Objectives and activities
Charitable purposes
The Company's Objects are to advance the education of the people of the Kingdom of Mourne, Ulster and beyond, concerning the History, Culture, Arts and Leisure, Literature, Language, Song, Dance, Drama and Musical Heritage of the Ulster Scots Tradition.
Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from the purpose of our organisation are an increased knowledge and awareness of Ulster-Scots within the Kingdom of Mourne, Ulster and beyond. Through training, workshops and events organised by our Society, many people both locally and from further afield obtain experience and qualifications in the music, dance, history and culture of the Ulster-Scots and enjoy many of the social activities associated with the Schomberg Society. These benefits are evidenced through the large numbers of people attending our events including festivals, summer schools, workshops, training courses and other activities which have been well documented in both the local press and media and through regular evaluations and monitoring. We can see no harm by any of the purposes of our charity. The charity's beneficiaries are the general public in the Kingdom of Mourne, Ulster and beyond. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is that there is a small number of paid staff and this is incidental and necessary because they are essential to the running of the organisation.
What your organisation does
The Schomberg Society Kiikeel Ltd carries out the role of an umbrella and support organisation in the greater Mournes. The Society has established Ulster-Scots hubs at Reivers House, Kilkeel and Tha Hairtlan Hub in Kilkeel which is the organisational base for numerous and concentrated Ulster-Scots activities. These activities include: Classes and tuition in highland and lowland dance, fiddle, fife, flute, accordion, drum majoring, pipes and drum. Classes in drama, arts and crafts. Provision of Ulster-Scots Summer Schools and overseeing the broadcasting of an Ulster-Scots community radio station. Provides a safe environment for senior citizens, ladies and mens groups including a Men's Shed, victims and veterans who meet regularly in both centres. Workshop and training programmes: child protection, first aid, food/hygiene, good governance, event safety, marshalling, designated person, etc. Engagement with local primary schools and youth organisations and assisting both teachers and pupils to be aware of their Ulster Scots Traditions and culture, and to make available to schools elements of our Ulster-Scots dance, music and language by means of specially prepared workshops. The Society also endeavors to reach out to other communities who traditionally have little awareness or knowledge of Ulster-Scots by use of literature and informative talks/debates and outreach programmes. The Society also uses networking with all existing and potential community groups to further generate an interest in all things Ulster-Scots. All of the above are carried out by the Society in either a voluntary capacity or subsidised by grant funding and are not for profit. The Society organises and runs an annual summer Ulster-Scots festival with numerous activities attracting large crowds which is free to everyone, along with other cultural festivals and events throughout the year.

The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) shows the gross income from all sources.
Overview

in total £345,885 was spent on the activities of -he charity.
Balance Sheet
Net funds where positive at £421,254 as at 31 March 2025
Reserves Policy
The reserves policy was agreed following an analysis of the following four factors: Forecasts for levels of income in future years taking into account the reliability of each source of income and the prospects for opening up new sources; Forecasts for expenditure in the future years in the basis of planned activity; Analysis of any future needs, opportun:ties, contingencies or risks, the effects of which are not likely to be met out of income if and when they arise; and Assessment of the likelihood of each of those needs and risks materialising and the potential consequences of the charity not being able to meet them.
The charity's policy is to maintain a level of free reserves which meets the needs of the Charity both at the current time and for the foreseeable future. Free reserves are its total funds excluding restricted funds, designated funds or income funds which can only be released by disposing of fixed assets held for charity use.
Investment Policy
Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for long term investment.

Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
° income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
« legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
e income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
e income from contracts for the supcly of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a perticular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis asa liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, end is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
e expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and <he sale of donated goods.
-
e expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable ams for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
e other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Year ended 31 March 2025
- Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Long leasehold property - 5% straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such incicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asse: belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

- Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
- Limited by guarantee
The Society is a Company Limited by Guarantee, not having a share capital.
