God’s love is the motivation of all we do; this is our foundational
value. If we only had one value it would just be love; this is primary.
We believe that God’s love is also just! “
"God always takes his stand unconditionally and
passionately… against the lofty and on behalf of the lowly;
against those who enjoy right and privilege and on behalf of
those who are denied and deprived of it.” (Barth)
LOVE is an encouragement to and from all who are with and
alongside us in Christian community, to walk in Unity and Love.
Believing in Difference
MADE4U believes in Kingdom Values; and
in this, the way God has us operate in
faith is often different to how the world
would have us operate. Change happens
by working ‘with’ people and ‘for’ people;
while we want to work alongside people,
often we are called to advocate for those
who don’t have a voice. True change in
our area will happen when we encourage
people to take ownership; of the project,
their lives and their community. This way,
we will encourage and champion change
in our community.
Hope
Our bottom line is that we believe that
there is hope for all regardless of their
oppression; mental health, physical
poverty, or isolation. This is hope which
spans both community and individuals.
We will identify potential in all we work
with, and in the community we are placed
in, searching out hope where it is
sometimes hidden. We will recognise and
build on assets in our community and in
those we work with, and also identify
needs and help people address them.
Refuge
MADE4U is aiming to be a beacon of
Refuge and Safety. A core part of
becoming this in people’s lives is
listening to stories and acting, and
encouraging and equipping people to
act for themselves. We aim to offer
opportunities to those who most need
them. We support people who engage
with us to the best of our ability, but
know we are not called to do everything
ourselves, but to signpost people into
support structures and alongside others
who are also towers of refuge and who
can offer what is needed.
Acceptance
MADE4U believes in respecting and
celebrating everyone’s uniqueness and
will welcome all to its activities and
programmes. We believe that everyone
has a right to be valued, and a
responsibility to value others, we know
that people have a unique voice that will
resound in harmony with others around
it. Ultimately, it is our calling to accept
all; because we have, first, been
accepted by God.

SUPPORT YOUTH WELLBEING
CHILDREN
C O R E S T A F F T E A M
During this period, our Project Manager, Clare McCormack
committed more hours to the project and moved to 31.5 hours per
week in order to coordinate the response to the pandemic. Susan
McLeary maintained our facilities until January 2021, at which point,
Jordan Douglas, who had been supporting in this role, stepped up to
take on the coordination of facilities and catering. Ellie Hallford
joined us late in the year to assist with admin under the CJS scheme.
David Taylor was invaluable in this financial year and quickly took
to building partnerships and supporting young people struggling
with the pandemic. He started with us on 28 hours per week but we
quickly realised the need and were able to increase his hours. Much
of our youth work was prohibited by lockdown measures, so David
was able to invest his time into supporting families and remote
youth projects.
Our children's work has moved from strength to strength under the
leadership of Adele Bryson, who also graduated with a degree in
Community Education during the year in question and with the
support of the Robertson Trust, we were able to offer increased hours
and stability for this role. The work was also supported by a
committed team of sessional workers, including Ronnie Jamieson,
Daniel Gordon, Susan McLeary, Amber Quammie, and Alex Taylor who
all assisted with Good Grub Club and remote children's work projects.
Given the focus of the year, ensuring response to wide-ranging
community needs during the covid pandemic was paramount. We
were fortunate that Matthew Evans, who had joined us in March 2020
had a great aptitude for coordination and support of people. His role
was then complemented by Allana Baird joining the team in May 2020
These two roles (25 and 17.5 hours respectively) were key in ensuring
we had a consistent response to people in need, developing
befriending, coordinating emergency food provisions and supporting
the welcome influx of volunteers. They were supported by Cameron
McManus who joined later in the year as wellbeing chef.
A special mention goes out to the great number of volunteers who supported the
work of MADE4U in the community during the first lockdown especially, with many
of those continuing to support in many ways in an ongoing basis.
In total, at the point of counting, we had partnered with over 70 local people during
the 12 months being reported on. These individuals came from all walks of life, with
many furloughed for a period and looking for ways to contribute. These included
police officers, councillors, teachers, business professionals, bus drivers and more. We
are particularly grateful for our partnership with Coltness High School where a
number of staff members were invited to support MADE4U when schools were
closed.
For a flavour of the types of roles these volunteers undertook, we have listed some
roles below:
Delivering 15,000 Community Response Team leaflets to all homes
in the ML2 postcode area
Collecting and delivering donations (hand sanitiser, bread,
Fareshare)
Driving and assisting daily delivery of emergency food parcels,
shielding boxes, shopping and more
Spending time making befriending and check-in calls
Assisting local families with deliveries of Christmas presents,
Christmas and Scottish Event meals, Winter Fund Parcels and more
Dog walking, grass-cutting, prescription drop-offs and other
practical help
Going shopping for isolated, vulnerable and shielding individuals
Over the year we are reporting on,
children’s work has been a key element
for many children of the Wishaw area,
especially during the lockdown.
Reminding ourselves of our vision
which says: “We see a community free
of isolation,” Our mission and main
focus was to support and care for
children’s mental health, wellbeing and
development at this time. We adapted
some of our groups, like girls 'group, to
run over zoom so children were still
connecting with their friends and
peers.
We also launched local community
projects by partnering with primary
schools to keep children thinking
positively about their future. As you
will see in the pages to come, some of
our children’s projects made a
significant impact to many people of all
ages who were experiencing anxiety,
isolation, low confidence and
disadvantage.
It was so inspiring to see the
encouragement from children aged 5-
I
10 staying positive and also sharing
their positivity and community spirit
by expressing this through art work
and creative writing, showing people
are not alone.

During the first lockdown and due to
the isolation and disconnection which
came with it, families in the local area
were struggling with food poverty.
MADE4U responded to this need by
ensuring children had a place to get a
hot meal, so Good Grub Club was
launched. A free lunch was offered,
which helped families experiencing
disadvantage with children who were
finding it hard to get something to eat
during the day.
Good Grub Club built on the success of previous years' Club365 and learning
from that. Sessional workers believe that messy play sessions and science
experiments make a great difference; they encourage teamwork, confidence
and creative growth. In other craft sessions, the children came up with ideas
such as rocket ship junk modelling sessions, or a collaborative art project
where the community donated bottle caps and cardboard boxes. Each of the
four groups made something completely different from the same materials.
The activities carried out were inclusive for the kids, it didn’t matter if one is
struggling at home or another has a stable family life; they come together to
do the activity and are able to make new friends and experience new things.
There is no differing treatment, no stigma and no exclusion; this is what
MADE4U strives for; a community connected without judgment.

One parent, of two children with
learning difficulties, said: “I have
seen the boys come into
themselves. One of them was on a
microphone talking and praising
other kids. The other one was just
talking to everybody and involving
everybody. It brought their
confidence levels up a lot; the staff
really got them involved.”

The Christmas Toy Drive provided Christmas gifts to children of
families experiencing disadvantage aged between 0-16 years, who
were struggling during this period due to Covid. This project made a
significant difference to the lives of many children, to ensure they had
something to open on Christmas Day.
We offered a mixture of pre-loved and
new toys for all age groups. We covered
the whole ML2 area with a specific focus
on families within the top 5-10% most
deprived areas as identified by the SIMD
(Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation).
Donations came from a wide range of
local businesses including Pizza Hut,
Royal Bank of Scotland and The
Avenue.
We partnered with the PTA at Calderbridge Primary and other
members of the community offering donations to sponsor gifts. We
also received outstanding support from Coltness High; John McGilp
(Headteacher) and the cleaning and janitorial team. We received
referrals from Barnardos, Lanarkshire Food and Health Partnership, as
well as many referrals coming from Social Work, Family First and
Housing Support services. We also referred to some of the key
vulnerable families we have worked with over the past few months.
We recruited 25 volunteers who did the cleaning and sanitising the gifts
and wrapping them, organising the shopping, ensuring age-appropriate
gifts were given. We had a designated driver to safely deliver them to
the families. These families were in struggling situations like financially
unstable housing issues, some were re-housed, single-parent families
and families that had language barriers.
The delivery teams were overwhelmed by the gratitude for the gifts, even
receiving a standing ovation; the parents' faces, when their gifts were either
delivered or collected made everything worth it.
“I don’t really get much help with the
children, so this will support me so
much. Was not expecting that much
gifts. If I could give you a hug right
now, I would.”

It is really hard this, I wouldn’t have been

SPRING INTO HOPE
MADE4U has been developing community-wide projects with the aim of
getting local schools involved. Seven schools got involved in Spring into
Hope, as the country eased out of the winter lockdown; including
Newmains, Calderbridge, St Aidan’s, Berryhill, Thornlie, Cambusnethan,
and St Thomas’ participated. The project encouraged children to create
artwork representing hope, spring, and new beginnings. MADE4U
encouraged the children to create pictures to inspire happiness and hope
for everyone in Wishaw to hang them up around the area on lampposts,
school gates etc, and set out walking routes for families to find the
childrens' artwork in 5 different locations.
Overall, we received over 500 entries, and the work we received ranged
from sketches to oil paintings to paintings and collages. These were then
printed on waterproof boards and displayed.
Through this project, we received feedback from the headteachers. All
were positive such as one saying, “I definitely smiled”, “the artwork really
brightens up our gates'' and “it’s been a lovely idea.” As well as feedback
from community members such as, “why are you taking them down, it was
such a lovely idea for the community!” and “the pictures are great - so
many budding artists.”
We also received feedback that families were heading out on walks
together to find their kids’ artwork and the artwork of their friends and
family at the same or different schools. It was a great way to get families
to explore the local area, beating boredom and enjoying time together on
yet another lockdown walk. It was also an excellent opportunity for the
children to explore the topic of hope, and some of the artwork displayed
lovely positive messages of positivity, support, hope, and new beginnings.

VOLUNTEER TO SESSIONAL
As a sessional worker, Ronnie’s duties
include planning and delivering sessions,
whether organising a bake-off between the
kids, making a quiz for them, or allowing
them to decide what games they would like
to play.
Ronnie said, “I first got involved with
MADE4U after my little sisters who were
engaging in one of the clubs said they were
looking for volunteers. It was one of those
summer things at the time I didn't really
have anything to do, so I gave it a chance
and ended up staying.”
Ronnie stated, “MADE4U built me up to have a proper role within the
organisation, as opposed to doing a bit or this and a bit of that, and I found that,
that particular age group worked best for me. I enjoyed the environment and
the idea of providing them with an enjoyable day and teaching them new skills.”
Clare McCormack, Project Manager said, “It’s been fabulous to have someone
like Ronnie as part of the team. There’s sometimes in this job that you meet
someone and just know they have what it takes. Ronnie has definitely been on a
journey; learning about himself, what he aspires to be and picking up skills and
confidence along the way.” Clare noted that he brings fun, energy, enthusiasm
and a different perspective. He is always willing to try something new, figure out
how to improve and understand how to make sessions more successful for the
children who attend."
Ronnie said, "To get that amount of
children to enjoy something as much
as they did, those are extremely
successful sessions, in my opinion.”
However, sometimes sessions have
only two or three children turn up
improvisation is an essential skill
when working in the community
field. He has gained many skills
through MADE4U that are
transferable, such as confidence and
the ability to socialise with people of
different age groups and
backgrounds.

With the lockdown in effect, we were not able to carry out in-person youth
work due to the government guidelines, for much of the year in question. With
restrictions still fully in place, my remit changed slightly, which allowed me to
develop more family support and to be able to go out and handle food parcels.
In one example, where a family required assistance, there were cultural
barriers, including very little English. This family was from a different country
and sometimes struggles with spoken English. We used tools such as Google
Translate and written translation methods to communicate and visit regularly.
We were able to help with filling out forms for benefits, visas and school meal
applications as well as with food parcels and practical help like providing
drawers and wardrobes.
One of our methods of engagement with young people was through an online
art and craft video. These were prerecorded by one of our sessional workers, as
"Amber's Corner". Each activity was broken down with a step by step guide,
with the activities aimed at young people. The items that would be used would
be commonplace around a household so parents would not have to buy
anything extra. Then the videos were posted on the MADE4U Facebook page.
As the restrictions lifted slightly I was able to
shift into direct 1-to-1 support and through this,
I had the opportunity to work with two young
people and provide individual focused support
and skills building. During the first few
sessions, both young people were shy and
lacked confidence, finding it very hard to talk to
others. With regular meetings, they both gained
confidence and took part in more activities.
Both had input in the activity boxes with one
also attending the Pumpkin Light Trail to help
out with registration and on walks.

At the height of restrictions, all
shops and gathering places
were closed; young people
were forced into isolation and
were only allowed a few hours
outside per day. MADE4U
responded by developing
activity boxes as a means to
try and stop boredom, by
giving young people different
ideas and activities to do. 100
activity boxes were prepared
and delivered free of charge.
Each pack contained activities that could be done with family or individually such
as bouncy balls and frisbees, as well as various creative items such as
paintbrushes, sponges, markers and colouring pencils. The activity boxes also
came with a booklet, which included colouring pages, word searches, activity
ideas, workout and exercise plans. It also gave links to YouTube videos to look up
as well as a well-being and mindfulness section that had a step-by-step guide on
meditation.
The activity boxes offered families
experiencing disadvantage within ML2, a
sense of purpose and something
different they could do while being
stuck in the house. They provided fun
for the family, no matter their age, as
both parents and children each did the
activities offered within the box,
evidently shown by the positive
feedback received by MADE4U.

It was a great privilege for MADE4U to be awarded £2,500 to support the needs
of people within the community, with up to £100 going to each child. This
funding was awarded through Youth Scotland, who were delivering the Winter
Fund on behalf of the Scottish Government. It was an excellent opportunity to
engage with families in need and offer instant support in items ranging from
hoovers, pots and pans to clothing for children and vouchers for high street
shops to support with school wear and other essentials.
This was a great chance to understand and
tackle the immediate needs and focus on the
young people’s best interests. MADE4U
assisted ten families through the winter
fund and directly improved the living
conditions for 31 children and young people.
The families we engaged with needed extra
support. For example, one family were
moved into supported accommodation by
North Lanarkshire Council but were left
without access to any cooking equipment
other than a microwave and a kettle. Social
workers also ensured they received a cooker
for their home to cook on while MADE4U
provided food vouchers, pots and pans,
clothes and cooking utensils to those most in
need.
Other families had been affected by long lockdowns, multiple periods of
isolation and a higher cost of living. In meeting with the families and
discussing the most pressing needs in their lives, we gained insight into the
struggles people were facing through the lockdown, as result of a perfect
storm.
The funding allowed us to work with the families directly, to identify where
the funding would make the most impact on their material needs, drastically
improving the quality of their everyday lives.
A single father said, “This is incredible and such a big help, you have no idea.
Thanks for everything.”

Working in partnership with Coltness High School, we supported a group of 4
students. These individuals required extra help and assistance or were struggling
to fit in with the current academic learning. This was a core group of young people
S3+ with weekly sessions for 3hours every Friday morning. In the sessions, we
focused on carrying out development and support activities such as:
Healthy eating
Understanding emotions and best reactions
Cooking healthy eating and lifestyles
Awareness of alcohol and drugs
Employability interviews and applications writing
Life choices
Volunteering opportunities
Dealing with challenging situations
Set out a budget for home
Looking into renting
Opening up a bank account
Planning routes to the future
Online Safety
Understanding the community
To begin with, we started with polling the students' hopes and aspirations. This was to
ensure that the work directly benefitted the young people, and the work was co-produced.
The young people also identified topics they would like to work on, meaning the student
took an active role in their own upskilling. An introduction to car maintenance was the first
choice topic. They also chose to get involved in MADE4U centre life and took on some small
volunteering roles such as attending the Pumpkin Light Trail.
The students looked forward to the sessions each week; confidence grew, finding it easier to
ask for help with their own lives. We also worked through an employability section, and
worked individually with each student on their chosen direction, identifying the steps they
would need to take. We worked through a mock application and interview with them which
was hugely beneficial. This helped the young people build up experience and talk through
some common questions. Near the end of this group and the finish date, 2 of the young
people gained employment with a young person stating that this exercise helped instil more
confidence when in the interview.
One of the activities the young people chose to do, was making a movie focusing on bullying
in school. They worked through creating the characters with their own experiences and the
issues they, or those they knew, would be going through. This was entirely directed by the
students, who could take full responsibility in the shape it took. Choosing this topic allowed
us the chance to discuss other social justice issues and the part they can play. Overall, we
feel that the group was of huge benefit, and look forward to continuing this partnership to
support young people who are disengaging from traditional school learning.

Wellbeing is central to the difference we aim to
make in our local community. In early 2020 we set
our sights on making a bigger impact in the
community. As the first lockdown hit us in March
2020 and continued on into July, we were given the
opportunity to help those who were most in need
in the ML2 area.
We quickly responded to community need, and on the first day of lockdown,
launched our community response team, mobilising our small staff team and
keen volunteers to deliver 15,000 leaflets in the first weeks, and gain
viewership of our response by 36,000 on Facebook.
The emergency food provisions MADE4U
introduced were due to a variety of
reasons, including furlough, being paid
off from jobs, zero hours' insecurity,
shielding and isolation, and illness. We
were quick off the mark and were soon
the central agency providing emergency
food to people's doorsteps in the ML2
area. We were picking up direct referrals
from North Lanarkshire Council,
Lanarkshire Community Food and Health
Partnership, other organisations,
concerned individuals and their families.

Our befriending service primarily offers a service to
anyone in the community who may benefit, and aims to
be a listening-ear and unconditional support. Many of
our calls began with referrals for a shielding or
emergency food parcel; however, our service ensures
that we give people the option to receive weekly checkins
or to receive a longer befriending call. A large
number of people have taken MADE4U up on this offer,
not only through this channel, but through direct
referrals, signposting or ever self-referral. Befrienders
offer an all-round service, willing to chat about family,
friends, isolation, health and mental health and much
more.
During the height of the pandemic people were
struggling from all walks of life. While some people
could make ends meet with some help with
shopping or a 3-day parcel, many people were
unable to cook or prepare food for themselves. We
have discovered there are many reasons a low-cost
meal can improve someone's quality of life; they
may not be feeling well either physically or mental,
may be elderly or infirm, or never have learned the
skills. Whatever the reason, our meals aim to meet
that need, offered at "pay as you feel", or £1
suggested donation.
In April 2020, right at the beginning of the pandemic,
people were struggling in all manner of ways. Some
people struggled financially, or with cooking. However,
there was a group of people we identified who were
struggling with fear, isolation and inability to get out and
do their own shopping themselves. MADE4U were happy
to stand in the gap for people, and pick up this service
for those who couldn't shop online or get to the shops
themselves. We built brilliant relationships with people
who chose to use this service, and often were able to
help guide people around budgeting, healthy eating or
other issues. What a privilege to be in people's lives this
way.

Alongside our Christmas Toy Drive, we delivered upwards of 100
adult gift hampers to those we had been supporting throughout
the year, who were going to be on their own, didn't have family
or were otherwise struggling and isolated. Each box was made up
specifically for the person in question, based on what we knew of
them. We included things like toiletries, gloves, hats, socks, wool,
scares and small luxuries like perfume, earphones, candles,
scarves eye shadow pallets, shortbread, photo frames and
chocolates. The gratitude for these simple gifts was
overwhelming; people were incredibly moved by people daring
to think about them, and remember them at such a difficult time
of year.
We were also privileged to send out 250 3-course Christmas
meals to those who were going to be on their own at Christmas,
and for other reasons couldn't cook for themselves. This was so
well received by the local community as well as by family and
friends who were supporting them.
“You know me so well, everything in it was perfect” M, 55
“I was so excited to see what was in it, I stayed up past midnight to see
what was in it” E, 83
Alongside the work highlighted above, there are many other elements of our wellbeing work
in the community that we have been able to deliver. Some examples include our online
Scottish Event, Scottish Meals, Christmas Walks, Nominating and highlighting Community
Legends, Prize Giveaways, Quizzes, and much more.
At MADE4U, as well as our values, we have a set of
standards that we aim to work to. We commit to the
following ways of working:
Partner with other organisations and bodies in order to meet priority social
objectives in the ML2 area
Link with community groups, services and provisions and signposting people
accordingly, to support a wider range of people in the community
Listen to our community to keep up to date with current needs and assets
Build people’s capacity and connections, to allow more opportunities
One of our key youth work partnerships in this year was with the local area Community
Learning and Development team. This was central in us working together to deliver a
transitions group for young people moving from primary 7 to first year, with the
understanding that this would be difficult year due to missing much of Primary 7 and losing
out on much socialisation time. We also partnered to support CL&D's LGBTQ group on the
Thursday evening, giving a vital safe space for young people to discuss key shared issues.
Many other partnerships supported our work throughout the year including with local
businesses, local schools and other community groups. We are thankful for the support
from Coltness High, Pathway Church, Calderbridge, and Cambusnethan North for their
support in the Christmas Activities as well as use of premises. Other partnerships emerged
around food provision, key being VANL and Lanarkshire Community Food and Health
Partnership as well as all those who supported the emergency food provision work,
including social work teams, The Avenue, Tokui Ryu Karate, Pepe's Zambia Football
Foundation, teachers and wider community at Coltness High, RBS at main street, Pizza Hut,
Wishaw Wycombe Wanderers, Cambusnethan North Ladies Group and many more who we
haven't been able to name.

Signposting has always been a key part of our way of operating, however, with the onset of
the pandemic, and huge amounts of people turning to us for help, it became ever most
important. We had to develop links and routes to signpost people for benefit support, social
work and CPN referrals, energy support and advice and more. We also had to co-ordinate
with other agencies and support services in adjacent areas and link in where the support
needed was beyond our expertise. We made over 300 referrals for people to receive further
support beyond the support that was given by MADE4U.
Our response to the pandemic stemmed from listening closely to the needs of the
community around us. We committed to this in a number of ways, firstly in contacting
existing members to understand the need and the struggles that people were facing.
Secondly in ensuring we were in key forums discussing developments and emerging themes
and needs. Thirdly, we reached out further to start to understand how people were coping,
and how the pandemic was affecting them. Our initial reach for the Community Response
Team allowed us to be responsive and meet people's needs as they arose, instead of
turning people away. As the work developed, both in terms of the response team, and
wider, we continually sought feedback from people (community, partners, volunteers and
staff members) to ensure that our offering remained relevant and that work is evaluated
well. This process is the process that underpins all of our work.
We always aim to build capacity in the people who connect with us. In the year in question,
around 20 of our volunteers worked towards their saltire awards, 6 people gained food
hygiene qualifications, 4 people were supported to make more fulfilling life choices and
decide on their future direction. All staff underwent renewal of their safeguarding training,
staff were supported to finish college courses and degrees and start new courses on
leadership. Staff and volunteers underwent training on youth work, understanding Autism
in context, and delivering Hi-5 awards as well as Creative Play for Children. Teachers were
released from their jobs to get involved in the community response and students and
construction workers alike put down their tools to upskill and assist the community.
25
It has been such a privilege to steward MADE4U's growing resources over this past
year, to help the work edge ever towards the bigger strategy and vision and to
work alongside so many people in the community to make a difference.
In the coming year, we aim to continue development of work in the three strands
identified; youth work, wellbeing and kids work. Our hope is to work towards
utilising the Kickstart scheme and recruiting addition Community Job Scotland
worker to assist in the key areas; administration, youth work and kids work. We
hope to work with North Lanarkshire Council again in delivering Club365 in
summer 2021, and to continue to build on key partnerships with schools for
outdoor play and Dynamic youth awards.
Key to the success of the coming year is moving our Wellbeing work to a more
sustainable basis and hopefully recruiting a skilled and passionate development
worker into this area. The staff team should also expand with recruitment of a
Future Pathways worker who will develop and pilot a 10-week mentoring
programme with young people and young adults, growing people's capacity for
gaining employment, future directions and building skills to contribute to their
local community.
It is our hope to continue building on funding and fundraising success by
diversifying income streams, building individual and major giving and employing
the support of Bruce Tait Associates to bring in more unrestricted grant funding to
support the wider work.

AND FUNDRAISING
FINANCE
As can be seen from our Income and Expenditure in the last financial year
(year-end March 2021), MADE4U had a period of hugely improved income as
well as expenditure. This is in direct correlation to the increase of work
that MADE4U was able to undertake in the community as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic, and reflects on the strong strategy and vision set by
the board. The growth rate of our charitable activities in these financial
terms is 67%.
As our income levels were increased, we saw a jump in the variety and
types of donors and funders who chose to support our work. We were
pleased to receive donations from other local community organisations,
such as Pathway Church, Hailey's coaches and others, in order to respond
to the community need, and to deliver vital projects such as the Christmas
Toy Drive.
Larger donations also increased which we were grateful for. Small donations from local community members
totalled 10,198 and the majority of this was for Covid-19 work as well as over 1500 donated by the Coltness
High School community included in this number. £9464 of our donations were directly related to our
shopping assistance project, which relates to a similar level of expenditure in charitable activities.
Similarly, with Grants, we saw increased support in general; most of our support came from funders
wishing to assist organisations with their covid response. Some funding noted here was for use in the
following financial year, and also helps us understand the 'surplus' in the year, which was mostly funding
reserved for work outwith the year we are reporting on. This included a large portion of the Scottish
Government Communities Recovery Fund and. second traunch of the Response, Resilience and Recovery
Funding. It is also worth noting that smaller funds < £1000 were also essential in this financial year, in
helping us purchase equipment, food provisions and other covid essentials. Special thanks go to those
funders who stepped up quickly and offered to fund organisations early in this financial year, often
offering financial support which could be utilised in February and March 2020.
The majority of our expenditure in this financial year
was allocated to Staffing costs and this included our
core team, sessional, CJS and other apprentice staff as
well as some freelance staffing costs. This represented
64% of our charitable activity costs. Operating
Greenfield Drive was our next highest category of
expenditure at 14% of our costs and this included light,
heat, wast as well as over £7000 in rental to North
Lanarkshire Council. Other notable costs were project
costs such as the foodbank (£3832), Toy Drive (£2950),
and the Winter Fund (£2420) as well as shopping costs
(£8916).
It should be noted, also, that both our income and expenditure for previously run projects had virtually
stopped. We expect that the majority of these projects will be relaunched when the restrictions will allow
us to do so and that project income/expenditure of this sort will be represented in future years' accounts.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
MADE4U IN ML2
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out on pages sixteen to thirty one.
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
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

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.
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
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.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over

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
