The trustees who are also 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 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 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

Family Journeys core services are inclusive of Family Connections (child contact), family mediation, "All About Me" (children's voice work), group work provision, and child led intensive family support interventions to assist and support families through separation, relationship breakdown, and family conflict. Family Journeys are child's rights focussed and all services that are provided are child led, holistic, therapeutic in approach and trauma informed to support a child and their family nurture healthy relationships, through a period of family relationship break down. Family Journeys offer a progressive service and aim to support families to reach a healthy and independent co-parenting solution, reducing the need for future legal involvement and further reducing co-dependency on services.

To meet these objectives, the charity undertakes the following activities:

(a)

Support children and their parents to create and sustain co-parenting arrangements that prioritise the well-being, voice, and lived experiences of the child. This includes offering family connections and mediation when needed to help children feel safe, heard, and supported.

(b)

Provide a trauma-informed, welcoming, and child-centred safe space where children can safely connect, at their own pace, with parents, siblings, or other significant family members following separation. Relationships are supported in ways that respect each child's emotional needs and readiness.

(c)

Offer intensive, personalised support that actively involves children and young people in shaping how they receive help following family separation, ensuring they feel listened to, empowered, and understood throughout their journey.

(d)

Promote the value of emotional support, such as intensive family support models, to individuals, parents, and their children, with a particular focus on supporting children and young people to understand and access these services in ways that feel safe and relevant to them.

(e)

Work collaboratively with children and families-alongside local authorities, legal services, and other third sector organisations-ensuring a joined-up approach that puts children's needs, voices, and rights at the centre of all decisions and support, across Edinburgh and The Lothians.

(f)

Deliver a fully accessible and inclusive service that responds flexibly to the real-life needs of children and families, especially those facing barriers such as health inequality, poor housing, or the ongoing effects of poverty. Children from all backgrounds are supported to shape the help they receive and feel valued in the process.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

At Family Journeys, our passion and drive has always been to ensure that we are supporting children and families throughout their journey towards healthy, respectful and nurturing relationships.

Over the last year we have seen a further growth and need for our services and the economic pressures affecting our sector and the funders who support it. In response, our focus this year has been to build capacity within our reception, referrals and operation team, continue to innovate our services, further collaborate on service design with our children and families and pull together all of our learning and implementation of change to demonstrate a solid core. In doing so, we have created a robust shared learning platform for change where bold and brave discussions can be heard.

The continued development of our innovative, holistic and trauma-informed approach over the last year has reduced the need for families needing continuous, long-term support. Our model has moved beyond the historical multi-year engagements with now almost 80% of our families ready to move on from services within 12 months.

Our capacity building within the reception, referral and operations team has seen us significantly increase provision to ensure telephone coverage every day of the week. Our dedicated operations and scheduling provision has also seen a significant improvement in families being moved into services within 2 months of referral.

With the ratification of UNCRC (UN Convention on the Rights of the Child), Family Journeys continue to be guided by a rights-based approach as set out by the UNCRC. Child led, early intervention and robust preparation time ensures we deliver the most effective and impactful outcomes for the children and families we work with. All of our services are trauma-responsive and designed and tailored to support all family members through managing contact, mediation and specialist therapeutic family support.

With significant funding in place dedicated to elevating the voice of the child, supporting the workforce to drive and embed systemic change and the continued commitment to working holistically using a multiagency, trauma informed approach to family support, Family Journeys remain proud and dedicated with the impact this is having on our children and families. As all of our staff team have now completed All About Me - Voice of the Child training, we are delighted that we are beginning to see a considerable confidence in delivering this service, as well as a recognition being received naming this service and highlighting the need for more children's voice work to be completed when decisions are being made about their care. Further evidence-based support models are now being considered for the future. Family Journeys are also proud to confirm this year that we now have 7 additional languages across the staff team to include Urdu, Punjabi, Greek, Spanish, Swedish, Polish and Hindi.

Family Journeys are delighted that we have a staff member who has completed a Diploma in Therapeutic Life Story Work and this evidence-based support has now been embedded fully into practice across the staff team so that all of our children can benefit from the opportunity to access this therapeutic approach. Family Journeys have successfully completed the Promise Project in East Lothian and have seen a significant shift in the impact and value of a community-based family connections approach. We hope to continue to embed this learning across all Lothian locations over the coming year. With the success of this project, we also hope to secure further funding from The Promise in 2025 to continue our commitment to support our care experienced children and families. Family Journeys have also been successful in securing further funding from Way Forward For Families Partnership and have begun to work closely with our stakeholders in West Lothian so support families impacted by substance use, further reducing stigma for our families. Through our work in the West, we recognise some families need extra help to maintain or develop nurturing loving relationships when impacted by care experience, substance use, and additional adversities experienced throughout childhood. These partnerships provide the right support, at the right time to those that need it most. By recognising that children and young people need support to understand their life-story and family narrative, we can ensure children and young people feel ready and emotionally supported to spend time with a missing family member.

Following last year's decision to source a new central venue to support our Edinburgh based families, we have recently done the same in the West. We are delighted that our team in West Lothian are settled into a new venue in Bathgate. Complete with multiple playrooms, a sensory room, a teen gaming room, and a messy play area, our staff team and families are delighted with the new space.

Client Feedback

1.

"I always have fun with Dad and don't want to leave now." - Child

2.

"Was delighted to be invited by Family Journeys to experience the Bathgate facility. It was really good to have a visual picture of what a "contact centre" looks like. I have to admit, I left feeling trauma informed. From the various playrooms, sensory and the décor, I felt a child centred approach could be seen throughout the whole facility. Places like this can be a lifeline for families and it's amazing to see this." - Solicitor

3.

"I think the mediation service provided was excellent. Our three kids had excellent hour-long meetings with (Staff) that I think really helped them to process their feelings and to articulate what mattered most to them". - Mediation Parent

4.

"I truly appreciate your support. (Child) and I both felt comfortable and heard in your presence" - Family Connections Parent

Family Journeys have continued to act on feedback from our families and stakeholders and have been so fortunate and grateful to have received significant pro bono support to complete a full operational and brand review in 2025. This has already brought about a number of key positive changes to our services, as well as a significant improvement on accessibility and early touch points for children, parents, solicitors, social workers and other professionals who access our information. We have a new website, and all Family Journeys documentation has been standardised across the organisation to reflect the new brand guidelines.

Case Study - Supervised Contact

Mum was already using a second law firm having fallen out with the first firm and been "dropped" due to being told she was "too difficult". Throughout Mum's early engagement with Family Journeys her relationship with her solicitor was strained. Communication between them seemed to get less frequent until Mum was advised a couple of days before a court hearing associated with child contact that her solicitor would no longer be able to represent her. Mum was required to represent herself in court that session and continued to do so because she was not able to access any further solicitor representation, largely due to her trauma behaviours.

Family Journeys provided her with a list of law firms and explored the potential barriers she may be having to access new representation. We heard that her case was "too complex" and given she had been dropped by two other law firms it would be unlikely that another firm would support her. Mum was not successful with any of them.

In the meantime, Family Journeys picked up the fees for Mum's part of the service delivery costs believing it would not be in the best interest of the child to pause the family time until new representation could be sought, if ever. Mum continues to represent herself in difficult court sessions with no support.

Without Family Journeys covering this cost, the family time would need to be paused or stopped completely, interrupting the relationship the child has successfully built with her mother. Mum told staff during her review, "I was so scared about coming to Family Journeys and it was really hard, but you continue to be kind and help me each step of the way. I don't think I could have done any of this if I hadn't have felt as supported as I did. I am still scared of the future, but I am glad we are doing this through Family Journeys."

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Following a continued reversed trend of deficit, Family Journeys have been able to grow both in terms of the families we support and the financial security of the organisation. Family Journeys currently sit in a healthy and sustainable financial position with diversified income streams now being received from Scottish Government core funding, Scottish Legal Aid Board (SLAB) as well as other independent funders. This has further reduced the need for dependency on a sole or majority income source. As part of the long-term financial strategy, Family Journeys have continued to work hard to build collaborative, supportive and meaningful long term funder relationships with fewer grant providers but for larger and longer-term investments. This has allowed for conversations regarding year-on-year funding and diversified core versus project allocation of funds.

Our largest outgoing remains staff salaries and with recruitment in the sector being an ongoing challenge, Family Journeys have worked hard this year developing a value-based recruitment strategy and supporting the current workforce, investing heavily in staff wellbeing and retention. Rental costs also remain a significant cost to the organisation; however, Family Journeys continue to see and hear the value in sole use venues, built around the core needs of the children and young people we support.

Family Journeys hope to further consider philanthropic and legacy funding in 2025/2026 as this is an income stream we have not yet received.

Family Journeys have not been offered university students for placements for the forthcoming year, so we hope to revisit this further education relationship throughout 2025/2026.

Reserves policy

To reflect the growth of the organisation, the directors have decided that the charity's reserves need to reflect the size and growth of the organisation and made the decision that Family Journeys needs to hold one year's rent, non-cancellable commitments, redundancy payments and two months running costs in reserves. This equates to approximately £140,000. Family Journeys currently have £418,917 held in our account, however £105,838 of this is grant funds to be carried forward to 25/26. This leaves £313,079 and therefore based on the reserves policy above, the policy is therefore met. The Board considers that in the event of any future financial challenges, holding this reserve is prudent to allow for further redundancy payments should this be in the best interests of the organisation and its long-term sustainability.

FUTURE PLANS

Family Journeys have continued to prioritise multi agency working throughout 2024/2025 and are delighted to have been successful with a number of conversations highlighting the opportunity for joint bids that will further develop the child led provision that we are able to offer our young people, supporting the ongoing need for mandatory multi-year funding, ensuring stability, consistency and service quality.

We will look forward to continuing championing children's rights in Family Connection Services ensuring all children maintain safe, meaningful relationships in line with UNCRC. We'd like to explore how we support policy makers and funders to recognise that "child contact" services are a rights based and essential service and ensure every child's voice is at the heart of all family decision making. We will explore how we can get family connections centres recognised as GIRFEC partners, advocating for inclusion and integrated children's services and ensure that all families can access the right to family connections support, regardless of income or status. We will continue to develop and promote child led best practice models and share learning, as well as ensure all our services remain trauma informed, and rights based.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The trustees retire at each annual general meeting but are eligible for re-election. The trustees may serve for a period of seven consecutive years at which point they must retire. The governing documents allows for a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 12 trustees. The trustees may appoint additional trustees at any time.

Organisational structure

The trustees meet regularly to review the various projects undertaken together with planning of the future strategies. The Board is presently (31/03/2025) made up of nine Directors and three sub committees (Finance, Fundraising and Policy). The Board meets quarterly. The Finance Sub-Committee receives regular management accounts and meets additionally as required to the Board meeting; the Policy and Fundraising Sub committee meets as required. Sub Committees make recommendations to the Board. The Chair and the Chief Executives also meet regularly as required.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 23 October 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

S Young - Trustee

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages eight to twenty one.

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. 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. 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; and

-	to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to 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.

The charitable company is entitled to exemption from audit under Section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 in accordance with Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006.

The trustees acknowledge their responsibilities for

(a)	ensuring that the charitable company keeps accounting records that comply with Sections 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006 and

(b)

preparing financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the end of each financial year and of its surplus or deficit for each financial year in accordance with the requirements of Sections 394 and 395 and which otherwise comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 relating to financial statements, so far as applicable to the charitable company.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to charitable companies subject to the small companies regime.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Trustees and authorised for issue on 23 October 2025 and were signed on its behalf by:

S Young - Trustee

1.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

Family Journeys Ltd is a company limited by guarantee incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is 519 Gorgie Road, Edinburgh, EH11 3AJ.

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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' 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 (£).

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 Trustees' Report.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

•

the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.

Financial instruments

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

Debt instruments like other accounts receivable and payable are initially measured at present value of the future payments and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and 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 equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts, when applicable, are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

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.

Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Other revenue streams are recognised when there is an understanding of the terms to both parties and the charity has invoiced the appropriate entity. In the event that a service is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

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 by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities, events and non-charitable trading.

Governance costs

These are indirect costs attributable to the management function that supports the direct provision of charitable services.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Where possible expenditure is allocated directly to an activity. Items of expenditure which contribute to more than one activity are apportioned on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Support costs which are not attributable to a single activity but rather provide the organisational infrastructure that enables output producing activities to take place are allocated on the same basis as expenditure incurred directly in undertaking an activity.

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.

Fixtures and fittings

- 33.3% on cost

Computer equipment

- 33.3% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are included at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date non-financial assets not carried at fair value, like plant and equipment, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less cost to sell, is estimated and compared with the carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit and loss.

Taxation

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

Fund accounting

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

Unrestricted designated funds are funds which have been placed in reserves by the trustees for future specific purposes.

Restricted funds 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.

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

Leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Judgements

The company considers on an annual basis the judgements that are made by management when applying its 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.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
