period

Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy | Membership fees represent the Club's main source of funding and it on reserves does not rely on hosting large race events. Consequently the Trustees’ policy is to retain 3 months’ worth of core running costs in reserve at circa £3,000. The reserves policy will be actively reviewed as the Charity evolves and the Trustees’ consider the current cash balances are more than sufficient to promote its charitable objectives.

Details of any deficit

==> picture [317 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----
There is a deficit of -£1453 but this reflects the fact that two years’
Woodend fees appear in this year’s accounts (£4550 represents the fee
to Woodend for 23/24 and 24/25).

WEST END ROAD RUNNERS

REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2024 – 2025

As a charitable trust, WERR exists to provide a great experience, safe running, coaching and support, so that our members can achieve their goals, whatever they may be.

We enable people to build social connections, and good physical and mental health, and seeing this happen as a result of the selfless commitment of those who volunteer, is very powerful.

It shows that people want to help, and that they are prepared to protect something that to many, has become a valuable part of their lives.

I would therefore like to recognise this, and to thank every single person who has made a contribution over the past year.

Those who make sure that you can have great club kit, that each run is planned, assessed, mapped and scheduled, that achievements are amplified on our social media platforms.

Those who put themselves forward to stand up in front of 40 people to lead club runs each week, and to organise our social events.

Those who give their fellow runners a nudge or some encouragement that they should try something new to them, that they CAN achieve something amazing, and support them along the way with great coaching or structure.

Those who provide all of the membership and welfare support, and ensure that the club remains on a very solid and stable financial footing. On welfare, I am sure you will want to join me in thanking XXXXXXXXXX who has been superb in this role, and is stepping back.

And those who volunteer to sit on the management board, the running forum or step up to help when we’re thrown a curve ball.

No one does this for money. They do it because WERR is worth taking care of, so that all of our

I would like to highlight WERR Run Together and the work done by all of those involved this year to establish this important part of who we are.

Run Together offers 5k runs with an emphasis on building fitness and social connections. It taps into what the wider running community wants to do, and it is broadening our appeal.

In Run Together, we are building an understanding over time on what works and doesn’t work. I think its superb, and congratulate everyone who is playing a part.

Lastly, this will be my 10th year as chair of WERR. I too am still learning, and the job would be impossible without the support of my fellow trustees and the WERR community.

Thank you. Let’s see what we can do in the year ahead!

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of West End Road Runners

I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 30 April 2025 which are set out in APPENDIX 2.

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 trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 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 Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. 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 seeks explanations from the 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.

Independent Examiners Statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations

have not been met, or

to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
