## **Eagles United Football Club**
## **Report of the trustees**
## **For the year ended 31 August 2024**
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued in March 2005).
## **Structure and governance**
Eagles United Football Club is an incorporated club and registered as a charity on 21 October 2019. The serving trustees agree to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 in the event of the club being dissolved while he or she is a member, or within twelve months after he or she ceases to be a member.
## **Management and control**
The organisational strusture places overall responsibility of the charity upon the Board which is led by Dr Fatos Berisha as Chair of the Board of Trustees.
## **Aims and Objectives**
•The purpose of the charity remains the advancement the sport and social education of children and young people living in the London boroughs of Barnet, Enfield, Haringey and Islington, by the provision of training and facilities for playing football.
•Ultimately, Eagles United’s vision is to become the grassroots football club of choice for children in our community.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE:**
During the reporting period, Eagles United achieved several key sporting milestones that reflect our continued growth and commitment to youth development.
Our U13 team enjoyed a successful season, winning the Regents Park League and reaching the semi-finals of the associated cup competition. The U14s represented the club in the London Youth Showcase League and progressed to the final of the League Cup, where they were narrowly defeated by RC Lens.
A significant development this year was the establishment of two girls’ teams, who have been registered to compete in the Regents Park League for the 2024–25 season. We also recorded increased participation, particularly among U7 and U8 age groups, demonstrating the charity’s growing reach and engagement with younger players.
In addition, several Eagles United players were invited for trials at top-tier professional academies, further highlighting the quality of our coaching and the positive development environment we provide.
These achievements underline the positive impact of our work and the dedication of our coaching staff, volunteers, and community partners.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
Our future plans center on the continuous enhancement of the football education we provide to all our young players. We strive to support their mental and physical well-being, believing this will foster greater individual and collective success both on and off the pitch.

To advance this vision, we have continued discussions with Barnet Council regarding a potential partnership for Childs Hill Park. Unfortunately, progress has been limited due to budget constraints on the Council’s side. Nonetheless, the planned improvements still include installing primary drainage, resurfacing, and re-grading the pitch—upgrades that will make it a more suitable and sustainable playing surface.
Additionally, we remain dedicated to creating opportunities for our players to be noticed by top-level scouts. We will continue to engage with scouts from leading London academies, many of whom we have established strong relationships with and who have regularly attended our matches this season.
## **Challenges:**
The charity continues to face significant challenges arising from a shortage of quality football facilities. Our current venue at Childs Hill Park suffers from poor maintenance, limiting opportunities for consistent play and player development, particularly during the winter months. Access to artificial grass pitches, essential for training and matches between October and March, is both extremely expensive and difficult to secure due to high demand. Enhancing these facilities remains a critical priority to support our programmes and ensure safe, inclusive participation for all members
Securing sufficient funding remains a persistent challenge amid growing competition for limited grants and donations. Economic uncertainties have impacted donor capacity, making it harder to maintain steady income streams. Strengthening donor engagement and diversifying fundraising approaches are essential to sustaining and expanding our activities
Engaging the wider community poses ongoing difficulties, particularly recruiting dedicated volunteers. Despite efforts to promote our programs, awareness and participation levels have room to grow. Building stronger community connections and improving communication will be key to fostering broader involvement.
## **Financial Review**
Result for the year: Total income for the year was £96,566 (2023;£93,108) which was mainly from individual donations and voluntary income without which the Eagles United Football Club would not have generated the current range and volume of football training and coaching activities.
During the year Eagles United made a nett deficit (loss) of £25,581 (2023: surplus (profit) of £1,244).
## **Investment Powers**
Eagles United Footbal Club has no investment assets and its cash funds are held in a Natwest Bank current account.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The organisation has in place a risk assessment policy, whistle blowing policy and anti-fraud, and theft and corruption policy. We also ensure that all independent examination reports are placed before the Board of Trustees for their perusal.
## **Statement of Responsibilities of the Trustees**
The trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charity for the year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
Page 4
Docusign Envelope ID: 8F387912-50FE-4954-80BF-14BEAC2EE5DE
· prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for prevention and detection of fraud and their This report has been prepared in accordance with special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

## **Independent Examiners' report**
## **To the members of**
## **Eagles United Football Club**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024.
## **Responsibilities of the Directors for the preparation of accounts**
The charity’s Trustees (who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").
The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.The Charity`s gross income did not £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).
It is my responsibility to :
- Examine the accounnts under section 145 of the Charities Act
- to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)b of the
- Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of Independent Examiner`s Statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concernng any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair" view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner`s Statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- • the accounts did not comply with the accounting records; or • the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a " true and fair" view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no nconcerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this breport in order to benable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
