Trustees Annual Report for year ended 30° April 2025
Structure Governance and Management
The Charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO).It was registered in its current legal form on 5th May 2015 having previously been an unincorporated organisation.
Appointment of Trustees
The management committee which normally meets once a month are the charity's trustees. Membership of the management committee is open to all parents and guardians of the club. Trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting. There must be a minimum of four and a maximum of seven trustees.
Objectives and Activities
Charitable Purposes
The primary objectives and activities of Dryburgh Athletic Community Club SCIO is to advance public participation in sport through the provision of facilities, coaching training and opportunities initially and primarily through football.
Activities
The club provides our members with the opportunity to develop themselves both through teaching the skills required to participate in sport, fitness awareness and behaviour conformance. We believe that being a member of our club not only improves their ability to play football but that interacting with children of the same age also enhances their social skills.
Our younger members improve through training sessions at least once per week and, dependent upon age, an organised game or festival participation at weekends. These midweek training sessions are held outdoor in the summer months but move to indoor or all weather facilities in winter.
We also encourage our volunteers to improve with the club providing a pathway to education related to sport. We regularly enlist our members in coach education, first aid or admin courses and workshops should they be required.
Financial Review
Our main source of funding continues to be the members’ fees and donations, which were £110,056 this year. (£97,996 last year). We increased fees again slightly this year to compensate for rising costs which accounts for this year on year increase. This continues to be a difficult decision as we always want to maintain an affordable price structure, in turn allowing as many players as possible to join the group. Based on year end timings, there was a reduction in Donations/Sponsorships income - £53,145 (£71,467 year). There is actually an increase in sponsorship but a lot of this income was captured within last year’s accounts. This covers both the boys and girls teams and encouraging as many local business as possible to get involved with teams at all levels. The club continues to participate in several high value events this year (eg, Cash For Kids) and this structured approach yielded great benefits. Ultimately, this is re-invested into the club by way of additional branded training/match kits, improved training facilities and more tournament/event participation.
As you would expect, our main expenditures are pitch hire, clothing and football equipment. The one material change year in year is the costs for coaching and event participation. As mentioned in the Income summary, any fundraising done by the teams can be spent on events, tournaments etc....hence the year on year increase.
Dryburgh Athletic closed the year with a cash position of £11,574, an increase of exactly £6,000 versus the previous year. The club will continue to re-invest any surplus cash on kit, facilities and equipment across the range of teams and has no intention of generating any profits..
Future Activities
The continued development of the “One Dryburgh” theme is working with the committee continuing to harmonise the way the teams are run regardless of age or gender.
As noted in previous years, we are continuing to look at how we develop the facilities available to us and try to create a home for the club. Currently, we are investigating several opportunities but all options are medium/long term project.
