Report of the Trustees |
For The Year Ended 31st March 2024 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
We have had a good year culminating in the success of our yearly show Take 27. The donations given to us, both corporate and from individuals have been greatly received. Hopefully this is the beginning of people and companies coming back to support our Theatre Group after a few difficult years for everyone. |
Our cast were invited along to perform at several venues throughout the year where they had the opportunity to display their talents to a wider audience. We also received donations from these performances very much appreciated by all at the theatre group. |
FUTURE PLANS |
The group will start back in August 2024 and will be straight into rehearsals for our show in March 2025. |
The new Musical Director Brian McNeill will take over fully from Stuart Park, as he has now left the group. He was able to shadow Stuart from January to the end of show week. |
We are advertising for a new production member as Alison Adam has now left the group. |
The website has been updated and hopefully more social media platforms can be set up to raise awareness of the Ups and Downs Theatre Group. |
We are exploring the possibility of sourcing a company to take us on as their charity of the year or some sort of sponsorship/partnership with them. |
We will continue to source grant funding where appropriate and seek opportunities to raise awareness of the group and advertise the show. |

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of |
Ups And Downs Theatre Group |
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2024 set out on pages four to ten. |
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner |
The charity's trustees are 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 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) 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 the independent examiner's report |
My examination was 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 seeking explanations from you as 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. |
Independent examiner's statement |
In connection with 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 to comply with Regulation 8 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. |
