Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 October 2025

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The purposes of KALE, as recorded in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, are to promote the benefit of the residents and inhabitants of Kilmuir and Logie Easter Parishes and its environs by associating with local and statutory authorities, voluntary organisations, residents and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and provide facilities in the interest of social welfare, for recreation and other leisure time occupation with the object of improving conditions of life of the above afore mentioned residents and inhabitants.

Significant activities During the year ending October 2025:

The Christmas Fayre was held later this year - on the 20th November 2024 - and it, along with the Meet and Eat Christmas Buffet and Children's Party day in December, all went very well. Toddlers that we are aware of living in the area were invited and parents brought them along to meet with Santa. These events were made possible by the continued funding support from the Beinn Tharsiunn Wind Farm Fund, with support from the local community council, Albyn Housing Community Fund and fundraising by the KALE Group.

Hampers were distributed to those attending Food bank in December 2024.

Meet and Eat has continued weekly into 2025 with funding from Hope Charity, Invergordon - this Community Lunch is open to all age groups.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Total reserves at the balance sheet date amounted to £1,208,800 (2024 - £1,202,805) including total cash at bank of £40,292 (2024 - £44,395). The directors are satisfied that these reserves are sufficient to enable the charity to meet its charitable objectives. After a detailed review of restricted fund balances, and what expenses had historically been attributed to the restricted funds, the directors agreed to adjust the accounts to reflect the correct closing position by means of transfers between funds.

Reserves policy

The directors have examined the requirements for free reserves which are those unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets. The aim of the directors remains to increase the fund to a sustainable amount and they are confident that the on-going activities which are planned will generate increased funds for the unrestricted reserve.

FUTURE PLANS

2025-2026: A Year of Challenges and Progress:

The past year has been both busy and challenging for our group, as we continue to face increasing operational and maintenance costs. Despite these obstacles, we remain committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all.

We were proud to celebrate the 15th birthday of the Mercat Centre on November ‘1st, 2025. Ensuring safety and maintenance is always a priority to guarantee the well-being of our staff and the community we serve. The Kale Group extends its gratitude to our dedicated staff, as well as all the groups, services, and projects operating out of the Centre. Your ongoing efforts help us uphold our mission to support and uplift the community. Together, we continue to work towards our goal of ‘improving the conditions of life’ within our local area.

Thank you for your continued dedication and support.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Kilmuir and Logie Easter Action and Development Group

| report on the accounts for the year ended 31 October 2025 set out on pages seven to sixteen.

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 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 the independent examiner's report

My examination was 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 seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements

have not been met; or

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Plant and Machinery depreciation is provided at the annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life to a minimum value deemed to be recoverable on disposal.

Freehold property is not depreciated on the basis that no impairment of value has occurred in the period.

Taxation

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
