## Trustees’ Annual Report for Lothian 4x4 Response ## **For the year ended 31[st] March 2025** The trustees have pleasure in presenting their report together with the financial statements and the independent examiner’s report for the year ended 31[st] March 2025. ## Reference and Administrative Information Charity Name: Lothian 4x4 Response Charity Number: SC041830 Address: 35 Wilson Avenue, Dalkeith, Midlothian EH22 . Current Trustees: Trustees throughout the period were, note that we changed the date of our AGM from May to October. ## Structure, Governance and Management Constitution – throughout this period the charity was a SCIO governed by its constitution which was adopted on 4[th] May 2016, having been granted SCIO status by OSCR on 24[th] March 2016. Charitable status of the original, unincorporated association charity, Lothian 4x4 Response, dates from 14[th] October 2010. Appointment of Trustees - the trustees normally meet on a monthly basis. All members of Lothian 4x4 Response are eligible to be elected as trustees. Under the constitution there must be no less than four and no more than eight trustees. For this reporting period the trustees were elected at the Annual General Meeting in May 2023 which was held in-person. An AGM was held in November 2023 but did not result in any changes to Trustees and future years the AGM will be held in Autumn, leaving the May meeting night for other activities. Management - the trustees are responsible for the strategic direction and governance of Lothian 4x4 Response. The management committee is responsible for the day-to-day running of the team. There are no paid members of staff. The trustees are particularly aware of their responsibilities for Health and Safety. The team has public liability, personal accident and equipment insurance. All active members of Lothian 4x4 Response are members of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. Charitable Purposes - to promote the welfare, relieve the needs, protect and preserve the health of those in the community who are isolated during periods of adverse weather conditions, environmental hazard and local emergencies, or as required. Activities - the charity’s activities are primarily concerned with raising skill and expertise levels within the team so that members are competent to perform their Responder role with Lothian 4x4 Response with safety and professionalism. Activities also include building working relationships with the User Services so that, when the need arises, they and the team are able to work together effectively. ## Achievement and Performance Lothian 4x4 Response has Memoranda of Understanding with a number of key organisations and is increasingly playing a part in strategic emergency planning for the Forth Valley and Lothian & Borders areas. The team have supported numerous external events during the reporting year, the majority of these came with a financial contribution to the group as well as reimbursement of volunteer expenses. We were also able to attend other events for fundraising (tombola etc) or to promote the group to prospective volunteers. ## Financial Review Our overall financial position for the reporting period was a surplus of £3,226.58. Total income was £10,308.24, expenses £7,081.66. Significant income came from event suport £6,120.74 and fundraising £1,453.85 Main expenditure was on an ID card printer and consumables at £1,345.14 and digital radio sim renawals at £569.05. There were no restricted funds received or spent in the reporting period. ## Reserves Policy The trustees’ policy is to maintain reserves at a level to allow for running costs if the team is mobilised, enabling Responders to be reimbursed for fuel costs in a timely manner and in anticipation of delays in Lothian 4x4 Response being reimbursed by the relevant User Services. As we are registered as suppliers to our main User Services and furnish them with invoices for recovery of our costs resulting in reducing delays in reimbursement payments, it was felt that we could continue to hold the reserves at the present level of £3290. ## Plans for Future Periods The trustees’ plan is to ensure that the charity continues to provide and develop the services it provides to support the User Services in the geographical areas it covers, and to provide activities and training for its members in order to do this in a safe and professional manner. Approved by the trustees April 2025 and signed on their behalf by: Lothian 4x4 Response Treasurer’s Report for 2024/25 The accounts for 2024–2025 remain healthy, with the main account showing a balance of £26,612.38, representing a surplus of £3,226.58. The secondary account retains a balance of £3,290.00 for contingencies. This positive position reflects a busy year with numerous callouts, events, and fundraising activities. Our largest fundraising event was the Yomp, which generated £3,546.84 in income. In addition to regular expenditures for insurance, ARM, and member expenses, we also made several key investments this year, including: - An ID printer and cards – £1,345.14 - A set of digital radios – £569.05 Our reserve policy is to maintain funds at a level sufficient to cover running costs in the event of mobilisation, ensuring responders can be reimbursed for fuel expenses promptly, even if reimbursement from User Services is delayed. The current reserve balance is £3,290.00. An additional £30.00 will be transferred to the main account in April 2025. Looking ahead, our plan is to ensure the charity continues to provide and develop services that support our User Services across the areas we cover. We will also continue to deliver activities and training opportunities for our 4x4 team members to ensure all operations are conducted safely and professionally. Investments in both training and PPE equipment for members will be a key priority in the coming year. ## Main Account ||Balance 1st April 2024|23,385.80| |---|---|---| ||Balance 31st March 2025|26,612.38| |Incoming|Membership|921.00| ||Fundraising|1,453.85| ||Event Support|6,120.74| ||Callout Fees|1,221.00| ||Other|41.65| ||Donations|550.00| ||Total|**10,308.24**| |Expenses|Training|50.39| ||Events|1,870.93| ||Equipment|237.57| ||Expenses|19.80| |Expenditure|Training|217.50| ||Tech|2,125.06| ||Equipment|1,315.91| ||Event|13.00| ||Fundraising|126.00| ||Governance|50.00| ||Insurance|505.60| ||Expenses|549.90| ||Total|**7,081.66**| ||Surplus|**3,226.58**| ## Second Account ||Balance 1st April 2024|3,260.00| |---|---|---| ||Balance 31st March 2025|3,290.00| |Income|Membership|30.00| APPENDIX 2 Enter SC No. below Enter charity name below ## **Lothian 4 x 4 Response (SCIO)** ## **SC041830** ## **Receipts and payments accounts** ||||||Period start date|Period start date|Period start date|Period start date|||||||Period end date|Period end date|Period end date|Period end date|Period end date|||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**For the period**
