Structure, governance and management
Type of governing document
The charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (a SClO)- It
was registered in its current legal form on 17 November 2023. The charity
was previously an unincorporated association but changed its legal form to
a SCIO. The assets of the unincorporated association were transferred to
the SCIO on 17 November 2023. It has a two tier structure. The Trustees
generally control the activities of the organisation, while Members have the
right to participate in member's meetings and elect the Board of Trustees.
Membership is open to any individual with an interest in furthering our
cause.
Trustee recruitment and appointment
Trustees are elected at the annual general meeting which is held in a
timely manner after the end of the financial year. There must be a
minimum of three and a maximum of seven trustees.
objective.s and ac.tivities,.,.
Charitable purposes
The advancement of citizenship and community development. and to
restore the heritage the bridges brought to the town of Annan.
Summary of the main activities
in relation to these objects
Our ultimate goal is to build at least one bridge spanning the River Annan
between Brydekirk and Annan's road bridge, to restore the use that the
two lost footbridges had over many years. In doing this we are working
closely with the local authority and the local community.

Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of
the charity during the financial period
We have forged very good relationships with the Engineering department of Dumfries and
Galloway Council. They are helping us to navigate through the complicated and bureaucratic,
policies and procedural process. We are currently awaiting a Council funded FeasFbility study
to be delivered. This comprehensive document will detail the required technical,
environmental, and faGt gathering information required to continue on our bridge replacement
journey. This will also be the catalyst for us to then to go fopNard to secure funding will all
facts and evidence required.
We have been financially stable throughout the period, with no major expenses. The bridges
rebutld will require substantial funds (as detailed in the feasibility study) to carry out planned
replacements. It is inconceivable for the group to fundraise to meet all objectives. Such
funding will have to be secured from sources such as Scottish Parliament, Local
Government, and other fundÉng agencies and grants.
Throughout this reporting period we have built collaberations with Annan History Town, in the
quest to design and build a major Landmark Sculpture for our Royal Burgh of Annan. A sub-
group of our members have hetped with local knowledge, experienGe and hands on help. We
are working to get permissions in place for salvaged parts of the fallen bridges to be
incorporated into the eventual structure of the sculpture. We have also supported and
attended public engagement events in our town, forg5ng relationships and networking with
various other charities and groups in the Annan and Dumfrtesshire communities.

Respective , The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance
responsibilities of
trustees and examiner
with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the
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
j consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks
explanations from the trustees conceming 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 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 and comply with
