What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We are primarily set up to provide coaching in football to all age groups in a secure and safe environment, with the view of making each person more socially aware and to mix with others to provide them with necessary skills for the future, with this we also are aware that this also benefits all the coaching/ helpers to feel part of building a future for everyone. Our Mini World Cup allows all the children and youths to mix and play football together where more points are allocated to the younger players, which helps get them involved, it works well, we also hold a Football Festival which attracts over 1000 children to our facility to play football. We support our teams to visit other Festivals, with our U16 girls travelling to Barcelona this year. We also support other s by making donations to worthwhile causes.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
