Oxygen C.I.O. Annual Report 2024 - 25

About us

Oxygen's vision was conceived in 1999 by young people from Kingston’s churches with the aim of reaching out to other young people in the community who are marginalised or disadvantaged. Their aim was to help young people who needed support and in doing so, demonstrate their faith, provide opportunities for them to explore their potential and discover their core values and beliefs.

The Oxygen Charitable Trust (1086608) was registered on 1 May 2001. In 2016, the Trustees established Oxygen as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO, 1165522). All of Oxygen’s activities, including Kingston Street Pastors, the Oxygen Shop, and “What’s the Point?” now operate under the governance of the CIO.

Oxygen is a Christian charity supported by local churches, individuals, trusts, foundations, and funding from local and national government. We work with young people of all faiths and none, aiming to alleviate suffering and reflect God’s love, care, and compassion, offering hope for a brighter future.

Oxygen is affiliated with several regional and national organisations, including the Synergy Network (uniting churches and communities across London to tackle crime), London Youth, Kingston Voluntary Action, Richmond Voluntary Action, NCVO, the Kingston and Richmond Safeguarding Children Partnership, and Ofsted.

Sir ed davey M.P.

Leader of the Liberal Democrat Party

Charities have faced so many challenges in recent years, but people still need their help - not least young people. So Oxygen is needed now more than ever.

Oxygen's work to support young people is

invaluable! We are lucky to have such an amazing team of people serving the local community! I continue to be impressed by how Oxygen has managed to adapt the way they work so creatively with young people in crisis.

The shop is a great way for young people to engage with Oxygen and make a contribution to the community through Social Action!

I want to thank John, the Trustees and all the staff and volunteers for their hard work and dedication over the last year.”

the chair of Trustees Richard Caldwell

Time passes fast. This year marks 25 years since the foundation of Oxygen by a group of young people to reach out and meet the needs of other young people. We rightly celebrate the constructive impact Oxygen has had on many young lives. As Trustees, we want to mark this milestone with gratitude and a renewed commitment to our mission. Demand for Oxygen's support remains high, with referrals continuing from schools and other stretched public services.

The Trustees are proud of the impact achieved during the past year, and this report highlights some of the ways young lives have been changed through our work. Through our mentoring, youth work and school programmes, Oxygen seeks to provide you ng people with trusted relationships, encouragement, and opportunities to thrive. The work is not always easy.

On behalf of the Trustees, I would like to thank our staff team for their hard work and dedication, sometimes in challenging circumstances. We are also deeply grateful to our diverse community of funders, volunteers and supporters, whose generosity makes this work possible.

So, at the beginning of this annual report, I would like to thank you for your continued support and prayers. Together, we ask God to continue using Oxygen to connect with and help young people across Kingston and Richmond to flourish, and ultimately to grow to know him.

Chief Executive Officer John Trend

Oxygen has been a constant in the lives of young people in the local area for over 25 years and, driven by our faith, has been positively impacting their lives to benefit them and the community.

I am continually inspired by the young people I meet who, despite facing considerable challenges, manage to find their inner strength, and with the right support and encouragement, can overcome the obstacles life presents.

In a world grappling with the threats of war, global economic crisis, the impact of AI on employment prospects, the influence of social media, a more polarised and fragmented society, and increasing exposure to violence, today's youth face unprecedented challenges. The detrimental impact this has on young people’s mental health, a lack of purpose, belonging and sense of isolation, mean that there has never been a greater need for critical work of Oxygen!

The last year has presented some significant challenges for the team at Oxygen and we have had to reduce our staffing to reflect the financial constraints upon us. Despite these challenges, we have been blessed with having some committed staff and volunteers who have worked hard to ensure that we can deliver the most essential support for vulnerable and disadvantaged young people.

We have also been blessed and encouraged by the support and feedback from you, our champions from local churches, the community and our valued partners, which keeps us going! We need your prayers, practical and financial help and your continued belief in the work we are doing. It enables us4 to reach more young people to give them hope at their most significant time of need!

Statement of benefit to the community

As a registered charity, and in line with the requirements of Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006, the Staff and Trustees of Oxygen have determined that Oxygen's work does have clear and identifiable benefits to those we work with, which are related to our aims.

T hese benefits are not the cause of any detriment or harm, nor are Young People excluded from benefiting from our work on the basis of their faith, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, spirituality or nationality.

Whilst we are a Christian charity, we work with young people of all faiths, beliefs, values and identities and place great emphasis upon involving them in the design and implementation of our services.

We innovate to create new programmes and resources to tackle some of the most challenging issues affecting our culture such as knife and violent crime, mental illness, underachievement and isolation, amongst others.

Young people benefit through reducing their involvement in crime, achieving better in education and fulfilling their potential to contribute to the community in which they live.

Oxygen's work improves the mental, physical, spiritual health and wellbeing of both young people and adults. We provide opportunities for people to grow, develop, discover their purpose and contribute to the world around them.

FeedBack from local Neighbourhood Board

In response to Oxygen applying for funding from the Surbiton Local Neighbourhood board, the Chair explicitly stated that the Committee..

".. applauded the vital work by Oxygen to the community, and was very proud to support them through the Community Grants Programme and Councillor Ward Funding."

In a rare move highlighting their support, the Committee noted that in March 2025 they had actually approved a grant to Oxygen that was in excess of the amount the charity had originally asked for, specifically in recognition of how highly their local work is valued. Other

committee members also formally spoke up during this session to recognize and praise Oxygen's local contributions.

Oxygen receives between 75 and 100 referrals annually from young people DATA facing crises due to mental health challenges, disengagement from education, or engaging in risky behaviours. Issues such as youth violence, unhealthy relationships, online misogyny, and toxic ideologies are leaving a lasting impact, as showcased in popular media like Adolescence (Netflix), Gareth Southgate’s Dimbleby Lecture, and Idris Elba’s documentary on knife crime. The demand for our support has reached unprecedented levels and continues to rise. Young people with probable mental disorders are more likely to live in households unable to afford extracurricular activities, putting them at greater risk of exploitation. Notably, 69% of young individuals convicted of carrying a knife are white.

Girls’ attendance at secondary school is deteriorating more rapidly than boys’. The pandemic impacted girls’ mental health disproportionately*

20% of young people have a mental health disorder, a 16% increase since 2017*

What do you see yourself doing in the future? What are your hope and aspirations? Who can support you to achieve your goals? These are just some of the questions we ask young people to help us understand them.

Many young people struggle to access the help they need, often facing complex processes, feeling overwhelmed and having little ownership over the support they are offered.

We start where young people are at, try to understand the world from the young person’s perspective, gain their trust and help them discover their identity and understand the challenges they face. We provide multiple entry points to make support accessible and ensure young people are guided to the right services. Our innovative programmes put young people at the centre, helping them build their confidence and resilience, discover their full potential and develop aspirations for the future.

oxygen shop

117 High st. New Malden

T he Oxygen shop is an innovative, dynamic, and powerful project which has developed beyond just providing a sustainable source of income. It is now a hub in the heart of the community and a vital tool for engaging and supporting young people and adults. It provides a vehicle through which they can connect, develop skills, find a sense of purpose and contribute to the community through social action.

this year

“The shop continues to surprise us, demonstrating that it is more than just a shop, but a safe space for all ages to come and just be, find new friends, chat and share life's challenges and precious stories. I am amazed at how important those regular relationships have become, for so many, providing a relief to their loneliness, a purpose to their lives and the treasured company of compassionate, like minded people who are willing to listen, support and care. Our comments book provides valuable feedback from customers, volunteers and donors, with many lovely remarks such as: This shop is special place, the shop has a lovely warm atmosphere and a sense of calm. We want it to continue to be this safe space for all who come in!”

“Volunteering here has been so much fun! I am so excited for the weeks to come!” Isla

“This shop has SOUL!”

“What an amazing shop! Stuff everywhere, Vintage, retro; all donations; just how you want a charity shop to be!”

“This is a lovely shop! I am glad I did my work experience here, the team were so inspiring and I am thankful for the stuff they taught us. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. Keep it up!”

Oxygen Enterprise : Designed to identify young people’s talents and help them develop business ideas utilising the opportunities provided by the shop. Young people come up with their idea and submit an outline business plan. We seek to identify the funds needed and a business mentor for them to work with to take their idea to the next stage.

Alternative Education: For some of the most vulnerable people we support, Oxygen has become a key provider of their education tailoring intervention to support their wellbeing and enabling them to access learning. Through tailored mentoring, enterprise activities at the Oxygen Shop, we have become a solution for young people who have struggled to access support elsewhere.

Young people facing complex challenges, special educational needs, mental health issues, and trauma thrive at Oxygen, where the team goes above and beyond in their professional development. This reflects Oxygen's commitment to believing in and prioritizing young people.

We encounter young people with a range of challenges, special educational needs and mental health issues, and often an intersection of them all. Many are unable to engage with education or with their wider community, but by working holistically, on their terms and in a way that centres on a trusting relationship, we help them overcome these barriers. I am proud of the outcomes our team have achieved by giving young people the support they need in order to thrive. Charles Bamford, Deputy CEO

Street Pastors

Kingston

Kingston Street Pastors is part of Oxygen but we have our own management board called the SPITT team comprised of Oxygen staff and key partners from local churches, police and local authority. Members are: Rev. Lesley Charlton (chair), Teresa James, John Trend, Rev. Dr. Karl Rutlidge, Cllr. Alison Holt, Sue Shaw, Scott Fraser

Afternoon patrols have grown significantly over the last year with increasing support being provided to daytime businesses particularly where they have been victims of crime or antisocial behaviour. We continue to engage with and support local rough sleepers working in partnership with organisations like Kingston Churches Action on Homelessness and SPEAR to signpost vulnerable individuals to the help that they need.

Street Pastors continues to be highly regarded by Kingston Council, Kingston Police and our partners in the night time economy for the contribution we make to safety and wellbeing. We would particularly like to thank Echo Trust (part of Neos group who operate Circuit and Bonnie Rogues) for their financial support during this period.

what's the point? Tackling violent crime, Misogyny + exploring identity

What's the point? is a Social Action project developed in 2013 by young people and Oxygen to give them a safe place, and the opportunity to discuss key issues. It gives young people a voice, helps them to understand a range of perspectives, and consider their values and beliefs. WTP enables them to take action, confident in who they are and affect the culture around them.

The What's the point?

"Being part of the “What's the point?” programme, l ooking back, ... I have to say that it was the single most significant thing I did throughout my secondary school career! It was the point at which I grew up, took responsibility and tried to change something." Abed

We have delivered knife crime education sessions at curriculum days in two local secondary schools and supported several young people who have been victims of Knife and violent crime through mentoring and community based support. We are grateful for continued support and funding from the Violence Reduction Unit through MOPAC and of a grant from Surbiton Rotary Club.

Surbiton Rotary

The anxiety created by the Red vs Blue schools wars issue was very real for young people. Oxygen worked closely with local schools, Police and authorities to minimise the campaign’s impact, with members of the Oxygen team going out with Kingston Street Pastors patrols on key dates to keep our streets safe.

MENTORING

Awarded KBA Removing Barriers Champion 2024-25

Oxygen has been delivering mentoring for 20+ years and engages over 25 young people per week. We are now receiving nearly 100 referrals per year of young people, many of whom are in crisis, in alternative provision or NEET.

Oxygen’s mentors start from the young person’s perspective and help them feel that they have a voice, some control and are working in a way that puts their needs first and in line with the Mentoring Quality Framework (G.L.A.)

----- End of picture text -----

With funding from the Richmond Foundation, Benefact Trust, Surbiton Neighbourhood and AFC, Oxygen has been able to support young people across Kingston, Richmond and Twickenham. Utilising the skills of the team we are able to offer ongoing support to those most in need with referrals coming from schools, A.F.C, social workers, the youth offending team and in some cases directly from parents or other family members.

Youth work allows us to build consistent and meaningful relationships, putting young people at the heart of what we do and allowing their voices to be heard. W e take their opinions, ideas and concerns and work alongside the young people to identify areas that they want to improve or change, and supporting them to succeed.

The need for mentoring seems greater than ever and we are always on the lookout for new mentors to help support and encourage young people. Are you interested in becoming a mentor? We would love to hear from you!

I recently attended an AFC Youth football match and noticed a young person I had previously mentored during his time at school. I went over to say hello and was encouraged to hear that he is doing well. The young person then introduced me to his coaches, explaining that I had been his mentor at school and sharing how much the support had meant to him. It was a simple but encouraging reminder that the time invested in young people can have a lasting impact, even long after the mentoring relationship has finished . Danica Hall, Youth Support Worker

(Dave) has made positive progress during the period I have been working with him. He engages well in sessions, and is developing greater confidence and stability in his routine. Attending climbing sessions at White Spider and the club at Ham Youth Centre together was a significant step forward, as it provided opportunities for social interaction with peers in a safe, structured and dynamic environment.

RM1

Coombe boys

Rm1 is an after school club running at Coombe Boys School in New Malden. The project was initially conceived in 2009 to assist young people in the transition from junior school to secondary, a process which can be challenging and disruptive for many, particularly for those with complex needs or vulnerable to bullying.

There has been a big change in the way we work at Coombe Boys, due to the renovations. We no longer have our own dedicated space but have been allocated a classroom and can still use the outdoor areas. Working closely with the head of year 8, we are supporting a group of students who need extra support with the challenges they face focusing on team work, building confidence and resilience as well as working on a 121 basis.

We meet the young people where they are and look to build lasting and meaningful relations with the staff and within the group, whilst providing access to opportunities to engage in other Oxygen projects such as mentoring, volunteering in the shop, FUEL activities and more.

W e have been able to collaborate with Full Cycle placing a mentor there to support one of the students interested in mechanics. We have also supported students in key meetings and help facilitate changes to timetables to meet their educational needs.

Adam Kelly, Youth Support Worker

It is a real privilege to be able to work with a charity that is able to complement the work that we do as a school and fill in the gaps that education has when it comes to addressing the needs of boys. The boys that have been attending the club have shown improvements in many different ways. Whilst some are very tangible, such as the student

with poor attendance who has not missed a single day this half term, other improvements are not measured by data, but are more noticeable in how the student presents himself when speaking to his peers, or to a member of staff.

Oxygen has a deep rooted relationship with Coombe Boys' School and I am honoured to help foster that continued relationship. It is greatly appreciated by the boys in our school also. Bryan Hackett, Head of year 8

Get Active!

Walking, cycling, sport + the great outdoors!

Oxygen has been able to increase the opportunities it provides for young people, staff and volunteers to access outdoor spaces and so improve mental and physical wellbeing. We are extremely grateful to the following funders for their support and FullCycle:

TFL Walking and Cycling: Grassroots funding from Transport for London for Oxygen's project to encourage local people to cycle and walk more.

Sport England “Go London“ : F unding from the Mayor of London, Marathon Foundation and Sport England to support Oxygen's sports based mentoring and broaden our offer of sport and physical activities.

City of London Green spaces, “Ashted Common”: Funding from City of London for Oxygen's project on Ashtead common delivering outdoor and environmental activities with young people.

D’Oyly Carte: Funding to introduce disadvantaged and marginalised young people to the practical and emotional benefits of wildlife, nature and conservation.

Youth Participation

Youth Board + Jack Petchey Awards

Youth participation is central to Oxygen’s approach and we take every opportunity to celebrate young people’s achievements and engage them in designing and collaborating at all levels of the organisation. Our developing leaders programme trains and equips young people to enhance their skills and take on leadership roles.

Our Youth Board meet regularly to discuss with staff and Trustees the work we do and are involved in key decision making processes such as interviewing staff, helping set up a Minecraft server for our digital youth work platform and deciding how the shop should be adapted and improved.

The Jack Petchey Awards give young people an opportunity to make a difference in deciding what trips and activities we do and what resources we buy to facilitate the programmes we run at Oxygen.

Oxygen have continued to receive the support of young people in 8 Faith Tutor Group at Holy Cross School who selected Oxygen as their charity for their First Give project. The students held an awareness raising walk, made business cards and visited the shop as well as having a pyjama day!

Many thanks 8 Faith!

about this project

Our Digital Youth Work project was an innovation designed to engage young people during lockdown but has enabled us to support a new group of young people who would not attend a face-to-face youth group. In fact the project is particularly successful at supporting young people who are isolated and struggle in social situations or are just very into gaming.

“Going onto the Minecraft youth club on Wednesdays is the highlight of my week. I can chat to Charlie and get help if I am not feeling great” Gamer

We recognise that video games such as Minecraft are a way young people can express themselves, have fun and learn valuable skills. The project provides opportunities for young people to connect with Oxygen's Team so that they can receive valuable support and build social skills.

How we work Theory of change

A Theory of Change is designed to help us understand the processes we go through to achieve our desired outcomes. Much of our work is achieved through building relationships which seek to encourage young people and walk with them to help them over the challenges they encounter.

----- Start of picture text -----
We work primarily with young people aged 10 to 18 who are experiencing (or are at risk of) educational or
social exclusion. They may have been excluded from school, on reduced timetables, or at risk of offending.
Our focus is on young people living in Kingston upon Thames and surrounding boroughs who face
heightened challenges including increased risk of disengagement from education, mental health

The Oxygen Board has within it an excellent range of skills in running successful businesses, care homes for young people, community activism and International Law. The are members of the local community who understand the issues we are tackling through their own experience, and so are committed to helping Oxygen fulfil its purpose and mission in the best possible way.

risk Management

Oxygen's Trustee Board and staff team assess the risks and threats encountered in delivering our work and take steps to minimise and manage risk, to ensure that beneficiaries, staff, volunteers and the general public are protected from avoidable harm. We have in place a register to manage controls over finances, the delivery of our services, the management of the shop as well as theoretical risk where that can be foreseen.

The Oxygen Team is suitably qualified to undertake the work of the charity with training on fire safety, mental health first aid, youth work practice, trauma informed practice, food hygiene amongst other subjects. Assessment and mitigation of risk is built into our daily routines. However, accidents do happen and, when they occur, they are evaluated to identify if steps can be taken to prevent harm in the future. All staff and volunteers working with young people undergo an enhanced DBS check.

R isk is a constant factor in our lives and we educate young people to be aware of the choices they make and the impact those decisions have on their future. This is particularly evident in our work through the "What's the point?" programme tackling knife and violent crime.

Volunteering in the shop has given me a space where I can switch off from the pressures and anxieties of school and home life and put my energy into helping others but in a very practical way. I have felt accepted and valued and uplifted as well as gaining skills I will need in the future.

Ive been meeting with Adam for mentoring sessions and he managed to help me when I was on S25 ( punishment) and he helped me change my language lessons, which I am grateful for.

We are an award winning Team! We were delighted to be recognised at the 2024 Kingston Borough Business Awards winning the “Removing Barriers Champion” and coming Runner Up in the “Best Charity” category.

Volunteers + Champions

*Oxygen is delighted to have a strong team of over 350 committed volunteers and a network of people in churches, local businesses, and organisations who champion our work and ensure we continue to have the resources we need to improve young peoples lives and make the world a better place. *** Adults and young people over the last 3 years

“I started volunteering at Oxygen after I witnessed a young person carrying a knife in Kingston Town centre. That incident has stayed with me and I am still praying for that young person. I believe that every young person is valued by God and should be seen for their potential and not their circumstances.

Volunteer Mentor Fundraise

When I found out that Oxygen needed some admin support, I felt that this was something I could do to help in a practical way to support the charity. Even though what I do is behind the scenes, I love hearing stories of how Oxygen is making an impact on young people’s lives in our community.” Elena Boothman, Admin Volunteer

Rev. Peter Holmes Award

Rev. Peter Holmes was a Trustee of Oxygen who died during Covid. In his honour we created an award recognising young people working to benefit others in their community.

This space is left blank as the Awards will be announced at our Prize giving in June 2026

Fundraisers

We are delighted to recieve the financial support of a range of organisations, churches and individuals. However it speaks volumes when a parent and her sons go out of their way to thak Oxygen for their work by raising money! Thank you so much to Elijah, Josiah and their mum Suzanne, for their hard work

Oxygen C.I.O. Annual report 2024-25

Finance Overview

Oxygen has managed to develop a range of varied funding streams including The Greater London Authority, The Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames, Achieving For Children, London Youth, Trusts and Foundations as well as strong support from several local churches, businesses and individual donors, many of whom are faith motivated. Of course we also have our charity shop in New Malden High Street which provides a vehicle for supporters to give by donating goods as well as a courageous team of Fundraising Champions who raise financial gifts through sponsorship.

The significant increase in demand in tackling young people’s mental health needs has been reflected in the competition for grant funding. It is likely to become harder to secure money through bids to grant givers in the future.

Income £284,895 Expenditure £285,933

Gift Aid Churches 4.5% 11.1% Faith based giving accounts for at least 25.4% of Charity Shop Oxygen's income, although this is actually much 17.3% Individuals higher given that a sizeable proportion of donors to 13.3% the shop are also faith motivated. Contracts with Achieving for Children and other organisations account for 19.8%. Grants, the largest portion of the pie are comprised of funds from the Local Authority, Greater London Authority (via London Contracts Youth), Richmond Foundation, Tabhair and various 700Grants 19.8% trusts and foundations. 34.1% 53 hours of YP/PA As stated in our previous report for 2024, Oxygen secured multi-year funding in 2020 of £50k per activity annum, enabling us to expand our mentoring capacity and hire more staff to meet the needs of young people. However, despite exceeding our performance targets, securing ongoing funding has proven challenging with increased need and greater competition and the stretch on our staffing, . As a result, we had to use reserves in both 2023/24 and 2024/25 financial years to maintain current staffing levels. This used up our reserve and meant that our staffing costs have needed to be reduced over the last year which has been achieved by not recruiting, when staff move on. We are exploring a range of funding strategies and are hopeful that funds will be secured to avoid losing valued staff and recruit additional personnel to support more vulnerable young people.

We are immensely grateful to those amazing supporters in the local community who run events and fundraise for Oxygen! Again the quiz night at the Wych Elm Pub, wine tasting at St. Marks church, Thank you! Every bit helps!

partners stronger Together

Oxygen can only function alongside other agencies with whom we have built lasting partnerships and collaborations.

We firmly believe that co-production and colaboration relies upon relationships between agencies and community partners and particularly between Government and the Voluntary, Faith and Community Sector.

Oxygen has been at the heart of the development of the voluntary sector and wider networks both strategically and on the front line. We work alongside our partners who each bring their own knowledge and expertise, to develop new ways of working to meet the needs of our community

“ To me, Oxygen are a group of people who see the growing image of God in young people and help them unlock that in themselves. They work in various ways with various partners and from experience, I know that Oxygen workers will go the extra mile for the young people in their care. In a sense, Oxygen can help inspire the wider church to be more truly what God wants it to be." Rev. Robert Stanier, St. Marks Church, Surbiton.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basisofpreparingthefinancialstatements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Expenditure Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangiblefixedassets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Computer equipment - 25% on reducing balance

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Grants payablein furtheranceof thecharity'sobjects

Grants payable are charged in the year when the grant is paid.

Reserves Policy

The trustees consider that the charity needs to retain sufficient unrestricted reserves at all times in order to maintain its work. It is therefore the aim of the trustees to retain between 3 and 6 months operating costs as free reserves that are not invested in tangible fixed assets. The reserves are regularly monitored by the trustees.
