How Beyond the Ball is Structured

Beyond the Ball operates through two connected organisations:

Beyond the Ball CIC (Community Interest Company)

• This is our social impact arm, focused on delivering community programmes that improve access, wellbeing, and inclusion in football.

• The CIC is asset-locked, which means all funds are reinvested into our community programmes and cannot be taken out for private profit.

• This is the entity we use to deliver projects supported by grants, public funding, and community partners.

​

Beyond the Ball Ltd

• This is our trading arm, which provides services such as coach education, workshops, consultancy, and commercial partnerships.

• Any profit made by the Ltd can be donated to the CIC to support its community programmes.

• This helps us stay sustainable — combining grant funding with commercial income so we can reach more people.

​

Why We Use This Model

This structure allows us to:

• Keep community impact at the heart of everything we do.

• Access grant funding and deliver programmes through the CIC.

• Generate commercial income through the Ltd, which strengthens our financial sustainability.

• Be fully transparent with funders, partners, and participants about how we operate.

Commercial Work (Ltd) → Profits → CIC → Community Programmes

Grants & Donations → CIC → Community Programmes
