Every year the charity runs a thorough application process to select its project leaders, who will deliver football projects that comply with the charity’s stated objectives. The trust supplies financial support and training to the project leaders, and monitors their progress through formal half year presentations to the Trustees and informal check ins with the Charity’s part time members of staff. ## **Trustees** The trustees, all of whom served during the year unless otherwise specified, have been disclosed on page 2 ## **Structure, governance and management** The constitution of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation was dated 28 February 2016, and the CIO was registered as a CIO on 14 November 2016. The Huracan Foundation is run by a group of trustees who meet around once a month to coordinate the activities of the CIO. The trustees have a wide range of experience that enable Huracan to execute its objectives, including project management, teaching, financial management and impact measurement. This also complies with the CIO’s constitution, which stipulates Trustees appointed must have the skills, knowledge and experience to enable its effective administration. 4 Docusign Envelope ID: 9882119F-37E2-4B65-B87A-CAAE4A96CF78 Registered Charity No. 1170153 ## **The Huracan Foundation** ## **Achievements and performance** In FY 2024, Huracan supported 8 project leaders. 5 of these were first year leaders based in Peru, Zimbabwe, Argentina, Mexico and Uganda; the other 3 were second year leaders based in Uganda and Nigeria (x2). The project leaders supported 1,136 children in total through their projects, with a 53% and 47% mix of girls and boys. A total of 1,637 training sessions, 275 football matches and 412 non - football sessions were delivered with 102 volunteers engaged. ## **Financial Overview** Income for the period ending 31 December 2024 was £63,299 while expenses were £65,581, resulting in a net £2,283 decrease in funds. ## **Reserves Policy** Due to the annual fluctuations in income, it is part of Huracan’s policy to retain a significant balance at year end to ensure that project can be supported even when donations, events and grant income is lower than expected. At the financial year end Huracan held a balance of £24,771, which will allow the Foundation to continue delivering against its objectives in FY25. ## **Trustee’s responsibilities** The trustees are responsible for producing the annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable Law and United Kingdom generally accepted accounting practice. Charity law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity, and its results for the year. In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to select appropriate accounting policies and apply them consistently and make judgements that are reasonable and prudent. The trustees do not hold any funds or act as custodians of funds for other charities.

It is my responsibility to examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Act and, and to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charities Commissioners under section 145 (b) of the 2011 Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention. My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners and regulation 11 of the Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## **Independent examiners’ statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act, section 44 (1)(a) of the 2005 Act and regulation 4 of the Regulations; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act, section 44 (1)(b) of the 2005 Act and regulation 8 of the Regulations. have not been met; or 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
