A¢hievement$ and perfomian¢e
The Fulurestsrs project has been running since 2015 and was granted full UK Charity slalus in April 2018.
It started with one corporate donor- the OMA Group- and now has several ¢orporale donors supporting the
charity financially as part of their commitment lo the local community.
Fulurestsrs delivers sports coaching to underprivileged children in five govemment public primary schools
in Tema Gh8n8.. B8atsona, Community 811 Community 711 Republic Road, Twed8ase. We also support
the Future Leaders school in A¢¢ra which gets no government funding. Our totsl reach is now 3500 children
across our partner schools.
The project also aims to educate the school children in discipline, responsibility and integrity as an
individual and as part of a team. We also continue to get additional children into edkjcation by supporting
them and their parents with school fees at the Future Leaders School.
Refurt)ishment Projects
The Futurestars Charity partners have also carried out some much-needed refurbishment work in the
schools. The long-tem plan is to encourage more corporate donors to support these refurbishment projects
and satisfy their own corporate social responsibility commitments lo the local community which will help us
expand in the future.
The corporate donors help in three ways..
1 Fin8n¢ially - providing funds we need lo purchase the Tefurbishmenl costs. 2 - Donating goods 8nd
services To save funds lor carrying out the work. 3 - Employee Volunteering - Engaging stsff lo help with
the manual labour required to carry out the work.
In April 2024 we refurbished and painted 8 Classrooms at the Future Leaders School with a group of
volunteers from the UK and our lo¢al partners. This included the ¢leaning of all walls and floors before
repainting them with the correct paint providèd by one of our corporatè partners. We also refurbished a 20ft
Shipping Container and constructed an Offi￿ inside for our Futurestars Staff to use on a daily basis. This
also acts as our storeroom for donated items from the volunteers as well as our sports equipment for the
PE Sessions.
In January 2025 we constructed a steel canopy with a steel roof for the Future Leaders School so the
children and staff have a covered area to study and host assemblies. The structure is 10 meters wide and
30 meters long and is an excellent addition to the School grounds. It is known as the NEST and is the only
outdoor shaded area within the school grounds.
Ghana $¢hool$ Sports proj¢¢tT¢ma
All of our partner schools have a detsiled coaching plan delivered by our coaches to enhance our sports
projects. They start al 6.30arn for pre-school sports clubs and then slay the whole day providing Physical
Education lessons for each year group. After School sports sessions for Boys and Girls are also delivered
in 811 schools.
Fulurestsrs qualified coach&s arts employtsd lo visit the five schools evtrry week. The coa¢hes' dedication is
clear to see and they follow programmes developed in ¢onjun¢tion with professional coaches in the UK. We
aim to develop the children's balanc8, co-ordination, technical skills in Football and Nètball, tèamwork and
decision making. Thé coaches run pre-school sessions in Football and Netball. PE sèssions during th8
school day and an after-school development centre for ¢hildren showing a particular talent who also show

Improving on technic41 abilities. Monitoring the improvement of each child in the Development Centres.
We have introduced Rugby for boys and girls into our Schools in Tema in Partnership with the Ghana
Rugby League Federation.
The Future Leaders School - Accra
The Future Leaders SchoDI in Accra has no government support so it relies on our ongoing support. We
have recruited a local qualified coach to help us deliver the sports sessions at the Future Leaders School.
We have also recruited a female PE Teacher to help us deliver the Netball sessions to the girls after
school.
We have introduced the Sport of Rugby for boys and girls in the School and our coaches have been
working with the Ghana Coaches from the Ghana Rugby League Federation in Accra.
We continue lo support the teachers and owner of the school with monthly financial donations towards the
teachers salaries.
Togo schools prol•ct- sports
In October 2024 we look the difficult decision to bring to an end lo our involvement in the project al the
Cacavelli school in Lome, Togo. Originally the funding for this was linked to, but not restricted by, our
donations from Fender¢are. This stopped during 2023, and we continued to make grants to them up to
October.
Due to the location the project is run, on our behalf, by the lead coach Raman Ibrahim, who oversees all
activities. He is also the coach of a senior men's team that is based several miles away and the team has
been promoted to the professional league so he is unable to devote the necessary time to continue the
project as we would like.
We decided that our grants would be better served in the projects in Ghana which Raman accepted and we
thanked him for all the work he has undertaken.
Referen¢es
We follow guidelines for coaching set out in the book below.
Football The England F.A. manual IThe Future Game Grassroots) is heavily regarded as one of the best
pracli¢es that have the appropriate blend of Challenges, skills and learning for our players.
Girls Netball - The Futurestars Netball teams from Baatsona, Community 8 and Twedaase schools are
training and playing inter-school matches on a regular basis alter school.

that is required and we meet with the School owner and Head Teacher lo discuss the priorities on a regular

safe and secure transport for our children when representing the FutLJrestars Charity teams. They are also
used to transport some of the pupils to regular outside school activities organised by the school and
Futurestars. Our minibus is fully insured and serviced annually.
We are planning purchase a small vehicle in 2025 for use in Tema for our Lead Coach. This will help with
transport support whilst the Minibus is being used for the collection of the School children for after school

Finan¢ial review
Income for the year was achieved frorn donations and other fundraising activities and amounted to
£168,54612024.. £122,006). Associated expenditure for the charitsble activities of the charity amounted to
£169,82212024.. £151,621) and created a net expenditure on funds of £1.276 12024.. £29,615). This when
added lo brought forward fund reserves totsls a fund balance carried forward of £90,405 12024.. £91,681)
for us& towards the future activities of the charity.
No amounts were ￿$trIcted in the period for specifi¢ projects, therefore the entirety of the funds are Carried
forward for charitable purposes in line with the objectives and reserves policies listed in these financial
statemènts.
The small deficit and an increase in tangible fixed assets has contributed towards a drop in the net current
assets of the entity from £73,057 to £57,944 as at the year end dale.
Reserves Policy
The Charity's reserves policy has been reduced to hold six months unrestricted expenditure as free
reserves which would amount lo £84,911 12024.. 12 months policy at £151,6211 based on current
expenditure levels. The policy is sel lo hold enough free reserves to enable the charity to fulfill slatulory and
legal obligations and lo provide a contingency fund lo meet unforeseen falls in income or increases in
expenditure.
The charity's actual free reserves amounted lo £90,405 as al the year end12024.. £91,681) which is in line
with this policy. The Trustees feel that il is prudent lo hold a surplus given the current financial climate, this
is reviewed annually with the aim to build reserves in due course lo facililale this intention.
The main plans for the reserves are for futu￿ refurbishments lo be undertaken al the schools involved in
our projects.
