Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period |
The club is currently fundraising for an artificial pitch and has raised £149,000 after expenses. We will continue our fundraising efforts throughout 2026 and will also seek support from the Scottish FA, Sport Scotland, and corporate sponsorship partners. Our aspiration is to complete the build in 2026. West End continues to grow year on year, with new age groups being added and participation increasing across the club. We now have 450 players, including 120 girls, reflecting the strength of our community and the demand for high-quality football opportunities. Having our own all-weather facility would bring significant benefits to the club, supporting player development, improving training consistency, and providing a long-term home for our growing membership. |
