and a cup of tea ant catch up on the week past and ahead. Discussions on families and
friends are always top of the list. The Kurling is till enjoyed by the members. Much pleasure
when the winning scores are announced.
Our AGM was well attended and we continue with a good group of Trustees and active
members. It was agreed that here should be no change to the membership fees of £3.00 or
the Hall hire of £10.00 per hour, as many small groups use us. We finished out the meeting
with a special tea.
Our Xmas paty was most enjoyable with gcK)d food and entertainment. some of our
members don't have family close by and this may be their only Xmas. No change in our
subsidy of the costs of the meal.
So our three main activities are function well and the members continue to enjoy them along

Independent Examiner's Report on the Accounts
Report to the trustees of Dalkeith Old Peoples Welfare Committee
Registered charity number SC014185
On the accounts of the charity for the period to 31 sl March 2025
Set out on Pages 7 to 8
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examlner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with
the lerms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the Charities
Accounts (Scolland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit
requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulalions 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 Charilies 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 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 accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requiremenls:
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.
