concern|Para 1.23
|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.|
