Football Club decreased, with 125
individuals from across London and the
South of England registering to play
football for the club during the 2024/2025
season. Four teams were entered to

registered members to participate in a total
of 79 matches across the season.
New team kits were purchased for playing
members of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd XI football
teams, thanks in part to sponsorship
funding from Footboard.

to be announced as winners of the
Wilkinson Sword trophy, awarded to the
club with the best discipline record and
sportsmanship scores throughout the

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|Cash at bank at 30 June 2025 was £6,420.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|Funds are held to cover personal accident

membership subscriptions, being collected
in September.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£1,500| |Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22|Not applicable.| |Details of fund materially in
deficit|Para 1.24|Not applicable.| |Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
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|||||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||trusts:|||||||||| ||Type of governing document|||Para 1.25|||Constitution adopted on 7 August 2023|||| ||(trust deed, royal charter)|||||||||| ||How is the charity|||Para 1.25|||CIO|||| ||constituted?|||||||||| ||(e.g unincorporated|||||||||| ||association, CIO)|||||||||| ||Trustee selection methods|||Para 1.25|||Trustees are appointed or reappointed by|||| ||including details of any||||||resolution passed at a properly convened|||| ||constitutional provisions e.g.||||||meeting of the charity trustees.|||| ||election to post or name of|||||||||| ||any person or body entitled|||||||||| ||to appoint one or more|||||||||| ||trustees|||||||||| ||**Reference and Administrative details**|||||||||| ||Charity name||||OLD BLUES|ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB||||| ||Other name the charity uses||||OLD BLUES|FC, OBFC, OBAFC||||| ||Registered charity number||||1204228|||||| ||Charity’s principal address||||OLD BLUES|ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB||||| ||||||C/O KEW & HAM SPORTS ASSOCIATION|||||| ||||||HAM FIELDS|||||| ||||||RICHMOND|||||| ||||||TW10 7RX|||||| ## **Names of the charity trustees who manage the charity** |**Trustee name**|**Office (if any)**|**Dates acted if not**
