A decision was laken to change the legal structure to become a

change to the charity's name to describe the activities more
accuratety and an updated constilulion. OSCR has now given
the necessary permission and a SCIO called Woodmill
Community Park has been set up. The litle deed for the main
asset being the land hag been Iransfeffed to Woodmill
Community Park. A Special General Meeting of Torrance
Community Inilialive is being held in June to approve that this
charity should be wound up and the remaining assels
transferred to W(K)dmill Community Park.
In ternis of improving the park, a local tree surgeon was
contracted to cul down some unsafe Irees which were
overhanging an adjoining garden. Also, due to concems about
the changing weather pattems and the need lo establish the
condition of the trees around the park. a tree inspection and
survey were carried out. This hKJhlighted the presence of ash
dye back and identif￿d tr*s to be cut down. Two grants were
applied for and awarded for the costs of the tree survey and tree
felling. East Dunbartonshire Climate Action Hub Seed fund
gave £500 and East Dunbartonshire Council gave £1196.
Following the transfer lo Ihe new SCIO. the Board will be
establishing the full cost of the trees identified to be taken down
and how this will be funded. This will secure the fijlure of Ihe
remaining trees in the park.
For fundraising there were 2 main events during this financial
year. Firstly the Campsie Show was another great fundraising
success and worth the hard work collecting the prizes and
running the tombola stall as seen in the £853 fundraising total in
the accounts. Secondly a music COn￿rt took place in the k)cal
hall and £430 was donated lo charity from the ticket donations
and raffle. The Board would like to thank Alan Reid for all his

Independent Examiner's Report to the Torrance Community Initiative member3
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2026 which are
set out on pages 5 to 7.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in
accordan￿ with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act
2005 and Ihe Charities Accounts {Scotland) Regulations 2006 {as amended). The
charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10{1) Id) of the 2006
Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts
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 accordan￿ with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Account5
Regulations.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks
explanations from the trustees conceming any such matter. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently I do not express and audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's ststement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention-
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements..
To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act
and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
To prepare accounts which accord with the a￿oUntIng records and comply with
Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
Have not been met, or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
