Trustees’ Report
Structure, Governance and Management
Constitution
TASC is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (a SCIO). The Charity has a single tier structure that comprises a Board of Trustees who are also the Members. The Charity's objectives, structure, governance and management arrangements are set out in its Constitution document which can be found on the website.
Appointment and training of Trustees
'
The Board of Trustees meets as a matter of course on a quarterly basis. The Board of Trustees comprises the key office holders, representatives of the initial participating clubs, being the Aberfeldy Rugby Football Club and the Aberfeldy Golf Club, and other members of the local community . New Trustees are initially appointed by the Board of Trustees. All Trustees are required to retire, and if nominated, to stand for re-election on an annual basis at the Annual General Meeting. The initial participating clubs each have the right to nominate three Trustees for election. The constitution stipulates a maximum of nine Trustees and a minimum of four.
Newly appointed Trustees are provided with copies of the constitution and policy documentation. They are also pointed towards the guidance for charities and trustees on the OSCR website. All Trustees were invited to attend a training session that was held on 5th February 2025. The training covered the duties of a charity trustee and the latest regulations applying to charities. It was organised and presented by a qualified lawyer who specialises in charity law.
Objectives and Activities
Charitable purposes
TASC has been established for charitable purposes only, and in particular, the objects are:
The advancement of public participation in sport and the provision of recreational facilities which will be achieved through:
- e Provision of shared clubhouse, changing rooms and car parking facilities for use by amateur sports clubs, societies and associations.
e Advancement of physical, social and mental wellbeing within the community through participation in sporting activities regardless of a person's age, disability, gender, reassignment status, sex, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status or any other background.
Activities
TASC was first registered as a charity in December 2020, with the single objective of developing and operating a new multi-use clubhouse for use by amateur sports clubs and the wider community of Aberfeldy and the surrounding area. It took a full three years to complete the initial design which, given the proximity to the Upper Tay and Wades Bridge, attracted particular attention from SEPA and Historic Environment Scotland. All of the required regulatory approvals were subsequently obtained, funding agreements were signed and works commenced in December 2024. The construction and fit out were completed in time for a soft opening in December 2025, leaving only the landscaping to be completed.

Achievements and Performance
During the year under review the efforts were mainly focused on monitoring progress with construction of the new clubhouse. As with many projects, we faced cost pressures and were forced to secure additional funding which was provided by a number of our cornerstone funders.
Practical completion of the new building was achieved on 14th November 2025, following which the Trustees were engaged in equipping the kitchen, furnishing the locker rooms and furnishing the bar and restaurant area. Our two initial participating clubs, the Aberfeldy Golf Club and the Aberfeldy Rugby Football Club, were very keen to ensure that the clubhouse had high quality lockers in the changing rooms and, between them, they agreed to lend sufficient funds to TASC so that the required quality could be secured. These loans will be repaid when future funding permits.
It always was the intention of the Trustees to appoint a suitably experienced operator for the day to day operation and running of the club. We were really pleased to sign an operating agreement with Riverside Restaurants Ltd, to which we handed over all operating aspects with effect from 18th December 2025. An official launch of the multi-use clubhouse is planned for March 2026, prior to which, only limited opening times will be made available.
Financial Review
Planning consent for the construction of a new multi-use clubhouse was granted in November 2023 and conditional funding agreements, sufficient to meet the estimated costs, had been signed by 31 December 2023. All costs directly associated with the detailed design, construction and project management have been capitalised with effect from 1st January 2024. We entered 2025 with committed grant funding of £1,551,155. However, due to unforeseen cost increases, mainly associated with meeting the requirements of utility providers, we were obliged to raise additional grant funding during 2025, taking total grant funding for the project up to £1,630,115
Total income in the year to 31 December 2025 was £1,424,121 (2024 - £169,541) including grant funding of of £1,414,025 (2024 - £163,091).
During the year to 31 December 2025, costs amounting to £1,462,294 hasve been capitalised as fixed assets (2024 - 135,833) while costs of £6,302 have been expensed (2024 - £9,341). Depreciation of the fixed assets will commence from 1 January 2026 when the assets were first brought into effective use.
The Board of Trustees offer their sincere thanks to the government agencies, trust funds, community funds and sports clubs that have supported our project:
SSE Renewables Griffin and Calliachar Community Fund The Gannochy Trust
The Scottish Rugby Union
sportscotland
UK Shared Prosperity Fund The Community Led Local Development Fund The Wood Foundation Basil Death Trust Aberfeldy Golf Club Aberfeldy Rugby Football Club

Trustees’ Report
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have established a reserves policy that will be applied following completion of construction. The policy is to build sufficient cash reserves over the first 5 years to cover one year's future running costs plus at least one year's projected asset replacement cost.
Plans for the Future
The new clubhouse opened for business, with restricted hours and services, on 19th December 2025. Opening hours will now be steadily increased so that a full suite of services will be available in the early Spring of 2026. Having completed thé building works, the Trustees will now set about raising funds to complete the landscaping adjacent to the building.
Consistent with our objective of encouraging more people to engage in sporting activities, TASC will seek to raise funds that will be utilised to support amateur sporting activities, whether by direct grants to sports clubs or by purchasing sports equipment that would be made available for use across different sporting activities.
Thanks
The Trustees would like to extend their thanks to the organisations and individuals who have added their support for the project. The Trustees extend their thanks to the cornerstone investors, in particular to the grant managers at Perth & Kinross Council who have co-ordinated the fund raising activity, and to our team of appointed professionals who have helped us to navigate our way through the design and planning processes.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial 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 these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the provisions of the Trust Deed. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
