Structure, Governance & Management
Constltutlon
The charity is governed by its constitution which was last amended on 31
gt
th
March 2023. It was granted charitable status by OSCR on 24 January
1998.
Appointment of Trustees
The Management Committee, which normally meets quarterly, includes
the charity's trustees. Membership of the committee is open to all
individuals with an interest in the aims of the Trust.
Trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting which is normally held
at the end of March. Under the constitution there must be a minimum of six
and not more than twelve elected trustees. The trustees may co-opt further
trustees if they consider it would be in the interests of the charity to do so.
Management
The Trustees are responsible for the strategic direction and governance of
the museum, whilst day-to-day administration is delegated to the
Management Committee. All the trustees and members of the committee
are volunteers. None are paid.
The museum has comprehensive Arts & Culture insurance cover.
Objectives & Activities
Uig museum is located in a remote rural island area which has experienced
prolonged depopulation with negative impacts on the demographic
structure, the younger and middle-aged residents are in employment and
the pool of volunteers available to run the museum tend to be drawn from
the retired, older aged cohorts. Our biggest asset as always is this team of
volunteers both on the Committee and working in the Museum. Again we
managed to open the Museum six days a week, the exceptions being due to
funerals of Community members for which we shut out of respect.

CEUAnnual OSCR Retum Dec25
Accreditation
The Museum has established a working groLJP to attempt museum
accreditation. The committee anticipate that once this process is
completed the museum will be in a better position to attract grant aid. The
process of achieving accreditation involves producing specific policies to
strengthen governance ofthe Uig Museum.
Programme of Events
The Uig Museum website has been upgraded and is now accessible at
ceuig.co.uk. Work to further improve the online content is ongoing. Some
progress has been made to digitise the museum archives but a complete
digitisation of manuscripts, images as well as artefacts is now part of the
museum's long-term plan.
New donations of artefacts and manuscripts continue to be registered and
located in appropriate storage. This work takes place during the winter
months.
This season sawthe museum accepting pre-agreed coach tours, these
worked reasonably well and maybe something we could explore further.

CEUAnnu81 OSCR Rerum Dec25
Financial Review
Our main source of funding is from the sale of goods relevant to Uig's
history. The admission charge for adults (currently £3) provides a much-
needed addition8l revenue stream.
Receipts for the year were £35934 (2024.. £22694)
Payments for the year were £18253 (2024.. £8699)
At the year end the bank account held £14598 with cash in hand of £293.

Independent Examiner's Report
For the Year Ended 31" March 2025
Independent Examiner's Report tothe Trustees of CE Uig
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31°
March 2025, which are set out on pages 7-9.
Respectlve Responslbllitles of Trustees and Examlner
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 ('the 2005 Act.) and the Charities Accounts (Scotland)
Regulations 2006 (as amended) ('the 2006 Regulations,). The charity's
trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(d) of the
2006 Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the
accounts as required under section (44)(1)(c) of the 2005 Act and to state
whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement
My examination is conducted in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006
Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records
kept bythe charity and a comparison ofthe 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 view given by the accounts.
Independent Examlner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that. in any material
respect. the requirements:

CEUAnnu81 OSCR Reiurn Dec25
o to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44{1)(a)
of the 2005 Act and regulation four of the 2006 Regulations.
and
o to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records
and comply with regulation nine of the 2006 Regulations have
not been met, or
to which. in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable
a proper understanding ofthe accounts to be reached.
