Achievements and Performance- Agreement with LBN on a new 2￿year lease of rts gym and premises.
The Clubs future assured and a National Lottery grant for refurbishment.
By the end of 2025 WHBC had been in its new gymlclubhouse for 12 years. Its original occupation had
been under a 7-year lease from the London Borough of Newham which expired in March 2020 at the very
Commen￿Ment of the National Covid 19 Lockdown under which all youth and sporting clubs were
statutorily required to ￿ase all group activity and close until further notice.

West Ham Boys Club
Trustoes, Roport
For the year ended 31 May 2025
The Club had been told by London Borough of Newham that discussion on a new lease could not begin
until the final part of the last year of the lease i.e. from March 2019 to March 2020. However, events in that
year.. cutbacks lo LBN budgets from government grants, and slaffing., the resulting change of the Clubs
link offi￿r$ wilh LBN meant no discussions on a new lease could be held before the Covid Pandemic
Crisis struck. At that point like many local authorities many LBN staff were fudoughed under the
Government scheme.
The Club were infonned their continued occupation of the premises by the Club was sanctioned by
temporary licence from LBN and it should continue to pay its rent and charges on the established basis.
That initial licence was until April 2021. but when that dale arrived the Pandemic continued and it was
further rolled over indefinitely until the new lease could be negotiated and the Club re-establish its
occupation with a formal lease.
The renegotiation of a new 20 year lease on the premises previously known as the Curwen CenlrelJordan
Hall was a lengthy pro￿$8 in which the Club Chair Dean Hollington was indefatigable on 2 fronts and the
Trustees wish to place on the record their sincere thanks for his work which was time consuming for such
a successful businessman to spare but highlights his Gommitment to the Club.
Previous Trustee Reports have set oul how since 2021 it has been necessary for Voluntary Organisations
active in Newham looking for financial support or equivalent e.g. a substantial rental discount on LBN
owned premises they are leasing for valuable community work to engage in a Social Value Audit process.
It is only LBN socialere lo remind that with the Curwen Centre market rent assessed by LBN Valuers at
well in excess of £50k the Club needed lo agree with the relevant section of LBN social value outputs
and outcomes together aggregating on the scoring system used to at least a 700A discount on the market
rent with a preferable target of 75%. Of the time laken to renegotiate a new lease 909/0 of it went on this
part of the process.
Only once this was agreed could discussions begin on the second front with LBN Valuers of the full temis
of a lease of 20 years and in addition a break clause should an SVA discount on market rent of the
required amount prove unachievable.
At the most significant Club Committee Meeting in years with all Trustees present on March 23rd, 2025,
the final 20-year lease was signed and agreed in the required format be￿een the Mayor and Burgesses of
London Borough of Newham and the Trustees of the West Ham Boys Club.
Without secure premises few voluntary organisations in London are able to survive not least because
without this Ihey cannot usually access grants and awards espècially of a capital type from grant giving
charities and statutory organisalions.

West Ham Boys Club
Truste￿. Report
For the year endod 31 May 2025
Significantly within days of the new lease being agreed the National Lottery awarded the Club a grant of
£20,000 towards the first phase of refurbishment al the gym Iclubhouse including the ladies, toilets. An
active fundraising campaign has now begun to enable further improvements.
TAKEN TOGETHER THESE ENSURE THE CLUBS FUTURE IS LOOKING BRIGHT
CLUB SHOWS AND EVENTS IN THE 2024-2025 SEASON
Celebration of the Clubs Centenary Year had necessarily had to be delayed a year because of the
National Pandemic Lockdown, but we previously reported on the very high-profile Centenary Dinner
Shows with special guests and Centenary Club Awards held until the end of the 2023 season.
In the 2024-2025 season the Club came into its 103rd year since foundation and above we set out how
the Clubs future has now been assured with that crucial 20-year Lease The2024-2025 season might have
been a more low key one wilhout that. A number of Club boxers previously highlighted as winning
national titles or Boxcup medals had moved to the professional ranks. So, the main task with the
coaching and training team has been to bring through a new generation of boxers from those starting out
in the sport. However, the Coaching l Training Team now 10 in number is now visibly strengthened wilh
newcomers bringing together a welcome mix of experienced Trainer I Coaches wilh a proven track record
of success. The Trustees would like to acknowledge the steadfast enthusiastic dedication of our
Coachingl Training Team by naming them in our Report.. Matt Baty. Mutaz Cheliat, Russell Gerard, Tony
Griffiths, Sara M, Bemie Miller, Harry Penny, Chns Penny, Joey Peters, Dai Pullen. We give our sincere
thanks for their 1 st, Class Volunteer service.
Two Gala Dinner Shows were held al the prestigious Prince Regent Hotel Chigwell venue. The first was in
November 2024 with 7 quality boxing bouts the majority with Wesl Ham boxers participating. There were
Championship toumaments in full swing in a crowded England boxing programme which made it
challenging time to mount Club Shows on both fixture dates. However, these Dinner Shows were
successful as events and a5 key financial contributors to Club funds. The second Dinner Show was in
May 2025 with 9 quality bouts and most with West Ham boxer5 involved.
There is a huge amount of work involved in organising and running these Dinner Shows and being
unable to attend myself I want to place on record my gratitude in particular to Officers Dean Hollington
Nadia Alves Chris Penny, Russell Gerrard and to Trustees Bill Curbishley and Jason Beard attending
Trustees for their contributions of different kinds
Other Club Shows
Open Club Shows were focused on getting as many bouls as possible and as a rule were joint shows with
other local Clubs such as Fight for Peace and Peacock Clubs.

Championship Success by Members
Two notable successes by Club boxer members in National Championships run by England Boxing
desetve to be highlighted.
From the Spring of 2023 there was a new Club Boxing Captain in Freddie Pullen who also represented the
Members by attending the Club Committee. Freddie had been among Ihe most regular to turn out for
England International duty in multinational tournaments around the World since getting his first England
vest in 2024. But it is with particular pleasure we congratulate him on winning the Senior National Elite
Championship at 60 kilos in March 2025. He then attended his first 4 Nations Championship in Cardiff in
May 2025 where he emerged a Runner Up
In the Schools Championships Suleyman Elmegedt emerged as a National Champion in exceptional style
and clearly looks to have a great future in the sport
Club Work in the Community remains a priority.
The Club remains proud of its close links with and work it undertakes in the community.which were
priority in the former Service Level Agreement and even more so under the agreed Social Value Audit
There is community outreach to such locations as New Community College led by our hugely committed
Community Service Team . Regular sessions for local University students take place at the Club gym ￿lce
week in tem time for 4-hour sessions.
Organisational structure
WHBC Management Committee are responsible for providing the overall strategic direction of the
organisation. In May 2023 the Committee agreed a 5 Year Business and Activity Plan. Volunteer officers,
trainerlcoaches and Committee members wholly run the WHBC. It does not ernploy paid staff, The regular
Committee meetings enable the Officers who carry out the agreed policies on behalf oflhe Club
Committee to report to it on progress and consult with il to agree financial decisions, affiliations and other
policies. The Club has adopted the model policies of London Youth on equality. diversity, safeguarding and
other issues.

Emphasis of matter - Going concern
In common wth many other charitable organisations, the charity is dependent on periodi¢ grants to
ensure its continuation as a going concern. There is no certainty about continued funding. In view of the
significance of this financial uncertainty, I consider that it should be drawn to your attention, but I do not
qualify my ￿pOrt in this respect.

2014)
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by Section 34 FRS 102
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement to
produce a cash flow statement because it is a small charity.
b) Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the stalemenl of
financial adivrties when r￿1ved.
cl Revenue grants are credited to the statement of financial activrties when received or receivable which
ever is earlier, unless Ihey relate to a specific fulure period, in which case they are deferred.
dl Gifts in kind represent assets donated for distribution or use by the charity. Assets given for distribution
are recognised as incoming resour￿$ only when distributed. Assets given for use by the charity are
recognised when receivable. Gifts in kind are valued at the amount actually realised from the disposal
of the assels or al the price the charity would otherwise have paid for the assels.
el Grants for the purchase of fixed assets are recognised in full in the ststement of financial activities in
the year in which they are received.
D Fixed assets are for use by the charity in fulfilling its main charitable objects and are capilalised and
depreciated. Depreciation is provided on all fixed assets at rates calculated lo write off the cost of each
asset over its estimated useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows..
Gym equipment
5 years slraight line
Computer equipment
4 years slfaight line
Other tangible fixed asset 10 years slraighl line

incurred.
g) All leases of equipment are operating leases, and renlals are charged to the slalemenl of financial
aclivrties on a straight line basis over the length of the lease. No assets are held under hire purchase
agreements.
