Highlights
During the year we continued to grow on the foundations laid down in the period since the founding of the charity.
Community Football The Community football programme continued during the year, offering football and nursery age football - there were 12 year groups taking part and 17 teams competing.
Our women's team, having been promoted to SWPL Premier 1, competed strongly but unfortunately they were relegated at the end of the season.
Partnership Schools
We continued to run the successful extra-time programme in a number of primary schools in the southside of the city.
Food Poverty Through the very generous donations of the Queens Park supporters, local people and community organisations we were able to donate food and clothing parcels across disadvantaged communities.
Donations and Funding
At 30 June 2025, our principal funder announced that support was stopping. Since that date into the Financial Year to 30 June 2026, we have streamlined our activities and maintained only activities which are sustainable within the overall sustainability of the foundation.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Queen's Park FC Foundation
| report on the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025 set out on pages four to nine.
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's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c} of the 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 the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
-
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :
-
{1) | 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; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
