Elgin Town Hall For The Community Ltd
Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30 June 2026
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2026. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
The trustees, who are also the directors of Elgin Town Hall for The Community Ltd for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2026.
The charity filed dormant accounts to the year end 30 June 2018 and began to operate on 1 July 2018. Elgin Town Hall for the Community Ltd became a registered charity from 6th June 2018.
The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2026 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's [governing document], the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016)
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity was originally established to save Elgin Town Hall from closure in 2018 and to position it so that it could, thereafter, continue to function in a financially sustainable manner. This objective remains in place, alongside the following.
The advancement of citizenship and community development. The advancement of the arts, heritage, culture and science.
The provision of recreational facilities, with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities and activities are primarily intended.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
1. Principal Reason for Formation of Charity
The main motivation behind local people within the Moray community coming together to form the charity, was the desire and determination to save Elgin Town Hall from closure by the Moray Council with effect from July 2018. The understanding was that the Hall would only be kept open if a community group was formed and met the criteria for running a Hall in their own right.
One the basis of the financial case that we were able to make to the Council, we were allowed to take over the running of the Hall from August 2018.
We are currently working with the Moray Council to establish Heads of Terms and Lease contracts for the anticipated return to the Hall following the renovations which are now at the point of starting. We expect that a future lease will be granted for a minimum of 30 years, which will allow the Charity access to funding opportunities which currently are out with our reach. Our solicitors are currently working with The Moray Council to complete the contract.
2. Beneficiaries of Elgin Town Hall for the Community
The Board recognised that access to the Hall was originally intended mainly for the citizens of Elgin but what we have brought about was aimed at the community of Moray as a whole. Reflecting this as an essential development, we made changes to our "Articles of Association" at the Annual General Meeting held in August 2019, that redefined "community" as being Moray-wide and not attached to specific Moray postal codes as was previously the case.
We very much believe that our community has very much appreciated the way in which the Hall is operated and the transformation that we have made. The refurbished venue will allow new and exciting events to take place, as well as those we currently offer. Conversations are taking place with National Theatre of Scotland as well as other creative organisations which we hope will be met with excitement and anticipation by the Moray community. We anticipate that the reach of the Hall will increase over the next few years and that this will contribute to the ongoing economic development of Moray as a whole. Moving into next year, we also look forward to welcoming a local Gaelic Mod.
3. Purpose of Charity
Elgin Town Hall for the Community was established to provide our community with access to a venue that provides a breadth of high quality and affordable events that amount to something for everyone and which makes them want to return, time and time again. This remains the rationale for our existence, and we endeavour to strengthen our local economy by attracting more visitors to the Hall.
4. Impact of Charity
The Charity has brought about a hugely significant transformation of the Hall since its inception in August 2018 in terms of what our community was keen to respond to. This was evident in the breadth of opportunities available to them and their take up of what we offered.
We have offered events for up to 600 patrons and we have also developed and delivered opportunities for many community groups to use the Hall on a regular basis. This confirms the importance that we see as a Board in providing very much needed social opportunities for all, as well as being a venue that has a growing economic impact locally.
As we move into the refurbished Hall, our capacity will increase significantly, and we look forward to welcoming more patrons with capacities of 800 (standing) and 580 (seated) in the main auditorium plus the new studio space.
We also continue to support local groups who use the Hall for a wide variety of activities. Supporting young people to engage in dance, theatre, gymnastics etc. Facilitating activities for adults including education, dance, fitness etc
5. Charity's Challenge
The challenge that our Charity faced last year, continues into this year. Our current venue is so much smaller than Elgin Town Hall, and although we are seeing an increase in numbers of people attending events, an increased number of events, and an increase in demand for space within the building, this still does not equate to the lost revenue situation, leaving us still somewhat concerned about the financial stability of the organisation.
Page 2
Elgin Town Hall For The Community Ltd
Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30 June 2026
Our staffing levels remain the same, with a slight agreed decrease in employment hours. We continue to be hugely dependent upon our volunteer base, and although still healthy, we have seen a significant decrease in the number of volunteer hours. This is most likely due to the nature of volunteering which has moved from customer facing to administrative duties.
That said, we were fortunate to welcome a considerable number of new Directors, all of whom answered an appeal for skills sets necessary for us to move forward into the new venue and the challenges that this will bring. Interviews were held, and we were able to select applicants whom we felt would bring additional strength to the Board.
Financial stability remains a huge focus of the Board, and we continue to receive monthly updates from our Financial Controller. We remain incredibly grateful to Highlands & Islands Enterprise colleagues who continue to support our organisation with knowledge and financial expertise, and who have provided us with grant funding this financial year to support staffing costs. This is much welcome. We also are grateful for the support of the Cultural Quarter Project Manager, Project Officer, and Estates staff within Moray Council for their support. We continue to meet regularly with the Architects and the Contractors who are undertaking the renovations of the building. We are incredibly grateful that our needs are being considered and that the Charity is at the centre of the discussions.
6. Accountability as a Charity
The Board remains accountable to our staff, user groups and patrons. Our Annual General Meetings are open to the public, and we welcome attendance at these.
We have many volunteers, without whom, we would not be able to function. The volunteers are led by a Board member who maintains regular contact. The Board is hugely grateful to all volunteers and bar staff who enable us to continue to deliver events for the Moray community.
We also have an exceptionally large number of followers on social media who show a huge and continuing interest in what we are doing and who provide very welcome support and encouragement to us.
7. Responsibility for Preparing the Trustees' Annual Report
It is recognised that the charity trustees are ultimately responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report
It is our trustees, therefore, who are best placed to put forward what we consider to be our achievements.
This Report was drafted by the Chair of the Charity Board in the first instance and then discussed with and agreed by all the charity trustees at a meeting of the trustees on 12 August 2026.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The level of unrestricted funds held at the year end was £144,553 of which £34,528 is represented by fixed assets and £98,865 by liquid funds.
It is the aim of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three- and six-month's expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, that they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
As mentioned above, the charity is heavily dependent on volunteers who have devoted a great deal of time to Elgin Town Hall for the Community, both in the initial stages and in respect of the continuing running of the charity.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Elgin Town Hall For The Community Ltd
I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2026 set out on pages seven to fifteen.
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 the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) 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 the independent examiner's report
My examination was 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 seeking explanations from you as 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 examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :
-
(1) 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 to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
