## **4. Review of the year to 31[st] March 2025**
The group has become dormant with no activities held since the Covid19 lockdowns commenced in 2020, here have been no change since the last annual report.
## **5. Future Plans**
As the group has become dormant Trustees decided in 2022 to wind up the charity, however this process has not yet been undertaken.
The Shetland Charitable Trust who previously provided core grant funding has been consulted about remaining funds and does not require any funds to be paid back. Per the charity’s constitution remaining funds will be divided equally between the three local Churches who supported the organisation.
It is intended that Permission be sought from OSCR (The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator) to wind up the charity in early 2026.
## **6. Financial Review**
The group held no activities in the year. A donation of £20 was deposited into the charity’s bank account to keep the account active as it had not been used for 3 years.
**Restricted Funds** arise from income received for a specific purpose. The group maintains a single restricted fund arising from grant funding received specifically for the core activities for the group. £3,469 was held in this fund at 31[st] March 2025.
**Unrestricted Funds** arise from income received for the objects for the group but without any purpose specified and are available as general funds. At 31[st] March 2025 £4,306 was held as unrestricted funds.
## **7. Statement on Risk**
The Trustees are aware of Financial Risk, and actively seek to mitigate this as far as possible.

## Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Dunrossness Inter-Church Fellowship Day-Care Group
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2025 that are set out on pages 3 to 7.
## **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. 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 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 trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to the those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
1. that 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.
