Significant events

• “Our current 5-year strategy launched in 2023 focuses on what young people tell us they need to help create a more inclusive Scotland where they can flourish and thrive. This fiscal year reports on the second complete year of implementation. The charity sector in Scotland and the UK is still recovering from the knock-on impacts of covid including but not limited to, high levels of inflation and significant increases in costs of living and costs to deliver. In addition, the vitriolic toxicity of the overblown debate in relation to young trans people's lives continues to escalate coupled with targeted attacks on LGBT Youth Scotland across the year largely by a hostile media environment.”
• “A challenging legacy for the Charity, coupled with a wider hostile media environment with significant negative coverage of LGBTQ+ issues, can have a significant impact on young people's health and wellbeing. In this financial year, significant hostile and misrepresented media coverage specifically linked to the work of LGBT Youth Scotland resulting in increased reputational risk to the charity.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
