The charity's workload is increasing each year, and our role is growing significantly in political matters. We are actively involved in proposed amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill, which will soon be considered by the UK Parliament. Our ongoing engagement with both the Scottish and UK Parliaments necessitates increased travel, particularly to Westminster, resulting in higher associated costs. Media engagement has also expanded due to our participation in efforts to change the law. We are receiving more requests for appearances across various media channels. including television, radio, print. and social media. Our frontline outreach remains a priority, especially among students at universities, schools, and colleges. The number of presentations at schools has risen considerably. We continue to collaborate closely with Community Officers from Police Scotland and regularly participate in public engagement initiatives alongside officers, interacting with both community members and licensees. Desprte these advancements, funding remains a signrficant challenge. With growing demands from various sources, including parfiamentary inquiries, it is essential that we secure additional financial support beyond current levels.

| 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 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 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, I 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~~[other than that~~ ~~disclosed on the attached page*]~~ 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 comply with Regulation 9 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. |
