Recruitment and appointment of trustees

All Trustees are appointed by the current Board as vacancies become available or skills gaps are identified. Each person who wants to become a Trustee is asked to write to us with their CV and they are asked to appear before the Board if they have a suitable skillset. They are then proposed and seconded and a vote of all Trustees is carried out. Chair, Vice Chair, and Treasurer appointments are made and confirmed at Board meetings and are confirmed annually.

Specific appointments, as at 31 March 2021, are as follows: Chair – Vice Chair – Treasurer –

Governing Document

The Charity is an unincorporated association and the purposes and administration arrangements are set out in our Trust Document. The Charity applied for SCIO status and this was registered on the 27th July 2020. Due to Covid impacts we have been unable to open bank accounts for the SCIO to date to allow the transfer of assets but this will be done at the earliest opportunity in our next trading year.

Charitable purpose

To advance education, promote the welfare, relieve poverty or financial hardship or otherwise relieve the needs of children of West Lothian and its environs, by the provision of equipment and support to local groups and individuals which the law regards as charitable.

Changes within River Kids

SCIO:

On 27 July 2020, River Kids successfully applied to move from an unincorporated association to a incorporated association by setting up a new charity, River Kids SCIO (Charity Number SC050325). Enhancements have been made to the Charitable Purpose (set out below) which aligns to River Kids’ strategic objectives and new mission statement; this is a massive achievement for River Kids and will assist in the growth strategy for which we are undertaking.

New Charitable Purposes:

  1. The prevention or relief of poverty;

  2. The advancement of education;

  3. The advancement of citizenship or community development;

  4. The provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended; and

  5. The relief of those in need by the reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.

Whilst the new charity has been set up, the impact of Covid-19 has hindered the Charity’s ability to move from River Kids to River Kids SCIO, however, preparations are ongoing, and it is hoped that during the new financial year all aspects will move over to River Kids SCIO. Fundamentally our supporters will see no changes to the day-to-day operations of River Kids.

Modernisation:

As part of the Charity’s modernisation, we moved to purchase an iZettle machine in order to address the ever-growing use of cards (both credit and debit) in the UK, to purchase items. It has been clear this change has been positive for the Charity with the first use of the iZettle machine bringing in over £2,000 in its first weekend of operation.

Other changes seen within the Charity include moving away from reliance on JustGiving for fundraising and bringing in new tools such as Facebook Donate (ability to accept donations directly from posts within Facebook/fundraising by supporters), GoCardless (ability to take monthly Direct Debit payments), Amazon Smile (small contributions from Amazon for day-to-day purchases) and Amazon Wish List (allowing the Charity to target much needed toys/goods).

The Amazon Wish List proved wholly beneficial during the 2020 West Lothian Toy Appeal and allowed the Charity to receive donations while staying compliant with the ongoing rules and regulations associated with the pandemic.

We will continue to look at ways to modernise River Kids whilst we grow the Charity.

Activities and Achievements

Due to external matters, well beyond the control of the Charity (outlined below in ‘Issues Encountered during the year’), the Charity was unable to undertake many notable activities in the financial year – the key one being 2 Toy Sales towards the latter part of 2020. Events are starting to be planned for the new financial year; however, we remain cognisant of the ongoing pandemic and will need to be ready and willing to adjust our plans. The key success will be to ensure the Charity’s profile continues to be raised while bringing in much needed funds.

We were delighted to be approached by (Professional Golfer from West Lothian) who wished to raise funds for River Kids via an auction. The proceeds of the auction were split between River Kids and Aberlour Trust, with each receiving £14,710 however, due to an administrative error the funds were not credited to our account until after this financial year and will

Page 2

be reflected within next year’s accounts. December also saw our highest donations received with nearly £12k coming in from various donors including £2,500 from Phoenix Drilling Ltd (a local West Lothian business).

Against all odds, December 2020 saw the Charity deliver another West Lothian Toy Appeal. In 2019 toys were delivered to c1,300 local children, with 2020 seeing this number surpass 2,000 children being supported. It is clear the pandemic has had a knock-on effect to the families of West Lothian and showed our services were much needed during this critical time. We provided each child with a bag of toys to help make their Christmas special. We had to make a number of adjustments to deliver the Toy Appeal, including arranging for the referrers to collect their respective packages at pre-arranged times (to remain Covid compliant). What was noted during this year’s appeal was the speed and ease in which the Charity was able to pull together over 2,000 packages and we will look to continue with a collection-only service.

The Charity looks to support candidates from Enable to gain work experience and provides them a route into full-time employment; during the financial year, both employees from Enable finished their respective contracts with River Kids and due to the ongoing pandemic we have been unable to seek any further employees at this time. We will, however, look to support appropriate candidates during the next financial year.

We are, as always, very grateful to all the donors and companies that have supported us, without whom River Kids would not be able to deliver what it does.

Issues Encountered during the year

Once again, it is with regret that we report that the Charity encountered a number of exceptional situations during the year which have again impacted the performance of the Charity:

Page 3

large to the donations towards the latter end of 2020. A key priority for 2021 will be for the Charity to quickly establish avenues for fresh funds coming in to secure the Charity’s longterm viability and continuous support to the community.

Trustee remuneration and expenses

It is not our normal policy to provide expenses to Trustees; however, in the running of the charity it is sometimes a requirement that items are purchased and later claimed back. The following expenses were paid to Trustees in the year to March 2021:

Reserves

The Charity held restricted funds of £2,228 and unrestricted funds of £62,561 as at 31 March 2021.

Approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf.
