Charity Trustees
Trustees are chosen for their interest in the work of the home. They may
be related to, or be friends of, residents or former residents. According
to the constitution, directors and staff of Bandrum Nursing Home must
not be in a majority of the Board of trustees to ensure that the charity
considers the needs of the residents rather than the financial needs of
the company.
Objectives and activities
The charity's purpose is to provide extra opportunities for the residents
of Bandrum Nursing Home to engage in activities that would not
otherwise be open to them, and to help integrate them into the local
community.
The residents of the nursing home are very varied in age, and in the
different abilities they have. It was agreed that the charity should help
them discover their talents and develop their strengths to improve their
general well-being.

The two years to 31" March 2024 were focussed on providing
experiences to compensate the residents who had been isolated from
friends and family for nearly two years because of the pandemic.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is governed by a constitution drawn up according to a
standard SCIO (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation) and is
regulated by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator {OSCR).
Trustee recruitment and appointment
The charity is looking for new trustees who will help with the process of
integrating residents into the community and providing them with the
resources and equipment which will enable them to enjoy as full and
normal a life as possible.
Achievements and performance
In 2023 an interactive table was purchased. It is a large touch screen
which makes it possible for residents with restricted mobility to join in
activities.
In the year to 31" March 2025, the charity was fortunate in receiving
£18,301 from the estate of a previous resident, and the trustees used this
to buy a second interactive table costing £5,388 and a specially adapted
wheelchair for a severely disabled resident, costing £5,263.
h June 2024 a fete was held which not only provided funds but also
helped the residents engage with local people and enjoy a day in the
sunshine. In September there was an outdoor art fair at which art works
made by staff and residents were sold.

Financial review and reserves policy
As a result of receiving the substantial legacy, the charity had a
surplus of £9,800 even after buying two major items of equipment.
From 2020 to 2024, there was a deliberate policy of using reserves to
help with the privations caused bythe pandemic. This emergency is now
over, and the Trust wishes to build reserves to meet its objectives to
ensure that all residents are able to take part in activities and are not
disadvantaged by lack of funds.
Donated facilities and services
Bandrum Nursing Home provides all office and facilities for the charity
without charge. Directors and staff as well as the trustees give their time
as volunteers.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the trustees of the
Friends of Bandrum SCIO for the year to 31" March 2025
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in
accoraance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005
Act 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 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 attentron.
My examination is 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 Con￿rning any such matter5. 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,
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
requirement to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) la)
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
