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 2020. 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 purpose of the charitable group is to support the relief of poverty and unemployed and disadvantaged people, to advance

education of young and unemployed people and to assist other charitable organisations that are concerned with the advancement

of education and relief of poverty through community development initiatives.

Activities

The charity has remained dormant throughout the current and prior year.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The charity's subsidiary companies were not in a position to pay up any income during the year under review. Results of the

subsidiary companies are included in the notes to the financial statements.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The trustees have not established a reserves policy at this stage as they continue to seek to stabilise the financial health of the

group. Unrestricted reserves totalling £303 are held by the company at the year end.

In these austere trading times, the trustees will look to continue to operate a full cost recovery position on the overhead expenses

of the subsidiary organisations to protect the group against future economic uncertainties and will allow the directors to pursue the

stated aims of the group.

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.

The charity is a company limited by guarantee to £1 per member. By definition no equity interests can be held in the company by

any of the trustees or any dividend paid. The charity's governing document consists of the Memorandum and Articles of

Association of the company. The charity has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Cullisvale Services Limited trading as The Scottish

Training Foundation (STF) and Portfolio Consultants Limited. The results of these subsidiaries are shown within the notes to these

financial statements.

The charity is recognised as a Scottish Charity, Number SC004151. In the trustees' opinion the Company is not liable to UK income

or corporation tax under the provisions of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988, sections 505 and 506.

The charity has a Board of Directors which is responsible for general policy decisions and for ensuring that the appropriate

safeguards are in place in both the charity and wider group. The Board consists of three non-executive trustees, all experienced in

their professional fields, namely business finance and development, education and third sector social enterprise.

The group employs a General Manager, Andrew Weir, to manage the day to day operations of the group whilst overseeing the

business financial management and corporate governance requirements.

At present the Board is satisfied with its composition which it believes to be effective in managing the business and the subsidiary

companies and driving the short, medium and long term strategies.

The Board is responsible for the appointment of new members and continues to monitor the operational and strategic needs of the

business, and will consider the appointment of new directors with relevant specialist skills that it believes will enhance the charity in

the pursuit of its strategic goals.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

New trustees are issued with a welcome pack which includes further information on their legal obligations under charity and

company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the business plan and recent financial performance of

the charity and its subsidiary undertakings.

The trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established

to mitigate those risks. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 13 September 2020 and signed on its behalf by:

S Currie - Secretary

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2020 set out on pages five to eight.

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. 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.
