Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Notable achievements during 2023-2024 included: • Keeping the club on a sound financial footing. • The continued growth of players attending our Juniors’ sessions and holiday camps. A strong Juniors’ section is essential for our long term viability, as it feeds players into our training and match squads for U11 – U18. • Creation of our new under 18’s team that are competing in he south west counties youth league and the Western Counties Floodlight League • We have seen a change with some Trustees leaving and being replaced by new members. Overall, we have a strong and active group of trustee’s • Development of a much more active social media presence. This has had a significant positive impact on our ability to attract members, and fill spaces in our holiday camps. It has also assisted with recruiting new coaches to fill vacancies. Continued development of a new end of season presentation system, using Taunton Town FC home games as the focal point. Feedback has been positive, but we continue to review, and the lessons learned will be used to make the experience even better in the future.
