The Trustees present the annual report and accounts for get2gether for the year ended 31 March 2026.

Reference and administrative information

Charity name: get2gether Charity registration number: SC043027 Principal address: 13 Queen’s Walk Edinburgh EH16 4EA Website: https://get2gether.org.uk 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:

Alasdair McLean Chair Michael Casey Treasurer Natasha Spassiani Secretary Mark Cameron Naomi Rahman-Shaw Mark Hoolahan Kenneth Dale-Risk (appointed 13 November 2025)

Following get2gether’s collaboration with Edinburgh Napier University on the ‘Our Rights, Our Community’ publication, Ken Dale-Risk was appointed as a Trustee in November 2025, bringing a wealth of experience in human rights law.

The constitution requires a minimum of four and a maximum of nine Trustees. 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. 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.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2026

Objectives and activities

get2gether’s aims are to:

Reduce loneliness and social isolation among adults with disabilities;
Increase the emotional awareness and resilience of adults with disabilities; and
Increase self-determination of adults with disabilities.

To achieve our aims, we:

Plan and arrange a regular monthly programme of social events, courses and workshops and publicise these to members;
Create opportunities for members to meet up regularly and develop a circle of friendships and relationships;
Support the development of the get2gether Steering Group that decides and plans activities according to members’ interests and requests;
Support our Ambassadors and create job opportunities for members; and
Develop ways to support our members to work towards a more independent, resilient, emotionally secure and self-determined life.

Achievements and performance

Key highlights of get2gether’s achievements in 2025/26 included:

1. Programme delivery and Member engagement

Across the year, get2gether hosted 208 events and 5 courses, creating regular opportunities for members to build friendships and community connections.

Members engaged with get2gether in different ways and at different levels throughout the year. While some attended over 90 events during the year, others chose to stay connected in different ways. We saw an average of 13 members per event and 11 per course.

Over the past 12 months, we worked with 397 adults with disabilities (members). We continued to employ 3 adults with lived experience of disability as Ambassadors, who facilitated our events and provided peer mentorship on our courses. The year had a strong focus on member involvement through the steering group and member-led events. We saw an average of 7 members hosting events each month. 6 members were learning how to host events for the first time. Through hosting events, members developed practical leadership, communication, and event-planning skills.

Members planned and celebrated get2gether’s 12th Anniversary Party, where 72% of members reported feeling more able to live the life they want. High levels of repeat attendance and a record number of members participating in events demonstrate that get2gether has become a trusted and valued community that adults with disabilities actively choose to be part of.

Achievements and performance (continued)

2. Membership Growth

get2gether received 110 new membership requests, bringing our total membership to 1,263 adults with disabilities at the year-end. Beyond referrals, get2gether’s outreach across Edinburgh College campuses has been an important pathway for young people discovering get2gether, accounting for 15% of new membership requests this year.

3. Developing the ‘Learning to Date’ project

Our Learning to Date pilot offered an inclusive workshop supporting members to build confidence, practise dating skills, and navigate real-world social situations. Developed at Leith Depot in 2024/25, we continue to expand this project. We approached Queen Margaret University to involve Speech and Language Therapy students as ‘Conversation Catalysts’. Additionally, the new partnership with Edinburgh Napier University will support delivery in 2026 and strengthen how we capture and share impact.

4. Our Rights, Our Community Book Launch

Together with Napier University, get2gether published a book on human rights, ‘Our Rights, Our Community’. The book launch brought together members, project partners, and supporters to celebrate members’ lived experiences and voices were central to discussions about human rights. The book will serve as a vital resource for raising awareness and affirming the human rights of adults with disabilities.

5. Award-shortlisted Partnership

Our partnership with Edinburgh Napier University was shortlisted at the Herald’s Higher Education Awards 2025. Being shortlisted in two categories from over 60 entries was significant recognition for inclusive academic research.

Get2gether’s Impact

get2gether continues to make meaningful progress in reducing social isolation and loneliness among adults with disabilities by creating opportunities for members to meet new people and form genuine, lasting connections. 84% of members reported they have more friends because of get2gether .

The community we nurture has the power to support one another through some of life’s most difficult moments. Through events and courses, members increase their emotional resilience - “After losing my husband, get2gether is a place to come to. I get support from people I'd otherwise lose touch with”

We continue to increase the self-determination of adults with disabilities by creating meaningful opportunities for member-led initiatives and community leadership. Member-led activity demonstrates growing members’ confidence, skills, and ownership within our community.

Get2gether’s Impact (continued)

While we are making strong progress towards our organisational aims, we also support other positive outcomes for adults with disabilities, with 92% members reporting that get2gether has made their life better.

As part of our Building Healthy Relationships umbrella of support , we have continued working with NHS Chalmers Sexual Health clinic in Edinburgh. Feedback from NHS staff highlights the importance of this partnership in supporting healthier and safer relationships among adults with disabilities - “ get2gether is the only organisation bringing people with disabilities to the clinic .”

A delegation from Iceland visited get2gether to learn more about our model and how we support people in the community. This reflects the growing recognition of our approach in supporting adults with disabilities beyond Scotland.

Plans for the future

As we move into 2026/27, our focus is on expanding our reach within Edinburgh and the Lothians, so more adults with disabilities can access and benefit from get2gether’s offering. We will deepen partnerships with trusted organisations across Edinburgh and the Lothians, driving forward greater inclusion and increasing mainstream opportunities for adults with disabilities.

We will continue to listen, learn, and act on what our members tell us, ensuring their voices and lived experiences are not only heard but directly shape the design, delivery, and future direction of get2gether’s programme and activities.

Financial review

Principal sources of funding

Our work in 2025/26 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.

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:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.

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 2026

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2026 which are set out on pages 7 to 14.

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

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

have not been met, or

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

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 the accruals 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.

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:

Unrestricted general funds comprise income received for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
Unrestricted designated funds comprise those funds ringfenced by the Trustees for a particular purpose in the year ahead.
Restricted funds comprise income which has been received for the objects of the charity and specified for a restricted purpose within these objects by the donor.

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.
