-
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, disability, financial hardship, or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interest of social welfare and within the object of improving their conditions or life; and

Public Benefit
We continue to strive to maintain the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, as evidenced as follows:
-
Provision of Youth Football facilities and equipment for the community
-

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Chairman's report
I am delighted to present the annual accounts of Honiton Town Community Football and Sports Association, reflecting our commitment to nurturing young talent and fostering community spirit through our youth football teams under the banner of Honiton Town Youth Football Club.
Over the past year, the Charity has continued to make significant strides in fulfilling our mission to provide accessible and inclusive opportunities for young people to engage in sports. Despite the challenges posed by the inadequacies of our facilities at St Rita’s, our dedicated team of volunteers, coaches, and officers have demonstrated unwavering resilience and determination.
One of the highlights of the year has been the remarkable progress of our youth football teams both on and off the field. Our emphasis on skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship has not only led to success in competitions but has also instilled important values in our players that extend beyond the pitch.
Off the pitch we have continue to drive forward our plans for a new facility aimed a securing the future of our club and deal with the myriad of health and safety and space issues that are present on the current site at St Rita’s. We continue to push East Devon District Council to respond to our concerns and to provide some support to address the needs of our community.
None of our achievements would have been possible without the generous support of our donors, sponsors, and community partners. Their continued belief in our mission has enabled us to expand our reach, enhance our programs, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless young people.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to building upon our successes and addressing the evolving needs of our community. As we navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, I am confident that the Charity will continue to be a beacon of hope and inspiration for young people across our region.
In conclusion, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the success of [the Charity over the past year. Your support has not only transformed the lives of individual young people but has also strengthened the fabric of our community as a whole.
Thank you.
Warm regards,
Jon Leisk Chairman, Honiton Town Community Football and Sports Association
