Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year		 The charity's main activities - FY24
The Club provides athletics at John Charles Centre on Thursday evening
all year round. This is available for any athlete U11 to senior level and
wheelchair section. It provides track and field and endurance coaching.
The club also has a significant membership who train off site at different
venues (especially Becketts Park Leeds University campus). Athletes are
encouraged to compete for the club.
Trustee and Treasurers Report FY24 -
Income for the year from Subs & Training Fees has increased from last
year to £41,454 reflecting a growing membership and some additional
income from the introduction of Saturday training sessions.
We acknowledge again a very kind donation made from Francis &
Graham Hartney of £500. Plus the ongoing efforts of Alison Farley with
the Boxing Day Handicap which this year netted £114.
Grant money was received from both the Northern T&F League and the
Youth Development T&F League - both events hosted at John Charles
Centre for Sport and operating at a loss. The club continues to be firm
supporters of these leagues.
In Nov 2023 the club hosted a fixture of the West Yorkshire XC League at
Middleton Park. The first fixture we have hosted in several years. This
netted a £415 profit for the club, largely through the omission of
portaloos. A mistake I won’t be allowed to make again!
Our largest outgoing and greatest financial head-wind continues to be
John Charles Centre for Sport IBAC and Track hire - the accounts are up
to and including end Feb 2024. March track hire costs are yet to land.
In FY24 we moved away from Worldpay as our payment provider and
thanks to the hard efforts of our Chair, Celia De Maria we have
introduced the new COACHA system which will prove to be a real asset
to how we manage the club, both financially and administratively.
Equipment spend has increased in FY24 - c. £4,487. £1.8k was spent on
a new club gazebo and c. £3k has been invested back into our coaches
for equipment support via an initiative excellentlyran through Pete

French. This has recently been completed pre financial year-end.

Coaches recognition was rewarded at Christmas - and rightly so, the £1.9k line highlighting this. Without our coaches we wouldn’t be the club that we are and this was appreciated by the coaches themselves.

For the second year in a row an Awards Night was hosted, with a net contribution from the club of c. £1,235. A big thanks to for the kind £1k donation from one of our sponsors Munroe K to help offset the event costs. Plus, a special note of thanks to Sarah Samuels who tireless work made the event the success it was. We will repeat this year upon year.

Competition Entry continues to be a large outgoing and just over £5k has been expended on Harriers team competition entries and our T&F affiliation into the Northern T&F League and the Youth Development League Lower T&F Leagues.

The club remains in a solid financial position with excellent cash reserves, has plans for ongoing development and aims to support our Athletes and Coaches in FY25.

Section E Financial review
