In Manchester in the year to the end of June 2024 we have seen a loss of two senior Adult senior teams in the community game but a significant increase in participation at both universities within the city. This very much goes against the national trend and is evidence of the work the group’s Development Officer has done with both institutions and well as providing financial support to fund participation coaches. Mini and Junior activity remains strong in the city however there have been a merging of some junior teams between local clubs to ensure continued participation. **Summary of the main** In last year’s report we reported the junior development at North **activities undertaken for the** Manchester, due to it’s success the juniors were assisted by the group’s **public benefit in relation to** development officer to move to facilities at a local cricket club which **these objects (include within** could cater for it’s needs. They are now a separate affiliated club in their **this section the statutory** own right and are currently developing a partnership with Manchester **declaration that trustees have** City Council to give them pitches and changing rooms in a local park. **had regard to the guidance** This partnership has been developed as a result of the group’s **issued by the Charity** development officer working with MCC on a daily basis. **Commission on public benefit)** The group’s development officer has also been working extensively with Broughton Park and their proposed partnership with GAA which will grow the club’s membership and as a result bring in extra revenue. It will also potentially lead to players from both sections trying a new sport. The group has continued to engage and enhance the delivery of the following programmes in partnership with MCC and Manchester Active namely the Holiday Activity programme, Active Streets and the Wythenshawe games. **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** The lack of casual coaches was highlighted as being an issue ib last **achievements of the charity** year’s report, this has been addressed and in partnership with the RFU **during the year** we have run two coaching courses for students in the city. As a result we are now starting to re-establish a casual workforce in the city. They are now starting to engage in the delivery of the legacy programme for the women’s world cup, four games will be played in Manchester in August and September 2025. The Charity has been actively engaged in supporting the planning of the above programme, illustrating yet again the value of their development officer. **TAR** March **2012** 2 Development grants have also been awarded to two clubs in the city to assist them with facility development. Also, the group in and effort to recognise and reward the Volunteers in the Voluntary Sports clubs in the city provided some RFU clothing for coaches and volunteers as well as providing Training and match balls all free of charge. ## **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 E Financial review** To provide adequate working capital and the trustees aim to hold at least **Brief statement of the** six months regular expenditure in reserve. **charity’s policy on reserves** **Details of any funds materially in deficit** None **TAR** March **2012** 3 ~~SCS~~ **Section F Declaration The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
