## **Management and control**
The organisational structure places overall responsibility of the charity upon the Board which is lead by Dr **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 2024–25 reporting period** , **Eagles United continued to provide high quality football development** While none of our teams secured league titles this season, they all enjoyed strong and competitive campaigns. Our U15 team competed in the prestigious Junior Premier League, providing players with the opportunity to develop against some of the highest quality opposition in youth football. Our U14 team participated in the London Youth Premier Showcase League, while all other age groups, including our girls' teams, competed in the Regents Park Youth League.
Player participation continued to grow, particularly within the younger age groups. The increase in registrations at U9 level was especially encouraging and resulted in the club entering two teams into the Regents Park Youth League for the following season. This growth reflects the continued confidence that local families place in our coaching programme and the positive reputation the charity has established within
We were also delighted that two Eagles United players were invited to attend trials with professional football academies, further demonstrating the quality of coaching and player development provided by the club.
These achievements highlight the ongoing dedication of our coaches, volunteers, players and families, whose collective commitment continues to strengthen the charity and its impact within the local community.
Our Head Coach, Ajet Shehu stepped down from his role of the Head Coach at the club at the end of the season. We would like to express our sincere gratitude and wish him every success in his future commitments.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
Our focus remains on continuously improving the quality of football education and player development across all age groups, ensuring that every young person has the opportunity to reach their full potential both on and off the pitch. We aim to further strengthen the standard of our squads so they can continue to compete successfully in the various leagues and competitions in which they participate.
**Page 2**
Although there has been no significant progress regarding the long-term redevelopment of Childs Hill Park beyond routine maintenance, we remain committed to improving the facilities available to our players. A key priority is to repurpose the currently unused pavilion at the lower end of Childs Hill Park into a dedicated changing facility for our girls' teams. This would provide a safe, appropriate and inclusive environment that supports the continued growth of girls' football within the club.
We will also continue to build relationships with professional academies and scouts, creating opportunities for talented players to showcase their abilities and progress within the football pathway.
## **Challenges:**
The availability and quality of football facilities remain the most significant challenge facing the charity. The
Rising pitch hire costs present an additional financial challenge. Increasing venue costs place significant

## **Independent Examiners' report**
## **To the members of**
## **Eagles United Football Club**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025.
## **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 exceeded £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.
