## Annual Report of The Trustees for the Year Ended 31[st] August 2024 

The Trustees who are also Directors of The Charity for the purposes of The Companies Act 2006, present their report together with the financial statements of The Charity for the year ended 31[st] August 2024. 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[st] January 2019. 

Newent Initiative Trust (The Trust), with its premises in the centre of Newent provides a varied range of youth and community services. 

Like many similar smaller charities, we have experienced significant challenges during this reporting period. As a result of significant increases in energy and employment costs, and more importantly, the UK wide reduction in funding opportunities, we have yet again been forced to utilise our reserves. 

With our reserve funds greatly reduced, we have readjusted our offerings, focusing more on supporting those most vulnerable and in need of daily support within our community. 

The Trust have however performed more varied activities, working more closely with our local food bank, providing outreach activities with our at-risk young people, giving guidance and providing reassurance to families, those living alone and isolated. 

As part of The Trust’s other community activities, we have also acted as the agent for financial and project support to a small number of local organisations, retaining and managing their various accounts, thereby enabling them to operate more effectively with the minimum of bureaucracy under the banner of Newent Initiative Trust. 

With the valued support of other community-based groups, we endeavoured to expand our usual services, albeit at some risk to The Trust. Even with the limited financial and welfare support provided by County, District, Town Council, and local community organisations, we found The Trust relying more on one-off grants and drawing more upon our limited financial reserves. 



**Patron: Rt Hon Mark Harper Registered Charity No: 1074500 Company Limited by Guarantee (Registration Number 3709565) Registered Address:       36 Broad St NEWENT Glos GL18 1AJ** E-mail: newentcc@gmail.com ~~re~~ Phone:    01531 820782 

The Trust’s youth and community cafe activities have continued to be successful, supplemented by other community group activities, all of which demonstrate The Trust’s inclusive approach and ongoing commitment to Newent and its surrounding areas. 

Community projects of specific note this period include the major refurbishment of Newent’s War Memorial and the planned development of Newent’s long awaited Multiwheeled Skatepark Facility. 

The burden of securing additional funding within an environment where charitable grants have been difficult to obtain has fallen upon a small number of Trustees, without whom the Charity would not have survived. The Trust will undoubtedly find the coming year even more challenging as it strives to continue to deliver its charitable aims and objectives within our community and its unique wider rural environment of which we are part. 

Trustee’s thanks are extended to all of our funders, staff and volunteers, for their continuing belief and unstinting support throughout what was a difficult operating year. 

The Trust looks forward to a more financially stable and brighter future in which we can continue to flourish
