APPENDIX 1
Other optional information
It has been an exciting and busy Ye￿ for ICP. The continued support from the whole of our I￿al community has been
overwhelming.
As mentioned e￿ller in the report, our proudest achievement was winning the Couullunity Champion category in the
Pride of Inverurie Awards.
the sponsor of the category of the award we won. was so ttLoved by what we
do as a charity that she has championed our cause ever since. Both their company bases in Kintore and Inverurie have
acted as hubs where people can leave donations for ICP. She has activety calllpaigned for us and shared many of our
pleas. We are deeply indebted t() individuals and businesses for their loyal support
We continue to benefit from our collaborative partnerships with several local charities -eg.. We Are Inverurie BID.
Garioch Cornmunity Kitchen: Homestart. Rotary Club of Inverurie. We have also started donating surplus food to
Kennethmont Focd Bank.
We have become involved in work with children's and young person's groups and schools. In March 2 troops from the
Inverurie Beaver Scouts achieved their "Community Spirit" badges by collecting items for us subsequently with each
respective troop coming to volunteer with us for a session. In February 2025 Inverurie Academy's Clwities Committee
held a "Love Their Community Chajlenge" and collected overwheltning aluount of food donations ajongside ajmost
£100 in cash.
We increased our visibility by attending external events to help promote our serrices. In May we attended the Inverurie
Wellbeing Open Day and we also attended "Groupfest" in November. Both events have opened doors for future
collaborations and new contacts were made througb networking.
In August, thanks to our working with Pets At Home and Blue Cross UK, we were able to host 2 pet food drives. There
was a substantial donation of a pallet of dried dog food to the value of over £2,000 which we were able to distribute, and
198 grab bags purchased by patrons in store were donated to ourselves. Both these donations allowed us to host
additional days where we distributed these donations to our members.
Throughout 2024 we hosted craft events and fundraisers. Craft classes such as crochet classes. rag wreath workshops
and decoupage were ran alongside biweekly craft sessions and a once a month "Bring your own craft" event. There
were sessions for children including Easter classes, silltlltler events and classes were held to celebrate both Halloween
and Christmas. Fundr￿SerS included a Craft Declutter in August and a Christmas Craft sale in December.
Christroas 2024 saw us able to provide Cbristmas items for our pantry members including small gift and selection
packs for the children. Much of what we were able to give the community at Cknistmas came from donations from
businesses, groups, churches, schools and individuals. For example. Strachans of Inverurie held a CFllistmas Toy
Appeal. Customers to Strachans could purchase subsidised vouchers which were then passed on to ICP. A staggering
£500150 x £10) vouchers was donated! One loc8J firni, l & K Motors, bought vouchers to the value of £250. Another
example was a restaurant in Turiff, The Rustic Grill, who had a Giving Tree where patrons to the restaurant could take
a tag detailing iterlls for our pantry ultirllately resulting in a staggering amount of donations which were delivered to the
pantry in time for Christmas. There were Ma￿Y, si￿]1￿ stories of donations to our cause that festive period.
Notable sizable donations were received fro￿ Ravne North School, Logie Durno School, Uryside Primary 5 pupils,
Inverurie Academy stsff. "Fitness Classes With￿.. FKK chi￿ch and IACS Consulting.
We have spent time strengthening the skills of the EK)ard taking part in board training online. This has given us more
confidence in our processes, projects and aeeounts. Our board attended the SCVO Gathering in Edinburgh in Febrnary
2025. which was very usefill and a fun. rewarding experien(*.
Febrnary saw continued community kindness towards ICP when
of Garioch Electrical Services donated
and installed an outside Motion detected security light thus ensunng much safer access to our building in the dark,
especially helping those doing nighttime picknps at the weekend. We also had our door lock repaired by the Men's
Shed.
We look to the future WAth optimism and will continue to not only strengthen our existing services but look to further
ways we can support the community and help us in our mission of "Bringing the Couununity Togetherf.

**Inverurie Community Partnership SCIO Registered Charity Number:  SC052759** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2025 which are set out on pages 6-9. 

**Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 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. 


My examination is 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 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 view given by the accounts. 


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 

   - to 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.
