The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| UK Wallball exists to: |
| o | Advance the amateur sport of wallball in England and Wales for the public benefit by the provision of and assistance in the provision of facilities for participation in the sport of wallball. |
| o | Advance the physical education of young people in England and Wales by assisting in the provision of facilities for playing and learning wallball in schools, youth clubs, and universities. |
| These aims are met through national and local projects that deliver coaching, facilities, competitions, and community engagement. |
| The trustees confirm they have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. |
| ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
| UK Wallball became a charity |
| On the 14th August 2023 the UK Wallball Association Ltd became a charitable company, registering with the Charity Commission with the charity number: 1204333. |
| Jack Petchey Foundation Project |
| 2023-24 marked the fifth year of our flagship Jack Petchey Foundation (JPF) programme, reaching over 10,000 young people across 45 sites. Despite natural attrition, we sustained 40 legacy sites and launched 7 new ones (6 schools and 1 youth club). |
| Highlights include: |
| o | 10,018 young people engaged, including high BAME (58%) and female (43%) participation. |
| o | 230 coaching sessions delivered and 25 new staff trained. |
| o | Expansion into new regions including Birmingham and Berkshire. |
| o | Powerful case studies from schools like Forest Gate, where pupils have progressed to the Junior GB team and competed internationally. |
| The JPF 1-Wall Showdown returned as a standout event alongside 9 internal school tournaments, the UK Open, and the European Juniors, where two UK Wallball participants won medals. |
| Events and High Performance |
| We once again hosted the UK Open, a major stop on the World 1-Wall Tour. UK Wallball's high-performance programme continues to grow, with Luke Thomson, current European No.1, leading the men's team and several juniors medalling at the European Championships. |
| We also ran our first small placemaking pop-up in Fleet Street Quarter as part of the area's Summer of Sport. This raised the visibility of our organisation, allowed hundreds of adults to see and try the sport and attained national media coverage. |

| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 |

| o | £80,031 in restricted funds from the Jack Petchey Foundation |
| o | Additional income from tournaments, school launch packages, and individual donations, including through our new GoFundMe campaigns. |
| Expenditure was focused on programme delivery, coaching, equipment, and travel for young players. UK Wallball maintains a cautious reserves policy and continues to seek diversified income streams to support future growth. |
| STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
| The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. |
| UK Wallball is led by a voluntary trustee board, with operational support from a small delivery team. The year saw the appointment of three new trustees: Maryline Esteves (Jan 2024), Matthew Davies (Apr 2024), and Clive Sanford (May 2024), strengthening our expertise in placemaking, governance, and finance. |
| Freelance coaches and delivery partners (including Changing Lives in Essex) helped ensure high-quality local impact. |
| PUBLIC BENEFIT |
| Wallball is uniquely simple, inclusive, and low-cost - requiring only a wall and a ball. Our programmes offer: |
| o | Physical and mental health benefits from high-intensity, social activity. |
| o | Improved urban spaces, particularly in areas with limited access to green fields or expensive sports facilities. |
| o | Opportunities for youth from underrepresented communities to engage in international pathways. |
| We prioritise delivery in deprived, urban settings, helping create healthier, more connected, and more hopeful communities. |
| PLANS FOR THE FUTURE |
| Looking ahead to 2024-25, UK Wallball will: |
| o | Recruit new trustees, with a focus on finance and understanding the youth and community space. |
| o | Continue to develop our Jack Petchey programme and expand to new regions. |
| o | Launch a refreshed brand identity, supporting visibility and community pride. |
| o | Seek additional core funding to support staff growth and strategic delivery. |
| o | Deliver the Wales programme supported by the Morrel Trust. |
