TRUSTEE REPORT AND UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Trustees of Goals 4 Girls are pleased to present their annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Throughout the year, the Trustees met at least four times to oversee the charity’s strategy, programmes, governance, finance, and overall operations. Meetings provided regular opportunities to ensure that Goals 4 Girls continued to deliver on its mission, while adapting to the evolving needs of the young women and girls we serve.

Newly appointed Trustees undertake a formal induction process which includes an initial meeting with two Trustees (where possible including the Chair) and the provision of key documents such as the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the most recent financial statements, the organisation’s current strategic objectives, and the Charity Commission’s guidance The Essential Trustee. This ensures that every Trustee is equipped to fully discharge their duties and uphold the charity’s values and vision.

During the reporting period, the composition of the Board remained stable with no new Trustees appointed. Subsequent to the year-end, in October 2024, new Trustees joined the Board, but these appointments will be formally reflected in next year’s report. The Trustees would like to take this opportunity to thank all current Trustees for their continued dedication and governance support during 2023–24, a year marked by significant growth and strengthening of the charity’s foundations.

One of the key areas of focus for the Board during 2023–24 was strengthening the charity’s governance in preparation for the next phase of growth. Recognising the need for fresh expertise and leadership to match our evolving vision, the Board prioritised the recruitment of new Trustees who could help steer Goals 4 Girls into its next chapter. The emphasis during the year was on aligning future governance with the charity’s ambition to expand programme delivery, enhance leadership pathways, deepen mental wellbeing support, and build long-term financial sustainability.

While early discussions around the development of a new three-year Strategic Plan began during this period, the Board agreed that the formal review and adoption of a new strategy would take place once the new Trustees and Chair had been appointed. The priority throughout 2023–24 was therefore to streamline the organisation’s delivery approach and ensure operational stability, laying strong foundations for the incoming Board to build upon.

The new Trustees and Chair officially joined in October 2024, after the financial year-end, and they are now leading the process of creating and executing a comprehensive strategy to drive Goals 4 Girls’ impact over the coming years. Trustees during 2023–24 worked closely with the leadership team to ensure a smooth transition, maintaining stability in programme delivery while preparing the charity for a period of renewed strategic growth.

The Trustees also approved an updated fundraising strategy, designed to diversify income streams and build greater financial resilience. This strategy includes a focus on growing unrestricted income, expanding strategic partnerships, and investing in brand visibility and external relations.

Financially, Goals 4 Girls entered the year and aquired funds to boost reserves.. In line with the charity’s reserves policy, Trustees authorised investment of some surplus reserves into areas critical to long-term sustainability and impact, including leadership development, operational infrastructure, and fundraising capacity. The charity continues to maintain a prudent and proactive approach to financial management.

TRUSTEE REPORT AND UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Risk management remained a standing agenda item at Trustee meetings, with regular reviews of strategic, safeguarding, operational, and financial risks. The main risks identified during the year included funding volatility, staff recruitment and retention, safeguarding responsibilities, and demonstrating programme impact. Trustees and the senior leadership team worked collaboratively to mitigate these risks through strengthened operational systems, staff development, and continuous improvement of safeguarding and quality assurance processes.

In accordance with legal requirements, the Trustees have reviewed the financial position of the charity and its future plans and confirm that Goals 4 Girls is a going concern. After careful review of the year-end reserves, cashflow forecasts, secured income, and funding pipeline, the Trustees are satisfied that the charity has sufficient resources to continue operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of approving these accounts in May 2025.

The Trustees would like to extend their gratitude to the entire Goals 4 Girls team — staff, volunteers, supporters, and partners — for their unwavering commitment and hard work throughout 2023–24. Together, we continue to build a future where young women are empowered to lead, succeed, and thrive.

Their dedication has enabled Goals 4 Girls to continue creating life-changing opportunities for young women and girls across London and beyond.

TRUSTEE REPORT AND UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees aims to ensure that Goals 4 Girls maintains strong systems to identify, monitor, and manage risk across all areas of governance, operations, finance, compliance, and external factors. Risk management remains a standing agenda item at every Board meeting, and risks are assessed for likelihood, impact, and appropriate mitigation actions.

During the year ended 30 June 2024, Goals 4 Girls continued to build on the key risks identified in the previous Trustees’ Annual Report, particularly focusing on financial sustainability, programme delivery, demonstrating impact, and staff retention. As the charity enters a new strategic phase, the Trustees have taken active steps to strengthen our internal risk management and resilience planning.

A major risk for Goals 4 Girls, as with many youth-focused charities, is the volatility of long-term funding, particularly the limited availability of unrestricted income. This year, research published by the Rosa Trust revealed that only 2% of UK funding reaches charities supporting women and girls. This stark statistic reinforced the Trustees' awareness of systemic funding inequalities, and led to a clear strategic decision: to shift priorities and place greater emphasis on diversifying our income streams, building unrestricted reserves, and securing multi-year funding partnerships to strengthen financial resilience.

Programme delivery risk also remained a focus, particularly around maintaining high-quality outcomes as we expand into new boroughs. The Trustees monitored this risk carefully and worked with the leadership team to adopt a phased approach to growth, prioritising practitioner support, safeguarding, and quality assurance to protect programme integrity.

Demonstrating consistent and credible impact has become increasingly critical, particularly as funders now often require bespoke reporting formats and frameworks. With limited internal M&E (Monitoring and Evaluation) capacity, this presents a risk to securing and renewing funding. To address this, Goals 4 Girls is prioritising investment in impact measurement systems, developing internal frameworks, and building staff capacity to meet funder requirements without overburdening frontline teams.

Staff wellbeing and retention continues to be a priority risk area. Working in emotionally intensive environments can lead to burnout and turnover if not managed carefully. Goals 4 Girls is committed to fostering a positive, supportive working environment through wellbeing initiatives, leadership development opportunities, reflective practice, and ensuring competitive and fair employment practices. Due to a lack of recourses and additional staff, the existing staff are taking on additional responsibilties which itself puts them at risk of burn out.

MISSION

Goals 4 Girls exists to support and raise the aspirations of girls and young women aged 11–16, particularly those living in inner-city areas across the UK . Many of the girls we work with come from low-income and underserved communities and are often exposed to increased vulnerability and social challenges such as discrimination and mental health difficulties. These young women also face a high risk of social exclusion due to systemic barriers in education, leadership, and career opportunities. OUR PURPOSE

As a female-led personal and social development Charity our programmes are created by the girls, for the girls. We use the power of sport, especially football, combined with education and mentorship, as a vehicle to navigate and improve mental wellbeing, boost self-confidence, and foster emotional resilience.

Our long-term intervention model provides sustainable support both on and off the field. We help young women and girls live healthier, happier lives by improving their social and emotional skills, promoting academic success, and breaking down cultural, social, and economic barriers. At Goals 4 Girls, we believe every girl deserves the opportunity to dream big—without limitations..

REBECCA HUNT

My name is Rebecca Hunt. I am 15 years old and live in East London in a place called Custom House where I’ve lived since I was a toddler.

“I LIVE FOR AND REALLY LOVE THE GAME. I WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE A CAREER IN SPORT, IDEALLY IN COACHING TO HELP YOUNG WOMEN LIKE MYSELF”

My Mother passed away when I was two, which affected my Dad massively, so I don’t see him often. My Nan and Grandad took me and my four sisters in and I’ve lived with them ever since.

I currently live with two of my sisters – as two have grown up and moved out - and my Nan, as my Grandad passed away several months ago.

Due to having a big family, I don’t often get time for myself so Goals 4 Girls has enabled me to put my thoughts in order and has given me an outlet to breathe, plus a space to grow and be myself.

I live for and really love the game. I would like to pursue a career in sport and that’s because of Goals 4 Girls. Ideally, I’d like to be a coach to help young women like myself to overcome barriers they may face in the sporting industry; whether that be gender discrimination or obstacles they may face in their personal or sporting life. That would be my dream! Without Goals 4 Girls, I don’t know what I’d be doing.

OUR WORK

Mindful Me: Expanding Emotional Resilience and Opportunity

This year we restructured Mindful Me into an 18-week semester model, allowing schools to engage more Year 8 and 9 girls across shorter, focused cycles instead of limiting participation to one cohort per year.

The Mindful Me programme is built around our Four Pillars: Identity, Career Development, Sports Participation, and Mental Wellbeing, alongside after-school football delivery.

Key Impact:

“UNLOCKING THE POSSIBILITIES IN EVERY YOUNG WOMAN AND GIRL THROUGH THE POWER OF FOOTBALL”

Our purpose is to create lasting change for young women and girls in sport and society. Our approach is built around long term intervention that builds sustainable pathways within sports and education, by providing long lasting impact and support way beyond the i eld. We aspire

to break down social, cultural and economical barriers so that young women and girls to dream without limited beliefs.

Our Football Coaches and therapeutic sports mentors marry a deep personal understanding of the communities our young women and girls live in, with lived experiences and the highest level of coaching, therapeutic training and quali i cations, our culturally sensitive staff bridge the gap for young women and girls in the highest areas of deprivation, providing opportunities and long -term solutions for sustainable change.

Goals 4 Girls delivers a full academic year personal development programme, built around a 38-week cycle of workshops. It combines therapeutic support, a unique sports curriculum, our Inner-City Football Development Centre, and impactful events—all designed to inspire change and empower young women.

Participants engaged in personal reflection, career exploration, and active lifestyles through a holistic curriculum

Football Development Centre: Building Future Leaders

Originally serving ages 11–16, strong demand led to expansion for girls aged 7–11, offering: Qualifications (coaching and refereeing), Career pathways, work experience, and leadership training, Tournaments, showcases, sports nutrition, game analysis, and wellbeing workshops

The centre now represents a holistic development pathway, combining football excellence with leadership skills and employability. While we planned to open a second Centre in Croydon in 2025, funding constraints mean this is now scheduled for summer 2026.

Therapeutic Intervention and Mentoring: Long-Term Change

Our Therapeutic Intervention programme continued providing two-year intensive support for girls at high risk of exclusion, mental health challenges, and societal barriers.

Delivered by therapeutic practitioners and trained sports mentors, this year we integrated holistic wellbeing experiences inspired by our GAP project work — including aspirational trips, workshops, and exposure opportunities. Key Impact:

87% of participants reported improvements in emotional wellbeing and aspiration

Behaviour incidents among participants dropped significantly after engagement

Direct feedback highlighted the positive impact of personalised, relational mentoring approaches

As part of our focus on representation and voice, we also launched our Black History Month YouTube series — “Saluting Our Sisters” — sharing lived experiences and success stories of young Black women in our community.

STRATEGIC REDESIGN AND FUTURE VISION

2024 helped us in recognising the changing needs of our girls and sector-wide challenges, we spent much of 2024 redesigning our programme models to prepare for the launch of our 2025–28 Strategic Plan.

This process has been rooted in the findings of our GAP Gender Action Plan work, our internal impact reviews, and direct consultation with our girls.

Our vision is clear: to build a future where girls not only stay in sport and education but lead and transform these spaces — shaping a new generation of confident, resilient, and powerful young women.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND COVERAGE

At Goals 4 Girls, 2023–24 was a year defined by growth, national recognition, and deepening our commitment to empowering the next generation of young women.

From international leadership residencies to national magazine features and prime-time television campaigns, we used every platform to spotlight the voices and achievements of the girls we work with.

Breaking Barriers Leadership: Adna’s Journey to adidas HQ

In partnership with the Breaking Barriers project, we were proud to see former G4G Football Development Centre participant, Adna, travel to Germany to represent Goals 4 Girls at the adidas global headquarters. Accompanied by our Media & Partnerships Lead, Ashleigh, Adna joined nine other inspiring participants from the Breaking Barriers community for a two-day leadership residential.

The experience included workshops with senior sports industry leaders, career development sessions, and behind-the-scenes insights into global sports leadership.

Adna’s journey didn’t end there — she continued to work closely with G4G, helping organise and deliver our annual Football Festival, gaining first-hand experience in event management and community leadership.

This partnership reflects our commitment to creating pathways that don't just start — but flourish — beyond the initial programme engagement.

Championing Girls' Futures: Hello! Magazine x Prince’s Trust – "Change A Girl’s Life" Campaign

Goals 4 Girls proudly featured in the Change A Girl’s Life campaign, a national collaboration between Hello! magazine and The Prince’s Trust.

The campaign aims to raise critical awareness and funds for young women facing barriers and disadvantage across the UK.

Our founder’s longstanding relationship with The Prince’s Trust — as both an Ambassador and Pride of Britain Award winner — positioned G4G as a key voice in this movement for change.

Teaming up with Paralympic legend Ellie Simmonds, the campaign amplified the stories of young women across the country, calling attention to the urgent need for greater investment and support.

Coverage included national features, magazine spreads, and widespread digital promotion, ensuring the G4G message reached tens of thousands of households during a critical period around International Women’s Day.

Spotlight on National TV: Goals 4 Girls x ITV and Xero

In 2023, Goals 4 Girls also received unprecedented national television exposure through the ITV Women’s Euros coverage and the Xero x ITV Women’s Football campaign.

Our organisation was featured in TV commercials aired during matches watched by millions, including:

Over 18 million viewers across the full tournament

Peak match audiences of up to 7 million viewers

Extensive reach through ITVX streaming, TikTok, and Instagram promotions

This exposure significantly boosted G4G’s national brand awareness and aligned our work with one of the most powerful movements in women’s sport — making our mission visible to a wider audience than ever before.

Building Momentum for the Future

This year’s achievements have been a testament to the power of partnerships, visibility, and youth voice.

Through strategic collaborations and national platforms, we have not only shared our story but elevated the stories of the young women at the heart of our mission.

At Goals 4 Girls, we are not just building better futures — we are making sure those futures are visible, celebrated, and unstoppable.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND COVERAGE CNT.

In 2023–24, Goals 4 Girls celebrated significant milestones — not just through growing our direct delivery work, but by stepping onto national and international stages to advocate for representation, gender equity, and systemic change in football and beyond.

Official Charity Launch – June 30, 2023

After a decade of grassroots impact, Goals 4 Girls officially registered as a charity in June 2023. This formal transition reflects our long-term commitment to providing young women and girls — particularly from underrepresented communities — with the holistic support, leadership pathways, and mental wellbeing tools needed to succeed in life and sport.

Charity registration marks an important new chapter as we scale our work and strengthen our ability to influence national conversations about gender, race, and opportunity. With over 200 Guests present at the Emirates Stadium, we proudly celebrated a decade of grassroots impact and officially set out our vision for the next generation of young women leaders

"Saluting Our Sisters" – Black History Month Campaign 2023

In October 2023, Goals 4 Girls proudly launched Saluting Our Sisters — our first ever Black History Month media campaign.

This short documentary series was created to spotlight the talent, resilience, and barriers faced by young women of colour in football, and to amplify the need for greater systemic change in representation.

The campaign drew attention to widely cited research showing that women from minoritised backgrounds continue to be underrepresented and overlooked within sports leadership, coaching, and talent pathways.

https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=bOU5SZvYDKQ&t=3s

Through first-hand storytelling, including Nancy’s powerful story (watch here: Saluting Our Sisters – Nancy's Story), the campaign made the case for urgent change — and highlighted how programmes like Goals 4 Girls are critical in building and sustaining the next generation of talent.

"Saluting Our Sisters" was not just about visibility; it was a call to action to reshape the pipeline of opportunity within sport.

Breaking Barriers Project – Strategic Leadership in Gender Equity

Throughout 2023–24, Goals 4 Girls was proud to be one of the selected delivery organisations across Europe to contribute to adidas’ Breaking Barriers project.

As part of this innovative, sector-leading partnership, G4G played a pivotal role in the creation and piloting of a Gender Action Plan (GAP) — a framework designed to break down systemic barriers facing young women and girls in sport.

We worked intensively to embed the GAP into our own programme models, ensuring that every strand of delivery — from football development to mental wellbeing and leadership — intentionally addressed gender equity, participation, and leadership progression. Our involvement was not limited to internal work: through Breaking Barriers, we supported other grassroots organisations across Europe to implement gender-equitable practices, aiming to influence both practice and future policy.

This project was a major step forward for Goals 4 Girls — positioning us as thought leaders not only in direct delivery, but in shaping systems and ecosystems around girls' participation, retention, and leadership in sport.

Key highlights from the Breaking Barriers collaboration:

➢ Contribution to a published Gender Action Plan Report shared across Europe

➢ Participation in leadership convenings with adidas and strategic community partners ➢ Practical integration of GAP principles into our Development Centre and Mindful Me programme redesigns

"Our work through Breaking Barriers was about more than participation; it was about fundamentally reshaping the environments girls move through, ensuring sport becomes a place of belonging, leadership, and future opportunity."

Looking Forward

As we move into 2024–25, Goals 4 Girls remains committed to amplifying youth voice, challenging structural inequality, and creating new, tangible opportunities for young women to lead.

Through campaigns like Saluting Our Sisters and partnerships like Breaking Barriers, we are not just delivering programmes — we are influencing the future of sport, education, and youth leadership in the UK and beyond.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

TAhe Trustees of Goals 4 Girls are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales — specifically the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the charity’s governing documents — requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity, and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for that period.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

Observe the methods and principles set out in the Charity SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice);

Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities.

The Trustees are responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions, and to disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. This enables them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the charity’s governing document.

The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Financial Review

The Trustees present the financial review for the year ended 30 June 2024, including the financial activities, reserves policy, and key management remuneration.

Financial Activity and Financial Position

The Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and Summary Income and Expenditure Account can be found on pages 4 to 6 (Seperate Financial Accounts document). The Charity’s total funds decreased by £50,270 during the year ended 30 June 2024.

The balance sheet shows total net assets of £18,670. Cash at bank and in hand at the year-end was £39,269. The total income comes to £320,557 (up from £292,615 in 2023)

At 30 June 2024, restricted funds totalled £98,683.49. These included funding from Breaking Barriers (Common Goal) for the delivery of the Girls’ Access Programme (GAP), the Champions Project, and a tournament held in July 2024, and from Adidas, which is restricted for the payment of salaries.

During the year, the Charity invested in its fundraising capacity by hiring a Fundraiser in May 2024 on a salary of £40,000. The expectation was that this appointment would generate significant additional income. However, the fundraiser did not perform to the required standard, and the anticipated return on investment was not achieved. The Trustees are reviewing the Charity’s fundraising strategy to ensure a more effective approach going forward.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have reviewed the reserves policy and are committed to maintaining sufficient free reserves to support the continuity of the charity’s activities in the event of unforeseen financial difficulties. The reserves policy states that three to six months of costs should be covered, which has fluctuated throughout the year.

At 30 June 2024, the Charity held unrestricted reserves of £18,670, represented as follows:

TRUSTEE REPORT AND UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CEO CLOSING STATEMENT FRANCESCA BROWN

CEO and Founder Goals 4 Girls - Looking back at 2023, I feel proud — but more than anything, I feel motivated. This year reminded me why we started Goals 4 Girls in the first place.

Because even though the world of women’s sport is growing, there are still too many girls being left behind.

Girls from working-class backgrounds, girls facing real struggles, girls who don’t see anyone who looks like them winning.

At Goals 4 Girls, we’ve always been about more than just football. We’re about giving young women the tools to survive, to thrive, to lead. And this year, we made a huge step forward — becoming a registered charity after more than 10 years of hard work and community building. That’s not just a piece of paperwork. It’s a statement. It’s saying we're here for the long run, and we’re serious about making change happen. My own journey isn’t picture-perfect.

Moments like that stick with you. But they also push you to fight harder — not just for yourself, but for every girl coming after you.

I came to London with £10 in my pocket.

I battled chronic depression from a young age.

This year, I saw first-hand the impact of what we’re building. I watched young women get their first coaching badges, lead workshops, step onto pitches with pride, believe in themselves in ways they never had before. That’s what keeps me going. That’s why Goals 4 Girls exists.

I faced doors slammed in my face, people doubting me — even in the sports world, where at my first funding pitch someone asked if I even knew the offside rule. (I did, by the way.)

None of this would be possible without our team — the staff, the volunteers, the partners who believe in what we’re doing. And it’s not about charity. It’s about justice. It’s about creating real opportunities where there were none before.

2024 was a big year for us - a year of bold growth, deep reflection, and laying the foundations for an even stronger future."

We’re building a future where no girl is left behind.

Thank you for standing with us. Let's keep changing lives — together. Through sport, we have the power to change lives.

Fund accounting

Income

Goals 4 Girls Cio Notes to the Accounts

Expenditure

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Intangible fixed assets and amortisation

Intangible fixed assets (including purchased goodwill, patents and trademarks) are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

Tradedemark of logo 6%% Reducing

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Goals 4 Girls Cio Notes to the Accounts

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.

Fund accounting

Income

Goals 4 Girls Cio Notes to the Accounts

Expenditure

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Intangible fixed assets and amortisation

Intangible fixed assets (including purchased goodwill, patents and trademarks) are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

Tradedemark of logo 6%% Reducing

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Goals 4 Girls Cio Notes to the Accounts

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.

Goals 4 Girls Cio Notes to the Accounts

2 Company status

The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
