## **Honiton Town Community Football and Sports Association (Registered number: 1177277) Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2024**
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Requirements applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
## **ASSOCIATION INFORMATION**
Honiton Town Community Football and Sports Association is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation - Registered number: 1177277.
Honiton Town Community Football and Sports Association includes the funding and operation of Honiton Town Youth Football Club, a Charter Standard football club affiliated with Devon FA offering coaching and competitive football for young persons aged between 5 and 18. The Trustees oversee the financial and strategic direction of the charity with support of the operation of the Youth Football Club through a management committee which (in addition to the Trustees) includes an appointed Football Club Secretary, Child Welfare Officer, registered FA Football Coaches and other volunteers.
All Football Coaches are (as a minimum) FA Level 1 qualified with relevant First Aid, Safeguarding and enhanced background checks. All other volunteers working with children have enhanced background checks conducted prior to unsupervised working with children. The Charity has a Child Welfare Policy and appointed Child Welfare Officer, and all Members (Children and Adults) of the Youth Football Club are regularly reminded of responsibilities for maintaining a safe environment for young people.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
- To promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for the playing of association football and other sports capable of improving health ("Facilities" means land, building, equipment and organising sporting activities);
- 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
- To advance the education of children and young people
## Plans for the future
To continue to build on our existing achievements and performance, and to continue to lobby the Local Council and Sport Governing Bodies to assist with securing additional facilities for the Charity.
## **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
- Provision of weekly football coaching for young persons aged 5 to 16 from FA qualified coaches within the local area.
- Participation in local football leagues (both competitive and non-competitive) for young persons aged 5 to 16 within the local area.
- Hosting of an annual Youth Football Tournament attracting over 1600 participants aged 7 to 16 and their families.
The above activities benefit young people by developing their physical and mental wellbeing, their selfconfidence and life skills, their teamwork and providing opportunities for young people to become volunteers themselves. We welcome all young people, aged between 5 and 18, regardless of personal background, faith, gender, or personal circumstances.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## Chairman's report
It is with great pride that I present this year’s annual accounts, showcasing the continued growth and impact of Honiton Town Community Football and Sports Association. Through the dedicated efforts of Honiton Town Youth Football Club, we have further strengthened our commitment to nurturing young talent and fostering a sense of community spirit.
This past year has seen significant progress in our mission to provide accessible and inclusive sporting opportunities for young people. Despite the ongoing challenges posed by the limitations of our facilities at St Rita’s, the passion and perseverance of our volunteers, coaches, and officers have been nothing short of inspiring.
On the pitch, our youth teams have excelled, demonstrating not only skill and teamwork but also the core values of sportsmanship and personal development. These achievements reflect the positive influence of our programs, extending far beyond match results.
Off the pitch, we have continued to advance plans for a new facility - a critical step in securing the longterm future of our club and addressing the pressing health, safety, and space constraints at St Rita’s. Despite continued resistance from Officers, we remain in active dialogue with East Devon District Council, urging them to recognise and support the needs of our community.
None of this would have been possible without the unwavering generosity of our donors, sponsors, and partners. Their belief in our mission has empowered us to expand our reach, improve our programs, and create lasting change in the lives of young people.
As we look to the future, we are more determined than ever to build on these successes and adapt to the evolving needs of our community. Despite the challenges ahead, I am confident that our Charity will remain a beacon of opportunity and inspiration for young people across the region.
Finally, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has contributed to our journey this year. Your support has not only transformed individual lives but has also enriched the very heart of our community.
Thank you.
Warm regards,
Jon Leisk
Chairman, Honiton Town Community Football and Sports Association
