Statutory Declaration The trustees declare that they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charlty Commission on public benefit. Achievements and Performance Summary of the Main Achievements of the Charity during the Period The trustees are delighted to report that the 2024 season has seen a 25% increase in the number of players at Primary and Youth level. This has shown the benefits of recruiting players from a younger age includlng the tots13-5 year-oldsl. In what is an outstanding achievement for the club, six of our under-14s players received scholarships from Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds. Primary & Youth Rugbv During the 2024 sean the club had a total of 141 junior players and 56 registered volunteers= Tots110 players) Under 6s1101 Under 7s111 Under 851221 Under 9s191 Under IOs1191 Under Ils1131 TAR2024.docx
Gulseley Rangers Amateur Rugby League Football Club Trustees Annual Report for the Period Ended 31" December 2024 Under 12s Boys1201 Under 135 Boys1181 Under 13$ Girls181 Under 14s Boys1111 The junior players combined to participate in teams registered within the Yorkshire Junior & YoLTrth League at age groups U6s, U8s, U95, UIOS. Ulls Boys, U125 Boys, U13$ Boys and U14s Boys The partnership with Birkenshaw Bluedogs continues to go from strength to strength with a combined team of girls from Guiseley and Birkenshaw competing at U13s level. The standout performance of the season was by the U12s Boys. In their first competitive season they reached the final of the Continuation Cup which wa5 held in early september at the Fox's Biscuit Stadium in Batley. Although the result didn't go our way, players. coaches and spectators have 311 benefited from the experience. Two of our formerjunior players, Fergus Mccormack and Thomas Nicholson-watton, have both signed full-time contracts with the Leeds Rhinos. It is great motivation for our junior players to see the opportunities available to them. Open Age The Open Age have gone from strength to strength and have, on occasion, been able to field two teams. The number of registered players wa5 43 and included George Bayfield playlng alongslde his father Alex. Master5 The number of players in the Masters side have dwindled as some have chosen to play in the Open Age side. The number of registered players was 15. Financial Review Review of the Charity's Financial Position at the End of the Period During th$ financial period, the club made a small surplus on revenue of £28k. This income represents a significant increase on the previous year, mainly due to an increase in player registrations. The cold weather during the winter caused several burst pipes which ultimately cost the club around £3000 in increased water consumption. The club spent a total of £1,900 on training for coaches and volunteers, which is broadly similar to the previous year'5 amount. Although this cost is significant, the trustees view is that this as an essential investment in the club's future. The club ended the period with a bank balance of around £44k. The trustees believe thls to be sufficlent to meet all its future commitments as they fall due, and will hopefully also allow further capital investment in the club's facilities in the coming years. The Charity's Principal Sources of Fujds The club requires each junior player to pay an annual registration fee to cover costs associated with their participation. For the 2024 season, this remained at £85. A reduced registration fee of £60 is offered to familles with more than one child registered. TAR2024.docx
Gui5eley Rangers Amateur Rugby League Football Club Trustees Annual Report for the Period Ended 31" December 2024 The trustees may, at their discretion, reduce or cancel the registration fee requlred for any player for whom the cost would represent a barrier to participation. The club received £llk in junior registration fees. The Open Age team contributed an additional £1200. Masters players are only required to pay fees on match days and this income amounted to around £200. Income from sponsorship was £5.5k, a decrease of around £1,000 on the previous year. Plans for 2025 The trustees would like to increase participation levels at all age groups. Recruitment efforts will target girls in an attempt to increase the number of teams available for them. The anticipated increase in participation will also require additional volunteer recruitment. Further changes to be introduced by the RFL in 2025 wlll see players at U6s, U7s and U8s playing tag rugby. The club continues to be constrained by the by the existing pitch and hospitality facilities. We will investigate the feasibility of developing these. subject to receiving the necessary permissions from Leeds Cty Council.
