ST. OLIVER PLUNKETT FOOTBALL CLUB FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Structure

Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Reference and Administrative Information

The name of the charity's trustees at the date this report was approved are listed on page 1, together with the address of the principal office of the charity and the charity's registration numbers.

Objectives and Activities

The Charity’s objects (‘The Objects’) are the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation in particular by the provision of facilities for the playing of football.

When preparing our annual programme we fully considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings. The focus of our activities continues to be the provision of age specific and development specific training and a games programme that is inclusive for all our members. In addition we build in social issue awareness education that provides our members with workshops focussing on alcohol, drugs, mental health, nutrition and wider issues. We aspire to develop and build upon the capacity of our coaches to maximise the effectiveness of the service provided to members. Our membership is open to people from all backgrounds, irrespective of faith, gender or personal circumstances. The trustees are all fully aware and respect the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Achievements and Performance

The charity catered directly for the needs of circa 700 beneficiaries overall. Within this we have again seen further growth in our senior membership with the introduction of an Over 35 team and significant expansion of our female membership, another additional growth on the previous year. We have also introduced to our programme a 3-day Summer Camp that’s affordable for the young families in the area in which we utilise a blend of experienced volunteer club coaches and young club members starting on their coaching journey. July 2022 seen the welcome return of our residential programme at the Foyle Cup in Derry having been postponed the previous two years due to COVID restrictions. A contingent of 144 coaches and players aged 10-16 took part in the 5- day event staying in locations across Coleraine, Letterkenny and Derry City. To renew existing licences, induct new coaches and improve volunteer capabilities we have provided access to Designated Child Protection training, Child Safeguarding, Sports Specific First Aid and IFA Coach Education at National Coaching Certificate (NCC) Level. We continue to provide a 50 week a year programme, free of charge, of introductory sessions for 4–6-year-olds inclusive to children irrespective of their ability and gender. This allows a pathway for boys and girls at a ‘development level’ to play competitive games with other clubs who like ourselves who aren’t yet ready to take part in the IFA Games Development Programme. The charity has this year again increased participation of members (coaches and players) from multiple national backgrounds to reflect the diversity of people in the community.

ST. OLIVER PLUNKETT FOOTBALL CLUB FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)

Achievements and Performance continued

Fundraising activities this year were severely curtailed due to the focus on re-establishing the 7 day a week club programme of activities as we came out of COVID restrictions. Equally funding opportunities were at an all-time low due to the heavy investment by statutory and private funders in supporting charities and sports clubs through the COVID period.

Impacts, Benefits and Outcomes

Our annual net receipts tally was in line with the objectives set at the beginning of the year. This year we again raised funds at Christmas for the local St. Vincent De Paul to help local families. Despite the rise in membership and shortfall in funding we inducted and trained a sufficient number of coaches to maintain our regular Winter training sessions for all our young people enabling them to meet and participate in training sessions.

Financial review

The results for the year are set out on page 6 & 7. The charity returned net receipts/payments for the year of (£6,081) (2022 net receipts/payments £15,349). At 31 March 2023 the total funds the charity held amounted to £109,437 (2022: £115,557) of which restricted funds were £NILL (2022:£12,874) and £109,437 (2022: £102,683) were unrestricted.

Reserves policy and going concern

Of the total funds reported above, £65,838 is made up of cash at the bank. The trustees are confident that the cash reserves, together with expected future incomes, will be sufficient to meet the working capital requirements for the forthcoming year. The trustees have also considered the extent to which existing activities and expenditure could be curtailed, should the need arise.
