Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2020
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 2015).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
As a Christian charity, MADE4U IN ML2's object is to promote, establish, operate or support schemes and projects of a
charitable nature for the benefit of the community within the operating area of the ML2 post code area:-
- to relieve poverty and distress among young people and families;
- to advance education and lifelong learning;
- to promote training and skills to assist young people obtain paid employment;
to improve public health through raising awareness of health and healthy living, particularly for those with mental
- illness, disability or impairment.
And to do so in a manner which helps people to experience the love of God in action by responding to needs and offering
encouragement and support, regardless of gender, disability race or religious beliefs.
MADE4U is about people - people coming together to support, help and encourage each other - and the difference that can
make to people's lives.Over the 14 years since MADE4U started operation from a portacabin., the commitment and
enthusiasm of many continues to humble and inspire..
We hope that you will be encouraged as you read this report covering the activities and finances of MADE4U IN ML2, not
just by the progress we made during that time but how we responded to the initial challenge of the Covid -19 pandemic and
lockdown restrictions and continue to do so.
Clare McCormack, our Project Manager, promptly and boldly prepared a detailed, well reasoned constructive plan and
proposal for MADE4U's response. This was a "leap of faith", fully embraced by the Board and subsequently well received
by funders. In a totally new situation, Clare and her largely new and expanding team of staff and committed volunteers have
worked long hours and been a lifeline for many. Our founding vision of making a real difference for many of the most
vulnerable and isolated individuals and struggling families in the community has taken on many arms and legs and hearts.
The commitment and enthusiasm cannot now be put back in the box.
During the year we continued to develop the work of Club 365 as one of the most successful providers of this key service in
partnership with North Lanarkshire Council. The Board was strengthened with the addition of Robbie Stevenson and
Amanda Christison, and we are seeking to expand the Board further. The application to change our legal status from a
charitable limited company to as SCIO (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation) was approved by the AGM in
November 2019 and is in the hands of the relevant regulators.
We secured new significant financial support from Probe Test Solutions and Cambusnethan North Parish Church but are
aware that the initial large influx of grants and donations to respond the to Covid-19 crisis is coming to an end as we go into
autumn and winter.
The Board is now more focussed on our priorities as outlined later in this report and looking to build on lessons learned.We
are very aware of the gifts and commitment of our staff and volunteers and the wonderful people we work with. Plenty
uncertainties, anxieties and challenges will continue for us and for many people of all ages in ML2 over the coming year but
the board is confident that MADE4U IN ML2 is stronger and better placed to make a difference.
Public benefit
MADE4U IN ML2 constitutes a public benefit as defined by FRS 102.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Valuing and Supporting Volunteers
We are hugely privileged to have such an amazing team of volunteers serving and getting involved in the organisation. This
ranges from the Trustees, those who assist and run groups and activities, to those who help out occasionally, perhaps once
per year or so at fundraising events, holiday clubs etc. The work we do would not be possible without these people.
Young Volunteers and helpers
One of our young helpers in P6 started at the Flash Club in November 2019. When he started, he was very excited and
enthusiastic to start helping out each week at the club. At first, he didn't have an understanding of the role of a young helper
and what it meant to be a young volunteer, but with careful encouragement and explanation, he was up for giving it a go.
Over the last few months of him attending the group, we have seen him grow in confidence and leadership skills, by leading
small games, explaining and demonstrating with our support and guidance. We are very proud to have seen him transfer his
existing skills to other children within the group, using his imagination to come up with games for everyone to get involved
in. He is always eager to participate and encourages others in group games, activities, discussions sharing his experience and
opinions with the group. Every week he is excited to learn something new and new ways of helping, supporting our younger
children of the group. Our group is filled with many fun activities including food crafts, arts and crafts, physical activities.
He is continuously excited about what's planned at the start of each session, for example when we made healthy fruit kebabs,
he was there making sure the children had support. It's been amazing seeing him grow in confidence and become a positive
role model to members of the group. Through this group, the activities we provide and our support, this has really benefitted
him as an individual and has given him the opportunity of a sense of wellbeing where this has shown an increase in
self-confidence, self-esteem, physical health, creativity, increasing new ways of working as a young helper.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Introduction:
MADE4U is run by a small (mostly part-time) staff team, operating mainly out of a community centre in Cambusnethan (a
former nursery school leased from North Lanarkshire Council but gutted and made fit for purpose by our volunteers 9 years
ago) with a team of committed volunteers and board members. Motivated by our belief in God's love for us, it is our aim to
see people encouraged, empowered and engaged; making a difference that matters in the local community. Our vision is to
see a community free of isolation, free of low self-worth and free of lack of opportunity for change.
Children's Work
One of the key staples of MADE4U's work has always been our work with Under 12s.This ranges from our Toddlers group
as the very youngest members to after -school club, girls' group, Zumbatonic and of course some provision within football
and Club 365.
This year, we relaunched our long-standing afterschool club "Jelly Bean" and were able to start afresh with the new look
"Flash Club". The aim of the new group was to allow for a longer time for children to join us, and to support parents in
afterschool care. The previous club started later, finished earlier and through parent evaluation and feedback, we heard thar
parents needed something longer and that started straight after school. The relaunch revived what was a struggling group,
under the leadership of Adele. In late 2019 we were awarded funding from our local consortium group which allowed us to
bring a second sessional worker in. This allowed us to achieve our goal of providing a snack bar, offering homework
support, and in terms of activities, these were a mix of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), craft,
physical activity, mirroring the successful format of Club 365 in recent years.
Other children's activities included Zumbatonic, with long term instructor Lynsey McCallum, averaging around 15 local kids
each week, football each Wednesday with Ross and Dougie, attracting sometimes up to 60 children and young people over
the course of two hours and girls' group which Adele continues to grow and develop.
Toddlers "Tots of Fun @ ML2"
This year we were able to invest more resources into our Toddlers' group which was rebranded as "Tots of Fun @ ML2"
under the leadership of two excellent volunteers, Sarah and Charlotte.Thanks to their hard work and a little funding from our
local consortium, they were able to launch messy play during summer 2019 which allowed children to have a richer, more
sensory experience while participating. It also helps parents who would be hesitant to do messy play at home due to the
stress and mess they would have to deal with.We were able to run a number of special "sibling special" sessions where older
siblings also had activities to engage them and it meant that parents were still able to come along if they had older children
who were off school for summer.The toddlers' group took part in a number of trips throughout this year, including a trip to
soft play "Dinom8", a Christmas trip to Gouldings and a meetup over the summer for another softplay adventure. All of
these trips were made possible by the hard work of the volunteers.
Club 365
Following last year's success in partnering with North Lanarkshire Council and Lanarkshire Community Food and Health
Partnership to deliver Club 365, we continued on with a full year's provision of this activity as part of a core of Voluntary
Sector providers. This year,we provided 98 sessions working with a 132 children over the whole year. We provided a
whopping 2175 meals over this time, often to children and families who would be struggling during the school holidays. We
were able to use our own centre for this, which saw an increase in attendances. This funding for this procurement opportunity
was provided by Scottish Attainment Fund and distributed by North Lanarkshire Council. Our outcomes included young
volunteers stepping up, children's behaviour improving in sessions and also in school and holiday hunger reduced.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
A secondary outcome from the Club 365 is an increase in employment and volunteering opportunities, which are mainly
offered to young people in our community. This year, the team consisted of 7 sessional employees who were under 25, four
of whom were under 21. This provides an unique opportunity to coach young people in their first steps in the world of work,
and to offer training, support and development. Throughout this time, 4 of these 7 individuals were supported to either lead
sessions, plan programme elements or lead evaluation sessions. We have seen all 7 of these young people grow in
confidence, develop life skills and gain clearer aspirations for their futures. They are also great role models to the younger
volunteers who support our sessions who are between 14 and 16 and who attend the sessions to learn how to work with
younger children, support and serve the team and Club 365 in general. These young people have gained understanding about
youth and community work, working with children, dealing with difficult situations and much more. They lead and support
free play times, plan games and support with set up and set down of the hall and contribute ideas for exciting and energy
filled sessions.
Youth work
Since November 2017, MADE4U has operated without a youth development worker. We are pleased to say that in March
2020, we were successful in raising the funds needed to recruit for this post and David Taylor joined us in this role. We look
forward to seeing all the ways in which the youth work develops in the coming years.
Girls Group
For some time the older group of girls associated with the Monday night girls group had lost interest in the activities being
planned. Through this year, they have been coming in for tea, toasties and a chat during this session. Through discussion it
emerged that they would like to 1. Plan and produce events with our help, and 2. Be part of a mixed youth group. The girls
decided on and organised their own sponsored glow in the dark walk, which they did in December 2019, and a small group
of girls also planned and hosted their own coffee morning. It was such a privilege to support them through all aspects of
these events from advertising to pulling it off on the day. The evaluation we did with the girls showed that even though some
aspects of the events hadn't gone as they had wanted, that the learning for the girls was huge. They said they learned to work
as a team, advertise and communicate and they had learned lots about managing small budgets.
Youth Group
Through consultation with young people in our group, football in school, we decided to launch a youth group. In the run up
to this we held a number of youth hangouts to hear the young people's views and give them a chance to tell us what they
wanted. We managed one of these sessions, with 6 young people showing up. Unfortunately Covid had other plans so watch
this space as we will relaunch when we can!
Football
Once again, our football sessions, held at Cambusnethan Primary have proved to be popular all year round. The younger age
groups enjoy a kickabout and some coaching between 6 and 7pm while the older group enjoy a match and learning some
skills between 7 and 8pm. The highlight of the year was in July 2019 when a BBQ-celebration-fundraiser was held. Eleanor
Hailley of our board helped the coaches and the young people organise the event raising £590 toward continuing the football
sessions.
School Partnership
We were privileged to support the transition programme for Coltness High School, providing 120 lunches over 3 days
(through Club 365) so that those attending the summer transition programme could have a balanced lunch.
Adults
Community Crafts
The aim with this group is to give crafters a space to come and do their individual crafts in a communal space. There is an
existing group of cardmaking ladies who enjoy the space as a place to meet and chat and enjoy their hobby.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
"Get Connected " Groups
One of the biggest issues amongst the older age group in our community is isolation and loneliness. Our "Get Connected"
groups run across a number of days and include Soup and Sandwich, Bingo, Thursday Lunch Club and Your Thursday Club.
This allows for connection points throughout the week when there may be a focus or there may just be an opportunity for an
cuppa and a cake. Your Thursday Club have a variety of speakers and this has included a visit from a guide dog, travel
slideshows and musical entertainment. Thursday Lunch Club allows for those over 55 or those most vulnerable to come and
benefit from a low-cost lunch as we run this in partnership with NLC.
Trips and Events
Throughout the year,these groups engage in trips and events including visiting Linlithgow Castle and attending pantomimes;
those social events are much needed to reduce isolation and loneliness.
Walking Group
This group still runs in partnership with Paths For All who provide training and support for volunteers who lead the groups.
This year, an additional two walk leaders were trained to join the group. The participants enjoy an hour long gentle walk
around the local nature reserve "The Perchy" going at their own pace as many may be struggling with mobility, in a
wheelchair or battling other health issues.The walk leaders may divide the group in two depending on who has joined that
day and on the group's abilities.
Alternative Dance
Alternative Dance is a group designed to give people of mixed ability the opportunity to join with dance and movement. The
group runs (not run) for a little over an hour. We employ a tutor from North Lanarkshire Council for this purpose. The group
is popular due to its low cost and its accessibility. Carers go free and there is a tea and coffee break where users get to stop
and socialise.
Fundraising activities
In line with our strategic goal, it was our aim to host most fundraisers in this reporting year, diversifying our income away
from solely grant funding. Fundraising income is important in the life of a small community centre. If you have an idea and
would like to raise funds, please do get in touch.
Our girls group hosted a coffee morning raising 154.70, and organised a glow walk, raising £107.00
Our football group organised a sponsored penalty shoot out and event, and raised £590.00 towards our football sessions.
Our annual Christmas Fayre raised £745.16 despite bad weather, and we are thankful for the support of the Bingo group in
putting together an awesome tombola, and our Toddlers' volunteers for pulling together many other aspects of the event.
We were nominated for ASDA's green token campaign and came second overall, after Newmains Primary. We were glad to
receive £200.00 due to the large number of people giving tokens in our support.
We worked in partnership with Jim Frame to help him host a Punk night fundraiser in aid of his chosen charity, "Loves
World Mission', where support goes straight to Malawi to support purchases for children to attend school, raising £418.08.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Covid Response
At the tail end of this financial year, in March 2020, we (and others around the world) began to realise the severity of the
Coronavirus pandemic. The virus forced the closure of our centre to normal activity in beginning to mid March. We quickly
set about consulting our group members and the wider public about what sort of response would be required. We saw that
there were food shortages, affecting those most vulnerable, and that those who would usually be getting by 'alright' were
unable to access shopping slots or get out to supermarkets as normal. We discovered that people were being asked to shield
but this was creating unprecedented levels of loneliness and isolation.
We will report more fully on this in our next year's annual report, but to publish this report without mention of it would be
remiss, and would be bypassing a pivotal time in MADE4U's shape and connection in the community. By the end of March
2020, we were setting about delivering 15,000 leaflets, to every home in the ML2 area. This leaflet offered support in
befriending, personal shopping, and we set up a temporary foodbank.
This response required new technology and new ways of working and North Lanarkshire Council and others (social work,
Health Workers, local churches, etc) quickly heard about our response and disseminated this to those who were most in
need. By approximately 20th March, we were taking our first calls and shaping the work to come in April 2020 and onwards.
The response and route we took in response to the need witnessed in our community was not a random response, rather, it
was clear through our strategy work and identifying our priorities, that this was exactly where we needed to be operating in
the weeks and months to come.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Trustees report a surplus of £26,561 for the year (2019 deficit £26,450). Net assets were £63,818 at 31 March 2020
(2019: £37,257).
We are grateful to the generosity of the Hinshelwood Gibson Trust, Wishaw Churches Together and of individual local
Christians, also North Lanarkshire Council for their Single Source Grant. We appreciate the weekly provison of their large
church hall by Cambusnethan Old for our weekly Alternative Dance sessions.
Reserves policy
The reserves policy is currently set at 3 months running costs plus statutory redundancy provision.

FUTURE PLANS
We noted in last year's report that times were challenging and that we had a number of urgent requirements to strengthen the
financial position of the organisation and that of the governance of the board in particular. You will have noted throughout
this report that these elements have seen some improvement, and in particular our £26k deficit being turned around and with
two new trustees joining the Board. However, in these testing times, we must not lose focus of the significant trials that face
small charities with big aspirations such as ours. We must stay focused on drawing in funding for our core activities and to
expand in line with our priorities and strategic plan (which will be finalised later in 2020). We must look at structure in line
with this.
At the time of writing, we are 6 months into the global pandemic which has brought with it some challenges for MADE4U
and also significant opportunity. We have been privileged to work closely with North Lanarkshire Council in serving the
shielding and more vulnerable groups throughout this time; providing food parcels, befriending support, youth activity
packs. This has allowed us to jump ahead on some of our strategic goals, and as such we now face the challenge of gaining
continued support for key areas such as "Wellbeing and Isolation", and developing new types of children's engagement and
youth work in unsettled times. Throughout all of this is the key strand of mental health which we must prioritise throughout
everything.
We still seek the change from our current form to SCIO, having experienced significant delay and hope to have this finalised
within this current annual year.
With regard to staffing, we have seen significant change in the months from April 2020 until now (September 2020), with a
number of new staff joining us in roles such as Well-being and Isolation Worker, Chef, Cleaner, as well as the anticipated
new start of a new CJS worker in Administration who will be supported by a more senior post holder under the title Finance
and Administration Officer. This is alongside an increase in hours for a number of our existing workers in line with the
demands of the Covid Response Team and increased funding drawn in with this.
Fortunately, we have received significant support as we have responded during this first six months, however, the challenge
now is to continue to find financial support for these areas.
The Trustees are mindful of our legal responsibilities in the hard choices and challenges that we face, particularly in ensuring
enhanced cleaning, safety of our users and thorough risk assessment before starting any face-to-face work.
In all the endeavours to Make a Difference in our community, we thank you for your support.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Next steps
During 2019-20, MADE4U's Board of Trustees underwent significant change. One valued member of our board, Jim
Zambonini, moved on, and others joined; Robbie Stevenson from local Peer Education organisation, LANDED, joined us,
and Amanda Christison, bringing with them new drive and passion for work with young people, and for our ML2
community.
The Trustees commissioned two training sessions with Diane McWilliam, helping us understand the role of Governance and
think more deeply about our future as an organisation. In this time, we re-looked at our social objectives and started to look
at the development of a business plan. Towards the end of this financial year, we were successful in applying to the 'Building
Enterprising Boards' programme, and began a programme of 10 hours support to assist in developing the sustainability of
MADE4U, which we look to complete in October 2020.
Furthermore, we undertook a re-branding exercise, which allowed us to develop a logo based on the community's view of
MADE4U, and has given us a stronger logo which will bolster our position as an effective, bold and change-making
community organisation.
Key management remuneration
The trustees consider the board of trustees as comprising the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing
and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. All trustees give their time freely and
no trustee received remuneration or expenses.
Team
Over the course of this year, we had some significant changes, with Bill Craig moving on after 8 years with MADE4U taking
care of facilities and catering. Adam Oliver also moved on after 1 year with us as a CJS Administration worker. This meant
that we were a small team of 3 until into March when we were able to access a further CJS post and funding to employ David
Taylor as Youth Development Worker, after this post being vacant for a number of years.
Clare McCormack - Project Manager
Clare has been with us for 4.5 years now. She enjoys setting up systems that helps things work better, and supporting people
to achieve their goals. This year has seen her focus on strategic goals and work to turn around our financial situation, as well
as work to create a staffing structure and vision that will sustain us into the future.
Adele Bryson - Centre and Children's Worker
Adele is now our longest serving staff member, having started with us through CJS in 2013. She has recently graduated with
a degree in Community Education from UWS after working through HNC, HND etc. Her extra training and the confidence
that has come with it have been apparent in the quality and depth of work she brings to girls group, Club 365, Afterschool
work, and much more.
David Taylor - Youth Development Worker
David joined us in March 2020, before being quickly roped into COVID Response work. His remit will be to develop youth
work; linking in with local youth work organisations, schools and most importantly, young people in the local area. This role
also includes supporting and managing junior and sessionial youth workers with the team.
Susan McLeary - Facilities
Susan has been with us in her volunteer capacity for around 3-4 years now, working with girls group, and now in assisting
with the facilities side of things. Susan has grown in confidence this year as she has gained her Lvl2 Food Hygiene, PDA in
Youth Work and Emergency First Aid. It has been fabulous having her around as a true 'local' to the centre, and her
dedication to keeping us all tidy and organised, and the centre clean is fab!
Matthew Evans - Centre & Community Support
Matthew joined us through CJS in this all-round role to support MADE4U and its work in reaching and supporting
community members. He has proved to be a major asset as he has been invaluable in taking on the day-to-day co-ordination
of COVID referrals and getting parcels, support and befriending out to people who need it most.

Risk management
The Board of Directors approves all projects. Each project is considered to identify any potential risk issues that may result.
Attempts are made where possible to eliminate risk or potential risk. In the event of any residual risk remaining, assurances
are required by the board that this be minimised.
It is realised that the main risk to the project is underfunding. The reserves policy is currently set at 3 months running costs
plus statutory redundancy provision.
Reliance is required from staff and volunteers to be committed to working towards the aims and visions of the project. The
Board will strive to train, equip and empower both paid and unpaid staff to take this forward.
The organisation has Employers and Public Liability insurance against any potential claim. Volunteers and staff working
with children, young people and vulnerable groups are appropriately interviewed, inducted and put through PVG checks with
Disclosure Scotland (through our intermediary body, Volunteer Scotland (previously CRBS).
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of MADE4U IN ML2 for the purposes of company law) are responsible for
preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom
Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of
the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the
income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are
required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable
company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the
Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit
information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, WDM Associates (Statutory Auditors), will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual
General Meeting.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees and Members of
MADE4U IN ML2
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of MADE4U IN ML2 (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2020
which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is
applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2020 and of its incoming
resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee
Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and the provisions
available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 17 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you
where:
- the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not
appropriate; or
- the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast
significant doubt about the charitable company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting
for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the
annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly
stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in
the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material
misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material
misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the
audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Accounts
(Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the charitable company has not kept proper and adequate accounting records or returns adequate for our audit have
not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a
Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the
charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for
being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to
enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but
to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs
(UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting
Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent
Auditors.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the
Companies Act 2006, and to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 44(1)(c) of the
Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations
2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members and trustees those
matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's
members and trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 March 2020
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 2015)', 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.
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. The following specific policies
are applied to particular categories of income:
(a) Donations
Donations are included in the year in which they are receivable and the amount can be measured reliably.
(b) Grants
Grants are included in the year in which they are receivable and the amount can be measured reliably; this is
normally upon notification from the grant funder.
(c) Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the
charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
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.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Tenant improvements
Office equipment
- 20% on cost
- 33% on cost
Basic financial instruments
Basic financial instruments, which include trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured
at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost.
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.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions
arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over
the period of the lease.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable
company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid
net of any discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three
months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably
result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or
estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.
