Halkirk Community Sports Foundation (Registered number: SC286036)
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025. 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
Objectives and aims
The principal objective of the company in the year under review was that of the development of sporting and leisure facilities in the Halkirk District Community Council area.
Significant activities
Hires of Morrison Park continue (used for training and matches by Halkirk United FC) together with other one-off hires. The maintenance of the pitch is now carried out by volunteers rather than contractors due to the higher costs involved by using external contractors.
HCSF have donated a small piece of land at Morrison Park to the Northern Pilgrims Way on which they plan to erect a replica of the historic Skinnet Stone. They plan to landscape the area along with seating and information boards. HCSF were delighted to be able to contribute in this way something which will further add to the visitor experience of Halkirk Village.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The reserve balance represents the unrestricted fund surplus arising from past operating results.
The directors consider the financial status of the company to be in a satisfactory state with funds raised being invested in a bank deposit account earning interest producing additional revenue so increasing the company's reserves available for the development of the sporting and leisure facilities.
FUTURE PLANS
Halkirk Community Sports Foundation took the decision back in 2021 to review the previous plans for the changing facility at Morrison Park. The directors had agreed to look at drawing up and costing a changing facility with associated gymnasium (membership required) to include an upper floor; public gymnasium (membership required), security and use of green energy. Whilst the development has not progressed significantly to date, this remains a firm objective for HCSF. This is now on hold due to another community project being discussed which could result in a joint project being developed.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The company was incorporated on 10 June 2005 and is limited by guarantee, having no share capital, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The company has been recognised by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator as a charity under the Scottish Charity number SC037033.
Each member of the company has undertaken to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards any deficit arising in the event of Halkirk Community Sports Foundation being placed in liquidation.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The directors, as the trustees are known, during the year of review are listed below.
One third of the directors retire in rotation annually but may be re-appointed for a further period of three years provided that no director shall serve continuously for a period of more than six years without there being a period of not less than one year when that person does not act as a director.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Halkirk Community Sports Foundation (Registered number: SC286036)
I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025 set out on pages four to eleven.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) 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.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was 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 seeking explanations from you as 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 view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with 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 to comply with Regulation 8 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
INCOME
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
EXPENDITURE
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery
- 20% straight line
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
Land and buildings comprise the construction costs and professional fees in connection with the property development. No depreciation is provided while the assets are in the course of construction.
IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of financial activities.
TAXATION
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
FUND ACCOUNTING
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
