Changes to Personnel Daniel Munday was welcomed to his first Management Committee meeting in January 2026. Administration The Management Committee met five times during the year. The Trustees met on 23rd May 2025 to review and approve the 2CYTrust Annual Report for the previous year. Prayer is an essential part of these meetings. The Trust has a new website which clearly describes and illustrates our work. Our association with SU Scotland not only helps us with the financial administration referred to below, we also rely on line management and training for our worker with expert oversight by Karen Stangoe. The Associate Worker Scheme conference annually in March provides great opportunities for engaging with and leaming from other Associate Trusts in Scotland. Financial Review The beginning of the past financial year was relatively quiet due to there being no Youth worker in place. However we are glad to report that since Daniel Munday's appointment in October our accounts have been busier with payroll, pensions and invoices to pay. We were fortunate to be able to apply for a Scripture Union grant of £5,000 in October to help towards running costs and this was a great boost to our funds just before Daniel joined us. We also received a gift aid payment from HMRC totalling £1.270 which again helped to boost our funds. We were very blessed overthe last yearto receive lump sum payments from some supporters in the area and again these were an answer to prayer. One of the donations helped us to set up our new website. We are grateful to SU for payroll administration and also to their HR department who helped with the recruitment process. With this back-up we are able to make our salary payments each month and also pay HMRC when appropriate.
Clydesdale Christian Youth Trust SU Scotland Charity Registration No SC039824 Income totalled to £11,716, a reduction of £2,710 on £14,426 in the previous year. The principal source of income were donations from individuals totalling to £4,020 and a grant of £5,000 from SU. Expenditure totalled to £10,780, down from £11,805 in the previous year. Employment costs remained our largest outgoing, amounting to £7,439 for the five months from November 2025 to March 2026. A surplus of £936 was recorded for the yearto 31 March 2026 (2025 surplus of £2,621). Reserves Policy Our reserves policy continues to be to hold SLrfficient funds available to provide months, salary and £2,000.00. The amount of the reserves to cover notice, redundancy and other costs will be reviewed annually. At the year-end, the Trust held unrestricted cash funds of £31.587, therefore meeting the reserves policy. Planning ahead - Renewed Vlsion Last yearfs report spoke about the recruitment campaign to find a new part time worker. We interviewed Daniel in September last year after a second round of advertising in July and August. He began working for us part time at the end of October. We were greatly encouraged that Daniel, by the beginning of March 2026, had completed a very positive mid-tenn review of the 6 months training offered by SU Scotland, as well as developing good local relationships with both churches and individuals locally. He has brought with him a vision for the Trust's work. An outcome of Daniel's review was that more can be achieved by a strengthened management team, with income to support increased part time hours for our worker. These are objectives which the Trust will pursue in 2026-27.
