Whitemoss Amateur Athletics Club SC042681 Trustees Report
The trustees submit their annual report and financial statements for the year to 31 August 2025.
All of the trustees named served throughout the year unless otherwise noted.
Structure, Governance and Management
The club’s governing document is the Constitution. The club is a registered charity (Charity No. SC042681). The principal office-bearers are elected each year at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Any casual vacancies during the year are filled by appointment by the Committee, and confirmed or otherwise by election at the next AGM.
Whitemoss Amateur Athletics Club (WAAC) was founded in 1990. The club has grown from this point and has evolved into a club that provides a progressive coaching structure that supports the development of athletes in line with the principles of Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD).
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Investments (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the terms of the charity's founding deed. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Objectives and Activities
The objectives of the club are to provide facilities for and promote participation of the whole community in the sport of athletics in the East Kilbride area, including Track and Field, Cross Country and Road Running.
Activities in relation to these objectives include:
The club provides opportunities for Track and Field, Road Running and Cross Country through the delivery of weekly coaching sessions at the East Kilbride Athletics Stadium. John Wright Sports Centre. Additionally, the club is actively involved in national and local competition programmes in order to support the continued development and enjoyment of athletes, coaches and officials. We promote active health for all through the provision of athletics activities for 7 year olds to adults.

Our reserves stand at £123,775 of which £73,665 is Restricted Funds.
Reserves Policy

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WHITEMOSS AMATEUR ATHLETICS CLUB (SC042681)
I report on the accounts of the charity for the period to 31 August 2025, which are set out on pages 5 to 10.
Respective responsibilities of committee and examiner
As described on page 2 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 an audit is not required for this year (under Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts (under section 44 (1) (c) of the Act) and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
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 seeks 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: 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 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations;
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
