Pass approach to Cumnock. We tried sowing wildflower seeds correc, along with the daffodils but they didn’t grow. However, ae “= some were sown in a flower bed in the middle of the town and they provided a great show, attracting lots of insects 9 =and commented on by many people. We also planted : about 1,000 bedding plants, provided by the council, in flower beds round the town, and maintained some flower beds, that we planted with perennials, a few years ago.
One of the wishes from the surveys, that we distributed to all houses in Cumnock, was that derelict areas in the town should be developed. One such area was in Tower Street, which is between the Square and Bus station in the middle of Cumnock. There was an Old Folks Cabin on the site, but this was burnt down a few years earlier. It took a few years to have a small park constructed on the site. Unfortunately, soon after completion, some panels of the roof, of the covered area, were dislodged and the coping stones on top of the wall were taken off. We managed to get a grant and repaired both, but a few of the coping stones have been dislodged again.
inds We have restricted and unrestricted funds The unrestricted funds have decreased because we have not done any fundraising to cover overheads. The first Action Plan ran from 205 till 2021. We are now in the process of getting the 2" generation action plan going, and will be actively fund raising, when the plan is launched, hopefully early next year.

“ee eee ee sis reserves
----- End of picture text -----
Currently we have no specific policy on reserves . However the new committee for 2025/26 will be looking into how to prepare one .as we need to hold a minimum of funds to cover the cost for our yearly Public Liability Insurance.
Details of any deficit We do not owe any money and have enough restricted funds in reserve to cover the upkeep of our ongoing projects.
Donated facilities and services We do not have any donated facilities or services at the moment

We are in the process of gathering the information from the public. This has been done by delivering to all the houses in Cumnock, Pop up events and discussions with prominent individuals and business owners in the community.

rustees and examiner | 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

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, | do
not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements:
