The Trustees present the annual report and accounts for get2gether for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Reference and administrative information

Charity name: get2gether Charity registration number: SC043027 Principal address: Website: Bankers: Co-operative Bank PO Box 101 1 Balloon Street Manchester M60 4EP

Constitution, governance and management

The Charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) established on 22 March 2012 and registered under charity number SC043027. The responsibility for the strategic and operational management of the Charity rests with the Trustees who form the Board of Trustees who meet six times per year plus additional ad hoc planning or strategy days.

The Trustees who served during the year were as follows:

Recruiting and appointing new trustees is done through advertising the role through goodmoves and our professional networks. New trustees are invited to join the Board following careful consideration of their skills and willingness to align with get2gether’s aims and ethos.

The constitution requires a minimum of four and a maximum of nine Trustees. It is a requirement that all trustees retire from office at the AGM but may be reappointed or re-elected. No trustee may serve as an employee of the organisation.

get2gether’s AGM is open to all members and interested parties; the Chair provides an overview of the activities of the previous year and the Treasurer gives an annual financial report. High attendance from the membership demonstrates a highly engaged membership that is keen to develop the organisation.

Objectives and activities

get2gether was set up in 2013 to combat loneliness and social isolation amongst the service users of the four founding organisations: Garvald Edinburgh, Thistle Foundation, Freespace and Elcap. Although lives had improved immeasurably since the closure of long-stay institutions, adults with disabilities desperately needed friends and opportunities to develop relationships. get2gether sought to address this issue through a series of social events in ordinary places.

Objectives and activities (continued)

Today, get2gether has a growing membership of over 1,200 adults with disabilities, primarily from Edinburgh and the Lothians. We are a member-led organisation, and our membership is free and open to all adults with a disability (18+).

get2gether’s aims are to:

Achievements and performance

Key highlights of get2gether’s achievements in 2024/25:

1. Delivering a Hybrid Programme of Activities

We continued to deliver an engaging programme of both in-person and online events. In this period, 185 events were tailored to meet the diverse needs of our members. This hybrid approach has increased accessibility and enabled wider participation across the get2gether community.

1.1 Nurturing Connections: Strengthening Community Bonds through Events and Community Magazine

From 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025, our team delivered a total of 185 social events and marked a cumulative of 2390 unique attendances. We had an average of 13 members attending each event.

These events were the combination of:

These events continue to provide a safe space and an incredibly meaningful opportunity where members can connect, learn, explore, and truly thrive.

Our events aren't just about fun activities; they're lifelines for many, offering vital connections beyond their usual social circles. Through get2gether events, our members gain confidence and a sense of belonging; many report leading vibrant social lives as a result of connections they have made at get2gether.

Achievements and performance (continued)

1. Delivering a Hybrid Programme of Activities (continued)

1.1 Nurturing Connections: Strengthening Community Bonds through Events and Community Magazine (continued)

We continued delivering 12 Monthly Community Magazines to all 1,211 get2gether members, either by post or email. Community Magazines feature information about events, members as cover models, easyread articles on building healthy relationships, and uplifting personal stories from our Ambassadors. This ensures the publication is not only informative but also engaging and inspiring. Members tell us they eagerly anticipate its arrival, telling us that receiving the Magazine through the post is their favourite part of the month.

We delivered 5 courses aimed at Building Healthy Relationships (BHR):

The BHR project involves promoting and nurturing positive adult relationships among our members and aims to increase members’ emotional resilience and self-determination. The courses are co-delivered by get2gether’s Peer Mentors, who are all adults with lived experience of a disability.

2. Engagement and Support

Our dedicated staff team provided personalised support through both in-person and online group activities, fostering a strong sense of belonging and empowerment. During this period, we worked closely with 386 members .

As a membership-led organisation, we maintained a strong focus on member involvement through our Members' Steering Group. Hybrid meetings ensured inclusive, accessible decision-making. In 2024/25, members continued to actively shape our operational plan - 45 members actively took part in the steering committee.

3. Membership Growth

By the end of March 2025, get2gether had 1,211 registered members . We have received 140 new membership requests during this period, reflecting sustained interest and growing demand for our activities.

4. Employment Opportunities

In alignment with our inclusive operational model, get2gether employed 4 adults with lived experience of disabilities as Ambassadors, DJs, and Peer Mentors. These roles have been instrumental in creating opportunities for social engagement, skill development, and personal growth among our members.

5. Supporting members with rising costs

We continued to address the cost of living crisis by making Big Nights Out “pay what you can” voluntary entry contributions. We included a range of free or affordable social events through our monthly programme - from a free Dance Class at Dance Base to ‘Make your Pizza’ at Space Broomhouse.

Our team also facilitated monthly community skillshares that fostered peer-to-peer learning. Skillshares addressed topics such as ‘Digital Money Skills’, ‘Using Lothian Bus App’, ‘Preparing for Winter’ and ‘Christmas Bargain Hunters’.

get2gether’s impact

Feedback from our members shows that get2gether continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of adults with disabilities, supporting them in making new connections, growing in confidence, and contributing to their overall wellbeing.

In our ‘Membership Wellbeing Survey’ (February 2025), responders confirmed:

Our impact continues to reach far beyond our immediate community of beneficiaries. We remain committed to sharing our innovative approach with an even broader network of stakeholders. We are pleased to share that:

Our collaboration with Edinburgh Napier Universit y has continued to grow through a groundbreaking and inclusive academic partnership. Building on previous successes, we have co-created a book on human rights called ‘ Our Rights, Our Community ’, with get2gether members actively contributing with their lived experiences and personal stories. This project places our members’ voices at the heart of human rights discourse, creating a resource that will not only educate but inspire meaningful change in how society views and supports people with (learning) disabilities.

Our ongoing partnership with Napier University highlights the power of inclusive partnership and ensures that the voices of people with (learning) disabilities are represented in academia. The book will also serve as a vital resource for raising awareness and affirming the human rights of adults with (learning) disabilities.

Our partnerships with Dynamic Earth and Change Therapy reached an exciting new milestone with the event ‘ Relax in Space ’ — a unique stargazing event held in the Dynamic Earth planetarium. The stargazing was accompanied by a harp player, and combined with guided mindfulness exercises led by from Change Therapy.

This experience of mindfulness relaxation as an immersive astronomical journey offered a calming and awe-inspiring space for relaxation. The event was open to the wider community and was offered free of charge. The event was a great success, with 33 attendees from 3 different organisations; 17 of the attendees were get2gether members. This collaboration showcased the power of creative partnerships as well as demonstrated how inclusive wellbeing activities can be shared beyond get2gether’s core membership.

Piloting ‘Learning to date’ workshop, delivered as a new partnership with a new mainstream venue, Leith Depot.

In 2024/25, our new partnership with Leith Depot led to the successful launch of a new pilot workshop: ‘ Learning to Date ’. This innovative community date night was designed to help get2gether members practise dating skills in a real-world setting. This engaging experience served as both a practical introduction to dating in a mainstream venue and a gentle way to encourage members to become more comfortable in public social settings.

As part of the session, we introduced the Ask for Angela campaign—a discreet initiative used in bars and public venues across the UK. If someone feels unsafe or uncomfortable on a date or in any social situation, they can go to the bar and “ask for Angela,” prompting staff to offer assistance or help them leave safely. Introducing this campaign helped members understand how to seek support if needed, reinforcing the importance of safety, self-advocacy, and knowing their rights in public social spaces.

This pilot was a resounding success, with members also seen by the public, marking an exciting step toward more inclusive nightlife and relationship education for adults with disabilities.

Plans for the future

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a steady rise in event attendance, growing interest from our members in activities that support healthy relationships, and a continued influx of new membership requests — all while operating within the same staffing capacity.

As we move into 2025/26, our focus is on sustaining, delivering, and further developing the support we provide to our members. We remain committed to creating a safe and inclusive community where adults with disabilities can not only participate but actively shape and influence what get2gether does. Our goal is to build on this strong foundation, ensuring our work remains responsive, relevant, and rooted in members' lived experiences.

Financial review

Principal sources of funding

Our work in 2024/25 has been made possible thanks to the generous support of grants and donations, which remain our primary sources of income. We are deeply grateful to the trusts and foundations that have invested in our core work. Our engaging programme could not have happened without their continued belief in what we do.

Change to the basis of accounting

The accounts have been restated from the Receipts and Payments basis (cash accounting) to the Accruals basis (compliant with FRS102 and the related SORP) due to the increased income of the charity this year. The comparative figures for 2024 have been restated on this basis too, with note 16 listing the adjustments made to them from the previously published accounts.

Results for the year

The Accounts for the year are set out on pages 8 to 16. The Statement of Financial Activities on page 8 shows a surplus of £52,406 (2024: deficit of £24,104), comprising a surplus on general funds after transfers of £16,382 (2024: deficit of £5,592), a deficit on designated funds after transfers of £255,476 (2024: deficit of £886) and a surplus on restricted funds after transfers of £291,500 (2024: deficit of £17,626).

Reserves

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds of three months operating costs. The general funds at 31 March 2025 amounted to £98,098 which meets this level.

Donated facilities and services

We are grateful for the generous donations of supporters’ time and services, including Thistle Foundation for the payroll services, Inspiring Scotland Specialist Volunteer Network for advice and information, for hosting our website from Change Therapy for hosting mindfulness workshops and walks, Dynamic Earth for generously welcoming our members, Wallyford Miners Welfare Society for providing venue and buffet at our Karaoke Discos in East Lothian, Hibernian Football Supporters Club for providing venue for our Valentine’s Big Night Out, Leith Depot for their function room, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh for the use of their Botanic Cottage and free tickets to Lights at the Botanics, City Art Centre for free tickets, Fringe Community Initiative for free tickets, National Galleries for access to their spaces. for his guidance and support on our Kiltwalk fundraiser comms campaign.

We would also like to acknowledge and thank local businesses for donating their goods for the raffle prizes at our events - Lush, Platform 5, Moonwake Breweries, Port of Leith Distillery, Skye Candles and Unique Assembly for Winter Wonderland tickets.

Statement on risk

The Trustees of get2gether recognise their responsibility to identify, assess, and manage the risks to which get2gether may be exposed. They are committed to ensuring that appropriate systems and internal controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud, error, and other potential threats to the charity’s operations and reputation.

The Trustees have reviewed key risks and are satisfied that proportionate and effective procedures have been implemented to mitigate their impact. This risk management approach supports the continued delivery of get2gether’s work in an accountable and sustainable way.

Statement of responsibilities of the Trustees

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its income and expenditure for that year.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable the Trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The Trustees are also responsible for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the Charity’s assets and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 8 to 16.

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 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 Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). 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 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

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended), and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended)

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025

1. Accounting policies

Accounting convention

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, and in compliance with the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

get2gether meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Basis of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis for the first time this year and the comparatives have been restated to the same basis. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties so the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Income and debtors

All income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to the income, 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.

Debtors are valued at cost at the year-end and adjusted for any amounts considered to be irrecoverable.

Expenditure and creditors

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.

Creditors are valued at cost at the year-end and split between amounts due in less than one year and amounts due in more than one year.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

The Phoenix Youth Club building was donated to the charity and was brought into the accounts at its valuation at the date of the gift. This building has now been sold this year at this valuation price.

Investments

Investments are in sterling denominated money-market deposits. Interest is calculated and reinvested in the fund monthly.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and 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 account.

Fund accounting

For the purpose of the Statement of Financial Activities, funds are defined as follows:

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme with The People’s Pension. The pension charge represents the amount payable by the charity on behalf of its employees.
