AYR HOUSING AID CENTRE SCIO TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 eee
Significant activities Ayr Housing Aid Centre SCIO is established for charitable purposes only, and in particular, the objectives are: 1. Relief of those in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship, homelessness or threat of homelessness or other disadvantage;
-
Relief of poverty;
-
Advancement of human rights, conflict resolution or reconciliation: and 4. Advancement of education.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by OSCR in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
Charitable activities
In this reporting year, the Centre continued to provide contracted services to East and South Ayrshire Council, with our offices open to the public, providing a safe environment for staff and visitors. This enabled us to continue to deliver high quality services to our service users throughout the Cost of Living and Housing Crisis. The Centre continued to monitor operational and financial performance throughout the year and adapted services for the service users, always evolving to meet specific needs. AHAC were proactive in securing additional funding to positively improve crisis situations for those in need by being selected as a Glasspool Frontline Partner agency.
South and East Ayrshire Councils contributed £343,815 for the contracted core services delivered. Due to various reductions in contract value, the Centre has had to apply for additional external funding to allow it to ensure sufficient staff are able to provide an adequate service delivery to those in housing need and poverty. AHAC received funding from the Scottish Government and VASA to enable us to provide enhanced Advice & Advocacy services to help those most in need and to cope with additional pressure from increased demand during the Cost of Living and Housing Crisis. It is a fair estimate that every year around 4,000 to 5,000 individuals or organisations directly or indirectly benefit from our services.
Review of business and future developments
During this year, we focused on our 5-year plan along with reviewing our expenditure to become even more efficient and effective, We continued to streamline our data/statistical/case recording, accounting and IT systems to improve accuracy and efficiency to reduce staff time collating, analysing and reporting. AdvicePRO and Xero packages were implemented to improve effectiveness and efficiency and has effected streamlining reports. We continued to proactively work with a range of stakeholders to mitigate the economic, health and social impacts on vulnerable people by accessing essential grants to alleviate poverty, in particular food and fuel. Within this year, grants to individuals paid from our accounts reduced from £7,242 to £2,228, with a concerted effort to have payments made directly to external accounts to reduce staff admin burden. From 1 April 2024, we became a Glasspool Grant Delivery Partner for the Flexible Frontline Fund, enabling us to offer immediate assistance for those in need. This year we were fortunate to have the value of this increased from £40k per year to £50k - £47,500 within the period of this accounting year.
We influenced local and national policy through responding to homeless, housing and poverty-related consultations which directly affect those we work with. We worked with various groups including Poverty Alliance, CPAG, One Parent Families, Oxfam and Centrepoint to lobby on poverty-related issues.

Financial review
Financial position
The results for the year showed a surplus of £3,474 mainly due to various staffing changes and renegotiation of running costs contracts, as well as spending under budget for various categories. The charity is in an acceptable financial position, with cash funds of £440,497 and reserves of £402,642 at the year end. AHAC will continue to make savings though strict budgeting and expenditure control. AHAC continues to have a tender contract with South Ayrshire Council until March 2026, and East Ayrshire Council's part of this contract renews annually through agreement. AHAC will continue to seek other funding streams to enable us to continue to promote social justice and access to free Tribunal representation while minimising risk to central funds. Five-year financial budget forecasts have been prepared within our 5-year plan and are reviewed. AHAC will continue to evolve and develop to achieve our core aims of preventing and delaying homelessness, as well as alleviating poverty wherever possible.
Reserves policy
The Board recognises the need to hold reserves to provide the necessary working capital to carry out our activities and to provide protection against future adverse financial circumstances. Our target is to retain an amount equivalent to 4 to 6 months operational expenditure in designated reserves for this purpose. We have designated reserves of £316,347 to provide for identified redundancy liabilities of £36,275, and a further £255,072 for salaries and admin costs and to protect against contract liabilities in the event of current funding ceasing. We have also provided a future designated reserve for a potential office relocation of £25,000. Restricted funds comprise of funds that are subject to specific conditions imposed by the donor on how these funds can be spent. At 30 June 2025, we had restricted reserves of £739 relating to grants received for specific purposes. Unrestricted reserves of £85,556 are available for any purpose.
Future developments & plans for the future
The next 12 months will focus on delivering and monitoring our secured contracts and tendering for the new Council Contract to start on 1.4.26, We will review our 5 year plan and work on our new plan period including seeking additional funding streams to maintain or increase service delivery to meet demand and expectations from the community we serve. Additional income generation will further enhance existing services and allow us to react immediately to crisis poverty situations. We will continue to influence local and national policy through responding to homeless, housing and poverty-related consultations and campaigns which directly affect those we serve.
it is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between 4 to 6 month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO). Ayr Housing Aid Centre became a registered SCIO on 1 October 2020, SC049609. The Centre is registered with the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator (OSCR).

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by
- The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
1.2 Going concern 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 the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 1.3 Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
- 1.4 Income Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. 1.5 Expenditure Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

1.9 Retirement benefits
Ayr Housing Aid Centre is a member of the Strathclyde Pension Scheme, a Local Government Pension Scheme, which is a defined benefit scheme and provides benefits based on a final pensionable pay. As part of the Admission Agreement to the Scheme both Ayr Housing Aid Centre and South Ayrshire Council agreed that assets of the Pension fund in respect of the Charity employees and former employees shall, at all times, be notionally allocated to South Ayrshire Council and the liabilities of the Pension Fund shall, at all times, be the responsibility of South Ayrshire Council and not Ayr Housing Aid Centre. As a consequence of this agreement there is no requirement to disclose pension assets and liabilities in the accounts of Ayr Housing Aid Centre. South Ayrshire Council guaranteed those already in the scheme linked to SCIO status. Any new employees who joined after conversion to SCIO have been enrolled in the Nest pension scheme. 2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
