| 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 minoritized 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. |

| Report of the Trustees |

| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Significant activities |
| Significant activities undertaken this year by the ZRF include the following: |
| Community Cohesion & Refugee Integration: |
| Zesh Rehman Foundation, with support from KC Southern FC launched a series of events to promote community cohesion and refugee integration through football in Hong Kong. With Zesh playing for the club in the Hong Kong Premier League this initiative uses the club facilities and Zesh's own coaching talents and profile to engage and support both minority groups resident in Hong Kong and recent Refugee arrivals through coaching, personal development, and social action within the community. |
| Tournaments, events, and engagement with Zesh through question and answer and mentoring sessions are delivered to build relationships between communities, build a greater understanding of cultural differences and use football as a common ground for discussion and recreation. Volunteers within the community are also trained to deliver their coaching and leadership skills. |
| The programme also offers community groups the chance to attend KC Southern games and training facilities, ensure the club is embedded as a driver of community development within its local area - with flags from many nations now visible at its matches. |
| Coach Education: |
| Our coach education & mentoring programme is specifically designed to increase the number of British Asian coaches who could act as role models and help develop provisions in predominantly Asian communities. The programme (Sidelined-to-Sidelines), previously funded by the Professional Footballers' Association & the Premier League, aims to increase the number of young people from minority communities accessing high quality football coaching, inspire others to get involved as volunteer coaches at the grass roots level and provide pathways into the professional game. |
| Based on a high-quality training provision, our coach education and mentoring programme has helped coaches find employment within Club Community Organisations as well as at all levels of the professional game. Two of our Sidelined-to-Sidelines alumni are working full-time at Palace for Life Foundation and specifically deliver on work with the Asian community of Croydon. |
| Throughout the lock-down period we also facilitated several online webinars and workshops for our coaching alumni who had the opportunity to listen to and learn from highly respectable coaches and managers from the professional game including John Morling (Academy Manager, Brighton & Hove Albion FC), Kalam Mooniaruck (Head of Coaching, West Ham United FC), George Boateng (U23 Assistant Coach, Aston Villa FC), Zesh Rehman and Emile Heskey (Ambassador, Leicester City FC). |
| Croydon Multi Sport sessions: |
| Provided a weekly community sports and youth development programme for young people aged 9 - 21 across the Croydon area (based at Selhurst Astro Arena). Sessions were inclusive, open to all and free of charge. |
| ZRF has been building partnerships with stakeholders such as, local colleges, PRUs, Youth Offending Teams, police, local mosques, and professional and grassroots sports clubs in this area over the last few (5) years. Our relationship with young people and local partners has informed the design and delivery of this project. |
| Young people were engaged through our peer network of young coaches developed through our previous youth programmes, through outreach sessions in the community, through our partners Palace for Life Foundation and through online social media platforms. |
| Our coaches developed relationships with young people to learn more about their talents and motivations. Those who showed an ambition to further their development, were offered a more formal programme of education and personal development workshops including FA Talent ID Level 1, accredited FA coaching qualifications, Level 2 Cricket coach, Level 1 in Basketball coach and Level 2 in Judo. |

| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2021 |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Young people who excelled were also selected and invited to be part of the PFA's Asian Inclusion Mentoring Scheme, helping them to gain coaching experience working with elite Asian football players at sessions in London (Brent) and the Midlands (St Georges Park). We have continually supported our volunteers and encourage their involvement on community-based tournaments and sessions at grassroots sports clubs, which will in turn encourage peers and the wider community to take up sport and get involved. |
| Public benefit |
| The ZRF activities have the following public benefit: |
| - Supporting those from minoritized 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. |
| Volunteers |
| ZRF has several volunteers working across all its community programmes. All volunteers are recruited in line with the ZRF Volunteer Policy that sets out the recruitment and selection process, training, development and support, insurance, confidentiality, rights, and responsibilities. |
| ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
| Charitable activities |
| There has been a reduction in charitable activities due to lack of funding available. |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| Principal funding sources |
| The finances of the ZRF have been drawn from a number of grant giving agencies over the past year either through direct applications or as part of a wider consortium. In operating a 'mixed economy' approach we avoid being overly reliant on one funder or funding stream. The key funders this year have included: |
| - Sport England |
| - Sporting Equals |
| - Professional Footballers Association |
| Investment policy and objectives |
| The ZRF invests in the development of its objectives. |
| Reserves policy |
| ZRF seeks to retain sufficient reserves to ensure that it can meet all its charitable objectives. Reserves are carried forward to the following year and applied in the following years activities. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| Further developments include expanding our coach education provisions and providing Talent ID Level 2 qualifications to our cohort of coaches. We will also be working with the Professional Footballers' Association and a cluster of professional football clubs to support talent ID says for young children from South Asian communities. |
| STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
| Governing document |
| 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. |
