Structure, Governance and Management
Constitution
The Charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO). It was registered in its current legal form on 19[th] May 2020. It has a two tier structure and as such it is the membership of the organisation that appoint trustees and have decision making powers.
Appointment of trustees
The management committee are the charity’s trustees. Membership of the management committee is open to all residents of Edzell Woods and the surrounding area.
Trustees are elected at the annual general meeting which is held in January. There must be a minimum of three and a maximum of five trustees.
Objectives and Activities
Charitable Purposes
The advancement of citizenship or community development, the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended and the advancement of environmental protection or improvement.
Activities
The charity will organise a variety of social and community events throughout the year which will be held in Edzell Woods. These events will bring the community together and reduce isolation and loneliness in a rural environment.
Achievements and Performance
The charity secured £4000 from Aberdeenshire Council Community Resilience Fund. This allowed the purchase of resilience equipment for residents during power outages due to severe weather.
The Jubilee in the Park event which celebrated the Queen’s Jubilee was EWSIG’s most successful event to date in terms of attendance.
The first EWSIG and EWCT partnership Community Fun Day event was extremely successful. However, the Bike Track wasn’t as busy as expected and the novelty soon wore off with the track not having anyone on it for the last few hours of the day.
A second attempt with a community lottery was trialled with a monthly club 30 rather than a weekly draw which we had previously. Unfortunately, there still wasn’t enough participants for the club 30 to continue after a few months.
Financial Review
Our main source of funding is fundraising.
Our fundraising efforts this year raised £451 and we spent £3025, leaving us with £1341 to take into the 2023 2024 period.
We received £4000 for resilience equipment.
The biggest expense was £1683 for the community fun day.
Reserves Policy
The trustees’ policy is to retain approximately £300 in order to meet annual running costs.
Plans for the future period
There is a bit of uncertainty to the future of the group, we are extremely short on volunteers and the organising of events along with the administration of the group is becoming a burden to the three trustees. Now that we are into the fourth year of the group, it is becoming difficult to think of events that can happen outdoors which haven’t already been done. The group really needs new volunteers to continue successfully.

Nature and purpose of funds
We received two grants totalling £4000 from Aberdeenshire Council Resilience Fund to purchase items for our community that will help keep us warm during power outages due to weather. The grants also allowed us to purchase items that will allow us to have a resilience plan for the community to follow.
