REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st AUGUST 2025 

The Trustees who are also Directors of The Charity for the purposes of[the Companies   ] Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year end 31st August 2025. 

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 the Republic] of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

Newent Initiative Trust (The Trust), with its premises in the centre of Newent,[provides an ] extensive 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 been forced for the third year, to utilise our reserve funds. 

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

The Trust have however continued with their varied activities, working closely with, and supported by our local businesses, food bank, providing outreach activities with our at-risk young people, giving guidance and providing reassurance to those young, vulnerable adults, and those living alone and isolated. 




**Patron: Rt Hon The Lord 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 Phone:    01531 822487 

As part of the Trust's other community activities, we have continued to act as agents providing project support to smaller community 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. 

To summarise, with the reducing financial and welfare support provided by[ County, ] District, Town Council, and local community organisations, we find the Trust relying more on one-off grants and drawing more upon our limited financial reserves. 

The Trust’s youth and community cafe activities have continued to prove to be successful, demonstrating its inclusive approach and ongoing commitment to Newent and its surrounding areas. 

Community projects of specific note this period include the completion and rededication of Newent’s War Memorial, refurbishment of the external façade and internals of The ChillOut, community outings and the pre-planning phase of a much awaited Multi-wheeled Skatepark Facility. 

The burden of securing funding within an environment where charitable grants have[been ] difficult to obtain has fallen upon a smaller 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. 

The Trust’s thanks are extended to all our funders, community supporters, staff and volunteers, for their continuing belief and support throughout what has become a difficult year. 

The Trust looks forward to a more financially stable and brighter[future in which we can ] continue to flourish and thrive to the benefit of our community.
