To promote sport 2. To remove barriers to sport 3. To protect the environment These can be further explained through our work towards the achievement of the following outcomes: - To advance amateur sport for the public benefit, in particular but not exclusively by providing sports kit and equipment to children living in poverty in the UK. Enabling participation in healthy recreational activities. - To prevent or relieve the poverty or financial hardship of children for the public benefit, in particular but not exclusively by providing sports kit and equipment to children living in poverty in the UK. Enabling them to participate in healthy recreational activities that they could not otherwise afford. - For the public benefit, the protection and preservation of the environment, in particular but not exclusively by the promotion of recycling and provision of recycled sports kit and equipment. ## **Evaluation of Aims and Objectives** Action For Sport regularly reviews our aims and objectives as part of our yearly review and reports back on the outcomes of our work. The review considers the impact of our work on our key target cohorts and considers the developments and improvements to keep the charity focussed whilst allowing for the required evolution. The key aims of the charity are cross referenced across all out projects, to ensure we continue to fulfil these objectives and our registration with the Charity Commission. ## **Key Projects** The charity currently runs four key projects to help us deliver our intended outcomes. All of our projects are developed to achieve the charities aims and objectives. These projects are: - **1) 'Bring Your Boots' - Collecting Sporting Footwear** Many children and young people are prevented from playing sport because their families cannot afford to buy sporting footwear and kit. Action For Sport collects new and used sporting footwear to distribute to children and young people living in poverty in the UK. - **2) 'Future Stars' - Distributing Sporting Footwear** Action For Sport works with schools and sports clubs to identify children who are living in poverty. Action For Sport then works with these children and young people's families to ensure that they have the correct sporting footwear and kit to enable them to enjoy and participate in sport. **2 |** P a g e - **3) 'Hope, Help and Heroes' - Educating the Future Generations** Our education programme works with schools and colleges to deliver the essential message around helping others. We work to educate children and young people about the effects of poverty, the benefits of sport and about their physical and mental health. - **4) ‘Action For Sport Events’ - Sporting Events with Support and Education** We organise and deliver our Action For Sport Events to promote the importance and availability of sport. We offer support to those who need it and encourage others to give back. These events focus on unlocking a love for sport and life. ## **Public Benefit** Action For Sport continue to operate in accordance with the Charities Commission guidance on public benefit. The charity continues to support the public by providing sporting footwear and kit to families living in poverty in the UK. We continue to help educate the future generations about the importance of sport and the environment. Action For Sport also work to give the public opportunities to participate in sport which otherwise they would not have. **3 |** P a g e **SECTION 2 Achievements and Performance** Action For Sport continue to build on our now multiyear success. At the time of this report the charity has supported 9972 families, giving them a staggering £137,693 of sporting footwear and kit to enable them to play sport. As a result of the collection of outgrown or unwanted sporting footwear and kit, the charity has saved a massive 7.6 tonnes of material from going to landfill. The organisation has also worked very hard to educate young people about our key objectives and have worked directly with 763 young people between the ages of 4 and 18 years old. The funding that Action For Sport has received has been used to cover the general running costs of the organisation, to cover distribution, education, events and essential staff. The work that Action For Sport has undertaken has directly impacted on 10,735 individuals. The impact of this is immeasurable. This will have enabled these people to play sport, to be more social active, to develop new friendship groups. This will have had an impact on physical health, mental health, education and possibly even crime reduction. The impact is not only there for the individual but also there for the wider society. The work will have had in impact on societies health, community cohesion, education and crime. Action For Sport have a clear goal to build on this success. The charity will utilise the current position to continue to grow and develop the organisation, resulting in the ability to provide more support and impact for both the individuals we support and the wider society as a whole. **4 |** P a g e **SECTION 3 Financial Review** The full Directors Financial Statement can be found in Appendix A at the end of this report and provides the full overview of the charities financial position. ## **Financial Information** The balance of the charity at 31[st] March 2021 was: £565.00 The balance of the charity at 31[st] March 2022 was: £6,199.00 The income for the charity during the financial year 2021/22 was: £41,303.00 The outgoings for the charity during the financial year 2021/22 was: £34,540.00 ## **Reserve** The charity only holds a minimal reserve owing to the infancy of the organisation.
