Christmas is a time for giving and once again we're calling on the fantastic support of St Roch's Football club and its local community to help make a difference to those who need it.

We're collecting toys and gifts to help bring a little Christmas magic to children and families who need it most. Every donation, big or small, will be hugely appreciated. 

You can donate at James McGrory Park on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday between 11am and 2pm and at any home matches. 

Cash donations and bank transfers are also gratefully accepted and all cash donated will be used towards toys for the appeal.

Your generosity can help put a smile on a child's face this Christmas.

Annual Report & Accounts Submission 

The St Roch's FC Charitable Trust have submitted our first annual report and accounts to the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator (OSCR). The details can be found on the OSCR website.

The trustees were happy to approve the report and accounts at our inaugural annual general meeting.

As noted in the annual report, with the help of National Lottery funding, a key highlight for the Trust during our first year was the ability to support the development of youth football activity. At present, we are supporting a 2014 age group (15 players) and a 2016 age group (8 players), each with three registered coaches. We look forward to helping this the expand in the future.

The St Roch's FC Charitable Trust are thrilled and very grateful to have received funding from two sources to help meet our vision and support our aims.

The National Lottery Community Fund's Play Without Barriers fund has made an award of £4765 to support increasing participation in football at youth level.

The Flutter/Sported Cash4Clubs initiative has made an award of £2000 to support keeping adults engaged in sport and physical acrivity.

The inaugural meeting of the St Roch's FC Charitable trust was held on Monday 31st of March at James McGory Park where a chairman, secretary and treasurer were appointed.
