| Achievements and performance | Achievements and performance | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of | • | In 2023, for the first time, we were able to transport young players to | |
| the charity during the financial period | Newton Stewart for a rehearsal. Normally this is not possible due to | ||
| expense. Usually rehearsals take place in Dumfries and players from the | |||
| west have to travel. This time it was the other way round! | |||
| • | In order for the DGYO players to experience the thrill of a live | ||
| professional orchestra we had for some time been searching for a suitable | |||
| concert to attend. A perfect opportunity emerged when the RSNO | |||
| programmed an evening of music from the Harry Potter films. The trip | |||
| (in June 2023) was organised and the whole evening was a big success. | |||
| Following a meal at a local pizzeria the youngsters made their way to the | |||
| Glasgow Royal Concert Hall where, before the concert, they met the | |||
| Conductor, the Presenter and several of the players. The youngsters also | |||
| enjoyed the Presenter’s mention of DGYO during the show. All in all it | |||
| was an excellent night, enjoyed by all and appreciated by parents. | |||
| • | Liaison with the Local Authority hasn’t always been easy but it is hoped | ||
| that recent increased communication will pave the way for a more co- | |||
| operative planning approach. Such an approach will be beneficial to | |||
| DGYO both short term in finding suitable rehearsal dates that do not | |||
| clash with other events, but also in the longer term with new players | |||
| across the Region feeding into DGYO. |
Financial review
| Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any deficit Donated facilities and services (if any) |
We aim to retain a reserve equivalent to 25% more than would have been needed for a series of four rehearsals. We aim to hold a reserve of a minimum of £1000. |
|---|---|
| We have no deficit. | |
| We are very grateful to Dumfries & Galloway Council Education Department which, so far, is donating rehearsal and performance space to the orchestra for no cost. We are also very grateful to the Holywood Trust (https://www.holywood- trust.org.uk/) and the John Younger Trust (no website) for their generous financial support. |

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the DGYO (SCIO) - SC048972
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September, 2023.
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 trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 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 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 view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s 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 accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and
-
Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
-
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.
