PATCHWORK RECOVERY COMMUNITY SCIO TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The Trustees present their report and independently examined financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Structure, Governance and Management

Constitution

The organisation, which had operated for a number of years as an unincorporated voluntary organisation (without charitable status), was incorporated as a SCIO on 4 February 2021 but activated with effect from 1 April 2021. A copy of the constitution, which deals with the appointment and termination of Trustees and other legal and administrative matters, is available from the Trustees at the principal office address.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

Trustees are appointed in line with the constitution.

As the charities responsibilities have increased considerably in the last year the charity thought it would be best to recruit new members to the Management Committee who could offer new skills.

Organisational Structure

There is currently 1 member of staff (part time) in a Peer Mentor role who is to fulfil the day-to-day responsibilities on behalf of the Trustees, with a priority to recruiting a manager and further staff as required however this number rose to 2 during the year.

The charity operates a hierarchical management structure in line with Board policy requirements. The key management personnel during the year were:

Annie ceased employment due to funding ending and continues the role on a voluntary basis

Pay Policy for Senior Staff

The pay of senior staff is reviewed annually, if required, by the Board with reference to pay scales for similar organisations within the sector.

Objectives

Patchwork Recovery Community is the only Recovery Community in Ayrshire and we continue to offer support for those not only in recovery but to those who are struggling to find their feet and take the first steps into recovery. We pride ourselves on our inclusivity and the fact that nobody is ever turned away from our door.

Our motto is — “we are all recovering from something”.

Patchwork work to engage individuals who are the some of the most marginalised in the community and connect them with services helping them re integrate into society and become valued members of their communities. We do this by delivering 2 distinct work streams and serve both people in recovery from addiction but also people who are still actively using drugs and/or alcohol by delivering drop-in days and evening but also more structured events and meetings.

Patchwork RC also work to address stigma by working with partners across the sectors to develop opportunities for training, volunteering and employment to help kick start and then sustain recovery.

We work with partners to develop a diverse range of activities which includes a substantial outdoor programme and many opportunities to engage socially.

PATCHWORK RECOVERY COMMUNITY SCIO

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Objectives (continued)

The organisation's purposes are:

Activities

Patchwork continue to work in collaboration with partners creating new partnerships while developing existing relationships and exploring the potential to work together to share resources, skills, training and ideas. Patchwork also signed up for membership of the Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce this year and have also taken the first steps in becoming and SVQ accreditation Centre.

Footfall continues to rise within the project however resources and capacity are unable to meet this need. Funding continues to be an issue with short term funding becoming more and more common

Volunteers and staff have worked tirelessly and been fully committed to help the charity continue its good work throughout this period however it has been a significant challenge which has been compounded by the lack of a manager in post since August 2025

Future Plans

Multiyear funding for a new manager is a priority as the board will no longer be in a position to meet the tasks of a manager on a voluntary basis due to their own personal work commitments. If the charity is to move forward into a new phase this will be crucial.

Anew 5-year plan was commence however this has had to be paused due to operational demands

A new manager would look at building capacity back to previous levels, creating new partnerships and increasing opportunities regarding education, training and volunteering.

We will continue to move forward and look for innovative ways in which to help some of the most marginalised individuals within our communities.

Related Parties

Refer to note 3 of the financial statements.

Risk Management

The Board feels that adequate insurances are in place in respect of the charity's activities. The uncertainty of funding beyond the short-term is a general concern within the voluntary sector, especially due to the current global economic situation. However, we remain very positive about the future of the charity.

Financial Review

Reserves policy

The charity would ideally maintain a minimum reserve of up to 6 month's running costs, in line with sector guidelines. The general unrestricted funds balance at 31 March, 2025 was £5,625 (2024: £3,745 negative reserves). The main creditor (HMRC payroll taxes) is being repaid under a payment plan (refer to note 1b of the financial statements in terms of our going concern assessment).

Review of Financial Year

The excess of income over expenditure for the year was £16,992 (2024: excess expenditure over income £48,651).

A detailed analysis of restricted and unrestricted funds is shown at note 9 to the accounts.

PATCHWORK RECOVERY COMMUNITY SCIO NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year.

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements are presented in sterling (£) and have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). Patchwork Recovery Community SCIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). Preparation of accounts accounts on a going concern basis The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the charity will continue to operate for a period of 12 months from the date of approval by the Board of Trustees. The charity is reliant on external grant funding and, while the Trustees have no reason to believe that adequate funding will not continue, the charity's ability to continue in business is dependent on being successful in attracting such funding. During the 2023/24 year funding was significantly reduced by a principal funder which led to a shortfall in our required funding. Consequently, the manager's post was terminated (continuing on a voluntary basis as noted in the Trustees’ Report). In addition, a number of other posts were terminated during the 2023/24 fiscal year. This also resulted in arrears of HMRC liabilities (note 8) which are currently being settled by way of an agreed payment plan. The current financial position has improved and the Trustees remain positive that the charity will continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.

(b) Preparation of accounts accounts on a going concern basis

(c) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes.

Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or grantor. Transfers between funds are made at the discretion of the trustees taking into consideration any restrictions imposed on funds.

(d) Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and it is probable that the income will be received. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: Income from donations & legacies is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a special performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts. Investment income is included when received.

Income from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

(e) 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.

Governance costs includes those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examiner's fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity which are voluntary other than trustees’ travelling expenses reimbursed. Although disclosed separately at note 9 governance costs now form part of charitable expenditure (page 2) under the current SORP.

(f) Fixed assets

Fixed assets (excluding investments) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Minor additions costing below £500 are not capitalised.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life which take into consideration expected residual values in accordance with FRS102. - Computer and Office Equipment 25% on a Straight line basis

(g) Hire purchase and leasing commitments Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and joss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

(h) Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The cost of contributions are written off against profits in the year they are payable.

(i) Other basic financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

(j) Cash at bank and in hand

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

(k) Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

(Il) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions 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 provisions are normally recognised at their settlement

(m) Deferred income

Grants received in advance of the associated work being carried out are deferred only when the donor has imposed preconditions on the expenditure of resources.
