## **Chester le Street United Football Club Annual Report 2023-2024** ## **Chairman's Message** As we reflect on the 2023-2024 season, I am proud to say that Chester le Street United Football Club has made significant strides both on and off the pitch. Our commitment to developing young talent, fostering community engagement, and promoting excellence in all aspects of the club has yielded impressive results. ## **Club Highlights** - Youth Development: Our academy continues to flourish, with several players earning selections to regional teams (including the county squads) we have a full pathway from Mini United through to adult football as is recognised by the FA with our 3* accreditation. - First Team Performance: The first team secured a respectable mid-table finish in the Northern League Division One, with notable victories over toptier opponents. Our women’s team secured their place in step 6 of the national women’s pyramid. - Community Engagement: We expanded our community outreach programs, partnering with local schools to deliver coaching sessions. - Facilities Development: We completed phase one of our stadium renovation project, including New floodlights, upgraded changing rooms, improved spectator amenities, and enhanced pitch maintenance at the Riverside. We also spent pitch power funding on pitches at North Lodge and Church Chare grass pitches, as well as beginning to return 7 Acres to playing facilities. ## **Financial Report** Our financial performance for the 2023-2024 season was stable, with a slight increase in revenue due to increased sponsorship and grant funding. ## **Awards and Recognition** - Club of the Year: Chester le Street United was named the fair play award from rhetorical northern league - FA Award : we were awarded the highest level of 3* club. ## **Looking Ahead** As we embark on the 2024-2025 season, we remain committed to our core values of excellence, community, and development. Our objectives include: - **Strengthening our first team squad** through strategic recruitment and player development. - **Expanding our community programs** to reach more young people and promote healthy lifestyles. - **Completing phase two of our 7 Acres renovation project** , including the re seeding and fencing of the two new pitches. I would like to extend my gratitude to our dedicated staff, volunteers, players, and supporters for their tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to Chester le Street United. Together, we will continue to drive the club forward and achieve greatness. ## **Yours sincerely,** [Lewis Pendleton ] Chairman of the Foundation, Chester le Street United Football Club |Chester-Le-Street United|Chester-Le-Street United|Chester-Le-Street United|Charity No

dd/mm/yyyy| |||||||| |||||||| ## **Chester – le – Street Utd.** ## **Independent Examiner’s Report** I report on the accounts of Chester – le – Street Utd. for the Period ended 31 May 2024 ## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** The trustees of the charity are responsible for the preparation of accounts; they consider that the audit requirement under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 does not apply. I have been appointed under the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the regulations made under section 145 of that Act. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts and statement, without performing an audit, and to report to the trustees. ## **Basis of Examiner’s Statement** This report is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the directions given by the Charity Commissioners under the Act). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity trustees and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes a review of the accounts and making such enquiries as are necessary for the purpose of this report. The procedures undertaken do not constitute an audit. ## **Examiner’s Statement** Based on my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe, that in any material respect, accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011. or that the accounts presented do not accord with those records or comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011. No matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts. **P. L.
