**Healthy Abingdon: Charity Number 1172245** **Annual Report** ## **Trustees’ Annual Report for 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025** ## _**Governance**_ Healthy Abingdon is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Foundation model) registered in England and Wales on 24 March 2017. We are governed by our constitution which came into force on our registration date, along with our policies and procedures adopted by the trustees after formation. Our charity number is 1172245. Our purpose is to bring together community groups, statutory groups, and individuals to find ways to improve health and wellbeing in the town of Abingdon including neighbouring small communities for which Abingdon is the centre. Our beneficiaries are people in this area. Our trustees during the year were, David Butterworth FREng (chair) Tim Hayes Catherine McNeill Cllr Helen Pighills We have a procedure for appointing trustees which includes an application form, references from two referees and a meeting of the potential trustee with the existing trustees. To facilitate good interaction between community groups and other service providers, we invite these groups to become Health Abingdon Associates. These Associates are invited to our public meetings to discuss ideas with us and to network with other groups. Each Associate also has an information page on our web site in to tell the public what it does. The registered address for the charity is 29 Clevelands Abingdon Oxfordshire, OX14 2EQ ## _**Progress during the year**_ Our main event for the year was Abingdon Healthfest 2024. This is the fourth year we ran the event. We set up gazebos in Abingdon Marketplace on Saturday 7 September to enable groups which encourage and help people to improve their health and well-being to engage with the public. Twenty groups were present. The event was opened by the Town Crier and the Deputy Mayor attended to talk to the stallholders and public. The stallholders found it a useful way to tell people about what they do and to encourage people to join them. One area of Abingdon is amongst 20 per cent of the most deprived in England. We have continued work with the Oxfordshire County Council Steering Group which is finding ways to improve people’s lives in this area. In attrition to advising the group on health and wellbeing matters we have been working on setting up a junior parkrun in the area. We successfully launched the parkrun in July 2024 which now runs under the auspices of Parkrun UK. It has proved extremely popular with typically 50 to 80 runners of 4 to 14 years of age participating on Sunday mornings. We have produced an interactive map on our web site which shows that location of benches in the town. This is to enable people with walking limitations to find where they can take a rest thus enabling them to get out more for exercise. 1 **Healthy Abingdon: Charity Number 1172245** **Annual Report** ## _**Our plans.**_ - We will hold Abingdon Healthfest 2025 on Saturday 6 September. - Abingdon is blessed with many beautiful green spaces, so we plan to produce a section of our web site which contains a map showing the major spaces. Clicking on a space on the map will take users to a web page giving details and pictures of the space - We will continue to look out for gaps in the coverage of health and wellbeing services in the town and consider ways to mitigate these. ## _**Finances**_ As a charity with turnover below £25k, trustees have agreed that we keep receipts/payments accounts and that we do not need an independent assessment. These accounts are shown in the Appendix. As we have no paid staff or other ongoing financial commitments, trustees have agreed that we only need to hold a small reserve of £200 to cover basic expenses were we to lose our current funding. This will give us about a year to find new funding or close the charity without any debts. Most of our income comes from charitable trusts and grants from local councils. We estimate that trustees for the charity gave about 740 hours of their time during the year to the charity which at the National Living Wage would equate to be over £9000. ## _**Declaration**_ The trustees declare that they have approved the above report and the following accounts.
