Burghead Amenities Association (Registered number: SC222370)

Report of the Trustees
For The Year Ended 31 August 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 31 August 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charity objects are to promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of the inhabitants of Burghead and its environs without the distinction of political, religious or other opinions or of race. To bring together in association the inhabitants, voluntary organisations and local authorities in a common effort to advance education and further the health of said inhabitants. To provide a meeting place and other facilities for the purpose of social welfare, recreation and education so that the conditions of life of said inhabitants may be improved.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Burghead Amenities Association (BAA) was set up to improve amenities for the whole community of Burghead. Currently BAA's focus is on providing and developing Burghead Station Yard Community Garden and also supporting people in need through the Covid situation and now the emerging Cost of Living crisis.

Our overall vision for Burghead Station Yard Community Garden is:
-To make a wild life friendly garden for everyone to enjoy
-Areas for families to use and for children to play in
-Spaces where everyone who wants to can grow food.

OUR ACTIVITIES

Fundraising:

We have received many generous local donations and also external grants, to develop the Community Garden. Our Lucky Squares draw is now in it's forth year.

Lucky Squares:

Year 3 of the Lucky Squares ran from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024.
We received £4,508 in ticket sales. 43% ( £1,920) was spent on prizes. There were no expenses, The balance, £2,588 (57%) was allocated to garden funds.

Grants:

We received the following grants to assist with the operation of the Blessing Boxes:
-Bank of Scotland Foundation - £1,500 received on 20th December 2023.
-Arnold Clark Foundation - £2,000 received on 20th December 2023.

The Community Garden :

The vegetable plots are very well used. The benefits of the plots are in improving mental health, as well as food growing. Community plots have been dug and cultivated, and spare produce donated. This year, produce has again been made available to the community, via an honesty box system for donations.

This year we also held a Family Fun Day on 1st July 2023. This was to have been held in the garden, but due to inclement weather had to be moved into the Community Hall, where a five a side football tournament took place and was enjoyed by all that took part.

The Blessing Boxes have continued to be well supported, both financially and by donations in kind, by the local community and continue to be well used. We aim to keep the Boxes stocked for as long as they are required, to assist people in coping with the higher power and food cost which are currently being incurred. We are registered with Moray Food Bank to operate as a "larder" organisation for them, and can also refer people to the Food Bank for food deliveries.


Burghead Amenities Association (Registered number: SC222370)

Report of the Trustees
For The Year Ended 31 August 2024

FINANCIAL REVIEW
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level sufficient to cover management, administration and support costs for the period of one year and to build these funds up to enable the charity to carry out capital projects.

The level of funds held at the year end was £119,816 of which designated funds were £32,866 and unrestricted funds of £85,403. £97,335 of the total funds represent fixed assets and £22,481 represent net current assets.

The level of restricted funds held at the year end was £1,547 (2023 - £Nil)

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month's expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate these.

FUTURE PLANS
Members of our community still require support from the Blessing Boxes. We plan to continue working with our partner organisations to support a local response as long as the required. We will continue to work on identifying funding to keep the Blessing Boxes going into the next year.

With regards to the Garden, we are about to install an outdoor gym, to assist with the physical and mental health of our community. A grant of £3,136 has been received from Moray Council to meet part of the costs of this item. We have paid a deposit for the outdoor gym and it will be installed in September 2024.

Ms J Benson - Trustee

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Burghead Amenities Association

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024 set out on pages five to thirteen.

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.
