OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Page 2
Shots In The Community Foundation Trustees Annual Report
The objectives of the CIO are:
(a) to promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for the playing of association football and other sports capable of improving health ('facilities' in this clause means land, building, equipment and organising sporting activities).
(b) to provide and assist in providing facilities for sport recreation or other leisure time occupation of such persons who have need for such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving their conditions of life.
(c) to advance the education of children and young people through such means as the trustees think fit in accordance with the law of charity; and
(d) for the general purposes of such charitable bodies or for such other exclusively charitable purposes in each case as the trustees may from time to time decide.
In planning our activities and programme for the year, the Shots Foundation has been mindful of the need for public benefit in all our work.
The driving motto of the Foundation remains – “Making a difference in our local community.”
The three main objectives we will follow are:
Offer programmes, events, and activities to the local community.
Grow The Shots Foundation.
Develop the people of The Shots Foundation
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Our Lead Officer Jamie MacAllister has continued leading on the initiatives outlined below in the time period of this Trustees Annual Report. We have also recruited Glenn Bailey to add to the experience in our team and to allow us to increase the number of events, programmes and activities that we offer. We have been able to:
• Offer football camp activities which benefit the local community including after school clubs at Alderwood Senior School, Waverley Abbey School, Wellington Primary School, Dogmersfield School, Aldershot Garrison Pre-Schools, Cambridge Primary School, Park Primary School, Potley Hill School, Marlborough Infants and Talavera School - We worked with nearly 300 different children throughout the year, with 55 children attending multiple clubs across multiple school terms. Our attendance is on the up too, with an average attendance of 93% this academic year, up 5% on last year.
• Half term and summer holiday soccer camps for local children at Cambridge Primary School and Hook Junior School – daily attendance was between 20 to 30 children assisted by visits from the Aldershot first team squad players. As with our after-school programmes, camp participants are also invited to attend a home fixture free of charge through the Mike Pusey Community Stand Scheme. This season, 27 children and their families attended a match through the scheme. Combined with the after-school clubs, a total of 117 families in our local community were able to experience the matchday atmosphere at the EBB Stadium, many for the first time.

• Sight Loss Soccer – our once-a-month session for the visually impaired. The sessions are held at the Samuel Cody School.
• Older Shots Walking Football – our incredibly successful offer to the over 55’s – four sessions run weekly and attended by 120+ every week. The Older Shots entered a Walking Football tournament in Spain and are entered for the Italian one too.
• Encourage new and existing supporters to attend matches of Aldershot Town FC in the Mike Pusey Community Stand. In the 2024-25 season some 3,000 tickets were distributed to local groups including the military. The main aim of this scheme is to inspire ‘Tomorrow’s Supporters’ to come to the football and build a relationship with Aldershot Town FC. We’re pleased to say that 52% of those who attended through this scheme this season were under the age of 18 and have come from various community groups. Beneficiaries have included 59 grassroots football teams, 14 local schools, and various charities and community groups such as The Vine Centre, Knights Foundation, Parkside, Harlow Hall, Scouts, and Brownies. On top of that, we support our military with several complimentary tickets throughout the year on occasions such as Remembrance Day and particularly this year, VE Day. We also run the Fanzone marquee on match days, offering fun activities for our younger supporters, such as the mini pitch and table tennis, and we organise the flag wavers and the popular half time cross bar challenge and visiting community groups eg the Community Grub Hub or the NHS.
• Offer a well-attended Veterans Hub that supports the retired members of the armed forces (based in our area) and ensure that military families are invited to the Remembrance Day fixture. The Vets Hub is held once a month with an interesting range of speakers and plenty of social time too. Four additional events this year – one was the VE Day celebration, with over 90 Vets attending. The Vets Xmas dinner was attended by a similar number, first team players helped serve the meal and all were entertained by Terry Owens singing carols and all enthusiastically joining in. Another event for the Vets was a Day at the Races, held at Sandown Park – a great time had by all. Finally, we were honoured with a visit of the Chelsea Pensioners to the Football Club – one of the rare occasions when they venture out of London.
• Rambling Shots is our walking group for all ages and abilities that meets on the 1st Wednesday of every month in the Aldershot and wider area. More than just a walking group, we aim to provide a sociable environment that encourages new friendships to be formed and are always welcoming of new members.
• We offer volunteering and work experience opportunities to local students.
• We regularly host school and community groups on EBB Stadium tours.
• We offer varied opportunities including work experience and volunteering that can also be linked to complementary programmes such as the Duke of Edinburgh's award scheme.
• The Foundation responds to other events, on an ad hoc basis, which would benefit from our support e.g. Xmas toy appeal with player support for Frimley Park and Royal Surrey Hospitals, Aldershot Picnic and Pop, school summer fetes, the Rushmoor Community Carol Service, the Aldershot Town Football Club Open Day, the Bula Festival etc.
• We support Aldershot Community Grub Hub and organise for donations at one home game in the season.
• We also organise support for visitors to the EBB Stadium with Stoma friendly toilets and sanitary products available.
• Bridges Community Cup – a new tournament for local primary schools – all played on the pitch at the EBB Stadium.
• Aldershot Town Football Club won the FA Trophy in May 2025, and the Foundation was able to tour and parade the Trophy to all of our partner schools (with great excitement we should add).

Trustees Annual Report
Success in the National League Trust Tournament.
We also host an annual Primary Schools Football Tournament in conjunction with the National League Trust. This was held, once again, at St Joseph’s School and the winners were South Farnham School They did not make it through to Wembley this time but the first team did!
We are very grateful to our supporters, particularly the National League Trust, Charters, Bridges, RM Carpets, Oasis Electrical, Western Automation, Molco Kitchens, the Masonic Charitable Foundation, Tony Raffermati and to our delivery partners, particularly Quinntessential, and the many volunteers who have given time to the Shots Foundation that makes it the success that it is. Thank you all.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
We aim to breakeven in financing our activities.
With the support of grants from organisations such as the National League Trust, revenue income from our courses and camps and other ad hoc donations we are succeeding in our aim.
As outlined above, the principal source of funding is ongoing revenue, donations from local sponsors, and the grant we receive the National League Trust.
Other activities such as the After School Clubs and Soccer Camps must be self-financing.

Shots In The Community Foundation Notes to the Accounts
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.
Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
2 Company status
The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
