Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31 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 31 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). |
We are pleased to provide an overview of the activities undertaken by NCDT in the past fiscal year. As trustees, we share the progress and positive change resulting from our charitable endeavour. |
Due to unexpected staff shortages and the expansion of our operational activities, we regret to inform stakeholders that the submission of accounts has been delayed. NCDT's staff hours were drastically reduced as a result of several staff members family matters. The increased demands on our team have led to this setback. We acknowledge the importance of adhering to deadlines, apologise for any inconvenience caused, and assure you that we understand the importance of the set deadlines, and this has been an extenuating circumstance. |

for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
A big focus throughout the year has been on progressing the 2 capital refurbishment projects - at the former Castle Hotel and the Trotters building. |
Trotters |
Professional design and technical work developed the capital refurbishment plans and also provided estimated costs for the work. This allowed NCDT to make successful funding applications to Scottish Government's Regional Capital Grant Fund, UK Government's Community Ownership Fund and East Ayrshire Council's Renewable Energy Fund to match fund trustees' allocation of Afton Wind Farm and Hare Hill Extension Wind Farm funds to this project. The tender process for the capital works was carried out through Public Contracts Scotland (PCS) portal and therefore followed the PCS procurement process. Taylor and Fraser were appointed as main contractor with a requirement to build in additional benefits to the community, for example employing local sub contractors and staff where possible. Work on Trotters began in May 2024 and is currently scheduled to complete in September 2025. NCDT is grateful to our professional team who have guided us through the process. The team is led by INCH Architecture + Design, a social enterprise business with substantial experience in supporting funded community projects. |
Castle Hotel |
Phase 1 refurbishment works continued on the Castle Hotel throughout the year. Due to unforeseen issues stemming from storm damage to the building, this project substantially over ran its original plan in terms of extent of work required, time and costs. Phase 1 work intended to make the building wind and water tight and improve its appearance to the village centre. However, structural work was required to stabilise the building and the unforeseen nature of the work coupled with a lack of input and clear communication from the professional team hampered progress. NCDT would like to emphasis that this team was different to that on the Trotters project and we are disappointed with the level of service provided on the Castle Hotel project. Phase 1 completed in May 2024 with a rectification period of 1 year. |
Other activities |
Another significant project during the year was delivering Fit Fest, Ayrshire first festival of fitness. This event was designed to encourage people to be more active by providing opportunities to try activities they might not normally consider. Approximately 2500 people attended on the day, taking part in zip slide, climbing wall, axe throwing and yoga amongst other things. NCDT are grateful to NC Community Football Club for the use of Greenhead Park and to Hare Hill Wind Farm in their support of the project. |
The Sports Forum continued to meet and were building trust and partnership between groups with a view to developing a collaborative approach to improving facilities for the community. During the year NCDT was approached by an organisation wishing to divest community assets and we began discussion with East Ayrshire Leisure Trust to identify a sustainable way to bring these into community ownership. In the meantime, The Sports Forum paused and as NCDT was asked to commit to complete confidentiality in this matter, further details could not be disclosed. Negotiations continued into the following financial year. |
ReNew Cumnock continued at the station building and the Phase 2 pre-loved clothes shop. However, due to rising costs and lower than expected customer numbers, it was decided to close the shop in the Castle. New Cumnock Working Men's Club (WMC) agreed to take on providing low/no cost pre-loved clothes for the community to complement their emergency food provision service. NCDT donated the remaining stock and clothing rails to WMC. Clothing Doctor and textile workshops continued at the station until August 2024. |
NCDT also continued their weekly Clubbercise class which remained popular. |
Regular youth groups recommenced and are now hosted every few weeks rather than every week due to staffing constraints. |
Support for other local groups also continues - these include Walking football, NC Angling Club and Afton Active Minds |

Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 |
Other social activities for local people were delivered during the year such as the Halloween Scare Trail and school holiday activities. |
The Network 76 partnership sustainable transport project led by Community Energy Scotland also continued with learning opportunities available. Their development officer came along to Fit Fest to ask for local input to a path mapping exercise. |
The Community grants programme continued and was paused during the year for routine review of effectiveness and process. This fund reopened in the following financial year. |
The finance and administration officer role was made full time. However, there is a backlog of work and the staff team are looking at ways to reduce to introduce process efficiencies. |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Reserves policy |
In order to provide stability and resilience, the trustees consider that an amount equivalent to 3 months running costs, plus contractual commitments, accountancy and legal fees should be held in reserve. In addition, recent global events and the cost of living crisis indicate that to provide sufficient resilience, a higher level of reserves is desirable. Currently, NCDT's free reserves are £38,248 (2023 - £30,424) and trustees recognise the need to build up reserves to an appropriate level. |

FUTURE PLANS |
Capital Renovation Projects NCDT will continue the capital renovation of both the Castle Hotel and the Trotters building. With funding already secured and a main contractor appointed, focus will be on the Trotters refurbishment. Phase 1 of the Castle Hotel renovation will complete and NCDT will consider if a change to the professional team is appropriate in order to take this project forward. |
Community Sports and Health Initiatives Negotiations will continue to work towards establishing a sustainable future for the proposed transfer of community assets. It is also recognised that Fit Fest should become an annual event, after the success of the inaugural event. Plans are underway for future Fit Fest events. |
Community Engagement NCDT will continue engaging with the community through various activities, including our Heritage Halloween Walk and Easter Scavenger Hunt These events allow us to share information informally about larger NCDT projects and encourage broader community involvement, including volunteering. |
Reuse Hub textile technician roles continued until August 2024. After that date the Clothing Doctor service moved on a temporary basis to NCDT offices until a formal lease is agreed |
Youth Work Due to staffing constraints, youth groups will remain as monthly sessions with occasional additional activities. A boys' group will provide similar opportunities to the girls' groups. |
Partnerships and Support We will strengthen existing relationships with New Cumnock Primary School, NC Working Men's Club, Glenafton JFC, NC Community Football Club, East Ayrshire Council and East Ayrshire Leisure Trust. Additionally, we will continue providing administrative, funding and practical support to the groups in the community. |
Organisational Strengthening NCDT became VAT registered during the next financial year backdated to 2023.. |
Anticipated Challenges We anticipate another challenging year due to the complex nature of projects and organisational changes, whilst also maintaining our face-to-face contact with the community. Staff and Trustees will continue to learn from all undertaken work, reinforcing NCDT's ability to drive forward the community's identified priorities. |

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Organisational structure |
New Cumnock Development Trust is a two-tier charity limited by guarantee; the Board of Trustees, who are responsible for the governance, stewardship and overall strategic direction of the organisation and the members. People who live in New Cumnock are eligible to be ordinary members and they elect trustees and vote on any constitutional matters. Staff carry out the day to day operations of the charity, under close direction and support of the trustees. |
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The trustees (who are also the directors of New Cumnock Development Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (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 those financial statements, the trustees are required to |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; |
- | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. |
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
In so far as the trustees are aware: |
- | there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and |
- | the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Accountants Plus (Hamilton) Ltd, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
Approved by order of the board of trustees on |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
New Cumnock Development Trust |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of New Cumnock Development Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 20 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
New Cumnock Development Trust |
Other information |
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or |
- | the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees. |
Responsibilities of trustees |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
New Cumnock Development Trust |
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
The objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks. |
The key factors impacting the detection of irregularities are the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the company's controls and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. |
We note that it can be harder to detect irregularities arising due to fraud as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements Including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and significant regulations relating to the sector in which the company operates. |
Our procedures in relation to fraud and irregularities included but were not limited to: |
- Inquiries of management whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. |
- Gaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework through discussion with management and identifying how the entity ensures compliance through a review of systems. Assessing the collective ability of the audit team to identify or recognize non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified the following as significant laws and regulations for this company - Scottish charity regulations. |
- Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risk related to fraud. |
- Making an assessment of the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement. |
- Carrying out a review of accounting systems and procedure and making an assessment on the effectiveness of its control environment. |
- Identifying the principal risks where fraud could take place eg posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates and significant one-off or unusual transaction. Discussion of these matters by the audit team. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
New Cumnock Development Trust |
- Addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing. |
- Review of board minutes and relevant correspondence with regulators and legal advisors. |
- Agreement of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation. |
The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with both those charged with governance and management. |
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). |
In particular, the more removed from the financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
As a result of our procedures, we did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 |
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of the assets held by the charity. |
Income |
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled within the reporting period. |
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the statement of financial position as deferred income to be released. |
Expenditure |
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. |
Charitable activities |
Charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. |
New Cumnock Development Trust |

1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Governance costs |
These include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustee's meetings and reimbursed expenses. |
Allocation and apportionment of costs |
Support costs have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Freehold property | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Taxation |
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |
Fund accounting |
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. |
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |
Basic financial instruments |
Debtors |
Short term debtors are measured at the transaction price, less any impairment. Loan receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
Creditors |
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. |
Reserves |
It is the policy of the charity to maintain three months average expenditure as reserves. |

12. | PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT |
In accordance with the requirements of FRS 102, the cost of freehold property is required to be depreciated unless it is classed as investment property or where the charity has a policy of revaluation. This had not previously been considered by the trustees and a prior year adjustment totalling £14,343 was included within the 2023 accounts. |
In addition, the restricted reserves were not disclosed in line with FRS 102 requirements previously. A prior year adjustment was processed in 2023 to bring this disclosure in line with the requirements. |
The 2022 accounts were unaudited. |
