TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL UPDATE – Create Your Dream SCIO (SC053790)
1. About Create Your Dream SCIO
Create Your Dream SCIO is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SC053790), registered in Cardonald, Glasgow. Although our registered address is based in Cardonald, all of our work is delivered through outreach across Glasgow and surrounding local authority areas. This model enables young people to receive support within their own environments, promoting comfort, accessibility and continued engagement.
2. Charitable Purposes, Mission and Activities
Our mission is to support young people aged 15–25 who are experiencing major life transitions. Many are affected by mental health challenges, neurodiversity, disability, or financial hardship. We deliver Life Coaching, Person-Led Planning and Financial Wellbeing Guidance, with flexible outreach support for young people, families and carers.
3. Structure, Governance and Management
Create Your Dream SCIO is overseen by a voluntary Board of Trustees responsible for strategic leadership, compliance with charity law, financial oversight, and longterm direction. Trustees meet regularly throughout the year to review operations, approve budgets, monitor risks, and ensure activities remain aligned with the charity’s purposes. New trustees are appointed in accordance with our constitution and provided with an induction covering OSCR duties, safeguarding, financial controls, and policy awareness.
4. Current Challenges
Demand continues to rise, resulting in a waiting list and the need to decline three parental engagement events due to capacity limitations. Investment in staffing and long-term sustainability is essential.

Case Studies
20[th] November 2024
to 31[st] March 2026
Case Study: Life Coaching Support & ILF Application
Introduction
This report outlines the case study of Alex, who was referred to our service for Life Coaching support. It summarises their background, referral process, engagement with our service, the transition through cancer treatment, and their subsequent application to the Independent Living Fund (ILF) Transition Fund. The report also highlights the goals, planned resources, and expected long-term outcomes that supported Alex on their journey toward independence and improved wellbeing.
Background
Alex is a young person with multiple complex needs, including Autism, mental health challenges, and physical health issues resulting from a previous road traffic accident. They also underwent treatment for cancer, adding considerable emotional and physical strain. These combined challenges contributed to barriers in education and social inclusion, leading to Alex withdrawing from college due to a decline in their mental health.
Referral and Engagement Timeline
Alex was initially referred to our service by Skills Development Scotland in February 2025, with the aim of providing structured Life Coaching support to help them identify goals, rebuild confidence, and begin planning for a positive future.
Shortly after their referral, Alex required time away from support to undergo further cancer treatment. They returned to us in November 2025, once they felt strong enough to re-engage with coaching and start focusing again on their personal development.
Life Coaching Impact
From November 2025 onward, Alex engaged well with Life Coaching sessions. Through this work, they explored their strengths, interests, and aspirations, including a renewed ambition to return to college to pursue their passion for design. The coaching process helped Alex rebuild confidence, address low self-esteem, and develop strategies for managing social anxiety. This created a solid foundation for planning longer-term goals.
ILF Application Details
Following their successful re-engagement with coaching, we supported Alex in submitting an application to the ILF Transition Fund. The application centred on accessing resources that would strengthen Alex’s motivation, support their education goals, and enhance both physical and mental wellbeing.
Goals
Alex’s key goals included:
-
Rebuilding confidence and independence.
-
Returning to college and developing a strong design portfolio.
-
Improving physical health following cancer recovery and previous injuries.
-
Reconnecting socially and reducing isolation.
• Establishing positive, sustainable routines.
Planned Resources
The ILF application included requests for:
-
Art supplies to support creative development and portfolio building.
-
A Udemy membership for online preparation courses.
-
A gaming laptop to help Alex reconnect with peers and reduce isolation.
-
Gym access with rehabilitation-focused personal training to support physical recovery and build confidence.
Progress by March 2026
By March 2026, Alex had begun moving forward significantly with their aspirations and career aims. They were actively developing their creative skills, re-establishing social connections, improving their physical health, and taking meaningful steps toward returning to education.
Expected Long-Term Impact
With access to the requested supports, Alex is well positioned to develop lasting skills, confidence, and independence. Their continued progress is expected to support successful re-entry into education, sustained improvements in wellbeing, and the ability to maintain positive social connections. Alex’s journey demonstrates the powerful impact of early intervention, person-led support, and targeted funding in improving outcomes for young people with complex needs.

Calum
Background
Calum is a 19-year-old care-experienced young person who currently lives independently in his own tenancy with support from Social Work and Key Housing. Adopted as a baby, Calum has always known about his adoption, and this has formed a significant part of his identity development as he moved into adulthood. Alongside this, Calum has a diagnosis Autism and general cognitive difficulties, which influence how he processes emotions, relationships and major life transitions.
In recent years, Calum entered a period of rebellion and emotional conflict that led to a serious breakdown in his relationship with his adoptive parents. This estrangement has been deeply painful for him, leaving him without the family connection he once relied on. Despite these challenges, Calum has continued to attend further education, although at times his emotional wellbeing and circumstances placed this at risk.
When staff at his college became concerned about his wellbeing and his ability to cope, they reached out to Create Your Dream (CYD) to request additional support. This proactive step ensured Calum had the opportunity to explore what he needed to rebuild stability, confidence and direction.
Presenting Needs and Challenges
-
Difficulty managing emotions linked to adoption, identity and family estrangement.
-
Interpersonal and social challenges associated with Autism and cognitive processing differences.
-
Anxiety and anger that affected his ability to maintain friendships and positive peer relationships.
-
Confusion and distress around his sexuality, contributing to internal conflict and uncertainty.
-
Risk of disengagement from education due to emotional overwhelm and lack of stability.
These challenges have made Calum’s transition into adulthood more complex than that of many of his peers. However, despite these difficulties, he continues to demonstrate determination, insight and the capacity to reflect on what he needs to thrive.
Strengths and Resilience
Calum shows significant resilience through:
-
His continued commitment to education, even during emotionally turbulent periods.
-
His willingness to seek out calmer influences and rethink who he wants around him.
-
His ability to reflect on his behaviours, triggers and relationships.
-
His openness to exploring his identity, emotions and goals through person-led support.
-
His courage in taking steps toward repairing family relationships despite past hurt.
These strengths have helped shape a more hopeful, grounded direction for his future.
CYD Person-Led Planning Support
Through Person-Led Planning, Calum has been supported to explore what matters most to him and how he wants his life to look going forward. This approach gives Calum ownership over his goals, enabling him to set the pace and shape the direction of his journey.
During these sessions, Calum identified that he wants a much calmer and more stable lifestyle, intentionally seeking out calmer people, influences and environments. He recognised that the anger, anxiety and confusion he was experiencing—particularly around his adoption and sexuality—were directly affecting his mood, relationships and confidence.
CYD has supported Calum to:
-
Name the emotions and life experiences that were overwhelming him.
-
Understand how these experiences shaped his reactions and relationships.
-
Explore healthier ways of coping and responding to stress.
-
Build a clearer picture of the influences he wants in his life.
-
Identify goals that align with his values and sense of purpose.
Positive Progress and Decisions
Through this reflective work, Calum has made several important and mature decisions:
1. Seeking Mediation with His Adoptive Parents
After recognising how deeply the estrangement was affecting him, Calum decided he wants to pursue mediation to explore whether a safe, supported reconnection with his adoptive parents could be possible. This is a significant step that reflects courage, emotional growth and a desire for healing.
2. Re-engaging Fully with College
Calum has stabilised his attendance and engagement, recognising the importance of his education in building independence and future opportunities. He is once again managing coursework, routine and college expectations with more confidence.
3. Applying for an HNC in Social Care
Inspired by his lived experiences and increasing clarity about his future, Calum has made the decision to apply for an HNC in Social Care. He hopes to use his insight, empathy and journey to help others who face similar challenges, showing a strong sense of purpose and compassion.
Summary
Calum has faced significant emotional, relational and developmental challenges as a young care-experienced person navigating independence, identity and complex family dynamics. Despite this, he continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience, self-awareness and determination to build a calmer, more grounded and meaningful future.
Through Person-Led Planning with CYD, and with the ongoing support of Social Work, West College Scotland and Key Housing, Calum is now:
-
Making healthier decisions
-
Rebuilding stability
-
Strengthening his education pathway
-
Exploring identity with openness
-
Seeking healing within his family relationships
-
Preparing for a future career in social care
Calum’s journey is a powerful example of what young people can achieve when they are given space, support and the opportunity to lead their own planning in a way that honours their strengths, experiences and hopes for the future.
Toni
Background
Toni is a resilient young woman who is currently living independently in her own tenancy while studying for an HNC in Childcare at West College Scotland, Greenock. She has grown up in a care-experienced environment and has held a caring role for her mother from a young age. This responsibility continues to influence her emotional wellbeing, peer relationships and confidence. Toni experiences ongoing anxiety and trauma-related needs, yet she remains committed to her long-term goal of becoming a social worker and continues to perform well academically. Toni was referred to Create Your Dream by her Inverclyde Council Employability Worker for Life Coaching support.
Presenting Needs and Barriers
-
Toni experiences longstanding anxiety and trauma-related symptoms that reduce her confidence in social situations and make complex tasks—such as completing applications or navigating services—feel overwhelming.
-
She has intermittent contact with social work, with most previous involvement focusing on safeguarding processes rather than sustained emotional or therapeutic support.
-
There is currently no direct financial assistance from statutory services, limiting her access to practical supports that would otherwise reduce everyday stress.
-
Toni faces several practical barriers, including lack of personal transport, unreliable digital access, and limited affordable options for regular wellbeing and self-care activities.
Strengths and Protective Factors
-
Toni maintains a strong academic record and is progressing well in her HNC, demonstrating capacity for focus, learning and long-term planning.
-
She has a clear vocational ambition to pursue a career in social work, motivated by lived experience and a strong desire to support others.
-
She has an established professional relationship with Wilma (Inverclyde Council), who is actively supporting her with career planning, funding enquiries and benefits navigation.
-
Toni shows significant independence by maintaining her tenancy with minimal support, highlighting her resilience and practical life skills.
Agreed Plan and Supports (Currently in Place)
The ILF Transition Fund is now in place, and Toni is actively utilising the approved supports. These include:
-
Practical digital and mobility support : Toni now has an iPad with unlimited data, providing secure and reliable digital access for study, online applications and maintaining contact with professionals. She is also currently undertaking driving lessons, with her theory and practical tests scheduled, increasing her mobility and access to learning and work opportunities.
-
Health and wellbeing supports : Toni has an active gym pass and appropriate gym clothing, enabling her to build physical stamina, develop routine, and manage anxiety.
-
Career and skills development : Toni is completing a year-long volunteer placement with her local social work service. This placement offers real-world experience, helps clarify her career direction, and strengthens her university application through professional references.
-
Ongoing professional coordination : She continues to work closely with Wilma and college staff regarding funding, benefits, academic support and planning for next steps.
-
Person-centred planning and coaching : Toni is receiving ongoing support to develop her university personal statement, set structured goals, and access mental-health or counselling referrals when needed.
How the Intervention Is Changing Things
The supports currently in place are actively reducing barriers and enabling Toni to move forward with confidence.
-
Reliable digital access and unlimited data are improving Toni’s engagement with coursework, virtual tutorials, applications and communication with professionals—especially on days when in-person attendance is difficult.
-
Driving lessons are increasing her independence, reducing reliance on public transport, and broadening her access to placements, part-time work and social opportunities.
-
Regular gym use is strengthening her routine, improving her physical wellbeing and contributing to reduced anxiety levels.
-
Her volunteer placement in social work is allowing her to translate aspiration into experience while benefitting from mentoring, professional modelling and an increased sense of direction.
Expected Outcomes
-
Increased confidence and reduced isolation through structured volunteering, improved digital connectivity and regular physical activity.
-
Greater independence in accessing education, placements and employment opportunities as she progresses towards completing her driving qualification.
-
A strengthened university application supported by hands-on social work experience and tailored personal-statement support.
-
Improved emotional wellbeing through trauma-informed support, life coaching and increased peer and professional connection.
-
Continued tenancy stability supported by enhanced coping skills, budgeting abilities and improved coordination of services.
Summary
Toni demonstrates remarkable determination, maturity and self-awareness. Despite her early caring responsibilities and ongoing anxiety, she continues to show clarity in her ambitions and a strong commitment to entering the social work profession. With the ILF Transition Fund now actively supporting her practical, emotional and educational needs, Toni is well positioned to progress toward social work training and long-term independence.

Financial review
| Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any deficit Donated facilities and services (if any) |
Create Your Dream SCIO aims to maintain a modest level of unrestricted reserves to ensure financial stability and the continuity of core services. Reserves will be held to cover essential running costs in the event of unexpected income gaps or delays. The charity will review its reserves annually to ensure they remain appropriate for operational needs. Any reserves accumulated will be used responsibly to support charitable activities and planned development. The organisation will not intentionally build excessive reserves and will prioritise directing funds toward beneficiaries. |
|---|---|
The organisation has no deficit for the reporting period. As the organisation was established in November 2024, it is still in its early stages of operation and therefore has not yet accumulated any reserves. All income received to date has been applied directly to initial start-up and operational activities,in line with the funding provided. |
|
| n/a |
Other optional information
As the organisation was formally established in November 2024, this first reporting period reflects the early developmental stage of the charity. Financial activity to date has primarily consisted of initial set-up and preparatory costs required to establish the charity’s governance, operational structure, and future programme planning.
The charity has not yet accumulated reserves, as income received during this start-up phase has been utilised to support foundational activities. The Trustees are developing a formal reserves policy that will be implemented as sustainable funding streams are secured.
The Board continues to ensure that appropriate financial controls and oversight arrangements are in place while the charity grows its activities. The Trustees remain confident that the organisation is well positioned to expand operations in the coming year as funding and delivery plans progress.
