WILLIAMSON HALL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (SC003200) INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
| report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31% October 2025, which are set out on pages 1 and 2.
Respective responsibilities of committee and examiner
The committee is 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. The committee considers 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 examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 committee 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
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:
-
e to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 accounts Regulations, and
-
e 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.

Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of | Maintenance & Improvements:
the charity during the financial period e Replacement and decoration of wooden shutters on the exterior of
the old entrance.
e Secondary double glazing of the IT room / store room window.
e Commencement of resurfacing of the hall access track,
formalisation of the parking area and installation of an accessible
car parking space (completed in Dec’25 / next financial year)
Fundraising, Grants & Donations:
e Fundraising Activities (Hill Race, Race Night and 100 Club) made
£794 profit after costs. NB: Hill Race is a traditional village event
rather than a true fundraiser and can often be run at a loss,
dependant on bi-annual / periodic costs.
e Grant Funding of £12,500.00 broken down as follows:
o £12,000.00 from National Lottery Awards for All Scotland
towards the resurfacing of the hall access track and
parking improvements.
o £500.00 from Perth & Kinross Council grant funding to
support local village halls.
e Donations of £723.63 broken down as follows:
o £200 from J. Sainsbury’s via Employee Local Hero
Scheme (re community volunteering by our Treasurer)
o £20 from Charities Aid Foundation re prior J Sainsbury’s
donations.
o £503.63 from donations towards Race Night by local
businesses, and individuals in lieu of attendance
Brief statement of the charity’s policy | Balance of £11,147 held. Our usual reserve is min £10,000 to ensure we can meet
on reserves any unexpected expenditure and undertake any emergency maintenance to the
hall.
We are currently looking to obtain additional grant funding to cover the legal costs
of constituting as an SCIO and the fees to correctly register the SCIO ownership of
the hall and lands with Registrars of Scotland (the latter has never been
undertaken by the original Trust). If grant funding not obtained this is likely to
deplete our reserve by some £3-4,000. Further fundraising activity will be required
to repair reserves and may impact our ability to undertake improvement activity
until concluded.
Details of any deficit None
