Morden Little League 87 Ash Road Sutton Surrey SM3 9LA
Morden Little League Football Annual Report for the year to 31August 2022
Constitution
Morden Little League is an unincorporated Association, is a Registered Charity (Number 803722) and its address is c/o 87 Ash Road, Sutton Surrey, SM3 9LA.
The Charity is administered by a Management Committee elected from the volunteer members of the organisation.
Aims and Objectives
Morden Little League (MLLF) once again met its primary objective of providing free organised football to boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 14 years. As in previous years the aim of mass participation rather than elitism and an emphasis on equalities and diversity were the guiding principles employed.
Issues and Achievements
We have complied with FA and Little League requirements that now include the position of two League Welfare Officers. It has been a successful year in both performances on and off the pitch.
It has taken the League Management Committee, led by the League Secretary. Into the league’s 55[th] season we still have the challenges with the local council no longer providing use of the ground free of charge. Fundraising has had to be stepped up to try and cover the £5000 increase to annual costs and the league have stepped up to the challenge. The management committee will be doing everything in its power to keep this free football going for as long as possible without endangering the leagues survival.
I would like to thank all those that donate their time to voluntary roles with Morden Little League, past and present, and to the boys and girls who make it all worthwhile.
Overall, over 670 children and over 150 volunteers participated in the Morden Little League Football over 28 weeks, playing around 400 hours of organised football.
Yours Faithfully David Bonner League Secretary Morden Little League
