During the last 12 months, the DCDT team has contsnued wothng towards the ams outlined in the 10
Year Place Plan
Public Toilots.. The outconE of the Casde Park (Macm￿sprIngfield) housing development FS
Un￿rtain and has thr(w into doubt the likelihoJd of obtaining public toilets as part of that project.
Over the course of the year. DCDT has had several conversat￿nS with the Nation21 Park Authority
and Slirling Counryl about the ongoing need for publ￿ toilets and hlghl￿hted the significant income
that Drymen hospit81ty business will raise Ihrough the upwming W￿l10r Levy. In March 2026
Siirling Council announced that over £1 Ook had been made available for public toilets in Drymen.
DCDT are wothing with Strrling C￿Jr￿lI to prcMJress the project

FINANCIAL REVIE¥V
DCDT began the year in a secure posth with unr&strthd reserves of£15,157. Income
continues to te reliant on donations and rrembership subsuipti'ons. with a useful top up from bank
deposit interest. Wth interest rates continuing to fall at RBS {DCDTs main bankers), a decision was
made to open a new depostt account wth Unrted Trust Bank Interest on that (instant a(Less. tracker
account) is paid annualty in Cttober so these accounts do not reflect the additi.onal ￿tued interest
INov-March) of some £600+. Unrestricted income was £5,211 plus this £600 unclaimed interest.
Membetship income was down compared to 2024r25 by sonp £350. but there wa5 an improvement in
donations from the Piping in the Square events. DCDT ￿trOduC?j a new card payment coll¥tion box
whlch prove(J a grèat SU(XXSS.
The path and heritage leafiets were running knw. so a lapJe print run was made and efforts still
continue to market these in the village. An Incon￿ of over £400 was achieved by marketing them
through local businesses but there is skn.ll more work to do on thts. have substants.al St￿kS of both
herttage and path leafiets whth these do not ￿llert
Gift Aid receipts We￿ up on 2024r25 and the next claim (via the Small dona1K￿S scheff£) shu4V a
fvjrther increase on this following the eX￿l￿nt 2025 w'ping colleckn.
Administration, Insurance and Govemance expenses remain a perennial challenge, with no regular
income stream. That sa￿, DCDT ended the year wth unrestricted fvnds of £14.997 which i8 onty
slighty lower than the opening balance.
Projects that continue to be furKled by grant scheff*s {restricted bJnds} are summarised on Page 9.

DCDT continue to hold £29,227 for the Connecting Communities Project, which will be reallocated to any new organization who recommences that project. It refers to the remaining cycle path between Drymen and Balmaha which was aborted during the pandemic. 

The leaflets fund has now been spent in full, as part of the leaflet reprint. 

The E Bike Project continues and E Bikes are available for community benefit in exchange for a small membership fee. There are on-going costs including servicing, a booking widget and insurance. Drymen Meanders, a weekly cycling group continues to grow in popularity. 

The website fund covers hosting and email costs for www.drymen.org. 

The Public Toilet Project has been stalled due to planning delays but remains an on-going initiative. 

The Energy Local Project is working with Buchanan Hydro to introduce a local energy scheme. A decision was recently made to novate the project entirely over to Buchanan Hydro, who will continue to work with others to bring the scheme into fruition. 

Drymen War Memorial Restoration was a project working with The War Memorial Trust to repair and conserve the memorial in the village. In March this year, Stirling Council, employed contractors to do remedial works. This has resulted in DCDTs project being terminated. 

The Skatepark Project is a long term project looking at developing a small park for youngsters in the village to enjoy. A group is exploring site possibilities and designs, and working with Stirling Council. The funding allocation here is towards 'concept drawings' prior to developing a feasibility study.
