This report is based on the period 2nd January 2023 to 1st January 2024
Key points
-
The Club activities were limited due to insufficient volunteers, that we have always been reliant upon
-
Limited tournaments took part, mainly in-session friendly’s for competitive fixtures
-
The Clubs Annual Tournament did not return in 2023
-
Session numbers were excellent often hitting the maximum permitted - growth stifled by lack of additional volunteers
Finance’s
-
Subs increased in 2023 vs 2022, up to £5925 from £4140. this in part due to increased in costs and driven by a £0.50 increase in session fee’s, none the less this increase was 43%
-
Outgoings exceeded income by £2647.44. This in part is driven by cost increases across the board
Grants
KFC
WIFC were successful in 2022 of applying for a grant totalling £2000 towards young people at risk.
The project scope for this consisted of
“This would see us target at risk young people, children in homes and on the streets and offer them guidance, support & sport”
The plan was broken into 3 sectors.
Part 1 would see 1 person fully trained up to give them the opportunity in life to build confidence and gain a possible future career. This person is was in severe poverty and comes from a disadvantaged background. This was completed in 2023
Part 2 seen us offer free youth sessions for a limited time to assist with the cost of living crisis. Our plan was to start this after Christmas 2022 and run this from 11th January 2023

until May 3rd 2023. The cost to us would be £31.25 per week for the hall, so for 15 weeks this would come to £468.75
Part 3 then seen our youth volunteer plan to hold a tournament with local care homes/ specialist housing. It brought together disadvantaged people and offer them the opportunity that would not normally be possible. In turn by seeing what the club offers it may enable our numbers to grow on a weekly basis therefore helping these individuals in the long term. It was fully covered by the club for the over 50 participants with a hot meal included
CO-OP
The club participated in the latest round of local giving which was aimed at continuing our current projects whilst supporting further growth. The club was awarded £1042.90 from members selecting WIFC as their local giving choice towards runnings costs of the club. These were used towards Transport running costs (£988.68) to ensure availability of sessions to service users and Equipment purchases (£126.99) the overspend of £72.77 was covered from the clubs accounts.
Groundwork
The club were awarded £1125 from Tesco’s groundwork with the aim of covering Sports hall fees , Up skilling volunteers - education and training and Rewards and incentives.
Existing 48 Week Project
The club successfully completed the facility hire cover in February 2023
Football Manager’s Comments
2023 seen a small increase in participants but unfortunately the club is constantly restricted due to being at maximum capacity and the inability to further expand sessions to offer any more places. We see around 70 service users each month but the increases in facility hire cause a reality check of cost vs affordability which results in the income only covering the bare minimum cost
2023 has been seen as a struggle for the club and this is mainly due to the volunteers time and not having enough volunteers to take the club forward or expand the club any further. we have still managed some in house competitive fixtures, one of the main highlights was hosting the Australian Futsal team, it was such a brilliant experience to which our players will not forget
Volunteer availability is our biggest risk we face and even though we have tried to recruit there simply is a lack of availability of suitable candidates with the right skills to take us forward.

We continue to make a massive difference to people's lives who have a dependency on the club, but sadly that's at the expense of volunteers own mental health, exhaustion with trying to balance work, life and volunteering

Secretary Comments
Every Wednesday we welcome plenty of people to our sessions, being the first point of contact for them and their families i deal with them and any issues they may have first hand, i see countless players each year and its a pleasure of seeing the difference the club makes to the players and their families the club as a whole is like a family and seeing everyones smile and excitement each week means so much to make and makes it all worthwhile.
Coach’s Comments
Over the last year the development session has had a good level of attendance. At the sessions a variety of players of age and ability is present, and the club have welcomed new players who have settled in well and enjoy being part of the club.
The club haven’t had the opportunity to attend many competitions or tournaments but the players have really enjoyed training together and getting to know each other, not just the football. A number of players have grown in confidence in their football and socially in the session which has been brilliant to see. The players are really supportive and encourage each other regularly, this has been especially evident in the newer younger players that have joined. Instead of getting frustrated with players who might not be as good they encourage them which is what the session is about.
Overall it's been really pleasing to see the players new and old come together to make the session a very welcoming and inclusive place which has always been our main focus with the football.
