Riccarton Community Hub is governed by a constitution which remains the same as that submitted during the SCIO registration process. The organisation is overseen by Trustees in line with the terms of the Constitution. ## **Appointment of trustees** Trustees are appointed in line with the constitution. ## **CHARITABLE PURPOSE** The objectives of the charity are: To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Riccarton and its environs without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions by associating with the local authorities, voluntary organisations, the independent sector and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants. ## **SUMMARY OF MAIN ACTIVITIES** The Hub has been going as a Trust for over four and a half years since becoming a SCIO. The Trustees are encouraged with the increased usage of the premises especially with local inhabitants of Riccarton which is shown by the increased turnover. ## **Funding** We have continued to be pro-active in our funding application approach. During the financial year the trust made a surplus of £3703. The balance in the bank is £13845. ## **Reserves Policy** Riccarton Community Hub will endeavour to keep at least three months costs in the bank account at any one time to ensure all costs are covered. Signed on Behalf of the Board Trustee 25 November 2025 ## **Independent Examiners Report** ## **Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Riccarton Community Hub (SCIO)** I report on the accounts of the above-mentioned charity for the period to 31[st] March 2025 as set out on the attached pages. ## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustee 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 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 Examiners Report** My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 Examiners 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 reach a proper understanding of the accounts.
