Report for St Mary’s for All SCIO
The charity trustees are pleased to announce its 10th year annual accounts for St Mary’s for All SCIO for the year ended 31st October 2025. The annual report, laid out in pages 5-9, currently based on a receipts and payments basis, presents a summary of our financial activities during the past year.
Funds
St Mary’s for All SCIO funds fall into two categories:
-
Unrestricted Monies in this category can be spent on any relevant activity and are represented in this report as the General Account.
-
Restricted Monies in this category have been received as a result of grant funding and are restricted to being spent for the purposes as determined by the funding body.
Receipts and Payments
Overall receipts of £62,831.67 came from Hall Hire, donations, grant income and contributions towards utilities from St Mary's Episcopal Church. The facilities celebrate its tenth anniversary in November 2025 and there are a number of celebrations planned as part of this. Payments of £68,171 relate to the ongoing running costs of the premises showing a deficit of £5,339.33 over the financial year. Two grants totalling £7,945 were received during the financial year. £11.51 of previously received restricted grant income was carried forward from previous years and has been used towards ongoiong costs during the accounting year, all grant funds were spent during the financial year.
Activities and Achievements
This year has been one of reviewing and preparing to ensure that our centre continues to serve the needs of our community. We have continued to invest in our facilities and technology preparing for the future. We are delighted that we continue to build positive relationships with new and existing user groups and organisations. In particular we are especially pleased that the spaces are used frequently for weekday use allowing us to share our warm welcome with our community.
The SCIO is grateful to the dedicated group of volunteers who continue to man the reception area and assist in day to day enquires and bookings that are received.
Receipts and Payments
Receipts this year were not sufficient to meet Payments incurred throughout the year. This was a result of investing in a variety of areas in our centre and maintence costs as we approached 10 years of being open. Some of the costs expended have been investment to increased energy efficiency which we anticipate will lead to lower expenditure going forward. St Mary’s for All relies on the rental from the user groups in order to meet our ongoing running costs. St Mary’s for All has been able to continue to meet its financial commitments, through our sustained rental income and additional grant funding. Utility costs are shared between St Mary's for All SCIO and St Mary’s Episcopal Church. The continued rising costs of utilties has had an impact on our expenditure during the financial year. At the end of the finanial year the centre was awaiting confirmation of approval of planning permission to install solar panels to support a reduction in ongoing running costs moving forward.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Mary’s For All SCIO, Hamilton
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st October 2025 which are set out in pages 4 to 8 of this report:-
Receipts and Payments Account for the year ended 31st October 2025 Statement of Balances as at 31st October 2025
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The SCIO Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the 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 2006 Regulations"). The SCIO Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) 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.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulations. 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 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 of the view given by the accounts.
lndependent examiner's 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) (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 Accounts Regulation 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.
