This support has enabled SMCRC to retain funds in reserve for future works. ## **Board Structure** During the year , one of the members of SMCRC decided to retire. The Board wishes to put on record its grateful thanks to Peter for the many years of hard work both with accounts and hall management and his dedication to the life of the centre.

The Board will continue to seek new members to ensure that it meets its aim of ensuring all functions can be covered by more than one individual. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Overview** Total income for the year: £29,200 Total expenditure for the year: £23,612 Leaving the surplus of £5,588 ## **Reserves Policy** The trustees believe that six months' expenditure within the general fund is a safe amount to allow for the timing differences between receipts and payments and for the trustees to seek funding as required which as per this year’s expenditure is calculated as £11,806 The reserves at the yearend are £12,014 which is above the target. ## **APPROVAL** This report was approved by the trustees in June 2025 and signed on their behalf by: Treasurer 6 | P a g e - Scottish Charity **No SC042335** ANNUAL REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Independent Examiner's Report SURREALIST •LYTI•#I LlhllTI• 31 Oecomber 2025 The ch¥1VStnts￿esOle rtsNwdlb* the •ta>•)ts In x(4¥d•￿ Th4th ihe My etsfflination Is In xrordanco wlth OSc*SG￿dan(￿ on Exaninatsn.
