APPENDIX 1 Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of Over the past year, Houston United has continued to deliver meaningful football and personal development the charity during the financial period opportunities to young people across our community. We provided weekly and, in many cases, twice-weekly coaching sessions to approximately 450 participants. Our programme promotes positive behavioural habits, teamwork, a strong work ethic, resilience, and a genuine sense of belonging, alongside the development of football skills. Across all age groups, our teams competed in regional leagues, achieving varying levels of competitive success while consistently prioritising character development, respect, and positive attitudes above results. In response to growing demand, we established new teams for the 2019 and 2020 age groups, ensuring a clear and inclusive pathway for younger players to join and progress within the club. This expansion reflects both the strength of our community reputation and our commitment to providing opportunities at every stage of early development. Our dedicated team of 45 volunteer coaches continued to engage in ongoing coach education, strengthening the quality and safety and consistency of the experience we provide. Their commitment remains central to the positive environment we strive to create. Beyond weekly training and matches, we enhanced the overall player experience through team-building opportunities, including visits to Premiership football matches. These experiences foster inspiration, camaraderie, and lasting memories, helping young people build friendships and confidence both on and off the pitch. As a registered charity, inclusion remains at the heart of our mission. We have continued to expand participation within SIMD communities, actively reducing barriers to access and ensuring that financial circumstances do not prevent young people from taking part. Through targeted fundraising initiatives, we have supported families in accessing opportunities that might otherwise have been unaffordable. Throughout the year, we celebrated achievements across the club while encouraging reflection and learning from challenging outcomes, reinforcing resilience and personal growth. Finally, we prepared the Houston United Development Plan for stakeholder discussion, setting out a long term vision to establish a permanent home for the club. This plan represents a significant step towards securing sustainable facilities that will benefit current and future generations of players. Collectively, these achievements demonstrate our ongoing commitment to developing not only better footballers, but confident, respectful and community minded young people.

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) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees
	consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) 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 independent examiner’s statement	My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. 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 seeks
	explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken
	do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do
	not express an audit opinion on the viewgiven bythe accounts.
Independent examiner’s	In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than that
statement	disclosed on the attached page*]
	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 comply with
	Regulation 9 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.
