Trustees Annual Report – April 2021
Purpose
CCYFC exists to provide children with organised football activities. We aim to provide as many children as possible with a consistent, high quality experience that helps them to develop their teamwork, abilities and fitness using F.A.qualified volunteer coaches.
When planning our activities for the year, the Trustees have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Impact
During the course of the last year, we operated 18 football teams in the U7-U18 age groups. Several age groups operated more than one team. Numbers continued to be impacted by COVID-19.
Scale
Normally we would run weekday evening training sessions (on Tuesdays and Fridays) from August through until May, and each team would take part in matches on most weekends from September through to May. Adding together the number of training sessions and matches, we would normally expect to provide approximately 1200 organised sessions during the course of the year. However our operations were significantly impacted due to the second COVID-19 lockdown from November-April.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted our operations. We had to implement strict social distancing rules at the end of the first national lockdown in July, and from November-April we were unable to operate any of our activities; in effect the club was put on hold for the duration. This had a knock-on effect on the number of players and teams, with many families opting to withdraw given the uncertainty around the situation.
Volunteers
In order to deliver sessions, we had a total of 34 volunteer coaches, all of whom met the FA minimum standards for child safeguarding, first aid and coach education. As in previous years, we successfully passed the FA’s annual audit of our volunteer workforce and maintained our Charter Standard status, which demonstrates our commitment to maintaining high standards and ensuring that all volunteers keep their qualifications and certifications up to date as required.
Finances
Our main areas of expense are facilities hire and provision of equipment and clothing. Income and expenditure are closely matched.
Unfortunately COVID-19 meant that we were unable to operate any fund-raising activities. We also had to make some refunds for sessions that we were unable to hold. Whilst we were able to control expenditure overall, once again we have had to operate with a minimal cash reserve. Hopefully we will be able to return to normal operation and resume our fund-raising plans.
