## **OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY** 

The overarching goal of Deptford Lionesses remains steadfast: to enhance the involvement of young girls in football and non-contact boxing within Deptford and its adjacent areas, thereby fostering community cohesion and ensuring inclusivity. Recognizing the existing gender disparities in sports participation, we are dedicated to eliminating barriers by providing free-of-charge sports sessions to all interested girls, thereby ensuring that no girl is left behind in their sporting journey. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

In the past year, Deptford Lionesses has continued its mission with unwavering commitment. We are proud to report that our efforts have resulted in significant achievements and tangible impacts within the community. Our provision of free sports sessions since 2021 has garnered remarkable support, with our members consistently showcasing dedication and skill, securing numerous victories in local competitions. 

Moreover, our initiatives have not only encouraged increased female participation in sports but have also served as a catalyst for promoting gender equality and empowerment. Through various outreach programs, workshops, and mentoring initiatives, we have facilitated the development of leadership and teamwork skills among young girls, thus contributing to their holistic growth and development. 

Our HAF camps, designed to provide a holistic experience encompassing food, arts & crafts, day trips, and physical education, have been met with resounding success. The overwhelming response received underscores the significant impact of such initiatives in addressing community needs and fostering a sense of belonging among participants. 

Furthermore, our introduction of the NFL Flag program has garnered positive feedback and interest from girls across the borough, highlighting the effectiveness of tailored sports programs in engaging diverse demographics. The continued growth and success of our girls-only football development sessions reflect the effectiveness of our approach in creating a safe and inclusive environment for girls to thrive.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Charities Act 2011 imposes on trustees the duty to diligently prepare financial statements annually, ensuring they accurately reflect the Charity's financial status and surplus for the given period. In fulfilling this obligation, trustees are entrusted with several key responsibilities. They must carefully select appropriate accounting policies and consistently apply them. Furthermore, trustees are expected to exercise prudent judgment when making estimates and judgments, ensuring they are both reasonable and sound. Moreover, it is the trustees' responsibility to prepare financial statements based on the assumption that the charity will continue operating as a going concern, unless circumstances dictate otherwise. 

In addition to financial reporting, trustees are accountable for maintaining comprehensive accounting records that provide a clear and transparent overview of the Charity's transactions. These records should be detailed enough to accurately portray the Charity's financial position and ensure compliance with legal requirements outlined in the Charities Act 2011. Furthermore, trustees are entrusted with the vital task of safeguarding the Charity's assets, necessitating the implementation of adequate measures for fraud prevention and detection.

|---|---|
|**Recognition of income**|These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:|
|| the charity becomes entitled to the resources;|
||·       it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and|
|| the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.|
||There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required|
|**Offsetting**|or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.|
||Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income|
|**Grants and donations**|recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).|
||In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent|
||that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant|
||only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).|
|**Legacies**|Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has|
||been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in|
||the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the|
||charity or have been met.|
|**Government grants**|The charity has received government grants in the reporting period|
||Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the|
|**Tax reclaims on**|donor.  Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift|
|**donations and gifts**|and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or|
||the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.|
|**Contractual income and**|This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or|
|**performance related**|services or met the performance related conditions.|
|**grants**||
|**Donated goods**|Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be<br>exchanged) unless impractical to do so.|
||The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be|
||the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on|
||receipt.  In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised|
||as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.|
||Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the|
||expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income|
||from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance|
||sheet.  On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading|
||activities' and the proceeds from  sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading|
||activities'.|
||Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets|
||and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.|
||Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations|
||when receivable.|
|**Donated services and**|Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of|
|**facilities**|the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.|

|**Deferred income**|No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.|
|**Creditors**|The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade<br>discounts|

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did 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.
