Sadly in January 2023 there was bereavement in Tracy’s family. As a result there were slight disruptions to classes early in the year.
During the year we did receive invites to competitions held in Inverness and Garioch but declined due to lack of coach availability and training time.
Unfortunately the Rotary Club Cooper park display was cancelled due to wet weather. The Hopeman Gala display in July 2023 was enjoyed by all.
There has been various fundraising activities in the year. The rag bag collections have been successful and have raised £291.
The Christmas Show was held in November 2023 and provided an opportunity for the gymnasts to show off their skill in several routines. There were a number of stall and £442 was raised.
I look forward to another excellent year with Active GC.
Reserves policy
The main source of income for the charity is class fees from the members. The total class fees received in the year does not always cover the costs of running the club and additional fundraising is required. The balance raised from fundraising is not predictable. The level of funds held allows for expenses such as training fees and kit costs where required.
The Club has unrestricted funds of £4,579 at the year end and a restricted fund of £1,000.

Active Gymnastics Club SCIO Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees
Page 3
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 1 April 2024 which are set out on pages 4 to 6.
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 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 report
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 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 connection with 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 proper accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts 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.
