Tora Budo Kai
Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period Ended 31 March 2023
## **Open an under 8’s training session at our Dojo in Hanham**
The numbers did not warrant a separate under 8’s class; this year Hanham club has moved the under 8’s to train with the over 8’s.
## **Hold the AGM**
The AGM was held on 15th January 2023.
## **Hold an Annual Awards Ceremony**
The Committee decided to not hold an annual awards ceremony, but to hold a 30 years party for the club in September 2023. This will be an all-day event, also raising money for a local charity.
## **Hold Charity Fundraising Events For The Benefit of Local Charities**
The Committee switched charities, deciding to benefit Bristol Autism Support. The annual Charity Day raised £1800.
## **Promote The Various Clubs With Marketing Campaigns and Initiatives**
The Clubs at Hanham and Pill were particularly suffering from reduced support. The Committee put on a promotion for new starters offering them the first 4 classes for free. The offer started at the Hanham Club, with the under 8s class, with some success. However, efforts were limited by a lack of internal expertise in advertising and promotion. Therefore, the Organisation looked to its members for volunteers with suitable expertise. A member with an appropriate professional background was stepped forward, so this work will continue into the next period.
## **Update the Tora Budo Kai Website**
The website has not been updated, so this objective is carried over into the next period.
## **Appoint a New Safeguarding Lead for Tora Budo Kai**
The Organisation has appointed a Safeguarding Lead.
## **Hold Safeguarding Training Sessions For Coaches and Committee Members**
All coaches, trustees and committee members have completed a safeguarding course. We will be continuing to update training every 3 years.

## **Financial Review**
## **Brief Statement on the Charity’s Policy on Reserves**
The Charity seeks to establish a working reserve of not more than an average year’s income, unless the Trustees plan a major future expenditure, in which case the reserves intended for that purpose will be identified as such in the financial statements. If the working reserve exceeds one year's income, the Trustees will seek the will of the Members to reduce the working reserves below their target.
