Chair report:
I would like to welcome everyone to our 2025 AGM. It was a bit of a slow start to the drop in after the New Year as always but it was soon back to normal.
This year our drop in usage is sitting at 1,944 which is slightly up from last year.
We ahave had Four Pillars (LGBQT) and a local autism group using our premises this year which is good for People First because it helps get word of us out there. It also helps for funding applications and takes in a little rent.
We have had a couple party nights which everyone have enjoyed and are all looking forward to our Christmas panto this year which we attend annually.

Friends of People First Fraserburgh SCIO SC047261
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 11 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities
Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). 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.
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.
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
-
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.
