Structure, Governance and Management
Constitution
The Charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (a SCIO). It was registered in its current legal form on 24 April 2021. The charity currently works through the Scottish National Council of YMCAs SC013792 to achieve its charitable objectives. This is due to a historic pension liability held by the Scottish National Council of YMCAs, which to date has prevented it from transferring its assets and governance to YMCA Scotland SCIO.
The Scottish National Council of YMCAs completed the incorporation process to YMCA Scotland SCIO on 1 September 2025.
Appointment of Trustees
The YMCA in Scotland operates through a federated structure, where each local YMCA is autonomous and affiliates to the YMCA movement currently through joint membership of YMCA Scotland SCIO and the Scottish National Council of YMCAs.
The Board of Trustees of YMCA Scotland SCIO is nominated by local member associations in accordance with the timeframes and procedures laid down in the YMCA Scotland SCIO constitution. These nominations are then presented to the Annual General Meeting when a public election process makes the appointments. In addition, the Chair and Treasurer of the Scottish National Council of YMCAs are Ex officio members of the Board of Trustees.
There must be a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 12 Trustees.
A newly elected Trustee will be supplied with initial information about the nature and structure of the organisation and their role as a Trustee. This will be followed by an induction meeting with the Chairman at which a more in-depth discussion of their role, purpose and responsibilities as a Trustee. Induction will also provide the member with copies of all YMCA Scotland SCIO policies.
Board of Trustees responsibilities
The Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for the Strategic and Financial Management of the organisation to:
4
-
Approve the budget, strategic plan and improvement framework for the year.
-
Approve signatories to the bank accounts.
Financial review
When YMCA Scotland SCIO was established, the Scottish Government had indicated that it would only provide grant funding to incorporated charities from 2021 onwards. However, the pandemic meant that existing funding arrangements were ‘rolled over’ for 2020-24. This has meant that Scottish National Council of YMCAs has continued to receive its core grant, with no requirement for the funding to be paid to YMCA Scotland SCIO.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of YMCA Scotland SCIO
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.
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 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) 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 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 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
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.
