## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The organisation's purposes are: To develop projects and resources to enable children and young people and their families who are disadvantaged by reason of ill health or disability in Oban, Lorn and the Isles to live life to the full by:
1) Providing and supporting the provision of facilities for out of school activities for children with additional support needs arising from physical, sensory, learning, neurodiverse and mental disorders according to their ability and desire.
2) Promoting information and support for the whole family and individuals working in disability related issues to increase their understanding of the problems of disability and social exclusion and to encourage inclusion in its widest sense.
3) Fundraising for these activities through grants, local businesses and events.
4) Working with third sector and community organisations, public sector and private businesses to increase opportunities for disabled children and young people to participate in activities and services in their local community.
## **Significant activities**
During the year, FAIR delivered a programme of fun days and similar activities for parents and carers and their disabled children. These events are designed to provide inclusive, safe, and supportive environments where families can spend time together and connect with others in similar circumstances.
## **Volunteers**
Our thanks go to the members of the public who have helped and given up their spare valuable time to help us with events.
Thanks to our board members who give up their valuable time.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
FAIR has continued to deliver its core activities throughout the year. Fundays and events were well attended and feedback from participants has been positive, indicating that the charity is meeting its objectives.
The trustees consider that the charity has performed satisfactorily against its aims during the reporting period.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
FAIR does not currently have a policy on reserves.

## Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The charity raised funds through various fundraising events in the year and received grants from Argyll and Bute Council. At the end of the year the charity had £26,692 in the bank and £55 in cash, which was all unrestricted. The funds in the bank largely represented money still to be spent on the play scheme and wellbeing scheme as at the end of August.
The charity remains in a sound financial position. Income generated through fundraising and donations has been sufficient to support the delivery of activities, including payments to self-employed contractors, during the year.
Reserves are considered adequate to meet current commitments and to support planned activities in the forthcoming period. The trustees continue to monitor income and expenditure to ensure the long-term sustainability of the charity.
## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS**
FAIR intends to continue delivering fundays and events for parents and carers and their disabled children. The trustees will seek to maintain financial stability while exploring opportunities to extend the reach of the charity’s activities where possible.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Fairness Acceptance Inclusion Respect
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025 set out on pages six to ten.
## **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 (as amended). 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 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 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.
