The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended), the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).
The charitable objectives of the Hibernian Community Foundation are:
The advancement of public participation in sport in Scotland through the promotion, alone or in conjunction with others, of participation in football and other sporting activities and acting as advisors in relation to the development of football and other sporting activities.
The advancement of health in Scotland by the promotion, alone or in conjunction with others, of the benefits of physical activity and provision of assistance in relation to sports-related and healthy lifestyle matters.
The advancement of community development in Scotland by promoting, alone or in conjunction with others, participation in football clubs and other sports, diversionary, activities and citizenship to a cross section of the community.
The advancement of education in the community in Scotland by promoting, alone or in conjunction with others, football and other sports, literacy, numeracy, life skills, and social activities to a cross section of the community.
The promotion of equality and diversity by encouraging participation and integration into a range of inclusive and accessible programmes which strive to bring together a cross section of the community; and such other charitable objects as is charitable, not falling under the preceding sub-clauses and that may reasonably be regarded as similar to any of the preceding objects.
2023/24 was a year of significant change and growth for the charity. Income more than doubled in the year, which allowed the expansion of services for children in the main, but also for vulnerable groups in the community.
The focus of the charity’s work reflected the interim strategy launched in the previous year. That is, alleviating the impact of cost of living crisis, addressing social isolation and loneliness in the community, support for those newly arrived in Scotland (New Scots) and the provision of community football for all ages and capabilities.
The latter strategic aim led to the charity initially exploring closer working with Team United – a smaller charity that builds skills and confidence of autistic children using the power of football. A meeting of minds took place when the respective boards took the decision to merge, with the view to offering even more autistic and neurodiverse children the opportunity regularly to play football. The merge was formalised on 1 September 2023, with the former CEO of Team United, Ann Brown, joining the Foundation as Head of Para Football. A second member of staff, under TUPE arrangements, also joined the Foundation.
At the time of the merger, Team United worked with 18 grassroots and charity-arms of professional clubs, supporting each to run a team for neurodiverse children aged 10-16. 220 children were participating in the programme.
In October 2023, the Foundation were awarded £150,000 by the SFA, in its partnership with the Scottish government, to engage school aged children in physical activity and supporting parents with employment. This enabled the launch of Ron Gordon’s Extra Time which allowed up to 60 children from five local primary schools to benefit, each receiving up to 10 hours of supervised activity, including football sessions, games as well as hot meals provided in the Community Hub at Easter Road Stadium.
While the merger and Ron Gordon’s Extra Time accounted for the growth in services for children, the on-going development of the Community Hub enabled the expansion of services for vulnerable people in the community. Thanks to a growing and amazingly committed group of volunteers, meal provision grew to over 1,000 lunch and dinner servings a month. A pantry service offering essential groceries and free barber service were introduced, and Empty Kitchen, Full Hearts provide 30-40 home meal parcels a week for collection from the Hub. Social activities such as Hibs Memories, Monday Matchday Board Games, and Hibs Community Choir continued to attract good numbers, with the latter performing on special occasions, including match days. Activities to improve physical health continued or were introduced, such as chair yoga, Tai Chi and tea-dances; the latter were organised with neighbouring community charities and attracted over 130 guests. The charity’s commitment to men’s mental health continued with the running of the Changing Room and Supporting Our Supporters.
In community football, operations grew with the establishment of two hubs within high schools Trinity Academy and Leith Academy. These enabled after-school sessions to be delivered to new age groups, in greater numbers and girls-only groups. In the community academy programme, the 2011 boys’ team became the first children’s 11-aside team the Foundation has operated (winning two of the three competitions in its first season!).
The introduction of the SFA’s Next Generation for the most promising girls and women across Scotland saw the Foundation’s U14s, U16s and U18s teams enter the top tier of the programme. This was a reflection of the charity’s commitment to improving the facilities, coaching and support given to developing players at this level.
In fundraising, the charity ran its most successful Christmas Appeal, the highlight of which was the organising of Christmas Day Lunch for 500. This saw 335 people receiving a three-course meal in the stadium, and 172 meals being delivered to homes in Edinburgh. A Christmas online auction, the Kiltwalk (attracting over 300 participants including the men’s first team), a second year of The Ron Gordon Challenge and David Gray’s Cycle for Neurodiverse Children, which saw 50 fans cycle 53 miles with players/coaches from Hamden Park to Easter Road Stadium, all helped make 2023/24 a record breaking fundraising year.
In April 2024, the club began its extensive re-development of the Famous Five Stand, which meant the closure for five months of the Community Hub, and the de-canting of services to neighbouring locations.
The board of the Foundation remain deeply indebted to the generosity and goodwill of the Hibs family – the football club, the fans, volunteers, partner charities and groups, and of course our diverse range of funders that enable the Foundation to remain a force for good in the community.
The charity has recorded a deficit of £4,191 for the year (2023: deficit of £1,142). Income increased by 104% from £435,456 in the prior year to £886,853 in 2024 largely due to the merger with Team United. The Company has a balance sheet comprising funds totalling £170,635 (2023: £174,826), including net current assets of £169,331 (2023: £174,752).
Reserves policy
Hibernian Community Foundation organises community programmes and football sessions for people of all ages at the club’s stadium and across the Lothians. Income is derived from a range of partnerships with charities, grantmakers, associations and companies, and by organising pay-to-play football sessions and fundraising events and appeals. Funds are retained by the directors in the form of an unrestricted reserve to enable the charity to continue to operate for a period of time should a sudden change of circumstances disrupt the anticipated flow of income to the charity. The directors would wish to protect programmes that provide direct support to people from low-household incomes, such as its lunch clubs and the supply of food packages, and those which provide relief to people living in isolation, through social and health-related activities held in the stadium and on sports pitches. The directors would also wish to provide some security to the valued staff team and continue appropriately to remunerate them for their services. On this basis, the directors choose to retain funds that represent between two to four months of operating costs and associated overheads. These are estimated to be £70,000 per month, equating to a free reserve of between £140,000 and £280,000. The directors review this policy on an annual basis.
Investment policy
The Trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of running the charity, have kept available funds in an interest-bearing account and seek to maximise interest where practicable.
Risk Management
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those risks related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the Charity’s exposure to such risks. The Charity’s Risk Register is reviewed by the Board of Directors on an annual basis.
The board aims to continue the grow the Foundation’s work by engaging with more members of the local community, developing both its free-to-play and pay-to-play football sessions and consolidating growth that has been achieved in para football.
There are plans grow the provision of community meals, and developing services that will benefit service users, such as participating in volunteering and social activities. This work relies heavily on an exceptionally committed volunteers, and the Foundation aims to professionalise its recognition and reward of everyone who gives up their time to further its work.
The Community Hub space is proving to be a valued resource in the community, with local people, groups and charities making use of the space and its facilities. Developing the range of community services offered from the Hub remains a priority, while ensuring those from low-income households and marginalised groups stand to benefit the most. Greater evening and weekend use of the space is anticipated.
Building relations with Hibernian FC, its board, staff, players, coaches and supporters, has proved enormously successful to date. Every effort will be made to continue to enable this relationship to flourish.
The charity is a company limited by guarantee having no share capital and is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 27 June 2008. The Company is registered as a charity in Scotland.
The trustees of the charity comprise a Chairperson and Board Members who possess relevant knowledge, skills and abilities to further the aims of the charity. At present, the Foundation’s constitution does not stipulate terms of tenure for directors, but it is expected that this will be introduced in the next financial year. The Board includes the chief executive officer of Hibernian Football Club.
In addition, the trustees may appoint additional trustees to replace any trustee who resigns or dies mid-term or to fill a vacancy that may arise. Any such trustee appointed must first be approved by the trustees as having the appropriate capabilities to perform the duties of trustee in the best interests of the charity.
The Board of Directors control the overall operations of the Foundation.

The trustees, who are also the directors of Hibernian Community Foundation Limited for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Thomson Cooper were appointed as auditor to the company and a resolution proposing that they be re-appointed will be put at a General Meeting.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Hibernian Community Foundation Limited (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or
proper accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
We considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: existence and timing of recognition of income, posting of unusual journals along with complex transactions and non-compliance with laws and regulations. We discussed these risks with management, designed audit procedures to test the timing and existence of revenue, tested a sample of journals to confirm they were appropriate and inspected minutes from meetings held by management and trustees for any reference to breaches of laws and regulations. In addition, we reviewed areas of judgement for indicators of management bias to address these risks.
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience through discussion with the officers and other management (as required by the auditing standards).
We reviewed the laws and regulations in areas that directly affect the financial statements including applicable charity and company law and considered the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
With the exception of any known or possible non-compliance with relevant and significant laws and regulations, and as required by the auditing standards, our work in respect of these was limited to enquiry of the officers and management of the charity.
We communicated identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance or fraud throughout the audit. However the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with the trustees.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
These inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed to avoid detection, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or the provision of intentional misrepresentations.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Other matters
In the previous accounting period, the trustees considered that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) did not apply. Therefore, the prior year’s financial statements were not subject to audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Thomson Cooper is eligible for appointment as auditor of the charity by virtue of its eligibility for appointment as auditor of a company under section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006.
The statement of financial activities includes all gains and losses recognised in the year. All income and expenditure derive from continuing activities.
Hibernian Community Foundation Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is Easter Road Stadium, 12 Albion Place, Edinburgh, EH7 5QG.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended), the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Academy and holiday camp income is recognised in the period in which the related activities occur, regardless of when the payment is received. Income that is received in advance is recognised as deferred income and recognised in the period in which the service is provided.
Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Income is deferred when performance related grants are received in advance of the performances or event to which they relate.
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
