The principle planned activities contribute to meeting the objects outlined in the constitution and we have demonstrated how we deliver the overarching aim to empower young people to make healthy relationship and life choices, in the objectives and achievements of 2023. In delivery of the activities we monitor and evaluate in order to ensure benefits are realised and lessons learned can help to further develop and shape the service.

Finance
Financial Reserves
KOGS maintains a level of financial reserves in order to meet any unforeseen expenditure that may arise from its charitable activities; the Trustees would at all times aim to maximize the resources used for charitable purposes and therefore ensures that the reserve fund is no higher than necessary.
The level of unrestricted funds at the end of 2023 was that is funding that was not allocated or aligned to a project.
We aim to hold no less than £200 in free reserves at year end.
Overall Financial health
Through 2016 KOGS successfully secured grants to maintain the delivery of the service. It has been acknowledged that the current climate has required us to think innovatively about finance and seek funding from different places.
The coming year will see some alternative funding options such as fundraising and commissioning being explored, as well as grant applications and funding bids.
