Public Benefit
The Charit¢s aims are carrled out for the public benefit. Thi5 is achieved through provision of
football acttvities forthe local community as described in the charitable objectives.
Achievements and Performance
The Charity continued to provide football activities to its members throughout the year and enjoyed
success across various age groups. The charity wa5 able to welcome a new intake of 4- and 5-year-
olds to the U55 section and all teams from the previous season progressed into the next age group
The growth of the club continues to be well supported by local buslnesses In the form of sponsorship
for match day kits and training tops. Thi5 gives the teams a srnart appearance and presents the club
In a positive manner particularly when travelling to aWayt￿tureS throughout the county and
beyond.
The 2023124 season was another successful season with several teams being rewarded fortheir
efforts by achieving promotion to a higher division forthe 2024125 season as well as reaching the
latter stages of the league and County cup competitlons. The Mlni Soccer tournarnent was a
fantastic success again thi5 year, which attracted teams from far and wide across the county and
showcased Broadstone Football Club to be one of the leading clubs in Dorset. The 2024 event
promises to be even biggerwith teams from Wales entering thereby dernonstrating news of the
success of the event reaching beyond the county boundaries.

Flnanclal Review
Duringthe year, total income was recorded as £68,385 (2023: £53,913), against which expenditure
of £59,034 (2023: £50,600) was Incurred, resulting in a net income of £9,35112023: £3.313).
The club continued to record a net income in the current yearwhich supports the sustaSnable
operating model of the club, Whilst the charity Is not operatlng to make significant net income, it
recognises that klt and equlpment need replacing from time to time and therefore havin8 funds
avallable for th￿ purpose is essential to ensure the charlty can continue into the future.
The income forthe current year was In keepinE with the prior year and the maln drivers contlnued
to be reglstration fees and weekly match fees. Both were Increased slightly from the previous season
to ensure increased costs Incurred for pitches and training facilities are able to be Met without
adversely affectlng the charivs flnanclal reserves.
Sponsorshlp returned to levels seen pre-covld as bu51nesses seem to be recovering from the recent
challenges with rlslng costs whlch Is good news for both the charity and also the local communlty in
whlch the charity operates. Moving forwards, we wlll continue to engage wlth local buslnesses to
offerthe mutually beneficSal arrangement of an advertising opportunity, whllst also ensurlng the
teams have kit to wear on rnatchdays.
Expendlture In the current yearwas more In keeplng with pre-COVID levels and less than total
Income for the year. The rmain drlver5 of expenditure continued to be match related costs includlng
pltch and referee fees. In additlon, tralning kit and equlpment as well as the charges for hirlng of
facllltles away frorn Broad5tone Recreation Ground were slgniflcant items of expendlture In the year,
although these were offset by sponsorshlp and contrlbutions from members towards these rosts.
Reserves Pollcy
Total Reserves at the year-end were £21,239, Increased from £11,888 at 31 May 2023.. The Trustees
deem the level of reserves sufflclent to malntaln charitable act5vltles wlth contlnued Browth for the
flnancSal year. Thls upward trend in the reserves Is the focus of a longer-term objectlve to restore
reserves to hlstorlc levels, however stlll being able to offer grassroots football at an affordable price
and cheaperthan many local alternatlve clubs.
The Trustees alm to malntaln a workSng balance wSthln the current account5 of the club. Any excess
funds are transferred to the savlngs account to use, should they be requlred, as determlned by the
management commlttee. These funds are held at high street banks ensuring funds are accessible at
short noti￿ should the need arise. Total funds held in short term deposlts were £29,886 (2023:
£16,650).
An initiative by the local authorlty18CP Council) to transfer the lease of the pavilion located at
Plainfield Farm to the Charity in a Community Asset Transfer arrangement remalns under
negotiation. Whllst thSs presents an exciting opportunity forthe Charity there Is a degree of
uncertainty with what this will involve from a day-to-day management perspective. The
management committee remain aware of this and deem the balance of funds In the savings account
sufficient to cover any unforeseen costs and mSnimise any impact on the continuing operation of the
Charlty in fulfilling its aims and objectives. However, several additional improvements to the facility
will be necessary ahead of the agreement to the asset transfer, which will not be covered by the

Charity, but grants from the Football Foundation and Football Association may be available to help
with the cost5. This is something that will be explored by the management committee as part of this
initiative.
Plans for Future Periods
The Trustees and management committee are committed to the ongoing provision of facilities for
the playing of Association Football. The focus is to continue to provide opportunities for all children
from under 5s through to under 18s in the youth section and, in due course, re-establish the girls
section in the club which disbanded after the 2022123 season. The 2023/24 season saw the
encouraging sign of open age, adult football return to the club, and the team successfully gaining
promotion to play in Dorset League division 4 for the 2024125 season. This offered the opportunitv
for a number of players previously associated with the club to return and also offer the natural
pathway for the under 18s players to progress from youth football into the open age game.
The Trustees and Management Committee continue to believe that providing football activities to
the members of Broadstone Football Club has positive effects of exercise on both physical and
mental wellbeing and these are widely documented.
With a growing membership, the Trustees appreciate the continued efforts of everybody connected
with the club. particularly the coaches who give their time freely and also those that volunteer at the
fundraising events held each year.

I report on the financial statements of Broadstone Football Club for the year ended 31 May 2024,
which are set out on pa8es 8 to 9.
Respective responslbilitles
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the
Charities Artl and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 14515llbl of the 2011 Charities Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions of the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparlson of
the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or
disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanation concernin8 any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no
opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fairf view and the report is limited to
those matters set out.
Independent examlnerfs statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention, which gives me cause to
believe that in, any material respect:
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and
content of accounts set out in the Charities (Account 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 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 understandin8 of the accounts to be reached.
