Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	To advance in life and help young people through the provision of recreational and leisure time activities designed to improve their conditions of life. The advancement of education, including physical education, of young people in particular but not exclusively by providing them with accredited training to become qualifed sports coaches which will then allow them to gain coaching experience on our projects and access opportunities for obtaining work skills particularly in sport.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	For the object of helping young people through the provision of recreational/leisure activities many of our international football projects as well as those based in the UK have achieved this objective. The football projects we have delivered to schools in Zimbabwe and Thailand have allowed a number of school children (aged 8-13) to take part in structured & coached sports sessions that they may previously have not had access to in their lives. We have been able to do this by developing partnerships with schools and community organisations in those countries to deliver coaching clinics that engage their young people regardless of ability level across diferent age groups. Although we deliver these sports sessions over a short time scale we feel our projects help to address some of the gaps in physical education for children in developing countries particularlythose

		whose lives are afected by poverty. Our coaching clinics also help with their learning of fundamental movement skills which may not have been taught to them by their schools PE staf. Many of the schools and communities we work in do not have access to the resources that will allow the young people they serve to learn the A,B,C’s of movement correctly or to develop any sporting potential they might have. The young people, their families and their schools show great enthusiasm for the opportunity of being involved in football and other sports training with qualifed coaches. Along with our local projects in London which include provision in other sports as well as wellbeing/personal development activities, these projects are always delivered with the ethos of social welfare by giving them the opportunity to experience the health, social and unifying benefts of sport. Beyond the technical sports tuition we are giving them, the sessions promote the values of discipline, commitment, teamwork, cooperation and sportsmanship.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	Our Trustees have been informed of and given copies of the Commissions’ guidance documents about public beneft. All our Trustees and volunteers have completed enhanced DBS checks and all Trustees have completed Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults training with a National Sports Governing Body or other accredited training provider within the last 3 years. Our charity holds at least 2 meetings per fnancial year where the Trustees discuss project proposals that they or the head coach would like to see the charity deliver in the next 6 month period. Any suggestions for projects in the periods between meetings will be communicated by email. In order for a project to be approved it must deliver outcomes that achieve at least 1 of the objects of the charity for the public beneft and 2 out of 3 of the Trustees must agree to the project being delivered.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Following the successful cooking project we ran at Our Lady of Fatima Church (White City) in February 2022 for the church’s junior members the charity was commissioned to run a further 2 cooking projects at the church as part of the HAF funding programme that seeks to provide school holiday activities for young people from low income neighbourhoods that may be afected by “holiday hunger”. Our cooking/food education projects provide a range of unique benefts not just to the junior participants but also their parents/families by introducing them to healthy eating options on a small budget. There was an intake of 16 participants on our project in the Christmas holidays and a further 12 participants on our February 2023 half term project with participants aged 9-16 years old from the White City Estate and surrounding Shepherd’sBusharea

learning new cooking skills and preparing healthy meals that were also considered culturally appropriate [using Halal meats & a range of Middle East and African recipes that are reflective of the demography of the local community]. In the classes they learnt how to make a range of dishes with supervision from our Head Coach, whilst also learning the correct food hygiene/prep practices, cooking techniques and food presentation. On the last 2 days of the project the young people selected their favourite dish (to cook by themself) from those practiced on the first 3 days. Their parents were invited to the church to watch them cook their dishes and then the young people were able to serve their meals to the churches elderly parishioners as part of a community lunch hosted by the Church. In October 2022 the charity were contacted by a charity in Zimbabwe called ZimConserve who expressed an interest in working with Goals4Giving to develop some football and community related projects with them in Harare, Zimbabwe where much of their work is based. After initial discussions via email and later phone conversations we agreed to initially try and support their existing sport projects with some sports kit donations. In November 2022 we travelled to Zimbabwe to deliver football shirts and other small pieces of sports equipment to support their grassroots football programme based in Mbare, one of Harare’s most impoverished and densely populated suburbs where the young people are acutely affected by drugs, crime and the associated pitfalls of poverty.

On meeting with ZimConserve’s CEO (Gabriel Mutongi) we recognised his and the organisation’s commitment to improving the lives and welfare of the young people of Mbare and agreed to develop a more formalised partnership. Unfortunately due to the short duration of our visit we were unable to deliver a sports project on that occasion for the

young people they work with but have discussed and agreed plans to do so in 2024. We will also look to support their aims of developing a local football academy for the young people of Harare who they will identify and nurture the talents of to play football at a higher level. We are extremely excited about this partnership and hopefully working with children & young adults from that community who may really benefit from the support we can offer them.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The charity’s fnancial position at the end of this fnancial year is quite healthy largely as a result of the HAF grant funding (£3020) we received to run the 2 cooking projects. We were able to identify a large enough cohort of young people that receive free school meals (one of the key criteria of the funding) and deliver the project to a community where there was a clear needfor thiskind ofprogramme.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	Goals4Giving currently have reserves of £4477. It was previously agreed by the Trustees that the charity will aim to maintain this level of cash reserves to fund the cost of our international projects in 2023 and 2024. In late 2022 we established a partnership with ZimConserve, a grassroots charitable organisation based in Harare, Zimbabwe. They support young people from the high density community of Mbare with sports programmes, drug awareness classes and other community initiatives. We will aim to continue growing our reserves next year in order to develop new projects with them and continue building our partnership.
