## TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT CHARITY NAME: PORTSMOUTH REFEREES DEVELOPMENT GROUP CHARITY REGISTRATION NUMBER: 1207290 FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING: 31[ST] MARCH 2025 ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** |Summary of the purposes of the
charity as set out in the governing
document.
Summary of the main activities in
relation to those purposes for the
public benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|The aim of our organisation is to
offer advanced education for young
people over the age of 14 and
adults in the Portsmouth District
and the surrounding areas. We
strive to offer the provision of
vocational and physical training in
football refereeing.
As a Referees Development group,
we offer regular training sessions
for people over the age of 14
including adults. We as an
experienced group of coaches offer
a split between theoretical training
and practical activities to develop
the skill set required to support
individuals with their refereeing
journeys. Every individual's
development is reviewed closely
throughout the year, offering
additional sessions and online
training when required. Alongside
the regular training we provide in
the Portsmouth area, we often get
new members looking to join our
group as we offer a unique training
platform for all ages and abilities.
Refereesjoin us from all different| |---|---| |The Role and Contribution of
Volunteers within the Organisation.|backgrounds, and they come to
join to us, to help them progress in
the refereeing world.
Our Development Group is formed
by paying members and volunteers.
Our Volunteers are non-paid
running referees who give up time
to provide high quality training in
the form of planned training
sessions on a regular basis. We felt
that having active referees
delivering the sessions was the
most effective way forward as our
members can use the volunteer's
expertise to support their own
game. We also have a couple of
volunteers who support with
administration tasks when
required. Volunteers provide a vital
role in keeping our organisation on
track with our aims and objectives.| |---|---| ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** |**Key Achievements: A summary of**
**the main achievements during**
**the year, highlighting the **impact
of the charities work on its
beneficiaries|**Throughout the year we have had**
**many achievements that we had**
**celebrated. The Main one being**
**the successful promotions**
**achieved by many of our**
**members. In the Refereeing**
program now, referees with the
correct skill set can obtain mid-
season promotions enabling them
to advance quicker up the
refereeing ladder. This can only
happen if the members have the
correct training which we feel we as
an organisation haveprovided| |---|---| sufficiently, helping these successful members achieve their goals. Other Achievements include being asked to provide match officials for a Premier League Tournament on remembrance Sunday. We provided a mixed of boys and girls to officiate at the event, which proved to be a huge success as we have been asked to do more events in the future. This was a very proud moment for us as an organisation, and it shows outside organisations that we can provide the talent required for such events across the country. At the Start of the year, we set out with the main objective being to offer the best training for referees. As the Season has gone on, our number of members have dropped slightly as what we offer requires a set amount of commitment and unfortunately some members have been unable to commit to the group on going. However, on the positive side, we achieved the level of refereeing promotions that we set out and have managed to identify more talent that we can support who have joined us from outside the Portsmouth area. We Welcome new members all the time and if we can provide individuals with enough knowledge to achieve there refereeing dreams, we as an organisation have achieved our goals. |Targets for the Remainder of this
year.
Financial Overview|As we enter the second part of the
Refereeing season, we are now
turning out attention into looking at
obtaining some grant funding from
different sources. We welcome on
board; Karen Burns who will
undertake the role as Grant Co-
ordinator as we look to find
sufficient funds to develop the
training and progression of all
members to the next level.
In the Coming months, we are
planning to put on a referees
welcome evening. This is designed
to allow more members from
outside the Portsmouth area to
come along and see what structure
we have in place, hoping that new
members will enrol in our program
in the not-too-distant future.
At Present we have just a small pot
of reserve funds available if
required. Our prime source of
income comes from paying
members who pay for their training
monthly. As we look to grow, we
will investigate the Grant
application process, with our aim
being to grow our pot and build as
an organisation at the same time.| |---|---| **The Trustees of our organisation are all in agreement with the above: Chris James Kevin Moore Dean Clarke** ## **Pete Higgins** Dated: 30[th] January 2026 Report Above: Complied by Chris James **PORTSMOUTH REFEREES DEVELOPMENT GROUP** **12** ## **Recei ts and a ments accou p p y** 31ST MARCH 25 **To** **For the period from** ## **Section A Receipts and payments** **Unrestricted funds** ## **Restricted funds** **to the nearest £ to the nearest £** **Endowment funds** **to the nearest £** |**A1 Receipts**|**-**
