London Jaguars continued running fitness sessions focused on strength and conditioning training for young people aged 11-16 in Tower Hamlets. These sessions remain an integral part of our football training programs, helping young participants develop physical fitness, discipline, and teamwork.
Our commitment to offering high-quality, inclusive football experiences has been further strengthened by our FA Charter Standard Club accreditation, ensuring we provide safe, wellorganized, and sustainable football opportunities to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
## **New Project: Free Football for the Local Community**
In January 2024, we launched an exciting new initiative: Free Football for the Local free, accessible football training and recreational sessions to young people in Tower Hamlets, removing financial barriers to participation.
Through this initiative, we have:
- Increased football participation among local children and young people.
- Provided structured training sessions led by qualified coaches.
- Created a safe and welcoming space for young people to develop skills, confidence, and social connections.
women through exercise, nutrition education, and wellbeing support. This initiative has significantly contributed to improving the physical and mental health of its participants.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2. Enhancing HAF Programmes Increasing capacity to reach even more young people during school holidays.
3. Developing More Community Sports Initiatives Introducing additional sports and recreational activities beyond football.
4. Securing Long-Term Funding Strengthening grant applications and partnerships to ensure financial sustainability.
5. Increasing Volunteer Engagement Recruiting and training volunteers to support our programs and outreach efforts.
Our mission to support disadvantaged communities, promote active lifestyles, and foster social inclusion remains at the core of all our work.
## **Results**
Full details of the financial transactions are contained in the attached accounts. The total incoming resources for the period was £72,110 and total resources expended was £70,574. The net income for the period was £1,536. The net assets of the charity at 31 March 2024 were £8,412.
## **Future plans**
The charity plans to continue the sort of activities it has engaged in over the last few years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. More volunteer input remains a constant ambition.
## **Reserves Policy**
The management committee had established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not be between 3 and 6 months of the resources expended. Given our minimum expenditure on overheads, we continue to think that a figure of between £1,000 and £2,000 would be more appropriate given our activities.
## **Risk Review**
The Trustees have conducted its own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan to allow for the diversification of funding and activities. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.
