OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

Our Vision:

At CREATE Paisley, our vision is to see young people transformed through creativity, community, confidence and finding their voice. We work alongside them to help them build on their strengths and potential. Through a mix of drop-ins, creative workshops, and volunteering opportunities, we support young people to develop their skills, support networks and resilience.

Charitable activities Our work: drop-ins

Our drop-ins are the foundation of our programme. They provide opportunities:

Paisley Drop-in

A weekly evening session, providing a safe and welcoming environment for young people to be creative, spend time with friends, meet new people and get advice and support from the youth work team.

Johnstone Create Club

A weekly after-school drop-in that offers a variety of creative activities for young people in Johnstone as well as indoor/outdoor games, refreshments and a space to unwind after school. In partnership with Active Communities.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

YouthFULL Linwood

This was a weekly creative drop-in in partnership with Linstone Housing (until December 2024) that offered young people opportunities to explore different topics through arts-based activities. We also offered snacks, study/homework support and a safe space to relax after school and make new friends.

Youth Forum (The Magnificent Blue)

A weekly youth-led drop-in focussing on youth voice, campaigning, fundraising and planning events. The group have organised 2 craft sale events to raise money for a summer trip to the Sea Life Centre, have curated and hosted an exhibition exploring the Scots language and Renfrewshire’s history called “Scots! Nae Slang”, and have written and performed a puppet show about climate change.

Go CREATE Holiday Programme

In 2024, our summer programme included day trips to Lapwing Lodge, the Transport Museum, a picnic and scavenger hunt and a Youth Forum planning event. We also offered daytime creative workshops and summer themed wellbeing sessions at our Paisley and Johnstone drop-ins in collaboration with Right2Dance and The Soundsystem Project.

Young Volunteers Programme

At the beginning of 2025, we launched a new Young Volunteers programme for young people aged 16-25. We ran introductory training, group supervisions and 1:1 support for the first cohort of volunteers who are now supporting sessions across Paisley and Johnstone.

Schools programme

We offer lunchtime drop-ins and creative sessions for students struggling to re-engage with the mainstream curriculum. These sessions are led by members of our Youth Work team who are also artists. They run creative activities to engage young people and support their social and emotional development.

Johnstone High School

Gleniffer High School

Young Carers

In partnership with Renfrewshire Carers. Weekly lunchtime group for young carers and friends at 5 different schools on rotation, with support from a Renfrewshire Carers worker and craft activities provided by Create Paisley staff.

Our community collaborations aim to connect and support young people through a range of creative activities, fostering a sense of belonging and engagement. We partner with other organisations to address community needs and promote positive change.

Renfrewshire Resettlement Family Group

In partnership with Renfrewshire Council’s Resettlement team. Fortnightly group for refugee families to learn new creative skills, explore, connect and create positive memories.

Games and Grub

Corseford Family Fun Day

Our team supported the Corseford TARA Family Day in Johnstone by providing arts and crafts activities for the community.

We are in the process of developing an exciting collaboration with the charity organisation, Pachedu. The young people of Pachedu have visited multiple sessions at Create, including our Youth Forum projects. Create staff have also visited Pachedu and will be delivering taster arts sessions in 2025.

Up2Us and Barnardo’s

Taster sessions delivered to small groups of young people to support wellbeing; learn new skills and take part in creative activities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The charity reported a deficit of £33,516 (2024: deficit £133,103) for the year ending 31 January 2025 and has accumulated reserves of £107,662 (2024: £141,178) as at the year end.

In addition to the financial grants and donations received during the year (detailed in note 2), we are extremely grateful for the many individuals who donated their time volunteering with us. The work we do would not be possible without our amazing volunteers who have helped us during this year. The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements. In kind donations are also not accounted for within the financial statements.

Reserves policy

The trustees' policy is to maintain unrestricted funds (i.e. funds not committed or invested in fixed assets) at a level that equates between three and six months of operational running costs. Based on the budget for 2025-2026 this equates to a minimum of £66,799. The charity's unrestricted reserves at 31 January 2025 amounted to £73,744 (2024: £106,212) which met the required level. The trustees are satisfied with the current level of reserves held to ensure the ongoing viability of the charity.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Create Paisley

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 January 2025 set out on pages seven to twenty.

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's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the 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 the independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 seeking explanations from you as 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 view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :

Create Paisley

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 January 2025

General Information

Create Paisley is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, incorporated on 25th September 2012. The charity is governed by its constitution and has the registered address 18 Templar Crescent, Erskine, PA8 7FF.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements are prepared on an accruals basis, and on a going concern basis, in accordance with:

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

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value, unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The financial statements are presented in UK sterling, which is the charity's functional currency, and rounded to the nearest pound.

There have been no changes to the basis of preparation this financial year or to the previous financial year's financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Cash at bank and cash in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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 or similar account.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Financial instruments

The charity has financial assets and financial liabilities that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Taxation

Create Paisley is a charity within the meaning of Section 467 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 of Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied for charitable purposes only.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
