We strive to deliver an environment where football can be played and enjoyed by all, regardless of ethnicity, gender or ability. We seek to provide an opportunity to develop the physical, mental and emotional growth of our players and other club participants such as coaches, volunteers, committee and family members. Through experience derived from playing football and supporting communrty focused initiatives we aim to enhance life skills such as teamwork. fair-play and commitment in a supportive environment and we strive to be role models for the youth in our club as well as the larger community in which we operate. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES The Club's activities are underpinned by participation in development and competitive football. These football activities are undertaken in line with the Scottish Football Association {SFAI player pathway that encourages and supports participation from 4 years, all the way to adult football. Al present there are approximately 500 children playing competitive or development football, comprising approximately 350 boys and 125 girts At a minimum all our members are provided the opportuntty to participate in arranged matches or football festivals and get access to foojsed coaching and training sessions. In addition to these activities, the club promotes other participation in football, holds a number of key recurring events and fosters interaction with the community through hosting or supporting various events. The Club holds Platinum status in respect of the Scottish FA (SFA) Quality Mark. This represents the highest level of Scottish FA Quality Mark accreditation and requires the Club to satisfy various criteria which include-. Participation levels {including a minimum of 12 teams) Education {including minimum levels of waching education) Club services (including key minimum roles and workshop activities) The Club is also undertaking signfficant effort to improve the local football facilities which are currently insufficient to support the requirements of the community and the Club, particularly as the Club conlinues to be successfully in increasing participation levels in the community.

Boys, Competitive Football A number of teams represent the club and participate in The Aberdeen & District Juvenile Football Association leagues at various levels from A League through to C League. The teams also regularly participate in both local and national cup competitions including the Scottish Cup. Girls, Competitive Football The section has historically faced challenges with participation levels being naturally lower than boys, groups, meaning that il has been challenging to support competitive teams, however the Club is very encouraged by the growth in girfs, participation and will enter competitive teams where possible in the Scottish Women's Football leagues. Most recently, the Club had a team compete at the U14 level during the 2024 season. Football For All The Football for All section operates lo remove all barriers that may exist lo football participation and offers para-foolball to those that may otherwise fa barriers to participation in other sections. The Club continues to offer a weekly session every Saturday, at Hill of Banchory (HOB) indoor hall.

Colnmunity Events & Impacts The Club routinely supports local community events such as those hosted by the Banchory Rotary Club and Run Banchory. This can range from offering manpower to offering the sale of refreshments to assist fundraising, whilst al the same time enhancing the offering of such events to the community. The club also routinely participates in activities such as litter picks. The Club has established a new relationship with Banchory Rotary Club and regularly attends their schedule of meetings. Our partnership creates a collaborative environment to address mutual issues and pool on organisational resources to deliver on multiple fronts for benefit of the local cofflmunity. Further local community engagement is also prOved by continuing to offer access lo football, including on a complimentary basis and the Club has continued to run the weekly ladies, recreation session and walking football session which encourage participation from individuals not traditionally induded in the Club's core sections. Teams also take the opportunity to promote initiatives consistent with the Club's elhos and values such as "Show Racism the Red Card" and "Football versus Homophobia.. Annual Events

BCFC Fun Day- an annual summer event to allow everyone in the club to meet and continue to build on new or exisling relationship5.

This is generally overseas and occurs during the latter slages of their progression through the club's age categories. These are funded largely by the respective teams. fundraising efforts lo reduce any financial burden on the members and numerous teams have completed successful and rewarding trips. Other- various other events are held, often on an athhoc basis and can include bul are not limited to further prizegiving events, support to local community events and social events such as discos, attendance at local Aberdeen FC football matches and organised screenings of major toumament matches. Funding Our membership fees are slfuclured to support our various activities. in terms of providing facilities to deliver our coaching, fund equipment purchases and pay for the various match related fees including associated affiliation fees and referee costs_ The club also part-funds the cost of any competitive team trip to a cost of £2.500 per trip and part-funds physiolherapy to aid treatment and recovery associated with any injuries or conditions preventing participation.

Docuslgn Envalopelo.. 49OAA66E-805tk4tW-B5PA-271698026830 In addition, the Club will look to maximise grant funding that may exist from local and national organisalions and in particular benefits frorn various schemes offered by the Scottish FA in support of various initiatives. Where use of funds is restricted to a particular purpose, it is ensured that funds are used on that basis. Future fundraising is expected to be influenced by the efforts to raise significant funds in respect of a new 3G football facility. with plans currently underway on a schedule of events. Facilities Facilities within the local communrty continue to provide a very challenging backdrop, with Ihe town currently identified as having the lowest level of facilities for football within Aberdeenshire, in particular per capita. The Club currently operates across various facilities in Banchory including King George V Park, Silverbank Park and Hill of Banchory West 7 a- side pitch. whilst supplementing these with the additional hire of other faalrties such as Hill of Banchory Astro Turf, Milton Park and Knockbum Park. These deficiencies remain a significant focus for the Board and an area it is keen to engage across all levels of the local community, council and elected officials to address as a priority. During the period the Club has progressed a potential development opportunity which would allow for the eslablishmenl of a full-size all-weather pitch and community hub at the Tillybrake playing fields, a site owned and operated by Aberdeenshire Council. The Club is advancing plans and has, amongst other steps, has submitted a planning application for installation of the facility. This is currently awarting approval. Should it be successful, it remains the intention of the Trustees that the significant portion of the clubs current cash reSoUrS will be invested in the project. Achlevements and perfomiance The Club continues to be represented within the local football leagues at all various levels and abilities and our neork of members and volunteers network Gonlinue lo make a positive impact on the wider local community through the variety of community focused initiatives in which the club participates. During the period the Club has maintained the cuent membership levels al historic highs and continued to delivef the various aclivilies in line with previous periods. In particular, Ihe potential 3G facility al Tillybrake has been progressed and if delivered could represent a step-change for the club in terms of having a recognised hub and would mitigate the need for teams to expend resources on hinng facilities, including those which are out with Banchory and therefore neSSitate Iravel. The club has generated a financial surplus of £17,062 during the period, primarily driven by increased funding due to current fee levels being in excess of recurring costs and the benefit of grant income.
