STREET FOOTBALL WALES (SFW)
SFW is a social inclusion project currently run in Wales made up of people aged 16 and above facing social exclusion through homelessness, substance misuse, mental ill health or cultural issues. All are facing daily barriers to be part involved in society and communities they live in, caused by the ever present stigma attached to their situations.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity operated at a deficit during the year due to reduced historic grant funding and the recognition of previously unprovided pension liabilities. Unrestricted reserves were very low at year-end, though the trustees confirmed the charity has sufficient funding to continue operating and has implemented measures to strengthen financial resilience. The charity does not hold any investments other than cash on deposit.
