Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 31 May 2025
Objectives and activities
The charity's objectives ("objects") are specifically restricted to the following:
-
a. to advance the amateur sport of association football.
-
b. to promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing access to facilities for playing association football and other sports (facilities mean land, buildings, equipment and organising football activities).
-
c. to provide and assist in providing facilities for sport, recreation and other leisure time occupation of people who have need of such facilities because of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life.
-
d. to act as a resource for young people up to the age of 18 living in Whitstable, Kent, and the surrounding areas by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of:
-
I. advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals
-
II. to advance the education of children and young people whether or not undergoing formal education.
-
III. relieving unemployment
Nothing in the CIO’s constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the CIO for the purposes which are not charitable in accordance with [section 7 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005] and [section 2 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008]
The CIO has the power to do anything which is calculated to further its objects or is conducive or incidental to doing so. In particular, the CIO has the power to:
-
a. borrow money and to charge the whole or any part of its property as security for the repayment of the money borrowed. The CIO must comply as appropriate with sections 124 and 125 of the Charities Act 2011 if it wishes to mortgage land
-
b. buy, take on lease or in exchange, hire or otherwise acquire any property and to maintain and equip it for use
-
c. sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the property belonging to the CIO. In exercising this power, the CIO must comply as appropriate with sections 117 and 119-123 of the Charities Act 2011
-
d. employ and remunerate such staff as are necessary for carrying out the work of the CIO. The CIO may employ or remunerate a charity trustee only to the extent that it is permitted to do so by clause 6 (Benefits and payments to charity trustees and connected persons) and provided it complies with the conditions of that clause
-
e. deposit or invest funds, employ a professional fund-manager, and arrange for the investments or other property of the CIO to be held in the name of a nominee, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as the trustees of a trust are permitted to do by the Trustee Act 2000.
Achievements and performance
In the first instance, the trustees can confirm that WTFC continues to fulfil its obligations as a CIO. Chair of the board Darren Griffin, club chair Steve Clayton and secretary Francesca Milne are in regular contact both formally and informally. The Trustees group are meeting regularly.
During the 2024-2025 period, Garry Beesley stepped down as trustee and the board approached Richard Archer and Ruth Steele as possible trustees. Both were appointed during the current period.

Whitstable Town Football Club Youth CIO
Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 31 May 2025
Grants:
Darren Griffin and Francesca Milne worked together to secure a £10,000 grant from Canterbury City Council for the purposes of setting up a pan disability team last period. Some progress towards this initiative has been made following the partnership set-up with Tankerton following their request. Due to a range of circumstances, individuals within the club assigned to further the cause of the disability team failed to fulfil their responsibilities and the club chose to return approximately half the grant in lieu of the commitments being partially fulfilled. The club nonetheless remains committed to disability football.
Football in the Community:
We continue to expand our provision in the community to include Walking Football, Disability Football, JPL and further youth and girls’ teams. We continue to recruit to all age and ability levels and maintain a healthy balance between full rosters and manageable waiting lists. Teams now include youth, Men’s and Women’s Walking, Veterans, Academy and Disability. While Men’s and Women’s Walking and Veterans are, strictly speaking, not “youth” teams, the CIO are considering incorporating them in some capacity.
In our continuing quest to secure further facilities, we are in discussion with The Whitstable School, regularly use their facilities and have advanced discussions about partnering to apply for grants to recarpet their pitch. Also, we are still in discussions with Canterbury Council re a licence for Radfall. Negotiations in this regard can be a somewhat “back and forth”, but we hope to report resolution in the next year’s report.
Partnerships and sponsorship:
Our colleague Jack Fagg is working on Sponsorship and has had a series of successes. We noted that it will soon be time for teams with two-year deals expiring to start thinking about new sponsors for next season. We have a new stadium sponsor and, overall, the club is in a healthy position; this has positive knock-on effects for the CIO.
We continue to partner with East Kent College to provide work experience in social media. There are a few teething issues which are currently being ironed out.
We continue to partner with Canterbury Christchurch for Coaching opportunities.
Our Academy students continue to gain work experience with the Disability team.
Looking Forward:
There are, overall, fewer children coming through the teams over the coming years, which may reflect demographic changes in the region. We are conscious that this mean teams may not be full in the future, so the club is looking at how best to address this. We are also looking at improving our changing Rooms and the ground at Radfall.
We continue to hold meaningful discussions on the work of the trustees to support the club going forward. One focus will be on grants the club may be eligible for. Richard Archer and Ruth Steele focussed on looking for grants and potential applications. As they are new to the role they will need to be supported by Darren Griffin. Darren Griffin and Francesca Milne had previously also worked well together on the Disability Grant and this is a possible mechanism for future success. As the (still relatively new) relationship between the CIO/trustees and the wider club continues to develop, knowledge of the club needs will become increasingly apparent, helping us to write future bids. Steve Clayton has agreed to redouble efforts to support. It was agreed that communication should go through the Signal Group and any possible grants found during people’s research should be put in there. Joint working groups to apply for grants may then be set up if appropriate. It had been agreed at the AGM that a separate page on the website was needed for the CIO.

Future Plans:
Discussions are ongoing on future plans of the CIO. It was felt that the best start was to publicise its existence to the parent body and so the trustees have a plan in place which will be communicated to parents with an introductory letter. It will also include a note about how parents can become more involved with a paragraph about new trustees.
The CIO continues to be kept abreast of plans for the club overall and will offer support as needed and where appropriate. These will benefit the youth while they are at the ground for training, matches and include Turnstiles, new food outlet, new stand proposal and new Clubhouse. Possible future grants include the Lioness Fund for toilet improvements and the Forever Active Grant for people new to Walking Football. Progress towards these will be documented in next year’s report. We gave discussed putting up the registration fee next season and lowering the monthly subs to compensate so that we can receive the maximum amount of Gift Aid.
Financial review
Finance Director’s Report:
Administration of the Charity’s finances remains clearly separated from those of Whitstable Town Football Club Limited, including separate bank accounts (with different banks).
2024/25 has been the first full financial year for Whitstable Town Football Club Youth as a charity following its incorporation on 26 October 2023.
This year there were 505 youth player registrations – with each player paying a £25 registration fee and then monthly subscriptions. Subscriptions for the overwhelming majority of the players have been kept at a similar level for seven years; in 2024/25 these realised almost £104,000 and represented the Charity’s biggest income stream.
Teams are expected to find sponsorship for playing kit every two seasons and can also seek support for the provision of training kit, rain jackets, tracksuits and bags. They have been very successful at this and in 2024/25 sponsors – mainly local businesses – have given almost £23,000.
The Charity’s Statement of Financial Activities for the year showed a surplus of £4,696 (2024: £57,115).
The Charity's Statement of Financial Position for the year showed net current assets of £61,811 (2024: £57,115), this is made up of a cash balance of £65,111 (2024: £57,115) and other creditors of £3,300 (2024: £nil). This balance compromised Restricted funds amounting to £nil (2024: £5,830) and Unrestricted Funds of £61,811 (2024: £51,285).
The trustees have previously determined that an appropriate level of free cash at the year-end should be equivalent to £20,000; this remains unchanged. This allows the Charity sufficient working capital to continue operating effectively.

Trustees' responsibilities statement
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustee's 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 requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each 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, of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports). They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Whitstable Town Football Club Youth CIO
Year ended 31 May 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Whitstable Town Football Club Youth CIO ('the charity') for the year ended 31 May 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements 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.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
