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:

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 suc￿Ssful 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 con￿rtS 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 cOn￿rt in aid of Can￿r 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 pwffj*nts, 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 gr￿UallY being used up as the ren￿tiOnS 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 w￿e rdrEe of events, some of
which were showcased in the Senior Band summary.
[k)nat￿nS were high again this year, oN*r £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 wh￿h also qualified ft)r Gift Aid. The
Band is grateful to the organisers of an Edinburgh Fringe event, who chose to donate an evenin¢s fundraising to
St David's 8rdSS 8and sao.

Small donations from members, received for attending a meeting. 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 reSe￿e 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.
un￿Stri￿ed funds also contributed to one-off renovation costs, thus depleting tho* funds t¢x).
Outstanding liabilities
An invoice for a p-buu package, a hamess and a bass stsnd has yet to be issued (£427, unrestricted)
Final invoices from the outgoing Gas provider1£93, unrestricted}
An independent examination fee for the Annual Report and Accounts {£720, unre5trictedl
UK Gov. Community Ownership Fund has a final amount required for an audit of the fund (£1,8CK), restrirtedl
The unrestricted liabilities amount to £1,240 and the restritted liabilities trj £1,800.
In total there are outstsnding liabilities of £3,040.

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.
