Women’s Federation for World Peace - Scotland Annual General Meeting - 21[st] April 2026

Chairperson’s Report

The Women’s Federation for World Peace - Scotland is delighted to report on activities, events and developments during 2025.

New Year’s Celebration

On 18th January, we started the year 2025 with friends at the Glasgow Peace Embassy to celebrate the new year and presented Deborah Carmichael, the Rotary Club's Environment Officer for the Southern Scotland region, with a Global Woman's Peace Ambassador Award.

Personal account working in the West Bank, Palestine

On 12[th] July, Jean Byrne from the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Accompaniment Program in Palestine and Israel shared her experience in the West Bank. She was on the monitoring Program in 2023. It was very informative and impartial. Some participants reflected, ‘I heard lots about Gaza, but didn’t know what was happening in the West Bank. This is truly educational, and I appreciate that WFWP organized this event.’

First Aid Course

On 28[th] August, the first aid course was organized to equip participants with essential life-saving skills and knowledge to respond effectively in emergencies—the training aimed to enhance confidence and competence in providing immediate care before professional medical help arrives. A staff member from St Andrew’s Ambulance Association introduced us to CPR and how to use the defibrillator. All participants appreciated the critical knowledge and the new life-saving skills they acquired.

Monthly Wellbeing meetings

WFWP Scotland started the Monthly Wellbeing meeting from September at the Southside Community Centre, Edinburgh. We meet every month for a different activity to enhance women's wellbeing. It’s free, and it brings women in the community together, regardless of their background. September – Mindfulness Crochet, October – Mini Notepad craft, November – Reflexology and Reiki, December – Key rings with Paracord Knots

Fundraising events

To ensure a stable fund, we went to a local car boot sale, held a Winter Craft Fair and participated in the Christmas Fair at East Craig Primary School. They were not only raising funds but also providing the opportunity to connect people.

Collaborating with other organisations

As a part of our networking effort, we helped various like-minded organisations.

We supported the events for ‘Me, Myself & I’ by offering craft sessions in May and September. Also, we offered a try-on a Kimono and Origami workshop at the ‘Unity is Strength’ event, which was celebrating multicultural Scotland in May.

Our gratitude goes to the support, dedication and commitment of our members, friends, and volunteers, who helped make these events and activities possible.

Independent Examiner’s Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2025

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Women’s Federation for World Peace - Scotland

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 8

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 charity’s trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 Regulations does not apply. 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 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 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 Regulations, and

to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 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.
