Aberlour Community Association SCIO SC009817 Chairperson Report for 15[th] May 2025 

The Fleming Hall had a very busy year with the diary full of events from weekly classes, local groups and special events, birthdays and funeral teas. 

1. That being said due to a massive increase in the utilities bill which now averages at £1,000.00 per month we have had to increase the hall fees to reflect this. 

2. We have said goodbye to both 

2. We have said goodbye to both as hall keepers and wish to thank both for their work with the hall over the year. We have a new hall keeper who has joined the team alongside . 

3. The lease for the hall is due to be renewed in March and we are hoping to be able to renew this if possible but this will depend on the terms and conditions we are offered via the Moray Council.  To be perfectly honest we may have to let the Fleming Halll go if the trustees feel we cannot afford to run the building. 

4. We wish to thank the Aberlour Villa Football Club for a very generous donation towards the upkeep of the hall. 

5. We are looking for a number of people to come together to form a sub committee to fund raise and aid in the running of the Hall going forward, please feel free to make yourselves known to the trustees if you want to help with this. 

year for which we would like to thank for their hard work, they also are 

looking for more volunteers to help with the workload.  A special thanks goes out to Alic Littler Trust and the Aberlour Fire Service for their donations to the Garden project. 

The Playpark Project was kick started at the village party last year. 

1. as gone from strength to strength with the formation of a very active subgroup which has raise a considerable amount of money towards the refurbishment of the play park, with soup and sweet, Hogmanay party, Singing Kettle, proceeds from the Christmas Raffle. 

2. The Scottish Government is funding the new park via the Moray Council to the tune of £90,000 and any monies raised by the sub-group will be in addition to this to further add to the equipment and play area. 

3. The public consultation for the park is live now and we would encourage everyone with an interest to have your say on the online form. 

4. We have had donations towards the park from Aberlour Hotel, Alister Walker, Speyside Community Council, CO-OP, Rothes Glen and all the villagers who supported these events with their time and money we would like to thank you all. 

5. The Robinson Trust had triple matched the funds raise from the Aberlour Hotel and the Singing Kettle which has boosted the funds considerably. 

The new Christmas street lights where installed and look great 

1. a big thank you to for taking on the task of organising the lights and tree for the village. 

2. The old lights were offered to the villagers for a donation and several of them were given new homes within the village. 

3. The Fire Service also needs to be thanks for raising the tree in the square. 

4. The installation and removal of the lights is undertaken by an external contractor which costs the village £2,500 per year which we need to find every year. 

5. The Aberlour Hotel had a fundraiser on games day which was triple matched by the Robertson Trust 



1. into the building. 

2. The Speyside Care Home had a regular Thursday booking to help with their amenities fund. 

3. We have also had a baby shower, a wedding reception, a small Christmas party, a Birthday party and  a Wedding along with the usual opening of the tearoom at weekends. 

4. We wish to thank all the volunteers who baked or staffed the tearoom last year.  As per usual we are looking for more volunteers to keep the tearoom open this year. 

The Public toilets are kept clean by a small but dedicated team of volunteers who do a sterling job of opening/ cleaning and closing the toilets 346 days a year. 

1. Baby Changing facilities have been installed in both the male and female toilets. Along with the necessary bins for disposal of waste by an external company. 

2. Air fresheners have been installed in all 3 toilets. 

3. DONR text to donate, donations have seen an increase since the improvements have been implemented. 

The Visitor Centre has been run solely by last year which he did alongside his work with the Heritage Project around the village. 

1. Unfortunately has had to step back from the running of the SVC due to his health but will still be working on Heritage projects. 

2. We want to thank him and for their hard work on the Heritage Project 

3. As can no longer staff the centre we are looking for volunteers so we can keep the centre open.

Treasurer's Reportfortheyear ending September 2024
The months of October and November have been mainly taken over by ensuring the Accounts
were ready for the Auditor. These were handed over to her on 151b November once I was certain I
had full access to all the accounts online
and myself met so as we could checkthatwe
could in fact both authorise any BACS transactions which we are now able to do.
The main poinis in the 8Gcounts for December 2023 inGlude the Christmas Market and the Audit for
OSCR. I have had the audit b8ck from
and she has signed off on both our account 8n(J ,the Pipe
Bond accounts so these are readyto be uploaded to OSCR once they have been passed by the AGM. The
other main issue is access to the utility's accounts. l am having problems due to them having a named
person on them, I will continue to try and gain access before the next meeting.
January and February were all aboutthe allocation of P8uI's HillWindf8rm Grants. Broadb8nd Costs and
utI￿tieS access. Also confirming wth Moray Council that there is no need to apply this yearforthe
rebates on the various premises as last years application stands until next re-evaluation.
March, April and May I have yetto movethe £978 fortheTearoom white goods which was paid
into the Fleming Hall account instead of into the General account as this would put a strain on
the H211 account as its funds are quite limited. so will look to moving the funds next month if 211
are agreed to this .Utility access is still an issue EDF had taken £414 from the account even
though we are no lon8er with them. Havin8 had a vigorous conversation with them we will be
refunded this money alongwith a further £415.92 that was owed to us. The DD has now been
cancelled from our end 8S they didn't cancelwhen we switched over.
The rest of the day financial year saw the final payments for the flood damage being paid and
consolidating access to ali the accounts and utilities. The yearly rundown is set out on the next
page.

My examination is catned out in accordan(* wtlh Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts
{Scotlandl Regulations 2C#J6. An examinatton includes a re￿￿eW of the Accounting Re¢ords
kept by the Chartty and a comparison of the Accounts presented with those rec¢xds. It also
includes consideration of any unusLtal items or disclosures in the Accounts and seeks
explanations from the Trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do
not ￿0vide all the eviden￿ Ihat would be required in an audit arxl, consequently. I do not
express an Audrt Opinion on the Accounts.
In the course of my examinatKJn. no matter has come to my attention..
1. ￿lch gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requI￿rnents.
