WESTERN ISLES DEVELOPMENT TRUST (REGISTERED NUMBER: SC271462)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES


ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The purpose of the Trust is to support the regeneration and development of the Outer Hebrides through disbursement of community benefit secured from the local deployment of renewable energy installations. This community benefit will come from a range of technologies, predominately onshore wind, offshore wind, wave and tidal. Over time and as grid connectivity allows, the Trust will expand its activities to support community ownership of large scale renewable energy infrastructure with the objective of addressing fuel poverty through access to locally generated "green" electricity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The activities of Western Isles Development Trust were severely disrupted due to the failure of the subsea electricity cable connecting the Outer Hebrides to the Scottish mainland in October 2020. Electricity grid operator, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), completed the project to replace the cable at the end of August 2021 and gradually returned the network to normal operation shortly thereafter.

Replacement of the cable should ensure that funding streams from windfarms based in the Outer Hebrides will resume on the same terms as previously agreed upon.

Reserves policy
The general fund represents the unrestricted funds from past operating results. It also represents the free reserves of the charity. The trustees consider that the level of the free reserves in unrestricted funds at 31 August 2024 is sufficient to meet the operational requirements of the charity as presently structured.

During the year, the charity's outgoing resources exceeded incoming resources resulting in net expenditure of £31,454 for the period (2023 - net expenditure of £39,063). This results in an increase of £20 in unrestricted funds and a decrease of £31,474 in restricted funds. Unrestricted reserves has as a result increased to £364.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Association is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 2 August 2004 and registered as a charity with effect from 11 February 2014. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Subject to Article 23, each elected director shall serve for a maximum period of three years from the date of appointment as a director. At the end of this period, that elected director shall immediately resign but shall be eligible for re-appointment for subsequent periods of up to three years.

Organisational structure

D Morrison - Trustee

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
WESTERN ISLES DEVELOPMENT TRUST



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

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 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 financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees also consider that there are no significant areas of judgements, estimates or key assumptions that affect items in the accounts.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.

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.

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 expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its objects and activities. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. The allocation of direct and support costs are analysed in the notes to the financial statements.

Governance costs
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include accountancy fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

Allocation and apportionment of costs
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. estimated usage.

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.
