The area within which BCA operates is defined in the constitution as that part of the civil parish of Birse known as Ballogie and that part of the civil parish of Aboyne which lies to the south of the River Dee and to the north of Ballogie.
ACTIVITIES and ACHIEVEMENTS
BCA was established in 2017 and registered with OSCR on the 19th of September of that year. The new organisation was established to assume responsibility for the activities previously provided through Ballogie Halli Committee. Following closure of Ballogie Hail and its eventual demolition, it was resolved that the Ballogie Hall Committee be wound up, with community activities and events coming under the auspices of the new Ballogie Community Association.
During the year, BCA held a successful Community Christmas Gathering, hosted at Potarch Cafe in December, well supported by local residents who enjoyed mulled wine, mince pies and music and carol singing.

$€047754 Ballogie Community Association Report for Year Ended 30 September 2025 INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES e, . | report on the accounts for the year ended 31-Gelaber 2025 as set out in this document.
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) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 40(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 examiner’s statement
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, | do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
independent examiner's 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
-
0 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.
