OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Charitable Purpose
The purpose of the organisation is to advance public participation in sport.
St Cadocs Youth Club encourages players of all ages to engage in sport with the objective of promoting health, fitness and an appreciation of the benefits of participation in sport.
The purpose is to be achieved whilst maintaining a charitable and community-based approach throughout the club.
Significant activities
St Cadocs Youth Club continues to experience strong numbers of participation, with membership reaching a ceiling of approximately 1,050 members. The Board firmly believes that the club has the potential to expand further to 1,500 members, with the primary challenge being access to suitable facilities for both matches and training. As we look to the future, addressing this limitation will be a key focus in ensuring continued development and accessibility for all.
The club has successfully operated The Pitches facility for several years, and recent redevelopment efforts are beginning to show tangible growth in this area. This facility plays a crucial role in supporting the club's wider activities, both financially and as a key resource for player development and community engagement.
In alignment with the Scottish FA's governing criteria, the club remains committed to advancing its player pathway structure, with the long-term objective of achieving the highest Platinum level within the Scottish FA Quality Mark Programme. This requires a continued focus on equality, inclusion, and creating opportunities for all age groups to participate in the sport. The club is dedicated to ensuring that football remains accessible and welcoming to all members of the community, in line with our core values.
During the financial year, St Cadocs Youth Club has once again delivered a range of impactful programmes and outcome-driven activities that benefit both our members and the wider community. The Board would like to extend its sincere gratitude to all donors and supporters, whose contributions are vital to the club's success. In particular, we would like to acknowledge and express our deep appreciation for the generous donations of £67,700 from trustee donors during this financial year, This support has been instrumental in enabling the club to further its mission and sustain its development efforts.
Looking ahead, St Cadocs Youth Club remains committed to growth, inclusion, and excellence in youth football, ensuring that we continue to provide a positive and structured environment for all players, coaches, and volunteers involved
Volunteers
The club fully recognise the support and strength of everyone involved from the committee, the coaches, the parents, and wider volunteer base of over 200 people. We welcome and rely on this continued support - a huge thanks to all of you.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The club's revenue streams continued to grow and remain supported by large trustee donations. Income for the year is £496,663 which unfortunately led to a deficit overall of £82,810. Following on from last year's deficit, which has been adjusted by a prior year adjustment for a receipt of Gift Aid covering a three-year period, the club's balance sheet is now at a deficit of £93,192. This position remains supported at trustee level and the club is expecting significant inflows from donations and gift aid to recover the position within a relatively short time frame.
The Board note a connected party donation this year of £67,700 from Brendan Boyle in the year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Going concern
Whilst acknowledging the balance sheet deficit the trustees believe that with the continued support of trustee donations and a working plan to pay the debts incurred on salaries that the club remains a going concern.
Funds in deficit
As mentioned in the financial review the club is in deficit in the amount of £93,192. The board of trustees are working in conjunction with the major trustee donor to eradicate this position. They believe that future revenue streams and a structured plan for debt repayment will reverse the position in the medium term.
FUTURE PLANS
In April 2023, St Cadocs Youth Club appointed experienced CEO and football administrator Warren Hawke to support the Board in maximizing income streams, creating operational efficiencies, and driving the club toward its long-term objectives. This role was established to ensure best practice, enhance compliance, and strategically position the club for sustainable growth, both financially and socially.
During the 2023/24 financial year, progress has been made toward these goals, with key targets already being addressed. However, the full impact of these initiatives will become more evident in the financial years ending 2025 and 2026, as the club continues to build on its strategic direction. Over the next phase, we anticipate seeing the benefits of this investment materialize, with larger growth projections expected in the medium term.
The club has identified four key strategic priorities that will shape its future development:
-
Financially Sustainable Club - Ensuring long-term financial stability through diverse revenue streams and responsible financial management.
-
Secure a Home - Establishing a dedicated facility that provides a long-term base for the club's players, coaches, and community activities.
-
Complete the Pathways - Strengthening the player development structure to provide a seamless progression from grassroots to senior levels.
-
Senior Team(s) Playing at the Highest Level - Supporting our first teams in competing at the highest possible levels, providing aspirational opportunities for players within the club.
St Cadocs Youth Club remains committed to fostering mass participation in sport and creating opportunities for public engagement in football. The development of a new, permanent home for the club continues to be a fundamental objective, as it will provide the necessary infrastructure to support our growth, enhance player development, and ensure a lasting legacy for future generations. By focusing on these core goals, the club is well-positioned to continue its growth, strengthen its community impact, and achieve long-term success.
