**Under One Rainbow Trustees’ Annual Report** 1[st] April 2024 - 31[st] March 2025 ## **Charity contact information** Under One Rainbow Scottish Charity Number: SC051734 **2** ## **Objectives and activities** To provide free support, information and a safe space for young people aged 25 and under who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Questioning, Queer, Intersex, Asexual+ (LGBTQIA+), or young people who are questioning their sexuality/gender or have friends or family members who are LGBTQIA+. The activities undertaken by the organisation are in direct recognition of the guidance issued by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR). **3** ## **Structure, governance and management** Type of governing document We are governed by our constitution. Trustees are elected at the AGM. We are a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO). Trustee recruitment and appointment The Trustees all have a background of interest in working in this field and are elected at the Annual General Meeting or appointed by the other Trustees. None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the charity. The Trustees meet regularly (online or in person) to oversee the running of the charity. Day to day operations is the responsibility of the trustees. Induction and training of Trustees is done on an informal basis, with professional help and guidance obtained where appropriate. The charity endeavours to work in partnership with similar organisations where appropriate. **4** ## **Achievements and performance** We provided LGBTQIA+ training to Angus council. This covered a number of different topics including language, statistics, information about our organisation, real life scenarios. It was well received, and we have been asked to deliver further training in the future. Many of our volunteers attended pride events in Dundee, Kirriemuir and Perth. We ran a stall at the Perth pride event. Kirrie Pride also raised money to support our organisation. Some of our volunteers went along to meet with the Equalities group at a high school based in Kirriemuir. It was great to speak with young people about what challenges they were experiencing as well as successes with progressing equality and access at their own school. Our volunteers attended an event in Forfar recognising the anniversary of the introduction of Same Sex marriage in Scotland. Our organisation was invited along to the Forfar Academy careers fair. We had a stall at the event and many of the young people and their guardians engaged with us to find out more about what we offer young people. We ran an internal survey with our volunteers and service users to understand exactly what their thoughts on our organisation was. This was really important to help shape exactly what we should do for the 24-25 period. A local funding group provided our charity with Christmas gifts we were able to share with our service users and a local single parent and her children. Under One Rainbow ran its first Forfar Youth Pride event in October 2024. We had numerous stalls selling a variety of different things, musical artists, a magician, speakers including a MSP, councillors, and the lord provost. Local businesses also contributed to our raffle which helped us raise money for the charity. It was well attended and well received. **5** ## **Stats** 7 new volunteers recruited 50 young people supported, either in person or online, or a mixture of both. **6** ## Financial review **----- Start of picture text -----**

Statement of the charity’s policy on reserves The Trustees have examined the requirement to maintain free reserves and feel that given the current financial climate that a minimum of 6 months operational costs should be retained in reserves. We have £3000 ringfenced within designated funds for this purpose. This would cover 6-months of running costs based on the expenditure of 2024/25. The charity’s main sources of income come from charitable trusts with an interest in the underlying work of the charity, as well as from government bodies, local businesses, and individuals. The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The major risk to the charity is ensuring the continuity of funding for its projects. The Trustees consider that this can be mitigated by ensuring that funders are satisfied with the service delivery provided. The Trustees also aim to secure funding from a range of donors so that reliance is not placed upon one source of funds. 7] Donated facilities and services We have received funds from a local community funder which has allowed us to provide services to those who are vulnerable within our community. **8** ## **Future plans** We plan to run our second Forfar Youth Pride event following the success of the first one. The charity has recognised that although there is pride events located across Scotland, there is only one event currently being held within Angus, that being Kirrie Pride, but nothing has ever been held in Forfar. We have already consulted with our volunteers and service users to gauge what appetite there would be for this event, and we have received an overwhelming positive response. The plan for our first event will be to hold it indoors during October 2024. We will continue fundraising with the hope of receiving funding to run youth clubs in Forfar and the surrounding areas for young LGBTQIA+ people. **9** Signed on behalf of the charity trustees: — ## Declaration **----- Start of picture text -----**
