| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Period 2 October 2023 to 31 October 2024 |
| ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
| Charitable activities |
| The charity GSC Auldhouse was formed with a clear vision and mission: |
| - | to provide, operate and manage a community sports facility which supports sporting participation and community development through ensuring the GSC Auldhouse facility is a hub for local people to receive targeted support and build the connections required to tackle social inequality and exclusion |
| To deliver this work, developing the facility to a level where it was capable of becoming a community asset was the primarily focus of the charity's output this year. This work fell into two key facets: |
| 1. Facility development |
| The construction of two 4G pitches at GSC Auldhouse was at the heart of the charity's strategic direction and mission. The local area is critically short of sporting facilities which are accessible and resilient against Scotland's climate. By engaging with the social investment community we delivered a funding package of £1.5 million to deliver the build of these pitches. This faith from our funding partners was grounded in a belief in our vision of people and all our neighbours in Eastwood, Manswood and all across Glasgow South, regardless of age or background would benefit for a community facility powered by sport and with a reach extending way beyond football. To get there, GSC Auldhouse: |
| - | oversaw key phases of the construction project working closely with consultants (paid and voluntary) and a construction team. Daily engagement and careful financial governance was key to the process. Ensuring that the site was accessible for the community was also prioritised e.g. accessible for Assisted Needs players and spectators. |
| - | continued to develop the GSC Auldhouse pavilion with a programme of improvements to ensure it could become a welcoming 'home-from-home' for the community. |
| Key achievements: |
| - | the majority of one 4G pitch was developed with playing surface and landscaping completed with the second pitch underway. |
| - | cosmetic improvements were made to the pavilion to ensure it was a comfortable gathering space for community. |
| 2. Establishing a community presence |
| GSC Auldhouse was established to serve the local people and unlock the potential of a facility that had been unavailable to the community for generations. In tandem with our work developing the facility, we gathered insights around local needs in the community while developing the capacity to deliver services to match these needs. |
| Key achievements: |
| - | liaising with local people to understand how the new charity might be able to help them and addressing logistical concerns. |
| - | building relationships with local elected officials so the work of GSC Auldhouse can be aligned. |
| - | engagement with local organisations who we could partner with e.g. Go Connect partnership in Arden. |
| All this preparatory work, allied to our broader business plan informed work to develop a job specification for a General Manager whose job it will be to lead the delivery of the key outputs of GSC Auldhouse. Refining the scope of this role was also a key undertaking during this period in preparation for a recruitment process at end of 2024. |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| Principal funding sources |
| Grant providers relating to the sports industry are the main source of funding for this project. |

| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Period 2 October 2023 to 31 October 2024 |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| Investment policy and objectives |
| Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charitable company has the power to invest in any way the trustees wish. The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of running the projects, have operated a policy of retaining funds in low risk investments, such as interest bearing bank accounts. |
| Reserves policy |
| The majority of the charity's funds are deemed to be restricted and represent the investment net of funding received made to create the facility at Auldhouse. Going forward it is the trustees intention to build up the level of unrestricted funds through the renting out of the facility for grassroots football as well as generating income from commercial activities. These income streams, along with grant funding, will enable a range of social and community out reach programmes to be delivered. The relatively low level of unrestricted funds reflects that the site is not yet operational and is yet to generate any trading income. |
| The total level of unrestricted reserves at 31 October 2024 was £9,816 (deficit). Total restricted funds at 31 October 2024 was £684,293. |
| Going concern |
| GSC Auldhouse will provide a first class football facility for the benefit of the local community and have a long term tenant in place (Giffnock Soccer Centre) who will provide the bulk of rental income. Cashflow projections for the next 12 months and beyond have been prepared which lead the trustees to conclude that they have no concerns regarding the future of the charity. |
| FUTURE PLANS |
| Work to complete the development of the two new astro pitches has been completed and following successful test events in May and June 2025, the pitches are now ready for use with effect from 1 July 2025. A new General Manager to drive the charity's community programme was recruited in January 2025. Contracts have been agreed with a range of local businesses which will see advertising banners for these businesses erected around the new pitches, with the potential to generate additional revenues as more banners are installed. The trustees will move on to focus on the operational running of the facility to ensure that the maximum benefit of the facility is realised. |

| STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The trustees (who are also the directors of GSC Auldhouse Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | observe the methods and principles in the Charity 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; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. |
| The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| In so far as the trustees are aware: |
| - | there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and |
| - | the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, O'Haras Accountants Limited (Statutory Auditor), will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. |
| Approved by order of the board of trustees on |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees and Members of |
| GSC Auldhouse Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of GSC Auldhouse Limited (the 'charitable company') for the period ended 31 October 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 October 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the period then ended; |
| - | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and |
| - | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. |
| 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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. |
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| 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 charitable company'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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. |
| Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
| In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
| - | the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees and Members of |
| GSC Auldhouse Limited |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006; the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
| - | the charitable company has not kept proper and adequate accounting records; or |
| - | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or |
| - | certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or |
| - | the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees. |
| Responsibilities of trustees |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees 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 charitable company'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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees and Members of |
| GSC Auldhouse Limited |
| Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
| We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with the Acts 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the sports industry in which it operates. We made enquiries of management as to whether there were any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud, and reviewed available board minutes for any indication of such matters. |
| - We gained an understanding of management's internal controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities in their day-to-day operations. |
| - We considered laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Accounts (Scotland Regulations 2006 (as amended), the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities SORP. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement components. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management and enquiries of relevant third parties.Part of these tests also included considering the regulations of the Office of Scottish Charity Regulator and other regulations like GDPR, anti money laundering and health and safety. |
| - We considered how fraud might occur in this company and designed our tests accordingly. |
| - As in all audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including reviewing journals, reviewing for any large or unusual transactions, looking for evidence of window dressing and any transactions outwith the charity's normal operations, focusing on any accounting estimates and judgements and any undisclosed related party transactions and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees and Members of |
| GSC Auldhouse Limited |
| Use of our report |
| This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, and to the charitable company'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 charitable company's members and the trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

| Notes to the Financial Statements |
| for the Period 2 October 2023 to 31 October 2024 |
| 1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
| The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. The charity has availed itself of paragraph 3 (3) of Schedule 4 of the Companies Act 2006 and adapted the Companies Act formats to reflect the special nature of the charity's activities. |
| Going concern |
| The trustees continue to be satisfied that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operation for the next 12 months. Consequently, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for income and expenditure during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| There are no key sources of estimation uncertainty. |
| Income |
| All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
| Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. |
| Expenditure |
| Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
| Charitable activities costs comprises of costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its day to day activities and services. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |

| 1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Taxation |
| The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |
| Fund accounting |
| Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees and in furtherance of the objects of the charity. |
| Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |
| Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |
| Debtors |
| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
| Cash at bank and in hand |
| Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash for the building of football pitches. |
| Creditors |
| Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due. |
