## **Objectives and Activities** 

|||
|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|TO PROVIDE FACILITIES FOR RECREATION<br>OR OTHER LEISURE TIME OCCUPATION,<br>AND IN PARTICULAR FACILITIES FOR<br>PARTICIPATION IN THE SPORT OF<br>FOOTBALL, IN THE INTERESTS OF SOCIAL<br>WELFARE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE UNDER THE<br>AGE OF 18 LIVING IN TINGLEY AND LEEDS<br>AND THE SURROUNDING AREA WHO HAVE<br>NEED OF SUCH FACILITIES BY REASON OF<br>THEIR YOUTH OR AGE WITH A VIEW TO<br>IMPROVING THE CONDITIONS OF LIFE OF<br>SUCH PERSONS.|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or services<br>identified in the accounts.|In planning our activities for the year, the trustees<br>ensured alignment with the Charity Commission’s<br>guidance on public benefit. The year focused on<br>strategic investment to support the continued<br>growth and sustainability of the club. Over £4,500<br>was allocated to the maintenance and<br>improvement of pitches at Woodkirk Academy<br>and the club’s main site, ensuring safe and high-<br>quality playing surfaces for all participants. An<br>additional £11,500 was invested in new kits and<br>equipment to support more than 28 teams<br>representing Woodkirk Valley FC, serving<br>approximately 400 players.<br>The charity also continued to promote community<br>engagement and inclusivity, including supporting<br>a ladies’ rounders team with over 40 registered<br>members. All activities are carried out in an open<br>and welcoming environment, accessible to<br>individuals of all ages, genders, sexual<br>orientations, races, and beliefs, in keeping with<br>the club’s commitment to equality and community<br>participation.|





## **Achievements and Performance** 

|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|The charity has continued to make meaningful<br>progress in expanding its reach and<br>strengthening its impact within the community.<br>Participation in its football programmes remains<br>high, with a steady stream of new enquiries<br>received each week. This sustained interest<br>reflects not only the strong reputation of the<br>charity but also the quality of facilities that have<br>been developed through ongoing investment in<br>recent years.<br>A key achievement has been the successful<br>growth of the lower-age soccer schools, where<br>increasing enrolment demonstrates the charity’s<br>ability to engage younger participants and foster<br>early interest in physical activity. This has<br>provided children with regular opportunities to<br>develop skills, build confidence, and benefit from<br>structured, inclusive sporting environments.<br>In addition, the charity has begun developing<br>partnerships with local primary schools,<br>delivering introductory football sessions directly<br>within the school setting. This initiative has<br>already laid the groundwork for broader<br>engagement and is expected to expand<br>significantly in the coming year, enabling the<br>charity to reach a wider and more diverse group<br>of beneficiaries.<br>Overall, the charity’s work has contributed<br>positively to the physical health, social<br>development, and wellbeing of its participants. By<br>providing accessible sporting opportunities, it<br>supports community cohesion, encourages active<br>lifestyles, and offers a constructive outlet for<br>young people. These efforts generate wider<br>societal benefits by promoting inclusion, reducing<br>barriers to participation in sport, and helping to<br>build stronger, healthier communities.|

## **Financial Review** 

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|The charity ended the year in a slightly improved<br>financial position, reporting a profit of over<br>£2,000, following significant investment in both<br>the facilities we use and our own. Membership<br>levels remained broadly consistent with the<br>previous year, although donations and grants<br>declined. Trustees have already made some<br>difficult decisions regarding investment for the<br>coming year as we continue to monitor the<br>impact of the ongoing cost of living crisis and<br>consider potential mitigating actions.|
|---|---|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|We consider that cash reserves should be<br>always maintained at a minimum of £5k of<br>unrestricted cash. This is deemed a prudent level<br>to cover several months of operating expenses<br>when monthly membership payments are at<br>there lowest. Any medium/ large projects are<br>planned with adequate funding in place before<br>commencement.|
|Amount of reserves held|£5k|
|Reasons for holding zero<br>reserves|Not Applicable|
|Details of fund materially in<br>deficit|Not Applicable|
|Explanation of any<br>uncertainties about the<br>charity continuing as a going<br>concern|Not Applicable|
