St Cadocs Youth Club

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 August 2025

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The main objectives of the Charity are as follows:

The objectives are established by its Constitution.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The year ending August 2025 represents an important period in the continued development of St Cadocs Youth Club, marking the first full financial year under the newly established Board structure.

At the start of this period, the club deliberately formed a Board comprised of individuals selected for their diverse professional skills, experience, and ability to contribute strategically to the long-term development of the organisation. This approach has created a balanced and capable Board, able to oversee the growth of one of the largest community football clubs in the region.

Over the course of the year, the Board has met monthly, with meetings characterised by proactive discussion, constructive challenge, and strong governance across a wide range of operational, financial, and strategic matters. This structure has allowed the club to move forward with greater clarity, accountability, and focus. It must also be recognised that many Board members have given far more hours than expected to ensure a smooth passage in all areas at this earliest stage.

At the outset of the Board’s tenure, the trustees were informed that the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) had opened an investigation into certain areas of the club’s operations. The Board engaged fully with this process and provided detailed responses to the matters raised. Following the submission of the requested information and evidence of recent changes of direction made, OSCR we are pleased to say, confirmed that it was satisfied with the work undertaken and formally closed its investigation.

The work of the Board during the year has been guided by the club’s four core strategic priorities:

  1. Creating a Financially Sustainable Club

  2. Securing a Permanent Home

  3. Developing a Complete Player Pathway

  4. Supporting First Teams to Compete at the Highest Sustainable Level

Financial Sustainability

One of the most significant challenges faced during the year has been addressing a level of historical debt accumulated over the previous years. This debt placed pressure on the club’s finances and required immediate attention.

The Board undertook a detailed review of the club’s financial position and implemented a structured financial plan to stabilise the organisation, manage existing liabilities, and create a clearer framework for financial sustainability moving forward.

While this process has required difficult decisions and careful financial discipline, the progress made during the year has placed the club on a more stable and responsible financial footing.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities (cont..)

Securing a Permanent Home

Securing a permanent home for the club remains one of the most important strategic priorities.

During the year the club experienced significant disappointment when Whitecraigs Rugby Club withdrew from a proposed partnership arrangement that would have provided a potential long-term home for St Cadocs. This was a setback after considerable effort had been invested in exploring that opportunity.

However, the Board has remained fully committed to this objective and has continued to work tirelessly to identify and explore alternative options, opening discussions with a range of stakeholders regarding potential future sites and partnerships.

The club continues to operate from ‘The Pitches’ at 137 Shawbridge Street, Glasgow, which serves as a key operational hub for training, matches, and wider community activity. The facility provides essential infrastructure for the delivery of football across multiple age groups and plays an important role in supporting the scale of the club’s operations.

It should be noted that the current tenancy agreement for The Pitches is now entering its final year, with expiry due in October 2026. As such, the Board will undertake a full options appraisal during the summer of 2026 to assess the longterm viability of the site, including consideration of building condition, financial sustainability, and alignment with the club’s wider strategic objectives.

The Board remains confident that a long-term facility solution can be achieved, whether through the continued use of The Pitches or through alternative development opportunities, which will ultimately support the continued growth and sustainability of the club.

Developing a Complete Player Pathway

St Cadoc’s Youth Club continues to be proud of its role in providing football opportunities for a large number of players within the local community. Membership for the last few years have stabilised at approximately 1,100 players, maintaining the club’s position as one of the largest community football clubs in Scotland. The club also recognises that there is significant unmet demand, and with access to the appropriate level of facilities for training and matches, there is realistic potential to grow participation to circa 1,500 players.

The club remains committed to building and strengthening a complete pathway for players, from early participation through to senior football.

Throughout the year the club has continued to support the development of players across all age groups while also strengthening links between youth teams and senior squads. This approach ensures that players can see a clear progression route within the club.

First Teams Competing at the Highest Sustainable Level

The club’s male and female first teams continue to represent St Cadocs within the Scottish football structure and remain an important part of the club’s identity.

The Board’s focus in this area has been to ensure that both teams are supported in a way that allows them to compete as strongly as possible while remaining aligned with the club’s financial sustainability and long-term strategy.

Due to the fact that the first team is operating in a manner outside of the charitable ethos of ‘mass participation and enjoyment’ the board after taking accounting and charitable advice set up a separate Limited Company (St Cadocs Football Club Ltd – SC860046) for all First Team finances.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

During the year, there was an unrestricted surplus of £8,112 (2024: deficit of £102,455) and the balance on the unrestricted fund at 31 August 2025 was a deficit of £82,915 (2024: deficit of £91,026). The trustees are satisfied with the financial position of the charity and continue to monitor and review the income, expenditure and assets of the charity with a view to ensuring the charity's financial affairs are conducted in a prudent and effective manner.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (cont..)

Funds in deficit

As mentioned in the financial review the club is in deficit in the amount of £82,915 (2024: £91,026). The board of trustees are working to eradicate this position. They believe that future revenue streams and the restructure will reverse the position going forward.

Going concern

Whilst acknowledging the balance sheet deficit the trustees believe that with the restructure plan, the club remains a going concern.

FUTURE PLANS

While the year has presented a number of challenges, it has also been a period of significant progress in strengthening the governance and strategic direction of the club.

Over the past year it became clear that focusing on the First Teams was essential, both in terms of and ensuring that the pathway for players remains meaningful and aspirational and we address the focus on a sustainable version of the first team. Recent changes to the club’s structure and personnel have been implemented to strengthen this area and will allow St Cadocs to continue supporting both male first team activities effectively. We are also delighted to report that we continue to see the upper Female section team now progressed to U18 status, the club will support this team to progress to a “First Team” status in the next couple of years.

The Board is clear that long-term sustainability must remain the guiding principle for the club’s development. Ensuring that football ambitions remain aligned with financial stability, strong governance, and facility development will be central to the club’s future decisions.

The Board would like to place on record its sincere thanks to the volunteers, coaches, players, parents, and partners who continue to support the work of St Cadocs Youth Club. The dedication and commitment shown across the club is what allows it to continue providing football opportunities for so many within the community.

With strong governance now in place and clear strategic priorities guiding our work, the Board remains confident that St Cadocs Youth Club is well positioned to continue developing as a sustainable, community-focused football organisation in the years ahead.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (cont..)

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.

In this regard the treasurer is responsible for control of the club finances and they are overseen by the committee. Decisions are taken on finances and control procedures at board level.

In response to the most important risk area identified by the club, extensive and rigorous controls are in place in particular in the areas of Child Protection ensuring all officers of the club and coaching volunteers are in possession of appropriate PVG and Disclosure certification appropriate to their involvement. There is a dedicated club Child Protection Officer and in line with all relevant guidance Child Protection procedures are strictly controlled and enforced at all levels.

The club have also reviewed the going concern risk and the trustees remain of the opinion that the charity can reverse its deficit within a relatively short timescale

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Cadocs Youth Club

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025 set out on pages six to thirteen.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 31 August 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.

Going concern

The trustees consider management accounts to monitor the charity. The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They continue to believe the going concern basis of accounting appropriate in preparing the annual financial statements. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for income and expenditure during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

There are no key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Income

All income, except for capital grants, is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. The charity's main sources of income are from the provision of rental space and activities

Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' or 'revenue' grants is also recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

No capital grants have been received in this or the previous year period. Capital grants receivable require to be credited to income in capital funds when receivable and released to unrestricted general funds in line with the depreciation charges for the assets acquired.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
