Structure, governance and management Constitution St David's Brdss Band SCIO is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation which is a community of interest based in Gorebridge, Midlothian and is open to individuals from any geographic area who want to play or learn to play a brdss or percussion instrument. The purposes and administration arrangements are set out in the constitution. Appointment of trustees The Bands trustees are elected to the Board by Members and Associate Members at the Annual General Meeting, which 15 held in autumn each year. The Board may co-opt trustees to fill any vacancies. Objectives and activities Charitable purposes St David's Brass Band SCIO'S purposes, as recorded in the constitution, are: i. To offer recreational facilities and provide recreational attivities wrth the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended. ii. The advancement of education. iii. The advancement of the arts, herttage and culture. iv. The advancement of community development. Summary of the main activities In relation to these objectives Premises progress: As the year 2024/25 progressed, our goal seemed to slip further and further away as the builder's costings spirdlled, even before they were appointed. In the meantime, the building required urgent work,. asbestos was removed, roof joists affetted by dry rot were repaired or replaced. A roofing contrattor was contracted to work on the dilapidated roof, at which time a PV array was also installed, before a builder was appointed. A different builder wa5 approached, following which, plans and costings stsrted to fall into place. In autumn, the roof work complete, a builder was appointed and started work in early December, making swift progress. The work was considered to be of a high standard. As March drew to a close, the end was in sight and it was more a matter of, Which week will it finally be finished?, By the end of March, the final touches continued into April and the return to our own rehearsal venue was tantslisingly near but not yet achieved. Banding activities: As with the previous year, rehearsals were mostly held in two church halls, with a third one being used in the run up to contests, to accommodate percussion usage. Following on from an update to both logo, and senior uniforms the previous year, youth polo shirts with logos were invested in. Their popularity led to the Band ordering polo shirts for senior band players, who each then paid for their own, with extrd ones being bought for the use of visiting players. In the Autumn, four very successful fundraising events were held with the funds raised going toward5 the hall renovation: St DaMIYs Brass Band SCIO Scottish Charity No. SC047976 Annual Report & Accounts 2024125 Page 2 of 17
One wa5 a sponsored Hallowe'en Walk by a former Youth player, to whom we are extremely grateful for his generosity in choosing the Band as his preferred charity. Equally sucSsful was a sponsored, online game-playing, 24-hour Streamathon by three senior members. A very organised board member arranged the other highly successful events: a promoted raffle and a Ceilidh, at which the raffle prizes were drawn. Senior Band: The senior band again played in two major conte5ts'. The Scottish Challenge contest in the autumn, when amazingly the band came fifth overall with the best resu to date, and the Scottish Championships in March when the performance was not quite good enough. Sadly, the long-running rehearsal difficulties had taken their toll and the senior Band will drop down to the Third Section from January 2026. Members will be keen to get a good result next year. However, these problems did not prevent the band from playing at the usual gala days and carolling events during the year. Other events included Fisherrow Harbour Festival; playing as the guest band at a Serenata Choir concert; One Dalkeith Official Openin& St. Matthew's Rosewell Garden Fete; Senior School Mock Court Presentstions night at the prestigious Signet Library,, A Christmas Setvice at Blackhall St Columba's in Edinburgh; in Gorebridge.. Beacon Open Doors Day and, a first for the band, the local Gorebridge Remernbran Sunday Servi, as well as the Christmas Lights switch on in both Gorebridge and Rosewell. One of the player5 entered the regional Scottish Ensemble and Solo contest, gaining a silver award. Youth Band: Recrutting new members for the Youth Band has been particularly difficult without a permanent rehearsal home. In spite of this, there is a small but loyal membership and even one or two new members. Hopefully more will join once Vogrie Hall is up and running. Nevertheless, they entered the Scottish Youth Championships in combination with another local Youth Band, in the non-competitive section. This gave valuable experience of playing on a large stsge in front of adjudicators, who also gave them feedback on their performance. To their delight, they were credited with a Gold Award. The Youth band is usually featured in our own conrtS and individual players may come along and join in at events such as carolling. As this year closed, these two Midlothian youth bands, together with a third one from the Borders, were in the midst of rehearsals in preparation for a joint youth cOnrt in aid of Canr Research in the coming May. Summary of the main achievements At such a challenging recruiting time for bands in general, it is an achievement to have been able to put a full band on Stage at the two contests entered, especially the Scottish when no'guest, player5 are allowed. The Band has been lucky to have a few new members across the senior and youth bands. In October, a small group of players went into a local Primary School to interest pupils in learning a brass instrument. The Band hopes to develop this avenue further in the fvture. The Band is becoming more widely known and is being asked to play at more vzried one-off events, as well as continuing to widen its relationships with other local musical ensembles. Trustee thanks The trustees extend their thanks, once more, to the Hall sub<ommittee for their perseveran and many hours of their time given to Vogrie Hall renovations and funding applications. The trustees also wish to extend their thanks to St Matthew's Parish for the protracted use of two of its church halls in Rosewell and Gorebridge and also to St David's Parish in Dalkeith for the use of their church hall in the weeks before contests.

Financial review Overview With total cash assets at the start of the year being just over £341.5CX) and cash assets at year end being just under £86,(MJ), one might think the band had been on a round the world tour. Far from it. The majority of funds, both coming in and going out, wpre restTiCted funds for the speafK purpose of renoAting Vwie Hall. General ¢xJtgoing was hEher than income lry a cx)nsKlerable margin, with some payments being for costs irNolved with the renovation of Vogrie Hall. The balan at year end. while depleted. is just sufficient for the normal running of the band. The unknown, fw both income and pwffjnts, i5 the running costs of the hall, On complete, and this will become evident over the first year of use. It is expected that arry fundraising efforts in the coming ar wr)uld be directed towards general funds. Restricted outgoing was almost all from furKls that were restricted to beirvd used for the rerK)NBtion of Vwie Hall. as was restricted income. It is go(xl to see tlwe funds we grUallY being used up as the rentiOnS progress. Taking all into account the Board did not recommend ary increase in member subscriptions at the AGM in October 2024. General, unrestricted funds- receipts General income VAS slEhdy down on the previo year, with four fundratsing events proceeds going towards restrthd funds. Band subscriptions continue to rdise a good part of the annual general income. The annual expected amount is betrNeen £5,(XX) arKI £5,5(Xl and the yearfs total fell well within these limits. The ban(fs performances again raised almost half of general income, coming from a we rdrEe of events, some of which were showcased in the Senior Band summary. [k)natnS were high again this year, oNr £2,(m. More than a quarter of thts was matthed fun(fing from three player employer. for time volunteered and for fundraisirvd. Almost the same amount was donations from player5 whose subs were at the reduced over-605 rate. but those to donate the differen, some of whh also qualified ft)r Gift Aid.

Grants awarded and Donations received this year There were seven restricted grants awarded, (of which three had been pledged previouslyl and two donations, as well as four fund-raising events, all contributing towards the Vogrie Hall renovation.

Total £30 Four fundraising events held for hall renovations raised a total of £4,499. Statement of the charity's policy on reserves The charity's polic¥ of having approximately a yearfs expenses in reSee has worked nicely for the general running of the Band. Yearly expenditure has usually been between £12,000 and £IS,IJJO. So this year's starting balance of £17,812 proved fortuitous with unusual expenses incurred relating to the renowdtions. With the unrestricted funds balance being nearly £IS,(XIO at the end of the year, and therefore sufficient for nomial use, it is a tribute to the efforts of the organisers of the four fundraising events who rdised funds towards the hall renovations, that would otherwise have had to come from general funds. However, it Is not a time for complacency. With the refurbished hall coming into use in the coming year, the trustees will have to keep close watch on income and outgoing and thus may have to revise the preferred reserves level for the following years. Details of any surplus I deflcit There was an overall deficit (£255,576) for the year and a deficit of both unrestricted1£2850) and restricted funds 1£252,7251. This was to be expected. Restricted funds for renovations, having built up, were now being used for their proper purpose and should be depleted further in the coming year. unStried funds also contributed to one-off renovation costs, thus depleting tho* funds t¢x).

Independent Examiner's Report to the Tru8tees of St David's Brass Band SCIO I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ending 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 8 to 17. 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 th¢ Charities Accounts {Scodand) 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 whcthcr particular matter5 havc cotnc to my attention. Basis of independent examiner's statement An examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the CharitAes Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includ¢s a revicw of the accounting records kcpt 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 exp12nations 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 ¢xaminer'5 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 accordancc with Section 44 (1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regu12tions, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not be¢n met, or to which, in my opinion, attention should bc drawn in order to enable a proper understandintr of the accounts to be reached.
