REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

CONVENOR’S REPORT

Now we have passed the quarter of a century marker for the KDT, we can reflect on some major achievements over this time.

We rescued the Rural Hall which was in danger of losing its windows and raised over £22k to install new windows all around. Since then, over £100k has been raised for improvements and remedial works. We also have plans of how to insulate the floor and introduce a more efficient and renewable heating system.
We saved Doune Post Office from closure, a much used and needed community facility, by taking on the franchise and subsidising the losses it makes (which, thankfully, are reducing).
We have worked on many projects in collaboration with the Kilmadock Community Council and other organisations, including bringing the public toilets on the Moray Park into use. We worked hard to get the eyesore ‘green shed site’ turned into a usable public car park with direct access to Doune Ponds.
We have established a permanent base for the Information and Heritage Centre which we own outright with no loans or mortgages. We have run this in the village for the full 25 years.
We have upgraded our heritage exhibitions and given a home to a unique collection of genuine ‘Doune Pistols’, generously donated by collector Andrew Yool.
We have created the Doune & Deanston Heritage Trail with new plaques in both villages, and worked with Historic Environment Scotland to upgrade existing (and add new) interpretation boards in Doune.
We created a modern, and regularly updated, website for the community, DouneAndDeanston.com.
With the considerable expertise of our Development Officer, we have supported Doune & Deanston Youth Project to secure the funds needed to construct a permanent building in Moray Park (currently under construction).
We established the Windfarm Trust in 2007, as a subgroup of the KDT, to independently consider and distribute community benefit funds from the Braes of Doune Windfarm. This has been a valuable source of financial support to community organisations and projects. Funding distributed this year can be found in the Accounts.
Numerous other small projects have been run along the way, such as the local paths leaflet, and the IT Project during the coronavirus pandemic. We also support other community activities by providing insurance for the Christmas Fayre, hanging baskets in Doune and seasonal fun runs.

All of this could not have been done without our volunteers, a great team of PO staff and, in recent years, our Development Officer. Some serious teamwork is involved in running the Information and Heritage Centre and people have committed their time, skills and energy into maintaining and expanding what we do. The volunteers get involved in activities such as pricing goods, organising the shop and displays and assisting with one-off activities: it would be impossible to list all of these tasks.

During this financial year our Directors have continued to commit serious time and energy into running our community enterprise. Thanks to Dave Bertin, Di Campbell, Ken Carson, Jo Dormer, Tony Farrant, Morag Ferrier, Paul Reed, Ken Russell (KCC representative) and myself. During the year we welcomed Diane McKirdy to the board and David Clark left to take up new responsibilities, thanks David for all your help. All of our directors are hands-on and take on additional extra duties to keep the boat afloat.

We are a charity and company limited by guarantee, therefore we have complex accounts. We get great support from Webb and Wallace for this work, and have a team of three Directors who work together on keeping financial and accounting matters up-to-date.

As one of Scotland’s earliest ‘development trusts’, all in the community can take pride in what we have been able to achieve. I wonder what the next 25 years holds for us?

Development Officer Report

September 2024 to August 2025

This is the fourth financial year that Kilmadock Development Trust has received support from the Strengthening Communities Programme (SCP). The aim of the programme is to support community organisations in developing their core capacity and longer-term stability, sustainability and resilience. SCP enables them to undertake a community anchor role and/or deliver more ambitious programmes, projects and activities that meet the needs of their community. Development Trusts Association Scotland (DTAS) administers the fund on behalf of the Scottish Government. This year the post has received match funding from Kilmadock’s Windfarm Trust; this allows the post to be full-time, giving us the opportunity to achieve a lot more than we would otherwise.

Being part of the programme has allowed KDT to employ myself as the community’s Development Officer since December 2021. Taking a ‘community anchor approach’, meaning I work on KDT projects as well as supporting projects of Kilmadock Community Council, Doune & Deanston Youth Project (DDYP), and Community Action for Deanston (CAFD).

This year saw the culmination of years of effort to realise DDYP’s ambition of a permanent building to call their own. In January the temporary building in Moray Park was craned off in sections for off-site demolition, clearing the way for construction to start on the ground a couple of weeks later. Over the following months, piece by piece their new building became a reality. Mid-construction a funding opportunity arose to install solar panels and battery storage, which is expected to give the building a ‘carbon-positive’ impact from its operations. Works are at the finishing touches stage, and I am looking forward to this fantastic new community facility to start being used. With my support, DDYP has secured grant funding to employ a General Manager to get the building up-and running and expand their activities.

Last year’s Development Officer report included the initial stages of a project to improve the historical displays and visitor experience of the Information and Heritage Centre. What I couldn’t say then, which I can now, is that plans were in train to receive an extraordinary gift. Collector Andrew Yool had approached KDT with the offer of a collection of ten eighteenth century ‘Doune Pistols’. These now form the centrepiece of renovated heritage exhibitions in the Information and Heritage Centre, and the first time that pistols made in Doune have been put on permanent public display. A remarkable homecoming that has, so far, brought hundreds of new visitors through our doors. At times, delivering the project was quite complex; navigating firearms licensing, testing content for the exhibition boards, many rounds of proofreading, and re-decorating while the centre remained open seven days. We received a small grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund towards the works which was maximised thanks to an estimated 1,000 hours of time from volunteers and myself.

Moving on to some of the smaller achievements and progress made in the past year include:

Creating a School Travel Map for Doune Primary School’s Junior Road Safety Officers.
Completing feasibility work with Local Energy Scotland which shows that a district heat network using waste, heat from the distillery is possible for Deanston villag/,
Supporting CAFD in reducing their energy costs and downgrading their electricity connection.
Continuing on KDT’s plans to introduce further measures that can decarbonise the energy needs of the, Information and Heritage Centre, Rural Hall and Moray Park Public Toilets.
Securing over 50% of funds needed for installation of public EV chargers at Deanston Community Centre.
Working with neighbouring trusts on the McLaren Communities Futures project, working to identify how we can deliver tangible climate action projects at scale across the McLaren High catchment area.

While I may be a team of one, my role is one that can’t work effectively alone. I’d like to note my thanks to all the directors, volunteers and the wider community for the varied support in different ways over this year that has helped us achieve so much this year to make Kilmadock a better place to live, work and visit.

REPORT OF THR TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 (Cont.)

The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025.

The legal and administrative information as set out on Page 1 and the Convenor’s Report form part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities issued in March 2005.

Principle activities and objectives

The charitable company is a recognised Scottish Charity governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The principal objective of the charity is to make Doune and Deanston a better place to live, work and visit.

Trustees

The directors of the charitable company (‘the charity’) are its trustees for the purpose of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as the trustees.

The maximum number of trustees is fifteen of which nine shall be drawn from the membership and six appointed by the Trustees. Member trustees are appointed at the Annual General Meeting following written confirmation of their willingness to be appointed.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

The Board aims to recruit trustees with specific skills necessary to carry out its main current projects. The skills of trustees are also supplemented by members of the relevant project groups. New trustees are given an induction which includes instruction from the Company Secretary regarding their legal responsibilities, copies of the latest accounts, and minutes of previous trustee meetings, as well as documentation specific to any particular project they may be attached to.

Financial Results

The financial results are set out in the attached financial statements and show that the charity for the year ending 31 August 2025 has returned an unrestricted deficit of £745 and an overall deficit on an underlying basis of £21,166 (the reported numbers show an overall positive surplus of £54,834 due to the receipt of £75,000 donation in kind) compared with an unrestricted deficit of £2,868 and an overall deficit of £15,507 in the year ending 31 August 2024. Details of the individual project results are laid out in the Convenor’s Report on Page 2 and in Note 11 of the Notes to the Accounts.

REPORT OF THR TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 (Cont.)

Risk Assessment

The Trustees of the charity have assessed risk and where necessary put in place plans to manage and mitigate those risks to an acceptable level in its day to day operations. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charitable company. The risk assessment programme has been formalised and documented.

Reserves Policy

It is a policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level sufficient to support its current activities and to provide stability towards its future operations. At the end of the year there were sufficient such reserves to cover the activities of the charity for six months.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

Company Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue its business

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. They are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Small Company Exemptions

This report is prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part V11 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. The financial statements on pages 9 to 18 have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 (Cont)

Rural Hall Funds - The Trust owns and operates one of the community’s halls. We continue to receive the support of Stirling Council in the form of Rural Hall Revenue grants. The KDT continues to raise funds from various sources, including the Windfarm Trust, to carry out essential repairs and improvements to the Hall and to renovate it to acceptable standards. Its fund-raising events are widely supported in the community.

Hanging Baskets is an ongoing project funded by the Windfarm Trust to provide hanging baskets for the village each year in conjunction with KCC.

The Windfarm Trust , which has now completed its 18th year, is operated jointly by the KDT and the Community Council to manage the distribution of Kilmadock’s share of the community benefit deriving from the Braes of Doune Wind Farm. Legally the Windfarm Trust is a sub-group of the KDT. Its members are elected (two from the KDT, two from the KCC and three community members) and they have complete autonomy in deciding how the money is distributed. The process is managed by a steering group made up of the office bearers of the two organisations.
