3 The prevention or relief of poverty by providing food and other services. 4 The advancement of health and the saving of lives through support for people in addiction, e.g., through placements in Christian rehabilitation centres.
- Run a weekly drop-in facility in Perth, offering food and drink, social interaction, support.
- Provision of food and second-hand clothes and other items for facility users in need (all free of charge).
Supporting those in recovery and ex-offenders.
- Practical training, e.g. cookery skills & wood work craft.
Advocacy Service for vulnerable adults.
Engagement in social activities for service users and practical help.
Achievements and performance Summary of the main achievements of VOLUNTEERS: We have increased our volunteer base from 8 to 12 the charity during the financial period . volunteers.
U-TURN: In the summer of 2024 we had to re-evalue the direction of our charity, as we noticed that more and more service users came to partake in the free meals, but were neither in need of food, nor engaging with those, whom we originally set out to serve. Even worse, these people put some people with addictive behaviour off from coming. We arranged a number of team meetings, as there were split opinions about this issue. We came to the conclusion to revert back to our original calling to serve those with life-controlling problems. Our plan was to stop serving food during the summer months and meet in the South Inch. This had the desired effect and we resumed our dropin meetings at a different time (Tuesday evening).
FOOD DONATIONS: Inspired by the Still Waters food van, we managed to get left-over food from Baynes bakeries in Letham and Dunkeld Road that we pick up and distribute on Tuesday evenings.
MANNA HOUSE: On the 224 August 2024 a new chapter opened for us, as we miraculously received a text message from the owner of the Manna House at 240 High Street in Perth, whom we had never met beforehand. We had been praying for a long time that we would get these premises for our charity. Exactly one year before this text message,J received a prophetic picture of the doors of the Manna House opening. As we visited the premises, two people independently confirmed this miracle. With such clear confirmation to use this building, we started to lease 240 High Street on the 1* October 2024. Our first drop-in session was on the 15" October 2024.

Trustees Report Perth Hope Hub 2025

RENOVATION WORKS at 240 High Street:
We carried out several works to make the space safer and more usable:
- Legionella testing of water system
- Cleaning of premises, incl. carpet cleaning
- Fixing of plumbing leaks
- Testing and replacement of fire extinguishers
- Re-instating ceiling in office space
- Installing of sliding doors to separate the meeting space from the café
- Installing a partition towards the kitchen to avoid safety risks
- Sealing gaps in the first floor roof that had caused water damage
- Clearing the roof and gutter at the back that caused water damage
- Preparation for the installation of a ventilation system (MVHR)
- Paint works and various smaller repair works
- Fixing a broken ceiling in the meeting room
- Exchanging 22x faulty emergency lights
- Exchanging the outdated electrical consumer board
- Electrical safety test
- Replacement of broken heating pump and room thermostat
- Combi boiler service and clean-out.
- Obtaining sofas and upholstered chairs
- Installation of projector and temporary PA system
- Adjusting the bar area for better access
- Adjusting and fitting kitchen worktops
The works were carried out by professionals, by our volunteers and partly
also with the help of our service users.
WARM SPACE:From November to March 2025 we opened our door three
times a week as part of the Warm Welcome Fund:
- Tuesday evening for the recovery drop-in,
- Thursday evening for a games night and
- Saturday for a community lunch.
-
We entertained 1169 people/ visits this year,several of them were
regular comers.
UNITY CAFÉ: By another miracle we got in touch with Kim Byron of the
P&K IDART team, who was interested in using the Manna House for
their recovery work. We agreed that her group can use the café space
for a drop-in café on Fridays and Saturdays.
On Saturdays they also hold a Cocaine Anonymous meeting in our
premises. As we aim to serve the same clients, this co-operation with
the Unity Café will benefit both groups.
REHAB: We helped one service user to get into residential rehab (the
Haven in Kilmacolm). Unfortunately, he dropped out twice, but got into
another rehab (Be-Strong Project).
We also encouraged two more service users throughout their detox.
CLOTHES and HOUSEHOLD ITEMS: We obtained a number of clothes
and household items from a closing charity shop in Leslie and from
other sources. We have dedicated a room for these items, which are
available free of charge for those in need.
WOOD WORK WORKSHOP:As we have now obtained the suitable
space, we have applied for funding for setting up a wood workshop
and received part of this grant. We prepared the space and are raising
awareness of the start of our program.

Trustees Report Perth Hope Hub 2025

OTHER SUPPORT ACTIVITIES:

We helped three service users with their moves.
- We organised a bonfire night with some service users. - We helped a service user with housing, by attending P&K council meetings and also by paying for a night in a hotel.
- We had a Christmas meal for those without family. It was organised in co-operation with Swarthick Salins from Bethany Christian Trust. 23 people attended the meal.
- We prepared food for a number of hungry people out with our normal opening times.
- We helped one trusted service user in a desperate financial situation with a loan of a larger sum of money.
- We organised two Non-denominational Praise Nights in our new premises.
- We invited several people to give testimony of their story of recovery and had live music for the Recovery drop-in. This was very well received.
- Sadly, a volunteers found one of our service users dead in his flat. We supported family and friends in this difficult time and during the funeral. The wake was held in our premises.
- We held a birthday party for one of our service users in our premises. - We met with a few service users for walks, shopping or helped clean up their homes.

CO-OPERATION: The Havila Project from Arbroath came to visit us twice, in order to get some inspiration. JUNCTION 42: In continuation with the contact with Junction 42, attended their training event in Edinburgh and applied for the PHH to become a new Connect community for ex-offenders, those with addictive behaviours and other life-controlling challenges. The vision and spirit behind the Connect network is very much aligned with ours. On top of this, being part of such network would open up more avenues of mutual support and more professional input. Subsequently we visited the Carlisle and Newcastle Connect groups with a few of our volunteers. came on the 21[st] January 2025 to our Drop-in to give testimony about his recovery story. It was a blessed evening with prayer for several people. The challenge was to identify a lead church, which would team up with us in the J42/ Connect Community. BETHANY CHRISTIAN TRUST: We are in conversation with about their Connect to Community program for supporting ex prisoners. 24-7 PRAYER: We are also in touch with to establish an inter-denominational 24-7 prayer space in our Hub.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Perth Hope Hub

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 5[th] April 2025 which are set out on pages 4 to 13.

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 relevant accounting regulations.

The charity trustees consider that an audit requirement does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination is 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. 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 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

to keep accounting records in accordance with the Regulations
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the Regulations

have not been met, or

to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
