Four school prizes are awai.ded each year (£25 voucher, along with trophies valued at £10 each) in the subjects of creative art and design, music, creative writing, and the Jessie Kidd Award for Photography.

The School of Rock and Pop are using their funds (£1,000) to convert a spare room in the school into a purpose made practice room/studio. Kelsi Sti"ang, an Art and Design probationei. at Graeme High School, approached Kiran's Trust in March to see if we could assist her with two clubs she wished to run. An arts game club where they play diffei'ent drawing games and a fashion club. Our suppoit (£200) was used to covei" the cost of some art games and minaturc fashion supplies. Esther Kallow received a grant (£IOOO) towards the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain after she was selected again for 2025.

There was quite a range of creative and educational activities Kiran's Trust helped to support this year. The piano lessons with a concert pianist continued in 2025 (£864). We also made sure there was another year of the Calm Kids programme (£600) as last year's feedback was the children benefitted hugely socially, emotionally and academically. Calm Kids is a programme that Joni Brown delivers within schools throughout Cowal. (Cowal is a peninsula in Argyll and Bute, on the west coast of Scotland). Based on the 'Zones of Regulation,, Joni is a trauma-inforn]ed yoga teach¢r who uses yoga and therapeutic movement to explore emotional literacy with children from 3 to I l years old.

We have supported her endeavours to Nn small classes for young people in her own home (£500). This set of projects have been very successful in helping these young kids learn good basic art, which they can grow from. This year was Tulliallan Primary School's 50th anniversary. So we got behind a project to make peg dolls wearing clothes for each of the five decades. It was such a success that even parents got involvedl ! ! Earlier in the year we were appi'oached by Alva Academy's Additional Support Needs department to assist in purchasing equipment (£500) required to help with supporting the young people in this department. This included items such as a sensoiy spinning chair and sensory wall.

KIRAN'S TRUST Independent Examlner's Report to the trustees of the charity on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2025 I report on the financial statements of the Charity on pages 10 to 15 for the year ended 31 December 2025 which have been prepared in accoi"dance with the Chai'ities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (The 2005 Act) and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (The 2006 Accounts Regulations) and with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRS102), cffective January 2016, as modified by the Charities SORP (FRS102), under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 12.

The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1 ) (a) to (c) The 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. Having satisfied mysef that the chai.ity is not subject to audit undei" company or charity law, or otherwise, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of The 2005 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken I conducted my examination in accordance with Regulation I l of The 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of thc accounts pi-esented with those records. It also includes considei"ation 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 infonnation supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below. I planned and perfornied my examination so as to satisfy mysclf that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before fmalising the report I obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.
