PROJECT RECAPS

Mental Health Support Programs

Our work in the mental health area has been a focus for the 24/25 year. Building on previous work done with the Kurdish and Syrian family groups through creating support groups and courses on mental health trauma first aid.

In 2023, a new partnership was created with the University of Edinburgh Psychology department to provide a more structured and academic process to the projects. Various publications have now been published about the projects.

Our next phase was to engage with a World Health Organisation process called PM plus (Problem Management Plus). This was designed to enable communities to undertake low level mental health interventions in their own communities. We are currently working with the following groups:

To date 6 Syrian/Kurdish women have completed the training and are beginning to run their own sessions.

Happiness Group

The Happiness Group brings together New Scot women aged 50+ and provides a space for them to meet, share and explore Scotland.

The group consists of 30 members, all originally from Syria. It began as a whatsapp group during lockdown to support each other and for Re-Act to help with navigating the local community and rules and through the work of the group, and has evolved to this.

This year has seen them meet fortnightly at Richmond Church.

Afghan Ladies Group

The Afghan Ladies Group sees 20 women from the Afghan New Scot community come together weekly at the Oxgangs Library. It provides a place for support, discussion and support. Topics addressed in the sessions have included mental health. health issues, local democracy.

This group is a partnership between Re-Act and the Edinburgh Council’s Refugee and Migration team.

Welcome Program

Our welcome program - which includes providing essentials and gifts to new arrivals in the city, has been a stalwart program of our charity since our inception and continues to allow those arriving with near to nothing in our city to live in basic dignity as they build their new lives. There are a number of components to the program:

Welcome Packs

A Welcome Pack consists of a backpack suitable for nursery, school or college and contains age-appropriate items such as water bottle, lunch box, toothpaste and brush, hat scarf and gloves, stationery, books, small toys and toiletries. Some packs are donated by individuals and others provided due to funding received.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 30 April 2025

In this year beneficiaries included:

Many of these children were also provided with clothes, including warm jackets, and toys.

Unaccompanied Minors

There has been a large increase in unaccompanied teenagers arriving in Edinburgh this year. These young people are supported by the Edinburgh Council’s Social Work team, but very limited resources are available. We have worked in partnership with the Council teams to provide basic care and kits.

In this year beneficiaries included:

New Baby Packs

Our Welcome Packs for new babies includes a mix of pram, crib or Moses basket, bouncy chair, bath, changing bag, bedding, clothes, nappies and toys.

In this year beneficiaries included 17 babies: 12 Syrian, 2 from Afghanistan, and one each from Sudan, Palestine and Nigeria.

Due to pressures on volunteer time and resources, and the fact that other organisations were offering similar services, we decided to reduce this provision from the end of 2024. Syrian families are now able to pass on baby items no longer needed and are eligible to receive the Scottish Government baby box and other benefits. Families in need can also be referred to the baby bank at Pregnancy Counselling and Care.

We also received 136 requests for help sourcing specific items such as baby equipment, furniture etc. for New Scot families in the city.

Playgroup

The Re-Act Playgroup welcomes refugee and asylum seeker families on Saturdays, 2.30-4.30, at the Community Centre in Craigmillar.

The playgroup is now in its 10th year and has provided a safe place for families to meet and children to play. The playgroup includes arts, sports and music. With guest sessions run by other charities such as U-Think and music therapists. A healthy snack is also prepared and shared.

This year has seen steady numbers with approximately 30-40 children and their carers joining each week.

Schoolwork Support Group

The Re-Act Schoolwork Support Group started as a COVID response for isolated children struggling academically. Since the start it has been supported by the University of Edinburgh’s Moray House of Education.

Teachers, trainee teachers and Re-Act volunteers tutor both primary and secondary students at the family’s home. Tutors are also able to help families with questions they have about parents' nights, the education system in Scotland, the Curriculum for Excellence, etc.

The University published their research around the program:

Teen Creative Workshops

The creative skills workshops are a collection of 6 workshops across 3 years that focuses on Syrian teenagers 13 -17 years. To provide them an opportunity to learn practical skills and about educational pathways for a career in the creative industries. 2 workshops were due to be held in our 2024/2025 year.

Due to issues engaging with the teenagers, in 2025 the project will be pivoted to work with the Afghani teen community.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

As we look towards the future, Re-Act is committed to prioritising the following:

  1. Continuing and building on our existing programs.

  2. Working with both the University of Edinburgh and Queen Margaret University to explore how to work more closely with them on mental health projects in the community.

  3. Solidify our core funding and reserves.

  4. Work with a professional volunteer to polish our communications and general presentation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

During the year the charity had income of £51,170 (2024: £74,497) and expenditure of £67,361 (2024: £57,726) leading to an overall deficit of £16,191 (2024: surplus £16,771).

The deficit has arisen mainly due to the timing of receiving funds - the reduction in restricted reserves demonstrates the expenditure of restricted funds brought forward from 23/24 utilised in the current year.

Reserves policy

The charity has no fixed policy on reserves but aims to hold around 3 months of unrestricted operating costs in order to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

The charity currently has reserves of £41,137 (2024: £57,328), this comprises of £43,734 of restricted funds and -£2,597 in unrestricted funds (2024: Restricted £55,361; Unrestricted £1,967).

The balance of "free" unrestricted reserves of negative £2,597 is deemed to be sufficient due to the limited overheads of the charity. Project expenditure is only committed to once funding can be obtained.

Post year end unrestricted funding of £40,000 over 2 years was awarded with £20,000 received in 25/26. This funding will be used to contribute to various projects undertaken and ensures that the charity can continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The charity will aims to build upon reserves so that projects can continue in the event of a reduction in grants or donations.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Re-Act Refugee Action SCIO

I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 April 2025 set out on pages eight to seventeen.

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's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the 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 the independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 30 April 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

The accounts are presented in sterling with is the charity's functional currency, and rounded to the nearest pound.

No changes have been made to the basis of preparing the financial statements this year or to the previous year's financial statements.

Going Concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern and that there are sufficient reserves to meet the reserves policy detailed on page 5, therefore the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis.

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.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

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.

Measurement of 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.

Cash at Bank and on Hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and any short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months of less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Creditors and Loans

Creditors and loans 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 loans are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
