from the local community to meet and support on another.
REVIEW OF THE PERIOD
During the year, the charity continued its activities in pursuit of its aims. The charity continued to
rely on the support and expertise of a committed team of employees and Trustees.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
In this 12th year of operation. the Trustees are satisfied that Finn's Place operated within the scope
of its funding in 2025, with a surplus generated during the year. Participation in activities offered
through Finn's Place continued to grow, reflecting increasing engagement and demand within the
community- The Trustees recognise that the charity is entering a period of financial uncertainty as
existing funding streams come to an end, including National Lottery funding due to conclude in
March 2026. However, active steps are being taken to secure new sources of income, and the
Trustees remain confident thac with continued support and careful financial management, Finn's
Place will continue to operate effectively.
RESERVES
At 31 December 2025, Finn's Place held total cash and bank balances of £42,153, representing a
modest increase of £660 over the year. These reserves provide a degree of financial stability and
support the charity in managing short-term commitments and operational needs. The Trustees
consider the current level of reserves to be appropriate in the context of anticipated funding
changes and are committed to maintaining prudent oversight of resources. This will ensure that

Finn's Place remains well placed to manage forthcoming financial challenges while continuing to
deliver its services to the community-

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FINN'S PLACE
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2025 which are set out on
pages 5 and 6.
RESPEcfivE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The Charity Trustees are responsible for the preparations of financial accounts in accordance with
the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts
(Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
The Charity Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1){d) of the Accounts
Regulation does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under
section 44(1llcl of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT
An examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts
(Scotlandl Regulations 2006 (as amended). An examination includes a review of the accounting
records kept by the Charity and a comparison on 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 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 view given by the accounts.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT
In the course of 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){al of the 2005 Act and
Regulation 4 of the 200 Accounts Regulations (as amended), and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation
9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations {as amended)
have not been met, or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
