REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
STRATEGIC REPORT
Achievements and performance Despite a challenging economic and funding environment, SeAscape continued to deliver vital support to individuals and families experiencing housing crisis throughout 2024-25,
Contracted Housing Support Services During the year we supported 755 households across South and East Ayrshire through our contracted Housing Support Services in South and East Ayrshire. Support plans were developed using the Better Futures framework, enabling service users to identify their goals and track progress, leaving our service better equipped to manage and sustain safe, secure accommodation.
Independent Projects and Additional Services I'M IN! Project Delivery continued in partnership with Ayr Housing Aid Centre SCIO, supporting people at risk of homelessness in the private rented sector thanks to continued funding from the Scottish Government alongside a contribution from South and East Ayrshire Councils. During the year the project supported 166 households (East Ayrshire 52 / South Ayrshire 114), successfully preventing or delaying homelessness in 82% of cases closed during the year.
Pass I¢ On Project Our project continued to provide essential houschold goods to people transitioning from homelessness. During the 2024-25 year, we assisted 457 houscholds to furnish their homes using donations received from 1,365 community donors, diverting more than 195 tons of waste from landfill. This reflects the strong local support for the project's objectives and highlights the significant environmental benefit achieved through our reuse and recycling efforts.
Reconnect with Hope (Befriending Project) Funded by the Community Mental Health Fund and Global's Make Some Noise, the project supported people experiencing social isolation to build positive relationships within their local community. The project showed strong eachcommunity week. interaction through a total of 2,008 engagements over the course of the year, an average of 39 engagements
Service User Feedback "Knowing I had someone in my comer supporting me was great, | couldn't have done this on my own"
"My housing support worker was very helpful; she stepped in when everything was going wrong and made it right again" “SeAscape has helped me so much through my time from being in homeless to my own flat" "The support I got from my support worker was superb. She helped from start to finish - from homelessness to settling in, without this support I feel I would not be here to tell the story”
Social Enterprise Development SeAscape's Reuse Furniture Store continued to grow following its September 2023 launch. This year, the enterprise: ~ Increased income supporting our charitable work. - Expanded volunteering opportunities. - Continued to divert waste from landfill and promote reuse across Ayrshire.
Organisational Change and Gevernance During the year, there were several important changes in staffing and governance.
Following the departure of Donna Noy, Karen McKinlay stepped into the role of Acting Housing Support Services Coordinator and assumed the responsibilities of Registered Manager with the Care Inspectorate. In governance, Billy Fisher resigned from his trustee role after five years of service due to personal commitments, during which his expertise significantly shaped ScAscape's Strategy. After the year end, Maureen Wooster also stepped down from the Board owing to personal circumstances; during her two years of service she played a key role in relaunching SeAscape's fundraising activities. The Board extends its sincere thanks to both for their valuable contributions.

SOUTH AYRSHIRE ESCAPE FROM HOMELESSNESS LTD. (REGISTERED NUMBER: SC242218) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 IiS The Board wishes to acknowledge and expresses appreciation for the valuable contribution and service of all trustees, management, and frontline teams. Strategic Development Throughout the year trustees and staff worked together to embed the organisation's 2024-27 Strategic Priorities, reshaping SeAscape's direction in line with the external context and emerging pressures.
Financial review
Financial position SeAscape reported a surplus of £46,605 for the year ended 30 June 2025.
This improved position reflects prudent financial management, increased social enterprise income, and resolution of the financial burden related to unsuitable premises earlier in the year. The Board continues to monitor financial statements regularly and is committed to the stability of SeAscape but is also very aware of the need where necessary to use our reserves to ensure that our services meet the needs of those who require them.
Reserves policy
The aim of the trustees is to strive to maintain sufficient reserves in unrestricted funds to meet its future obligations.
Whilst the current level of reserves are sufficient for the immediate future, it is the trustees! view that it is prudent to ensure that there are sufficient free reserves to provide for financial flexibility over the longer term.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The trustees carefully monitor external risks, including:
-
Loss of major statutory contracts
-
Reduced availability of grant funding
-
Volatile economic conditions affecting donations and trading activity
Material Post-Year-End Event: Loss of the South Ayrshire Council Contract Following the year end, ScAscape received confirmation that it had not been successful in retaining the South Ayrshire Council Housing Support Contract for people aged 26 and over - previously the organisation's largest income source and cornerstone of service delivery.
This represents a significant operational and financial shock, and mitigation has become the organisation's immediate strategic priority.
Shrink and Build Back Strategy
In response, trustees have adopted a Shrink and Build Back Strategy, focusing on: - An orderly, values led downscaling of activity dependent on the lost contract. - Protection of core expertise, team capacity, and organisational infrastructure.
-
Strategic positioning for future commissioning opportunities across Ayrshire and. beyond.
-
Consolidation and strengthening of our Social Enterprise to diversify income.
-
A renewed focus on grants, fundraising and smaller scale commissioned work,
-
Rebuilding financial resilience through disciplined cost control and reserve protection.
Despite this challenge, trustecs remain confident that SeAscape retains the skills, reputation, and adaptability needed to rebuild and thrive.

EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES The trustees (who are also the directors of South Ayrshire Escape From Homelessness Ltd. 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. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 Charities 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, Galbraith Pritchards, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF SOUTH AYRSHIRE ESCAPE FROM HOMELESSNESS LTD. aTTT
TTT
Opinion We have audited the financial statements of South Ayrshire Escape From Homelessness Ltd. (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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 30 June 2025 and of its incoming resources and application ofresources, 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 21 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 draw attention to note | in the financial statements, which indicates that the loss of the South Ayrshire Council Housing Support Contract, may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the trustees’ assessment of the entity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included reviewing the company's forecasts and projections for the next twelve months including assessing the assumptions used.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

SSSSFSSSSSSSSSSSSsFesesesesessessSFe
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.
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:
-
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept 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' remuncration 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 arc responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisficd 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 crror, 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 uscrs taken on the basis of these financial statements,
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 company and the industry in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and, enquiries with management. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.fic.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

SOUTH AYRSHIRE ESCAPE FROM HOMELESSNESS
LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
- 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 2019), Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of freland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON A GOING CONCERN BASIS Since the year end, the company has received contirmation that it has not been successful in retaining the South Ayrshire Council Support Contract for people aged 26 and over. This was previously the company's largest source of income. However, after reviewing the company's forecasts and projection's for at least 12 months after the date of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on the going concern basis of accounting.The Trustees are satisfied that adequate resources will be available through future cash flows to meet liabilities as they fall due.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ trom these estimates,
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
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.
Income from government and other grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and not deferred.
EXPENDITURE

- POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
Following the year end, SeAscape received confirmation that it had not been successful in retaining the South Ayrshire Council Housing Support Contract for people aged 26 and over - previously the organisation's largest income source and cornerstone of service delivery.
This represents a significant operational and financial shock, and mitigation has become the organisation's immediate strategic priority.
Shrink and Build Back Strategy
In response, trustees have adopted a Shrink and Build Back Strategy, focusing on: ~ An orderly, values led downscaling ofactivity dependent on the lost contract. - Protection ofcore expertise, team capacity, and organisational infrastructure. - Strategic positioning for future commissioning opportunities across Ayrshire and beyond. - Consolidation and strengthening of our Social Enterprise to diversify income. ~ A renewed focus on grants, fundraising and smaller scale commissioned work. ~ Rebuilding financial resilience through disciplined cost control and reserve protection.
neededDespitetothis rebuildchallenge, and thrive.trustees remain confident that SeAscape retains the skills, reputation, and adaptability
- ULTIMATE CONTROLLING PARTY
In the opinion ofthe trustees, there is no ultimate controlling party.
