## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2025** 

The trustees who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

Meeting Centres Scotland was granted charitable status in 27 September 2023. 

## **What is a Meeting Centre?** 

A Meeting Centre is a unique and holistic community hub designed to cater to the diverse needs of those affected by dementia. It goes beyond traditional care models, offering a warm and welcoming environment where individuals with dementia can participate in a range of activities that promote well-being, social connection, and personal growth. Meeting Centres are an evidence-based model initially developed in the Netherlands. The first centre in Scotland opened in 2019, and there are now Meeting Centres open and developing across the country. 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The aim of the charity is the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended. The advancement of human rights, conflict resolution or reconciliation, the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **April 2024 – March 2025** 

Meeting Centres Scotland (MCS) has experienced a year of significant growth, innovation, and influence. With support from the Scottish Government’s Dementia Policy Unit under the Resilient Communities Programme Board, we have expanded our reach, deepened impact, and enhanced our support to people living with dementia and their families across Scotland. 

## **Strengthening the Network** 

MCS now directly supports 23 Meeting Centres across Scotland, ensuring coverage in a wide range of communities, including urban, rural, coastal, and island areas. Through dedicated Development Leads for both the East and West Coasts and the appointment of a Strategic Advisor, we have improved localised support and strategic direction. 

Seed funding totalling £120,000 has been committed to help establish new Centres in partnership with trusted local organisations. These include sites in North and South Lanarkshire, Argyll and Bute, the Scottish Borders, Edinburgh and Dumfries and Galloway. Each new Centre reflects the diversity of Scotland’s communities and will deliver dementia support that is place-based, inclusive, and intergenerational. 

## **Building Capacity and Quality** 

MCS has invested in comprehensive training and development programmes for staff and volunteers across the network. New modules—many co-produced by people with lived experience—cover trauma-informed practice, communication strategies, and activity facilitation. A new digital resource library is under development, providing Centres with accessible templates, activity guides, and case studies. 

We also launched _The Network_ , our quarterly newsletter, which has become a key platform for peer learning and knowledge exchange. A draft monitoring and evaluation framework is currently being trialled with Centres at different stages of development to ensure it is robust, flexible, and practical before formal adoption across the network. 

## **Policy and Influence** 

Meeting Centres Scotland continues to play a national leadership role in advocating for community-based dementia care. We contributed to policy development forums, including various subgroups around the implementation of the current Scottish Dementia Strategy, and are working with regional health and social care partnerships to embed Meeting Centres in local strategies.

Our approach to human rights-based dementia care was showcased at the UK Dementia Congress, where we presented a keynote speech about MCS, the Scottish Government's _Everyone’s Story_ national strategy and the _Rethink Dementia_ campaign, drawing praise and attention from delegates across the UK. 

## **Major Projects and Partnerships** 

This year also saw the launch and development of several high-profile projects: 

**Royal Victoria Hospital Meeting Centre** : The world’s first hospital-based Meeting Centre, in partnership with NHS Tayside and the University of Worcester. The centre will combine peer support with improved discharge planning and student training. 

**International Meeting Centres Conference** : We secured funding to host a global conference in Dundee in May 2025, bringing together experts and practitioners from around the world to celebrate innovation and exchange best practice. 

**The Demented Poets Documentary** : A creative storytelling project featuring the voices of people living with dementia, submitted to several film festivals and being considered by broadcasters. 

**Primary Progressive Aphasia Guidebook** : A Scottish adaptation of Natalie Ive’s internationally recognised guide, coproduced with people living with PPA and allied health professionals, which will also serve as the foundation for a new peer support group. 

## **Future Plans** 

Our pending Climate Wisdom project, developed in partnership with development support charity Outside the Box and Heriot-Watt University, will explore the intersection of dementia and climate change through community-based, dementia-friendly climate action. This groundbreaking work promises to position Scotland as a global leader in inclusive sustainability 

Overall, 2024–2025 has been a transformative year for Meeting Centres Scotland. Our model continues to gain momentum, influence policy, and create lasting impact in the lives of people with dementia and those who care for them. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial overview** 

Overall reserves have increased by £46,443 during the year to 31 March 2025. Total income in the year was £371,268 an increase on the prior year by £246,268 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees aim to maintain a reserve of unrestricted funds, which is sufficient to meet 3 months' running costs for the charity, with an aspiration to hold 6 months' running costs. 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

At 31 March 2025, unrestricted reserves totalled £59,685.

## **Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Meeting Centres Scotland** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 5 to 14 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) 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) (a) to (c) 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 

1. that in any material respect the requirements: 

a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations 

- b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts 

- Regulations 

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.

## **Meeting Centres Scotland** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2025** 

## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Companies Act 2006. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£). 

## **Change in accounting policies and prior year adjustments** 

The company has adopted the Charities SORP for the first time this year, as income has exceeded £250,000. Prior year financial statements were prepared on a receipts basis. Accordingly, fixed assets were not capitalised. Debtors and Creditors had not been included. The comparative figures have been restated to include Fixed Assets, which had a net book value at 31 March 2024 of £938, Prepayments of £983 and creditors of £3,924. The net impact was reducing reserves by £2,003 and increasing expenditure by the same amount. 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the trustees believe to be appropriate for the reasons set out in the Trustee's Report. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

The company considers on an annual basis the judgements that are made by management when applying significant accounting policies that would have the most significant effect on amounts that are recognised in the financial statements. The trustees consider there are no such significant judgements. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

8 

Docusign Envelope ID: D1E39218-22BC-4F2D-9607-3AA1D0B91DA7 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Charitable activities** 

Costs of charitable activities are incurred on the charity's core operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Computer equipment - 33.33% on cost 

Motor vehicles - 25% on cost 

Office equipment - 25% on cost 

Fixed assets are included in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. 

No assets with a gross value of less than £100 are capitalised. These items have been treated as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **Impairment of tangible fixed assets** 

Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. When the carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

## **Unrestricted funds** 

They can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

9 

Docusign Envelope ID: D1E39218-22BC-4F2D-9607-3AA1D0B91DA7 

## **Restricted funds** 

They can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

## **Transfers between funds** 

With regard to the use of both restricted and designated funds, the release represents an amount which matches the expenditure incurred in the year in respect of the relevant purpose of each fund. Transfers are made between funds for identified internal transactions such as staff training where funds are moved from unrestricted core income to a designated training fund. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity only enters into financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable. 

Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year. Typically trade debtors or trade creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. 

Financial assets measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for evidence of impairment and if found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. 

Cash and cash equivalent includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other financial institutions. 

## **Leasing commitments** 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they are incurred over the term of the lease. 

## **Pension commitments** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme . The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The amount charged against the Statement of Financial Activities represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period. 

## **Donated assets** 

Donated assets received by the charity are capitalised and recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year they are received. 

The basis of valuation is the price the charity estimates it would pay in the open market for goods of equivalent utility. 

## **VAT** 

The company is not registered for VAT. Expenses are therefore shown inclusive of VAT in the financial statements.
