## **DEAN ORPHANAGE & CAUVINS TRUST**
## **Report of the Governors**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2025**
The Governors (listed on page 4) have pleasure in presenting their report for the year ended 31 March 2025. This report is prepared in accordance with the constitution and the recommendations of Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102) Accounting and Reporting by Charities and complies with applicable law.
## **Objective and Activities**
The objective and aim of the Trust is to provide residential care for young people not exceeding 21 years of age, who are in need of care, are living in deprived circumstances or otherwise require assistance to living independent lives. There have been no changes to activities since the last annual report.
The short-term aim is to provide a safe, secure, nurturing environment that supports young people settling into the care environment. The longer-term aim is to provide emotional, practical support and guidance to enable young people to develop the necessary skills to support them reach their full potential and move on to positive destinations.
Strategically, to meet the objective and aims, as set out above, the Trust operates two residential properties. Chestnut Wynd is a home for young people up to the age of 21. It also operates Cauvin, which provides accommodation for young people and their babies, aged 15 to 21, who require support to develop positive parenting skills. The Trust has unannounced inspections from the Care Inspectorate at least annually to ensure compliance with care standards and that the objectives of the service provided are met. The Trust has a robust recruitment selection in place ensuring all relevant staff have the appropriate qualifications, skills and are able to meet the requirements of registration with the Scottish Social Services Council.
The principal activity of the Trust during the year continued to be the provision of residential care for young persons not exceeding 21 Supporting this is the Community & Transition service for those up to 26 years of age living independently. Alongside these services is the teenage Fostering service, which is also registered as a Continuing Care service, allowing foster placements to continue once the young person has turned 18 years of age.
## **Achievements and Performance**
The Trust measures their performance by way of a client management system that provides detailed reports of how the objectives are being met. The Trust is also required to input all information of performance into Edinburgh common client outcomes that produce a quarterly report detailing how we have met our objectives for our service.
Young people and staff successfully moved into Chestnut Wynd in September 2024 and have settled in well into our new home. The sale of the vacated property at Portland Street is being progressed, the proceeds of which will be rereserves. The transition flats the Trust leases continue to provide opportunities to support young people as they transition to independent living. The unique setting of Cauvin continues to provide exceptional support to young mums, their babies and their wider families. Further work is being planned to renovate the kitchen at the property. The Community & Transition service has been very busy in the community, providing weekly drop-in sessions at our wellbeing hub, . They continue to provide a food and clothes bank, and work with other agencies to provide the best supports for young people on an individual basis. Fostering saw three young people leave their placements in the year, but also new carers recruited and an increase in our ability to provide short breaks. Two activity trips took place for our fostered young people which were a great success, and we look forward to replicating this in the future.
The Trust has come to the end of its three-year business plan and is currently engaged in planning a new strategy and business plan for the next three to five years with engagement from all areas (the Board, staff and young people).
## **Risks and Uncertainties**
Funding for core services will always be the biggest challenge facing the Trust. However, we have a long term established relationship with City of Edinburgh Council and work closely with them in providing services to young people in the city of Edinburgh. We have the relevant skills and experience in place to enable us to apply for funding from various stakeholders. This has been very successful over the last number of years and we do not envisage this changing. The Trust has invested in a new building at Chestnut Wynd to replace its property at Portland Street. Chestnut Wynd was finally completed and handed over to the Trust on 31 July 2024. The funds used for this are effectively being invested in a property asset. The Trust will benefit from the eventual sale of the property at Portland Street.

## **DEAN ORPHANAGE & CAUVINS TRUST**
## **Report of the Governors**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2025**
The Trust has an up-to-date risk register which is reviewed bi-annually at Board level. The risk register considers all financial, operational and external risks that potentially could pose difficulties for the Trust. All risks are discussed and actions to mitigate these risks are agreed.
Financial risks include loss of key funding and the pension liability. The Trust was under the _Residential Care for Young People_ contract with the City of Edinburgh Council which ended 31 March 2025. The Trust successfully completed a tender to join the _Framework Agreement for Residential Care and Special Schools_ with the City of Edinburgh Council which commenced from 1 April 2025 and will run for four years. Within this, the council have block purchased the beds at Chestnut Wynd for two years to 31 March 2027, and the beds at Cauvin for one year to 31 March 2026. At the 31 May 2018 the Trust exited the Lothian Pension Fund scheme and on 2 December 2019 signed an agreement to repay the outstanding liability on an interest-free basis over 20 years. At 31 March 2025 63 months of payments had been made.
The Trust prepares budgets annually, using these to monitor actual results, and have external secretaries and treasurers who work with the Corporate Services Manager to review all aspects of the Trust s finances.
The main operational risk is loss of staff. The Trust has a bank of temporary staff that operate on an on-call system providing 24/7 emergency cover for unexpected absences. The Trust also has succession plans in place for key staff and all employees also have the opportunity for training and development.
The main external risk is failure of, or requirements resulting from, regulatory inspections. The Trust has regular contact with its regulatory body that provide advice in the maintenance of internal quality assurance systems for each service area. The Trust also has adequate public liability insurance in place, and this is reviewed annually to ensure appropriate levels of cover are maintained.
## **Financial Review**
The Trust recorded net income for the year of £479,261 (2024: net income £83,538), after adjustments for realised gains and losses on investments.
Investments held at the year-end amounting to £691,252 (2024: £702,037) have been acquired in accordance with the Constitution. The investment objective is a balance between capital and income with the emphasis on income. The Trust adopts a medium risk profile and have opted to restrict investment in the tobacco, defence and fossil fuel sectors.
The Governors confirm that on a fund by fund basis, the assets are available and adequate to fulfil the obligations of the charity.
The main funding body during the year was the City of Edinburgh Council who provided a grant to be used for the provision of accommodation for young people.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Governors have established a policy whereby the General Funds, including pension reserve, not committed or invested in fixed assets should be at least one month of the minimum resources required which amounts to £83,000. At the year end the General Fund amounted to £83,000.
Designated funds include a capital fund amounting to £2,179,493 (2024: £1,679,979) which exists to fund fixed assets, including investments, held to ensure the continued fulfilment of the objectives of the Trust. Other designated funds of £8,967 (2024: £18,166) bring the total designated funds at the year end to £2,188,460 (2024: £1,698,145). More detail about the funds can be found in note 13.
Restricted funds at the year-end were £96,439 (2024: £107,493). Detail of these funds can be found in note 13.
consistent with good practice in terms of social, managed on a discretionary basis with a medium risk profile and an investment aim of maximising income and the overall rate of return. The Governors have been satisfied with the performance of the investments against the stated policy.

The balance of the liability at 31 March 2025 was £444,063 (on a net present value basis).
## **Plans for Future Periods**

with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the Governors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Governors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102);
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Governors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements, comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006
The Governors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT TO THE GOVERNORS OF DEAN ORPHANAGE & CAUVINS TRUST** |
## **Opinion**
March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the tru st’s affairs as at 31 March 202 5, 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 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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the trust 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 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**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the governors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the trust’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the governors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The governors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the governors’ report and financial statements, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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.

## **DEAN ORPHANAGE & CAUVINS TRUST** INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE GOVERNORS OF C T e&
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- report; or
- proper accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of governors**
preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the governors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the governors either intend to liquidate the trust or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with regulations made under that Act.
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 an auditor's report 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the trust and the industry in which it operates and considered the risks of acts by the trust which were contrary to appliable laws and regulations, included fraud. These included but were not limited to Scottish charity legislation, care inspectorate regulations, health & safety, and employment legislation.
We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements. Our tests included, but were not limited to:
- enquiries of management about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
- Reading available correspondence with solicitors and regulators including the care inspectorate, Health & Safety Executive and OSCR;
- review of minutes of Board meetings; and
- auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness; and
- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to useful lives of fixed assets and valuation of properties.

## **DEAN ORPHANAGE & CAUVINS TRUST**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **1. Accounting Policies**
## **Basis of accounting**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 as issued by the Financial Reporting Council, the Statement of Recomme Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 2005, and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
transactions are denominated.
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Governors to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates. Actual outcomes in the future could differ from such estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
The Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Governors have assessed the , and have reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
## **Funds**
Restricted funds are those which have been given to the charity for use in accordance with the wishes of the donors, commonly for use in relation to a specific service.
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Governors. In order to ensure that funds are available for specific projects, certain funds are set aside and designated by the Governors into separate funds.
## **Income**
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Trust is entitled to the income, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy, and receipt is probable. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income.
## **Maintenance fees**
Maintenance fees are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year to which they relate.
## **Grants**
Grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year to which they relate.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements continued**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **1. Accounting Policies (continued)**
## **Legacies**
Legacies are accounted for when receivable and if received free of restrictions as to their use, are credited to funds as determined by the Governors.
## **Rental income**
Rental income is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
## **Fixed assets**
The Governors are of the opinion that heritable properties have a residual value in excess of cost and estimated useful lives substantially in excess of fifty years. Sufficient maintenance is carried out to maintain the standard of the buildings. On this basis the Governors are of the opinion that the depreciation charge would be immaterial. The values of the buildings are reviewed annually for indication of impairment. The exception to this is the Caravan which is depreciated as stated below.
In respect of other fixed assets, depreciation is provided in the year in which the fixed assets are purchased. The rate of depreciation is calculated so as to write-off the cost less residual value of each asset evenly over its expected useful life as follows:
- Computer equipment 5 years
- Fixtures and fittings 5 years
- Caravan ~~5~~ years
Items under £1,000 are not capitalised.
## **Investment property**
In accordance with the charity SORP:
- (i) Investment properties are revalued annually by the Governors and the aggregate unrealised gain/loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in unrestricted reserves.
- (ii) No depreciation or amortisation is provided in respect of investment properties.
## **Investments**
Investments are included at fair value, which is considered to be market value. All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening carrying value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair values at the year end and their carrying value. Restricted and unrestricted investment gains are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Income from investments is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Pensions**
Qualifying staff are members of the Scottish Charities Pension Scheme.
The Scottish Charities Pension Scheme is a defined contribution scheme, contributions to this scheme are charged to the Income and Expenditure account in the year in which they are incurred.

## **DEAN ORPHANAGE & CAUVINS TRUST**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements continued**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **1. Accounting Policies (continued)**
## **Taxation**
The Trust is a charity and is recognised as such by HM Revenue & Customs for taxation purposes. As a result there is no liability to taxation on any of its charitable income
## **VAT**
The Trust is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure includes VAT where appropriate.
## **Expenditure allocation**
Where possible, expenditure has been charged direct to charitable expenditure or governance costs. Where this is not possible the expenditure has been allocated on the basis of time spent by staff on each activity. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of the objects of the charity and are charged within the appropriate overhead together with direct charitable expenditure.
- Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.
- Raising funds includes all costs associated with generating incoming resources from all sources other than from undertaking charitable activities.
- Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
## **Operating leases**
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
## **Donated services and facilities**
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified.
## **Financial instruments**
The Trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments other than investments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

## **3. Critical judgements and estimates**
In preparing the financial statements the Governors make estimates and assumptions which affect reported results, financial position and disclosure of contingencies. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of the estimates, together with past experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates.
Critical judgements are made in the application of income recognition, property valuation and useful lives of tangible fixed assets.

The loan granted by The City of Edinburgh Council as the administering authority of Lothian Pension Fund, is Willowbrae Road.
Assets held for sale compose of the property at 41 Portland Street which is a transfer from tangible assets.
## **Portraits**
The Trust also owns two portraits of persons connected with the early history of the Trust. No value has been attributed to the portraits in these financial statements as the historic cost is not available and the Governors consider the cost involved in obtaining an accurate valuation outweighs the benefit of obtaining such a valuation. The two portraits are not thought to have any significant value.

All investments are carried at their fair value. Investments in equities and fixed securities are all traded in quoted public markets, primarily the London Stock Exchange. Holdings in common investment funds, unit trusts and open-ended investment companies are at the bid price. The basis of fair value for quoted investments is equivalent to the market value, using the bid price. Asset sales and purchases are recognised at the date of trade at cost (that is their transaction value).
The investments are mainly traded in markets with good liquidity and high trading volumes. The Trust has no material investment holdings in markets subject to exchange controls or trading restrictions.
The Trust manages these investment risks by retaining expert advisors and operating an investment policy that provides for a high degree of diversification of holdings within investment asset classes that are quoted on recognised stock exchanges.
