> [Recruitment and formal appointment] 

## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about: 

- policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; 

- the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; 

- relationship with any related parties; 

- trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. 

All trustees apply by way of a formal application form and by providing a biography of their skills, experience and knowledge which deems them suitable for the post.  Once successful via the SUFC recruitment process, Trustees are then provided with FA committee training together with any relevant training required such as Welfare Officers training. They receive other training through mentorship, peer support and the reading of existing policies and procedures. We are also looking at gaining additional support from Cheshire Action which is the VCFSE organisation which provides support locally to charities. 

The Executive Committee comprises of the Chairman, the Secretary, the Treasurer, the Club Welfare Officer, the Head of Football, the Business Manager,  the  Disability  &  Inclusion  Officer  and  the  Club  Operational Manager. 

The charity is connected to the local County FA, the Regional FA and National FA. We work with a number of other charitable organisations such as the Connor Ruscoe Memorial Fund, Cheshire Buddies, McMillan, Autism Dogs, Cerebral Palsy United, Sandbach Animal Rescue, Young Minds, Dementia UK, Cancer Research, Still Born Charity and CLASP. 

The major risks currently are the lack of training facilities and car parking space  for  the  number  of  members  wishing  to  join  the  club.  We  are currently working with the Football Foundation, Sports England and the Local Authority to explore additional funding to develop the site. Systems are in place to manage the increased demand for training facilities with other off site facilities being  explored. Car  parking is  being managed through use of an additional overflow car park and ongoing maintenance of the existing car park to mitigate any health and safety risks associated with the current site. 

## **Section C                    Objectives and activities** 

**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** 

The SUFC Charitable Objects are: _For the public benefit, the advancement of amateur sport, namely all aspects of football to promote physical and mental health and wellbeing by involving exertion, mental skill and social interaction in the town of Sandbach and surrounding neighbourhoods to all members of the community regardless of their age, gender,  race,  religion,  ability  and  any  other  characteristics  by  the provision of a sports venue and facility and associated activities._ 

**Please  see  below  a  summary  of  how  the  Club  is  meeting  the** 

**Summary of the main** 

**TAR**

**activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

## **required public benefits of the CIO objects/purposes:** 

- _Providing public participation in amateur sport_ 

- _Providing opportunities for physical activity for young people and adults_ 

At SUFC we are consistently seeing an increase in demand for members to join the Club. Currently there are 64 football teams of varying abilities for both boys and girls between the ages of 4 years to open age (18+). These are made up of over 900 members of the Club.   We operate a waiting list at most ages and are consistently looking at how we can increase the offer at the Club to cater for all people who express an interest in joining the organisation. 

Other activities at the Club include: Walking football; walking cricket; Soccer Six; private hire of 3G; Soccer camps; Girls Wildcats; Soccer School; Sport birthday parties; Football Festivals/Tournaments; Coaches and Family Tournament; Darts tournament; Walking group; University of the 3[rd] Age Walking Football and Cricket; BTEC Education and SemiProfessional Football Academy (ESPFA). 

The Club also funds young people who wish to take up refereeing to take the  appropriate  qualifications  and  training  courses.  In  2022/2023  we funded 10 young people through the Cheshire FA Referee Programme. 

- _Providing opportunities to support the mental health and wellbeing of young people and adults_ 

- _Providing opportunities to increase social interaction and tackle social isolation_ 

There is much evidence to suggest that taking part in sporting activity can have a profound and positive impact on people’s mental health and mood. Being physically active can increase mood, reduce the chances of depression and anxiety and can lead to a more balanced and healthy lifestyle. By providing the range of activities (detailed above) we feel that we are supporting children, young people, adults and older people to help to manage their own mental health by being involved in sporting activity at the Club. 

SUFC has a fully trained Youth Mental Health First Aider on site and available at any time. 

In terms of tackling social isolation and increasing social interaction we have a range of activities to support this. We have introduced an “Over 65  coffee  morning”  which  takes  place  weekly  offering  a  book  club, sharing of knitting patterns, reminiscent sessions, concerts and quizzes to encourage local socially isolated people to make friends and socialise. We also hold regular Open Mic sessions, Bingo, Quizzes etc and have expanded our food offer to encourage more people, both members and non-members, to come along to the club and socialise. We also have social teams at SUFC such as Walking Football; Walking Cricket; VETS team and Womens Social Football Team. 

##  _Providing volunteering opportunities for all ages:_ 

SUFC have approx. six FTE paid staff and is run in the main by part time staff and volunteers who willingly give up their time to help to run the community facility. We have a range of opportunities and positions such as: Match day stewards; team managers; coaches; parent helpers; admin workers;  Executive  Committee  members/Trustees;  Welfare  Assistants 

**TAR**

and Over 65 Group volunteers. We also offer a range of opportunities for young people to complete work experience. 

One of our volunteers has also just been awarded the Cheshire FA Grassroots  Club  Volunteer  of  the  Year  Award  which  is  an  amazing achievement. 

 _Providing  opportunities  for  protected  characteristic  groups  to enjoy football and social engagement;_ 

In addition to the Volunteer of the Year we have also just been awarded the Cheshire FA Grassroots Most Inclusive Club of the Year Award which shows just how much is done at the Club to promote Diversity and Inclusion. We actually have an Executive Committee member whose specific role is Disability and Inclusion which evidences the importance placed on this by the Club. We have sponsored and supported the first ever Sandbach Pride event in 2022. We support Cheshire Buddies which is a charity set up to support children with disabilities who train at the Club and take part in events regularly. Cerebral Palsy (CP) United also train at the Club and have been part of the programme for three years now with the group enjoying a range of activities such as football training sessions, socialisation, Bingo, visits with Santa and also the parents benefit from peer to peer support from other parents of children with additional needs. 

We have held fundraising and family days for the local CLASP charity who  support  lone  parents.  We  pride  ourselves  on  being  leaders  in providing football opportunities for women and girls with a total of 16 teams at the Club ranging from 4 years to open age. 

We have a diverse ethnic range of members although we recognise that there is more to do in this area to ensure that we are as inclusive as possible.  The  Club  currently  does  not  collect  the  ethnicity  of  its membership but it is recognised that this is good practice and plans are in place to start to collect this. The BAME population % in Cheshire East is 5.3% and the club’s vision is to be representative of this locally. 

 _Opportunity to complete the Duke of Edinburgh Award_ 

We provide a range of voluntary and physical activity opportunities for young people to complete this award. In 2022/2023 we supported 2 of our members to achieve the Bronze award. 

## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

|You**may choose**to include<br>further statements, where<br>relevant, about:<br><br>policy on grantmaking;<br><br>policy programme related<br>investment;<br><br>contribution made by<br>volunteers.|SUFC is not a grant making charity and therefore the policy does not<br>apply.<br>We  have  a  Club  Strategy  document  which  details  our  plans  for<br>investment in the future. The key areas of investment are an additional<br>3G, improvements to the car park and improved LED lighting.<br>In terms of the contribution made by volunteers to the club, an estimated<br>total number of hours per year can be calculated as follows:<br>No of volunteers = 150 (this is a conservative estimate)<br>150 x 10 hours per week (average) = 1500 x 45 weeks = 67,500 hours<br>per annum.<br>ONS data suggests the value of 1 hour volunteering is the equivalent of a<br>paid role of £14.43 per hour. This equates to a total of £974,025 in social<br>value to the local economy.|

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

Teams are also actively encouraged to take part in these in order to raise funds for their own Age Group Funds. 

The club also raises funds through sponsorship deals.  The Club has a three year sponsorship deal in place and the Men’s First Team also raise funds through advertisement boards around the main pitch.  Other teams are  actively  encouraged  to  arrange  sponsorship  deals  with  local businesses, again, to raise money for their individual Age Group Funds with a total of over 40 separate sponsorship deals across the Club. 

In addition to this the Club has facilitated a number of other appeals for the local community and people in need: 

 Foodbank collections 

- The Boot Room (football boots donated and redistributed) 

- Ukraine Collection 

- Old kits to Africa 

- Fundraising event for Still Born Charity 

- Charity matches for the Connor Ruscoe Memorial Fund 

## **Grant funding received 2022/2023** 

Co-operative Members Scheme - £4,885 Football Foundation (Pitch Improvement) - £25,859 Buildbase (Non-league renovation) - £10,000 Football Foundation (Stadium grant) - £10,688 

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

Following the initial grant allocation in 2011/2012 from the Football **Brief statement of the** Foundation, one of the grant conditions is to ensure that the sink fund **charity’s policy on reserves** amounts to £150K at all times. This is to ensure that the 3G can be replaced. The Club currently has £100K in its reserves as the Covid years have hampered the ability to add to the fund due to the facility being closed during this time. This is currently being managed and plans have been agreed to accelerate the sink fund income with the Football Foundation to achieve this over the next five years by 2028/2029. 

In addition to this, budgets are in place for both Pre-Planned and unexpected maintenance. 

A new budget format is being implemented so income and expenditure can be monitored to reflect the different elements of the club. This should assist with managing expenditure against objectives and enable us to monitor more effectively. These are: 

- The Cross Bar 

- Facility

We condurted our audit in 3ccordance with International Standard5 on Auditlng (UK) IISAS IUKII and applicable
law. Our responsSbS1itles under those standards are further descrlbed In the Auditorfs responsibilitie5 for the
uudit of the flnanciul stotements sectior¢ of our report. We are independent of the club in accordance wlth the
ethical requir&ments that are relevant to our audit of the club in the UK, including the FRC5 Ethical Standard,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requiremÈnts. We bellèvè that
the audit evidence we have obtsined is sufFicient and appropriate to provKle a basis for our qualified opinion.
Conclusions relatlnz to golng concern
A5 detailed in note 1.2 in the financial statement5, the trustees have prepared the finanaal statements on a
basis other than going concern. The unincorporated association ceased operations on 1 luty 2023 following
the transfer of all assets, liabilities and operations to Sandbach United Football Club CIO. FollobTrring the
transfer it is the intention of the Trustees to cease all operatlons In the unincorporated association. In formlng
our oplnion we have considered the adequacy of dlsclosures In relation to thi5 matter and conclude that they
accuratety refiect the position of the unincorporated association at the date of 5isning the audlt report. Our
opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

Responsibiltties of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustee5' responsibilities statemen¢ the trustees are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statements and for belng satist)ed that they give a true and fair view, and for such
Internal control as the trustees determine Is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material M￿$Stateme￿L whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the tru5tee5 are responsible for assessing the club's ablllry to contlnue
as a going concern. di￿ROS1n& as applicable. matters related to going concern and uslng the golng concem
basis of accounting unle55 the trustees elther intend to liquidate the club or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Audltor's responsibilitles for the •udlt of the flnanclal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as 4 whole are free
from material mi5ststemenL whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a hEh level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit condurted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exlsts. Mlsstatements can arlse
from fraud or èrror and are considered material rf, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to whlch our procedures are capable of detecting irregularlties. including fraud, is detailed below.
Because of the Inherent limitstions of an audil there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities. including
those leading to a materlal mlsstatement in the financlal statements or non-compliance with regulation. This
r15k increases the more that compliance with a law or reEulation 15 removed from the events and transartions
refleited in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non<ompliance.
The risk Is also greater regardbng Irreg￿larItIeS occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud Involves
intenttonal concealment, forgery. collusiorn omission or misrepresentation.
The audit team obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the
Club 2nd determined that the most Sl8nificant are those that r4lato to th• roponing framework (UK GAAPI, the
relevant tax compliance regulatlons, employment law, Health and Safety Regulations and the UK General Data
Protection Regulation IGDPRI.
We understood how the Club is COMp￿ing with these frameworks by making enquiries of management and
those responsible for legal and compliance proce¢Jures.
Wè assessed the susceptibility of the Club's financial statements to material misstatemenL including how
fraud might occur by meeting with key rnanagement to understand where they considered there may be
susceptibility to fraud. 8ased on OL¢r understanding our procedures involvèd enquiries of management and
those charsed with 8overnance, manual journal entry testing cashbook reviews for lar8e and unusual items
and the challenge of significant accountlng estimates used In preparing the financial statement5.

uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the
unincorporated association to iontinue a5 a going concem. The Trustees make thls assessment in
respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation of the accounts and have
concluded that the Football Club has adequate resources to contlnue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future.
