Page 4 of 19 **Fallin Community Voice Report and Accounts for the Year Ended 31 January 2025** ## **Trustees' Annual Report** ## **Achievements and Performance** As we reflect on another transformative year for Fallin Community Voice, I am delighted to share our progress and achievements. Our mission remains steadfast—to empower and uplift our community through meaningful projects that foster collaboration, sustainability, and resilience. In just three years, we have achieved remarkable growth and this past year is no exception. We extend our deepest gratitude to our funders, volunteers, community partners, and supporters who have contributed to our success. Your dedication and belief in our mission drive everything we do. Together, we are building a stronger, fairer, greener, more connected Fallin. In last year's annual report, we committed to prioritising the following 12 goals in 2024: 1. Further expansion of our Christmas lights _**(achieved)**_ 2. Exploration of a community fridge project _**(achieved)**_ 3. Establishing our fun day as an annual event _**(achieved)**_ 4. Securing membership of DTAS _**(achieved)**_ 5. Delivering additional GrubHub events _**(achieved)**_ 6. Running a summer day trip to the beach for residents _**(achieved)**_ 7. Increasing our membership numbers _**(achieved)**_ 8. Increasing volunteer numbers _**(achieved)**_ 9. Improving resilience of the board by recruiting additional trustees _**(achieved)**_ 10. Improving collaboration with other partners and neighbouring villages _**(achieved)**_ 11. Launching a community garden _**(infrastructure installation phase)**_ - 12.Securing installation of a safe cycle track for kids _**(in progress)**_ Page 5 of 19 **Fallin Community Voice Report and Accounts for the Year Ended 31 January 2025** ## **Trustees' Annual Report** ## **Achievements and Performance** We comfortably achieved 10 out of 12 of our 2024 goals. Excellent progress is being made on the eleventh one (community garden), which escalated in scale at the development phase thanks to significant funding success. Goal 12 continues to be dependent on council timescales. Our achievements this year can be categorised around the following core themes: 1. Food, warmth and social contact 2. Education and outreach 3. Village-wide infrastructure improvements 4. Fundraising 5. Partnerships, memberships and volunteer development 6. Awards and recognition ## **Food, warmth and social contact** Providing food, warmth and social contact in a way that’s welcoming, dignified and enjoyable is always forefront in our thinking. And this year, we worked with others to deliver these key human needs in more ways than before. Our annual free family fun day was bigger and better than previous years, with more people attending and more things to do, thanks to the efforts of at least 15 volunteers. Over 500 people turned out to enjoy inflatables, face painting, local market, hot food, candy floss and more. This was provided in partnership with Polmaise Community Council, and the Alpha Centre Committee who provided free venue hire. We ran our weekly Grub Hubs again, providing free hot meals and a warm, welcoming space to between 60-100 people of all ages every week. Our 2023-24 ones ran until 27th February and our 2024 - 25 ran from 3rd October. This was run in partnership with Polmaise Community Council, and the Alpha Centre Committee who provided free venue hire. We successfully trialled a free toiletry and pet food distribution pilot at the Grub Hub, giving away dozens of essential toiletry and pet products, sourced from In Kind Direct and individual donations. Page 6 of 19 **Fallin Community Voice Report and Accounts for the Year Ended 31 January 2025** ## **Trustees' Annual Report** ## **Achievements and Performance** We organised a summer day trip to Burntisland, covering the cost of 57 children accompanied by a further 39 adults. Collaboration with Strathcarron Hospice improved in 2024, and we gave a small pot of funding to their weekly Snowdrop Cafe at the church hall, for drinks and snacks in the start-up phase. Our Christmas fair and tree lights switch on was bigger than previous years, with more stalls and entertainment provided by local children from Fallin Big Noise. It was so well attended we are exploring ways to expand space for future years. This year, we offered people the option to buy memory baubles for the tree, which around 100 people bought. This was run in partnership with Polmaise Community Council, and Fallin Parish Church who provided free venue hire. To stimulate interest in gardening, we ran a community tomato grow along, providing 30 residents with everything they need to sow and grow their own compact tomato Page 7 of 19 **Fallin Community Voice Report and Accounts for the Year Ended 31 January 2025** ## **Trustees' Annual Report** ## **Achievements and Performance** We facilitated the start up of a weekly walking group, which now runs regularly every Thursday morning, led by local residents. We put on a ska concert at the Miners Welfare, performed by Scottish band The Owls, Fallin Community Voice paid for the band hire to make the concert affordable to everyone in the community. This was run in partnership with Fallin Miners Club who provided free venue hire. In December we established a surplus food redistribution project, collecting excess food four days per week from Marks & Spencer and Lidl. This has been run in partnership with the Gothenburg Pub, who have provided free venue hire. ## **Education and outreach** -We participated in the Big Breakfast event hosted by Fallin Primary School, as well as their Fab Friday sessions, to engage children in outdoor activities. -We facilitated a series of local parents' evenings for parents of students at Wallace High School, in partnership with Fallin Miners Welfare, who provided free venue hire. These were established due to low parent turnout at school-based parents evenings and saw much higher parent turnout, primarily due to removal of travel barriers. -We shared our journey with local and national partners, presenting at networking events held by Stirling Voluntary Enterprise, Climate Forth and others, as well as participating in community development podcast and featuring in various news outlets. -We extended our social media presence, increasing Instagram and Facebook follower numbers and establishing a TikTok account. ## **Village-wide development** Our Christmas lights programme more than doubled thanks to the generous sponsorship of local residents and businesses. The village lights on the main street grew from 20 to 40 graphic lights plus a further 40 lamppost braids.

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 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 the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the 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 - prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 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.
