## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **April 2025 - March 2026**
Outside the Box is now in its 21st year of working with communities across Scotland, taking a Human Rights based approach to community led inclusion, action, creativity and learning.
Our current project work is currently focused on the (often overlapping) themes of Equalities and Human Rights, Peer Support for Families, Climate Change and Community Inclusion.
In the year 2025 to 2026 we worked with 37 groups and organisations across 13 Scottish Local Authorities. This worked directly supported approximately 450 people, indirectly supported 850 people and had a wider reach of 3200 people. Our website continues to provide a wide range of shared accessible resources - co-produced with communities over many years – covering a wide range of topics including: Democracy & Elections, Mental Wellbeing, Age Inclusive Communities, Food & Recipes, Climate Change and Starting LGBTIQ+ Families.

## **Highlights of our work this year include:**
· Climate Wisdom – An innovative dementia-inclusive climate action project that brings together people living with dementia, their care partners and their communities to co-create practical, creative and rights-based responses to climate change. The 5-year partnership project is led by Outside the Box, working alongside Meeting Centres Scotland, The Institute for Place, Environment and Society at the University of Heriot-Watt and the Stockholm Environment Institute at the University of York. The project will be delivered across Scotland in collaboration with Meeting Centres – evidencebased social clubs which offer on-going warm and friendly expert support to people with mild to moderate dementia and their care partners. in the first phase of the project we will be working with 18 Meeting Centres across Fife and Angus.
· Moments of Freedom is a community group led by New Scots women in Clydebank. We have been supporting them in their journey to build wider community connections and establish themselves as an independent constituted group.
· The Queer Families project expanded to support the development of new peer-led groups in Glasgow, Dundee and Aberdeen, as well as hosting an event to launch the publication of two new co-produced resources and online sessions to provide support and information for new and planned LGBTIQ+ Families.
· Connecting Equalities – Our work with the Scottish Confederation of Park Home Residents’ Associations (SCOPHRA) supported their transition towards applying for SCIO status through governance development, member engagement, and strategic planning. We also supported the East Renfrewshire Faith Forum to revitalise its work and move towards becoming a SCIO and worked with Weekday WOW Factor to support their project evaluation processes.
· Through active involvement in the Cross-Party Group on Older People and Ageing in the Scottish Parliament and the Older People’s Strategic Action Forum (OPSAF), alongside wider strategic networks, we contributed to a unified voice advocating for the rights and wellbeing of older people in Scotland.
· The IncludeAge project is a 3-year research project, led by Dundee University, focusing on how we can improve the inclusion of middle to older aged people (40+)
with Learning Disabilities and/or people who identify as LGBT+ by learning about their experiences of being included in physical places and online spaces.
In 2025, the work focused on learning from the huge amount of valuable data – from middle to older aged LGBTQ+ people and People with Learning Disabilities, and from all kinds of organisations and professionals involved in shaping how included people feel.
Social Enterprise Activity -
· Wild Strathfillan - We continued with our Community Perceptions: Engagement and Attitudes work for Wild Strathfillan (a project within the Loch Lomond National Park). This consultation has involved working with different demographics to track awareness and impact of this nature and heritage project.
· We were commissioned to carry out a consultation of the services provided by the Employment and Training Unit of Falkirk Council which manages and co-ordinates a wide range of National and Local Employability Support and Training Programmes, engaging with individuals who require additional support in order to obtain, sustain and progress in employment.
More information on the services we provide and the projects we deliver can be found on our website at www.otbds.org
.
## · Developing the Organisation
· Following the retirement of our Chief Executive in July 2025, we have worked with Animate Consultancy and our Board of Trustees to develop an innovative Collaborative Leadership model, based on our previous practice of Self-Managing Teams and Co-operative/Sociocracy structures.
· Through funding from the National Lottery Strengthening Organisations fund we will continue a programme of external consultation, training and ongoing
professional development to provide us with the skills we need to rise to the internal and external challenges being faced by our organisation and the communities we work with.

## **Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Out Of The Box Development Support Limited**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2026 which are set out on pages 9 to 18
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) 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 trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 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 independent examiner’s statement**
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. 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 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 view given by the accounts.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe
## 1. that in any material respect the requirements:
a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and 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.

## **Outside the Box Development Support Limited Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2026**
## **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 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Companies Act 2006.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£).
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the trustees believe to be appropriate for the reasons set out in the Trustee's Report. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
The company considers on an annual basis the judgements that are made by management when applying significant accounting policies that would have the most significant effect on amounts that are recognised in the financial statements. The trustees consider there are no such significant judgements.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, 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.
Page 12 of 18
Docusign Envelope ID: 9146B971-C586-8D6C-8329-CA2E93FDAC18
## **Charitable activities**
Costs of charitable activities are incurred on the charity's core operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.
Computer equipment - 33.33% on cost Motor vehicles - 25% on cost Office equipment - 25% on cost
Fixed assets are included in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment.
No assets with a gross value of less than £100 are capitalised. These items have been treated as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **Impairment of tangible fixed assets**
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. When the carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
## **Stocks**
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
## **Unrestricted funds**
They can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
## **Restricted funds**
They 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.
Page 13 of 18
Docusign Envelope ID: 9146B971-C586-8D6C-8329-CA2E93FDAC18
## **Transfers between funds**
With regard to the use of both restricted and designated funds, the release represents an amount which matches the expenditure incurred in the year in respect of the relevant purpose of each fund. Transfers are made between funds for identified internal transactions such as staff training where funds are moved from unrestricted core income to a designated training fund.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Financial instruments**
The charity only enters into financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable.
Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year. Typically trade debtors or trade creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.
Financial assets measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for evidence of impairment and if found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Cash and cash equivalent includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other financial institutions.
## **Leasing commitments**
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they are incurred over the term of the lease.
## **Pension commitments**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme . The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The amount charged against the Statement of Financial Activities represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.
## **Donated assets**
Donated assets received by the charity are capitalised and recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year they are received.
The basis of valuation is the price the charity estimates it would pay in the open market for goods of equivalent utility.
## **VAT**
The company is not registered for VAT. Expenses are therefore shown inclusive of VAT in the financial statements.
