Our purpose and vision remain as follows:
Purpose: To prevent the needless loss of young lives through suicide and self-harm whilst promoting mental wellbeing

Kilt walk

Independent Fundraising: Community and Donations

365 days of running, walking, swimming, climbing, race, bingo, quiz nights, boxing, Drag Bingo, golf, bowling, darts, pool, mountain climbs, extreme sports endeavours, cold water douks and Caterpillar Cake to name but a few!
At Megan's Space, we believe in the power of compassion and community to drive meaningful change. It is through the dedication of our donors, partners, and volunteers that we continue to make a profound impact on the lives of children and young people across our region.
The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity. and the wider society
-Client demand continues to increase, doubling each year.
-The Safe , effective and speedy provision of support remains our top priority and sustainability of resources to meet this demand is also a top trustee priority.
-On average we achieve 4-5 point increase in mood score. For example, client on presentation is a low mood score of 3 at end of session they are reporting a positive general mood score of 8.
-We pride ourselves on our ability to see clients quickly and we continue to respond to inbound enquiries, generally within 2 working days, often on the same day.
-After an initial triage call clients are matched to a suitable practitioner and are generally seen within a week.
-We continue to be able to operate without a waiting list.
-As the root cause of much of the mental disease is as a result of a perceived negative significant event ergo trauma, we have ensured that all of our practitioners have trauma recovery experience.
Since the inception of the charity, we have provided 1362 mental health support packages to 873 clients.
-As we are keen to provide a preventative service and are willing to see clients at the early stage of low mood, anxiety or behavioural challenges we are able to safely step 50% of clients down after one package of care: £300.
-Where there is a need for additional support this averages at 8 sessions equating to approximately £450 of support.

Overall, the charity has a surplus to report in the year of £25,359.
Primarily through Spirit Aerospace making the Charity a partner throughout the year (£63.7K) and income received through formally applied for grants (£77K), the charity's income generation is £150K higher than the prior year at £224k.
The charity continues to apply for local grants of which £30K has been received in the year. Other main sources of income include and fundraising activities (27K) and donations received from individuals and companies (£30k).
The increase in income generation in the year has allowed for additional expenditure to support young people in the community. Total expenditure for the year is £127K higher than the prior year at £199K.
Client support remains the charity's largest expense and represents 83% of the total expenditure in the year (94% in the prior year).
To support the application for larger grants, the Charity has continued to use professional support throughout the year at a cost of £10K. The income received from this cost is £77K, meaning that for every £1 spent on professional support, the Charity has received £8 in successful grant applications in the year.
The Trustees of the Board remain focused on ensuring that every pound spent is scrutinised and is in the best interests of the Charity and supporting our young people.
The trustees did not receive any remuneration nor expenses throughout the year.

Megan's Space SCIO Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
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)
In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to :-
-
to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of
-
recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
This report was approved by the board of trustees on 13 December 2025.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charity on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity on pages 12 to 27 for the year ended 31 March 2025 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 15,
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report
As described on page 9, you, the charity's Trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulations 10(1) (a) to (c) of the The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 44(1)(c) of the Act;
b) follow the applicable procedures in the Regulation 11 of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and in accordance with theguidance given by The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and;
Cc) state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken
and;
| conducted my examination in accordance with the Regulation 11 of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and in accordance with theguidance given by The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator, setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and of the accounting systems employed by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide
Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, | express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
| planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report | obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion
Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:-
and that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner in accordance with that section by virtue of my being a qualified member of Association of Accounting Technicians;
This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 44(1)(c) of the Act and in accordance with Regulation 11 of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and in accordance with theguidance given by The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator which may be applicable;
and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by with Section 44(1)(a) of The Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005; when preparing accounts ona fully accrued basis, to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act and the Regulations setting out the form and content of charity accounts;
have been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP).
have not been met or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in my report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
1 Accounting policies
Policies relating to the production of the accounts.
Basis of preparation and accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) , effective January 2016, , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration
Going Concern
The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations as well as trading revenues. As a consequence, the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly, the Trustees have obtained forecasts and, after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods to 31 December 2025, the Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements, Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainites about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Risks and future assumptions
The charity is a public benefit entity.
The trustees continually review and assess the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed, including health & safety, financial and operational risks.
Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.
Nature of income
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following polices are applied to particular categories of income.
Categories of Income
Voluntary income 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 specific 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. Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.
Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable.
Income recognition
Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity's assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.
Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.
All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.
Recognition of liabilities and expenditure
A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised whena legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.. Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.
Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.

Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds, investment properties and similar investments are shown initially at cost upon acquisition and at their market value at the balance sheet date at the end of the financial period. Investment properties are not depreciated,
Fixed asset investments in unlisted equities are shown at the balance sheet date at the best estimate of their market value, where practicable. Where valuation techniques are considered unreliable or where, in the opinion of the trustees, the costs outweigh the benefits to the users of the accounts, the investment is included at cost, and a review is undertaken at each year end as to whether the asset should be written down,
All gains on fixed asset investments, whether realised or unrealised, are included in row B4 of the Statement of Financial Activities.
Debtors
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
Creditors and provisions
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities are measured initially at the transaction value, net of transaction costs and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Cash and bank balances
Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
There are no designated funds
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.
There are no endowment funds.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
- 2 Liability to taxation
The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities,
3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
- 4 Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position
There are no significant implications of such matters.
