TORRY DEVELOPMENT TRUST LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: SC480641)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 30 June 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 30 June 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
Objectives and aims
The charity exists for the advancement of community development, including the advancement of urban regeneration, the advancement of environmental protection or improvement and the advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science.

Significant activities
Firstly, regarding the Victoria Road School Community Regeneration Project, our development partner, Grampian Housing Association (GHA) started the process of tendering the project in line with the Scottish Government guidance on the national procurement portals. Whilst the footprint of the proposed community facilities is small, at some ten percent of the project, nevertheless, our funding contribution from the Regeneration Grant Communities Funds (RGCF) award of £1.4million matches the full-cost recovery footprint within the project. Four tenders were returned by the summer of 2023 and all are subject to the process of Value Engineering to review proposals and cost solutions as a final stage of tender evaluations prior to negotiation by GHA with the Scottish Government for housing association grant. This process is ongoing.

Secondly, the Trustees of the Torry Development Trust gave consideration as to the impact of dereliction and neglect of a range of properties and sites comprising both open space and buildings that had been placed on the register of disposal by the Council and resolved to begin exploratory discussions linked to initial expression of interest with the Aberdeen City Council on a community asset transfer (CAT) on the unused Torry Outdoor Sports Centre. We are currently creating an application to fund a feasibility study linked to phase one of the Scottish Land Fund programme for a CAT to establish both support and sustainability for the creation of an Outdoor Activities Centre, being a mix of retaining some sporting facilities and repurposing other parts to create new activities that align with expressed local needs.

We continue to work through challenging times and the long process of developing and sharing new ideas of local projects to match local needs.

Public benefit
The charity is a public benefit charity and aims to provide benefit to the local community via the activities detailed under the objectives and aims section.

The activities benefit the community as a whole providing a feeling of civic pride and identity.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The charity intends to continue with its current activities around community development and the promotion of the history and heritage of Torry linked to the restoration and regeneration of the former Victoria Road School.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity started the year with a combined funds of £24,987 (2023 - £26,561) and after incoming resources were added and resources expended the charity had closing reserves of £21,679 of which £13,395 were restricted (2023 - £24,987 of which £17,465 were restricted).

Principal funding sources
The Charity has received donations totalling £892, heritage book sales of £559.

Reserves policy
The trustees try to ensure that there is always a minimum of £500 reserves.

Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
TORRY DEVELOPMENT TRUST LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: SC480641)

I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 June 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.
