The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Charitable Purposes** The purpose of the charity is to advance youth education on climate change issues and develop youth leadership skills to empower, equip and enable the next generation of leaders to take action on climate change. The activities of the organisation focus on those aged approximately 18 to 35, recognising that there is under-representation of this age group at leadership level on climate change. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Charitable activities** Guided by our values, our work continued to empower, equip, and enable young people across Scotland to lead action and create a social movement to tackle the climate crisis. We have done this through: **Climate Action Leadership Programme (CALP):** Formerly known as the ‘Young Leaders Development Programme’, in September 2024, we launched a new and improved version of our flagship free-to-access climate leadership programme for young people in Scotland. Following a comprehensive review of our programme in 2023-24, our revised programme retains its ambition to empower Scotland’s young people to lead action on climate change by equipping them with leadership skills and climate change knowledge. The refreshed programme seeks to achieve this ambition through: (a) Immersive learning, where participants engage in a mix of in-person and online workshops, inspiring talks, and interactive training sessions; - (b) Exploratory field trips, with hands-on experiences to deepen participants’ understanding of real-world climate actions; and (c) A thriving community, providing the opportunity to connect with and be inspired by a network of like-minded young people taking action in the climate space. The programme took place between September 2024 and March 2025 and consisted of an online induction, two ‘core’ in person modules events at the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute and Dundee Science Centre, two field trips to Flanders Moss peat bog and Whitelee onshore wind farm, a graduation event in Glasgow at the Social Hub, and three online events. Our programme was run for 110 young people, with 80% completing, delivered by a core group of volunteers alongside our small but mighty staff team. We continued to delivery against our strategic pillar of diverse participation, with a very diverse range of participants including: - 15% living with a disability. - 28% part of the LGBTQIA+ community. - 22% part of a marginalised ethnic/racial group. - 75% identified as female - 4% with a caring responsibility. - Participants from more than 20 local authority areas, with 23% of participants living outside the central belt. **Policy engagement:** Our Policy volunteer subgroup promotes the empowerment of young people and their inclusion in decision making, amplifying their collective voice in addressing the climate emergency. To this end, in the past year we have: - Hosted an online workshop to gather young people’s voices on Scotland’s climate policy on single-use cups. The workshop outputs were used to submit a consultation response to the government on behalf of young people; - Collaborated with our CALP volunteers to provide policy-focused workshops to CALP participants. - Published several online blog articles to boost youth engagement with Scottish climate policy, including an analysis of the - UK general election manifestos with respect to climate change, a blog series covering the links between poverty and climate change and intersectionality, and reflections on the science industry and climate to mark British Science Week. Page 2 **2050 Climate Group** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Charitable activities** **Leaders Network:** 2050 Climate Group’s Leaders Network facilitates opportunities for our community to connect with each other as we work towards a just and sustainable society. The network consists of those who have engaged in our projects, such as graduates of our Climate Action Leadership Programme and former 2050x Fund recipients, as well as 2050 Climate Group's past and present volunteers, trustees and staff members. During the year, our Leaders Network subgroup hosted a ceilidh to mark 2050 Climate Group’s 10th birthday, bringing together 65 people from our community together to reflect and celebrate our history as a charity. The volunteer subgroup also hosted an online fundraising workshop to provide guidance for small groups and individuals seeking funding support for climate and social justice projects in Scotland. **External Collaboration:** 2050 Climate Group staff, trustees and volunteers take part in representing the organisation to make sure the voice of the youth is brought to the fore, including through the Climate Emergency Response Group, the Scottish Government’s Marine Litter Strategy Steering Group and the Single Use Disposable Cups Charge Advisory Group. In addition, we have hosted guest blog articles on our website, including an article from Climate FORTH to mark World Habitat Day and from Lo w Carbon Days Out (supported by our former 2050x fund). **Diversity and Inclusion:** Diversity and inclusion continue to be key priorities for the Board. We recognise that climate leaders come from all backgrounds and strive to ensure that everyone feels welcomed, supported and represented through our work. We continue to offer additional support to those who might face barriers to participating in our events, for example through our Participatio n Fund. 2050 Climate Group participates in the Race Report, which aims to improve diversity and inclusion within the environmental sector. Our Climate Action Leadership Programme welcomed participants from a wide range of backgrounds, an d we hope to maintain the diverse participation in the programme in future years. ## **With Thanks** Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers and staff and the support of our partners and funders, 2050 Climate Group has been able to continue to make an impact. Our volunteer teams have contributed a significant number of hours over the financial year to develop and deliver our activities. These volunteers have powered our success. We would like to acknowledge our volunteers and staff for their exceptional passion, drive and motivation to help young people to take action on the climate crisis. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Financial position** Our financial results are set out on pages 6 to 15. We are thankful to all who have supported us, both financially and otherwise. In particular, our thanks go to the People’s Postcode Lottery, Glasgow City Council, the William Grant Foundation and the Garfield Weston Foundation for their support and encouragement. The charity incurred a total deficit of £23,376 for the year ended 31 March 2025 (2024: deficit of £39,320). The deficit primarily relates to a continued decrease in funding received from private sector funders and partners, whom we have previously engaged to support and attend our flagship leadership programme. During the year, the Board continued to manage costs closely in light of this challenging funding environment, and continued to enhance our fundraising capability, with a focus on diversifying income streams from grant funding. The charity’s financial position remains robust. At the balance sheet date, reserves totalled £102,907 (2024: £126,283), which comprises unrestricted free reserves of £101,353 (2024: £120,212), restricted reserves of £1,500 (2024: £5,500) and designated funds of £54 (2024: £571). ## **Reserves policy** The Trustees have examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. Our policy is to aim to maintain at least four months’ working capital to ensure contingency funds. Based on the 2024-25 accounts, this amount is £32,243. The unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2025 were £101,353, the trustees are satisfied that the reserves policy is being met and excess funds will be used to reinvest into the charity. ## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** Despite challenging external factors and a competitive funding environment, the need for a just and sustainable future is more relevant than ever. Our next financial year will see us continue to deliver against our 2023-2026 strategy, continuing our ambition of providing meaningful support to young people from a diverse range of backgrounds. We will welcome our second cohort of Climate Action Leadership Programme participants, building on the success of our first programme, as we continue to equip and empower the next generation of leaders with knowledge and skills to take action on climate change.

The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply.

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 : - (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; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to 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. ountants Brett Nicholls Associates Herbert House 24 Herbert Street Glasgow G20 6NB Date: .............................................

Its registered address is 7 Montgomery Street Lane, Edinburgh, EH7 5JT. ## **2. 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 Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005; - Regulation 8 (Statement of account - Fully accrued accounts) of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006; - the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, published in March 2018 ("FRS 102"), to the extent that it applies to small entities and public benefit entities; - 'Accounting and Reporting' by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, published in October 2019 (FRS102)' ("the Charities SORP"); - UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and - the historical cost convention. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

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 only. ## **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.
