## **West Lothian Community Table Tennis Club** ## **Trustees Report - 2024** ## **Charitable Objectives of WLCTTC** - To advance the public participation in table tennis in West Lothian for all ages. - To advance community development through working with a range of local organisations. - To encourage different groups to collaborate and maximise the involvement of local people in table tennis. ## **Summary Reflection** ## **Core Activities** The club continued to deliver its core objectives in providing a safe, accessible and quality space for members to enjoy table tennis as part of their membership. Sessions were regularly held on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. These provided opportunities for social interaction, exercise, and practice for competitive play. Through these sessions, we also hosted away clubs from Edinburgh and the Lothians. The club organised and successfully completed two competitive in-house club competitions. We held our annual AGM to present trophies, give key updates, and allow members to contribute to discussions. The club continued its long-standing participation in the Edinburgh and Lothians Table Tennis League, showing a healthy group of competitive players with many new members playing in the league for the first time. The club also continued to open our “Pop In and Play” venue for an average of six days per week throughout 2024, allowing anyone to play for free with no restrictions. This brought significant benefits to the wellbeing of community members and was only possible thanks to the handful of dedicated volunteers opening the venue each day. ## **Finances** The trustees continued to operate with financial diligence and highlighted examples of this during the AGM that reflected on 2024. The surplus grew considerably in 2024 due to several factors: - A 15% growth in memberships. - Our usual venue being closed for longer periods of time, saving money on rental costs. - Continued donations from the public via the ‘Pop In and Play’ venue. ## **Development Officer** For the first time, the club was able to appoint a development officer thanks to Direct Club Funding from sportscotland. Our development officer was announced in the middle of 2024, allowing us to focus on community engagement and improving the quality of table tennis within the club. This led to a slight growth in memberships and improved retention of current players. At the same time, our development officer was building networks within the community, including with the West Lothian Active Schools Co-ordinator and staff from Table Tennis Scotland. The remainder of 2024 allowed our development officer to settle further into the club and begin to understand the needs of our community. ## **Charitable Activities** The club donated two tables to East Calder Church and Kirknewton Parish Church. We also hosted free sessions for local groups such as Cubs and Scouts in our ‘Pop In and Play’ venue. The daily opening of this venue was one of the main ways we interacted with our wider community. The club also continued to make its equipment available to Scottish Veterans Table Tennis as well as Edinburgh and Lothian Table Tennis to support the delivery of their tournaments. Given the shortage of large venues – particularly following the closure of the Bell Centre in Perth – this assistance has been of significant value to the wider table tennis community in Scotland and has helped to sustain and encourage participation in the sport. ## **Forward Look** Looking ahead to 2025, the trustees will continue to provide opportunities for both recreational and competitive players to enjoy table tennis. We will also look to sustain our volunteer base, support our development officer to grow community participation, and maintain financial stability. This report was approved by the trustees on 25/09/2025.

This payment was incorrectly deducted from unrestricted funds instead of restricted funds. The change made in these 2024 accounts reflects this correction, essentially adding £6,172 to unrestricted funds and deducting it from restricted. The trustees have confirmed that this payment of £6,172 in 2022 could be covered within the Direct Club Funding the restricted funds relate to. / Notes 3 December 2007 APPENtILX2 l Notes De￿rnber 2(M)7 APPENDIX 2 **West Lothian Community Table Tennis Club** **SC046221** ## **Additional analysis (1)** ## **Analysis of receipts and payments** ## **1 Donations** |**1 Donations**|**1 Donations**||||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||**Unrestricted**
