uncertainties about the

concern|Para 1.23|Participation in amateur level football
appears to be decreasing in recent years
and the main risk to the charity continuing
as a going concern is a reduction in its
membership. However, there is flexibility in
that the charity can counter reduced
membership (and therefore reduced
income) by reducing the number of teams it
provides, thereby reducing its costs
accordingly, as required.| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
