Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in March 2005.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The ZRF works to provide sustainable pathways and opportunities within the football and sports industry, that will have a lasting impact on the ZRF Community; a community inclusive of all demographics.

The ZRF ultimately want to see greater diversity across football and the sports industry, at all levels, from grassroots to elite, from coaching to boardroom.

The ZRF is therefore committed to challenging barriers and ensuring that opportunities are equal for all. We provide and showcase opportunities for everyone, regardless of ethnicity, religion, ability, or gender. We address the above inequalities by facilitating opportunities based around our key pillars of work.

Our work is guided by the following key objectives:
- Engagement: Bringing together the ZRF Community; create a network of opportunities for minoritzed groups who are aspiring to work in the football and sports industry.
- Education: Supporting those from minoritized groups to get into education and training, and developing their personal, social, and leadership skills.
- Employment: We will support our community to obtain employment across the football and sports industry.

Significant activities
Significant activities undertaken this year by the ZRF include the following:

Coach Education:
ZRF is committed to increasing diversity in off field roles too. We place a particular emphasis on coaching because, essentially, without coaches we don't have players. Creating and developing coaches is therefore a crucial part of ZRF's mission. When we create teams and clubs, we not only provide opportunities for players, but we also aspire to create coaches and build pathways to progress. Mentoring the coaches who work with us is important and we provide guidance and aim to encourage our coaches to undertake coaching badges and other qualifications to help their progression. The ZRF Founder deliver a number of coach education workshops at the ZRF partner hub in Stonebridge where we engaged over 30 coaches. The ZRF also collaborated with the Aston Villa Foundation, Birmingham County FA and the FA to deliver coach education for 45 coaches from the South Asian community.

Player Development:
The ZRF focuses on creating opportunities for players and developing the skills of existing players. Within this strand, we ensure to highlight opportunities for players to compete at all levels of the game and provide appropriate pathways. Community clubs and Players should also be able to access our support and guidance mechanisms and will benefit from building relationships with Zesh, ZRF staff, and other role models in the game. The ZRF mentors collaborated closely with the PFA on their Asian Inclusion Mentoring Scheme to provide advice, guidance and support to young elite South Asian players.

Public benefit
The ZRF activities have the following public benefit:
- Supporting those from minority groups to get into education and training, and developing their personal, social, and leadership skills.
- Supporting young people and adults to obtain employment across the football and sports industry.
- Engaging young people who are marginalised and giving them the opportunity and belief to fulfil their potential.
- Empowering young people and adults to play sport and learn about the benefits of living a healthy active lifestyle.
