APPENDIX 1
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of
Ihe charity during the financial period
During the financial period, the charity successfully delivered a wide range
of activities that strengthened community engagement and enhanced the
castle's heritage value. Key highlights included the annual Easter event
and a highly successful Doors Open weekend, which attracled strong
public interest despite adverse weather conditions.
The charity maintained effective partnership working through quarterly
meetings with North Ayrshire Council (NAC) and Historic Environment
Scotland (HES), supporting ongoing collaboration and long-temi planning.
A significant milestone was the reopening of the castle gate, achieved
after an extended period of joint work with NAC, improving public access
to the site.
Community outreach was further strengthened through participation in the
Ardrossan Christmas Lights Switch-on parade, helping to raise the
charity's profile and celebrate local traditions. In addition. the charity
delivered numerous guided tours and visits for members of the public,
community groups, and schools, increasing access to local heritage and
supporting education and leaming.
The charity also held its first Castle Ceilidh. a new fundraising initiative
that successfully raised funds towards the retum of historic cannons to
Castle Hill, known locally as Cannon Hill. Collectively, these achievements
demonstrate the charity's ongoing commitment to heritage preservation,
education, and active community involvement.

Respective
responsibilities of
trustees and examiner
The charity's truslees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance
with the terms of Ihe 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)Idl 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.
My examination is carried out in accordance wrth Regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulats'ons.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and
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 audrt
opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Basis of independent
examiner's statement
Independent examiner's
statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
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.
