The Trustees made the decision to close TheO6 towards the end of 2025. This decision was not made lightly, but it came after much consideration of the challenges faced. The most significant of these was our difficulty in recruiting new trustees. Since 2021, we have had only one new trustee join the board, and without new trustees to replace those that had retired, it was becoming increasingly difficult to continue the work of the charity effectively. Additionally, in the summer of 2025, the Youth Pastor, Graham Harry, resigned after many years of dedicated service. Graham was a cornerstone of TheO6 and his departure highlighted the challenge of continuing the work without the vital leadership he provided. |

Each Ottery Church shall have the right to nominate an individual to be considered for admission by the charity trustees. Any such nomination is to be made by the governing body of the church in question and communicated in writing to the CIO. The charity trustees may admit as a charity trustee an individual whose skills or experience will, in the reasonable opinion of the charity trustees, particularly assist the CIO. |
