```

## **`Plans for the Future`** 

```
The charity plans continuing the activities in the forthcoming
year subject to satisfactory funding arrangements and also subject
to social distancing legislation relating to licensed premises.
```

## **`Statement of Trustees Responsibilities`** 

```
The charity's trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees annual
report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and
United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice).
```

```
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for
each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of
affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the
surplus/deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the
Board is required to;
```

- `select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;` 

- `observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;` 

- `make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business;` 

- `state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.` 

```
The trustees are also responsible for maintaining proper accounting records
which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position
of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's
transactions. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of
the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and
detection of fraud and other irregularities.
```

```
The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees report,
and the responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the
trustees report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the
face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed
in the financial statements

I report on the financial statements of the above charity for the year
ended 31 January 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities,
Balance Sheet and related notes.
```

## **`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) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006
(as amended).
```

```
The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation
10(1)(a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my
responsibility toexaminetheaccountsas requiredundersection 44(1)(c)
of theActandto statewhetherparticularmattershavecome to my attention.
```

## **`Basis of Independent Examiner's statement`** 

```
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the
Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 trusteesconcerningsuch matters.The proceduresundertakendo not
provide all the evidence that would be requiredin an audit,and consequently
I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
```

## **`Independent Examiner's Statement`** 

```
In the courseofmy examination,nomatterhas cometo 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 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met or`
