Trustees’ Annual Report for the period
From: 01[st] August 2024 to 31[st] July 2025 Charity name: Woodkirk Valley Sports Club Charity registration number: 1198198
Objectives and Activities
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
TO PROVIDE FACILITIES FOR RECREATION OR OTHER LEISURE TIME OCCUPATION, AND IN PARTICULAR FACILITIES FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE SPORT OF FOOTBALL, IN THE INTERESTS OF SOCIAL WELFARE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 LIVING IN TINGLEY AND LEEDS AND THE SURROUNDING AREA WHO HAVE NEED OF SUCH FACILITIES BY REASON OF THEIR YOUTH OR AGE WITH A VIEW TO IMPROVING THE CONDITIONS OF LIFE OF SUCH PERSONS. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
In planning our activities for the year, the trustees ensured alignment with the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The year focused on strategic investment to support the continued growth and sustainability of the club. Over £4,500 was allocated to the maintenance and improvement of pitches at Woodkirk Academy and the club’s main site, ensuring safe and high- quality playing surfaces for all participants. An additional £11,500 was invested in new kits and equipment to support more than 28 teams representing Woodkirk Valley FC, serving approximately 400 players. The charity also continued to promote community engagement and inclusivity, including supporting a ladies’ rounders team with over 40 registered members. All activities are carried out in an open and welcoming environment, accessible to individuals of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, races, and beliefs, in keeping with the club’s commitment to equality and community participation. |
Achievements and Performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
The charity has continued to make meaningful progress in expanding its reach and strengthening its impact within the community. Participation in its football programmes remains high, with a steady stream of new enquiries received each week. This sustained interest reflects not only the strong reputation of the charity but also the quality of facilities that have been developed through ongoing investment in recent years. A key achievement has been the successful growth of the lower-age soccer schools, where increasing enrolment demonstrates the charity’s ability to engage younger participants and foster early interest in physical activity. This has provided children with regular opportunities to develop skills, build confidence, and benefit from structured, inclusive sporting environments. In addition, the charity has begun developing partnerships with local primary schools, delivering introductory football sessions directly within the school setting. This initiative has already laid the groundwork for broader engagement and is expected to expand significantly in the coming year, enabling the charity to reach a wider and more diverse group of beneficiaries. Overall, the charity’s work has contributed positively to the physical health, social development, and wellbeing of its participants. By providing accessible sporting opportunities, it supports community cohesion, encourages active lifestyles, and offers a constructive outlet for young people. These efforts generate wider societal benefits by promoting inclusion, reducing barriers to participation in sport, and helping to build stronger, healthier communities. |

Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
The charity ended the year in a slightly improved financial position, reporting a profit of over £2,000, following significant investment in both the facilities we use and our own. Membership levels remained broadly consistent with the previous year, although donations and grants declined. Trustees have already made some difficult decisions regarding investment for the coming year as we continue to monitor the impact of the ongoing cost of living crisis and consider potential mitigating actions. |

| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
We consider that cash reserves should be always maintained at a minimum of £5k of unrestricted cash. This is deemed a prudent level to cover several months of operating expenses when monthly membership payments are at there lowest. Any medium/ large projects are planned with adequate funding in place before commencement. |
