REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

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 October 2025. 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 main objective of the charity is to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the Ness, Isle of Lewis and the surrounding area by advancing education and in the interests of social welfare to provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure-time occupation so that the conditions of life of the aforementioned inhabitants may be improved.

Significant activities

The principal activity of the charity during the year under review was the management and administration of the 'Sporsnis' community facility at Lionel, Ness, Isle of Lewis and the production of the 20-page fortnightly community newspaper 'fios'. The two lane bowling alley, main sports hall, fitness room, softplay area and meeting rooms continue to be a good source of income. The newspaper in particular has boosted our funds with increased advertising.

Volunteers

As Sporsnis strives to be a successful, professionally run business, there continues to be less input from volunteers at reception but the charity relies heavily on volunteer mechanics to maintain the bowling machinery. We are also fortunate to have local skilled tradesmen who `fix` things free of charge. Some staff and directors continue to freely contribute their time and energy.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

One staff member has qualified as a Personal Trainer and we have started to provide Personal Training services.

Unfortunately, our development trainee has decided to leave Spòrsnis to pursue her career elsewhere.

Gymnastics continues to show growth, but other activities have shown a reduction in attendance which is being addressed by launching new activities such as Lego club which has very good attendance.

Spòrsnis has now taken over running the Ploigh, holiday activity programme which is working well.

New equipment in the Weights gym has brought it up to a high standard and we have seen an increase in gym users as a result.

Internal and external factors

The charity is now less dependent upon the support of public funding agencies to assist in the ongoing delivery of the aims and objectives of the organisation. The trustees are confident that the main objectives for the forthcoming year will be achieved.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

In addition to the funds raised through membership subscriptions, admissions and sale of the newspaper, the charity is partially dependent on grants, donations and fundraising to fund its operational costs. Full details of the charity's principal funding sources are included in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment policy and objectives

The charity's reserves are maintained in bank accounts as the current level of reserves are required to meet the Association's short term operational requirements.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The General fund and Designated fund represents the unrestricted funds from past operating results. It also represents the free reserves of the charity. The cost of the Sporsnis facility is funded by the income generated from the use of the facilities, fundraising activities and public grants. The trustees consider that the level of unrestricted reserves held at 31 October 2025, which equates to approximately four months operating expenditure, is sufficient to meet the day to day activities of the charity as presently structured. The trustees have an amount of £20,000 in a Designated Contingency fund to assist with future operating, repair and restructuring costs.

During the year the charity's resources expended exceeded incoming resources resulting in net expenditure of £64,845 for the period (2024 - net expenditure of £55,897). This represents an increase of £9,844 in unrestricted funds and a decrease of £74,689 in restricted funds. The unrestricted general fund has as a result increased to

£83,270

The decrease in restricted funds relates mainly to the depreciation charge for the year charged to restricted funds in respect of the Sporsnis community facility, equipment and fittings. The restricted Sports Centre and Equipment funds represent the funds raised to assist with the building of the community facility and the purchase of equipment and fittings and are utilised to fund the future depreciation of the capital expenditure.

FUTURE PLANS

Negotiations continue towards the management of the swimming pool on behalf of the Council; we continue to await their engagement.

A new website is being prepared for Fios which will allow subscribers to access their purchased subscription directly and also the archive.

We are seeking funding for a bike shelter and new cardio gym equipment.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

NESS SPORTS AND RECREATION ASSOCIATION

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 October 2025 set out on pages five 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 OCTOBER 2025

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.

| These accounts are prepared in pound 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.

| 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.

| Preparation of consolidated financial statements

| The financial statements contain information about Ness Sports and Recreation Association as an individual charity and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The charity has taken the option under Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 and Regulation 6 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 not to prepare consolidated financial statements as the charity and its subsidiary, Sporsnis Limited, qualify as a small group and the gross income of the group is below the charities group accounts preparation threshold.

| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

| The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year relate to the useful economic lives and residual values of tangible fixed assets.

| The annual depreciation charge for tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, future investment, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. Details of the values of tangible fixed assets are included in the notes to the financial statements..

| 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.

| Grants generated to support the objects of the charity and without further specified purpose are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities in that period. Grants received which are related to capital expenditure or are for a specified purpose are transferred to Restricted Funds and are utilised to fund the future depreciation of the related capital expenditure or fund the costs relating to the specified purpose.

| 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.

| Raising funds

| Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of fundraising activities.

| NESS SPORTS AND RECREATION ASSOCIATION |

| 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 include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include audit 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.

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

| Buildings | - | 4% on cost

| Bowling equipment | - | 10% on cost

| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The costs of minor additions or those costing below £100 are not capitalised.

| Fund accounting

| Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

| Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

| Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

| Foreign currencies

| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction.
