Chairman's Review for the ytar ended 31 August 2025
Th¢ year I Sept 2024- 31 August 2025 has been another exciting one of gromh. development and a broadening of
boih the programmes we offer and the 8eographic area we work in. We have ettjoy¢d sup￿IrtIng SFS as it continues
to develop, ref￿e aftd become more $lralegic both in terms of our outsvard-facing progratnmes and activiti¢s but also
in our governan¢¢ and accountsbility systems and structures. Over the year we have appointcd new staff and
volunteers, led mission teams in new sports {ice hockey and cheerleading). worked in new countries {Sweden and
Zarnbia). and dramatically increased our social ]n¢dia presen¢¢ and impact. However. wc did experience some
rbulence - we were sad to s¢e a valued member of our staff leave io pursue tnini5try with a Chur¢h in England. and
the joyful anticipation of appointing four new Board members a]so came with some sadnes$ as three long-serving
Board members retired and one new Board member also bad to resi8n due to external issues_ At all times and in all
¢ircumstanc¢s, we Strive to be thankful for what God h&5 allowed us to achieve and the impact w¢ have had over the
l&st 13 years. and to be obedient in li5teTring and obeying what He has for us in the future.
We are content that both our objectives for the year atld our stated b¢n¢fits to the public were successfully
delivered, allowing people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to improve iheir spiritual well-being. lead a
healthier and more active lifestyle while developing a love of sport and to become tnor¢ aware of and involved in
their local Churches. The coache5 we worked wth became more effective and ¢ompetent as well a5 developed th¢ir
leadership capabilities and Spiri￿al awarenessni¢alth. Several of the coach¢s we trained have recently moved into
professional coa¢hing roles, testament to our rigorous and impactful coach education prograsntnes.
We are also content with the finan¢ial results forthe year. With a tota] income of £400,618 and a total operating cost
of £384,924, we are pleased io have maitltained a p05jtive cash position throughout the year. surp]￿ is typically
used to reinvest in new staff - we appointed a full-time Missions Support Worker in February 2025, attd in the first
quarter of our next finan¢ia] year we plan on r¢cruitin8 a part-time Football Work¢T and a full-time Operations
Manager. Some surplus will also be used to invest in several of ovr new OUir¢a¢h programme5 across North¢m
Ireland in the ¢otnin8 year.
Across the year w¢ engaged with and led a wide range of sports activities and programmes with many thousand5 of
participants in Northern Irelat2d and acros5 the globe. Th¢se included Children, young people, and adults sports
novices to 5POrts professionals. and with people who already know Jesus and those who do no¢ hav¢ a personal
relationship with him yet. We worked in an increased number of schools. Churches and unifornied organisations in
more areas of Northern Ireland than ever before and inCr￿sed th¢ number of ethnic minority adults we worked with
each week. Our staff work so diligently to run our programtnes with ex¢ellellc£ to improve th¢ physica],
ctnotional and Spiritual h¢alth of all we rub shoulders with.
It was grrat to see the impact of hiring a part-time Media Cont¢nt Creator lastyear who overh2uled our social
media presence and tripled the engagement and reach w¢ hav¢ online, and hiring a full-time Missions Support
Worker ihis year allowed us to more effectively plan and lead both incotning outgoing short-term mission
We were deli8hted to continue our strong relationships with long-standing parthers such as Summer M&dness, New
Horizon. Exodus. ISF Ilnternational Spotts Federation). Servant Life, CIY (Christ in Youih), SFS Kenya and ECSU
(European Chri51ian Sports Uniottl to lead variou5 types of sports outrea¢h activities. It was also exciting to b¢gin
new partnerships with or8anisations such as Sport for Life and Sports Que$l with whom we have begun exploring
ways of working together on European spotts outreach programme5.
After more than five year5 of prayer and platming. it was gre* seeing FORGE, our sports ministy iraining
programme, begin. The four inaugutal parti¢tpants graduated with a Certificate in Spiritua] Formation and Sports
Ministy after two months of classroom learning, practical sports rninisty ¢XP¢Tience and deep reflective practice.
Its lifelong impact was seen as one participant ha5 already made steps to move into full-time ministy. W¢ were
delighted FORGE was endoised by Ridley Hall. Catnbridge. with whom w¢ are already plamiing on partnering
further and deeper with on the second FORGE cohort in Summer 2026.

Risk Managemejat
The Trustee5 have conducted a r¢view of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Where appropriate,
systems or procedures have been established to mitj8ate the risks the charity faces. Risks to external fvndin8
have led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for the diversification of fvnding and activities.
Intemal ¢oniToI risks ar¢ minimised by th¢ implementation of pro¢edures for th¢ authori￿tIon of all transa¢tions
and projects. Procedures and policies are place to ensure the health and safety of all staff, volunteers and
participants involveil in our activities. These procedures and policÉes are periodically reviewed to ensure that
they continue to meet the netds of the charity.
Funds Held as Custodi8
No fi]nds are held as custodian on behalf of other5.
Resetryes Poli¢y
Considering the variabl¢ and fixed commitments. Ihe Trusiees have established a reserves policy to allow the
charity to be managed ¢ffe¢tiv¢ly and to ensure unintetrupted delivery of th¢ charity's aciivities. A general reserve
equating to Six months of operatiotlal costs 5htsuld be maintained. The Board based projeGtiotLS for the appTopriat¢
amount of reserves on the basis that th¢ Teserves in our target range would provide short-term r¢li¢f until long-
terjn 501utions can be established. At 31 August 2025, the Unrestri¢ted Reserves wer¢ £209.297 whi¢h represents
7 ￿onthS of operational costs. Some of this Teserv¢ will likely be used to fman¢¢ an incr¢as¢ in staff in the
forthcoming year.
Plans for Future Ye8r5
W¢ are ¢urr¢ntly reviewing our first cohort of FORGE, and will shortly begin planning for the second cohort in
JurtelJuly 2026. En the coming year, we plan to work extensively with staff at Ridley Hall to develop FORGE'S
¢urri¢ulum online, increase the number of students (ideally up to 8) on the programme, and increase the numb
of sports represented by the stt]dents. This will allow a wider group of players, coaches and supporters to hear
(from our Students) the Gospel. With one of the first cohorts now believin8 they are being called into full-tim¢
Christian ministry (ODe of the key p¢rforn)anc¢ indicators of FORGE), we are working alongside them and th¢ir
home church to support them tn making this transition.
Before the end of 2025, we plan on employing a part-time football worker and a fvll-time Operations Manager.
These roles will undoubtedly support us in maintaining and growing our sports outreach activities in Schools,
Churche5, uniformed organisations and sp￿lf1¢8]lY with local football play¢TS, ¢oa¢h¢s and supporters, both in
