Therefore, the following report is from the Board of Trustees and a reflection on all the work achieved this year and provides an insight into the year to come. ## **Achievements and progress during 2024.** The intention for 2024 was to focus on consolidation, internal processes and board recruitment. Langside Sports Club continues to focus on maintenance and improvement of the facilities and grounds: - As you will be aware we have completed many projects which have continued to enhance our facilities. We still need to complete site security, improvements to the Pavillion and the accessible toilet, and are seeking some additional funds to offset this cost. - We would like to say a huge thank you to the Project Officer, ~~|~~ for her hard work driving these forward. This role finished in August 2024 and without this capacity we would have struggled to make such great progress. - The Grounds & Buildings working group has continued to focus on the day-to-day maintenance of the Club, this portfolio of work ranges from ensuring the grounds are fit for sport and our buildings are safe, usable, clean and open. A huge thank you to the team, ee . We are appealing for more volunteer support in this area. - ● The Marketing Working group was instrumental in growing the Club membership through targeted membership packages, supporting Club Open Days, updating the Club noticeboards, producing Newsletters and using social media wide communications to reach the wider community by creating a new Instagram account and coming off X. - We would like to extend special thanks to the BIO group who have been working extremely hard all year with their programme of planting over 100 trees and pollinator friendly flowers. Volunteer sessions continue to incorporate the joy of outdoor physical activity, friendship and promoting biodiversity in the park. They have gained profile as Runner’s Up in Ortus Energy UK’s Greenest Ground Award, involvement in the UK wide #SaveOurGrassroots campaign. Providing excellent sport facilities.. Club membership has grown to 353 members aeross all our sport sections, with each section achieving progress in leagues and personal sporting bests. In addition, the Club has hosted an emerging foolball group, led by Trustee We also have a number of user groups continuing to hire our facilities, this include5 resistant training in the Pavilion, yoga and antenatal in the Club house. a Gaelic speaking parent and toddler group and more recently the Beekeepers Association. This brings a welcome income for reinvestment in the Club while also attracting new members and increasing the usage of our unique spaces. Developing robust govemance- We would like to say a huge thank you to Fraser Cunningham who is stepping down after 3 years as a Trustee. Fraser's contributions as a member of the Grounds and Buildings working group and the Board have been invaluable. Recruitment of Trustees onto the board continued during the year and in August, joined. We are still appealing for Trustees and have some defined roles which we hope wll encourage members to considerjoining. We are nearing completion of our business plan process for the period 2025 - 2027, initiating this with several strategy sessions during October to December. We have some strategic objectives for the Club. which we will share at the AGM and wll be seeking feedback from you. As part of this we have strengthened our management systems, operational procedures, risk management and supporting documentation. We have initiated engagement with the sports sections. so that the Board can provide support to grow and develop. We had our first.meel the Board" drop-in session in December, which was attended by 2 members. There are quartedy dates planned for 2025, where members can come and discuss matters, share ideas and interests and ask questions. The 5G Mast has continued to be a complex and challenging area of work. led by and supported by the Working group. We are continuing to resist the proposed mast, seeking technical advice, political support and tactics to further prevent the proposed site in Albert Park. Thank you to all who have assisted in this over the last year. The Langside Rest continues to grow its calendar of both intemal and extemal parties, gatherings and fundraisers hosted at the Club. The Rest provides vital income to the Club for investment in our facilities. Thank you to and the bar volunteers for enabling the Rest to be a fabulous party destination and facility for the members. Looking forwards to 2025. this is an exciting year. We are moving into another phase of the Club's existence wtth an opportunity to remain focused on our purpose while ereating a more resilient and robust operation. We wll continue to focus on improving our systems and processes, enabling more sport. better volunteering and more community engagement.
