KOSAG Annual Report 2025

This is the second Kinross Open Spaces Action Group Annual Report.

We believe in the transformative power of community action. Our journey began with a mission to protect and preserve Davies Park, a cherished green space in Kinross. Over the years, our commitment to our community and our open spaces has grown stronger, leading us to broaden our horizons.

We are driven by the shared vision of enhancing and revitalising Kinross's open areas, ensuring they remain vibrant, accessible, and cherished by future generations. Our dedication extends to projects like Lochburn Park, a small, neglected green space waiting to be transformed from simple grass into something more attractive and biodiverse.

We will achieve this by acquiring, leasing, or entering into other agreements to control open spaces in our area.

In the past year, we have continued negotiating with Perth and Kinross Council over the future of Davies Park in Kinross. We have been frustrated at the low priority our small lease agreement has received but have had assurances that in early 2026 this will be completed.

The charity has not sought funding for its projects in this period as there is no definitive cost identified. Incidental costs have been met by individual board members.

In addition to responding to the next round of the Local Development Plan, our objectives for this coming year are to secure the lease associated with Davies Park and move on to carry out a community consultation on the future of Lochburn Park, and ultimately implement the conclusions.

Whilst waiting for the lease to be finalised, we have worked with the Council on various parts of the Council's improvements to Davies Park, including assisting with the content for an information board about the history of the park location. Members have also been con�rib��ing �o Kinross�s Comm�ni�� Ac�ion Plan�

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance
responsibilities Of with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the
trustees and examiner Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). 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 My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts
examiner's statement 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, | do
not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s —_—
statement [nthe 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 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.
