ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
PCDT was initially formed as a limited company and was awarded was awarded charity status in September 2021. The Company ceased on 20/03/22 and all of the assets were transferred into the Charity on that date. PCDT in pursuant of its objects aims to support a range of community groups and we have been active over the year with several projects.
ROCKIN the PORT
Rockin the Port achieved considerable success once more during the summer of 2024. Providing a platform for diverse musical acts spanning different decades, the event catered to a broad audience, ensuring there was something for everyone. RTP has succeeded in bringing people together to share their love for music and foster friendships. Moreover, it has actively promoted emerging young musicians each week as warm-up acts. The influence of RTP extends beyond the local community, making it a staple in the social calendar.
Gaitherin Place
The 'Gaitherin' place or shop has transformed into a vibrant hub, serving as a central point for community and tourist information. It is also a venue for purchasing goods, with all proceeds supporting the PCDT. Dedicated local volunteers have worked diligently to make the shop the go-to point of contact for village visitors. Furthermore, the shop has become a venue for hosting small PCDT community meetings, emerging as an asset to the local community.
Portpatrick Coastal Rowing Club - Skiff Build
Following completion of the skiff build in May 2023, Portpatrick Coastal Rowing Club has succesfully established itself as an independent group from Portpatrick Community Development Trust.
Village Hall
Following extension of the short-term management lease of the hall by Dumfries and Galloway Council to the Trust in January 2023, the hall has continued to be a focus point for the Trust's activities. The Trust's aim to develop a comprehensive business case to achieve a Community Asset Transfer of the hall in the future continues and efforts are now underway for a community consultation to ensure the asset meets the needs of the community. Discussions are continuing with the Council in the meantime and in the short term the lease will be extended for a further two years.
The hall has continued to be used for small functions and fayres and in 2024 and is now also being used by local fitness and wellbeing groups whose events are well attended by the wider community. The hall also hosted a number of events catering to the children within the community including a Halloween party and Lunch With Santa. Although the hall requires significant renovations due to its aged and deteriorated condition it remains a vital local asset and the Trust continues endeavours to create a financially sustainable future for the hall so that it can continue to be used by members of the Community.
Lottery Community Anchor - Food Project
The Food Project supported by funding from the Big Lottery continued throughout 2024 and has developed into a regular social gathering for members of the village each week. The gatherings continue to serve as a platform for members to acquire new cooking skills, establish and develop friendships and share a communal meal.
Numerous members have expressed that their participation in the food project has influenced them positively, leading to various outcomes such as reduced stress, promotion of community health, and a heightened sense of inclusivity.
Overall, the project has served as a multifaceted initiative that not only addresses practical needs like access to food but also enriches the community socially, culturally and economically.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PORTPATRICK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TRUST
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 October 2024 set out on pages six to fourteen.
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's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) 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 the independent examiner's report
My examination was 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 seeking explanations from you as 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 connection with 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 to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 OCTOBER 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The presentational and functional currency of the financial statements is Pounds Sterling (£).
Going Concern
After reviewing the charity's forecasts and projections, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Charity's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.
There are no significant judgements or estimates used in the preparation of these accounts.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donations
Donations are recognised on receipt. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until those conditions are fully met.
Grants
Grants are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. Grants are deferred if terms or conditions must be met before the charity has entitlement to the resources.
Fundraising
Funds raised from fundraising events are recognised in the period in which the event was held.
Sale of Goods
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Financial instruments
The company has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, including bank overdrafts that are payable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.
Creditors
Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price.
Provisions
Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.
