In return, we have supported Taunton Town FC Ltd with some of their community activities.
- The finances, governance and management of the Youth Programme have been, and will continue to be, separate to and independent of Taunton Town FC Ltd.

## **Section C Objectives and activities**

To advance amateur sport and promote community participation in healthy recreation through the provision of sports coaching and access to facilities for football players aged 4 to Under 18 who live in and around Taunton.
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
To encourage young people to participate in sport as a way of increasing their own personal health, and more broadly the health of their local community. In addition to teaching physical skills, we guide the children about the importance of healthy eating, about the nutrition/hydration they need to fuel their performance.
As a wider public benefit, we create opportunities for adults in the community to come together as we encourage parental involvement to support the young players.

## Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Notable achievements during 2020-2021 included:
- Keeping the club on a sound financial footing despite the long tail impact from Covid-19. At times, we were prevented from operating due to government impositions and FA restrictions.
- The growth of players attending our Taunton Juniors’ sessions, from a position of reducing numbers at the time our former Head Coach departed. The holiday camps we have run have also been successful, with attendance returning to near target levels. A strong Juniors’ section is recognised to be essential for our long term viability, as it will feed players into our training and match squads for U11 – U18.
- Continuation of the collaboration with Bishops Lydeard FC. In excess of 15 of our members have made the transition into adult football, and some are regulars in their first team.
- Development of an association with Queen’s College in Taunton, for use of their facilities alongside the other locations where we play matches and provide training sessions. Queen’s College is a co-educational independent school which has a history of supporting local clubs and societies.
