Annual Report & Financial Statements for the period ending 31 March 2025 Scotbsh Charity No SC052588 Financial Review statement of Reserves Pollcy: The Trustees consider it desirable that annual expenditure is met out of annual income. It is the objective of the Trustees to achieve as nearly as possible a small surplus each year, however, a previous Board of Trustees felt that they should not build up reserves unless there was a specific known need in the future. The new Board of Trustees have over-turned this policy since it is obviousty drficult to know what the future will bring. The new Board believes that it is sensible to revert to previous practice and maintain a comfortable reserve for emergencies thus an attempt to do this will be made ovei the next 5 years. Detalls of any deficlt: There was no financial deficit this year. Details of Donated Facilities & Services: The Charity benefts from the time given by all the Trustees to the running of the Charity, and from members of the Management Committee who manage the Hall on a daily basis.
