Trustees Report

Achievements and Performance: The Year in Review

During the course of our first full year with the rejuvenated track, Highgate Harriers (the Club) sustained membership growth and brought record numbers of athletes and runners of all ages and abilities to the Parliament Hill track during Open meetings, League fixtures, Night of the 10,000m PBs and Quad Kids events. While training on home ground resumed in December 2023, the new track was officially opened on 17[th] April 2024 by Michael Mainelli, the 695th Lord Mayor of London. The Club organised a Quad Kids event followed by an Open Meeting to mark the day. After the Lord Mayor had cut the ribbon, our youngsters ran their warm-up lap of the track accompanied by Phil Norman, who competed for Team GB in 3000m Steeplechase in the Tokyo Olympics. In addition, the Lord Mayor unveiled a plaque which can be found on the wall below the terrace. This memorable day heralded another vintage year for the Club.

Road Running and Cross Country

The year covered by this report began in April 2024, which saw the finale of the 2023/24 off-track season: the National Road Relays At Sutton Park. In the 12 stage relay our Senior Men’s Squad were placed overall 3[rd] , with the B team coming in at #26, the 3[rd] B team to finish. The standout performance was Jacob Allen, with the 2[nd] fastest long leg of the day behind Phil Sesemann. In the 6 stage relay, our women’s team took an excellent 5[th] place, underpinned by Rebecca Johnson and Hannah Viner delivering the 4th fastest long and short legs respectively over the day.

Senior Men’s Endurance

As the 2024 season ended Highgate’s Senior Men’s Distance Squad made the most of the summer recess making their second expedition to the Welsh Castles Relay, and this time took victory. This challenging 20 stage road race from Caernarfon Castle to Cardiff takes place over two days with stages averaging over 10 very hilly miles.

With the 2024 National Cross Country Championships having been postponed from February to September, firm, fast ground and warm weather meant for novel conditions at Weston Park in Shropshire, for what was the overdue completion of the 23/24 season, just weeks before 24/25 began.

Clement conditions clearly didn’t disadvantage The 1879 as the men were to seal their first team medals of the post-war era, taking national silver behind Bristol & West AC. The strong team showing was spearheaded by Glasgow-based Highgate man Taha Ghafari with a fine run for 6th place overall.

Closer to home the men defended their Met League Cross Country title for a record-breaking 12th win on the bounce. Having suffered a proverbial bloody nose in losing the first fixture at Claybury to rivals VPH&TH AC a collective rally was instigated, and the men went on to win the final four fixtures and take the overall league title with relative certainty. Particularly pleasing however was the club depth on-show across the local league season; the B team secured a mighty 6th place in the first division – beating the A teams of all but 4 other clubs, our C team won Division 3 and with it promotion, and our Vets Team secured promotion as Division 2 champions.

Local glory was again to provide the foundation for club success at the prestigious regional and national cross country championships. Terry Fawden retained his Middlesex County Cross Country Championship title.

to secure the team championships for the third consecutive year. Standout Highgate performer on the day was Flurry Grierson with a career-best run for bronze. A month later, on home-turf at Parliament Hill, the men re-affirmed their status as a national force taking team bronze in some of the heaviest conditions in living memory. Flurry Grierson continued his breakthrough season by executing a run of the highest-calibre to win individual bronze in a man-v-man sprint finish.

Right after the close of the financial year of this report, leaving the mud behind the men embarked upon yet another successful 12 Stage season during the spring 2025. A strong team performance in Milton Keynes meant it was a second South of England 12 Stage title for the club, while strength-indepth was apparent as the B team also sealed qualification for the National Championships. As is tradition the National 12 Stage was to mark the end of the formal cross country and road season for the squad and the men went out on a high. Marking what was the final fixture under the club’s greatest ever Team Manager – Ben Pochee- the Highgate A team nabbed national silver medals, adding to those won in 2018, 2022 and 2023. Ben is succeeded by long term stalwart of the squad, Rob Wilson.

National 12 Stage Silver Medal Winning Team:

Back row: Joe Young, Jacob Allen, Alex Leprêtre, Peter Chambers, Sam Jinks, Roger Poolman. Front row: Daniel Lewis, Monte Watson, Felix Kent, Flurry Grierson, Thomas Chadwick, Taha Ghafari.

Senior Women’s Endurance

A sign of the increasing breadth and depth of our women’s endurance squad is the range of team events where they placed well over the year. This began in April 2024 with 5[th] place in the 6-stage road relays as mentioned above, and 12[th] place in the 4-stage relays in October. Following this, our women had a strong cross country season coming 9[th] overall in the Met League, and 9[th] in the Vet’s Division, 14[th] in the Nationals at Parliament Hill and 15[th] in the SEAA Championships.

At the SEAA Road Relays in March 2025 our A team came 7[th] overall, and ours was the 2[nd] B team to finish, placed 18[th] . Hannah Viner is a key contributor to the team’s success, and she also won the individual women’s Middlesex Cross Country Championship.

Karima Harris has delivered many remarkable performances and is unbeaten in her age category W55 (women aged 55 and over) since April 2024 in distances from 5k to marathon. In January she set a British record for 10 miles in 59:42sec at the Fred Hughes 10 in St Albans. In March 2025 she ran a world best half marathon in 77:45 sec at the Fleet HM.

The picture shows Karima on her way to that world’s best. She beat the previous best time by 2 minutes. (This is an official European record but remains unofficial at world level as World Athletics don't track this event/age group). This was quickly followed by a British record for 20 miles in 2:06:09 sec at the Hillingdon 20.

It's very unusual for a veteran age 55 athlete to win a race, but that's what Karima achieved Hillingdon, beating all the women's age groups. She took 9 minutes off the previous British W55 record.

League Membership

This season we joined the Assembly League. This is a road running ca. 5k race series that takes place from April-September at various locations in London. This league offers our runners the chance to compete in a friendly environment over the summer, and fills a gap in our offer to these members.

Young Athletes Cross Country

The North West London League provided valuable training ground for cross country and morale boosting wins for 3 of our squads- U17 women, U15 and U13 boys. For all athletes, the league provided opportunity to gain confidence competing in cross country. Some athletes also participated in the Met League which comprises 5 fixtures over the season. All age groups are developing in size and performance, with boys groups in particular in a generally healthy position.

The Middlesex County Championships were held in January, producing two County Champions - Harris Austin U17 and Arjuna Pflug U15 and 2 Runner-Ups - Leoni Delvendahl U17 and Sonny Allen U15.

Highgate Harriers closed in 7 teams (out of 8) and collected a number of teams medals, which was a significant improvement on 2024.We achieved six team medals in total:

From January onwards more championships saw a core group of athletes in action. At the Southern Championships there were top 10 finishes for Sonny Allen (U15 girls) and Harris Austin (U17M), Alex Pettican was 13th in the U13 boys. 2025 saw the National XC championships held on home turf. Leoni Delvendahl finished 26th in U17 women and Harris Austin 9th in U17M.

Representative honours at the National Inter Counties for Alexander Pettican, Sonny Allen, Alexander Mulvihill and Leoni Delvendahl.

Meanwhile on the roads, Thomas Chadwick gained 2[nd] place in the U17 TCS mini-London Marathon.

Highgate Harriers Night of the 10,000m PBs

Highgate Harriers 2024 hosting of Night of the 10,000m PBs was measurably the grandest edition yet.

4

Highgate Harriers Annual Report and Accounts 2024/25 CIO: 1190625

The event beautifully juxtaposed the full spectrum of athletics, a community North London club hosting an event powered by club volunteers and yet attracting a spectator crowd of up to 10,000 people and enticing elite athletes from over 40 different countries. These ranged from Japan, Australia, America, New Zealand, Uganda, Mexico, Czech Republic, Djibouti, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Canada & Portugal.

The 2024 edition included not only the UK Championships but also the GB Trials for the Paris Olympics, and #ParliToParis became a reality for Great Britain’s Megan Keith, who by winning the race booked her spot at the Paris Olympics. Beyond the elite races, our significant progression platform was provided as over 50% of competing athletes ran their fastest ever time at Parliament Hill track and claimed a treasured PB (Personal Best).

Beyond the thousands who came in person, the TV broadcast went out on several YouTube channels and the BBC, with European Athletics YouTube channel alone being watched by over 85,000 people, it is safe to say that Parliament Hill went fully global and did so powered by Highgate Harriers & friends’ local passion.

We are delighted that Ben Pochee, Race Director of Night of the 10,000m PBs, was recognised by England Athletics in their National Volunteer Awards of 2024, for his

Ben Pochee: England Athletics national award winner National Volunteer Awards of 2024, for his Contribution to Athletics and Running. A well-deserved accolade following years of hard work. Congratulations Ben!

Track & Field Season Summer 2024

We offer a range of local team track and field competition opportunities to members of all abilities and age groups. There were many notable individual performances. Remy Weinbrecht was 2nd in the England National U20 Mens Decathlon. Sonny Allen won the U15 Girls SEAA Inter-Counties 800m and set a MYAL record for the 1500m (pictured below in County colours) . Arjuna Pflug became Middlesex County Champion for the U15 Boys 3000m, while Thomas Chadwick was a finalist in the English Schools U17 event at this distance.

In the 400m Joseph Hayes became U20 Middlesex County Champion and won the Southern InterCounties. Having become Middlesex County Champion in the 1500m as an U15 in 2023, this year Alex Mulvihill gained an excellent 2nd place in his first year competing in the U20 age group.

The season was again bookended by our well-attended Open Meetings held in April and September.

Our seniors competed in Division 3 of the Southern Athletics League in a composite team with Mornington Chasers, and were narrowly beaten to the league win by Watford with a margin of one league point. Hosting one of the four fixtures at Parliament Hill gave our members a chance to compete at home.

Highgate Harriers Annual Report and Accounts 2024/25 CIO: 1190625

For the U17 and U20 athletes, we joined London Heathside in a composite team in the Upper Youth

Development League, Southern Region Division 2. Age groups U11 through U17 compete in the Middlesex Young Athletes League (MYAL). We were delighted to welcome the nine competing teams to Parliament Hill for one of the four fixtures and this season finished third – our best placing since 2019. Our team performances are driven by young athletes who regularly turnout for the club, contributing valuable points often across a range of events. A great example is Jack Cobbold, who competed in every MYAL fixture in sprints, middle distance and shot put. Along with Sonny Allen and Arjuna Pflug, Jack got the chance to run in front of the big crowds in the showcase junior 800m races during Night of the 10,000m PBs.

We held monthly Quad Kids events from April through October. These taster events for children aged 4-11 are open to the community, and their popularity is strong with a sell-out 120 plus entrants per event. This provides many budding athletes a smooth transition into the club when they reach around 10 years old.

Recognition and Awards

We would like to place on record a huge thank you to the club members, parents, marshals, volunteers, team managers, coaches and officials who have devoted so much of their time, energy, creativity and professional expertise to help organise, train, and motivate our club athletes to achieve new goals and develop and facilitate the successful running of our club.

Objectives and Activities

The principal objective of the Club is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation in particular by the provision of facilities for athletics.

Training and Competition

We provide a great training environment for our members, developed over many years. Providing over 14 weekly training groups with licensed coaches, we enable members of every ability to train with their peers for cross-country, road running and track and field.

Event participation, from National to Parkrun, is encouraged and celebrated. The club covers the costs of entry to a range of events including road relays, cross country and track and field, for seniors and young athletes. By hosting several Open and League events each season, athletes gain the enjoyment and advantage of competing on home ground. At our Open events and Quad Kids, we welcome nonmembers.

Inclusion

Since 2019 we have provided weekly training sessions for athletes with a range of disabilities, both Physical (para) and Intellectual (special needs) and held annual “give-it-a-go” sessions for para and special needs athletes. Highgate Harriers have close links with both Camden’s Disability Officer and the London Inclusion Sports Academy (LISA). In addition, we were inaugural members of Camden Special Olympics and are a member of Camden Disability Sports & Physical Activity Network (CDSPAN).

Volunteer Development

----- Start of picture text -----
Award Winner - Alima Diabate
----- End of picture text -----

We have coordinators for our coaches and officials, and the Club pays for their learning and accreditation through England Athletics. Young athletes gain sports leadership experience facilitating monthly Quad Kids events – community athletics for age 5-12.

We offer a range of technical and ancillary roles at our hosted events, including our annual Night of the 10,000m PBs which is powered by 150 volunteers from clubs and community.

We are delighted that Alima Diabate, one of our sprints coaches, athletics technical official and a former Club President, won the inaugural bursary for Starter/Starter’s Assistant at the new South of England Officials Association Peter Lee Awards.

Night of the 10kPBs

There are relatively few opportunities for international elite and even high standard club athletes to compete in 10k track races. Highgate Harriers takes pride in its annual Night of the 10,000m PBs event, which was set up to address this gap and also demonstrate the innate passion and excitement that exists in UK club athletics.

Two innovations have contributed to its success. Firstly, by providing free non-ticketed access, entertainment between races and allowing spectators to stand on the track in lane 4 and thus get very close to the runners, the event attracts several thousand spectators creating a thrilling atmosphere that is often missing in all but the biggest televised athletics events. Secondly, by scheduling multiple back-to-back seeded races, each with large field sizes, several hundred athletes can participate. Proof

8

Highgate Harriers Annual Report and Accounts 2024/25 CIO: 1190625

of success is demonstrated by the international elite athletes the event attracts. Outside the London Stadium Diamond League competition, this Night of the 10,000m PBs is the only other international athletics event currently held in London.

Wider community benefits can be summed up as showcasing a motivational sport with zero entry costs to the public. We aim to dazzle and inspire people with the potential of athletics and ideally attract more people to engage with their local club and take up the sport to improve their physical and mental health.

Membership Report

Over the course of the year membership grew overall by 13% to a total of 816 members.

All categories increased, with the exception of female students which reduced by 1. Conversely, male students is the fastest growing cohort.

Pleasingly, under 18 membership returned to growth following a 2-year decline among both girls and boys. The total has reached 346 U18 members, although this remains significantly below the 2022 level of 383.

Adult membership grew by 12.3%, mainly through increasing numbers of non-elite endurance runners, in line with the national trend in athletics participation.

Note on Data: Membership numbers fluctuate throughout the year. This annual 31 March snap-shot restates data from prior years published in earlier reports. The new analysis gives a more reliable likefor-like comparison of membership across the time period.

Grants Report

Jack Petchey Foundation (JPF) grants

Highgate Harriers again benefited from the JPF Achievement Award scheme with nine of our Young Athletes recognised for their efforts. The funding that comes with it allows the club to enhance their athletics experience through purchases that include athletics implements, strength and conditioning equipment and courses.

In addition to the Achievement Award grant Highgate Harriers also successfully submitted a Leader Award application for which we received a further grant, and a financial Recognition Award by way of a thank you from JPF for the way the club manages their schemes.

This Foundation was established in 1999 by Sir Jack Petchey CBE with the purpose of inspiring young people across London and Essex to work hard and reach their full potential. Sir Jack died in June 2024 at the ripe old age of 98. Our club has benefited greatly over the years from Sir Jack’s philanthropy and continues to be grateful to him and his Foundation for the support they provide.

Club History

The Early Years

Highgate Harriers was founded in 1879 by 16 members of two local cricket clubs, the Magdala and Imperial United, who occasionally ran cross-country races and decided to form their own club. The name Harriers was used by many cross-country running clubs as the sport was based on the followers of hare hounds, or harriers. The club’s first run was reported in the Hampstead and Highgate Express on 22[nd] November 1879.

The following year the Amateur Athletic Association was formed and in 1887 the first National CrossCountry championship was held but it was not until 1898 that Highgate Harriers golden period began when the club was 2nd in the Southern Cross-Country Championship. The following year it won both the Southern and National Championships. From then on until 1912 it won the National 4 times, was second 4 times and third once and won the Southern 12 times, never being out of the first two.

The most famous Highgate runner of that time was Albert Aldridge whose time of 51:49 for ten miles would still put him well up in the club rankings. Track meetings were held mostly at Finsbury Park at that time but references to “summer members” suggests that they were considered secondary to the main sport of cross-country.

WW1 & WW2

The club closed down at the outbreak of World War One, but it was re-formed in 1919, thanks to the efforts of Harry Rothery, and they had reasonable success for a few years with fourth and fifth places in the National and a string of firsts and seconds in the Southern. However, more and more clubs were being formed and Highgate’s initial golden period had come to an end.

In the 1930s and many years ahead of its time, the club introduced their Annual Schools Races. Run over the Heath and thought to be the first in the country, it proved a very popular and prestigious event. After WW2 the athletic authorities slowly introduced events for the younger age groups that we have today.

During WW2 the club was again dormant, the only activity of the club being race walking (possibly because some of the walkers tended to be older and may have missed conscription) and after the war a meeting was held to re-form the club. The walkers, led by ‘A D’ McSweeney, felt that they were the most successful part of the club and demanded that they should be a separate section of the club. As a result, the club was split into two sections, the Running Section and the Walking Section, each with its own committee and finances, with a General Committee overseeing both of them, also with its own finances. The situation became even more complicated in 1954 when a Ladies Section, led by Charlie Warner, was formed. This clumsy arrangement subsisted for 26 years until 1980 when the club decided to reunite with all members being under the banner of Highgate Harriers as it is today.

In 1950 the Ladies English National Cross Country Championships were held for the first time from Parliament Hill Fields. The venue proved and has continued to be very popular. The Men’s Championships followed and every third year the National Championships (combined Men and Women) are held here. It is regarded by many as the ‘Home of Cross Country’. Highgate have been closely

10

Highgate Harriers Annual Report and Accounts 2024/25 CIO: 1190625

involved in helping with the organisation of this event: members, parents and friends set the courses and marshal these and other important National, Area and County events. Following the 2018 National event on the Heath, World Athletics presented their World Heritage Award which will be set up at Parliament Hill.

HQ Origins

Although the club started in Highgate its headquarters have roamed throughout North London. Mainly in pubs, sometimes as far away as Ponders End and Wood Green and including the Royal Oak, Golders Green, The Bull and Bush, The Freemasons Arms and the Load of Hay, Haverstock Hill. In 1939 the running track at Hampstead Heath was moved from its old location near the viaduct to Parliament Hill where an 8 lane cinder track was laid and where the club has been ever since. At that time night illumination was provided by oil lamps placed alongside the track. The present all-weather track with proper floodlights was first laid in 1978.

The Original London Marathon

Highgate Harriers London Marathon Championship, which ran from 1968-1973, was the forerunner of the London Marathon we know today.

The club wished to introduce a Marathon race around London streets. Most local authorities and the police would not give permission but in 1968 a course was found away from heavy traffic and the first London Marathon took a very hilly two lap course around Barnet, starting and finishing at Coptall Stadium, Hendon, now known as Stone X. In further signs of the times, the event pre-dated mass participation activities: 45 athletics on the start line and 24 finishers, and sponsorship was courtesy of Booths Gin. The winner was Bernie Allen of Windsor and Eton, in a time of 2:41.57 and the top Club finisher was R Hisk, placed 15[th] in a time of 3:23:28. Press coverage in Athletics Weekly reveals that the winner was running his first marathon and remarked that his had been a really tough, painful initiation. During the ascent of Mill Hill, one athlete asked a course marshal “when do we reach the summit”.

This event did not continue beyond five editions partly due to the tough and hilly course, but also because the growing interest in running enabled race organisers to persuade local authorities to make a central London route available, leading to the event that is known and loved today. We are proud to have played our part in the development of the London Marathon.

Club Centenary – An Auspicious Occasion

The club’s centenary in 1979 was celebrated with an exhibition at Swiss Cottage Library and a banquet at Kenwood House. Freddie Cuthbert was club president, and guests included the Mayors of Camden, Barnet, Haringey and Islington attended together with Sir Horace Cutler, the leader of the Greater London Council. He subsequently granted permission for two members to find a course on the Isle of Dogs for the Avon Half Marathon for Ladies. A few more years and with the help of that success the London Marathon as we know it today came into being.

11

Highgate Harriers Annual Report and Accounts 2024/25 CIO: 1190625

To mark our 130th year an exhibition was held at the Camden Library in Holborn. Here are held the Highgate Harrier club archives which are available for all to inspect. Among the collection items are photos and documents of Olympians and National Champions.

Success from 2000

The women’s squad has been on the podium winning the Southern 6 Stage Road Relays in 2016, the Southern Cross-Country Championship in 2004, finishing 3rd in the National Cross Country Championships in 2006 and retaining the Metropolitan Cross League Title in 2016 (9 titles since 1994).

The club has helped develop many athletes who have gone on to represent their country over the years, but more recent club ‘stars’ have include Simeon Williamson (2008 Olympics 100m), Ben Noad represented Great Britain at the 2007 World Cross Country Championships, Andy Maud represented Great Britain in 2016 at the European Cup 10,000m, Becky Penty & Richard Scott both gaining England vests for International Cross Country and Marathon duties, Shaun Dixon received two call ups for the England team in the 2013 cross country season and Georgia Fear (U15) gained an England Schools cross country call

up in 2014. On July 7[th] 2018, Dominic Ogbechie became the European U18 High Jump Champion with a jump of 2.16 in Gyor, Hungary.

Highgate Harriers Men’s Distance Running – A Golden Age

The era since the mid-2010s has marked a golden age for the club’s men’s distance runners, with the club achieving regular, national success on both road and cross country.

The highest level club team competitions for our senior men are the National & South of England Road Relay Championships and the National & Southern Cross Country Championships. Highgate men secured their first national title since WW1 by winning the National 12 Stage Road Relay Championships in 2016, the club has since gone on to be regular podium contenders at the National 12 Stage Road Relay Championships which rewards our strength in depth. Highgate also won National 12 Stage Road Relay Silver medals in 2018, 2022 and 2023, the latter of which saw the club claim the English Title in finishing runners-up to Scotland’s Central AC, and the team also won Bronze in the 2024 edition. And at a regional Southern level 2024 saw the men claim their maiden South of England 12 Stage Road Relay Championship title, completing a set which includes bronze from 2016 and 2017, and a hat trick of silvers from 2019, 2022 and 2023. Though not quite as medal-heavy as in the springtime 12 Stage Road Relays, the club has experienced podium-level success at the autumn 6 Stage Road Relays Championship too. In winning National 6 Stage Championship silvers in 2014 it could be said a new mindset was established amongst the men – where they could, and should, compete at the national level. While the club has won the fiercely competitive Southern 6 Stage Road Relay Championships in both 2015 and 2017. Through the winter months and on the cross country circuit the men have experienced a similar bevy of success.

The Metropolitan Cross Country League is considered one of the highest standard XC leagues in the country. The league was started in 1966, and 2024 saw the club win the league for a record-breaking 11th season in succession. A base from which they have gone on to build success at regional and national level. At the epic 9-mile-long South of England Cross Country Championships, the club have secured the team title in each of 2016, 2017, 2023 and 2024. With podium finishes achieved in 2015 (bronze), 2018 (silver), 2020 (bronze) and 2022 (silver). At the prestigious National Cross Country Championships, the club were to make a long-awaited podium breakthrough in 2024 where they clinched silver medals

behind Bristol & West AC. This came after many near-misses with two 4th place finishes in 2016 and 2023 and a 5th in 2020. At the National Cross Country Relays – held annually in the later autumn over 4 x 5km – the club have found podiums easier to come by. 2024’s bronze medals complemented by second place finishes in 2015 and 2021. On an individual level the senor men have had 5 team members secure international vests in recent years. Alex Leprêtre, Alex Bampton and Chris Rainsford all representing England in road races. While club 5,000m record holder (13:46:17) Jacob Allen has run for England on both road and cross country. The club’s Iranian distance runner Taha Ghafari has competed at both European (2022) and World Cross Country Championships (2023) representing the IOC Athlete Refugee Team.

Individual domestic honours have also been secured in recent years, notably by the Leprêtre – Allen combination once again, with the pair going 1-2 at the 2022 England 10km Championships. And the former becoming something of a South of England Cross Country specialist – securing a trio of individual silvers in 2020, 2023 and 2024.

Night of the 10,000m PBs

In 2013 the club created an annual celebration of 25 lap track racing in a bid to help boost the progression of club and elite runners, the event was called Night of the 10,000m PBs. In 2014 the club was asked to begin incorporating the British Championships, in 2016 the event hosted the Rio Olympic Team GB trials and then in 2018 and 2019 we hosted the European Cup with 8,000 spectators and 500,000 watching via BBC2. The success of this event under the leadership on Ben Pochee has certainly put Highgate Harriers on the map, with the club now recognised throughout the UK.

Structure, Governance and Management

Highgate Harriers is a charitable incorporated organisation. The Charity operates under a constitution, as last amended on 13 June 2021.

New trustees are recruited from amongst the membership of club, with a focus on the skills that are needed for the charity to continue to thrive and serve the sport of athletics. All trustees serve approximately annual terms, being subject to re-election, by the members present, at each Annual General Meeting. Under the Constitution there must be between three and seven trustees.

The charity is managed by the Management Committee, which meets by-monthly with the trustees.

Financial Review

The Charity's income was £225,531 (2024: £290,418), of which £5,700 (2024: £4,193) was restricted. There was a surplus of £38,168 (2025: £95,322). The 2024 surplus was boosted by a one-off legacy of £79,020.

The Charity’s balance sheet remains strong. Cash increased by £2,473 (2024: £79,712), reflecting surplus, less increasing assets.

Following an increase in subscriptions, the day-to-day operations of the club moved towards a sustainable position. This is determined by removing the non-recurring items of the legacy and 10,000m event, as shown below:

Quad Kids (1,553)
Open meeting (1,822)
Donations (3,684)

The Committee welcome this improved financial position, which facilitates the continued growth of the club, and allows it the flexibility to consider new activities and services.

Targets

The Trustees have set the following measurable targets for 2025/26:

  1. Continue to strengthen brand through diversity of programme, innovation in events and media presence

  2. Generate annual financial surplus sufficient to deliver real terms growth in reserves

  3. Increase session capacity to enable membership growth

  4. Increase support to coaches through appointment of a Coach Coordinator/Head Coach

  5. Launch new membership management system

Risk Management

The Trustees have considered the material risks to which the Club is subject, determined the most material and taken appropriate mitigation. This is summarised in the table below.

Risk Mitigation
Loss of access to the Parliament Hill
track		 Maintaining good with the City of London Corporation and
stressing the value to the City of the facility. Building a
financial reserve to help mitigate any facility disruption.
Reduction in membership, while
continuing with costs that do not
change in proportion to the number
of members		 Strong marketing the club as a focus for improving its
members performance, across all abilities. Maintaining
reserves to support the club during periods when the
popularity of athletics declines.
Safeguarding incident resulting in
actual of potential risk of harm to a
vulnerable member.		 Compliance with England Athletics safeguarding policies
including having a clear policy, safeguarding officer, DBS
checked coaches and a confidential reporting procedure.

Reserves Policy

The charity strives to maintain sufficient reserves to be able to maintain the club through any interruption to its activities, as witnessed in the pandemic, provide emergency funding should there be any threat to its base at the Parliament Hill track, and to be able to maintain its position as one of the UK’s premier athletics clubs.

A consequence of holding international events is that a high level of working capital is required, and that the financial consequences of a failed event are high. Having been in existence for almost 150 years, the trustees are determined to ensure that the club has the resources to continue for at least as long again.

The clubs current general reserves balance of £288,644 (2024: £250,449) is moving towards the level required to achieve these goals .

Highgate Harriers Annual Report and Accounts 2024/25 CIO: 1190625

Public Benefit

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit including the guidance on fee charging. The Charity relies on sponsorship, grants, donations and fees for all our activities. A scholarship scheme is promoted to those unable to afford their membership fees, ensuring that wealth will never be a barrier to participation in club events. At 31 March 2025, 18 (2024: 16) athletes were benefiting from a full scholarship.

Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Going Concern

The Trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a ‘going concern’ basis, because reserves, generally held in readily available cash, are sufficient to cover any forcible negative event.

Statement of Disclosure to our Independent Examiner

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity’s trustees of Highgate Harriers, you are responsible for the preparation of the ac- counts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose.

Joseph Lowe Date: 16 December 2025

Highgate Harriers Annual Report and Accounts 2024/25 CIO: 1190625

Notes to the accounts

1) Accounting policies

(I) Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that, as disclosed in the accounting policies, certain items are shown at fair value. The charity is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.

(II) Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

(III) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.

Governance costs comprise accountancy, strategy development, legal fees, trustee indemnity insurance and trustee recruitment.

Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. Management and administration costs have been allocated to each activity.

(IV) Management and administration costs

These costs comprise expenditure not directly attributable to the charitable or fund-raising activities of the Charity but relate to the furtherance of the Charity's objectives.

(V) Depreciation

Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is provided over 3 years on a straight-line basis in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives. Items of equipment are capitalised only where the purchase price exceeds £500.

(VI) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for furtherance of the objects of the Charity without a specified purpose and are available as general funds or designated funds.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

Restricted funds are used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.

(VII) Accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty

In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The following judgements and estimates are considered by the board to have most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. Tangible fixed assets are depreciated to their estimated residual value over their estimated useful economic life as detailed above.

(VIII) Taxation

The Charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities as it is a registered charity. The charity is VAT registered, but due to the nature of its income, is restricted in the proportion of its input VAT that can be recovered. Irrecoverable VAT is included within expenditure. Where applicable, income is shown net of VAT.

19

Highgate Harriers Annual Report and Accounts 2024/25 CIO: 1190625

(IX) Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors that are receivable within one year and do not constitute a financing transaction are recorded at the undiscounted amount expected to be received, net of impairment. Those that are receivable after more than one year or that constitute a financing transaction are recorded initially at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently at amortised cost, net of impairment.

(X) Trade and other creditors

Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(XI) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial activities, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities.

(XII) Going Concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
