Lumsden Community Association Chairmans Report 2025
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING : 15 APRIL 2025
Welcome to my 8[th] and final Chairmans report, out of interest, mine if not yours, I looked back over my previous reports and a theme emerged of a limited number of committee members and trustees but despite that, what has been achieved has, I think been exceptional, especially when you think for nearly 2 years, we were reduced to holding meetings over Zoom.
We have redone the Market Stance (park) with new play equipment, benches and tables, fenced it on two sides and undertaken a huge amount of planting of both hedges, trees, shrubs and bulbs. We have taken over the closed public toilets and had them refurbished and reopened and also converted the second toilet to a storeroom, set up a village resilience group and equipped the hall as an emergency hub, got grant funding for planters along the Main Street and planted and maintained them, redone the Christmas Lights, leased a site for a telecommunications mast in the hall carpark which now produces a regular income to help with the hall running costs, replaced most of the tables in the hall with light modern versions whilst still finding time to run the Mary Fair, produce shows, soup and sweet and craft events, children’s Christmas parties, keep the hall afloat financially, maintain the market stance and put up and take down the village Christmas lights.
During the last year we held the Mary Fair, a produce show and craft event, updated some of the electrics in the hall, undertaken a project to look at improvements in heating efficiency in the hall and continued with planting improvements in the park.
I would like to thank my fellow trustees for all the work they have put in, the only one who was on the committee when I joined 8.5 years ago was who maintains the hall, oversees and in a lot of cases does the catering at events as well as planting and maintaining the Market Stance and village planters.
who is standing down as treasurer and trustee this year who has kept our finances sound and also overseen most of our recent grant funding applications including those for the refurbishment of the toilets which he also effectively project managed and also steered and supervised the resilience project.
who is also stepping down who despite now not living in the village has continued to attend meetings and do the hall booking and most of our social media work.
who joined us last year to bolster our numbers who can always be relied on for help and a measured response to any problems.
Can I also thank who not only cleans the hall and public toilets but also locks and unlocks the toilets for us every day and the various people who help be it doing the washing up and serving at events or helping put up and take down the Christmas lights and maintaining the hall and market stance, you are all an important part of the team. Lumsden Hall is one of the best equipped halls in the area but is vastly underused and unappreciated by a lot of the village.
Can I wish those who are to take on the responsibility for it and the rest of the LCA projects, good luck and remember you can make a difference but don’t forget, everyone will always tell you what they think you are doing wrong but will rarely tell you if they think you got it right.

Treasurers Report to Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 15[th] April 2025
For Financial Year 28[th] January 2024 – 27[th] January 2025
The last year has been both positive and negative.
On the plus side, we have been able to hold more events than we have managed since the Covid-19 pandemic, with the Mary Fair, two Soup and Sweet events, a Craft Fair, Produce Show and the regular quiz and bingo nights. This has helped immensely with fundraising and has contributed to a reasonably stable year financially with our income marginally exceeding our outgoings.
The Hall continues to be under-utilised whilst our operating costs remain much higher than they were just two or three years ago. We have been unable to recruit new Trustees and Secretarial duties continue to be shared amongst the other Trustees. The lack of capacity amongst Committee members continues to limit what we are able to achieve. Positively, we still see a healthy number of volunteers who are prepared to get involved in supporting events and activities.
We were fortunate to continue to receive some core funding from Foundation Scotland through the Kildrummy Wind Farm fund this year, for which we are very appreciative. This funding is linked to being able to demonstrate a strengthened volunteer base and progress towards a longer-term plan and despite feeling that we were doing this, it was disappointing that the funding panel decided to add additional milestone conditions to the drawn down of the funding this year which was quite disheartening for the Trustees. We also continue to be supported by an annual grant from the Wheedlemont Turbine Fund, which is shared with Rhynie, and will increase year on year as the community benefits from the developer increase.
In terms of fundraising, we have raised nearly £2,700 this year, including donations. This is more than in the most recent years, helped significantly by the proceeds of the Hogmanay Party, which was run independently of LCA. We are very grateful to the organisers for their support. In addition to the funding received from Foundation Scotland and the Wheedlemont Turbine Fund, we have received two grants from Aberdeenshire Council towards the purchase of a water bowser and to help with urgent electrical upgrades in the Hall.
As Treasurer, my year has been dominated by two complex and lengthy disputes with our electricity suppliers, firstly for the community-owned public toilets and then for the Hall. Both required a case to be raised with the Energy Ombudsman, though in the case of the toilets we were able to settle prior to the completion of their investigation. In the case of the Hall, the Ombudsman ruled in our favour and all corrective actions have now been taken by our supplier. This has been a draining and stressful experience for me personally and has been a significant distraction from being able to contribute proactively to our charitable activities, however at least we have a clean slate again with our utilities.
The charity holds three bank accounts. Our accounting period runs from 28[th] January to 27[th] January. The main current account is for day-to-day operations of the charity. Annual expenditure during the accounting period from this account amounted to £17,482 and income over the same period was £20,470, a surplus of £2,988. We continue to hold a sum of £3,346 in this account which is the balance from a grant from SSEN given in 2022 for our Resilience project and is treated as Restricted Funds. We are careful with our finances and do not proceed with non-core or urgent expenditure until we have the confirmed funding in place to do so. The main current account balance as of 27[th] January 2025 was £18,383.
A second current account holds a sum of £20,233 on behalf of the ‘Kingdom of the Picts Pathway project’ which is run independently of the LCA by a group without banking facilities. We administer the settlement of invoices for project related expenses as requested by the Paths Project team. Three small transactions were processed for the KoTP project in this accounting period to a combined value of £441. The account balance as of 27[th] January 2025 was £27,531, with the remaining money once KoTP are accounted for (£7,298), being unrestricted LCA funds.
The estimated annual operating budget for the charity’s core activities and, in particular, maintaining the Hall is £5,000, though this is a historic amount and should probably be reviewed. In line with the charity’s reserves policy, we continue to retain a sum of £5,000 in a separate account in the event of an emergency or a shortfall in income. This amount is held in the third ‘maintenance’ account and is reinvested in 6-monthly term deposit cycles. This account has attracted interest of £176 over the year and had a balance of £5,371 as of 27[th] January 2025.
Overall, across all our accounts, our income in 24/25 exceeded our expenditure by £2,723 and we ended the year with Unrestricted funds of £27,716 which represents a £3,565 increase on the position at the end of the previous financial year. Financially speaking this is a positive outcome and places the charity well for the coming years.
