This past year has been one of real progress, and renewed purpose for River Kids. As a charity devoted to improving the lives of children, and their families within West Lothian, we have continued to see an increase in demand for our services. I am extremely proud of our small team of employees, the impact volunteers have on our charity and the supporters who have helped us raise to every challenge with compassion and commitment.

A Year of Impact - Activities and Achievements

West Lothian Toy Appeal: As has been a trend over the last several years, the demand for the Toy Appeal remains, with 3,085 referrals in total being fulfilled (a slight decrease of 5% on the previous year). The Charity continues to receive a great deal of support for the appeal, whether this is via volunteering, donation of toys, monetary donations or acting as a collection point. Without this support we would not be able to continue to assist so many children and their families at this important time of the year. The Charity expects the demand for the Toy Appeal will continue given that the wider economic impacts remain, and there’s an increase in the number of families in poverty throughout Scotland.

Referrals: Over the past 12 months, River Kids has continued to support families in need via our referral program. Through this scheme, we provide clothes, toys and household essentials, noting our key achievements over the last 12 months as:

We have distributed 1,003 items via 546 referrals; with an estimated value of £34,610;
Provided these services to over 200 Social Workers, Health Visitors, Charity workers & Pupil Support Workers;
Increased the number of schools we previously engaged with from 42 to 55, an increase of 24%;
Provided these services to 16 other charities in West Lothian; and
Provided 456 packs of clothing and 140 beds, cots and cribs.

Children’s Grants: At our previous Strategy Day, the Board agreed to increase the number of small grants that we would distribute to have a greater impact on the lives of children. Throughout the last 12 months, we have granted £4,996 to 26 children. The range of grants is widespread, but is uniquely individual, however, a number of highlights include:

Providing £300 to fund football lessons for a year for an 8-year-old boy whose sole-parent was unable to meet the monthly costs despite the child being desperate to play with his peers;
Provided similar funds to cover dance classes, swimming sessions, Rainbows & Beavers fees for individuals identified by Social Work; and
Using these funds to allow equity of opportunity and engagement with positive adult role models whilst removing stigma and anxiety for parents/carers desperate to give their children the opportunities they wish for.

Schools Grants: During the year, the Board agreed to use a significant amount of its reserves to support local schools. We invited schools to apply for grants up to £3,000 per project, and in total we provided £47,555 to 22 schools within West Lothian. Each applicant was reviewed and the applications with the greater impact were prioritised for this year. The range of grants was widespread, but in total we had a positive impact on 1,816 children, a number of highlights include:

Funding of Snack & Chat club in a school with 60% of pupils residing in SIMD 1. The club promotes healthy eating and engagement on a daily basis;
£7,015 to fund/part fund multiple school camp trips for individuals identified as in need of support;
£6,000 to support sensory room set up in 3 schools; and
Funding of 80 hours of Outdoor Education sessions throughout 6 Schools that have been proven to increase attendance and support attainment.

None of this would be possible without the incredible efforts of our donors, funders, and corporate partners, we are eternally grateful for your trust and continued support.

Issues Encountered during the year

Once again, it is with regret that we report that the Charity encountered some exceptional situations during the year:

Staff costs: Whilst these remain our highest outgoing for this financial year at £106,697, it is pleasing to note that several grant applications have been secured resulting in a total of £58,104 being received to cover costs; we continue to seek opportunities via grants to ensure that most of our funds are used for our charitable purpose. A key priority for the Charity remains establishing avenues for fresh funds coming in to secure the Charity’s longterm viability and continuous support to the community.
Accounting Issue: An issue was identified at the end of the accounting period in that an overpayment of £3,000 was made to Riverside Primary School as part of our grant funding. Rather than one payment of £3,000 being made a subsequent payment of £3,000 was also given to the school. As this was identified after the end of the accounting period, we note there is an understatement of £3,000 which will be reflected in the accounts for year-ending 2026 as the overpayment has been returned in the new financial year.

Thanks and Acknowledgement

None of the work we do would be possible without the incredible efforts of our volunteers , who give their time and energy so generously. To our staff , whose dedication often goes unseen but never unappreciated, I pass on my heartfelt thanks.

And finally, to our fellow Trustees , who’s wisdom, professionalism, and shared belief in River Kids’ purpose continues to allow us to move forward and deliver our goals.

Trustee remuneration and expenses

It is not our normal policy to provide expenses to Trustees; however, in the running of the charity it is sometimes a requirement that items are purchased and later claimed back. The following expenses were paid to Trustees in the year to 31 March 2024:

has received a total of £252 in expenses, being re-imbursement for toys he
bought for the Toy Appeal.
has received £230 as re-imbursement for IT licences, and costs, and a further £340
covering staff entertainment expenses.
has received a total of £169 in expenses, being re-imbursement for the
cost of booking a venue, and food for the AGM.

Reserves

The Charity held restricted funds of £99 for Property Funding, £500 for WLTA, and £25,867 grant funding for salaries.

Unrestricted funds of £126,397 were held between trading and investment accounts as at 31 March 2025. These unrestricted funds included a reserve for property which is being set up so that the charity has funds to take on a lease for premises if our lease with the current landlord was terminated through sale of the property.

Financially, River Kids remains in a stable position thanks to prudent management and the continued generosity of our supporters. We continue to ensure that every pound donated delivers the maximum possible impact.
