OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities

The last 12 months have been another test of the resilience of our volunteers, members, and families.

COVID has once again decimated the training and playing season for many of our members and volunteers. No football had been played since the outbreak in March 2020 and the impact on our members' and volunteers' welfare was clear. Financially the lock-down was also having a negative impact on our member's parents, with many being furloughed from work or made redundant. Having benefitted from a Sport England Community Emergency Fund Grant, this led to the Club offering to suspend the collection of subscriptions for a 5-month period, with around no. 125 of our members parents taking up the option, at the time.

With the planned return to football in July 2020, there was much positivity within the Club, despite the numerous protocols which we all needed to follow. The Club set up a Working Party around these new procedures in order to operate safely, so huge thanks to the Team, which allowed the season to begin on-time in September 2020 with 38 teams and over 520 members playing regularly.

Instances of the Delta variant of COVID then began to increase and in December 2020 under instruction from the Government and the FA, all football stopped again as part of a country-wide lock down, for an initial 4-week period. Matters unfortunately didn't improve in Derbyshire, which only led to the resumption of training and playing in March 2021. In all, over the 12-month period to May 2021, we lost approximately 6 months of playing time. As a Club and Committee though, we were not idle during this time.

Cemetery Road remained the key objective for the Club for 2020/2021.

The Community Sports Hub will allow the Club to grow its membership by offering more sessions, in particular girls and women's football, pan-disability football, and Veterans Teams.

The Hub is not just for football, and we have engaged with several sporting clubs and associations in Glossopdale, who have expressed interest in using the facility. The benefits of participating in sport are well known and coming out of COVID, will mean that centres such as Cemetery Road will be critical in not only promoting physical activity for health and well-being but also the mental aspects, by helping people break the habits of inactivity, isolation, and loneliness. Several of the Agencies involved continued to have furloughed staff during this period however, which delayed matters significantly, but were outside our control. The tender exercise which was due to be undertaken in March 2020 was postponed until November 2020, with a resultant cost increase in the scheme.

The Club continued to work closely with the Football Foundation, the County FA, Derbyshire County Council and High Peak Borough Council during the Year. Our pre-commencement planning discharge application has been submitted and is awaiting approval.

January 2021 saw the launch of our Crowdfunder campaign for the Hub. We launched with a video 'Help Give Football a Home', which galvanised the Club, its volunteers, and members to raise the additional funds needed. Numerous events took place including:

Virtual Pie & Pint - Raffle - Virtual Wine Tasting Event - 24-hour Gaming stream - Auction - Climb the Burj Khalifa - dribbling challenge where a team covered 184 miles in 40 days - Cycling challenges - Running a half marathon - Cake Making - Running to Wembley (equivalent) - Running up Glossop Nab - Family Quiz Night - Litter Picking Challenge. In total over 3 months, the Club and our members were able to raise an additional £50,000 towards the cost of the Centre.Of this amount £32,116 is included in the accounts at 31 May 2021 (the additional amount raised after 31 May 2021).

The aim is now to submit a revised Funding Application to Football Foundation in July 2021 of £1.230m, which alongside funding from High Peak Borough Council, the Club's contribution and other grant providers including Sport England, should mean sufficient funds are in place for the Centre to be built, with works commencing late 2021/early 2022.

Aside from Cemetery Road, we completed on an agreement to use the grass pitch at Melandra Castle, Gamesley. Unused for about 18 months, the pitch and surrounding area was over-grown and had seen vandalism of the perimeter fencing, goal-posts, changing rooms and toilet block. With funding from Club resources and Football Foundation, we were able to bring the site back into use, not only for our older age-group teams, but in partnership with Glossop Wasps, another community-run football club based in the town.

With three pitches at Cemetery Road, a pitch on Newshaw Lane and the new site in Gamesley, our members now have the benefit of playing their games on one of five grass pitches in the town.

We are a huge advocate of the female game and in June 2020 we supported the FA in its launch of the 'Game Plan for Growth' which is inspiring positive change in creating a sustainable future for women's and girls' football in England. At that time, we had - 8 all-female teams - 2 years' experience of running the 5-12-year-old 'Wildcats' sessions - a Ladies Recreational Team and 100 female members. The 5-year plan outlined the aspiration by June 2025, of doubling these participation numbers - as a Club we have also committed to increase the number of women and girls playing football with us, in line with this target.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Ryan Williams - awarded the Rising Star of the Year Award from Derbyshire County Football Association for his work at the Club with our Futsal offering. Ryan is 21 years of age and challenges the players to improve week on week, offering inclusive sessions for a wide range of players, of differing abilities.

In December, the Club organised a food collection for Glossopdale Foodbank. In all we were able to deliver 28 hampers of food and presents to the organisation, for distribution to families in need, around Glossop. Our success on and off the pitch is not measured by trophies.

Our core values centre around providing a safe Club, where there is an ethos around diversity and inclusion, zero tolerance to unacceptable behaviour and where people always treat each other with respect. Our success is measured by developing our players, physical, social, technical, and psychological aspects of the game, consistent with FA best practice. We offer consistent coaching, facilities, equipment, and support to all our teams, across all age groups and abilities.

Above all, we act with honesty and integrity.

Grassroots clubs and leagues are built on volunteers. Not one person in this Club receives a salary and all our volunteers (Managers, Coaches, Committee Members, Trustees) contributions are given from their own time, most with full time jobs and families as well. Again, I want to place on record my huge gratitude to them all, who have had such difficult circumstances to deal with again this year. Their enthusiasm remains infectious, they continue to deliver a community organisation that has the best and safest training and coaching environment possible, and I am proud that they are associated with this Club.

Again, to all our members and their families and to all our Sponsors and Grant providers, we really appreciate your continued support and involvement with the Club.

One final thought around these times…."One day you'll look back and realise how hard it was, and just how well you did" Charlie Mackesy.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st May 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going Concern

The trustees have considered the potential impact of COVID-19 on the principal activities of the charity and they believe that they have sufficient resources in place to operate for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets

No depreciation has been charged on the short leasehold costs included in fixed assets.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
