ement Constitution
The Charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO). It was
registered in its current legal form on 10 November 2020. The Charity
intended to transfer from hosted position but with the pandemic the SCIO did
not trade until April 2023. The charity was previously a hosted project by HTSI
we changed our kgal form to a SCIO. The assets of the unincorporated
association were transferred to the SCIO on the 1 April 2023. It has a single
tier structure and as such the trustees are the members of the charity.
ointment of Trustees
The management committee, which normally meets on the 3rd Thursday of
each month. are the charity's trustees.
Trustees are elected at the annual general meeting. There must be a minimum
of three and a maximum of five trustees.
ectives and Activities
Charitable purposes
The organisation's purposes are..
a. to advance the education of those living with long term conditions by providing training
and resources to support these individuals in managing their long-term condition.
b. to relieve and support those living with ill health or a disability through targeted training,
support ne￿OrkS and resources to enable them to take more control of their own health
and well-being.
c. to advance the health of those living with long term conditions through the concept of
self-management and well-being through the provision of training and resources and
development of support ne￿orkS.

Activities
Myself-management offers a wide range of in-person and online activities to our members.
Our annual increase in total membership has returned to pre-2023 re-branding levels, and
we are now reaching 479 people across our members, services and platforms.
Each month we run 15 community-based peer support groups and wellbeing activities in
locations across Highland from Broadford to Nairn and Inverness to Thurso, plus..
Popular summer activities, including the Jacobite cruise along Loch Ness and a fun
day of wellbeing activities in Caithness. These events are open to all members,
widening the circle of mutual support and connection.
Our annual Boccia tournament - the highlight of the year for many members which
was a roaring success again, with over 80 people from across the region gathered to
enjoy a day of competition, reinforcing friendships forged in online chats.
In response to a need identified within the community while the local sports centre
was closed, we launched a weekly seated strength and mobility session in Kyle
which we have continued to run with an average of 13-17 members attending.
Over 130 people have now benefitted from our Kyle eBike hire service, which
continues to provide a valuable opportunity for people living with long-term conditions
to try out an eBike before investing time, money and energy in buying their own bike.
Our online activities include weekly members-led peer support chats and multiple wellbeing
sessions each week including seated movement, relaxation and breathing, body boosting
bingo and daily tai chi sessions plus..
We extended our regular monthly themed chat provision to include a Living with Persistent
Pain session in addition to the established Long Covid peer chat.
Through the winter months, we added a weekly online sound therapy session, a regular
quiz (crafted and delivered by one of our members) and a series of presentations including
a talk by the V&A museum about their Kimono exhibition, nature talks with the Highland
Rangers and demonstration sessions with several local artists who volunteered their time.
All these sessions were held in the evening to provide additional support, connection and

interest during the darker nights.
Online self-management skills training in a group setting, delivered in blocks over 6
consecutive weeks.
Our eLearning courses which are available free of charge to anyone living in Highland as an
alternative introduction to self-management, increasing accessibility for busy people and
those who are unsure about joining online group activities as their starting point.
4 private Facebook peer support groups that serve as a safe space for members to share
information and receive key updates from our team. These groups currently run at
approximately 375 members across the board.

Achievements and Perforniance
Our second year as an independent organisation has been marked by continued growth,
adaptation, and development. The team has worked hard to manage the evolving demands of
background operations while maintaining and expanding the services we offer to our members.
Group membership has continued to rise steadily, supported by the creation and promotion of
new publicity materials and new staff in place to promote our services. Looking ahead to 2025-
26, we anticipate further growth as we re-engage with health professionals and partner
organisations to raise awareness of our services for people living with long-term health
conditions.
We remain mindful that many individuals have not yet returned to peer groups or community
events since the pandemic. In response, we've expanded our digital offerings and continue to
explore alternative ways to connect and engage with those who may benefit from our support.
In early 2025, we secured three years of match funding from NHS Highland (commencing on 1st
April 2025), alongside increased donations from members and supporters including City Mobility,
The Highland Lottery, Tesco, Nairn Ceilidh Group, Highland Construction Chairty Dinner, and
event contributions.
Ongoing funding includes..
National Lottery Improving Lives - Community Fund (Oct 2023-2026)
Highland Youth Living Well Project (Alliance Scotland, Oct 2023-2026}
Wait Well Project (NHS Highland, Apr 2024-2026)
Thanks to this support, we doubled our team size in early 2024, forming a stronger, more resilient
team ready to deliver and grow our services.

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.

Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
