| A description of the principal risks facing the charity |
Para 1.46 | Continued growth of commercial football academies in Northamptonshire along with the expansion of professional clubs in North Northants (e.g. Leicester City, Northampton Town FC). Also risks associated with funding as the cost of living impacts revenues with corresponding increases in other services to support our provision of football in the community (e.g. pitch hire fees increasing in line or in excess of CPI). In terms of professional academies, its inevitable as Fundamental continues to improve that we will lose more players to pro clubs. This positive trend continued in 2022-23 and is set to increase in future years following additional early development of our playergroups. |

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2023. 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).
We were established in 2016 to provide players in Northamptonshire extra training and development
A core principle is that Players REMAIN at their grassroots teams #Friends
Today we have U6 - U13s along with a Goalkeeper School
Our training venues are at Tresham Colleges in Corby and Kettering and our numbers are limited - principle develop quality over quantity (desire however is the strongest trait for continuous development)
We are investing in our pitches with Premiership Lawncare as we believe our players deserve every opportunity to show the best of who they can be.
We don't stop learning, sharing and developing as individuals, as a team and as a club
THIS IS FUNDAMENTAL #FUN #Friends #Football

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2023
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The charity has provided its services to over 150 children across Northamptonshire and Leicestershire with the provision of training and matches in relation to Association Football.
It has also aligned with Cransley Hospice Trust in fulfilling a wider community connection by supporting them in the provision of end of life care for the people of Northamptonshire by raising over £1,000 in 2022-23.
A new pitch development grant has been secured with the Football Foundation at Loddington & Mawsley Cricket Club over a six (6) year term.
We have successfully completed the following in 2022-23:
1) New pitch development grant implemented at Loddington with the Football Foundation over 6 year period.
2) Continued community club day supporting Cransley Hospice Trust.
3) Continued development of the radius from which fundamental draws its players
Fundraising activities
We have successfully raised funds to support the provision of Association Football in the community. We also have transitioned to a new Club Sponsor - Premiership Lawncare in 2022 to support wider club development opportunities.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity held £1,070 at the end of the period which is an essential amount to meet the commitments of developing further teams into July - September of the following year.
Principal funding sources
Donations from parents Sponsorships from local businesses
Investment policy and objectives
The current cost of living crisis places pressures on donations and business sponsorship. By broadening the geographical and socio-economic groups that support NFFC, we have a more diverse base of fundraising to provide a strong foundation with limited risks to any one donor.
Reserves policy
In addition, Affiliation (c. £300 per season and rising as we expand to c. U16s in the next 3 years), wider insurance expenditure (c. £350 per season) and significant investment in Zoho software (c. £1,500 per season), means we have to carry over funds to meet the future expenses.
FUTURE PLANS
Coaches to be UEFAC Develop funding for Social Activities via New Parent Lotto Recruit social media committee member Recruit digital media expert Recruit local scout for NFFC Grant development officer Develop Community awards for top team and top individual fund raisers Develop links with Kettering BC and local developers re: East Kettering developments Deliver Awards evening
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2023
CIO - FOUNDATION Registered 03 Aug 2021
Charity constitution
Our trustees come from a wide industry background and have extensive experience in running other volunteer football clubs &/or being a volunteer in the same (e.g. coach).
We have experienced directors of retail, recruitment, transportation and insurance represented into the group. Paul Hooper has renewed his Trustee term for a further 3 years.
Wider network
The charity actively recruits players from the Weetabix League Clubs that serves North Northants. We also have wider club links across South Leicestershire too.
We also actively align our social community fund raising with Cransley Hospice Trust to fulfil our wider objective of "Building Players with Purpose". This is because we believe developing players is more than football at Fundamental.
