Chairman's Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
As Chair of Kingswood Sports CIO, I am immensely proud to lead an organisation that delivers such profound and measurable value to our community. Our ability to generate £3.1 million in social value annually is a powerful testament to the tireless dedication of our volunteers and the transformative power of sport. We have become a vital multi-sport hub, offering accessible and inclusive activities that enhance the physical and mental well-being of thousands of local people.
However, our very success has brought us to a critical point. The demand for our services continues to grow, yet our ability to meet this need is severely constrained by our reliance on externally managed, often inadequate, facilities that are hired. To continue having the life-changing impact our community deserves, we must secure a permanent, high-quality home.
To achieve this, the Board has made the strategic decision to invest in a professional leadership team to drive our vision forward. Our goal is clear: to build a sustainable, multi-sport community facility that will serve as a beacon of opportunity and well-being for generations to come. This report details our significant achievements and outlines the ambitious future we invite our partners and funders to help us build.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The primary objective of the charity is to promote community participation in healthy recreation. Our vision is to be the heartbeat of the local community, using the power of sport to unite all. Our mission is to harness the unifying power of sports to create a positive social impact by providing accessible, high-quality sports programs for all.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm they have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. Kingswood Sports CIO operates as an essential public service, delivering tangible benefits to the residents of some of the most deprived wards in England, with a primary focus on the HU7, HU8, and HU9 postcodes of Hull.
Our work is strategically aligned with the key priorities of Hull City Council, focusing on improving public health, creating safer communities, enhancing social cohesion, and providing positive pathways for young people.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Our impact this year, as quantified by an independent socio-economic review from the England Football Association, has been valued at an outstanding ’3.1 million in social and economic value to our community. Performance Highlights:
-Community Reach: We engaged with 959 youth players, 80 adult players, and 3,300 community members from a wider audience.
-Youth Impact (Value: ’708,000): Our programmes have made young people happier (82%), more confident (80%), and less anxious (63%).
-Adult Impact (Value: ’233,000): Our activities directly contribute to a 20-40% reduction in the risk of non-communicable diseases for participants.
-Workforce Impact (Value: ’2.1 million): Our volunteers contributed 86,907 hours of support, equivalent to a salary value of ’1.3 million.
Our Impact: The Stories Behind the Statistics
-Case Study: The Youth Player . "Finding a Voice" Leo (Anonymous) joined us as a shy 8-year-old. Our welcoming environment, focused on effort rather than ability, helped him blossom into a confident and vocal member of his team. "The club gave him more than just football; it gave him a place to belong... Itfs changed his life, and ours."
-Case Study: The Empowered Player . "From Surviving to Thriving" Sarah (Anonymous) joined our ladies' session to find a purpose beyond a high-pressure job while battling mental health challenges. The team became her anchor. Empowered by her journey, she now mentors new members.
"This team gave me a reason to fight for myself again... Now, being able to help other women take that first step is the best feeling in the world."
-Case Study: The Enduring Supporter . "A Lifeline on the Sidelines" David's (Anonymous) connection began as a parent and became a vital support system for his own mental health. Years after his children have moved on, he remains an active volunteer.
"I first came for my kids, but I stayed for myself. For my mental health, this club has been an absolute lifesaver."

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
A cornerstone of our financial model is the substantial and reliable recurring revenue generated from membership fees, which amounted to £153,552 this year. This predictable income provides exceptional cash flow stability, covers all core operational costs, and demonstrates a strong 'buy-in' from the community we serve. It means that external grants can be used for growth and impact, rather than simply sustaining operations.
Total turnover for the year was £352,433 resulting in a healthy operating profit (surplus) of £58,176. Building on this success, we project 15% year-on-year growth, forecasting a turnover of approximately £349,800 for the 2025-26 period.
Reserves policy
The year's surplus has allowed the charity to comfortably meet and exceed its reserves target of approximately £18,500, ensuring financial stability for the future.
FUTURE PLANS
Our incredible success has brought us to a critical juncture. Our reliance on hiring external facilities is no longer sustainable, with projected annual costs set to exceed ’100,000. This model poses a significant financial risk and is the single biggest barrier to our future impact, necessitating a reduction in our services during the winter months. Our primary strategic objective is to secure a permanent, purpose-built home for the Kingswood Sports CIO. This is an essential step to ensure our long-term future. Owning our own facility will:
-Secure Financial Sustainability: Redirect over 100,000 in annual hire costs directly into expanding our front-line community services.
-Guarantee Year-Round Impact: Provide all-weather facilities to eliminate winter closures and ensure consistent, reliable support for our community. -Unlock Our Full Potential: Create a permanent community hub that allows us to double our programme capacity and secure a vital asset for the people of Hull for generations to come.
Our professional leadership is in place, our governance is robust, and our social impact is proven. We are now actively seeking grant funding and strategic partnerships to bring this vision to life.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Kingswood Sports CIO is governed by its board of trustees, who meet monthly. To manage our significant growth, the Board has made a crucial strategic investment by recruiting a Charity Manager and a Business and Outreach Manager.
Our Team: A Powerful Combination
Our operational model is a hybrid of community passion and professional expertise. The 243 volunteers are the lifeblood of our CIO, providing the front-line delivery, local knowledge, and dedication that make our work possible. This incredible volunteer force is now supported by our new professional leadership team, who provide the strategic direction, operational management, and fundraising expertise necessary to drive our ambitions and ensure robust governance at scale. This combination ensures we remain deeply rooted in our community while operating with the professionalism required to manage significant projects and funding.
Risk Management and Governance in Action The Board actively oversees a suite of over 20 bespoke policies, each of which is reviewed annually and assigned to a designated lead officer. Our policies are continually updated to reflect the latest mandatory requirements from the FA and the RFL. They are rigorously aligned with the statutory guidance of 'Keeping Children Safe in Education' (KCSIE), ensuring our safeguarding and operational standards remain at the highest possible level.

the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
