## **Achievements and performance** 

**Summary of the main achievements of** In each financial year, the Festival of Europe (Scotland) is our main activity. In 2025, the Festival took place **the charity during the financial period** from 3 to 11 May.  Coinciding with Europe Day on 9 May, a day to celebrate the values and benefits of peace, democracy and cooperation amongst Europe’s nations, the well attended 2025 Festival grew to include 16 * activities and spread across 4 of Scotland’s regions.  Over 20 * partners joined in. The programme highlighted tangible ways in which Scotland engages with the wider European continent, and in 2025 included activities in Edinburgh, Fife, Glasgow and Stirling. A weekend of key speaker events included a conference with the European Movement in Scotland on the challenges facing liberal democracy in Europe, and how citizens’ movements can help meet these challenges.  The second conference examined the UK�EU reset.  In partnership with the Scottish Council on Global Affairs, experts shared perspectives on how the UK and Europe are perceived globally. EuroWalks in Kirkcaldy, Edinburgh and Glasgow offered opportunities for people to come together to learn about Scotland’s historic European connections.  A one day conference organised by the Citizens’ Rights Project offered a platform for voices from European communities across Scotland. The Connecting Europe Fair was a drop in event at the French Institute in Edinburgh. It promoted opportunities for 18�30 year olds through a range of information stalls such as Interrail EuRail and the Erasmus student exchange programme, and family art workshops. Cultural events in this year’s programme of partner activities included a film screening, community gatherings and an evening of song. Business and education were the focus of a panel session at Panmure House on Europe’s competitiveness. The Trustees are very grateful for all the support of partners and the many volunteers, all of whom contributed to the planning a and delivery of a very successful festival, in its second year. Note 1:  16 events include:  Beetroots Art Workshops (2), 3 speaker events at French Institute, Libereco event, Panmure House event, 4 EuroWalks, Stirling film screening, Christine Bovill concert, Connecting Europe Fair, Pentlands Ukrainian event, Citizens’ Rights Project conference Note 2: 20 partners include: EMiS, SCGA, Libereco, Belarus People’s Consulate, Erasmus Student Network, PUSG, Beetroots, City of Edinburgh Council, Heriot Watt and Panmure House, EU Parliament UK office, Edinburgh Bookshop, Interrail EURail, Creative Stirling, University of Edinburgh, Stirling, Fife and Glasgow EuroWalk partners, various members of Consular Corps and Strathclyde University providing interns.

||The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance<br>with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the<br>Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees<br>consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations<br>does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section<br>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<br>Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the<br>charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes<br>consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks<br>explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken<br>do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do<br>not express an audit opinion on the viewgiven bythe accounts.|||||||||
||In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than that<br>disclosed on the attached page*]<br>1.<br>which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the<br>requirements:<br>•<br>to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and<br>Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and<br>•<br>to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with<br>Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations<br>have not been met, or<br>2.<br>to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper<br>understanding of the accounts to be reached.|||||||||
