Howden AFC

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 May 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2021. This is the first such report since Howden AFC ('the Charity') incorporated as a CIO.

The Charity Information forms part of this Trustee Report

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The primary objectives of the Charity are to advance the education and well-being (both physical and mental) of children and adults in Howden (East Yorkshire) and surrounding areas.

The Charity's primary methods for achieving its objectives are by provision of football-based activities through league football teams, social football and community football sessions. Delivery of those sessions is by unpaid volunteer coaches who each provide at least 3 hours' coaching and match day assistance per week.

Public benefit

The Trustees have complied with the duty in Section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission in respect of public benefit and in planning the activities for the year, have kept this in mind.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The Charity's initial operations following incorporation commenced in the aftermath of the first UK Coronavirus lockdown. The Charity's objectives could not have been more relevant.

During the period of this report, the Charity saw a large upsurge in interest in physical activity and general well-being. The Charity was able to increase the number of football teams / groups its provided sessions by three. The Trustees were pleased to note that this included the Charity's second girls' football team. The teams / groups added were a new U6s group, an U7s team ('Rockets'), and an U11 girls' team ('Storm'), through which in the region of 40 additional children are being helped by the Charity

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The Charity has maximised its financial control in the period by collecting participants' fees monthly in advance by a direct debit system, moving away from the cash-based system of the old unincorporated association. This enables the Charity not only to be able to predict income much more accurately but also to identify where participants are in financial hardship and in need of the Charity's assistance.

The policy of the Charity is to match regular income from participants as closely to regular operational expenses as possible, relying on grant income for capital expenditure and improvements of facilities. The regular monthly income generated by direct debits means that the Charity did not maintain a reserve in the period.

FUTURE PLANS

In the financial year following the period of this report, the Charity aims to continue growing its participant membership by adding more teams / groups. In particular, the Charity will be seeking to add more girls' teams and more social / community football initiatives.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Howden AFC

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Howden AFC

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Howden AFC (the Trust) for the year ended 31 May 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do 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 concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
