from the community, these included Easter Eggstravaganza, Spooky Saturday,
Christmas Fayre, Christmas Panto, Seniors Christmas dinner.
In addition we held a week long celebration VE display culminating in the presentation

fun day which was very well attended at no cost to the public. The Dalmellington
Community Association has also held a series of Tea Dances which are great events
to combat social isolation and were very well received.
All these events have been well received and remain very popular. The NHS
Health Hub is now fortnightly with a high uptake of appointments with scope to increase
the seniices provided.
Financial Review
Reserves pollcy
The trustees have assessed the level of free reserves (ie those funds not tied up in fixed
assets and designated and restricted funds) that the organisation requires to sustain its
operations and are aware they are dependant on the ongoing successful award of grants,
the trustees will not commit to any expenditure unless adequate resources are already in
place.
Principal funding sources
Principal funding to meet the costs of the organisation came from 9CCG and Renewable
Energy Fund and from lets and fundraising events.
The trustees would like to express their thanks to all the organisations who provided
funding to the Association during the year and to the members of the public who
