In furtherance of these objectives the organization will undertake the following activities: - (i) House vulnerable adults at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness in supported accommodation - (ii) Provide friendship, mentoring, life skills support, and access to training and work experience to all our residents thus enabling them to gain the skills they need to work in employment and to live independently in future - (iii) Offer Christian pastoral care where requested and where appropriate - (iv) Assist the residents with completion of government financial support applications, with accessing medical care, and with general life skills **Structure, governance, and management** Type of governing document: Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) 3 ## **Trustee recruitment and appointment** At the end of year 2024, we had 7 trustees (although now 5) Our current board of Trustees have diverse working experiences including a Retired Business & Social Care Manager, Business Owner/Managing Director, HGV Driver, Construction Manager, each bringing mixed life experiences and skills. ## **Achievements and Performance** Due to the latest government requirements concerning supported housing, this has continued to put a significant delay to our partner, Green Pastures’ further investments into supported housing projects in Scotland. And since we are inextricably linked with Green Pastures as our key source of funding for housing, it has put us in an indefinite holding pattern. Our last AGM was via zoom on 22[nd] Nov 2023. We discussed our current holding pattern and decided to hold tight and await news from Green Pastures > A discussion with Green Pastures Scotland representative, a , was had > by a in August 2024. At that time, the situation had not changed with and Green Pastures was still in their application process to become registered as a supported housing organisation in Scotland. > A further email discussion was had with a of Green Pastures on 21[st] Jan 2025, and no further news was provided except that Green Pastures are still committed to Scotland although only one project is actively running currently here, which is a project housing eight Ukrainian refugee families. The Green Pastures homeless housing project which was in Fife is on closing down mode. 4 ## **Staf** None ## **Volunteers** Currently none in addition to the board of trustees ## **Financial review** We began the year with a balance of £666.02, which is gradually being depleted by bank charges. We paid our Independent Examiner, KABS, the sum of £60 for preparation of our 2023 year end accounts. No other expenditure was made other than bank charges of £137.40 We have had no other income this year since we have carried out no activities, as yet. ## **Closing bank balance is £528.62** ## **Statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** The trustees will, when operating, aim to maintain free reserves in our Reserves Fund at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted expenditure. ## **Summary** Once again, no progress was made in 2024 at all, therefore, taking this into account plus the loss of our Chair and another trustee, it has been unanimously 5 agreed at the AGM on 4[th] Feb 2025, that Restore Stirling will seek to close down the charity with immediate effect due to the lack of progress in our partnership with Green Pastures, and thus our inability to purchase a first house of the homeless. It is felt that no progress can be made in it’s current form. **Declaraton** Signed on behalf of the charity trustees: Designation: ACTING CHAIRPERSON Date: 2[nd] Mar 2025 6 |**RESTORE STIRLING SC052050**||||| |---|---|---|---|---| |**SUMMARY - 1nov23 to 31oct24**||||| |**Carried forward**
