ALBURY COMMUNITY SPORTS HUB (ACSH) SCOTTISH CHARITY NUMBER – SC051926

Annual Report for Year ended December 31[st] 2025

The Charity currently has 116 Members from which the Board of Trustees is appointed.

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with a Receipts and Payments accounting policy for small charities.

Trustees below have all served between the AGM 18.2.2025 and 31.12.2025:-

The Objectives of the Charity as defined on the OSCR website are:-

1 the advancement of public participation in sport
2 the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the citizens of Aberdeen and environs, and in furtherance of this by:-
3 carrying on the undertakings associated with the provision of the Albury Community Sports Hub (ACSH) in the City of Aberdeen
4 making available for the public benefit facilities for the practise of Tennis, Bowling, Putting, Croquet Petanque and such other outdoor sports and indoor activities as the trustees may determine.
5 working in partnership with other bodies to achieve the purposes.

Activities during the 2025 season (mid-April to mid-September). Pay and Play users have used ACSH facilities regularly and appreciate the range of sports offered. Our team of regular volunteers are highly valued for their support of the Hub - we could not do without them! Throughout the year “Open Access users” (annual subscribers) access the facilities by using the gate code, mainly using the Tennis Courts which are registered with the Lawn Tennis Association. We have a trained and accredited Welfare Officer.

As well as providing tennis, pickleball, bowling, putting, petanque and croquet, the Hub has hosted a weekly Walking Group and a free weekly afternoon of social sport in partnership with Sport Aberdeen for a range of people including refugees, asylum seekers and those with health issues. The Tennis Courts, Bowling Green and Croquet Lawn are used for competitions and the Hub itself has held two very successful open Putting competitions. The green is the only 18 hole extant in the city.

The local Academy used the tennis courts for curricular purposes, and the local primary school used the facilities for tennis, bowling and putting during the school session, a dedicated volunteer providing much

appreciated coaching. The Financial Report provides details of income and spend during 2025, noting that income from Pay and Play has remained almost the same as 2024 – increased by 0.02%.

Sport Aberdeen, the arms-length trust which manages the facility on behalf of Aberdeen City Council, continues to work with the Hub Trustees providing hugely valuable support to enable achievement of our objectives.

Future Plans. A Community consultation was held in the autumn of 2025, and several people have expressed interest in becoming involved in the running of the Hub, especially filling some key positions in its management. A large grant has been awarded by Aberdeen City Council to replace the dilapidated fencing surrounding the tennis courts, and the Trustees will manage the project jointly with Sport Aberdeen during spring 2026.

Financial Review The principal sources of income are from annual subscription fee payers and seasonal Pay and Play facilities users. Redwood Bank holds most of our finances in an interest-bearing account while the Bank of Scotland Business (Charity) Account is used for all day-to-day transactions.
