- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Following this review, trustees consider that the organisation has sufficient resources to continue operating and delivering its charitable activities for the foreseeable future. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The closure of UK Government-funded Multiply programmes affected overall learner numbers compared with the previous year, but Lead Scotland adapted by strengthening existing partnerships and securing new opportunities for delivery.”
- “The impact of this reduction was partially mitigated through successful development of new opportunities, including securing additional employability contracts in Perth and Kinross and East Lothian.”
- “During 2025-2026, Lead Scotland continued to deliver against its existing strategic plan. The Board of Trustees agreed to extend the current strategy to 31 December 2026 to provide sufficient time for the new Chief Executive to undertake a comprehensive review of the charity's future direction and develop a new strategic plan.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
