INTRODUCTION FROM THE CHAIRMAN
In my final year as Independent Chair, I am delighted to introduce East
Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture Trust’s (EDLCT) fourth Annual Report for the
year ended 31 March 2015. There has been a lot achieved and when I look back
over 2014/15 it is extremely encouraging to see the wide range of services which
EDLCT provides across East Dunbartonshire Council.
EDLCT continues to face challenges operating in the current financial climate and
has had to make savings to compensate for the reduction in our Management Fee
of 5.3% since the inception of the Trust. There will be further challenges ahead
and we will work closely with key partners to address these whilst minimising the
impact on front line services.
Despite the financial challenges, we have continued to invest in a number of
significant projects. This enables us to increase services on offer to customers and
provide them with more opportunities to lead healthier and more active lifestyles.
I am especially pleased that for the fourth year in succession EDLC has increased
membership and income at all of the gym facilities. This is commendable in the
current economic climate and with the growth of low cost competitors in the
Health and Fitness market.
For the first time in four years our annual attendances have fallen and whilst still
impressive at 1,862,788 it is nevertheless disappointing to report a 6.77% (135,000)
decrease. Whilst the Museum Service and Sports Development were able to report
an increase in attendances, there was a drop in usage of the Library Service. It is
however also encouraging that our Passport to Leisure concession scheme, which
allows discounted access to facilities and activities, has continued to grow with
206,561 visits under this scheme.
Since the inception of EDLCT, partnerships have been important to our success.
As well as the key partnership with East Dunbartonshire Council, the Trust has
developed many partnerships with agencies and organisations that have similar
aims to promote and increase participation in activities at all levels across our
communities. These partnerships have allowed EDLCT to invest in facilities and
activities which have a positive impact on the quality of life for people of East
Dunbartonshire.
The successes achieved across the Company are in no small part due to the
commitment of our employees. Once again the staff have been our greatest
resource, working extremely hard to deliver high quality services to our customers
in our facilities and the communities of East Dunbartonshire. I would like to thank
the entire team and all of our partners for their contribution to the delivery of
improved services across the area.
Finally in my last year serving on the Board of EDLC I would like to thank my fellow
Directors for their support over the last four years. I would also like to thank East
Dunbartonshire Council and employees for their continued support and assistance
which has contributed to the success of EDLCT.

As a registered Scottish charity our aim is to provide opportunities for all East
Dunbartonshire communities to participate in leisure and cultural activities.
Leisure Services aims to provide an accessible range of sport and leisure
activities at a value for money price. A key priority is to promote participation in
activities at all levels and for all sections of the community from recreational
participation to elite performers. To deliver this agenda the development
of robust and productive relationships with local sports clubs, voluntary
groups, Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS Board and national bodies such as
sportscotland are essential.
Cultural Services provides quality activities and resources which support
lifelong learning, skills development and literacy. The service enables and
promotes access to local heritage, history and a wide range of information
resources. These services are available through a network of community
buildings including libraries, a museum and an art gallery. Courses, drop in
days and festivals are promoted through seasonal heritage, art and literacy
programmes.
“Our aim is to provide opportunities
for all East Dunbartonshire
communities to participate in
leisure and cultural activities
which are accessible.”

REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Film clips
A programme of filming was completed to promote the facilities and services
provided by EDLCT. This included 360 degree imagery and allows customers to
take a virtual walk through of all of our key facilities. All of these can be found
on our website along with additional information on the activities we provide.
Libraries and Culture
Reader in Residence
From October 2014, East Dunbartonshire benefitted from having its very own
Reader in Residence for nine months. A successful funding bid to Scottish
Book Trust saw Alison Irvine, author of This Road is Red, going around the
communities of East Dunbartonshire promoting reading and its benefits.
During her time with us Alison supported Book Week Scotland, worked on
a community film project with young people in Twechar and worked with
the libraries’ Children and Families Team to devise Story Stars. This new
programme was initially delivered at Hillhead Community Centre, and offered
a weekly drama, music and singing session designed around the themes of a
children’s picture book.

Tam O’Shanter: A Tale Told in Paintings
This substantial exhibition ran from January to March 2015 at the Lillie Art
Gallery, and featured a number of works by Alexander Goudie, the celebrated
twentieth century Scottish artist. Illustrating the famous Burns poem became
an important driver in his later work, and the national importance of the
sequence of paintings was clearly identified when they were bought as a
complete collection and placed in Rozelle House, Ayrshire. A number of the
paintings were borrowed from South Ayrshire Council, and this paved the
way for a number of “add ons” to the original proposal. To complement the
paintings, East Ayrshire Leisure was approached about the possibility of
loaning three pages of the 1790 manuscript of the poem in Burns’ own hand.
The potential of the exhibition to generate additional activity was recognised,
and possible funding streams and partnerships were identified, which lead to
the creation of a programme of audience development activity and promotion
branded as TAMfest.
15
TAMfest
This wide-ranging promotion of the exhibition included a community arts
programme, a libraries programme and talks and events at the Lillie Art
Gallery. Particular highlights included performance arts sessions and
performances, Burns reading and Scots language workshops and themed
family arts sessions, which took place across all of East Dunbartonshire.
Digital Development
Recognising that access and support for new digital technologies is an
important priority, a number of initiatives have been supported over
the year.
Funding from SLIC enabled 57 library staff to undertake two days’ training in
new technologies. The training was developed and delivered by members of
the Cultural Development Team. The funding also provided a bank of mobile
devices to be provided in each library for staff to promote library services and to
help library users to use our 24/7 library. The training proved a great success,
with the knowledge and confidence of participants increasing by over 50%.
Pop up Health Library
Our new library on wheels was launched and provides communities across
East Dunbartonshire with local access to health books and information, as well
as additional provision such as talks on health-related topics. Local users are
able to check the library catalogue and self-issue and return items. Since it
came into operation, it has taken up residence at Twechar and Hillhead.

Green screen technology
Green Screen – or “chroma-keying” is a special effect whereby a green
backdrop is made transparent, and replaced with any background of your
chosen medium – including still images, photographs, film or drawings/
painting. A successful bid to the Public Libraries Improvement Fund has
provided funding for equipment and training within East Dunbartonshire
Libraries, and we are now able to offer schools and community groups Green
Screen workshops.
We had a successful launch working with authors Ross Collins, Lyn McNicol
and Laura Jackson with four Primary Schools. In addition, our Reader in
Residence has co-ordinated an eight week filming programme working with
young people at Twechar Healthy Living Centre.
Our Green Screen filming worked with pupils to support Curriculum for
Excellence and engage with them in creative and imaginative ways. This
innovative project has now been promoted nationally at two conferences on
youth engagement.
Creative writing sharing event
In November participants from reading groups came together to share their
stories with an audience at William Patrick Library. The gathered stories are
the result of work with eight library and community reading groups over six
months. The project has produced an anthology of stories which is available
on our website and on request.
Music making in nurseries
A number of local nursery schools explored local history through music, such
as the life of a miner, working as a weaver and travelling by canal and rail.
Each project has provided training for teachers and a community sharing event
and performance for parents.
Early Years Festival, 21 May – 24 May 2014
This year’s festival had ten events in total, the launch of a new parent and
child storytelling and craft activity, Arty Craft Story Daft proved to be our
most popular activity. Forty participants, including parents, grandparents and
children (aged 3 – 5) enjoyed Chae Strathie’s The Loon on the Moon and making
their own 3D space collage.
44th Annual Art Exhibition, 16 August – 18 September 2014
Local artists continue to produce a diverse and fresh approach to different
art media and subjects, including ever popular local landscapes. Artwork is
showcased at the Auld Kirk Museum.
17
Festival of Museums 16 – 18 May 2014
EDLCT secured funding and took part in the Festival of Museums. A family
fun weekend was held at the Auld Kirk Museum where there was a Roman
Legionnaire on duty and dressing and face painting for children.
Commonwealth Games
In July, East Dunbartonshire was the final stop on the Glasgow 2014
Commonwealth Games Queen’s Baton Relay prior to it going to Glasgow. The
day started at the Lillie Art Gallery, and many Trust facilities had events and
activities to support the day. One highlight was the actor Tam Dean Burns on
his bikeathon, stopping to read from a book by Julia Donaldson, the children’s
author. Kirkintilloch Leisure Centre and the Kirkintilloch Pipe Band welcomed
mascot Clyde and the local volunteer Baton Bearers and local residents
were able to sample and participate in a range of 2014 sports. Crowds were
large in the afternoon and Games mascot Clyde took part in the Technogym
Commonwealth Challenge on an exercise bike in the foyer.

Particular highlights have included:
Trails and Tales website launched March 2015
The website provides up-to-date information on the workshops, event and
volunteering opportunities available for children, young people and adults.
As well as uncovering and rediscovering old stories and tales, the aim is to
create a series of walking trails across the authority and also establish an
arts and heritage learning website for young people. The project is currently
working with a group of volunteer young people to develop new technologies
to engage people in the outdoor trails to be created in 2016/17 working with
Collective Architecture. The eight individual projects will gather information
from a wide range of communities to inform the location and content of the
final Trails. Find out more: www.trailsandtales.org
Exploring women’s hidden histories events
These events are being delivered across our towns and villages. Recently
people in Torrance and Lenzie took part in a workshop with Glasgow Women’s
Library and plotted local women who should be celebrated on maps. The
information is digitised and features on the Trails and Tales website and will be
redeveloped with walking groups in 2016 to create virtual East Dunbartonshire
Women’s History Trails.

Engaging with secondary schools
A Pecha Kucha event at William Patrick Library in November was the
culmination of work with pupils from Lenzie and Boclair Academies and
St Ninian’s and Kirkintilloch High Schools. The pupils gave creative Pecha
Kucha style presentations which connected local East Dunbartonshire artists
with wider national artists and influences to their 6th year studies Art and
Design. The artists worked closely with Art and Design teachers, some of who
have now adopted this process to support in school sixth year studies learning
and teaching.
Schools active heritage in primaries
The Trails and Tales project will be working with every primary school over
the next three years with 14/15 artists exploring local stories using drama
and visual arts. Torrance Primary investigated the story of a local family – The
Piries and used renowned artist George Pirie’s work as inspiration for pet
portraiture. A Schools’ Artwork online exhibition will launch on the Trails and
Tales website in January 2016.
Creative writing and story telling
In November participants from reading groups came together to share their local
stories with an audience at William Patrick Library. The gathered stories are
the result of a creative writer’s engagement with eight library and community
reading groups over six months. Objects and photographs from our Museums
and Archives Collection were used as stimulus for reminiscence. The project has
produced an anthology of stories, Telling Tales which is available on the Trails
and Tales website.
Music making in nurseries
Ten local school and community nurseries explored local history through
music, such as the life of a miner, working as a weaver and travelling by canal
and rail. Each individual project has provided training for nursery teachers,
a community sharing event and performance for parents. The workshops are
supported through the Music Machine education pack for schools, written and
published for East Dunbartonshire in partnership with Quavers Music. This
resource is available through EDLCT.
Training in traditional crafts with volunteers
Trails and Tales is providing training opportunities for adults in Stone Carving
and Metal Forging at two bespoke sites in Bearsden and Kirkintilloch. These
long term projects have been working with small groups of adults over 32 weeks
developing unique craft skills. These personal and collaborative projects which
will result in stone artworks and decorative metal panels being sited locally.

Cultural Coordinator Programme
Youth arts – How to Build
On the 23 March the How to Build project held a celebration event at Kilmardinny
House to share their experiences and achievements with an audience of
parents, teachers and staff. How to Build was an 18 month creative intervention
programme which worked with pupil referrals from secondary schools. Core
participants all achieved their dynamic youth award and have moved onto
sustained destinations in education, further education or work. This project was
supported by Creative Scotland’s Art and Criminal Justice Fund.
Education – The Creative Learning Network 2014/15
The Creative Learning Network (CLN) is an evolving programme of action based
research Projects which explore Creative learning and teaching with teachers
and pupils. Between March and June 2014 practitioners worked with teachers
and created a creative learning space in Clober Primary School to give teachers
the space and time for reflection and experimentation. This was supported by
a CPD programme led by artists. The evaluation demonstrated an increased
confidence in creative skills of teachers and pupils. This research will inform a
wider CLN strategy. This opportunity is funded by Education Scotland.
Youth Music Forum – Day of Singing in January 2015
A Day of Singing took place at New Kilpatrick Church, Bearsden. The event
brought secondary school and community choirs together to sing with one
another. The event aims to introduce young people to local choirs so that they
may continue singing post school. Day of Singing is hosted by Choral Master
Christopher Bell, founder of National Youth Choir of Scotland. As a result of this
event’s success it will be offered annually as part of the on-going Youth Music
Forum Programme.

in the category of ‘Local Authority/Trust Gym of the Year’. After shortlisting,
the judges opened an online voting centre and votes were cast until 30 August
2014. At the Scottish Fitness Awards ceremony at Glasgow’s SECC during the
Sport, Fitness and Nutrition Expo the Leisuredrome was crowned winners.
Queen’s Baton Relay
The Leisuredrome hosted the finale of the Queen’s Baton Relay in East
Dunbartonshire on Saturday 19 July 2014. Despite the terrible weather a large
crowd turned up to take part in a fun packed events programme including the
farewell party before the baton made its way into the host city, Glasgow.
Allander Leisure Centre
Allander Leisure Centre finished 6th in the UK for the Technogym Let’s Move
challenge. Kirkintilloch was sixth and Leisuredrome fifth.
Environment: A major energy-saving programme was introduced. There is
new energy efficient lighting pool-side and in the changing facilities. The
introduction of a new chlorine feeder has dramatically reduced the amount of
chemical required to be used to balance pool water.
Almost 1400 children attended the Play for the Day sessions during the
summer holidays enjoying the opportunity to experience a wide range of sports
activities.

APP Year One
The Athlete Performance Programme was
created through a partnership with East
Dunbartonshire Council, East Dunbartonshire
Leisure & Culture Trust and sportscotland.
Its aim is to assist talented school and club
athletes with strength, conditioning training and
lifestyle guidance to enable them to bridge the
gap between club and institute level.
In addition to identifying suitable local athletes
to support through the first year of the
programme, a fitness coach training and mentor programme was established
to ensure the sustainability beyond the initial two year funding period. An
external mentor was appointed to lead the programme and up-skill coaches at
the same time.
Year one saw 12 EDLCT gym staff trained as part of the programme along with
22 athletes (out of 117 nominations) supported between both Kirkintilloch and
Allander Leisure Centres. The programme also provides parents’ workshops
and fitness coaches work with sport specific coaches to ensure the athlete’s
programme is centred on their needs.
Feedback from year one includes:
“I think it is a fantastic programme. The training is first class, the knowledge
imparted to the athletes from coaches around fitness, nutrition and from guest
speakers about commitment and adopting correct attitude are invaluable. Many
aspects of the programme have value in everyday life.” Gordon Smith (Parent)
“Brilliant – has enabled my son to progress in his sport to number one U/17 UK
techno windsurfer – his own coach has noted his much improved fitness and
strength and it has contributed significantly to his success in this year’s racing
season.” Anne Lumb (Parent)
“As a coach it is now becoming very clear as to how far the athletes have come
since the start of the programme. This is shown in their physical abilities and
also their confidence. All are now seeing the benefits in their own chosen
sport and are daily striving to reach higher goals within their training and their
sport.” Elma MacKinnon (Fitness Coach)
“I managed to get selected for the U21’s Scotland Squad for the Europeans.
I’m delighted to be picked and I think a large part of my getting picked is down
to the APP, seeing that I had above the average bleep testing results in the
squad and the highest power per kilo of body mass. I think this reflects really
well on the programme and the coaches and I’m looking forward to seeing
further benefits of the programme.” Joe McConnell (Athlete)

Commonwealth Games
Local athletes Kris Robertson and Diane Ramsay were part of the 4 x 400m
relays for Team Scotland. Both Kris and Diane have been supported through
the East Dunbartonshire’s Elite Athlete grant fund for over six years and before
this was in place both regularly received talented sports performer grants from
the sports council. Kris also coached our sports hall athletics and Startrack
courses in the Leisuredrome for several years in between training and
competing. Diane even attended one of the courses Kris was coaching when
she first started out in athletics.
Other local athletes (or those who previously lived in East Dunbartonshire)
who made up part of Team Scotland included athlete Beth Potter who ran
a fantastic 10,000m finishing fifth with a personal best, swimmers Michael
Jamieson (silver medallist), Jack Thorpe and Calum Tait and Imogen Bankier in
badminton.
Louise Renwicks, Judo gold medallist, was involved in delivering some Judo
taster sessions in East Dunbartonshire with Pro Judo (Brian Long).
Some of our Athlete Performance Fitness Coaches were fortunate enough to
see Ross Murdoch in training at the institute prior to the Games when they
were invited through for a visit along with a Q&A session with Ross’s coach.
Queen’s Baton Relay
East Dunbartonshire was the last area the Baton passed through before
being handed over to Glasgow in the week leading up to the Commonwealth
Games. On Saturday 19 July 2014 many of our local sporting heroes were
given the opportunity to carry the Baton stopping off for photo opportunities
with local residents at venues such as Lillie Art Gallery, Leisure Centres and
Community Sports Hubs. The Baton began in Bearsden, travelled throughout
the main towns and villages with more than 12,000 people flocking to see
and hold the Baton as it passed through East Dunbartonshire – cheering over
100 local heroes who helped to carry it on its journey. The day closed with a
celebration event at the Leisuredrome in Bishopbriggs where Baton Bearers,
volunteers and invited guests met up and enjoyed some hospitality and musical
entertainment at the end of the day.

EDLCT Commonwealth Camps 2014
“Best Week Ever!” was the quote from a satisfied parent, whose children attend
other sports development activities, at the end of week one.
A fun packed week of mixed sports for primary school age children based on the
XX Commonwealth Games. An average of 45 children attended each of the camps
that were held at all three leisure centres.
Children took part in different sports every hour from 9am – 4pm. On day five a
mini games was held with all sports that had been tried during the previous four
days.
The older group of children took part in a timed triathlon on the Thursday and for
them it seemed to be the highlight of the week.
To finish, all children were presented with a certificate and a 2014 medal, as well
as t-shirts, wristbands, water bottles and information on all clubs taking part
during the week.
Based on the success of the camps, work will begin on planning for 2015. Legacy
banding will still apply, however the plan will be to introduce two or three new
sports to the week which will further enhance the product.
A total of 143 children attended the camps over the three week period, of which
12 (8.4%) were passport to leisure holders.
Coach and volunteer awards 2014

Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games – legacy book
‘Our Games, Our Legacy’ was a jointly funded project between Active Schools,
EDLCT and East Dunbartonshire Council that aimed to:
>Showcase the local schools sporting achievements through the creation of
their personal Active Schools’ Challenge Book
>Create messages of support for the Games that were passed from school to
school within the Active Schools Challenge Baton
>Create ‘Our Games Our Legacy’ magazine to leave a lasting record of the
importance of Glasgow 2014 Games to East Dunbartonshire.
The project demonstrated how the Games inspired not only sporting participation
across schools in East Dunbartonshire but was also a vehicle for learning within
the curriculum.
Celebrate: 2014 Commonwealth Club
The aim of the Celebrate 2014 Commonwealth Clubs was to raise the profile of
the 2014 Commonwealth Games, increase awareness of local sports club and
engage local volunteers. The project was funded by the Big Lottery’s Celebrate
fund and managed by Active Schools.
Eight local sports clubs were invited to deliver a
five week block of activity in a variety of sports,
such as Gymnastics, Athletics, Judo and Dance.
Two blocks of sessions ran across four locations
in East Dunbartonshire, targeting a range of age
groups depending on local gaps in provision
(identified through ASMO). In total 239 children
took part with 11 club coaches voluntarily
delivering the sessions. The activities were also
supported by Lead 2014 senior pupils from the
local.
Funding was also used to deliver activities for
pupils with additional support needs within

Arts in the community
Youth Music Forum
January saw a very successful Day of singing at New Kilpatrick Church.
200 people took part in the Day of Singing with an audience of 50 coming along
for the latter part of the day. Christopher Bell, director of the Scottish Youth
Orchestra coordinated the day, bringing young people and community choirs
together through song. As a result of its success this will now be an annual event
in East Dunbartonshire.
Book Week Scotland Artworks on Libraries
We were successful in our bid to make Lennoxtown Library the site of one of this
year’s artworks. The judges felt that a case had been made for a piece of art to
celebrate the library in Lennoxtown and mark its transition to a new building in
2015. Bobby Sayers, a Glasgow based artist worked with community groups to
produce an artwork which was unveiled during Book Week Scotland.
>There is a continued partnership with East Dunbartonshire Council Community Learning and Development Service and the Community Safety
Partnership to run the nationally recognised Kirkintilloch Leisure Centre
629 Youth Programme at Kirkintilloch Leisure Centre. Kirkintilloch Leisure
Centre 629 is a partnership programme involving leisure centre staff,
East Dunbartonshire Council colleagues, local community, police, and other
service providers which enables free to use access of all areas of Kirkintilloch
Leisure Centre to young people aged up to 18 on Saturday nights from 6pm
to 9pm. It attracts up to 180 plus young people every weekend, who go
swimming, play sport in the main hall and outside courts as well as using
the Gym. The other providers bring in specialists from time to time to talk
about lifestyle issues and to engage with the young people attending.
The programme was positively highlighted in a CLD local area evaluation
as a model of good practice earlier in the year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
For the year ended 31 March 2015
Overall incoming resources have increased by £73k however £69k relates to
pension scheme returns. The management service fee decreased by £37k on
the prior year: £135k due to budget savings, partially offset by an increase to
the repairs and maintenance budget from East Dunbartonshire Council (£97k).
Total membership fees rose by £76k, primarily due to increased subscriptions,
although admission charges decreased by £59k. Total grant income rose by £22k.
Total resources expended decreased by £19k: the previous year contained some
one-off maintenance and development expenditure. Efficiencies achieved in
these areas have broadly offset the annual increase in payroll costs.
A net deficit of £40.8k was recorded in the year: £39.3k of this is from operating
activities and a further £1.4k from restricted funds. The net deficit on restricted
funds was due to the delayed timing in some grant income. Write off of small
restricted fund balances meant £1.4k being transferred from the operating fund
to the restricted fund. The overall impact was a net decrease of £2,876k on funds
following an actuarial loss on the defined pension scheme of £2,836k.
Funds position per the balance sheet decreased by £2,876k mainly due to the
actuarial loss. Fixed assets and net current assets increased slightly by £158k.
Funds balance includes an unrestricted reserve of £685k of which £500k is
held for contingencies. Designated funds have been set up for Board approved
developments.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds that have been set aside for a specific
purpose, which will be utilised during the next and future accounting periods
against specific expenditure for asset improvement.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific
restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for
particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are
charged against the specific fund. The aim of each restricted fund is set out in
the notes to the financial statements in the audited accounts.
