YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023
Health and lifestyle Choi￿ still remain a primary objective and are promoted and delivered
from the Pavilion social room. The club's three designated trustees and committee members
assist and contribute volunteers to hold such events.
Year on year the club continues to be progressive and plays a lead role not only In sporting
football attivities but also more widespread community activities. with our large 8-acre field
hosting a large number of events. This is following on from our new clubhouse build which
was undertaken 5 years ago. Such activities indude both formal and infomal education
induding courses on safeguarding children. emergency aid and sporting coaching
qualifications. Our facilities, clubhouse and 8acre field can be hired at low cost and are
popular for celebration parties for all age. The football pitches and changing rooms are
available to hire ad-hoc by extemal sporting clubs. We also provide a CRC - DBS verification
service to individuals and community groups.
Achievements during the period
The club has now been a fijlly registered charity for just over five year5 after previously
being a long established constituted group.
The club itself has over 100 registered junior players and over 80 registered adult players,
playing in a number of league competitions in nearby Towns/Cities of Barnsley* Wakefield,
Leeds, Selby, Garforth & Doncaster ￿g[On$.
The club have Home & Away kit and team wear sponsors, both local & natlonal, for each of
the individual age groups and are gratefully supported by local businesses throughout the
community.
The club have been proactive in both pU￿UIng and obtaining grant funding. and kit and
team wear sponsors, to which we have our own designated identity range of over twenty
dothing. holdalls and winter team wear items.
The preceding years have been very busy with three major developments; the Club, ( l)
Upton United Juniors CSC, on 5th January 2018 became a fully registered Charity
(1176573), (2) the building of the Upton Pavilion our own Club house and (3), the Pitch
Improvement Programme (PIP) which has already dramatically improved the grass pl8ying
surface and will only continue to do so year on year.
Also very challenging. has been the global pandemic which affetted the funrtioning of the
club and resulted in the financial burden of losing our primary income of player
subscriptions. At the same time we still had the finanoal obligations ot the dub house and
8 acres of land which has grass requiring rna1ntenan￿.
Female Football
The club continue to promote girls football within the community and plan to develop this
further in the coming 12 months with introduction of further age groups pending player
avallability.

Finance
The budget was set on a breakeven basis on 1st August 2022.
When assesslng the budget forthe comlng year It was apparent that player subscriptions
would have to be increased to allow the dub to ftjnttion and were increased from £160 to
£200 per player for the year.
The club suffered financially very early in the year with the loss of two e5tabli5hed teams
which had a negative effect on the budget in the tune of £3500.
The budget is drawn up with fundraising / grants a major aspect to allow the club to
breakeven. Grant funding streams have become more and more difficult to secure.
Fundraising from wlthin the dub was limited, glving a loss of £IOOO from within the budget.
Further consequences of rising utility bills had a major influence on the yearly budget which
caused an over budget of around £2000 which was unft)reseen.
Problems Wlth building components has had a major impa¢1 on budget which was unknown.
The drainage system for the building incorporates a pumped foul water system and the
pumps have been found to be defettive and we have had costs in the region of £lOOO
pumping septic tanks and unblocking the pumps. This is to be addressed in the next
finanaal year.
Legal Matters
Despite being handed the Pavilion Clubhouse keys on 21st December 2017 there still
remains some legal matters to complete for the Pavilion along with the one year builders
snagging list of defects which we are still proactive in resolving.
Aims - Aspiratrons - Future Development Wision
To continue to grow our present number of teams by continuing our Soccer Star
programme. providing a free and fun introduction to football and healthy lifestyle choices for
kids 4-6 year-old. This is under a fully indusive open policy of accepting all abilities, and to
recruit more teams by underpinning the growth of the club, from the youngest age groups
in all fom)ats of the game, from the youngest 3ges right through to open age and beyond to
eventually encompass over 40s, walking and veteran's football.
We will remain active in providing events for the ￿￿der community to promote community
integration.
The clubs aims and vision for the next 5110 years include developing the Pavilion further to
almost double in size, albeit ambitious, we have retained the original planning application
permission for Phase 2 after the building of Phase l.

Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination wa5 carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the
Charity Commission. An examination indudes a ￿vieW of the accounting records kept by
the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also include5
consideration of any unusual items or disdosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations
from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is
given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and frdir view. and the report is limited to
those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examinerfs statsment
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which
gives me cause to believe that in, any material respett:

the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or

content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008

should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to
be ￿aChe¢l.
