Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of | This year has been productive and rewarding for the Shed, with strong the charity during the financial period progress in activities, membership, and premises development. We began the year with our AGM and community engagement events, including talks to and from local groups. Highlights included a successful MOT4Men event, our Birthday BBQ, safety talks from Police Scotland and Trading Standards, and cooking confidence sessions supported by Wholehearted Fraserburgh. Seasonal events such as our coffee morning, Christmas dinner, and raffle were very well attended, thanks to generous support from members and local businesses. The New Year brought further variety, including Chinese New Year celebrations, Brew Monday at NESCOL with a focus on suicide prevention, and the return of Singing Shedders. We also refreshed our membership process, confirming 64 regular members, and continued outreach through community events and visits from local representatives including local dignitaries, Councillors and MP's Premises development was a major focus. Building warrants were approved, work began on the new workshop, ceiling alterations started, and generous donations of insulation and plasterboard helped progress the fit-out. The driveway was also successfully resurfaced through members’ efforts and donations of materials. Throughout the year we enjoyed a wide range of activities, including fused glass workshops, attending local art exhibition, community events, and family-friendly gatherings. The Shed continues to thrive due to the dedication of members, volunteers, funders, and partners, and we look forward to the year ahead with confidence. Brief statement of the charity’s policy | We keep enough money on account to cover running costs for 12 months on reserves (around £5k). ~ ee ne Details of any deficit None Donated facilities and services (if any) | Gas costs are covered by a member donation directly to the supplier. |

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 | 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:
e to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
e to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
nave not been met, or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
