Trustees’ Report
For the Year Ended 31 January 2024
The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2024.
Objects and Activities of the Company
Ordinary 2 Extraordinary (“O2e”) was founded to encourage sporting achievements in like - minded people who push themselves to their limits whilst raising money for the benefit of terminally ill and/or disabled children in the UK. Donations granted are to nominated charities.
Format of Accounts
The financial statements on pages 5 to 7 have been drawn up in compliance with ’Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice’ (revised 2005) and the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2005).
Financial Results and Commentary
During the year to 31 January 2024 O2e raised £224,957 through donations and fund raising events and made donations to nominated charities of £158,000. The total amount raised since the inception of O2e is £3,959,030 and the total of donations awarded to charities is £2,959,274.
O2e has almost no overheads as the organisation is run by volunteers and the costs of fund raising are met by the event participators and the directors. The only overhead costs are bank charges and the monthly Just Giving cost for processing of online donations and Gift Aid (which provides a net uplift on every donation received).
The difference between total receipts and donations is due to receipts of advanced deposits from participants for future fund raising events, which are reported as “costs of generating income” in compliance with accounting practice.
Structure, Governance and Management
O2e is a registered charity and a company incorporated by guarantee with no share capital, exempted under section 60 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to use “limited” as part of its name.
The rules of the company are prescribed in the company’s memorandum and articles of association.
The members of the company are the directors of the company: Anthony Padgett, Paul Slattery, Michael Brunker (Chairman) and David Davies (Company Secretary). The directors of the company are responsible for managing the business of the charity and may exercise all the powers of the charity.
The charity may appoint a new director by ordinary resolution.
Unrestricted Reserves Policy
The charity has no paid employees or overhead costs. The charity, therefore, only maintains sufficient reserves to provide working capital in respect of fund raising events and aims to distribute to its nominated child related charities all remaining funds.

Ordinary 2 Extraordinary
Trustees’ Report (continued)
For the Year Ended 31 January 2024
Achievements and Performance
Following the COVID pandemic and the resumption of the main annual event (Kev’s Big Ride) the charity continues to build on the tremendous achievements of the preceding years. The Golf Day and November Ball were also successful and the total amount of money raised in the year was £224,957 (2023: £290,357).
Involvement of volunteers:
All events are organised by teams of individuals directly. The O2e management team aids in coordinating the events, raising awareness, providing a central coordination function and ensuring governance. Consistent with O2e principles, none of the participants (including the management team and directors) are paid for their activities. Almost all costs associated with the activities and the administration of the company are funded by the directors and participants.
Fund raising activities:
Fund raising activities involved individuals and groups undertaking a variety of challenges in return for charitable donations.
Donations granted in the year ended 31 January 2024 totalled £158,000 and comprised:
| Get Kids Going | 4,000 |

Ordinary 2 Extraordinary
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its income and expenditure for that year.
In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; prepare financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in existence.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

EXAMINER’S UNQUALIFIED REPORT (FOR A COMPANY CHARITY)
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of “Ordinary 2 Extraordinary Ltd.”
I report on the Annual Report and Financial Statements of the company for the year ended 31 January 2024, which are attached.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income did not exceed £500,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (England and Wales).
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
