Objectives and Activities
The Rangers Charity Foundation SCIO exists to be a force for good on behalf of the Rangers Family, showing compassion to those in need, tackling inequalities and creating opportunities for people of all ages to change their lives for the better.
Everything the Foundation does is focused on creating a positive difference for people and communities. In line with OSCR guidance, the Trustees are confident that our programmes and support deliver genuine public benefit, whether through helping young people into education and employment, improving health and wellbeing, or providing care and compassion to those most in need.
Within our broad charitable purpose and current strategic approach, the focus of our activity can be split into seven thematic pillars:
We are a Foundation for:
Potentia l
Offering life changing opportunities in education and pathways towards employment.
Healthy Lives
Supporting children and adults to improve their health and wellbeing.

Achievements and Performance
It has been a year of further strategic success and wide-ranging impact for the Rangers Charity Foundation. During the final year within our current strategic cycle, we have continued to champion our mission in supporting people of all ages to change their lives for the better. The diversity of our work, in relation to the charity’s size, is remarkable, and we recognise the unique ability that we have to respond to needs in society around us and to use the trust placed in us by those using our services, wisely and with compassion. Monitoring and reflecting upon our impact for people is important to the Foundation and we remain proactive in sharing project reports, activity outcomes and case studies across our digital media platforms.
During the year, we worked with several valued local and national charity partners and delivered a diverse range of 26 community programmes and initiatives reaching almost 7,000 people of all ages. Delivery of an extensive suite of bespoke educational programmes for young people resulted in 319 SQA awards. Thousands of primary school pupils benefitted from a range of tailored programmes focused upon health and wellbeing and diversity and inclusion. Further investment in the rejuvenation of the Ibrox Community Complex continues to pay dividends for our own community programme delivery as well as the many partners and groups which have used the facility during the year.
We responded to 2,453 requests for support and provided a positive response or in-kind donation to 96% of these. In addition, our Rangers Charity Dream Fund has enabled the Foundation to hold out the hand of friendship to those in need of a boost. Providing a personal touch has always been important to the Foundation and we remain dedicated in showing compassion to those who have faced unique challenges, illness, or bereavement during the past year.

Community Programmes
With over 26 different community programmes and initiatives delivered over the year to over 7,000 children and adults the Foundation remains committed to enabling tangible and sustained positive change for people in diverse, but tailored, ways.
A Foundation For Potential
Thanks to the Foundation’s community programmes, hundreds of young people are given the opportunity to learn, grow in confidence, improve their employability prospects and identify routes to other positive destinations, such as further education and volunteering.
Our CashBack For Communities – Towards New Futures programme funded by Scottish Government, which aims to re-engage young people leaving prison or with experience of the criminal justice system continues to exceed expectations. Young people were supported into a range of positive destinations, including employment, college, further training or work experience and volunteer roles.
It was a record year for our SQA Programme of Wider Achievement with 21 schools from eight different local authorities engaging with the initiative. Thanks to the Foundation’s SQA Approved Centre status, we are able to guide pupils who may be disengaged in the school environment through SQA approved qualifications.
Our Hub in the Community initiative runs in four high schools across Glasgow, seeing each school with a full-time member of Foundation staff on campus to assist with improving attainment and attendance. In partnership with Whitehill Secondary School we were delighted to be able to recruit a second Hub Officer to help expand the impact and support for young people at the school. This year we hosted age group cohorts from all four schools and learning units within the schools to participate in Hub School tournaments at the Ibrox Community Complex. A group of pupils from our Govan Hub School also had the opportunity to visit our friends at the Manchester Utd Foundation to share good practice and take in a match at Old Trafford.
Ready for Uni, a leadership programme which supports young people from our Hub Schools with their aspirations of attending university, was delivered over a number of sessions this season at the University of Glasgow.
A Foundation For Healthy Lives
Our wide range of programmes target older people, young children and everyone in between thanks to a comprehensive range of initiatives designed to help people improve their health and wellbeing.
Supporting mental wellbeing is a significant strand of our work within this charitable pillar. Our now long-established Team Talk initiative is funded via Rangers FC shirt sponsor UNIBET (a brand of FDJ United) and has three key elements, a ‘football and check in’ session, a weekly online wellbeing session and a 12 week more intensive mental wellbeing support course.
Our Changing Room programme in partnership with SAMH continued and we were pleased to expand our support for veterans by establishing our Veterans at Ease programme, which also focuses upon mental wellbeing.

A Foundation For Healthy Lives (continued)
To support people who are dealing with and recovering from addiction, we continued to facilitate a Recovery Drop In Service thanks to long-term funding support from the National Lottery Community Fund. Combined, these services were used by 211 adults during the year.
We run tailored activities for older people, such as Walking Football and Football Memories, and a school-based programme for young children focusing on nutrition and exercise, Joy of Moving.
Rangers Women’s player Mia McAulay visited a Joy of Moving session at Pollokshields Primary School to talk to pupils about the importance of keeping active and having a balanced diet. Joy of Moving is a national SPFL Trust initiative funded by Ferrero.
In partnership with the Scottish FA and thanks to funding from the Scottish Government, we were able to continue our Scottish FA Extra Time initiative, which provides free after-school care for children at local schools as well as a parent support group.
One of the Foundation’s most popular programmes is Football Fans in Training, an initiative for adults aged 35 – 65. FFIT helps overweight men and women improve their fitness, lose weight and train with fellow fans at Ibrox. This season, 122 adults lost a collective total of over 401kg and 657cm from their waists. Over 200 men and women also benefitted from our weekly Tuesday night FFIT for Life sessions which have helped participants who have finished the FFIT course to maintain and build upon their successes. FFIT is a national SPFL Trust initiative funded by Scottish Government.
Our Trauma Counselling Service remains embedded within a number of our programmes providing vital, person-centred support to a range of participants. A number of programme funders backed the service during the year, including via a generous donation from The Ellen and Ian Graham Foundation.
A Foundation For Everyone and Anyone
The Foundation is committed to championing and celebrating diversity and inclusion, which is reflected in the programmes we run under our Everyone Anyone pillar, as well as our wider work.
Following the launch last year of Count Me In, 18 young adults who have a learning disability have taken part in this empowering programme, which for some included the fantastic opportunity to represent the Foundation at the Football is More Helvetia Cup in St. Gallen, Switzerland, thanks to our partnership and friendship with the Football is More Foundation.
Our flagship Diversity Wins programme was the first of its kind in the UK when it launched in 2018 and was delivered to 832 primary pupils this season. Run in partnership with Glasgow City Council, this initiative teaches P6s and 7s about discrimination and prejudice, stereotyping and employability.
Autism Friendly Football (supported by Better Breaks) and Visually Impaired Football (supported by Better Breaks and The Powell Family Foundation) continue to be of great benefit to young people who might otherwise be unable to enjoy structured football. The sessions

provide an opportunity to have fun, become more physically active and allow parents and carers to connect.
As part of our collective commitment to diversity and inclusion, Rangers Football Club and Rangers Charity Foundation were proud once again to take part in Glasgow’s Pride March.
A Foundation For Our Local Community
Being a good and trusted neighbour is important to the Rangers Charity Foundation and we are proud to play an active part in supporting other organisations in the local community as well as individuals.
Our refurbished Ibrox Community Complex is now used for a range of community programmes available at no cost to local people, such as Walking Football, Recovery Drop In, our weekly Saturday Night Youth Hub which provides 8-18 year olds with access to football, indoor sports and games, supervised by our community coaches and Scottish FA Extra Time which provides free after-school care to Ibrox Primary School to assist local parents.
We provided monetary donations to a number of small charitable organisations, many of them local, and arranged matchday bucket collections supporting a wide range of good causes.
At the request of Glasgow South Health and Social Care Partnership, we were pleased to administer the distribution of £8,500 to a number of local organisations as part of a Participatory Budgeting initiative.
At Christmas time, we welcomed 80 local senior citizens to Ibrox for a special Christmas lunch with entertainment as part of the SPFL Trust’s Festive Friends initiative. Among the guests was ex-player Lee McCulloch. We also delivered hampers to the doorsteps of those who were unable to attend.
A Foundation For A Better World
The Rangers Charity Foundation aims to make the world a better place by working with charities in the local community and across the country and has donated over £6.9 million in cash and in-kind support to date.
For season 2024/25 we worked with Scottish Action for Mental Health as our National Charity Partner, donating £20,000 for its ground-breaking new mental health support service in Glasgow, The Nook, as well as sharing important messaging around mental wellbeing throughout the year.
We also continue to support local partners, helping Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity bring the magic of the festive season to the wards by funding Christmas decorations as well as funding towards a specialist piece of sleep monitoring equipment.
Glasgow City Mission and the Simon Community Scotland received £17,000 from our Big Ibrox Sleep Out events, taking our total donated to homeless projects to over £350,000 to date. The donation helped Glasgow City Mission sustain their Housing Resettlement project

and support the Simon Community Scotland to deliver the charity’s new Connect Hub for women experiencing homelessness in Glasgow.
The Rangers Charity Foundation has demonstrated steadfast support for services related charities over many years and, along with the club, holds a Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award, an accolade which has recently been renewed for a further five years. This season we donated £10,000 in total to TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) and Forces Children Scotland through our Armed Forces Fund, taking our total donations to date to £261,000 for services-related charities.
A Foundation For Giving
The Foundation aims to support as many people as possible in the community who are working hard to raise funds for causes close to their hearts.
Over the past year we responded to 2,453 requests for support from people raising money for a wide variety of worthwhile causes and were able to say yes to 96% of these requests.
Thanks to our discretionary grants fund we also donated vital funds to local organisations including several with the elderly and veterans, charities alleviating poverty and a local Christmas toy bank.
We provided a wide range of charities and other good causes with the opportunity to hold a can collection at Ibrox Stadium, donated complimentary match tickets and stadium tours to individuals and community groups and sent letters and goodie bags to children and adults in hospital.
A Foundation For Dreams
This season the Rangers Charity Foundation continued to bring smiles to the faces of those in need of a boost through the Rangers Charity Dream Fund.
The Foundation was delighted to be able to host two special Dream Days at the Rangers Training Centre, as well as a number of Dream Fund experiences on matchdays at Ibrox. 22 nominees and their guests attended the Rangers Training Centre where they had the opportunity to meet the First Team and the Manager and enjoy an exclusive photo and autograph session, followed by a stadium tour and meal at Ibrox.
Another highlight was our annual Dream Fund Christmas party. Children living with life limiting illnesses and in other difficult circumstances were treated to entertainment, games and food as well as a surprise visit from Rangers stars Jefté, Robbie Fraser and Mason Munn.
Our Dream Day Matchday Experiences this season offered guests a day to remember. These included a special meet and greet with Rangers First Team players pre-match, before a tour of the trophy room and the chance to experience the match with hospitality.

Ibrox Community Complex
The Rangers Charity Foundation took on a 25-year lease of the Ibrox Community Complex from Glasgow City Council in September 2022, and with the strong backing of Rangers Football Club looks forward to continuing the rejuvenation of this facility over the coming years to support the Foundation’s strategic approach and priorities. Working collaboratively with our trading subsidiary RCF Community Complex Ltd has enabled the Foundation to increase its physical presence in the local community and to expand the range of programmes and initiatives we can deliver for people to help them change their lives for the better. A successful bid for funding from the SFA’s Grassroots Fund 2023, supported by UK Government, together with financial support from Rangers Football Club, enabled the replacement of the artificial pitch with a new 3G surface and improvement to the facilities and decoration within the building.
Fundraising
Fundraising highlights during the year included:
-
Our Back to the 80s themed ball, raised £119,000.
-
Big Ibrox Sleep Out – 108 supporters braved the cold and dark nights of winter, raising £34,000 which was split between the Foundation and two charities supporting those affected by homelessness - Glasgow City Mission and Simon Community Scotland.
-
Play On The Pitch raised £22,000.
-
160 supporters took part in our first Red, Night and Blue Midnight Walk, raising £32,000.
-
300 participants completed our second Broxi’s Challenge event, raising over £60,000.
-
Our Bears Up Ben Nevis hike raised over £13,000.
-
Over 7,000 items of Foundation related merchandise were sold to supporters to help raise further funds for the Foundation.
-
Many supporters also took on their own fundraising challenges or made generous donations throughout the year in support of our work.
Future Strategy
A new long-term strategy for the Rangers Charity Foundation was approved by the board of trustees in May 2025 and is due to be implemented, as planned, from July 2025. The strategy represents a positive future vision for the charity, reinforcing the success of our existing work and providing a range of tactical developments to further amplify our impact and strengthen our future sustainability.
While our long-term strategy sets out where we want to be in five years’ time, the year ahead brings some immediate priorities. We want to build on what we started in 2024/25, make sure our new programmes bed in well, and continue investing in our team. We will also focus on broadening our fundraising base and showing clearly how our work changes lives, so we can keep earning the trust of our supporters and funders.
Our mission remains unchanged and our new organisational values, strategic priorities and key charitable pillars which will guide the way in which we seek to make a powerful difference for people during the next five years are as follows:

Financial Review
Results for the year
The Group Statement of Financial Activities on page 19 shows a surplus of £100,728 (2024: deficit of £22,156). The group’s net assets at the period end amounted to £706,074 (2024: £605,346), of which £5,111 was in restricted funds (2024: £63,467). The Charity Statement of Financial Activities on page 21 shows a deficit of £16,641 (2024: surplus of £51,885). The charity’s net assets at the period end amounted to £662,745 (2024: £679,387), of which £5,111 represents restricted funds (2024: £63,467).
Principle funding sources
The principle funding sources of the charity are: donations received; funding from trusts, foundations, companies, local authorities and Scottish and UK governments for the delivery of specific community programme activity; the annual Charity Ball; our True Blue Heroes campaign and other organised fundraising events and activities.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that accumulated income should not fall below a level sufficient to fund three months of running costs and any redundancy costs. Based on current expenditure levels this would equate to £388,818. At 30 June 2025 the charity had free reserves of £556,761 which is above the target level. This is the amount in unrestricted funds less funds designated by trustees for a specific purpose. During the year, the trustees have increased investment in the Foundation’s community programme activity, discretionary grant giving and in the staffing necessary to effectively implement the Foundation’s wider strategy. The Foundation looks forward to upholding its mission and planning for the next strategic phase.
Investment policy
The trustees have the power to invest as they see fit.
Principle risks and uncertainties
Every charity faces risks, and we take these seriously. We regularly review our risk register and make sure that the biggest risks — like looking after our staff, protecting our reputation, and managing the running of the Ibrox Community Complex — are closely monitored. Each risk is ranked by how likely it is and how big the impact could be. We then put clear actions in place to reduce these risks, and update our plans as circumstances change. This helps ensure the Foundation stays strong and focused on delivering for the people we serve.
We believe that the following are the key areas which bring both risk and uncertainty:
- Having strong consideration for the wellbeing, welfare and retention of our staff, including during the current cost of living challenges faced by wider society.

THE RANGERS CHARITY FOUNDATION SCIO
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Principle risks and uncertainties (continued)
We mitigate potential impacts by: having a flexible working framework in place; providing health and wellbeing benefits via a national health cash plan provider, including access to a Doctor; providing a free counselling service; undertaking and implementing the recommended outcomes of an independent benchmarking exercise across all roles in the Foundation and maintaining close dialogue between the Foundation’s Chief Executive and the Foundation Chair regarding staff and their welfare.
- Managing the potential impact on the organisation in the event of significant changes in the ability of Rangers Football Club to provide office facilities, community delivery space and other bespoke services.
We mitigate against this by maintaining effective dialogue between the Foundation Chief Executive and Club executives to ensure that a mutually agreeable working arrangement can be maintained. The recent lease agreement for the Ibrox Community Complex also provides the Foundation with additional delivery space and staff working spaces, should this be required. A contingency plan to ensure that operating data is stored or saved in an alternative location is also in place.
- Managing the potential impact on the organisation in the event that reputational damage is caused internally or externally and that this adversely impacts our supporters and funders.
Any form of external release or communication which is deemed to have a potentially damaging effect is approved by the Foundation Chief Executive, or where there is potentially a severely damaging effect or danger of misinterpretation, by a majority quorum of trustees prior to release. Careful consideration is also given by the Foundation’s Chief Executive with regard to any third parties who may act on the Foundation’s behalf.
- Managing the potential impact on the organisation following the agreement with Glasgow City Council to secure a long-term lease on the Ibrox Community Complex and ensuring that this does not adversely impact upon the Foundation’s existing charitable activities and the organisation’s financial sustainability.
All legal documents and agreements were carefully reviewed by the Foundation’s legal advisers and the board of trustees prior to signing. Funding arrangements are in place with Rangers Football Club and a separate trading company and bank account for RCF Community Complex Ltd have been established to appropriately separate the trading activities of this initiative from Rangers Charity Foundation SCIO. Appropriate Corporate Tax and VAT advice has been sought to ensure that the operation of our proposed trading subsidiary and financial management of the facility is delivered effectively and follows best practice. Appropriate staffing has been secured to ensure that appropriate checks, procedures and management systems are in place and staff support and resource will continue to be reviewed as our operation and management of the facility evolves.

Principle risks and uncertainties (continued)
- We must ensure that all appropriate policies and procedures are in place in relation to ensure proper and effective management of our community programme activities.
A health and safety policy (and associated risk assessments) and safeguarding policies have been established and the Foundation’s public liability policy is reviewed regularly, and appropriate cover secured. Community coaching staff hired from Rangers FC have received and accepted these policies as being current and understood. All appropriate policies are maintained and updated as necessary by key Foundation personnel. An organisational risk register is maintained, regularly updated and shared with all trustees, with additional oversight by a nominated trustee.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), which is a charity registered in Scotland (SCO47681), is operated under the rules of its constitution. Rangers Charity Foundation SCIO was incorporated as a SCIO with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) on 30 August 2017. The Foundation converted to a SCIO for day to day operations on 1 January 2019 and Rangers Charity Foundation SCIO (SCO47681) replaced Rangers Charity Foundation (SC033287) following the transfer of assets and liabilities to this new entity.
New trustees may be appointed at the discretion of the existing board of trustees under procedures outlined in the charity’s constitution.
All major decisions relating to strategy, aims, objectives, priorities and targets are taken by trustees at periodic meetings or by an individual trustee in the interim as necessary. As the senior managerial employee of the Foundation, the Chief Executive liaises directly with trustees, implementing decisions and putting forward development proposals for consideration.
Trustees’ meetings are held on a quarterly basis or more regularly when business requires. The Foundation’s Chief Executive reports on a more regular basis to the Chair of trustees who has been delegated authority to oversee key financial and operational matters on behalf of the trustees. A management report covering operational matters is submitted to the trustees by the Foundation’s Chief Executive on behalf of the senior management team on a bi-monthly basis.
The remuneration of all Foundation employees is reviewed annually by the trustees and is based upon the overall sustainability of the Foundation, prevailing external factors (including benchmarking) and where appropriate individual performance. The remuneration of the Foundation’s Chief Executive is considered in a similar way with additional benchmarking analysis where a significant change in responsibility is applicable.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement of disclosure to the auditor
So far as the trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Charity’s Auditors are unaware. Additionally, the trustees have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as trustees, in order to make themselves aware of all the relevant audit information and to establish that the Charity’s Auditors are aware of that information.

have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE RANGERS CHARITY FOUNDATION SCIO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the report and financial statements, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Report of the Trustees; or
-
proper accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit;
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 13, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the group and parent charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE RANGERS CHARITY FOUNDATION SCIO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with regulations made under those Acts.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
We identify and assess risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, responding appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit process. This includes obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The primary responsibility however for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with those charged with governance and executive management of the entity.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we have considered the following:
-
The nature of the charity, the environment in which it operates and the control procedures implemented by management and the trustees; and
-
Our enquiries of management and trustees about their identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities.
Based on our understanding of the charity and the sector we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to, but were not limited to;
- Regulations and legislation pertinent to the charity’s operations
We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material impact on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations which have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements, such as the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE RANGERS CHARITY FOUNDATION SCIO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
We evaluated management and trustees’ incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of management override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to;
- Posting inappropriate journal entries;
Audit response to the risks identified;
Our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
-
Gaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the sector in which it operates;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
Enquiring of management, trustees and legal advisors concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Identifying and testing journal entries to assess whether any of the journals appeared unusual and evaluating the business rationale of any one-off significant transactions outside the normal course of business. We scrutinised the general ledger for the following:
-
Duplicate journal entries
-
Unbalanced journals
-
Journals with detail which included key phrases or words
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

THE RANGERS CHARITY FOUNDATION SCIO
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 1. Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity’s presentational currency is sterling and amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements consolidate the results of the wholly owned subsidiary RCF Community Complex Ltd on a line by line basis.
(b) Funds structure
-
Unrestricted income funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
-
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
-
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.
Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 22.
(c) Income recognition
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be qualified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income.
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when reasonable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of the services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.
Investment income is included when receivable. Incoming resources from charitable trading activities are accounted for when earned.

THE RANGERS CHARITY FOUNDATION SCIO
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 1. Accounting Policies (continued)
Income is only deferred when:
-
The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or
-
The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
(d) Expenditure recognition
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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this attribution refer to note (e) below.
-
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of commercial trading and their associated support costs;
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes charitable donations and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs;
(e) Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.
Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on the time spent. The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 12.
(f) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
(g) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

THE RANGERS CHARITY FOUNDATION SCIO
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1. Accounting Policies (continued)
(h) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
(i) Pensions
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 16. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end. The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included within support and governance costs and charged to the unrestricted funds of the charity using the methodology set out in note 16.
(j) Taxation
The Foundation is a charity within the meaning of Section 467 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010. Accordingly, the Foundation is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied to charitable purposes only.
(k) Financial instruments
The Foundation only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
(l) Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
(m) Operating leases
The charity classifies the lease of properties as operating leases; the title to the properties remains with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
2. Legal status of the Charity
The charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO).

23. Analysis of charitable funds – Group (continued)
Big Sleep Out – Three sleep out events held which raised income for local homelessness charities.
Cash Back - Towards New Futures – A bespoke employability programme that re-engages people with offending backgrounds into the community and supports their aspirations towards a sustained positive destination
FFIT – The purpose of this grant is to assist in the delivery of Football Fans in Training (FFIT). Income received from The SPFL trust during the year was £24,700.
Foodbank Collection – Money collected on our Christmas matchday collection which was divided to two chosen local foodbanks (Riverside Primary School & Glasgow SW Foodbank).

Participants can discuss issues with their peers in a safe, open environment before channelling their energy into exercise through football coaching, which sees them learn the skills to sit their SFA Level 1 coaching exam. The course gives veterans the time, space and support they need to examine their lifestyle choices, change attitudes and learn valuable skills for the future.
Govan Participatory Budgeting Initiative – Glasgow South Health and Social Care Partnership asks for our support in distributing funds to local organisations as part of a local participatory budgeting initiative. The Foundation agrees the process and application criteria with this partner in advance and, following the outcome of applications and participatory budgeting feedback from local people, distributed the funds as agreed and following the assessment process to confirm eligibility.

28. Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these 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.

28. Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
Allocation of expenditure between activities – Support costs are allocated between charitable activities and governance based on the time spent by senior management on undertaking the charity’s activities.
Critical Judgements
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Leases
Determine whether leases entered into by the charity either as a lessor or a lessee are operating or finance leases. These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee on a lease-by-lease basis.
