Outcomes and Impact
-
Our work during 2025-2026 has had a transformative impact. Children and Young People have: - Built confidence and self-esteem.
-
Developed social skills, making new friends and sustaining positive relationships.
-
Adopted active leadership roles in group activities, supporting and encouraging peers.
-
Experienced improved emotional wellbeing through play and therapeutic opportunities.
Many Children and Young People had no previous engagement with our Project’s services. Many had extremely limited or no opportunities at all prior to engaging. By providing a safe, inclusive and wide-ranging play experiences, we have enabled them to experience new things, grow in confidence, resilience and aspiration.
Charitable Activities
Throughout the past year, the Project has successfully assisted Children and Young People in learning new skills and abilities, achieve increased confidence and self-esteem, develop and increase social skills by building new friendships with others. Many can confidently make informed choices about what they like to do, what new things they would like to try or take part in at the playground.
We successfully offered a wide range of new experiences which were informed by Children and Young People’s own choices.
Many Children and Young People can now actively take the lead in their own play or activity without the need of Playworker or adult intervention. Many are demonstrating strong leadership and decision-making abilities particularly in large group activity settings. Many Young People have adopted peer support roles by assisting and supporting younger children in activities whilst at the playground.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity generated a net surplus of £6,577 for the year ended 31 March 2026 (2025: deficit of £41,958).
At 31 March 2026, total reserves stood at £115,054 (2025: £108,477), with £74,295 of these being unrestricted general reserves (2025: £55,985), £28,834 being designated funds (2025: £40,368) and £11,925 being restricted reserves (2025: £12,124).
Reserves policy
It is the intention of the trustees to maintain free reserves which are sufficient to cover at least three months core running costs i.e. three months staff remuneration and overheads should be held. The aim of the policy is to help achieve a level of financial stability and also to demonstrate RAPA's commitment to good financial management and accountability.
For the year ended 31 March 2026, three months core running costs equalled £61,820. At 31 March 2026, unrestricted free reserves stood at £74,295, therefore the board are satisfied that this policy is being met.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Reidvale Adventure Play Association Limited
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026 set out on pages seven to eighteen.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
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 (as amended). 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 2026
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General information
Reidvale Adventure Play Association Ltd ("the charity") is a Scottish company limited by guarantee and governed by its articles of association. It was registered as a charity in Scotland (registered number SC033876) on 11 December 2002. Its registered address is 62 Garfield Street, Dennistoun, Glasgow, G31 1DW.
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, 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 Ireland' and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
The financial statements are prepared on an accruals basis, and on a going concern basis, in accordance with: - the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005;
-
Regulation 8 (Statement of account - Fully accrued accounts) of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006; - the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, published in March 2018 ("FRS 102"), to the extent that it applies to small entities and public benefit entities;
-
'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, published in October 2019 (FRS 102)' ("the Charities SORP");
-
UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
the historical cost convention.
The charity 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.
The financial statements are presented in UK sterling, which is the charity's functional currency, and rounded to the nearest pound.
There have been no changes to the basis of preparation this financial year or to the previous financial year's financial statements.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
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.
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.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Tangible fixed assets
All assets costing more than £250 are capitalised and valued at historic cost. Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful life as follows:
Play Centre - 20% on cost
All assets currently held within equipment have a £nil net book value.
Taxation
Reidvale Adventure Play Association Limited is a charity within the meaning of Section 467 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 of Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied for charitable purposes only.
Fund accounting

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.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

The contributions paid by the charity, as employer and by the relevant staff, are prescribed by the managers of the fund under the statutory provisions under which the scheme operates. The charity has no discretion to vary the rates of its contributions and therefore the pension scheme is treated as a defined contribution scheme as permitted by FRS 17. the pension costs charged in the financial statements in respect of this scheme represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
Financial instruments
The charity has financial assets and financial liabilities that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
