Structure, governance and management
New trustees are appointed by the current members of the board. No formal policy exists for the appointment, induction and training of trustees.
Objectives and activities
Within the overall concept of the Scottish Office's initiative to encourage the formation of Local Rural Partnerships,
Highland Perthshire Communities Partnership
also seeks to encourage and assist local community groups in promoting and evaluating their own project proposals and, where appropriate, to assist with sourcing funding support.
Achievements and performance
This has been a difficult and reorienting year for HPCP. Over the last five years we have seen the completion of the Broadband Network that has been highly successful for the community delivering Broadband to around 350 local residents to date whose location would have prevented them from enjoying fast broadband services.
The final phase was partly financed by Perth & Kinross Council (P&KC) via the umbrella of HPCP although completion was delayed due to Covid restrictions so that completion is now scheduled for 31/12/22.
As HPCP will no longer be required to host the Broadband Equipment it is proposed to transfer the lease on 23 Atholl Rd to Heartland FM.
The next project that HPCP has now been tasked with is the development of the Recreation Ground and Pavilion in Pitlochry. This project was initiated by P&KC who approached HPCP asking if they would take over the responsibility for running and maintaining the Pavilion if a grant was awarded for refurbishing the Pavilion. The rationale behind this is the policy of P&KC whereby they wish to divest themselves from as much property as possible that is not essential for the efficient running of P&KC.
HPCP see this as a great opportunity for vastly improving the recreational and welfare facilities of Pitlochry and its surrounding area. The project has the support of P&KC, Pitlochry Community Council, Pitlochry Estates Trust (The owner of the ground and surrounding area) and several other local sports and welfare groups.
This would be a long term (5yr) project costing some £3M with the initial stages concentrating on the Pavilion where an offer of financial support from P&KC is already on the table.
The overall plan is to establish the facility using a grant-based financing system but one that can slowly morph into a self-sustaining revenue-based operation.
Given its mandate, HPCP is uniquely placed to deliver this project given its track record with the Broadband Initiative.
Financial review
Income was significantly down on last year due to the coronavirus financial support having ended. Another significant event this year was the decision to write-off the debt due from Heartland FM. After careful consideration, it was decided that its rent of the Atholl Road premises, £15,550 accrued since 2019/20, was unlikely to be received and should be written-off as irrecoverable. In addition to that, further amounts of £3,793 due from Heartland FM were also written-off in the year. Rent due from Heartland FM for the current year has been waived.
Graham Huggins, trustee, has very generously decided to write-off his funds originally provided to the charity as a loan. This is disclosed as a donation in the current year.
The balance of income during the year consisted solely of £10,301 from broadband services (2021: £5,853). This income has reduced going into the next year after supply to Blair Atholl Caravan Park ended in December 2021.
The largest item of ongoing expenditure continues to be rent of the building in Atholl Road at £10,950 (2021: £10,950).
There was a deficit of £3,461 on unrestricted funds at the year end (2021: £1,137) and a deficit of £4,951 remaining on one restricted fund (2021: £4,951). It is hoped that income generated from new sources, such as the Pavilion, will allow the deficits to be eventually cleared.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
|
Year ended 31 March 2022
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of
Highland Perthshire Communities Partnership
('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (‘the 2005 Act’), the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). You are satisfied that the accounts of the company are not required by charity or company law to be audited and have chosen instead to have an independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 44(1)(c) of the 2005 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed the requirements of Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity is required by company law to prepare its accounts on an accruals basis and is registered as a charity in Scotland your examiner must be a member of a body listed in Regulation 11(2) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAS which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1.
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act, section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; or
2.
the financial statements do not accord with those records or with the accounting requirements of Regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006; or
3.
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4.
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
Going concern
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The trustees believe the charity's accounts are relatively straight forward and as a result there were no judgements, estimates or assumptions that on their own had a significant effect on the financial statements.
Fund accounting
Incoming resources
Resources expended
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
-
Charitable expenditure 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. The bases of apportionment of support costs between activities are detailed in the relevant note.
-
Governance costs include all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. These are costs which arise from the administrative activities within the charity. They are shown as a separate category of support costs within the notes to the accounts and are not apportioned between activities.
-
Other expenditure includes any expenditure which cannot be included within the above categories due to exceptional size or incidence.
Tangible assets
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Expenditure on charitable activities by activity type
Support costs consist of costs which cannot be identified directly with a particular charitable activity but which must be apportioned on bases which reflect the proportionate degrees of use of resources by the various activities.
Office space is formally subleased to the Heartland Radio Foundation and this letting activity comprises one of the charitable activities between which shared costs are apportioned. Apportionment also attempts to recognise the small use made of office facilities by the community projects side of the charity.
The rent expense is allocated on the basis of floor area. Apportionment is 5%, 20%, and 75% to community, broadband and let property, respectively. Office insurance is apportioned according to insured values as 5%, 40%, and 55% to community projects, broadband and let property, respectively.
The electricity cost is apportioned on the basis of estimated usage. The radio studio has a large power requirement which has been estimated at 74% of the total cost. The remainder is split 5%/21% to community projects and broadband, respectively.
The website continues to provide information on both community projects assistance and the broadband activities. Website costs are apportioned 75% and 25% to broadband and community projects, respectively, based on the relative proportions of website space allocated to each activity.
Governance costs are allocated entirely to the broadband activity. It is felt that any expenditure attributable to the other activities would be immaterial.

The general fund was established for application to the costs of general development projects throughout the community. A deficit of £4,951 from earlier years will be carried forward until sufficient unrestricted funds are available to clear the balance.
The broadband funds represent both the net book value of the broadband system financed with these funds, £5,623 at 31 March 2022 (2021: £1,600), and any balances on grants remaining unspent at the year end, £24,111 (2021: £29,641). Annual depreciation on purchased equipment is charged to these funds.
