for the Year Ended 31 March 2026



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 2026. 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

1. To promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Island of Harris and in particular the advancement of education, the relief of poverty, distress and sickness; the preservation and safeguarding of the physical and mental health of the community through physical recreation (including sports) and education in relation thereto;

2. To promote and organise co-operation in and the achievement of the above purposes and to that end to bring together representatives of the Statutory Authorities and voluntary organisations engaged in the furtherance of the above purposes of any of them within the Island of Harris.

3. The provision in the interests of social welfare and for the purposes of improving the conditions of life of the persons for whom the same are primarily intended of facilities for physical recreation (including sports) which shall be available to the public at large, including special facilities for persons who by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances may have need of special facilities and

Significant activities

Our principal activity remains the co-ordination of voluntary activity in the Harris area, provide practical and advisory support to voluntary and community organisations, assess their needs and represent them and promote good practice. We are currently working on a revised three-year development plan. The achievements in the past year are detailed in our Annual Report.

The Annual Report can be obtained through the registered office.

Grantmaking

The Hardship Fund has provided financial support to individuals in need across Harris, helping to cover essential costs such as rent, white goods and vehicle repairs. As of June 2025, a decision was made to temporarily suspend the fund, as we are not currently receiving further funding and income from HVS Phone Book sales has declined.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

A summary of the activities is included below:

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 March 2026


FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The main funder of core activity is the Third Sector Unit of the Scottish Government. A small sum (£2,940) is received from CnES towards core funding.

HVS provided administrative and payroll services to Crossroads Care Harris Care Attendant Scheme, the Leverhulme Community Hub, Church of Scotland (Tarbert) and Rionnagan Og; organisations which do not have their own offices. HVS income is generated through the sale of De tha Doi? and advertising space and receives a small payment for direct payment assistance offered.

Funds held on behalf of community groups

From time to time the charity holds funds on behalf of local community groups that do not have their own bank account. These funds are treated as Current Liabilities in the balance sheet.

We have a form in place for any new organisation we take financial responsibility for.

The trustees of Harris Voluntary Service do not have decision making powers over the use of these funds.

Reserves policy

Our core expenditure receives its major funding from Scottish Government. Proposed changes to this funding structure are still being discussed, having been subject to a consultation process. The remainder of the expenditure is funded through earned income from services provided. No project is commenced until all the funding is in place and therefore there is no risk to our projects.

HVS would ideally wish to have reserves in place to cover redundancies if these occurred and this year there are sufficient funds at the end of the year to take account of that.

FUTURE PLANS

As well as continuing with the work of the past year, we hope to:

1. Continue to work to create partnerships with a cross section of local development workers in Harris to avoid duplication and to link into each other's work where appropriate.
2. Promote good governance/regulation guidance and to improve accessibility to information.
3. Build capacity in our community by assessing needs more closely and delivering training where resource allows.
4. Increase the use of social media for the dissemination of information.
5. Support the Harris Locality Planning Group and various forums, as required, in order to promote the voice of the sector.
6. Promote social justice and equity for all modes of Harris residents as required.
7. Promote and represent the work of the TSI Western Isles partnership and look for support synergies with island partners via shared learnings and best practices.
8. Promote and disburse the Community Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund (Year 6).
9. Work with TSI WI Partners to improve and develop our shared TSI WI website and disseminate information.
10. Develop and strengthen current community projects and when relevant move these projects into community ownership.
11I. Access new funding sources for assessed needs and promote and publish to local groups.
12. Maintain staffing levels in line with Scottish Government core funding.
13. Secure a Reserves Policy for security for the organisation.
14. Finalise a 5-Year Plan for HVS.
15. Revisit the De tha Dol? Objectives.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 March 2026



STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Harris Voluntary Service has a membership of 49 organisations, each of which appoint one member to represent them to HVS and who are free to attend all meetings. Only directors have a vote at Board meetings, but all representatives have a vote at General Meetings.

From and by these representatives, directors are elected on an annual basis at the AGM. This is the only avenue through which directors are elected.

Organisational structure

The Development manager, plus other staff as required attend Directors' Meetings. Any decision regarding staffing issues is communicated in person by the Chair to the member of staff concerned and confirmed in writing.

Induction and training of new trustees

All new directors receive induction training which includes an introduction to the office and office staff, information about the organisation, information on their roles and responsibilities as company directors, the policies and procedures of HVS, previous annual report and accounts.

Wider network

As noted above, HVS has a membership of 49 organisations in Harris. HVS also partake in Outer Hebrides wide initiatives e.g. Food network, Poverty Action group, Transport Action Group and therefore inform on local practices for the benefit of the wider Third Sector network.

Related parties

As well as the member organisations, the charity works closely with the local authority in identifying and responding to perceived need and does through direct response and established interfaces like the Community Councils and previously the Harris Forum.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

All staff and volunteers working with children are disclosure checked.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Harris Voluntary Service for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).

Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

-select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.


Approved by order of the board of trustees on 29 September 2026 and signed on its behalf by:






T Macleod - Trustee


Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of

Harris Voluntary Service


I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026 set out on pages seven to seventeen.


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.

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.



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.



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.



Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.



Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly. There is no apportionment of costs between activities. Where appropriate, an administration fee is charged to recover costs.


Tangible fixed assets

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



Fixtures and fittings

-

33% depreciaton on cost



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.
