**Active Seniors SCIO Reference and Administration Details For the year ended 31 March 2026** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

Active Seniors was formed in February 2004 and was recognized as a Scottish Charity with effect from 19[th] August 2008 and the charity is governed by its constitution.  On the 28[th] February 2023 Active Seniors’ application to OSCR to become a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) was successful.  All assets were transferred from the existing charity Active Seniors SC039798 to the new one Active Seniors SCIO SC052357.  In November 2023 OSCR acknowledged the dissolution of Active Seniors – SC039798. 

Trustees are appointed under the terms of the constitution by the members at the AGM.  There were eleven trustees in 25-26. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The objects of the Association shall be to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of The North West Community Health Partnership Area without distinction of sex, sexuality, political, religious or other opinions by associating the local statutory authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities, or assist in the provision of facilities, in the interest of social welfare for recreation and other leisure-time occupation so that their conditions of life may be improved. 

In furtherance of the above object the Association shall have the following aims: 

- a) To promote events for seniors in the North West Area Community Health Partnership Area of Glasgow. b) To consult with seniors on service provision and their needs. c) To promote and encourage development opportunities for educational, physical and social activities for seniors. 

- d) To consult on representative structures for seniors in the North West Area of the City 

## **KEY MANAGEMENT REMUNERATION** 

In the opinion of the trustees, there is one member of management, the Development Officer.  During the year total employer costs were £14,418 (2025: £12,694), the current member of staff is employed p/t at 16 hours per week. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

During 2025/26 1495 seniors attended our events, our monthly social attracted an average of 80 people and our day trips an average of 48. 

We have 160 regular members; 19 men and 141 women aged from 61 to 97. In addition to the 160 we have many nonmembers who come to our monthly free access socials where we have live music and dancing.  Many of our members have health issues such as arthritis, diabetes as well as heart and respiratory conditions, so getting out of the house and keeping active helps keep them healthy and active. 

Managing access to some events through membership enables us to keep in touch with people on a regular basis, maximise our limited resources, and book and plan events. The majority of our events are free, unless we feel the cost per person is over what we would normally budget, in these cases we ask for a small contribution per person towards the cost. 

## **HIGHLIGHTS FROM ACTIVITIES IN 2025/26** 

Our programme this year offered a vibrant mix of outings, social events, and wellbeing activities. We enjoyed memorable trips to **Ayr, Largs, Balloch, Rothesay, Peebles, Culzean Castle, and Perth** , along with visits to the **Mackintosh Willow Tea Rooms** , **Hampden** , and indoor bowling sessions. Members took part in **wellness workshops** , **canal boat trips** , and even **AI learning sessions** , reflecting our commitment to varied and enriching experiences. Our large themed socials — celebrating **Easter** , **Burns Night** , **Country & Western** , **Halloween** , and **Christmas** — continued to be hugely popular, bringing the community together through music, dancing, and shared enjoyment. We also hosted a **community pantomime** attended by **150 seniors** , and our **Macmillan Coffee Afternoon** raised an

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF Active Seniors SCIO** 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026 set out on pages 7 to 8. 

## **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)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply; neither are the accounts required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. 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 Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). 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 seeking explanations from you as 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 connection with 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 (as amended); and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended). 

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.
