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.

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. |

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. |

| 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. |

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. |

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 |
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. |
