Structure, governance and management

Type of governing document The Wash House SCIO hasa constitution.

Our constitution is a written statement that sets out our purpose, structure and describes how we will operate. The trustees make sure that the charity complies with the constitution.

We last updated the constitution in May 2022 as part of our move to SCIO status and reviewed at the management meeting prior to our AGM in 2024.

Trustee recruitment and appointment Sections 58 to 60 of the Constitution cover nomination and appointment procedures.

During the financial year 2022/23 we moved to SCIO status and continued with our existing secretary, treasurer and chair during this transition. At our first AGM in 2023 we welcomed new members and appointed a wider group of trustees.

Serving councillors are invited to attend each meeting and do so when able.

Objectives and activities

Charitable purposes

The Wash House SCIO was established to advance education and to provide, or assist in the provision of, facilities for recreation or other leisure-time occupation where such provision or assistance in provision: a) is in the interest of social welfare; b) is made with the object of improving the conditions of life of the members of the community in the area of benefit; c) to advance citizenship and community development within the area of benefit. The building itself, and certain services, are provided by City of Edinburgh Council (CEC). The charity takes care of day to day management.

Summary of the main activities In 2024/25 we continued our post covid recovery, welcoming old groups in relation to these objects back to the facility and encouraging new ones. The groups and activities making use of the facilities in this time period included:

e Activities for children ages birth to tween from baby sensory classes to sports coaching to knitting for kids.
e Active, wellbeing and music based classes for adults. e Groups that meet a need in the community such as dog training. e Activities with strong social impact including AA and providing a warm and welcoming space in the winter.
e We became the home of the popular Screen Porty
