## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 


1)The advancement of citizenship or community development, through the education of communities in recognising and reporting the signs of human trafficking and how to support survivors. 

2)The advancement of human rights, conflict resolution or reconciliation through working with like-minded organisations to address and eliminate human trafficking in Scotland, primarily in Glasgow. 

Specifically, our aims are for more people in Glasgow to know about the human trafficking happening in their city and to be able to spot and report the signs and support survivors. We want Christians in Glasgow to be equipped and inspired to pray about human trafficking; and to raise local support that will galvanise politicians and the police to put energy and resource into eliminating human trafficking in Glasgow .

## ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE 


We dedicated a significant amount of time and energy campaigning for the “Unbuyable Bill”, the Prostitution (Offences and Support) (Scotland) Bill brought as a Member’s Bill by Ash Regan MSP. This was carried out in close partnership with Evangelical Alliance Scotland (EAS) and CARE. We were encouraged by the reach and traction gained by collaborative working in this area, and feel that we contributed to moving the issue of commercial sexual exploitation up the political agenda. We also gained valuable contacts and connections through our work with EAS, CARE and within the Parliament. 

We marked World Day Against Trafficking in Persons 2025 by handing out information materials on Buchanan Street, Glasgow. We met with two Glasgow MPs, Martin Rhodes and John Grady, to spread the word about combatting human trafficking and supporting the Unbuyable Bill, and we also addressed MSPs at a lunchtime event in October 2024, together with EAS and CARE. 

Our Development Manager, Angela, took part in the Tideline Festival and the Reap and Sew Market, selling crafts to raise funds and also distributing information about Restore Glasgow and human trafficking. 

In 2024-25 we delivered training to the Volunteer Trainers Organisation, Glasgow City Mission and the Glasgow Night Shelter. We also made our 

6 



booklet “What Can I Do about Human Trafficking?” available online as a PDF and distributed hard copies to contacts and at training events. 

We partnered with SOHTIS to record the story of a sex-trafficking survivor, “Anna”, with a view to using this in events and media for awareness raising and to build compassion. At Christmas we co-ordinated a large collection of toiletries for Migrant Help to distribute to trafficking survivors, and through this activity we developed a relationship with Harvest Church, who helped to pack the donations. 

We continued our regular routine of monthly prayer meetings, and in February 2025 took part in a joint event with 24-7 Prayer and International Justice Mission as part of IJM’s “Pray for Justice” tour.

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF RESTORE GLASGOW, SC051492 

## On the accounts for the year ended 30 September 2024 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 30 September 2025 set out on pages 4 to 14. 

## 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)(d) of the 2006 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 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. 

9 



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. 

Independent examiner's statement 

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met; or 

- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a 

proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
