STRATEGIC REPORT |
Achievement and performance |
Charitable activities |
The Trust has had another year of growth and success expanding its programmes across Preston and the surrounding areas. 2023 saw the Trust grow to 45 full time staff investing in excess of £1million into the Preston Community across its three strands of work. The last 12 months have once again been economically hard as a result of the cost of living crisis. Despite this the Trust was able to continue to deliver programmes centred around the needs of our community, which over 17,000 people benefited from. |
We are committed to developing a comprehensive and diverse range of programmes, providing the best opportunities for members of the community. We are also committed to inform the public about our services and opportunities available to them. The Trust has continued to expand the numbers of people it delivers services to and to expand the services available. |
Our key projects delivered during 2022/23 have been: |
Community Engagement |
Premier League Kicks - The Premier League Kicks programme is funded by the Premier League and uses the power of football and sport as a whole to provide free diversionary activities for 8 to 18-year-olds across Preston. |
National Citizens Service - The National Citizens Service programme is a government-backed initiative that gives 15 to 17 year-olds the opportunity to build their confidence and independence while developing life-skills on either a summer or autumn programme. |
PNE Forces - The PNE Forces programme brings together past and present members of the military and their families for a weekly social hour and football sessions, as well as signposting them to local community services where required. |
DIVERT - The DIVERT programme aims to reduce the reoffending rate in Lancashire amongst 18-25-year-olds by working with Custody Intervention Coaches either in custody suites across the county or with statutory agencies who are engaging with those involved in the Criminal Justice System. |
Equality Diversity and Inclusion - Working across the EDI landscape this area of work focuses on delivering initiatives centred on building integration and cohesion within our community. |
Match Day Experience - The Trust facilitates a range of activities on a match day to help fans engage with the football club. These range from a Junior Whites junior supporters club, a family room, half-time entertainment, birthday parties and mascots. |
Education |
School Sport/Premier League Primary Stars - The School Sport/Premier League Primary Stars programme combines maths and literacy concepts into children's PE Lessons, with PNECET staff involvement improving the quality of lessons and standards of teaching. |
After-School Multi-Sport Club - Similar to the above, these extra-curricular based sessions deliver a range of engaging and fun sports to local primary school children. Sessions allow children to take part in a variety of activities in addition to those provided in the school curriculum, which has great benefits to physical and mental health. |
Alternative Education - The Secondary School Provision Programme targets hard-to-reach Key Stage 4 students who may struggle with a lack of confidence or self-esteem in a conventional school environment. |

Report of the Trustees |
for the year ended 30 June 2023 |
Preston Centre of Sporting Excellence - A partnership between PNECET and Preston's College, the Preston Centre of Sport Excellence provides high quality further education programmes in sport for 16-19 year-olds, from levels one to three. |
University of South Wales Foundation Degree - In conjunction with the University of South Wales and the English Football League Trust, PNECET offers a foundation degree course in Community Football Coaching and Development, which can be extended to a full degree qualification. |
Traineeships - 12 week programme for those economically inactive. Providing the knowledge and tools to help move people closer to employment. |
Health and Wellbeing |
Weight Management - Our Weight Management programmes take men and women aged 18+ on a health and fitness journey with educational classes and physical activity sessions once a week over a minimum 12-week period. |
Walking Football - An initiative launched to see over 50's re-engage with a sport where the mainstream game is beyond their limitations, due to health or age. A replication of the five-a-side game, but with no running allowed. Walking Football is now an established programme and has really helped us diversify our service and reach the older generation very successfully. |
Sporting Memories - PNE Sporting Memories programme is an initiative which runs alongside the Sporting Memories Foundation, an organisation open to people over 50 who are living with dementia, depression or suffering from loneliness. The programme aims to help people reminisce about previous memories, experiences or moments in their lives through the power of sport. Sports memorabilia, past sporting events, physical activities, quizzes and guest speakers are used to create discussions around sporting events and memories. |
Mental Health Programmes - Our mental health programmes support both young people in an education setting and men who are experiencing challenges with their mental health by providing them with unique opportunities in the club's professional sporting environment and peer to peer support. |
Holiday Activity and Food Programme - This initiative supports children and families who are in receipt of free school meals by providing free activities and food for the children to access during the school holidays. |
Holiday Soccer Camps/Activity Clubs - The final part of our all year round engagement with primary school children, running the full day during school holidays. Provision is provided at an affordable rate, available to all. Children can attend the football-specific activities or our activity club full of multi-sports, arts and crafts. |
Other Club Activities |
The Trust currently delivers a number of activities for the Club, including organising all charity requests, matchday ball collectors, matchday activities, player requests, PFA (Professional Footballer's Association) responsibility for player engagements in the community and tours of the stadium. These ensure that the football club is considered a family club at the heart of its community. |
The Trustees appreciate the efforts of the staff of the Trust in their continued hard work and commitment to the various projects. The Trust has grown substantially in recent years and the Club recognises the support the Trust gives to ensure it is well received by its local community. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
Financial review |
Reserves policy |
The Trustees have considered the Charity's policy in respect of reserves. The Trustees have set a target of retaining at least six months of total expenditure (excluding depreciation) in cash reserves to provide financial security to the Charity in the event of unforeseen reductions in available funding which may arise from time to time. Based on the figures to 30 June 2023, this amounts to approximately £700,000 (2022: £558,000). The balance held at the end of the year of £833,586 (2022: £864,286) meets this target and the Trustees will continue to monitor this position. |
The surplus for the year of £61,390 (2022: £187,582) was transferred to reserves and added to the brought forward surplus of £729,602 (2022: £542,020). The total funds carried forward of £790,992 (2022: £729,602) will be used in future years to meet the objectives of the charity, whilst having due consideration to meeting the stated reserves target above at the discretion of the Trustees. |
Principal risks and uncertainties |
Post COVID-19 and Cost of Living |
We are continuing to monitor the impact the rising cost of living is having on the charity and the programmes we offer. To date we have been able to revise our delivery by making suitable and cost effective decisions to ensure our programmes remain accessible. In summary, we are taking appropriate operational and financial decisions so that we can continue to meet the needs of our beneficiaries whilst ensuring the long-term viability of the Trust. |
Future plans |
The end of 2023 will draw to a close the 2020-2023 Strategy, which has proved to be very successful period for the Charity. Throughout 2023, we have been developing the 2024-2027 strategy, engaging with participants, key stakeholders and employees on the aims and objectives of the organisation ensuring we continue to address the needs of our community and we are looking forward to launching this in quarter one of 2024. |
The Trust will continue with its ambitions of developing additional facilities, which will provide further space to expand our programmes, in turn positively impacting more people from across our community. |
The Trust aims to continue to deliver all of the above programmes and try to increase the number of participants in each case and continue to deliver a high quality provision. |
In addition, the Trust will continue to look for new funding opportunities to help meet its objective of offering innovative programmes to reach a diverse range of individuals in the local community. |

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The trustees (who are also the directors of Preston North End Community And Education Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; |
- | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. |
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
In so far as the trustees are aware: |
- | there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and |
- | the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, McMillan & Co LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Preston North End Community And |
Education Trust |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Preston North End Community And Education Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 30 June 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 June 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Preston North End Community And |
Education Trust |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of trustees |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Preston North End Community And |
Education Trust |
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: |
- | the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
- | we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector; |
- | we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; |
- | we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and |
- | identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: |
- | making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and |
- | considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
- | performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; and |
- | tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions. |
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: |
- | agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
- | reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
- | enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and |
- | reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators including the Health and Safety Executive, and the company's legal advisors. |
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. |

Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

The trustees consider that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, and accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. |
Income |
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
Expenditure |
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
Allocation and apportionment of costs |
Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |

1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Fund accounting |
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Critical accounting estimates and judgments |
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
The Trustees do not consider there are any critical judgments or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed above. |
