Greener Duns Trustee report for OSCR 24-25
In order to promote opportunities to reduce, recycle and reuse, in the past year Greener Duns has successfully organised and run a monthly Repair cafe in our local Community Centre. Repairs have included: Darning, sewing, sewing machines, mobile telephones/IT equipment, PAT testing, wooden items and electricals. On average the Repair Cafe attracts approx 20 customers every month.
To support active travel Greener Duns has refurbished and distributed 8 adult bikes from Just Cycle in Tweedbank in addition to holding Cycle repair and maintenance workshops.
To help raise awareness of climate change issues we have shown 2 films, Six Inches of Soil and Rewilding. We also organised a talk with our local Green Peace representative Andrew Robinson.
Our monthly newsletter is now linked with Duns Community Newsletter and now gains a wider readership. With the help of a skilled IT consultant, we have created a new website.

Independent Examiner’s Report
I report on the accounts of the charity Greener Duns (SC051641) for the year ended 31.3.2025
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The 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. The trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act.
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was 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 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of 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 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, comply with Regulation 8 of
the 2006 Accounts Regulations and with the methods and principles of the Statement of
Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 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.
