Structure, governance and management
Type of governing document Trustee recruitment and appointment

	YCYS is governed by its board of trustees, who meet regularly to oversee operations, compliance, and strategic planning. Risk management is embedded in decision-making, with particular attention to phased insurance cover, safeguarding, and health and safety compliance. Trustees are committed to transparent reporting and alignment with OSCR’s regulatory requirements.

	Trustees were appointed at establishment in August 2024 in line with the constitution, and future recruitment will be through open calls to ensure appropriate skills, diversity, and compliance with OSCR duties.

Objectives and activities
Charitable purposes Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects

	During its first operational period, YCYS advanced its charitable purposes by hosting two community summer BBQ outreaches that fostered social inclusion and volunteer engagement.

Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any deficit Donated facilities and services (if any)

	As a newly established charity, YCYS has limited reserves at present. Trustees aim to build and maintain a prudent level of unrestricted reserves sufficient to cover at least three months of core operating costs, ensuring financial stability and continuity of services. The reserves position is reviewed annually in line with the charity’s growth and risk management needs.

	YCYS did not operate at a deficit during the financial period. Expenditure was proportionate to income and carefully managed to ensure financial stability.

	During the financial period, YCYS benefited from donated facilities and volunteer services, including the use of community spaces and in-kind support for outreach events. These contributions reduced costs and enabled wider community participation.

Independent Examlners Report Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Your Community Your Space (SC053549) I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 st March 2025 which are set out on the pages attached. 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. 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. Basls of Independent examiner's statement My examination is carried out in accordan 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 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 . 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. Date: 14th November 2025
