Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year:
The playing field maintenance continues to be successful, with the condition of the grass surface improving every year. This is due to the fertilizing, vertidraining and weed killing by the Shetland Islands Council Playing Field Maintenance staff, along with the attention of our part time groundsman, this ensures the playing field is maintained to a good standard for the local football club. This encourages them to maintain teams, in the Parish Cup, Reserve B League and Shetland ‘s Premier A League.
The clubrooms are used by the Whitedale Youth Club and this encourages Youth development for both Primary and Secondary school age pupils. The Youth Club is run by the Shetland Islands Council, and use the premises one night per week. The clubhouse is also hired out for general use to the public.

The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland} Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention Basis of independent examiner's statement Independent examiner's statement which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance wilh section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
