ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Message from Russell Martin, Founder and Chair of the Board of Trustees
I'm so proud of everyone for what we have achieved during 2021-22. Because of everything that has gone on in the world, we weren't sure what the year would look like for the Foundation. Thanks to everyone's hard work and commitment however, we have so much to look forward to. We are looking to extend our football provision into more college programmes, taking on more young footballers into the Russell Martin Academy and building on the success of the girls' tournament.
We also had the progression of our brand new site at Old Barn Way and whilst it's a slow process, we are excited about what we can create for the community there. We have been supporting the advancement of our disability department and the exciting progression within our education centres which have had a huge impact upon the students who attend them.
Everyone at RMF sprung into this year with ambition, enthusiasm and commitment to help us grow and improve on what we do. We are all very excited about the future.
Message from Alan Sanders CEO
I am delighted that the past 12 months has shown a growth of income which follows a similar trend over the previous 4 years. Our overall turnover has risen from £715,568 to £1,122,708 (an increase of over 57%). In addition, as in 2020-21, this was despite of Covid-19.
It is pleasing that our football and education programmes have grown in equal measure both in terms of breadth and geographical provision. The notable successes were our development of the football pathway, the post-16 programme and again our boys' and girls' tournaments which catered for over 1000 players with the latter tournament a reflection of the interest shown with Women's Euros. From an education perspective we were delighted to open another centre, this time in Chichester, as our respite alternative provision continues to grow and this has increased the number of secondary schools we are currently working in partnership with to 23.
CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES
This year at a glance
Russell Martin Academy (RMA)
The RMA has developed its provision significantly over the past few years, with 2021/22 being no exception. The Covid lockdown did nothing to curb the demand for our football provision as we worked towards reducing the waiting list. For this year we catered for nearly 600 regular paying members with over 100 paying for 1-1 sessions. The services we provided were:
-
A regular fixtures programme for our Performance Development Centre against professional club teams
-
RMA Play series - internal fixtures between our 4 centres
-
A Talent ID programme
-
Fixtures against grassroots teams
-
Strength and Conditioning programmes for Year 7 - Year 11 students
-
Saturday mornings for Reception class - Year 6
-
Free Kicks Programme for Girls (see below)
-
Post-16 programme (see below)
After school clubs
For 2021/22, we have concentrated on increasing the provision within the 9 primary schools we partner with. This has included supporting pupils during curriculum time in multi-sport activities such as gymnastics, hockey and basketball as well as after school football clubs for boys and girls.

Holiday Courses
Our holiday camps went from strength to strength during these twelve months. We delivered a variety of initiatives including; general holiday courses (open to all), Christmas Cup (internal competition), girls only courses, goalkeeping camps, RMA Play (internal fixtures), nutritional workshops, RMA days (invitation only).
These activities took place within the Brighton & Hove conurbation as well as mid-Sussex and the numbers attending the courses have either been equal to or exceeded previous years.
Girls
We are particularly proud of the progress we have made in developing our football provision for girls with over 80 registered for our centres in Burgess Hill and Portslade. In June we also introduce the 'Free Kicks' programme which is free to play throughout the year. For this we were able to use the UEFA Women's Euros 2022 to encourage participation.
Post 16 programme
Our Varndean College football programme has gone from strength to strength as we have had record numbers applying and excellent retention levels of students completing the course.
In addition for a relatively small further education/sixth form college, we had outstanding success in national competitions reaching the quarter finals in both the Under 18 and Under 19 tournaments.
It has been so successful that we have been invited to run a similar programme at Shoreham Academy for 2022-23.
Disability
We were finally able to set up our disability department with a grant from the Sussex Community Foundation. This project had been delayed by nearly two years due to Covid.
The grant enabled us to provide sessions at a day centre and 3 schools. One school in particular had been struggling to find any activities for their more severely disabled children. We were able to engage with children and staff to ensure they got the most out of any sport/activity we were providing. We were able to use a range of equipment to provide something for every child. During the pandemic the children had very little contact with anybody other than school and relatives/carers. We concentrated on helping strengthen muscles, encourage fine motor skills and improving social interaction. The project helped the school with their physical education especially with the children who had more complex disabilities. For the centre we were able to help the adults build confidence in understanding what their bodies could do. We were also able to help the carers understand and learn some of the activities and this meant the carers were able to deliver the sessions themselves to the beneficiaries.
Overall the project was a massive success and we look forward to developing our disability provision from this. This was summed up by a PE co-ordinator at one of the schools; 'As a school we were extremely happy and thankful for the fantastic sessions provided'
Tournaments
We are extremely proud of the summer tournaments we have been able to deliver in partnership with Burgess Hill Town FC Juniors. We have 120 teams enter our boys' tournament and 104 teams for our girls' tournament, with over 1,000 participants involved for each. We believe the girls' tournament is one of the biggest in the UK.

Extra Time - Brighton
Our Brighton Extra Time Project has now been running since September 2019 and we are really pleased that all 10 secondary schools in Brighton & Hove work in partnership with us on this initiative.
Our aim is to support the students who are facing difficulties with mainstream education for a whole host of different reasons. Some of these students need some individual attention and mentoring to help them cope with some minor difficulties. However, others have complex needs and require support from our staff and support services. Once back in their own schools, after spending 12 weeks with us, we then continue to monitor and support them for up to a year.
Highlights for this year have been visits to the local history museum, the Phoenix Art Gallery and the FMG Gym. Thank you to Donatello Restaurant which has sponsored and supported the centre since the start.
Extra Time - Chichester
We were delighted that following the request of the local authority, we were able to open a new centre in Chichester. For this inaugural year, 8 schools signed up to send selected students to the 12 week programme and we were delighted that we were able to support over 50 students get back into mainstream schools. Highlights for the year included regular visits to the Westgate Leisure Centre and visits to the Novium Museum, the Chichester Ship Canal and a boat trip along the Chichester canal.
Extra Time - Worthing
The Worthing centre has now completed its second year in operation, and is supported by the local authority and 5 local secondary schools. The centre was praised by Ofsted as part of their inspection of one of the partner schools, for the support we have been able to give to the students who have been referred to us. The head teacher said that the Extra Time Project 'has clearly played a key part in supporting the young person to get back on track'
Holiday Activities Food Programme
The government-funded programme was delivered by RMF in Brighton, Newhaven and Worthing during different holiday periods. The attendance of young people on free-school meals varied at these programmes which made prediction of staffing levels challenging. However, as a registered charity we are strongly in favour of this initiative as we look to support children from low income backgrounds.
Hove 3G
Since we started to manage the Hove Park 3G in May 2018, our main aim was to make the facility as accessible possible to the local community. We have delighted with the response and now we are often fully booked on week day evenings and throughout the weekend. For this year we have had 3,056 bookings from 489 individual users and these user include local teams, businesses, schools and just groups of friends
Old Barn Way
Having been awarded the lease for Old Barn Way (ex-home venue of Southwick Football Club) in early 2020, we have spent a great deal of time ensuring the ground safe and fit for purpose. The first stage was to provide a grass pitch that was suitable to play on and the second stage, in conjunction with Adur District Council, the Sussex FA and the Football Foundation, to plan for a new clubhouse and artificial pitch.
For 2021-22 Adur District Council supported this process with a £50,000 grant.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The results for the year reflect the easing of Covid restrictions and are as follows: total income for the year was
£1,122,708 (2021: £715,568) and of this, £507,614 (2021: £217,093) related to restricted income. Expenditure for the year was £1,137,488 (2021: £687,788) and of this £490,704 (2021: £214,379) was restricted expenditure.
There was an overall net deficit for the year of £(14,780) (2021: net surplus £27,780) and this was made up of a net deficit on unrestricted funds of £(31,690) and a net surplus on restricted funds in the year of £16,910. Unrestricted reserves carried forward at the 31st August 2022 was £59,135.
Reserves policy
It has been the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level would ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding or an event such as the Covid-19 pandemic, will ensure the charity's ability to continue its current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The charity is currently building up its level of unrestricted reserves to meet this target. Unrestricted reserves at the year end were £59,135 (2021: £90,825) and restricted reserves at the year end were £19,625 (2021: £2,715).
FUTURE PLANS
We have now written a strategy for 2022-25 and although we see 2022-23 a year of consolidation, our future plans over the three year period are to meet the needs of the local population by:
Football
-
To expand our football training pathway for young people
-
To provide a range of inclusive programmes that provide opportunities for all
-
To build and facility manage a clubhouse and 3G pitch at Old Barn Way, Adur and explore opportunities to manage others within Sussex
Education
-
We will focus on encouraging pupils to engage with secondary school education
-
We will target the reduction of exclusion rates in our partner schools
-
We will deliver a range of suitable level adult accredited courses for the local community Health
-
Mental health wellbeing will be fundamental within all of our programmes for young people.
-
We will include smoking cessation as key area for all education programmes
-
We will address a some of the needs of local inhabitants by offering a range of healthimprovement programmes
Of course none of this could happen without working in close collaboration with local organisations, particularly, the primary and secondary schools, the local authorities, the Sussex FA and of a whole range of sponsors and funders.
Finally, this is an ideal opportunity to thank our valued trustees who have helped us throughout the year.

Report of the independant Auditors

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Russell Martin Foundation (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 August 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Report of the independant Auditors

Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Corresponding figures and comparative financial statements
In the previous accounting period, the trustees of the charity took exemption under section 477 of the Companies Act, therefore the prior period financial statements were not subject to audit.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors' report included within the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Report of the independant Auditors
11
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
The objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charitable company and the sector in which it operates. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: the Charities SORP (FRS 102), Companies Act 2006, and safeguarding legislation including Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (SVGA).
-
We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company is complying with the legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to management.
-
We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur.
Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
-
identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
-
understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
-
made enquiries with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of fraud or non-compliance;
-
assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.
-
challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
-
identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations;
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). For instance, the further removed non-compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the auditor is to become aware of it or to recognise non-compliance.

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose.

1. CHARITY INFORMATION
The Russell Martin Foundation is a private charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is the same as the principal address of the charity, Bank House, Southwick Square, West Sussex BN42 4FN.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £
Going Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on the basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or release the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
