Structure Governance and Mana
ement
Our governlng document Is based on a wrltten consthution
The constitution was drawn up based on a worklng mode; that has been
successful in admlnlstering a slmilar organlsatlon to our own
We propose to have annual audlts of our constitution to see If any changes
can be made to reflect new best practlces and modern metlwds
Our Constitutton was upgraded/amended In 2023
Trustee recruitment and a
ointment
We have had 4 Trustees thls past year. all of whom have declared a wlsh to
continue to asslst the Assoclation through these dlfficult economlc tlmes. and
ultimately to help our communlty
The Trustees to date have been chosen on the basis that thelr oiganisations
sl8ned up as members of DCSRHA. in the hope that they could access our
structure to fvrther develop their respective groups to help with fundlng and
the growth of the Associations they represent
We are currently on the searth to recrult additional Trustees from the local
communlty groups. and having spoken to a number of potential Trustees. we
are very hopeful that we will enrol some additions in the near future

Achievement and Performance
This has been a somewhat trylng perlod for DCSRHA, as is the case wlth all
bodles of our type. but we have continued to do our best to assist local
organisations and Individuals where possible It has become increasingly
difficult for all charltable organisations to raise the funds that would have
been hoped and planned for. and to that end DCSRHA have found it difficult
to assist as much as we would have liked, nevertheless we have been able to
agaln help the local Angllng Club with funds to enhance their efforts at
Collenan Reservolr and provide. even further, the enjoyment of fishing In a
pleasant environment. whllst at the same time adding upgraded pumps to
ensure the reservolr levels are sultable for fishlng for as much of the year as
Is humanly posslble. We are also stlll worklng on the Dundonald Fleld project.
whlch Is all but done. however the local authority are taklng too much time,
In our oplnlon. to finallse one or two small detalls to allow resldents the use
of the refurblshed playlng field.
Financial Review
Thls past year we have agaln found fundralslng dlfficult as mentloned
prevlously* and as such our income. and therefore our expendlture has been
minimal.
As will be seen later In thls report, we hope to work dosely wlth the Local
Authorfty and some extemal fvndlng agencies to ralse some £150.000 In the
hope of provldlng new changing faclllties for the local sports field and groups
who wlsh to use such facilities. albeit our local authority are dragging their
feet on thls polnt.
Details of an
deficit
We are glad to report that currently we have no deficit
DCSRHA

Future Plans
As soon as our Local Authority get their act together. the refurbished
Dundonald field wlll most likety be predominantly used by the local Amateur
Football Team as their home ground, and this will of course not be for their
exclusive use. as other organi&*ions such as the local school will be
encouraged to use the faullty.
It is also hoped that with the new faallty the Football Club. will be able to
have other teams, such as Youths, Over 35. Children and Ladies. teams
Involved which allows the club to become a Community Club whlch In turn
could open up other revenue schemes Ilke fvnding from the Scottish FA.
The field has and wlll contlnue to be used for the Dundonald Highland
Games. an annual event with whlch DCSRHA are delighted to have been
Involved In over the last number of years.
