It is governed by its constitution which was adopted on 17th November 2015. Friends of Plean Country Park (SCIO) became a SCIO (SC042176) on - 3 - TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 the 28th September 2015. Appointment of Trustees The Friends of Plean Country Park (SCIO) committee is elected by the organisation’s members annually at the AGM. Membership of the organisation is open to any person who is interested in helping the group achieve its aims and objectives. Organisational Structure Friends of Plean Country Park (SCIO) is governed by a management committee elected at the AGM. The trustees are responsible for the strategic direction and governance of the Charity. There are no paid members of staff. The trustees are particularly aware of their responsibilities and adhere to the policies and procedures as required by the park owner, Stirling Council. OBJECTS & ACTIVITIES The charitable aim of the charity is the advancement of environmental protection which includes the following objectives: - To represent the views of park users and the local community in partnership with the park owner, Stirling Council. - To conserve, enhance and improve the landscape, biodiversity and sustainable use of the area for the benefit of both people and wildlife. - To enable and encourage the local community and other park users to maximise their enjoyment of the park for leisure and recreational purposes while encouraging them to take an interest in the upkeep and protection of the park. ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE It was during this year that our long-standing Chair, Frances Barr, decided to stand down from the role which left us with a huge void in leadership which was going to be hard to fill. Enormous thanks must go to Fran for her 10 years overseeing the Group from its instigation to managing the many completed projects which make the Park the wonderful place it is today for wildlife and people. Very fortunately we had recently welcomed Graeme McRoberts onto the committee as a trustee and after familiarising himself with our activities, he agreed to be nominated as the new Chair at our AGM in June. Once in post, Graeme has gamely taken on meetings with the Council and raised the profile of the Park within the community whilst enjoying taking time to explore the Park with his new dog. At the AGM, positions were filled as follows: Chair Secretary Treasurer Trustees resigned from being Treasurer as he was planning to move abroad where we wish him well. It was agreed that during this year we would concentrate on providing a coffee facility within the park and develop additional parking as visitor numbers were restricted due to lack of parking. A dedicated area on the edge of the main car park was identified for the siting of a coffee van, close to the toilet block and disabled parking. The area was fenced off and prepared for a vendor (by the Council) and Land Services submitted an application for planning permission which was granted in April 2019, then advertising took place in June to find a suitable vendor. Unfortunately delays in drawing up a suitable tenancy agreement meant that the applicant was no longer interested in the lease as the summer was coming to an end. The position was about to be advertised in March 2020 when the country went into lock down due to Covid-19. - 4 - TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 Not much else happened during the year as the Park was mostly without a Council Ranger whilst we waited for return from long-term leave at the end of October 2019. Thanks to support and funding from Action Earth, we did manage to have two Rhodie Bashing workdays in November and January which were well supported with approximately 15 volunteers active on each day. - 6 - INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Friends of Plean Country Park (SCIO) I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2020, which are set out on pages 9 to 12. 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 ("the 2005 Act") and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) ("the 2006 Regulations"). The trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation (10)(1)(d) of the 2006 Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section (44)(1)(c) of the 2005 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulations. 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 seeks explanations from the 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 came 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 Regulations, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 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.

  • Work IT FINAL Report
    Public library digital participation programmes– the impact on employability Final Report on Work IT, Stirling Council Libraries Funded by Scottish Government Digital Participation Unit & Information Literacy Group, CILIP (action research project dates 11th September 2017 – 9th November 2018) Report authors: Angela Short (Digital Inclusion Officer) Lindsay McKrell, Team Leader for Libraries & Archives, Stirling Council Introduction This research set out to investigate the impact on employability of public library digital participation programmes. It did this through action research using current activity in Stirling. Digital Inclusion Officer, Angela Short, was employed from September 2017 until November 2018 in a post jointly funded by a CILIP Information Literacy Group Research Bursary and a grant from the Scottish Government Digital Participation Unit. Her role was to increase digital participation throughout public libraries in Stirling with a particular emphasis on digital support for employability. Over the course of 10 months over 156 drop-in sessions were delivered with 229 attendees. Many of these participants attended only one or two times. A total of 32 people attending regularly completed a questionnaire assessing their digital skills and confidence the second week attending Work IT and again when they had attended several sessions. Angela’s work built on the success of the general IT & Me programme already established in Stirling. The name for this programme was chosen as we aim to build both digital and information literacy skills to enable job-seeking and income maximisation, identifying the hook that highlights the benefits of digital participation to each individual. Training with IT & Me covers how to make savings online, navigating fuel comparison sites, finding out what benefits people are due, exploring internet safety or discovering how to evaluate the glut of information available online.

  • Foi-19-00951 Information Released
    13 October 2017 BC/pt Nicola Sturgeon MSP First Minister St Andrews House Regent Road Edinburgh EH1 3DG Dear First Minister, I have recently been contacted by one of my constituents regarding your announcement about setting up a public energy company. My constituent says that he applauds this commitment but has asked me to outline the issue faced by many people in rural areas. Some years ago, the then Scottish Hydro, recognising that many rural areas don’t have access to mains gas, set up a tariff called THTC (Total Heat Total Control) designed to run storage heating off-peak, plus another heating appliance on cheap rate. Consequently, many people installed electric boilers, which were just about cost-effective on that tariff. This means that, unless they are prepared to replace their entire heating systems, they are effectively locked to this tariff. No other provider offers such a tariff, and SSE don’t offer it to new customers, while being free to increase the costs. My constituent suggests that this area would seem an ideal case for the new public utility to consider. YoursR sincerely, Redactede d a c Brucet Crawford MSP e d Bruce Crawford MSP Stirling constituency (SNP) Office 16, John Player Building, Stirling Enterprise Park, Stirling FK7 7RP Telephone 01786 471899 Email: [email protected] Stirling Constituency covers: Aberfoyle, Arnprior, Ardeonaig, Balfron, Balquhidder,Bannockburn, Blanefield, Brig O’Turk, Buchlyvie, Balmaha, Callander, Cambusbarron, Cowie, Crianlarich, Croftamie, Deanston, Doune, Drymen, Fallin,
