## **HEMEL ACES FOOTBALL CLUB** 

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES 

For The Period Ended 30[th] June 2025 

## **OBJECTIVES** 

Hemel Aces Football Club (HAFC) is a registered charity and a FA 3 Star Accreditation Club. HAFC currently has 35 teams catering for Boys and Girls from Under 7s up to Under 18s. 

We run an Inclusive section with 6 teams, catering for players from Under 7 through to adults, along with an adult casual football team. 

HAFC has approximately 420 playing/training members and as a FA 3 Star Accreditation Club, operates to the highest standards set by The Football Association for junior football clubs. 

The club has the following objectives. 

- To promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for playing football (facilities meaning land, buildings, equipment and organising football activities) for the children of Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding local towns and villages. 

- To advance the education of children and young people, whether, undergoing formal education or not. 

The club is also committed to providing ongoing education for its volunteer workforce, by paying for individuals to improve their skills and achieve all necessary qualifications through approved FA courses. 

## **TRUSTEES** 

The Club is administered by an Executive Committee made up of the Trustees and complemented by Committee members drawn from within the Club. 

Members of the Executive Committee and Committee members are elected at an Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the club and hold office until the end of the AGM the following year. 

Members may be co-opted into Trustee and Committee roles, as needed, outside of an AGM. 

The quorum for meetings shall be four, or the number nearest to one-third of the total number of trustees, whichever is the greater, or such larger number as may be decided from time to time by the trustees. Only Trustees have the right to vote at Committee Meetings. 

## **FINANCIAL YEAR** 

The clubs financial period runs from 1[st] July to 30[th] June. 

## **CLUB ACHIEVEMENTS 2024/25** 

- The club provided football for 419 players across the season, down slightly from 433 last season. 

   - 291 boys (69%), 94 girls (22%) and 34 inclusive (8%). 

- We continued the focus on growing Girls, who have 8 teams, Inclusive sides, which now has 6, and seeing growth in new players joining the teams. 

- For the 4[th] season in a row, Hemel Aces organised a tournament on behalf of the Herts Youth Inclusive Football league (May 2025), where approx. 140 players attended from across the county. 

- We entered two teams in the Futsal league (vs 1 last year) offering additional opportunities to players. 

- We remain oversubscribed for places, as constraints in volunteers and training/match facilities meant we could not offer football to everyone who wanted to join. 

- We contributed towards a new 3G Pitch in the town which will give additional training slots for the coming seasons.
