ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The board of Trustees meet on the first Monday of each month. “Galston News” is our quarterly magazine which is used to communicate with members and the general public.
We organised the annual Gala Day in July 2025. The event helped raise wider public interest and raised funds for the activities of the Trust.
We are renting empty shop premises in the town centre and commenced operating a charity shop in November 2021.
After acquiring the derelict Portland Arms in July 2015, The Portland was officially opened in March 2018 after 10 months of construction work and receiving grants from Big Lottery, Ayrshire Leader, the Renewable Energy Fund and CARS. The Portland has a community room, an office for the Trust and office space that is rented to five local businesses.

Trustees' Annual Report (continued) for the year ended 31 July 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with current statutory requirements.
The Statement of Financial Activities indicates net expenditure for the year of £38,055 (2024: £55,038) and total funds of £796,489 (2024: £834,544) at 31 July 2025, of which £783,967 (2024: £832,458) relates to Restricted Funds.
INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE
The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of running the charity, have kept available funds in a current account.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees have assessed the major risks, financial and non-financial, to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate any exposure to the major risks as a result of this review.
RESERVES POLICY & GOING CONCERN
Although it is the policy of the charity to maintain Unrestricted funds (i.e. funds not designated, committed, or invested in fixed assets) at a sufficient level to cover administrative costs, the charity's core activities are mainly financed by Restricted Funds. Accordingly, the charity's Unrestricted reserves largely represent funds arising from donations. Unrestricted funds per the General Fund at 31 July 2025 were £12,522 (2024 funds held £2,086).
Trustees have considered projections and are confident about the prospects of the charity for at least the next 12 months. Project expenditure can be adjusted according to the available funding. Therefore, the trustees consider that the charity is a going concern.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
We continue to run a successful after-school club and holiday club.
We plan to continue running the charity shop and will be moving this into larger premises once the old library building becomes available.
We will continue running the Galston Gala Day, Christmas Fair and Christmas Pensioners Lunch.
The Trustees are carrying out feasibility work on installing two padel tennis courts, reinstating a cross at The Cross, redeveloping the Barrmill Stadium.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES for the year ended 31 July 2025
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
~ state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
~ prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the provisions of the charity's constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Accounting convention
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
‘The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
12) Going Concern
Tho accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have assessed the Charity's ability to
continue as a going concern and have reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foresceable future. There are funds currently available to meet all liabilities when they
become due and if there are any changes in position the Trustees will make the necessary adjustments to service
provision and staffing. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these accounts.

Voluntary income including donations, gifts and logacies and grants that provide core funding or are of general nature
are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient
reliability. Such income is only deferred when the donor specifics that the grant or donation must only be used in
future accounting periods, or when the donor has imposcd conditions which must be met before the charity has
unconditional entitlement,
Tacome from charitable activities including income received under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is
subject to specific performance conditions is recognised as camed as the related goods or services are provided. Grant
income in this category provides funding to support performance activities and is recognised where there is
entitloment, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
