Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period |
DUSC have mainly provided a football service to 22-24 Teams over the year, this includes providing opportunities for children and adults, male and female to play sport. We deliver to around 700 children per week and have 102 volunteers delivering these sessions. We have recruited an additional 20 volunteers to continue to grow the club and meet the community needs. We have also successfully recruited additional employees and now have 8 members of staff working on community initiatives. We continue to work closely with SFA, Craigie High School, Rowantree Primary School, Leisure and Culture Dundee, East Youth Team, Rocksolid and Dundee & Angus College to develop young volunteers to become young coaches in the club and in the local community. |

Financial review
| Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any deficit Donated facilities and services (if any) |
We have been accruing funds over a number of years to accommodate the employment of a few posts and future posts at the club to cope with its growth. The club continues to look at maintaining a small general (unrestricted) reserve to act as a cushion against unexpected or emergency costs, the growth in the club and the more community services we provide without any income. |
|---|---|
| DUSC had a small deficit this year £8,981. This was due to a slight change in the way Extra time funding was being allocated, changed to quarterly in arrears. |
|
| DUSC is grateful for the continued support from Craigie Community Sports Hub for accessing their facilities to train and operate our services. We are also grateful for the continued support from Scottish Football Association, Scottish Government, Leisure and Culture Dundee, Craigie High School, Rowantree Primary School and St Pius RC Primary School |

Nature and purpose of funds

The restricted Fund is currently for Full time and Part Time Posts at the club to develop more community based actvities and deliver a school of Football program at Rowantree Primary School and an extra time program (piloted by Scottish Government), in conjunction with SFA.

he charis trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance
the tertTLS of the Charities and Tntee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the
Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees
consider that the autht requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations
does not apply. It is my responsibrfty to examine the accounts as rewffed Lmder section
44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of indepen
My examinali(hn is carried out in acC(thnce 1h Rylation 11 of the 20( Ac¢(wnts
examiner's ststement Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the
charity and a comparison of the accounts presented th 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 w(yuld be required in an au(fft and,
consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than that
disclosed on the attached page"]
Independent examiner's
ststement,
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 wth the accounting records and compty th
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
tanding of the accounts to be reached.
