Structure, Governance and Management
Constitution
The Charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (a SCIO). It was registered in its current legal form on 01/07/2023. It has a single tier structure and as such the trustees are the members of the charity.
Appointment of trustees
The management committee, which normally meet once a month, are the charity’s trustees.
Trustees are elected at the annual general meeting which is ordinarily held in September.
There must be a minimum of four and a maximum of eight trustees.
Objectives and Activities
Charitable purposes
The Trust sees its task to be opening up funding, support and prayer for the sake of growing Christian faith in younger people. In the constitution a number of interlocking strands are referenced, namely
-
to offer children, young people and younger adults opportunities for Christian discipleship and spiritual growth
-
to attend to physical needs and to mental well-being as an intrinsic part of spiritual development
2
-
to offer children and young people learning opportunities in personal, moral and social education, which would include work in schools and in pupils' free time
-
to support and enhance family life, always with attention to individual circumstances and including the full range of family groupings
-
to promote ways in which children, young people and younger adults may support one another and put something into the wider community
-
while upholding Christian faith in its fullness, to uphold equally the need for good coexistence with those of different persuasion. The outreach will be open to all.
Activities
During the first year of the Trust’s existence, the priority need of appointing someone full-time to front the task became clear. In that process an Agreement was forged with Scripture Union Scotland that for the sake of employing a Youth and Children’s Worker we would operate as an Associate Trust with Scripture Union Scotland. This was seen to be mutually beneficial.
On that basis a post was advertised and an appointment made: the person started work on 1[st] October 2024. A representative of Scripture Union Scotland joined in with supervisory sessions and the Worker was able to access a wide range of training and support opportunities via Scripture Union Scotland. All funding however continued to come in voluntarily and directly to the GYC Trust.
The Worker became involved in outreach and service in local schools, within Cairnlea Church and in the village communities around Airdrie – for the sake of growing Christian faith amongst children and young people. Existing contacts were enhanced, new contacts made and various new ventures were opened up. Both within school time and in extra-curricular activities, an impact was made on the children and young people of the area.
Regrettably, however, the Trust reports that the employment of this particular Worker finished at the end of July 2025, due notice having been given at the end of June. The Trustees entered into a period of reflection and reassessment so as to establish what the next steps might be.
Financial review
All our income has been via charitable donation from individuals in the form of unrestricted giving (£14,940 in 2024-5 ; £26166 in 2023-24). The support of Cairnlea Parish Church in opening up facilities and office space, and giving the lead in terms of providing a network of volunteers, has been greatly appreciated.
A donation (£1503) was made to Scripture Union Scotland in recognition of its administrative support, not least in regards of payroll management, and the extensive input towards training and opening up support networks for the Worker.
For one of the innovative ventures fronted by the Worker, application was made successfully on behalf of the Trust for a small grant from North Lanarkshire Council (£2000)

Reserves policy
The Worker was initially offered with confidence a three-year contract at the point that something close to one full year’s salary was already available for spending. The Trustees are hugely grateful for individuals’ generosity. Donations have continued to come in even as the Worker moved towards the end of his appointment, in the prayerful hope that another appointment will be able to be made.
Plans for future period
With a continuing agreement that the appointment of a full-time Worker would be the best way to forward the aims of the Trust, the Trustees will seek to appoint wisely and well. Voluntary giving will no doubt continue to be an important source of income, but where possible the Trustees also intend to investigate other funding streams such as grants to supplement this.
Consideration will also be given to possibly expanding the Trustee base, for the sake of drawing in extra relevant expertise.
[Accounts follow – see separate file]
1 Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared on the Receipts and Payments basis in accordance with the Charities & Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended)
2 Nature and purpose of funds
Unrestricted funds are those that may be used at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. The trustees maintain a single unrestricted fund for the day-to-day running of the club. Restricted funds may only be used for specific purposes. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for specific purposes. During the year the charity received no restricted donations.
3 Related party transactions
The Club's insurance policy includes Trustee Indemnity Insurance for all its trustees. No other remuneration was paid to the trustees or any connected persons during the year.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Growing Young Cairnlea
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2025 which are set out on pages 1 to 6.
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 trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. 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 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 attention 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 to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts 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.
