## **Trustees’ Report**
## **Structure, governance and management**
The charity’s governing document is a foundation constitution registered 15 March 2022, previously an unincorporated charity (1091078) registered 13 March 2002 (and amended 27 June 2001 and 8 November 2005).
All future trustees (not those mentioned in Legal and Administration Information) must be appointed for a term of 3 years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
## **Objects:**
To help the young people in Gateshead and its surrounding area especially but not exclusively through their leisure time activities so to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.
## **Achievements:**
Gateshead Redheugh as a well-established local hub continues to promote and develop year on year within its community and beyond.
This season is no different. The organisational structure of the club enables us to grow in confidence. We have a robust management team, and 80+ volunteers who manage and coach football teams within the club. All of our volunteers have up to date DBS checks and FA coaching accreditation. Redheugh actively encourages new volunteers to embark on football coaching and management courses including First Aid and Safeguarding qualifications. Existing coaches are equally encouraged to develop their own careers as instructors and mentors to children and young people with the support of several partner organisations. We continue to promote regular CPD for all our coaches including Level 2 and Level 3 FA Qualifications.
The club currently has 41 teams including a senior team, 8 girls’ teams, a Walking Football Team in the Northern Alliance league, and the Wildcats teams are making great progress.
Our child football development goes from strength to strength as children as young as 5 are coached and proudly represent their club in the local area. These children embark on a career with the club that can take them through to adulthood. The messages and values that are embraced by the club, we feel help our members as they grow and develop.
Our main playing surface is magnificently maintained by our grand manager and the surrounding area is utilised continuously throughout the season. Our links with Newcastle Foundation, Gateshead Council and Durham FA, help
**4 |** P a g e
**GATESHEAD REDHEUGH 1957**
maintain our standards. The next season promises to be another successful year as a club, as we keep going forward.
We continue to save for a new carpet for the 3G pitch. We were granted an extension for renewal in 2023 for another 3 years due to the commitment and diligence our team have when maintaining the grounds. We were requested to save £10,000 a year, over the lifetime of the 3G carpet to ensure we had funds to replace. Our fund towards this carpet, currently stands at £126,446.
We have savings towards a new 3G pitch of £34,022 which has come from donations.
We have a savings towards a new fence of £6,000 from fund raising and donations.
The trustees have considered the guidance produced by the Charity Commission on the provision of public benefit and they confirm that public benefit has been provided by the range of activities as described above.
## **Grants**
Gateshead Redheugh would like to thank the following for support we have received throughout the year in way of grants:
Barclays, Bernicia, Brighten the Day and Football Foundation
## **Donations and Sponsors**
Gateshead Redheugh would like to thank the many businesses and individuals who sponsor our teams and make generous donations. Without these kind gestures, our club wouldn’t be as successful. Sponsors logos are proudly displayed in the clubhouse.
Our main club sponsor is Allan Richardson of SnapFast. Allan makes very generous donations annually alongside the generous companies and individuals.
## **Financial Review** :
As a charity, our aim is to bring together people who care about a cause so they can make a difference. We help our service users and families in many ways, but the main ways are by providing an affordable club for children, young people and families to be a part of where we celebrate football, health and fitness in a safe and welcoming environment. At Gateshead Redheugh 1957, we are a non-profit organisation helping and supporting the local community and beyond.
The charity holds sufficient reserves to meet its day-to-day operations, any surplus is distributed in accordance with the charity’s main aims and objectives.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report on the Accounts**
Report to the trustees/members of Gateshead Redheugh 1957 on Accounts for the period ended 31 December 2024.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Charity and the Independent Examiner**
As members of the Charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 3(3) and section 144(2) of the Charities Act do not apply and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to
- Examine the financial statements under s.145 of the 2011 Act;
- Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- State whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
- to prepare accounts which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act ; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
