## **CITADEL YOUTH CENTRE SCIO**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**_
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's governing document, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and "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**
The Citadel Youth Centre continues to provide high quality universal and targeted services to support children, young people and their families in Leith and the wider area, responding directly to the expressed needs of the local community. We have a long history of working in partnership with local agencies including schools, social work, other youth and community agencies as well as local families and local businesses. It is important that we retain the balance between open access provision alongside more specialised services that allows Citadel to develop, maintain and sustain long-term relationships with local children, young people and families, ensuring they can access the right support in a friendly and welcoming environment. We endeavour to be responsive to the needs of those who use our service but also in reaching out to those who might benefit from what we deliver – this allows us to continue to evolve as an organisation.
Despite significant funding pressures within public sector budgets and increased competition for funding streams, the important work of Citadel is needed more than ever and we can be incredibly grateful to all those who believe in what we do by supporting our services. This support ensures that we don't compromise on the quality of services we deliver to children, young people and their families in Leith. This work is delivered by a committed and professionally qualified staff team who continue to go above and beyond to ensure that children and young people are supported, nurtured and empowered to achieve their potential. Overall governance rests with the Board of Trustees who continue to provide strong and strategic leadership to the Citadel. We remain incredibly grateful to all of our many funders and supporters who make it possible to do what we do - they truly are the Friends of Citadel and we continue to expand this approach to enable the local community and businesses to support our work. More information about our work over the past twelve months can be obtained on our website www.citadelyouthcentre.org.uk or by following our Facebook https://www.facebook.com/FriendsofCitadel/ @CitadelYCLeith pages where developments at the Citadel are regularly updated.
## **Financial review**
The accounts show a deficit in the year of £2,118 (2024 - net deficit of £4,631) as detailed in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on page 8.
At 31 March 2025 the pension scheme was valued at £1,578,000 of net asset (2023/2024 net asset £1,305,000). In line with accounting standards this asset has not been recognised in the accounts. The pension scheme valuation can be subject to large movements from year to year as a result of actuarial calculations, changes in assumptions, and asset valuations and the trustees will monitor this on a continuing basis to assess the impact upon the financial position of the charity.
Although any valuation is only a "point in time", the level of the pension fund asset improved in the year from £1,305,000 to £1,578,000 of an asset. This clearly shows the volatility of the performance of the fund.
## **Reserves policy**
Our reserves policy remains at 25% - 50% of our annual running costs, which this year is £184,991-369,982. This is higher than previous years and reflects the growth within our service delivery. Our current free reserves is £260,759.

## **CITADEL YOUTH CENTRE SCIO**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**_
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **Governing document**
Citadel Youth Centre SCIO is a registered charity in Scotland (SC047933). This charity was established to replace Citadel Youth Centre (SC015293). Citadel Youth Centre (SC015293) has now wound up and passed its assets and liabilities to Citadel Youth Centre SCIO (SC047933) which is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The charity began trading as Citadel Youth Centre SCIO (SC047933) on 1 April 2018.
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
New members have the opportunity to meet with the Citadel Manager and, if they wish, the Chair of the Board to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the Board of Trustees. Initially, new members are encouraged to take part in a few full board meetings before volunteering for any of the management sub-groups.
Training is best described as 'on the job' though there are opportunities to access relevant training provided by external agencies. There is at least one joint staff and Board of Trustees session each year.
## **Organisational structure**
The overall management of the charity is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees, which meets regularly for this purpose. Members are elected to the Board at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and may also be co-opted at other times. Day-to-day management is delegated to staff under the supervision of the Citadel Manager.
## **Risk management**
The Trustees continue to meet at least 6 times per year, ensuring effective strategic oversight and governance is in place for Citadel and that the organisation continues to meet its objectives of providing high quality services to children, young people and families in Leith. The Trustees ensure that risks are identified, reviewed and carefully managed, with emphasis on financial management. The key risk to Citadel remains financial stability and the complexity and competitiveness of the funding environment. To support this, our Finance Sub-Group meets regularly with representation from the Trustees and senior staff. This group provides the opportunity for detailed discussion and analysis of the key financial issues for the organisation and reports back to the full meetings of the Trustees.
In 2024/25, City of Edinburgh Council’s third party grant to the Citadel was reduced by 71% for the current and next two years which presents a massive challenge to the organisation. The financial impact of that decision will continue to be felt in the next financial year. A prudent reserve policy in recent years has mitigated this impact in the very short term but the challenge to maintain the current level of service to the community is very significant.

## **CITADEL YOUTH CENTRE SCIO**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**_
## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the Charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
## **Auditor**
In accordance with the company's articles, a resolution proposing that Thomson Cooper be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put at a General Meeting.
## **Disclosure of information to auditor**
Each of the Trustees has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditor is aware of such information.
The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **CITADEL YOUTH CENTRE SCIO**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF CITADEL YOUTH CENTRE SCIO**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Citadel Youth Centre SCIO (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the _Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements_ section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees' report; or
- proper accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

## **CITADEL YOUTH CENTRE SCIO**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CITADEL YOUTH CENTRE SCIO**
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud**
We considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: existence and timing of recognition of income, posting of unusual journals along with complex transactions and non-compliance with laws and regulations. We discussed these risks with management, designed audit procedures to test the timing and existence of revenue and tested a sample of journals to confirm they were appropriate. In addition, we reviewed areas of judgement for indicators of management bias to address these risks.
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience through discussion with the officers and other management (as required by the auditing standards).
We reviewed the laws and regulations in areas that directly affect the financial statements including applicable charity and company law and considered the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
With the exception of any known or possible non-compliance with relevant and significant laws and regulations, and as required by the auditing standards, our work in respect of these was limited to enquiry of the officers and management of the charity.
We communicated identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance or fraud throughout the audit. However the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with the trustees.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
These inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed to avoid detection, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or the provision of intentional misrepresentations.

## **CITADEL YOUTH CENTRE SCIO**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
Citadel Youth Centre SCIO is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The registered office is 175 Commercial Street, Leith, Edinburgh, EH6 6JE.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Citadel Youth Centre (SC015293) began trading as Citadel Youth Centre SCIO (SC047933) on 1 April 2018. At that date all assets and liabilities were transferee from Citadel Youth Centre (SC015293) to Citadel Youth Centre SCIO (SC047933).
## **1.2 Pension asset & Going concern basis**
A pension asset of £1,578,000 (2024 : £1,305,000) has been calculated in accordance with provisions of FRS 102, as advised by the scheme actuaries. However, this asset has not been recognised. This is a measure of the net liabilities accrued to date, reflecting obligations in the long-term, and is based on particular assumptions and market values at the balance sheet date, which fluctuate from year to year.
Further details of the scheme and assumptions, as required by FRS 102, are shown in note 18.
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period not less than 12 months. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 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.
Income from annual or periodic grants is recognised in the period to which the grant relates. Any grant income received in advance is included as deferred income within creditors. Income from other grants and donations is recognised on receipt, provided any conditions for use of the funds have been fulfilled.
Where a grant or donation is received for a specific purpose, it is included within restricted income and any unexpended portion carried forward as a restricted fund.
Income from donations and fund-raising is recognised on receipt - in the case of fund-raising once the charity has control of the funds. Gift aid is recognised once a claim has been made.
Other income from activities is recognised on receipt or once an invoice has been issued where this is relevant.
## **1.4 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.

## **CITADEL YOUTH CENTRE SCIO**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.5 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Expenditure of more than £250 on motor vehicles, equipment and fixtures and fixtures and fittings is capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Improvements to property 10% on cost Project Equipment 25% on cost Office Equipment 25% on cost Motor vehicles 25% on Reducing Balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
## **1.6 Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **1.7 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.
## **1.8 Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
Qualifying staff are members of the Lothian Pension Fund, a multi-employer defined benefit scheme. Deficits under the scheme are recognised in the financial statements based on the company's share of the scheme assets and liabilities, as reported by the scheme actuary. The scheme assets are valued at market value. The company’s share of a scheme deficit is recognised in full on the balance sheet and its share of a surplus is recognised to the extent that the surplus can be recovered.

## **18 Retirement benefit schemes**
## **Defined benefit schemes**
The Citadel Youth Centre participates in the Lothian Pension Fund (LPF), a multi-employer defined benefit scheme which provides benefits based on final pensionable salary. A separate actuarial valuation has been obtained from the fund's actuary, which identifies the separate share of assets and liabilities of the scheme which relate to the Centre.
Contributions are determined by the fund's qualified actuary on the basis of triennial valuations using the projected unit method. The most recent triennial valuation was as at 31 March 2025, carried out by Hymans Robertson, independent actuaries, and this has been updated to reflect conditions at the balance sheet date, 31 March 2025.
The main assumptions used by the actuary in the valuation are shown below:

## _Mortality assumptions_
At the date of the most recent valuation, the duration of the Employer's funded liabilities is 23 years
## **Mortality**
Life expectancy is based on the Funds VitaCurves with improvements in line with the CMI 2023 model, with an allowance for smoothing of recent mortality experience and long term rate of 0.25% pa. Based on these assumptions, the average future life expectancies at age 65 are summarised below:

*Figures assume members aged 45 as at the last formal valuation date.
## **Historic Mortality**
Life expectancies for the prior period end are based on the Fund's VitaCurves with allowance for future improvements as shown below:
## **Prospective Pensioners**
CMI 2022 model assuming an allowance for smoothing of recent mortality experience and long term rate of 1.5% p.a.
## **Pensioners**
CMI 2022 model assuming an allowance for smoothing of recent mortality experience and long term rate of 1.5% p.a.
## Commutation
An allowance is included for future retirements to elect to take 70% of the maximum additional tax-free cash up to HMRC limits.
