Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period

Recent meetings with HES have been very beneficial in pushing things forward. They suggested that we join with another local charitable group with similar interests (Laggan Opportunity & Amenity Fund), to put a joint application for grant funding forward. This is on the premise that together we stand a higher chance of attracting the funding required to move both projects forward. Several meetings took place over the year and on the advice of Argyll & Bute Council we formed a joint KKCPA/LOAF sub-group which will meet regularly to co-ordinate a funding application to HES and any other interested bodies who may be able to fund the preservation of these ancient chapels and their mediaeval grave slabs. Both groups have signed a Minute on Understanding and engaged the services of a highly respected conservationist to project manage the application and required works. Interim emergency measures have been identified by our specialist to make all three sites safe and an application for a 3 year plan of full works was submitted in Feb 2023 to HES.

Financial review

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the account5 presented with those records. It also includes consideration of unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the twstees conceming 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 bythe accounts.
