The Committee is responsible for preparing the Committee's Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

COMMITTEE'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
Achievements and performance
The Branch has had a very busy year and is summarised as follows:
-
The Branch raised £10,371 for Poppy Scotland, and raised through combined Branch and Club work £602 for Erskine Homes and £550 for the Gurkhas.
-
Continue to actively parade colours and attend, at every opportunity, dedication services, armed forces celebrations and formal acts of Remembrance around the Highlands and Islands (H&l) Area.
-
In May we celebrated and commemorated VE Day 80 years on. On Thursday 8th May 2025, multiple services at war memorials with a piper and standartd bearer in attendance with the Lord Lieutenant laying wreaths accompanied by Bob Towns at Croy, then Cawdor, Ardclach, Auldearn, ending in Nairn with planned arrival, soup, sandwiches and refreshments afterward at Nairn Legion Club. In the afternoon Legion committee members including a colour party attended 9 local graves (8 in Nairn, 1 in Cawdor), where a short service was performed with members laying poppy crosses at individual graves.
-
Armed Forces Day - Nairn Legion paid tribute to our Armed Forces Day with a short flag raising service on 24th June. The Lord Lieutenant, Nairn Provost were in attendance, supported by the President, Legion Members, Veterans and members of the public.
-
Friday 15th August we remembered VJ Day, with a service at the Nairn War Memorial and wreath laying ceremony. Immediately following this | unveiled a new plaque in the Legion garden commemorating the same event.
-
Remembrance Sunday - Once again, our commitment to honouring and remembering the fallen was demonstrated Veteransduring our andannual YouthArmistice OrganisationsDay parade. parading.The Thechurch Paradeservice washeld led byat theaParish Church this year withthe NairnLegionnaires, & District Pipe Band. The Parade this year was commanded by Tom Brown who stepped down from his intended duty of drum major to take the Parade. The sum of all this wasa fitting and respectful tribute to those we honour. Distinguished guests, including the Lord Lieutenant, Provost and President, laid wreaths during the War Memorial Service, alongside Service personnel, veterans and representatives from various organizations. The War Memorial Service was led by three local ministers with the last post being played byJ Wreaths were also laid by Branch members at the following War Memorials - Cawdor, Auldearn, Ardclach, with the Standard and Colour also being paraded on that day at the Ardersier War Memorial.
-
War Memorial - The Nairn and District War Memorial received full marks at the Highland & Islands Area competition and was awarded the Area Best Kept War Memorial with Large Community Garden. It was commended for its superb floral displays, well-maintained stonework and a i j s are extended to the committee and Council gardeners, in particular to our —_ their dedication and hard work as the driving force behind this success. In the national competition we were one point short of full marks, however the one point was deducted for some of the names being slightly faded on the Memorial, a point of contention as this we consider to be the property of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and not something we should be carrying unsanctioned maintenance on.
-
Culture and Charitable Support - We continue to actively support the arts and we sponsor local groups to promote Scottish culture. Specifically providing support to the Nairn & District Pipe Band and the Nairn & District Scottish Country Dancers. Our involvement in inventorying medals for display and arranging military memorabilia showcases our dedication to preserving and sharing our rich military history.
Financial review
The annual Poppy Appeal collection was slightly up by £120 from £10,251 to £10,371. Included in donations was a grant of £10,000 from the National Lottery Community Fund towards the cost of improvements to the toilet facilities located within the Branch property. Other trading income streams were comparable to the previous year, however capitation fees were up by £315 from £1,905 to £2,220 which was encouraging and an increase in Members.
Included in expenditure is a payment of £10,000 to the Club Refurbishment Fund. This sum has been donated from the Branch towards the Club project of upgrading the toilet facilities as Tenant's improvements to the Branch premises, Other expenditure items were comparable to the previous year.
The Branch has recorded a surplus, before the depreciation charge, of £3,197 (2024 - £2,055) for the year. The depreciation charge amounted to £10,822 (2024 - £10,918).

COMMITTEE'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
Financial review
(Continued)
Itis the policy of the charity that general unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month's of general unrestricted expenditure (including depreciation), amounting to a minimum of £4,000. The Branch Committee consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
Plans for future periods
The Branch will continue in its usual activities, and support the Nairn British Legion Club. On completion of upgrading the property, the Club's annual rent was to be reviewed, taking cognisance of its current trading position and financial position. The Branch Committee reveiwed the Club's rent at its meeting held on 2 February 2025 and agreed to leave the charge at the current level.
On behalf of the Branch Committee and dated 25 January 2026

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the financial statements 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 financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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, | do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: (a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and
-
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations;
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
Use of my report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with the rules of the Branch. My work has been undertaken to enable me to undertake an independent examination of the Branch's financial statements on behalf of the charity's board of trustees and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, | do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Branch and the Branch's members as a body, for my work or for this report.
