Objectives and activities
| Objectives and activities | |
|---|---|
| Charitable purposes Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects |
The Trust is dedicated to the stimulation of public interest in the character and history of Corstorphine and encourages the preservation, development and improvement of features of general public amenity or historic interest. Grants are made available to worthy and needy individuals and clubs based on a sub-committee’s discretion. |
| The Trust continued to add artefacts to the museum collection and photographs and documents to our archives. Some additions were purchased but we are constantly encouraged by donations from families with connections to the Village. The Corstorphine Astoria Centre is once again busy with many adult and children’s activities taking part within its walls. The 2/4 Ingram Organ is now fully restored and is often used. |

Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements The Dower House is fully open for business with some regular lets and of the charity during the financial the occasional one-off lets. period
The Dower House Museum and Archives have extended their opening hours with the help of volunteers from The Corstorphine Trust welcoming visitors. There have been a few public events held in the house. The Dower House Café has had a very successful third year of business. This friendly, historical, community orientated café in the heart of Corstorphine has proven to be very popular with local residents and visitors alike. The Corstorphine Astoria Centre is open to an increasing number of regular organised group activities for both adults and children and has a busy weekly programme.
There have been a number of recital evenings and some very successful Silent Film Nights featuring the Ingram Organ. Various other musical evenings have also been enjoyed.
By means of the Corstorphine Benevolent Fund we have continued to contribute financially to good causes in the local area.
Due to increased costs and a lot of essential maintenance The Trust’s funds have been depleted but hopefully a recent increase in our rental charges will go some way to helping offset these costs.
The Wee Shop, continues to be let and is trading as an outlet for Speciality Cakes.

| Set out on pages | 5 to 10 (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets) |
| Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner |
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees |
| consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations | |
| does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section | |
| 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. | |
| Basis of independent examiner’s statement |
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the |
| charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes | |
| consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks | |
| explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken | |
| do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do | |
| not express an audit opinion on the viewgiven bythe accounts. | |
| Independent examiner’s statement |
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: • to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. |
