OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The company's objects are to represent the people in its area of operation (Dumfries and Galloway) and who have a physical, mental or sensory impairment, and to further their engagement and representation.

Public benefit

The charity is a public benefit entity.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

DG Voice is a major recognised voluntary body for disabled people in Dumfries and Galloway.

We act as:

o A representative body

o A campaigning body

o An information & signposting agency

In addition:

o We gather information from disabled people on their aspirations, fears, concerns and wishes

o We are a major player in project work involving different bodies, public and voluntary working together

o We are a monitor of the broad field of disability and of the values and performance of public bodies in discharging their duties towards disabled people.

o We offer activities and facilitate a variety of training opportunities

Commission on Representation and Engagement

During the period reported on, we have continued to deliver the Commission on Representation and Engagement, in partnership, which was previously called the Equalities Partnership, originally set up in 2018. This comprises DG Voice, DGMA, LGBT Plus and the Third Sector Dumfries and Galloway, each organisation of which retains its independent status as an independent organisation. This partnership has been awarded a commission by Dumfries and Galloway Council to deliver outcomes to people with protected characteristics in our region.

Our Chief Executive Officer, has been leading the organisation through a period of change, while continuing to deliver the services we are known for. Our Outreach and Engagement Officer has continued to work more closely with our members and deliver activities of their own choosing, being truly people-led in all we do. One such exciting piece of work was the continuation of the Social Club for Young People with Additional Support Needs, which has been a major success!

This financial period, we continued to react to the cost of living crisis and have distributed almost 500 shopping and energy vouchers to disabled people and their families across Dumfries and Galloway.

DG Voice further continued to cover a range of specific tasks on behalf of our membership and funded by Dumfries and Galloway Council and NHS Dumfries and Galloway:

o Representation and engagement of disabled people in meeting with public authorities

o Evaluating impact on disabled people of existing or proposed public policies

o Responding to enquiries from disabled people

o Transmitting information and opinion and communicating with membership using website, social media, newsletters and online events

o Campaigning on topics that matter to disabled people

o Collaborating with other voluntary bodies on matters of shared concern

o A regular feature of DG Voice work was participation in Impact Assessments of proposed changes to a number of local government and health services

o DG Voice continues to attend meetings such as the Cross Party Group on Disability at Holyrood.

o We are an active member of the Equality and Diversity Working Group in our region which is unique in Scotland and draws together representatives from voluntary organisations and statutory bodies such as council, NHS and Police to review on an ongoing basis how vulnerable groups are catered for

o We are in regular contact with national bodies such as Inclusion Scotland and Self Directed Support Scotland and apply their insights locally

o Membership of DG Voice continues to be robust.

While the organisation continues to offer Access Auditing and Disability and Equality Awareness Training Services as part of its sustainability and business plan, this work has slowed down significantly since the pandemic.

DG Voice has also undertaken an internal review of operations and governance work and is undergoing a period of transformation and change, to embed the lessons learned during the pandemic and beyond and adapt to deliver the best possible outcomes for the people we serve.

In summary, this has been a very busy period with achievement in an immensely changed environment.

We would like to acknowledge and thank our funders, Dumfries and Galloway Council, Dumfries and Galloway Health and Social Care Partnership, the Holywood Trust, Corra & The Henry Duncan Trust, Foundation Scotland for the Annandale and Nithsdale Community Benefit Company and the Kilgallioch Community Fund, the National Lottery Community Cost of Living Fund, and we express out thanks to out volunteers and members.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Total incoming resources during the year amounted to £177,852 (2024 - £149,380), whilst total resources expended amounted to £148,462 (2024 - £158,042) resulting in a surplus of £29,390 (2024 - (£8,662)). Reserves of £124,582 (2024 - £95,192) were held at the year end, of which £72,134 (2024 - £72,237) were restricted.

The high amount of reserves held at 31st March 2025 is due to the grant period not aligning with the reporting period.

Principal funding sources

The charity is grateful to Dumfries and Galloway Council, Dumfries and Galloway Health and Social Care Partnership, the Holywood Trust, Corra & The Henry Duncan Trust, Foundation Scotland for the Annandale and Nithsdale Community Benefit Company and the Kilgallioch Community Fund, and National Lottery Community Cost of Living Fund for their support.

Investment policy and objectives

The charity's funds are held in interest bearing bank accounts with the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Reserves policy

During the reported period, DG Voice has been able to sustain appropriate levels of reserves. This is partially due to grants received during this reporting period not aligning with the reporting period for these annual accounts. The Trustees continue to acknowledge that there may be a vast impact on statutory organisations in terms of being able to provide funding after the UK left the EU, and due to the ongoing impacts of the pandemic. DG Voice started small additional income streams through access audits and disability equality awareness training, but this has slowed down significantly due to Covid. During this period we have been able to access a variety of additional funding sources and have also successfully completed a pilot project, gaining further evidence for the need of long-term funding. We are continuing to seek external sources of funding to enable the long term sustainability of the organisation and move away from reliance of statutory sector funding. We have been looking at securing additional funding sources through the Dumfries and Equalities Partnership and council. We are implementing plans to augment our financial resources; this will be a multi-year operation to progress the financial stability of the organisation in future.

Our reserves policy is to hold 3 - 6 months of the resources expended.

FUTURE PLANS

While the Covid-19 pandemic continues to have an effect on the organisation, the cost of living crisis has become an ever more urgent matter to our members and wider communities. We have received funding to help members with shopping and energy vouchers, which has had a big impact, but more support is much needed. We continue to engage with our membership and fulfil and expand the important work we do. This is an exciting time of change and growth for the charity and the next few months and years will continue to see a big increase in the services we offer.We have received funding to employ three part-time Outreach and Engagement Workers split across the whole of Dumfries and Galloway and one part-time admin support worker, who will all make a huge difference to how we operate.

The charity will as a matter of priority seek further funding opportunities to be able to continue current activities and further promote our work across the region.

• To be able to offer a wide range of community activities, with direct input by disabled people themselves

• To continue the successful Social Clubs and extend the activities we offer

• To extend the digital exclusion work and provide more excluded people access to devices and connectivity

• To provide support, signposting and representation during the continuation of the pandemic

• To prepare for a recovery from the pandemic and ensure the voices of disabled people are being heard throughout

• To actively support out members alleviating the impacts of the cost of living crisis

• To increase our Membership further and to improve communication with membership by electronic means

• To monitor the implementation of the Equality Act

• Developing effective strategies to involve more disabled people in decision making

• To continue to Signpost people to service providers

• To establish a youth voice in DG Voice

• To ensure disability equality training is provided widely and to a high Standard

• To increase our digital media presence

Finally, in other ways to be seen as the major representative body of disabled people in the Dumfries and Galloway Region.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee, established under a Memorandum of Association, which detailed the objects and powers of the charity, and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the charity being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the requirements of the Articles of Association at each general meeting all of the directors shall retire from office but shall be eligible for re-election.

The directors may at any time appoint a member to be a director, subject to a maximum number of 15. A person shall not be eligible for appointment as a director unless he/she is a member of the company.

Organisational structure

Decisions are made by the board of directors at their board meetings, as well as various regular committee meetings held during the year. The directors with assistance of the CEO are responsible for administering the charity and for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. The chief executive officer oversees the day to day activities assisted by other staff members and volunteers.

Induction and training of new trustees

As part of the induction and training process new directors receive information on the charity, including details of the Memorandum and Articles of Association. New directors are offered the opportunity to attend a course provided by the Council for Voluntary Services and will have informal discussions with existing directors. Ongoing training needs are identified and appropriate training and development opportunities are provided.

Risk management

The directors actively review the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate these risks, including:

- the establishment of systems and recommendations including procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects;

- a review of the risks which the charity may face;

- the implementation of actions designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should any risks materialise.

These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 20th December 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

Ms J A Crooks - Trustee

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2025 set out on pages seven to fifteen.

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 31st March 2025.

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year ended 31st 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 20th December 2025 and were signed on its behalf by:

Ms J A Crooks - Trustee

1.	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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The charity is a public benefit entity, and has been prepared on a going concern basis.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.

Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by general volunteers has not been included in these accounts.

Investment income is included when receivable.

Incoming resources from charitable trading activity are accounted for when earned.

Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Grants related to capital expenditure on tangible assets are credited to the SOFA at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grants relate.

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.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Plant and machinery

-

25% on cost

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

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.

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.

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.

Financial instruments

Cash and bank

Cash and bank comprises cash on hand and call deposits, and other short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for the sale of goods sold in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price and represent the full value of the services charged to customers, including any amounts charged on for third parties.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers.

Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date they are presented as non current liabilities.

Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
