**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**

We have 311 registered players for the 2021/2022 season. 

Registered teams playing in age groups U7 to U16, with transition for junior players to an U23 and a senior team. 

Provision of facilities leased from Northumberland Council principally at Dukeshouse Wood to facilitate access of children to competitive football on grassed pitches. 

**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)** 

In addition, facilities rented from Wentworth Leisure Centre to support senior team matches and training facilities on a grassed pitch, as well as other local venues for matches to be played. 

Development of relationship with Hadrian Learning Trust to provide use of 3G artificial surface on a commercial basis for training and competitive matches. A delay in the school rebuild meant that the Club was unable to benefit from the 3G facility until September 2021. This facility has allowed training sessions and matches to be played with minimal disruption due to weather during the 2021/2022 season. 

This facility has provided the capacity for more training time for all members, which previously had been impacted due to weather conditions when grassed pitches have been unplayable. 

Trustees have invested in a financial system during the season to allow for more effective oversight of the collection of membership fees and oversight of financial performance. 

Trustees ensure the public benefit requirement and have taken into account when relevant, in undertaking planning our activities for the year. 

## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: 

- policy on grantmaking; 

- policy programme related investment; 

- contribution made by volunteers.

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

The club was severely impacted by the Covid pandemic during the year as a result of numerous restrictions for the North East from April 2020 to March 2021. Our members, coaches and parents were very keen to provide a return to football training and matches. This provided support to our members health and wellbeing as well as returning to a sense of normality for our members. 

Some of the main achievements from this season:- 

1. The club successfully negotiated use over the newly developed 3G training and match facilities at Queen Elizabeth High School in partnership with Hadrian Education Trust. There was a delay in the construction of the school, which led to a subsequent delay in the Club being able to use the new facilities. In September 2021 the Club was able to start to use the facility, allowing use for four evenings a week and at the weekend in a shared use agreement. 

2. The club maintains FA community club status. 

3. All coaches have completed age appropriate FA child and youth football coach certification. 

4. All teams are covered by registered and trained first aiders and all volunteers are appropriately disclosure checked. 

4. 311 players are registered to play for Hexham Football Club, which is a slight decrease from 2020/2021. 

5. Training is offered for all age groups once a week. 

6. Introduction of an U23 team for 2021/2022 season. Following feedback from older junior players and coaches that the transition from U17 to senior team was a significant step, the Club introduced an U23 team to compete in an U23 league.
