## **GLASGOW CITY FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and "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)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The specific objectives of the charity as set out in its governing document are: 

- to advance health and wellbeing amongst girls and women 

- to advance public participation of girls and women in football 

- to advance education, learning and employability for girls and women 

- to promote equality and diversity 

- to provide recreational facilities, or to organise recreational activities, for community participation 

- the giving of grants or other forms of assistance to persons undertaking projects, initiatives and/or activities that further the above. 

The above encompass our overall mission to champion Women and Girls by using the power of football and sport to promote physical and mental health and well-being, active citizenship and inclusion within our community and places of interest. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **Glasgow City Academy** 

## Academy Restructure 

In late 2024 the Board of Trustees of the Glasgow City Foundation conducted a lengthy and considered review of the Academy structure within the Foundation and the best way to utilise our funds. Several factors influenced this review: the number of providers of girls and women’s football has increased considerably since our founding: the Academy had been running at a considerable financial loss each year with the shortfall funded by a significant charitable donation; the introduction of the SFA NextGen Performance Programme in 2024 and the significant costs associated with this initiative. 

The decision was made to reduce the number of Academy teams and refocus priorities in accordance with Foundation aims to ensure that we can operate the full football pathway to the highest possible level; alongside providing access and opportunities to young girls. 

## Strip Sponsorship 

Holyrood Asset Management continued their strip sponsorship for all our Academy teams in 2024. 

## Sport Science Support 

A program of sports science support for all Academy teams was delivered by Athlete Focused (AF). Ageappropriate support includes fitness testing (profiling), nutrition and psychology. Our Next Gen teams had in person meetings which covered psychology, nutrition, strength and conditioning and female athlete advice.

## **GLASGOW CITY FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

## The Football Base Partnership 

The Football Base partnership was introduced to the Academy in 2022. It is a highly developed online resource platform to help coaches plan, implement and evaluate football coaching sessions. In 2024 the curriculum was implemented by the coaches in the Junior Academy. 

## School Holiday Football Camps 

The Foundation hosted three football camps for girls at our Academy training base at Glasgow Hutchesons' Aloysians’ Rugby Ground, during the Easter, Summer and October school holidays. Each camp had between 30-40 girls attending each event. Camps were led by Academy coaches who provided both fun and competitive football for girls between the ages of 5 and 14. In addition, a free summer camp was offered which was made possible by a grant from Scottish Gas which was matched by donations from individuals. 

## Mindfulness Project/Sports Psychology Workshops 

The mindfulness project was designed to develop levels of psychological flexibility among Academy players and was rolled out to four teams. The programme, delivered in three sessions, provided players with the skills to allow them to be able to adapt to life challenges, while staying focussed on what truly matters. 

Following the success of our mindfulness sessions with our own Academy we expanded this project to local women’s football teams who would otherwise not benefit from this level of expertise and assistance within their own clubs. These sessions were delivered to Motherwell FC Women, Rossvale FC Women and Queens Park FC Women to enable the mental growth and development of the female players at their clubs. 

In total three sessions were provided to each club, either at the club’s own premises or those of Glasgow City if easier, working on such areas as ‘Using your Values’, ‘Getting Comfortable Being Uncomfortable’ and ‘Committing to Action’. 

## Malawi 

The Foundation continued to support the Active Schools Glasgow initiative to send old training kits and match day strips to schools in Malawi. Another shipment of kits was sent to Malawi in 2024. We receive regular updates, via social media, showing young boys and girls wearing Glasgow City Academy kits in their PE lessons. 

## Access to Glasgow City Football Club 

Thanks to the close relationship between the Foundation and Glasgow City Football Club, the charity was able to provide a large number of opportunities for the community to engage with one of the top women’s football teams in Scotland at no cost. This included the provision of over 200 opportunities for children to be flag bearers and ball girls at Glasgow City FC Scottish Women Premier League matches, along with access tickets to the wider local community. In total the Foundation supported the distribution of over 2000 tickets, with over a quarter of those targeted at the LGBTQI+ community, fostering inclusion and diversity. 

## **Community Activities** 

## Glasgow City Schools Project 

There are limited opportunities for young girls to play football in the north of Glasgow. In partnership with Barclays, Active Schools Glasgow and Glasgow Life; Glasgow City Foundation helped deliver a number of free football programmes for girls (P3 – P7). The programme, delivered weekly sessions in 8-week blocks, was led by Glasgow City Academy coaches to four primary schools in the Springburn area.

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

## Network Rail 

In 2024 the Foundation re-launched our partnership with the Scottish FA and Network Rail to promote rail safety. Vital rail safety messages were delivered to all Academy players. These messages were also promoted through our various social media channels. This partnership will continue until December 2025. 

## **Financial review** 

The Trustees are satisfied with the financial position of the charity and its ability to meet its ongoing commitments, after taking into account the financial risks and uncertainties detailed below. 

During the year, the charity received £326,437 (2023: £440,176) and incurred expenditure totalling £432,251 (2023: £456,500). 

## _Reserves policy_ 

It is the aim of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three- and six-month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves should be maintained throughout the year. 

At the year end, the charity held free reserves of £54,660 (2023: £150,744) which amounts to two months expenditure and will therefore review areas where funding might be improved. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

## SFA NextGen Performance Programme 

Glasgow City Academy currently has U13s, U15s, U17s NextGen (Category 1 League Competition) squads for our most talented players in all three age categories. There are significant costs associated with this initiative and the Trustees will closely monitor developments in 2025 to make sure that there are sufficient funds to adapt to the changing football landscape in Scotland. 

## Academy Restructure 

Trustees will monitor the operation of the Academy restructure and will review again at the end of the 2025 season. 

## Legal Changes 

Glasgow City Foundation will be vigilant to ensure it is fully compliant with the changes brought about by the commencement of the Charities (Regulation and Administration) (Scotland) Act 2023 and the changes Disclosure Scotland will make to its services in 2025.

## **GLASGOW CITY FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

## _1.1 Accounting convention_ 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's constitution, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended), FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## _1.2 Going concern_ 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## _1.3 Charitable funds_ 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## _1.4 Income_ 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

## _1.5 Expenditure_ 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

## **GLASGOW CITY FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **1. Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## _1.6 Tangible fixed assets_ 

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.  All purchases that are expected to provide benefit to the charity for a period exceeding 12 months will be considered for capitalisation, subject to materiality thresholds. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Plant and equipment: 25% Straight Line Computers: 25% Straight Line 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

## _1.7 Impairment of fixed assets_ 

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

## _1.8 Financial instruments_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _1.9 Retirement benefits_ 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
