Summary of the main	Para 1.20	TRAINING:
achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.			COVID-19– the charity supported member clubs in advice and guidance on activities and operations they could perform under COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. This encourage clubs to use social media to encourage communities to take up individual training and exercise programmes in their own homes to keep fit and healthy. COMIC RELIEF COVID-19 GRANT APPLICATIONS– the Charity worked closely with Sporting Equals to understand how we could assist our network to apply for COVID-19 Grant Funding. Charity members were trained in how they could safely return to training sessions (with limited numbers in training groups) and identifying COVID-19 infection control equipment needed to provide a safe training environment. LONDON MARATHON CHARITY TRUST COVID-19 FAITH CENTRE GRANT APPLICATIONS– the Charity worked closely with the London Charity Marathon Trust in collaboration with GNG Smethwick Gurdawara (Sikh Faith Centre) to identify and train members of the faith centre to be able to run physical activity sports sessions in Yoga, Table Tennis and Badminton using the unused facilities within the faith centre itself. HEALTH: COVID-19– the charity supported member clubs during COVID-19 lockdown restrictions by encouraging clubs to use social media to encourage communities to take up individual training and exercise programmes in their own homes to keep fit and healthy. Coaches were delivering football drills for people to take-up on their own as well as encouraging former participants to go on individual walks and bike rides when restrictions allowed. COMIC RELIEF COVID-19 GRANT APPLICATIONS– the Charity worked closely with Sporting Equals to understand the COVID-19 pandemic and

the infection controls measures needed to be put in place to provide safe physical activity training sessions to members. SPORTS PARTICIPATION: KFF Summer Tournaments – We were unable to hold out annual Football events across the country due to COVID-19 restrictions in place and member clubs being wary of attending big gatherings. LONDON MARATHON CHARITY TRUST COVID-19 FAITH CENTRE GRANT APPLICATIONS – the Charity worked closely on this project to try and encourage members of hard to reach communities try and resume physical activity using sport as a tool. The Charity worked in collaboration with Sporting Equals as an activator and our network of clubs to enable clubs to successfully make grant funding applications allowing them to resume training post the COVID-19 lockdown. Member clubs initially encourage participants to train individually in their back gardens and send videos which were then sent out to other club members on social media to encourage engagement in physical activity. As lockdown eased, the funding allowed member clubs to purchase additional equipment needed to adhere to COVID19 infection control measures such as ensuring each participant has their own football, their own football training top or bib, face masks, hand sanitiser etc. KFF Representative Team – the Charity launched it’s own representative team to ensure that there was going to be a provision for the BAME community in Birmingham to be able to play competitive football at a semiprofessional level. We worked in collaboration with a member club to provide both financial and coaching support for an 18 month period. Development of local Clubs – the charity continues to support local communities across the UK to resume post-COVID friendly sports activities as well as helping existing clubs provide additional community engagement by

introducing “Walking Football”, “Walking Clubs” and “Heath Awareness” programmes. “Walking Football” proved popular during this period as it was a minimal contact sport and helped people of all ages and sexes with the opportunity to rediscover the joys of playing football where the basic elements of playing competitive football are made accessible to the participants through the game being reduced to walking pace and minimal contact. The initiative addresses both social inactivity and social isolation in the community from COVID-19 concerns. “Walking Clubs” proved popular within the community as it require little/no equipment and could be taken up by individual members as well as people in small groups. The initiative addresses both social inactivity and social isolation within the community especially women. “Running Clubs” proved popular with members recording running times and encouraging messages on social media and posting on the club/faith centre face-book pages. SOCIAL INCLUSION: Anti Racism – the charity continues to support national anti-racism football campaigns with “Kick-it Out” and “Show Racism the Red Card”. Through raising awareness activities we have continued to raise the profile of these key initiatives in order to challenge discrimination, encourage inclusive practices and campaign for change. “Walking Football” proved popular during the year providing older men with the opportunity to rediscover the joys of playing football where the basic elements of playing competitive football are made accessible to older participants through the game being reduced to walking pace. The initiative addresses both social inactivity and social isolation following the COVID-19 pandemic. “Walking Clubs” proved popular within the community as it require little/no equipment and could be taken up by individual members as well as people in

small groups. The initiative addresses both social inactivity and social isolation within the community especially women.
