**Clapham Rangers FC Trustees’ Annual Report for the period from 01 January 2022 to 31 December 2022** ## **Objectives and Activities** The purpose and principal activity of Clapham Rangers FC (“the Club”) is to provide football facilities within the Clapham and surrounding areas of London for children and young people aged 21 and under. The broader purpose being to promote the physical health benefits of community participation in physical activity and recreational sport _("facilities" means land, buildings, equipment, access to coaching and organising sporting activities)._ Formed in 2007, Clapham Rangers is one of the foremost grass football clubs in Lambeth with more than 300 registered players. During the period to 31 December 2022, the Club provided training and competitive football for 20 football teams. These boys pay an annual subscription to be members of the club. The Club provides a wide range of football based activities to the members utilising the support of both paid qualified football coaches and volunteers for the day to day running of the club. The Club’s teams participate in competitions affiliated with the London County Football Association during the regular football season between September and May. During these months, the club provides its members two football sessions per week, covering both training and matches. In addition to the competitive activities the Club also provides one “development” session per week for non-members. These sessions operate on a weekly drop-in basis or in the form of camps during the school holidays and during the year increased the number of children involved with the Club above 350. The club registered as a charity for the first time during 2021. Throughout the year all trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. ## **Achievements and Performance** The 2021/22 football season saw the club return to normal operations following the Covid-19 pandemic. Throughout the period we have continued to invest in football management, club administration and of course quality football coaches. We have retained FA Charter Standard Community Club status and are a Nike Partner Club. The Club had a stable year in terms of normal operations, with a consistent number of members participating in competitive matches compared to previous seasons. The Club’s focus for the 2021/22 season was to increase participation from a wider cross section of the local community. As a result, the club has conintued to invest in growing outreach activities with local primary schools and girls specific football sessions. ## **Achievements and Performance (continued)** The club continued its commitment to offer financial support for those members requiring assistance and is pleased to have been able to provide support for all applications during the season. The Club’s financial support takes the form of a reduction in the membership fees of between 50% and 100%, providing more than 40 bursaries during the period. ## **Financial Review** The Club budgets to break-even each year while retaining a positive cash balance, the club’s only financial asset. During the period the Club made a loss of £5,442, resulting in a closing cash balance of £23,258. The Club holds a reserve of £2,000. This reserve is held in order to cover the fixed cost elements of entering the club into competitive competitions for a period of one year. The club is primarily funded through annual membership fees but does also rely on sponsorship from local businesses and, to a limited extent, other fundraising activities. The trustees are confident that the Cub will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The Club is constituted under a trust deed as Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) whose only voting members are its trustees. The trustees are proposed and approved via an Annual General Meeting of the Club’s members.
