| Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
The climate in relation to Adult participation in sport continues to be challenging, research is showing a fall in the number of Adult players across rugby union in particular Males. COVID has seen them discover other health and life opportunities and as a result whilst players want to play they do not want to commit on a regular basis. Despite this the clubs in Manchester have maintained the number of teams they field on a regular basis with the help and support of MRUDG. Dul to a lack of casual coaches, the group has had to bree really targeted in it’s delivery focussing on developing a junior section at North Manchester RUFC, this is currently work in progress. The issue of casual coaches is something which will be addresses this year as described in Section D. The charity continues to be engaged in the delivery of the city council’s Holiday programme as well as being involved in local community events e.g. The Wythenshawe Games. The charity has continued to work with the council’s sport and leisure team to help deliver their new Active Streets programme. This programme has been expanded due to it’s popularity and provides children with an early insight in to the sport. The Charity over the last 12 months has delivered on the Manchester Holiday Activity programme which provides activity as well as a nutritious meal as the target audience is those children who are on Free School meals and from Vulnerable families. It is a useful addition to the Charity’s work in that it is helping to address the issue of Child/Hunger/Poverty which is high on the Government’s agenda. Public benefit The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and when planning future activities. |

Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main A significant in the last 12 months has been the appointment of a part- achievements of the charity time development officer approved by the Charities Commission. The during the year Development Group trustees took the view that despite the withdrawal of funding by the RFU in to the RFU structure in Manchester there was a need to support clubs and other rugby related organisations in the City. Results of this venture have so far been positive, the Officer has been successful in attracting funding from Manchester City Council for Community delivery as well as having a legacy fund confirmed to deliver activity as part of the Women’s Rugby World Cup. The RFU have all committed funds to run a specific two-year project around the World Cup in the City. This will be matched by the development group.

The group have also been engaging with Lancashire Rugby Football Union, the officer is work with Broughton Park on the Lancashire element of the RFU’s Rugby United programme.
The group are also talking to Lancashire in relation to a potential project with the Ukranian community in the city. The charity continues to be engaged in the delivery of the city council’s Holiday programme as well as being involved in local community events e.g. The Wythenshawe Games. More specifically, in relation to the Holiday Activity programme the group has adopted a more targeted approach to where it delivers. The more positive responses to the sessions has been in areas of the city where there is a high proportion of the SE Asian community.
The charity has continued to work with the council’s sport and leisure team to help deliver their new Active Streets programme. This programme has been expanded due to it’s popularity and provides children with an early insight in to the sport. The Charity over the last 12 months has delivered on the Manchester Holiday Activity programme which provides activity as well as a nutritious meal as the target audience is those children who are on Free School meals and from Vulnerable families. It is a useful addition to the Charity’s work in that it is helping to address the issue of Child/Hunger/Poverty which is high on the Government’s agenda.
One of the main issues outlined in last year’s report was the lack of casual coaches as a result of COVID. This matter has now been addressed and there will be a Student Specific coaching course in Manchester starting in October 2023. This will provide the group with the opportunity to develop a casual coach workforce to deliver the group’s aims and ambitions.
Public benefit The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and when planning future activities.
