whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The benefits of our organisation’s purpose
is to provide a safe and positive
environment to any young person or young
adult who wants to take part in the sport of
football. This benefits our members not
only physically but also by providing a
sense of purpose and the security and
backing of a team.
Promotes health by getting the local
community to become fitter; it enables and
supports healthy lifestyles. Exercise in
general helps to reduce the risk of
depression by 30% according to the NHS.
Builds confidence as children make new
friends with children from other local
schools both through training at the club
and by accessing team events in Embsay
and the surrounding areas. Promotes
social interaction which reduces social| isolation for children and carers, as carers are encouraged to stay and watch the training as part of the structured training programme; new friendships are formed at the side of the pitch. Our football club helps integration into the community as carers and children who may feel excluded from the community (whether by reason of race, religion, being a single parent etc) form social connections through, and are united in the common purpose of, football. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: SORP reference Para 1.38 Policy on grant making Para 1.38 Policy on social investment including program related investment Para 1.38 Contribution made by volunteers Other ## **Achievements and Performance** **----- Start of picture text -----**

Promoting fair play and inclusion
We have players from many different ethnic
groups and back grounds. We have also
supported low-income families with
financial help.
We were successful in being granted sole
use on Raikes Road football pitch, provided
by Skipton Town Council.
In addition to this the new pitches on Shires
Lane have been completed and are now
sorting out the terms of the Contract with
the developer.
The pitches should hopefully be ready for
the 2026/2027 Season.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |**Additional information (optional)**

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The charities financial position at the end of
the period had increased by nearly £2,000.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The current reserves are for several
reasons:

The on-going volatility of the
financial market, the fact that we are
wholly funded by the teams we
have. This will enable the club to
continue should there be a change
in teams that the club operates and
thus the impact on funds.

The new pitch on Shires Lane still
needs funds in readiness to prepare
this for eventual use.

The opportunity arose to regenerate
an existing pitch to allow sole use
by the younger age group teams,
not having funds available would not
have made this possible.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|**£19,332**| |Reasons for holding zero

volunteers and although some come
through for coaching, the management of
the club needs further development. If
these don’t start to come through then the
charity would struggle to continue
effectively and deliver it’s objective to the
community.| |**Additional information (optional)**
