Report of the Trustees |

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Organisational structure |
The charity is managed by the Trustees who are legally responsible and meet no less than three times in the year, they report matters of interest to the Volunteers. |
The trustees (who are also directors of Age Concern Eastwood for the purpose of common law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. |
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: |
* select suitable accounting policies and then apply then consistently; |
* observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; |
* make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
* state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, |
subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
* prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate |
to presume that the charity will continue in operation. |
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking responsible steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
Independent examiner |
The Trustees appointed Stephen A Usher C.A., of KPP Chartered Accountants, to act as Independent Examiner. |
Small company provisions |
The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). |
Our volunteers |
Age Concern Eastwood is run entirely by willing volunteers who give generously of their time, without their dedication to the various tasks they undertake, the older people in the community would be unable to enjoy the hospitality and companionship we seek to provide for them. The trustees acknowledge and thank them for their valuable contribution. |
I appreciate the help, assistance and support given to me by my fellow trustees as we carry out our responsibilities in managing Age Concern Eastwood. |

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of |
Age Concern Eastwood |
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 May 2024 set out on pages five to twelve. |
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. |
