ORIECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectiveq #nd gims Th¢ charity's primary aim5 are to r¢liev¢ the suffering of ￿hoUndS. lutrh¢TS and abandon￿ or retired racing dogs who atE in need of care. to provide, mainlain or assist in the provision and maintenance of kennels or other facilitias for these dogs: and to aid in the rescue and re-homing of these dogs. The Greyhound Awaren￿ League (GAL) is a non-profit making organisation ¢ntir¢ly by volunteers. They organise and attend various events throughout the year all over Scotland, to raise funds by selling merchandise and organising dog shows, sponsored walks, holding awareness days. Easter and Summer Galas. a Christmas Fayre and Chrisknas Can Collection. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Ch*Titsble activiti GAL h&8 (logs surrendered to us from owners of rdcing greyhounds, traineTS of retired greyhounds and number of unwanted pets. GAL were able to neuter/spay as well as vac¢inat¢ and ¢hip all dogs prior to homing. This added io the wellbeing of OAL dogs. GAL h&8 Continu￿ with f05tering and re-homing dogs in the Ferio FINANCIAL REVIEW Finaneial positio The deficit for the period is £29.041 {2024'. £41,641 surplus). The management committee will wntinue to monitor extEnditur¢ with a view lo ensuring the charity's finances are concluded in a prt￿ent and effective manner. The charity does not wish to accumulate substantial unrestricted funds but aims to cover expenditure by itKome rdised fivm charitabl¢ donations and Servi￿S. There has been significantly more oulgoings than income this year for severai reasons. We had far less foslerers able to tske in dogs. Also. a number of dogs were taken on with ￿MpleX behaviourdl and health issues that needed io k addressed and some of these hounds had lo k housed in kennels for fflore experienced and srttialist carers. We also have one dog who will be a"forever foste￿ who is still wailing to be ddoptrd and GAL will continue to m¢¢t his medical bills. There were ￿s0 signifi¢anl wsts incurred for an external consultant who wa8 appoint￿ by the previou5 cOrr￿lItee to create and launch the new website, and some of these costs ftll into this financial year. With regard to statements for two of our accounts, the committee apwinted at the 2024 Annual Ge￿ra1 Meciing (AGM) resigned prior to the 2025 AGM, without all records or financial controls E¢ing handed over.

IDdepeDden¢ Examiner's Report to tbe Trusteej of Greyhound Awsrertess tague I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 September 2025 set out on pages five to ten. Respective responsibilities of Érussees ¥nd examiner The charity's tr￿8tte$ are restM)nsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the tern￿ of the Charities and Trustee InvestTnent (Scotland) Act 2(X)5 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (&8 amended). The clwity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation l(¥l)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my Jrsponsibility to ¢xamine the accounts as required under Section 44(1)(¢) of the Act and to stste whether particular matters have come to my attenuon. Bsi$ of exaMi￿er,3 statsment My examination was ￿rIed out in ￿cOrdanCe with Regulation I l of the Charities Acwunts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the a¢￿untIng records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideralion of any unusua] items or dI￿10S￿re$ in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you &8 tnL8tees concerning any such matte¢5. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would k requirJ in an audit. and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the ae¢ount& Independent exaniiDer's qualified statement There are two bank accounts for which the Trustees, have ￿en unable to provide ￿1 relevani statements. Tran￿¢£I0nS and yearond balances for these accounts have been estimat&J. Appyopriate adjLLStments are 10 made once the inforniation becomes available. In ¢onne¢tion with my examination. no other matter except that referred to in the above paragraph has come to my attention '. (l) which givc5 me reasonable cause to believe thaL in any materiai resrt the requirements to keep accounting reconls in accordance with Section 44(] Xa) of the 2(X)5 Ad and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulation5- and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulion 8 of th¢ 2006 Accounts Regulations have not Eten or (2) to which. in my opinion. attention should Ix drawn in otd¢r lo enable a pTh)per undeT3tanding of the ac￿Unts to be reached.
