Achlevement8 & Perforniance
2024-25 was a busy year with a number of projects underway and, moving forwards, the
constant Se￿Ch for funding. Demand for our services remain high and we are consistently
exceeding project targets.
A grant aW￿d from Integrated Care Fund 2024-20261£84,8741 will extend over 2 years to
June 2026, and compliment our work with Impact Fundlng Partners to deliver Actsvity Cafes in
our rural community, combatting Soci81 Isolation and Loneliness. To date we have
accommodated 180 local people.
Following an award from VASLAN Communlty Mental Health & Wellbelng Fund12023-241. we
developcd several support stands within our community including (il health workshops with
NHS Lanarkshire, lill befriending and IT support 8J]d liiil volunteering for Community Gardening.
This accommodated 96 local people. We also achieved the Volunteer Frlendly Award from
Volunteer Scotland as testimony to our commitment to Volunteers. Funding from VASLAN & UK
Prosperlty Fund facilitated delivery of Work Club services, supporting 9 1 local people. Targeting
Digital Exclusion, we received funding from The Good Thlng8 Foundotlon1£84001 to pilut
delivery of IT Support Hubs from various locations in NorLh Clydesdale. This pilot led to a
successful application to VASLAN Communlty Mental Health and Wellbelng Fund1£199891 to
secure delivery until March 2026. An award from South Lanarkshlre Charltabl¢ Trust {£780)
supported delivery of our Warm Welcome Space in 2024-2025.
With respect to sustainability, some funders have Moved towards retrospective funding, where
FCRCSG is required to hold reserves to fund project work and then claim monies back at inlervals
from grant awarding bodies. Income gener¢iled will therefore be d¢&*ignated against core running
CQ8Ls and future project work in 2025-20261£85,6001, giving us a mcasure of sustainability and
the rne￿S to continue supporting delivery into our community.

the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from
the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the
evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion
on the accounts.
