## **Reanimate** **Trustees’ Annual Report** Period From1st April 2021 to Period End 31st March 2022 ## **Charity contact information** Your charity’s name Reanimate Scottish Charity Number: SC046370 Telephone number N/A Email address info@reanimate-mentoring.org Website www.reanimate-mentoring.org Social Media profile name Reanimate **2** Charily Trustees ## **Objectives and activities** The advancement of education The advancement of citizenship The relief of those in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship, or other disadvantage The advancement of animal welfare This was an extremely busy year for us due to the aftermath of lockdowns and a lack of local services running. All of our activities involve education through personal development, our work experience programmes are help those taking part to feel a part of their community and a sense of ‘giving some back’. Our programmes are designed mainly for those in our community who are at a disadvantage and find it difficult to take part in usual activities. Our animal welfare objective has remained with the high standard of care provided to all the animals and is at the heart of the work we do with people. **4** **Structure, governance and management** Constitution Our charity is a SCIO and run by a constitution. Trustee recruitment and appointment We put an advert on Good Moves and also recruited supporters to the board. We welcome trustees coming from organisations but haven’t managed to fullfill this as yet. Given the level of work involved in our charity it is difficult to fill trustee positions as people don’t have the spare time to give what is needed. This is something we are looking into and will be working towards getting our staffing levels up to cover the majority of the workload. **5** ## **Achievements and performance** This was an extremely busy year for us due to the aftermath of lockdowns and a lack of local services running. The activities carried out this year covering objectives: - Duke of Edinburgh Awards - Work Experience (Schools) - Work Experience (Uni/College) - Focussed Group Work Programmes (Schools) - Youth Volunteering - Family Bonding Volunteering - Adult Volunteers - Disability Organisation Days - Autism Support - Mental Health/Behavioural Support In total we supported 203 people this year to make a difference in their lives. As a small charity we were quite stretched and were not expecting this amount of people in need but hope as other services start to get back to some form of normality that this will level out over the next couple of years. Given the challenges the country has been facing we have not been in a position to take in anymore animals as this would impact on the care of our current animals. Our Animal Welfare practices are extremely important to keep to a high standard both for the animals and also the people we support, they need to see we are caring for the animals well. Below are some snippets from our reviews. “Wallace High has worked closely with Reanimate for the best part of a year to support our learners who struggle with confidence, self-esteem, attendance, emotional regulation due to many factors - additional support needs, mental health, trauma, chaotic homes. We have seen a huge improvement in our learner's emotional well-being. The that and her team are working on developing are definitely making a huge difference to our learners. The team at reanimate understand our learners and how to work with them, they are providing a much-needed form of support that is **6** growing. Without the support and help of Reanimate these learners wouldn't be building skills that will allow them to flourish. After each session the young people attend, it is very difficult to get them to come back to school! The smile on their faces is priceless. This is a much-needed resource and I hope to strengthen and build our relationship and work more with Reanimate to offer more opportunities to support the needs of the learners at Wallace High School.” “Our daughter started helping at Reanimate after a really tough time with mental health difficulties. She was refusing to go to school, experiencing debilitating panic attacks and struggling with self esteem. Reanimate has given her a place of safety, comfort, fun and love. We have seen her confidence and sense of self worth increase and she now looks forward to her weekend shift up there farm. The approach Sharon and team take to the animals and human healing is incredible. Cuddles with the goats and horses should be prescribed and has done wonders for our family.” “Reanimate is the most amazing place. It gives people a chance to be who they are, in a setting that understands them, and gives them the space and time to gain confidence. Everyone who works and volunteers there is welcoming, and completely understand the needs of people visiting. You are able to go at your own pace, spend time with the animals (who also allow for lots of laughs along the way - we're talking about you Leroy and Harley!), and use the outside space to your advantage. We can't recommend them enough, and everything they are doing for us.” Our volunteers and service users have gained many skills over the year, the most noted is raised confidence and self esteem, emotional regulation, interpersonal skills, empathy, caring for self and others. Everyone learns the basics of animal care, feeding, stable management and field checks, they also learn how to read situations with the animals and use active ‘listening skills’, this is a transferrable skill that helps in interpersonal situations. The positive impact of learning these skills has resulted in higher school attendance, emotional regulation, improved behaviour and a sense of personal worth. **7** **Financial review** Gross Income £113,791,39 Gross Expenditure £138,107,77 Reserves £1,339.78 No Deficit as money remaining from the year before. Statement of the charity’s policy on reserves We aim to have 3 months reserves, however this is becoming difficult due to ongoing issues the country is facing. There is still a lot of uncertainty in the country and something we are continually working on. Details of any deficit None Donated facilities and services None **8** ## **Future plans** Our future plans are to streamline our services better for moving forward. We would also like to encourage more trustees onto our board with specific skills to help us to move forward. ## **Additional information** This year has been challenging for our staff who went above and beyond to provide much needed services in our area, filling a massive gap in service provision. Although this is something we are very proud of we would need additional staffing to continue to provide this level of service. We are working towards setting up a Subsidiary Business to help the charity be more sustainable financially, this would involve finding more suitable premises. This will be looked at over the next couple of years. **9** ## **Declaration** Signed on behalf of the charity trustees: Print name Chair Designation 30/12/2022 Date **10** Declaration Signed on behalf of the charity trustees: Print name Designation H41¢ Date 2oZ 10 ## **Reanimate AGM 11[th] February 2022** ## **Attendees:** **Name Designation Apologies: Name Designation Note of Meeting: Topic Action** ~~—_—_—_—_—_—_—_$—_—_—_—<—<—_——~~ Resignations and Nominations of new board members has now resigned from the board of trustee’s. has resigned as interim treasurer, but will continue to be on the board as a regular trustee. nominated as Secretary and Jamie seconded nominated as treasurer and Sharon seconded ~~|~~ Treasurers Report: to be added to the bank account to enable more than to make payments. Also trying to open a CAF online account but will keep RBS account. CAF would be the main account with RBS as the secondary account. CAF have the facility to issue debit cards for small amounts of money that other people in the charity can use (instead of petty cash). Will be useful for buying small items for the welfare unit like cleaning products and tea/coffee. ~~|~~ Chairs Report All in all the year has been a good one. The service is becoming more in demand than ever with a lot more referrals. Monies have come in, but we need to ensure that we get more money in to continue service provision and to ensure that the charity can continue to function. This will be discussed more in depth later in the meeting. gave an update on the current staffing arrangements and user attendance. • h (comms) and (business development) have both left. - 5 staff currently on payroll - Accountant is paid by invoice - 21 people attend for volunteering per week – 6 are work experience the rest are “service users”. - Tuesday mornings and Friday mornings are set aside for the High Schools. Groups are limited to 6 pupils at a time due to both Covid restrictions and staffing. - Referrals are coming in through educational psychologists, parents, schools, autism initiatives, employability, BLESMA. - Broad age range of service users. Youngest is 5, oldest is 61. ~~Ce~~ Funds: Currently we have several things down for core costs including rent, electric, staffing, internet etc. We need to get a firmer grasp on the running costs so we can add these in when applying for funding. ~~Ce~~ Fundraising Consultants: Ongoing have been in touch with a company of consultant fundraisers as we no longer have anyone to carry out fundraising for us. We ideally want to use them to get in funds that can be used to employ a part time (or two part time) fundraisers to ensure that we have staff on board who can continue to obtain funds for the charity. Their cost will be £3,000 over a period of a few month. They will do a case for support, fundraising searches and will work alongside them to get out fundraising applications. They will ensure that any funding applications to be submitted are worded well and hitting the right tone. This will allow us to develop a portfolio of applications to refer to for future funding requests. They will also develop a roadmap to assist the charity moving forward. There is still £3,200 in the budget salary which will no longer be used, so this will be used to pay for the consultancy. All trustee’s agreed that this money should be used for this purpose. would like to use this agency again in the future for the large project of securing funds to buy a premises as this is something the organisation has had previous experience of. ~~Ce~~ Record Keeping Ongoing As the charity grows, we need to improve the record keeping side of things. We need to have a more centralised system and as such has been looking into CRMs and has found a company called Access. They have four components to the CRM – they will keep a record of all funders and donor’s and will submit gift aid on our behalf. This will be helpful in terms of renewals and newsletters. It will also track service users and enquiries and allow us to pull reports to show the growth and changes over time. Their costs are £1267.00 for the year. Sharon and John will have a meeting with Access on the 15[th] February 22 at 1pm to discuss further. They also talked about Google Ads as funding is available for this so Sharon and John will enquire further. This will allow us to creative a passive revenue. was looking for a provisional yes from the trustee’s to go ahead with this, but will continue to look into it and liaise with the trustee’s once further information available. ~~Re~~ Just Giving Ongoing Just Giving needs to be set up ASAP now that Virgin Money Giving is no longer in operation. All donations through here will be added to the CRM to allow to keep track. Need ID documents from both as well as bank statements to progress with this. ~~Ce~~ Asset Transfer looking into asset transfer for the premises just now (reduced rent with the possibility to buy at a reduced rate later on). Securing funds for this will be a priority later on once the charity is on firmer footing with a fundraiser in place. Newsletter Looking to set up a quarterly newsletter for donators and interested parties. possibly interested in taking some of the newsletter on but it will probably be a joint venture. Coming Year Having all the above in place will hopefully ensure that next year’s AGM will be more comprehensive and have more information about how the charity has progressed. New trustee’s will need to receive copies of the constitution, a trustee contract, the charity blurb, information on OSCR and charity email addresses. Reanimate Scottish Charity No – SC046370 Annual Report and Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2022 Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Reanimate I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 3 to 5. ## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) 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 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 view given by the accounts. ## Independent examiner’s statement In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than disclosed below*] 1. 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 to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations ## have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
