the successful grant along with investment from the club allowed us to install 30 panels on the roof in January 2022 making a dramatic difference to the electricity charges. They produce enough electricity to cover our needs in the majority of day hours but not at the right times so we will now look towards batteries and also using the spare electricity to heat water and save on the gas costs.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 June 2022
## **Financial review**
The net expenditure for the year was £2,845, wholly on unrestricted funds after transfers.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £25,585.
The charity's policy is that funds not presently committed or invested in tangible fixed assets should be maintained in general unrestricted funds at the equivalent of between 3 and 4 months' of budgeted operating costs. At the year end, such free reserves represented approximately 2.4 months of overall costs.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Hepworth United Football Club
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 30 June 2022, which are set out on pages 7 to 12.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO 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 CIO'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 Charities Act;
- 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
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.
