Summary of the main activities undertaken
During the financial year in review the charity faced further restrictions due to covid but remained able to deliver projects supporting disadvantaged youth including those on the vulnerable young offenders program. No new staff were taken on in this period and no major new investments or projects were undertaken, in a effort to maintain stability through uncertain times. The Trustees are confident that all activities undertaken have alined with the charities aims and objectives and have served our beneficiaries needs as pledged. We have received continued support from a number of volunteers who have helped indirectly with difficulties such as IT and practical project tasks.
The charity has seen impressive benefits from our Equine assisted courses and will be looking to grow this area of what it covers in 2022 and 2023. We will continue to work in partnership with Oakhill secure training unit for vulnerable young offenders and look to offer referrals from surrounding schools. The Trustees have taken responsibility for maintaining all relevant policies, including but not limited to Safe guardian, Risk assessments and staff code of conduct. We are pleased to report no major incidents needing the attention of the board occurred during this financial period.

Achievements and performance
Financial review
At the end of the previous financial year we received a payment in advance for activities to be delivered in this financial year. This means that at the end of 2020 - 2021s financial year we had £17,036 surplus, much of which was intended for the
2021-2022 financial year. Therefore with the addition of sums raised by grant making trusts throughout the year, the total expenses to the charity of £40,355 still left the charity with £5,657 surplus at year end.
We feel the charity has made good use of funds and delivered well considering the situation of the pandemic. Moving into the next financial year we are looking to expand our projects and increase our reserves.
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
The charity has a policy that no expansion or new projects can be developed unless there is a minimum of three months running costs in reserves.
