TREASURER’S REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2025
Last year we had a deficit of £2551. This we have a deficit of £2610 but despite the deficit the bank balance looks solid.
The predominant funding and expenses are the youth section. Cashback funding for the Castlebrae High School is in its second year of a 3 year cycle. We receive School of Rugby funding for Liberton High School.
Subscriptions have improved and up from £6,238 to £6,311. 200 club continues to be successful, albeit slightly lower than last year with £2,487.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025, which are set out on pages 3 to 8.
Respective responsibilities of Management Committee and Examiner
The Management Committee of the Club is responsible for the preparation of the financial statement in accordance with the constitution of the Club. The accounts should be subject to external scrutiny in line with the relevant requirements of legislation.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the club and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeks explanations from the Management Committee 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 financial statements.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and
-
(ii) to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations;
-
Have not been met or
-
(b} to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Youth
Lismore RFC support the delivery of Rugby in local High Schools, Liberton and Castlebrae. We employ a full time Development Officer to support the delivery.
The neighbourhood covers the wards of Craigmillar, Moredun, Gilmerton, Inch, Liberton, Gracemount, Burdiehouse and Duddingston.
Within the South Edinburgh area there are 10 wards which feature in the Scottish Executive Index of Multi Deprivation Index 'worst' 500. These wards contain health risks much higher than the average for Scotland.
Liberton High School is 6[th ] on the SID scale and Castlebrae has the highest SID rating in Edinburgh.
Adult Teams
Lismore RFC Women’s team played in the East/Midlands league One.
Lismore RFC Men’s team played in East regional League 3
We have continued to host Queen Margaret University Women’s and Men’s teams, and this has proved fruitful in supplying players to our adult teams.
