**Trustee recruitment and appointment**||| |||| ||Constitution as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated
Organisation|| |||| ||Residents of the village can be nominated to become Trustees
of the charity at which time they will be interviewed by a
selection of existing Trustees to determine suitability and skills.
If successful at the interview they will then be subject to a vote
of members attending the next AGM.
The Board has the ability to co-opt temporary Trustees if they
have a skillset needed in advance of the next AGM.|| |||| |**Objectives and activities**||| |**Charitable purposes**
**Summary of the main activities**
**in relation to these objects**||| |||| ||Our aim is to provide and maintain St Boswells Village Hall
and to organise activities for the benefit of the inhabitants of St
Boswells and environs in the Scottish Borders, without
distinction of political, religious or other opinions; for
recreation, leisure and educational purposes of all kinds with
the object of improving the conditions of life of the said
inhabitants.|| |||| ||Since 1896 it has been owned and managed by the local community, a
much-loved venue which hosts a wide range of events, including weddings,
parties, musical performances, poetry readings, pilates & keep-fit classes,
badminton matches, and Christmas fairs, together with meetings of the Parish
Community Council, the Womens' Institute, St Boswells Concert Band, the
Village Week planning committee, children and toddler groups, and many local
societies. It is regularly used as a polling station, and by the Blood Transfusion
Service.
Our hall is at the very centre of village life.|| **2** **APPENDIX 1** ## **Achievements and performance** **Summary of the main achievements of** During the 2024-25 financial year the village hall was in popular demand and **the charity during the financial period** in frequent use, with a large range of events being laid on, including band performances, concerts and dances, particularly those run by the two organisations St Boswells Live! and Boogie Nights. Sandy Rosie, organizer of the latter, featured a raffle to raise money for Ukraine at such events. We also hosted youth concerts, wedding celebrations, private parties, literary events organized by Mainstreet Trading Company, politicians’ surgeries, badminton, Pilates, Zumba, baby and toddler music classes, Pickleball, rug sales, coin and medal valuations, craft fairs, first aid courses, garden furniture sales, and puppy training, together with meetings of such organisations as the Borders Writers’ Forum, St Boswells Stitchers, St Boswells Art Club, AmDrams, the Health in Harmony Choir, Aberlour Options Borders, Melrose Youth Football Club, Borders Wheels, the AOC Archaeology Group, ‘Walk it’, St Boswells Model Boat Club, St Boswells SWI, St Boswells OAPs, St Boswells Village Week Committee, various political groups, and our own Parish Community Council. Several events organized by Borders Community Action were held in the hall, including a major ‘Meet the funders’ session on 30 April 2025 and a Scottish Borders Village Halls Event on 29 May 2025. A Halloween quiz night was held on 27 October. Our Christmas celebrations included a St Boswells Primary School Christmas Concert, A Christmas Ceilidh, a Fair run by Dryburgh District Churches (Church of Scotland), a Christmas Craft Fair, a Mistletoe Ball, and a performance by One Acchord Ladies A Capella Choir. Events were contributed to St Boswells Village Week in 2024, including a Community Ceilidh and Car Treasure Hunt on 3 June, a ‘Summer Chill’ on 4 June, and a Quiz Night on 5 June. The hall was used as a polling station for the UK Parliamentary election on 4 July 2024, and as a centre for blood donation on 15 January 2025. We are pleased that the Royal Voluntary Service has continued to use us as a base. **Financial review Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** As a fine building of over 160 years old, it requires constant maintenance and upkeep. We have benefited from funding from several charitable organisations, such as the Central Borders Federation of Village Halls, the Climate Challenge Fund, and the National Lottery Awards for All Scotland. Whilst we have been fortunate to have received grant funding for recent major projects this cannot be guaranteed under the current climate and as such we aim to maintian the hall to minimise major works, whilst at the same time building a reserve to ensure any urgent work is possible when needed. **Details of any deficit** There is a deficit on the Green Energy fund this year having raised funds in previous years and paying for the projects in this year. **Donated facilities and services (if any)** **3** **APPENDIX 1** ## **Other optional information** ## **Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** _**OSCR will accept digital or typed signatures**_ **Full name(s)** Nicola Brydon ## Alastair Minnis Chairperson Secretar y **Position (e.g. Chair)** **Date** 25/03/2026 25/03/2026 **4** Enter SC No. below Enter charity name below **SC** |||||||||||||||||||||||**SC**|| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||||||**Receipts andpayments accounts**||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||Period start date|||||||||Period end date|Period end date|||||| |||**For the period**

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 (as amended). 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**

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts
Regulations. 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 viewgiven bythe accounts.| |**Independent examiner’s**|**Independent examiner’s**
