No additional events were planned.

KEY CHALLENGES
-
In our latest review, the primary operational challenge with persistent downturn in financial contributions continues. This trend reflects the broader economic difficulties faced by our supporter base. Although every donation received was, and continues to be, vital, the overall decrease in funding necessitated a strategic adjustment to our operational capacity, specifically limiting our ability to expand services as originally envisioned
-
Despite the economic climate and direct impact on expanding our activities, the charity was still able to maintain costs at a minimum and provide charitable donations as a majority of our financial spending
-
Additional volunteers required for planned activities continues to have a shortfall but, now has a positive outlook with commitment secured for next period
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
At One New Man, we have Covid-19 risk assessment processes in place for all areas of our charity activities. Examining each part of the charity and fellowship in accordance with Government guidelines on managing the risk of coronavirus.
Through the risk assessment process and (future) application when required:
-
We will take all reasonable steps to help and support people by holding fellowship meetings online where physical meetings are not possible
-
We will apply enhanced cleaning regimes
-
We will encourage handwashing and hygiene procedures in line with Government guidance, supply essential products and promote this via communications
-
We will take all reasonable steps to maintain recommended distances between people at meetings
-
Where people are unable to observe this, we ensure we have done everything we can to manage the risk of transmission (provision of masks, sanitisation lotion)
We will continue to monitor and reassess the risks associated with our operations and will make changes and improvements where we can.
The health, safety, and wellbeing of all associated with our charity and fellowship is at the forefront of our decision making.

Financial Review
The income of the charity is below £10,000; derived from donations and offerings from regular attendees and visitors. Year on year costs were effectively managed over this period and are in line with the final surplus and reserves policy.
Costs for period remain within targets in terms of ensuring the majority of funds are allocated to support activities and charitable giving.
No fund is in deficit and it is the agreement that any operations are run in such a way that a deficit should not occur.
At this time and immediate future, we do not foresee any significant impact on financial operations. However, impact has been seen via a reduction in donations, where regular contributors might encounter financial difficulties, loss/reduction of income and general cost of living increases.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the agreement of the charity trustees to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the reserves of the charity at about 3 months of unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover any emergency expenditure that may arise from time to time. The charity will seek to maintain this level throughout the year. This agreement will be formalised in to policy as the work of the charity progresses and financial practices require.
As reviewed, this already accounts for situations such as COVID-19.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The charity has assessed all the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.
As outlined in previous section, this includes management of activities and considerations for UK Government and HSE guidelines as previously related to COVID-19.
