APPENDIX 1
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of
Ihe charity during the financial period
Spike Aware UK has continued its campaign to raise awareness about the
dangers associated with all fomis of spiking.
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.

**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|

||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.|
