STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO). It was registered on 12 June 2015.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The structure of the organisation is the Board, comprising the charity trustees. The Board holds regular meetings and generally controls the activities of the Charity. The Board may, at any time, appoint additional trustees; the maximum number of trustees is six and the minimum number is three.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charitable purposes are as follows:
-
1 The advancement of environmental protection by promoting and delivering services that reuse and recycle furniture and other items from the waste stream.
-
2 The prevention and/or relief of poverty by provision, alone or with others, of furniture and other household items to the disadvantaged, marginalised and vulnerable.
-
3 The relief of this in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage by the
-
advancement of psychological, sociological and physical health by promotion and delivery of services that reduce the impact of poverty.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The charity collects, for reuse or recycling, furniture, clothes, books etc. Some of the furniture and other items are given to those in poverty or otherwise disadvantaged. The remainder is sold to the general public through a shop. The activities provide volunteer and work-placement opportunities to those who may otherwise be socially excluded.
The charity continues to trade in the Bridge Street building in Linwood making a positive impact on the local community, with a majority of customers now coming from the local area.
We have forged relationships with 2 other charities to supply furniture items for newly-housed clients. This will hopefully help to increase Revenue.

Report of the Trustees (Cont’d)
for the year ended 30 June 2025
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE (Cont’d)
We continue to see new volunteers joining the team with mutual benefit and continually look for more.
We continue to give away furniture, clothes, bedding, prams and more, to those in need by means of referral from the local council, from other charities and self-help groups.
In summary the charity continued to:
Provide a centre for donations of furniture, clothes and other household goods that would otherwise have gone to landfill, and pick up many more in our own transport.
Help some vulnerable people/families, referred to us by local council authorities, with free furniture etc.
Recycle many tons of clothes, books and other household items that would otherwise have gone to landfill.
Make donations to other charities providing food, clothes and practical assistance for the disadvantaged and vulnerable.
Engage regular volunteers whose lives were enhanced by having a happy and secure place to spend time.
Fundraising activities
Funds are raised from the sale of furniture and other items to the general public. Grants, gifts and donations are made from the surplus generated to other charities with similar purposes to our own.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial review
During the year, the shop made a surplus of £18,000. This allowed the charity to make grants and donations totalling £20,066 from funds generated during the year and retained funds. The charity also replaced the van during the year at a net cost of £14,998. The overall deficit after replacing the van was (£17,564). Funds held at 30 June 2025 were £25,728. The trustees are satisfied that this is sufficient working capital to allow the activities to continue.
Reserves policy
The trustees will endeavour to retain £25,000 as working capital to allow the effective running of the activities.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The current premises continue to provide a strong base for our operation and we continue with a formalised 9-month rolling lease.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Destiny Community Enterprise SCIO
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025 which are set out on pages 4 to 7.
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.
The charity 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 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 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 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.
