Community Centre
Activities within the Community Centre
The activities within the Community Centre have continued to gradually improve, returning to pre-pandemic levels although some groups have been unable to restart due to the fall in membership over the intervening two years. We now have four offices let in the schoolhouse building and the Drop-in Centre continues to be let for the temporary use by a local business.
We have completed the Centre’s move to carbon neutral status which has included a range of works which are now all complete. Some follow up work has been necessary working with the original contractor. The work involved has included upgrading the heating controller, pressurising the heating system, improving the hot water system, topping-up the insulation in the main roof, introducing LED lighting, installing PV solar panels and battery and an associated monitor.
Over the next few years the Trust will begin a series of projects to address some of the issues affecting the fabric of the building which were identified in a comprehensive survey undertaken in 2020.
The Bugle
The Bugle was set up by Gargunnock Community Trust Ltd to ensure there was a mechanism for everyone in Gargunnock to communicate with each other about issues, events and those things that make the people of Gargunnock smile.
Each issue is distributed free of charge to over 400 homes in and around Gargunnock and emailed to many more who have since moved on from the village but keen to keep in touch with village life. Each issue eventually finds its way to friends and family as far afield as New Zealand, Australia, Canada and America and is available on the Community website which is funded by the Trust but shared with other local organisations such as the Community Council, providing a one-stop source of information to local people.
We choose to call our village newsletter The Bugle as the Bugle and the Drum are steeped in the historic symbols of the village. They were purchased back in 1775 from the profits of an annual horse race after a public meeting decided to appoint a drummer to announce the hours of 5am and 9pm, as there was a lack of clocks in the village. The drum was used for dry days and the bugle for when it was wet.
The success of the Bugle is down to the people of Gargunnock feeling ownership for their village newsletter, they are always very keen to pass on:
-
updates on the many clubs in the village;
-
articles supporting fundraising; and
-
stories on local village history.
Each issue also has an update from:
-
the pupils at Gargunnock Primary School
-
Community Council news
-
Community Centre news
-
Community Trust news
-
Local police report
-
Church news.
This year there were four editions collated and edited by our young volunteer editor , ably assisted by her mother Shona.
While the Trust funds the Bugle it is hoped that through attracting additional advertising the burden on the Trust will lessen over time especially as it continues to be an important vehicle for sharing information about what is

happening within the community. The Trust will also continue to fund the community website which it shares with other organisations. This is currently undergoing a revamp to improve its legibility and accessibility in partnership with the Community Council.
Bite & Blether
The Bite & Blether continues to be enthusiastically received by the village community. It is held in the Community Centre on the first Wednesday each month providing excellent tea, coffee, soup and home baking and the opportunity for neighbours and friends to meet and catch up. It also provides a valuable source of income for the Community Centre.
The Beeches Path Improvement Project
Having secured funding from Paths for All (Ian Findlay Fund), the Clackmannanshire and Stirling Environment Trust and the Gargunnock Windfarm Fund the Beeches Path has now been fully upgraded with a new surface, safety barriers, new seating and picnic table. The improvements have been universally welcomed by the local community, evidenced by the number of positive comments posted on the community Facebook page.
Cycle Share Scheme
The Trust was successful in securing a significant grant from the Cycle Share Scheme which has allowed the purchase of a range of different bikes which are now available for borrowing by local residents. Plans are underway to build accommodation for the bikes at the Community Centre. The bikes will provide a very helpful addition to the assets available in the village and will, in time help encourage more active travel.
Gargunnock Village Shop
Major progress has been made in returning the shop to the village. The Trust and the Community Council have worked together to establish a new organisation, a Community Benefit Society (CBS), Gargunnock Community Shop Ltd. With its own separate board of directors, it now owns the shop. The CBS is a cooperative entity where the shareholders are members of the community with the intention of issuing shares for the community to purchase during August and September 2024.
The work to bring the shop up to a modern standard is extensive and has required major investment. The building will be as sustainable as possible. Funding has been secured from various sources which has allowed the redevelopment work to progress with the aim of having the shop open for Christmas 2024. The shop will be run by a commercial operator following an open tendering process, with the Community Company issuing a lease of the premises.
This report can provide only a summary of the activities that have taken place this year and the Trustees are immensely grateful to all the volunteers who have contributed to the work that was carried out in relation to all of the projects mentioned above.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Our principal source of income continues to be grants from various organisations so that they charity is able to carry out individual projects for the benefit of the community. This year the Trustees were successful in receiving funding form Stirling Council. Foundation Scotland, Sustrans, Paths for All, Clacks and Stirling Environmental Trust, Cycling UK and the Energy Saving Trust. Expenditure is focused on the delivery of the projects and in the running costs of the Community Centre. The following table provides a summary of income and expenditure for the ear.

Investment policy
The Trustees are aware of their responsibilities for safeguarding the charity's assets. They regularly consider the political, economic, legal and environmental factors that can affect funds and savings.
The Trustees have a duty to seek out suitable sources of income generation. The Trustees also consider that it is prudent to accumulate funds for reserves to meet their legal requirements for creditors. They also realise that this has to be balanced by ensuring that there are enough funds readily available to carry out its charitable aims.
The trustees have the power to invest funds in the best interests of the charity. To meet these ends the trustees have invested in a property, namely Gargunnock Community Centre which produces a base for the community to come together and also provides a regular income to increase the Charity’s current reserves. The trustees believe that the current investment has a suitable risk and reward profile that meets the investment criteria and risk appetite of the charity.
Principal risks
The charity has a risk register that is reviewed regularly by the Trustees. Health and Safety is regularly reviewed by the trustees; this includes maintaining the structural integrity of the Community Centre and monitoring the possible risks to which the charity is exposed and putting actions in place to mitigate these risks.
Reserves policy
The core funding source of the charity are the monies received through venue and room hire of the community centre. The level of this income has some uncertainty and therefore the trustees consider that around twelve to eighteen months of expenditure (excluding depreciation) is an appropriate level of reserves to have in place.
Free reserves at the year-end were :
| Total funds as at 30th June 2024 Less Fixed assets Less Designated funds Less Restricted funds Free reserves as at 30th June 2024 |
2024 2023 |
|---|---|
| £ £ 703,688 668,466 600,711 (593,288) 1,594 (25,000) 39,209 (17,430) |
|
| 62,174 32,748 |
Whilst reserves are currently higher than the target range, this is largely due to the receipt of income in relation to the Gargunnock Shop which is now an entity and this income will be going directly to the organisation. The trustees as always are currently considering how the additional funds can be best utilised in furtherance of the charity’s purposes.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Gargunnock Community Trust
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2024, which are set out on pages 10 to 21.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 ("the 2005 Act") and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) ("the 2006 Regulations"). The trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation (10)(1)(a)-(c) of the 2006 Regulations does not apply.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section (44)(1)(c) of the 2005 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 2006 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 concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter came to my attention:-
-
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 Regulations, and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Regulations
have not been met, or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
1. Basis of preparation
-
1.1. These accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with items recognised at cost or transaction value, unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s), in accordance with:
-
(a) The Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005
-
(b) The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended)
-
(c) The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)
-
(d) Charities SORP (FRS 102) Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition – October 2019)
-
1.2. There have been no changes to the basis of preparation of the accounts.
-
1.3. During the preparation of this year’s accounts, it was identified that certain expenditure should have been allocated to the Sinking Fund but was not. The Sinking Fund is a designated, unrestricted fund set aside by the trustees for a specific purpose. This designation is for administrative purposes only and does not limit the trustees’ ability to use the funds. To reflect the correct position, the trustees have now transferred the relevant amount from the Designated Fund to Unrestricted Funds.
-
1.4. As Gargunnock Community Trust is a “small charity” within the SORP definition (under £500,000 income) the Trustees have opted to make use of the simplifications permitted by SORP 2015 FRS102 for smaller charities. In particular, the allocation of income and expenditure on the Statement of Financial Activities has been adapted to the Charity’s circumstances, rather than following the functional classification specified in the current SORP.
-
1.5. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
-
1.6. The charity is dependent on the continuing support of its volunteers, donors and supporters. However, the trustees have no reason to consider that this will not continue or that there are any material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

-
(c) Restricted funds are those that may only be used for specific purposes. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor, or when funds are raised for specific purposes.
-
(d) The purposes of the funds are shown in Note 17.
-
2.2. Income

- (i) Land and buildings 2% Straight line (ii) Fixtures and fittings 20% Straight line (iii) Leasehold improvement 10% Straight line (iv) Building improvements 2% Straight line (v) Cycles 20% Straight line
-
2.5. Debtors

-
2.7. Creditors

Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount, usually the invoice amount.
-
(b) Accrued charges are normally valued at their settlement amount.
2.8. Financial instruments
