The Trustees who aré directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report togelher
th the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Chalr's report
Introduetlon
l am pleased to provide my report as Chalrman of Life Education Wessex & Thame8 Valley
(LEw&fv) for the year ending 31 March 2025.
As I write my report Ihis year th8r8 18 crisls across Ihe with nation8 al war, people starvlng and
news of earthquakes. With the war In Ukraine continuing for a third year il is possible that there will
soon be wider involvement and European forces deployed on the ground to attempt to stop Ru88ian
forces deploying further into Europe. In UK nows there are the ¢ontinued Issues of people crosslng
the channel and immigration, as well as stori88 of forthcomlr¥J government budgets arKI Ihe usual
funding issu8s for the NHS arKI education.
With what is going on in the country and the vKrld beyond the V*r)rk of Llfe Education Wessex and
Tham8s Valley preparing young people for 80me of life's choic88 and givi￿ them some knowledge
and life ski118 18 more important than ever. The8e basic, but e88ential life skills, ￿1¢h Seem
fundamental are often noi a feature Ihat politicians focus on or provide proper funding or even
strategy for, A colleague recently referred to what ￿ do at the Coram Life Education National
Conference as Life Education being the 'fence at the top of the cliff rather than the ambulance at th8
bottom". I think this really does reflect our proactive approach, where 80 often these days it is about
klng up the pieces after something has happened, wtten of cour88 it is either loo late, or too costly
to address.
Our year
So, against this somewhat negative background, l am really pleased to report another su¢¢es8ful year
with us providing our Services to more children than the pr•vious year. Our wellbeing educational
servlces reaching ¢vw 132,873 young people across the Cornwall, Devon, Dors&t, Hampshire & Is16
