Maranatha Camp
Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period Ended 30 September 2025
The Trustees are pleased to present their report together with the Accounts of the charity for the period ended 30 September 2025.
Status of Charity and Governing Document
Maranatha Camp is established by Constitution and is a Scottish Charity (No SC046636). Maranatha Camp was recognised as a charity by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator on 21 June 2016.
Charitable Objectives and Aims
The charitable objectives of the charity are to advance the Christian religion and to organise recreational activities with the object of improving the conditions of life for participants. The main event undertaken by the charity is an annual Christian summer camp.
Trustees and Office Bearers
The Trustees and Office Bearers who served during the year are as listed on Page 1.
Appointment of Trustees
Trustees are nominated for appointment by the existing charity members. The existing trustees give careful consideration to the nominees, based on their suitability and skills which they can bring to the charity. A vote is then taken at the Annual General Meeting, with the successful candidate being appointed as Trustee. In line with the charity constitutions, each Trustee serves for a one year period, after which they must seek re-appointment at the Annual General Meeting. Prior to their appointment, Trustees would have served the charity, generally as a leader at the annual summer camp, and would be familiar with the charity’s values, its aims and objectives as well as its day-to-day operations. As part of their induction to the role, new Trustees are required to understand their statutory responsibilities.
Achievements and Performance
The main event during the period was the annual summer camp. This is a week long camp, which attracted approximately 100-110 young people, and is facilitated by approximately 40-50 leaders.
The charity works with young people aged 10-17 and on the whole, the leaders have been campers themselves in prior years.

Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period Ended 30 September 2025
In relation to funding :
-
The charity’s activities are funded by payments received from campers and leaders to cover the cost of the summer camp.
-
The charity also receives funding by way of one-off gifts from individuals or other charities, and the receipt of grant funding from a number of local councils.
Financial Review
Results for the year
The Accounts for the period ended 30 September 2025 have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis.
Per the Statement of Receipts and Payments on Page 5, the charity reported a Deficit for the period of (£6,551) (2024: Net Receipts of £15,789).
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain Unrestricted Funds, i.e. funds not committed or invested in fixed assets, at a level around £5,000. This allows sufficient funds to enable the ongoing work of the charity to be maintained. The General Fund (Page 6) at 30 September 2025 amounted to £21,479 (2024: £28,030) which, although above the required level, was acceptable to the Trustees.
The Charity’s unrestricted funds are significantly above the level required by the reserves policy, and therefore the Trustees have no concerns that the Charity can to continue to meet its stated objectives.
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the charity’s financial position and enable them to ensure that the Accounts comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the provisions of the charity’s Constitution. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Maranatha Camp
I report on the Accounts of the charity for the period ended 30 September 2025 which are set out on pages 5 to 7.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
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 (as amended). The charity’s 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.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statements
My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts 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 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 view given by the Accounts.
Independent 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 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
- to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Accounts to be reached.
