Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any deficit Donated facilities and services (if any)	The trustees view that it is prudent to hold reserves for 3 months’ worth of continued operations. As at the year end, the charity’s unrestricted reserves were £48,074. The charity’s ongoing expenditure on charitable activities, support and governance averaged £9,590 per month, meaning that sufficient reserves are held by the charity in line with its policy on reserves.
	The charity generated £119,365 in receipts and £115,089 paid out on charitable activities, support costs and governance, which is a gross surplus of £4,276. The charity also purchased a new van costing £14,978, which results in a net deficit for the year of £10,702 (2024: £47,997 surplus). All funds are unrestricted, and the net unrestricted fund is duly carried forward to next year to use as the trustees see fit.

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) 2005 Act 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 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 viewgiven bythe accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement	In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
	1. 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, 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. Signed: Date: 30 December 2025 Name: (if any): Address:** ~~om~~
