## **McKane Park Community Sports Hub**
## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period 1 September 2023 to 31 August 2024**
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
McKane Park Community Sports Hub was established in 2016 as an unincorporated Scottish charity and is governed by its own constitution.
The charity is directed by the trustees and they shall be entitled to appoint and remove any individual as a trustee by way of a resolution passed by majority vote at a meeting of the trustees. The trustees may regulate their proceedings as they think fit and a meeting shall be held at least once per year.
## **Charitable Purposes**
The organisation is a non-profit distributing charity whose principal objective is to advance the education of children, young people and adults by providing opportunities to engage in the study, practice and teaching of community sports and community learning which develops their spiritual, mental and physical capacities and enable them to improve their conditions of life.
## **Trustees**
The trustees who served the charity during the period were as follows:
## **Activities and achievements**
In the period being reported, no funding was received by way of grants or donations. No disbursements were made from funds. However, the efforts of the coaching staff at Dunfermline & Carnegie Cricket Club in summer 2023 were rewarded in 2024 by greatly increased numbers of junior and youth participants, so much so that cricket training for the youngsters took place on three nights per week. A publicity drive has been planned for 2024-25 to encourage active participation in all sports at the Hub, rugby union, cricket and squash as post-pandemic, the number of people practising a sport in the senior age groups is not increasing at an encouraging rate The fee incurred for the preparation of the 2023-24 accounts has been waived by the accountant.
## **Reserves**
Reserves at period-end were £9,131, being wholly unrestricted funds (2022-23 £9,131). Funds are held on deposit with Virgin Money bank [formerly the Clydesdale Bank]).

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of McKane Park Community Sports Hub**
## **For the period 1 September 2023 to 31 August 2024**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the period 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2023 which are set out on pages 4 to 6.
## **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) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 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 statement**
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 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
1. 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
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met, or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
