Since March 2019, we have been delighted to be working with Scottish Athletics to provide support to their member clubs around reviewing legal structures and incorporation in the following areas:

• Preparing constitution
• Draft special resolution for AGM/EGM notice
• Submit SCIO application, constitution and charity trustee declaration forms to OSCR
• Process of transferring assets, undertakings and liabilities, where required
• Support to dissolve the unincorporated club

We are an ongoing support agency to AM Soccer Club, a Fife based charitable football club.

To date, we’ve helped the club benefit through:

• Registration and claiming Gift Aid with HMRC
• Applying for grant funding to support and develop their activities
• The implementation of new membership and payment management systems

Since Club Development Scotland been working with AM Soccer, the club’s turnover has increased 32%.

We supported St Mirren Independent Supporters Association (SMISA) with their takeover of St Mirren FC by undertaking a report into St Mirren’s financial position.

Speaking about Club Development Scotland’s support, David Nicol, SMISA Board member said:

“The deal for ourselves and Gordon Scott to buy St Mirren was a year in the making, and the team at Club Development Scotland/Supporters Direct were with us from the start.

In 2020, we helped Kennoway Star Hearts register with HMRC for the purposes of claiming gift aid.

Speaking on our support, Calum Doctor, club chairman said:

“From the first contact between us as a Club and Club Development Scotland to the end, the advice, information, and service was superb. We can’t speak highly enough of Andrew and his team and would have no concerns in recommending Club Development Scotland to other clubs and associations. If required, we will certainly be going back.”
