Objectives and activities

Charitable purposes Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects
	The charity works with an NGO in Uganda, the Straight Talk Foundation, to advance its charitable aims: 1) The advancement of health through working with organisations abroad on sustainable projects for the promotion of positive sexual and reproductive health messages 2) The advancement of education and awareness on issues surrounding sexual and reproductive health that affect the developing world.
	Our activities include promoting debate and dialogue amongst young people about the issues affecting their sexual and reproductive health. Each summer, we aim to send a team of medical students to Uganda to work with the NGO Straight Talk Foundation. They engage with schools and community groups (e.g. church youth groups) across the country via the medium of interactive workshops. The overarching aim of the charity and our partners is to promote positive reproductive health messages, and to educate on sexual rights and responsibilities.

APPENDIX 1 Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of
the charity during the financial period

During this financial period, the charity fundraised extensively for
upcoming volunteering project in Uganda.
The charity was successful in sending out a team in summer 2025 to the
eastern region of Uganda, particularly in the regions of Bugiri, and Iganga.
They educated adolescents in primary and secondary schools about
sexual and reproductive health, whilst combating common myths and
misconceptions. Over the course of the project, the team visited 23
schools and interacted with 12,386 students.
The charity continues to promote education and awareness of our
charitable objectives. Within Glasgow University the charity continues to
host educational events.
Additionally, the charity is currently in the process of fundraising, planning,
and sending out a team of medical students in June 2026. Accounts for
2025/26 will reflect this restart of the charities aims with a significant
increase in fundraising activities and expenditure.

Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy All funds held by Glasgow Straight Talk are unrestricted. Funds not spent on reserves in one accounting period remains in the bank for utilisation by the next year’s outreach team, ongoing support for our international delivery partners, and for administration costs of the charity.

Details of any deficit
Donated facilities and services (if any)

The deficit shown in the charity accounts relates primarily to project
expenditure for the Uganda trip, including food, water, accommodation
for five weeks for eight volunteers, and return flights for the team.
Additional costs included Straight Talk Foundation (STF) support
expenses for a member accompanying the team for five weeks,
together with associated travel costs. Further expenditure covered
educational gifts for school children (notepads, rubbers, and pens),
GST merchandise (T-shirts for the STF member attending schools),
and minor fundraising expenses such as face paint for university
events. Other fundraising costs were met personally by team
members.
The charity donated £1000 to NGO Straight Talk Foundation to help
students manage their menstruation. A mixture of reusable and disposable
sanitary pads were distributed to girls at Akanabala PS, Nambale PS, and
Nakigo PS, Nakigo SS, Namungalwe PS, Bukooli College, and Nalubaale
SS in Iganga and Bugiri districts. This included 40 boxes of disposable
sanitary pads and 190 packets of reusable sanitary pads.
A separate £1,000 payment was processed in error while attempting to
arrange payment to the STF team and was subsequently returned.

Notes (Katie Foreman)

Following the resumption of overseas outreach activities, a team was sent to Uganda in June 2025 to undertake a five-week outreach programme in furtherance of the charity’s objectives. The accounts for the year reflect the income received and expenditure incurred in connection with this programme. Accordingly, expenditure was incurred directly in relation to charitable activities carried out in Uganda during the year.

Income recognised during the year comprises funds raised through a range of fundraising activities organised in support of the outreach programme, together with contributions made by participating team members towards the overall cost of the trip. These combined sources of income enabled the charity to meet the expenses associated with delivering the programme and supporting its activities overseas. Expenditure recognised during the year includes travel costs, principally international flights, together with food, drinking water, and accommodation for the duration of the programme. Expenditure also includes the purchase of gifts, educational supplies, and other items taken for distribution to schools and communities in Uganda that had been supported through the charity’s fundraising efforts.

The charity trustees
	consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations

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 viewgiven bythe accounts.
