Achievements and Performance
The Hall serves as a venue for our member groups from the local and wider north Sutherland communities. We still have the bowling club operating once a week and we have this year started a community caffe also operating once a week.
We are keeping up with our vision as a group. To make the Hall into a Community Hub that residents and members can use in a membership manner when and as they please concerning the groups that are operating at the Hall.
Following last year, we are still continuing the renovation of the building into a greener, warmer and more energy-efficient building that will attract a wider demographic of residents and visitors. We have now the planning permission and working towards the building warrant phase 1.
We have also started the procedure, and have been accepted from OSCR, to change the charities status to SCIO. We are talking with Wildland to hopefully support us with the cost of the transfer of the asset.
Sadly we have still to install the Northern Seashore Hub but due to our future renovations we are actually holding back a bit. A group of volunteers from the community has come together to build the shed, which is now waiting to be permanently installed.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Skerray Village Hall, registered charity number SC021475.
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025, set out on pages 5- 7.
Respective responsibilities of trustee 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 explanation from the Trustees concerning 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
-
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.
