ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The period from September 2024 to August 2025 saw us able to significantly add to our mainstay groups and activities and offer more opportunities for children, vulnerable groups, and environmental improvement. In the past 12 months we have directly supported and engaged with over 285 individuals, many of whom engaged with us multiple times. Our ongoing 'in the moment' evaluation, continues to demonstrate that our activities ensure people have improved emotional wellbeing, confidence, and strength in their relationships with others. People continue to make new friendships and find that their engagement with our activities provides ongoing and much needed respite from caring for relatives with learning difficulties or dementia. People find huge support from their fellow participants when life events impact upon them and they say that they find great strength and comfort which supports them to face their challenges.
In addition, we donated £1,000 to Albion Rovers Football Club to help make football more affordable for local families by providing a hot drink and a snack at the first home game in January 2025.
Two of our Trustees took part in an interview on local Shire Radio where the purpose and activities of the Community Trust were explained and promoted.
The Community Trust has registered with North Lanarkshire Council Community and Voluntary Sector (CVS) Registration Scheme.
Our activity in this reporting period is detailed below:
Football Activity
School Programmes (Additional Support Needs)
This project included weekly coaching sessions at two primary schools with over 60 young children with additional support needs participating in a variety of fun and developmental football related activities. Feedback from teachers, parents, and guardians, and most importantly, the participants themselves, highlights the importance of this programme and reinforces the need for regular physical exercise for children who live with additional support needs.
School Programmes (Mainstream)
This project included weekly coaching sessions at two primary schools with over 60 children participating in a variety of fun and developmental football related activities. Feedback from teachers, parents, and guardians, and most importantly, the participants themselves, highlights the importance of this programme and reinforces the need for regular physical exercise for children who live in our catchment area.
Holiday Programmes
Our summer holiday football programmes were a great success with over 500 bookings for children aged 5-14 years old. Fun, friendship, and football were the themes of the camps and participants were put through their paces by qualified and professional coaches. Attendees also had the chance to be ball attendants at Albion Rovers FC first team games. These holiday courses remain one of our core income streams and popular activities. This year, with funding from NLC, one week of the holiday programme was targeted at children of Ukrainian families living in our area. We were aware that this was a real need and local families really welcome and value their inclusion.
In addition, we were also able to run and offset costs for other camp weeks with the support of the SFA Cashback funds.
Walking Football
The ever-popular Walking Football group ran in three blocks throughout the summer months and attracted 17 participants weekly. Providing lovers of the beautiful game with the opportunity to play at a slower and more age and stage related pace, attendees enjoyed the social aspect of football as well as light to moderate physical activity.
King's Trust LEAP Programme
The Trust continue to have excellent relationships with the King's Trust, and we were invited to deliver the LEAP Programme in partnership with them in both January and June 2025. The LEAP programme is an employability programme aimed at potential school leavers and is designed to support them as they prepare for the world of work, apprenticeship schemes and so on. The programme is also focused on building self-confidence, CV development skills and team working skills.
The King's Trust take the lead in engaging with local schools to recruit young people to the programme.

Albion Rovers Community Trust
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
The programmes had a total of 11 young people from 4 schools attend. In the June 2025 programme, due to various issues, 4 young people finally participated. The programmes include a range of activities including sports coaching, online SFA courses including mental health and well-being and personal development. External providers also delivered health and safety and first aid courses, the latter including 'CPR'. The First Aid trainer had themselves been supported by the then, Princes Trust, to set up his business and both they and their story are a powerful demonstration of the impact of the King's Trust.
Every participant gained 4 certificates from the SFA, SPR Training, Albion Rovers Community Trust and the King's Trust. These were presented at a Celebration Event by the Chairman of the Community Trust and a senior Representative from the King's Trust. The participants were supported to invite their Head Teachers to attend the celebration event, all of whom were delighted with the outcomes of the programme and the very positive impact on the young people.
The Trust received £8,200 to help deliver the LEAP Programme and following its successful delivery, the King's Trust have invited us to run the programme again in February 2026. This is a programme which the Community Trust are delighted to continue to support.
Community Activity
Buddies
This was the first group organised by Rovers in the Community and was established in January 2016. The group consists of 12 to 14 men with an age range from early 20s to early 60s who have a range of physical, learning, and emotional support needs. Many of the group are clients of Key Housing. They meet most Monday mornings where they socialise and carry out simple maintenance duties. The group is responsible for their own governance, safeguarding and financial arrangements but the Trust makes significant contributions to support their activities. In addition, and with support, they co-organise trips and activities. These have included: adoption of a local railway station, trips to various seaside towns and activities at a local bowling club and golf driving range.
Men's Shed
Men's Shed continues to grow and attracts new members to the group on a weekly basis. Between 10-14 'Shedders' meet at their facility within Cliftonhill Stadium on Wednesday and Friday mornings where they recycle and upcycle scrap materials and produce some garden furniture and decorative features. Tackling social isolation and poor mental health, Men's Shed continues to be a safe, inclusive, and welcoming place for some of Coatbridge's most vulnerable and hard-to-reach men. The group is responsible for their own governance, safeguarding and financial arrangements but the Trust makes significant contributions to support their activities.
Wednesday Walkers
Attracting between 20-35 participants on a weekly basis, the Wednesday walking group continues to provide people aged 50-80 years old with the opportunity to participate in light to moderate regular exercise, whilst enjoying the benefits of socialising and feeling part of something special and meaningful. We set out in our 2023/24 report that we had moved the group to operate from Dunbeth Bowling Club in Coatbridge. This has proven to be a hugely successful move with the group continuing to increase its participant numbers. The improved accessibility at the Bowling Club has enabled participants to continue to be part of the social aspects of the walkers and to maintain their sense of belonging. The group are now walking 'as one' in the park and this has truly enhanced the group's cohesion. The Bowling Club are also receiving income for our use of their premises and therefore, the Trust is supporting the local community to have ongoing access to a sporting activity.
In December 2024, on the last walking group of 2024, ahead of the festive holiday break, we held a Christmas tea with a game of 'Irish bingo' and a raffle. This was hugely successful and we plan to have the event again in December 2025. In addition, in August 2025, the group enjoyed another day out at New Lanark where they walked for 30 minutes followed by a lovely afternoon meal. The day out was partly funded by NLC Community Grant and was greatly enjoyed by all in attendance.

Football Memories
Meeting on the third Friday of each month, the memories group continues to attract a loyal group of around 16 die-hard Albion Rovers supporters who are aged 40-80 years old and have signs of early stages of memory loss, other health condition or are carers for another. This group continues to be successful, and our volunteers continue to attract former players and managers to attend to share their memories, stimulate discussion and making the event 'feel' like football. The sessions are divided into two 45-minute chats with pie and Bovril served at 'half-time'.
Thursday Club
The Trust's hardy band of loyal volunteers continue to meet every Thursday. The membership is around 8 who are all retired and have had skilled jobs. The group is very successful as the participants get to use their plumbing, electrical, joinery skills in real settings and this adds to their self-worth as well as creating a network of friendships. Having swept the stands, painted the terracing, and whatever else needs done to keep Cliftonhill safe, clean, and operational. Putting back into the club they love, attendees sit down for a lunchtime tea or coffee and have the chance to socialize and enjoy the company of other Rover's supporters, whilst feeling valued, stimulated and part of something meaningful.
Christmas Cheer
Due to the relegation of Albion Rovers Football Club, SPFL funding ceased but we were able to continue this work through donations and were able to deliver 20 Christmas hampers. We again made a conscious decision that the hampers were to be filled with special 'luxury' items such as Christmas cake, chocolate, quality tinned meat/fish etc and not a food parcel. We also included a Christmas card and gift voucher. The recipients had been recommended by local churches, local elected representatives, the fans forum, and our own Trust contacts. The hampers have been very well received and there was positive feedback about the initiative.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Funding and Fundraising
We organised and ran a successful festive fundraising raffle through Just Giving but also physical sales at events. The entire contents of the hamper and other prizes are donated by Albion Rovers Football fans. We raised £1,400 and donated to Cancer Research in memory of a stalwart volunteer we lost in 2024. Our volunteers are to be recognised and celebrated for donating both the hamper items and other prizes and promoting online sales.
Due to our reputation gained by participants' endorsements, our widening social media profile, and skilled bidding for grants, we were successful in attracting funding from the Postcode Lottery, North Lanarkshire Council and SFA. Among other benefits, this allowed us to reduce charges for classes and allow us to offer several 'sponsored' (free) places to schools to send children to our kids' football holiday camps to youngsters from financially challenged families.
Reserves policy
It is the policy 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 months 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 has been maintained throughout the year.
FUTURE PLANS
-
To finalise the evaluation of the tests of change in relation to the Community Development Officer role - Continue to source external funding streams and opportunities to maintain and develop workstreams
-
Continue to develop work with local schools
-
Develop partnership with other local agencies to work collaboratively in the field of mental health and mitigating against the cost-of-living crisis.
-
Continue to evaluate the social impact of all programmes in tackling social isolation, poverty, and health and well-being.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Trustees are chosen from the membership of the organisation and have a variety of skills which can be utilised by the charity in furtherance of its objectives. Board members can be appointed at the AGM. At each AGM, a chair, secretary and treasurer are appointed as per OSCR regulations.
Organisational structure
The charity is an SCIO, as recognised by OSCR. Trustees are chosen from the membership of the organisation and have a variety of skills which can be utilised by the charity in furtherance of its objectives. Board members can be appointed at the AGM. At each AGM, a chair, secretary, and treasurer are appointed as per OSCR regulations.
Following the successful work in reaching an understanding with other organisations operating under the Albion Rovers brand, we are delighted to continue to have good strong links with Albion Rovers Supporters Trust, Coatbridge Men's Shed and Albion Rovers Buddies. We have continued through 2024/25 to take forward programmes which tackle social isolation, poverty and which seek to improve health and well-being. We have continued to be mindful of the continuing impact of cost-of-living pressures on our local population in our planning, development and delivery of activities.
The Community Trust recognise the importance of collecting the narrative together with hard data. We continue to gather information from the participants in our activities through 'real time' and 'in the moment' conversations. This approach enables us to take a 'you said, we did' approach to ensuring that the activities continue to meet the needs of our participants.
The development in 2023/24 of the volunteer led café as part of the Wednesday Walkers group has continued to go from strength to strength. The sense of ownership that the participants have is now embedded within the group and in the 2025/26 programme, it is intended to use the walking group participants as a 'test of change' cohort for the delivery of a volunteer skills course. The purpose is to encourage the participants to engage in additional volunteering across the Community Trust's range of activities. External funding will be sourced to support the delivery of the course and provide travel expenses for participants as well as provide external training including first aid.
As outlined in the 2023/24 annual report, a change in fortunes of Albion Rovers Football Club resulted in their relegation to the Lowland League which further resulted in the Community Trust losing SPFL funding.
We set out in the 2023/24 annual report the challenges this presented in relation to the Trust's ability to employ a Community Development Officer. Whilst we have recognised the value of the role of Community Development Officer, the Trustees also recognise the value of volunteer -led activity and that is an important aspect of us consolidating and maintaining the high standard of delivery of both our core and future activities. We set out in our previous report that we had decided to review the feasibility of employing a Community Development Officer and that we would engage in a further 'test of change' and operate our activities through the Trustees supported by volunteers, with a planned strategic review of the way forward to be completed by January 2025. Whilst we did meet the timeline of January 2025, we opted to continue with a further test of change which was to deliver our activities through the leadership of our volunteer Trustees, using 'ICT' in different ways to support our activities. For example, we have successfully developed the use of 'google docs' for the administration of our children's football camps. The evaluation of the test of change is scheduled for the December 2025 meeting when the final decision about the feasibility of a Community Development Officer role will be made.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Albion Rovers Community Trust
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025 set out on pages eight to fourteen.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under Section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees 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 accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :
-
(1) 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 with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
