ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial Period
This year has been a successful year for community and charity events. We have had 42* charitable events which included: Age Concern Christmas lunch, Gala Day Fundraisers, Prize bingos, Race Night fundraisers, music concert for Age Concern, community open days, rehearsals for gala day and for drama school, outdoor plant sale, fire safety training and a community tea dance. We have provided the facilities for staff training courses to be delivered to the care sector, football awards evening, 8 sporting seminars.
Our Community Asset Transfer (CAT) from Falkirk Council was well underway with a business plan submitted in July 2025. Throughout the year we have attended 10 meetings with CVS (they have been commissioned by Falkirk Council to support communities with the asset transfer). We signed a monthly contract with Falkirk Council under the Full Repair and Insurance (this means we are responsible for all repairs, maintenance and energy bills while the community asset transfer (CAT) is being legally finalised
Our playgroup has continued to grow in popularity. It’s a great success as it has a cross section of the community engaging and sharing good practices and experiences. This has led to the provision of a baby clothing and food bank, breastfeeding/health care talks, pre-loved clothing/tabletop sales, all which has had a very positive impact in the community.
The dance group has been so successful that their classes are at capacity and they are looking at hiring for one-to-one coaching. They also hosted a successful dance show.
Income generated from hiring out the community hall for birthday parties as well as various social and leisure activities has significantly contributed to the growth of our assets. This steady stream of revenue has placed us in a strong financial position, ensuring the sustainability of our operations moving forward. As a result, we are increasingly able to operate independently, without relying on financial assistance from the council to cover repairs and energy costs.

In March we started a new mini football class for the under 5 year old, fitness events to encourage the community to be involved in fitness and nutrition advice. In October we started weekly sessions for community fitness, music and dance class for additional support needs. We have had lots of new activities and events in the main hall but we also made great use of our community room. We have health care courses, music lessons, chair yoga, amateur dramatics rehearsals, sports massage and baby sensory.
We received £1,620 from Falkirk Council to carry out an energy survey of the building in view to applying for funding for our sustainable future. We received £3,000 from Falkirk Council to carry out an energy condition survey of the building to help us address issues to tie into our business plan for 2025/26 and beyond.
*By not charging for hall hire to use the centre for 65 hours this year, we worked out that our charitable donations in kind amounted to approximately £2,295.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF CARRON & CARRONSHORE COMMUNITY HALL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE, SCIO CHARITY NO SC049767.
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the period 1 January to 31 December 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 10.
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 (“the 2005 Act”) and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) (“the 2006 Regulations”). The Charity’s Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section (44)(1) (c) of the 2005 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 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 Regulations, and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Regulations have 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.
