Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period

The main achievements of year 19/20 were:

Oak Note SCIO were asked to respond to a need for intergenerational work (online), or just with the elderly within our communities in Edinburgh, Clydebank and Perth and put in three unsuccessful funding applications - we were told this was due to Covid and restrictions on the pots of money available for this kind of work.
Oak Note SCIO piloted "Window Concert" in which we had three singers stand in the parking lot of Cherry Oak Care Home and sing to the residents from a safe distance (as per government guidelines at the time). This was well received and we applied for funding on the back of this pilot. Unfortunately we did not receive the funding but were asked to apply again. We are yet to do so.

	The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
	My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 accounts.
	In the course of 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 Accounts Regulations, and • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts 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.
