## BEYOND THE WILD CIO
## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The objects of the charity are to advance the Catholic faith within England and Wales, for the benefit of the public, in particular but not exclusively by wilderness survival experiences which include:
- a) engaging individuals in their Catholic faith through outdoor wilderness survival activities which draw parallels between material life and spiritual life.
- b) furthering the knowledge of the Catholic faith of individuals through dynamic talks and practical workshops.
- c) teaching necessary practical skills to survive in the wilderness.
- d) teaching necessary skills for the survival and flourishing of faith in a modern world.
## **Public benefit**
The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and paid due regard to it in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
The trustees are satisfied that the ongoing activities which Beyond the Wild is involved in means that the charity is continuing to meet the public benefit requirement.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
Like many organisations Beyond the Wild’s work was impacted by the Covid 19 pandemic which led to the cancellation of the charity’s 2020 courses and events due to national lockdowns and health and safety concerns for event participants and leaders. This did not stop Beyond the Wild from continuing to carry out its objectives in 2020 but instead led to an increased focus on media resources and online content including training resources and online events for Catholic dioceses around England, Beyond the Wild resources on social media platforms and YouTube, as well as the ongoing development of Beyond the Wild’s website. All media resources and online content continued to be offered freely to the public.
Whilst it was a great disappointment not to be able to minister to people face to face the trustees were struck by the impact that our online content can have on peoples’ lives with one person even getting in touch to say that she was going back to church after 20 years away after reading a Beyond the Wild post on social media.
Beyond the Wild continued to fundraise and to build for the future and because of the charity’s flexibility and size we were able to reduce costs to a minimum ensuring that the charity remained financially stable throughout the pandemic.
The support that Beyond the Wild received in 2020 allowed us to reach out to many with our message of living life to the full and the trustees would like to thank all those who have financially supported Beyond the Wild in its mission.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
In the year ended 31 December 2020 all income received and expenditure was unrestricted.
For the year ended 31 December 2020 there was a surplus of £2,231.
The trustees seek to maintain sufficient reserves to ensure the smooth ongoing day to day operations of the charity. We aim to ensure that every activity covers its own costs and where this is not the case we seek to introduce measures to increase revenue.
During the financial year, donations received amounted to £1,355 and income from courses and events raised £1,844.
Total costs amounted to £968.
## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees**
The charity trustees give their time voluntarily and received no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in the accounts.
The report of the trustees was approved by the board of trustees on 27[th] October 2020 and signed on its behalf by:
Mr Nazar Al Samarai Chair of Trustees

BEYOND THE WILD CIO
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AT 31 DECEMBER 2020
## **1. GUARANTEES AND DEBT**
In line with the Charitable Incorporated Organisations (General) Regulations 2012 the trustees confirm that
a) no guarantee was given by the CIO, where any potential liability under the guarantee is outstanding at the date of the statement of assets and liabilities; and
b) no debt was outstanding at the date the statement of assets and liabilities which is owed by the CIO and which is
secured by an express charge on any of the assets of the CIO.
In line with the Charity Commission’s guidance “Charity reporting and accounting: the essentials March 2015 (CC15c)” and in line with Beyond the Wild’s constitution, the CIO has not undertaken to have its accounts independently examined or audited as the CIO’s gross income was less than £25,000 for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The trustees have not required the CIO to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
## **2. TRUSTEES' REMUNERATION AND BENEFITS**
There were no trustees' remuneration or other benefits for the year ended 31st December 2020.
## **Trustees' expenses**
There were no trustees' expenses paid for the year ended 31st December 2020.
## **3. STAFF COSTS**
The average monthly number of employees during the year ended 31[st] December 2020 was 1.
No employees received emoluments in excess of £60,000.
## **4. DEBTORS: AMOUNTS FALLING DUE WITHIN ONE YEAR**
There were no debtors for the year ended 31st December 2020.
## **5. CREDITORS: AMOUNTS FALLING DUE WITHIN ONE YEAR**
There were no creditors for the year ended 31st December 2020.
## **6. MOVEMENT IN FUNDS**
There was no movement in funds for the year ended 31st December 2020.
## **7. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES**
There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31st December 2020.
## **8. RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS RECORDING**
Following a review process which looked at Beyond the Wild’s receipts and payments recording the trustees decided to carry out an overhaul of receipts and payments recording to dovetail with HMRC's annual accounts requirements. Moving forwards receipts will be simplified into 3 categories: “Operational”, “Administration”, and “Raising Funds”. Expenses such as employment will be divided into these categories to allow benefactors to see how Beyond the Wild is focusing its spending. In Beyond the Wild’s 2020 accounts the previous year’s receipts and payments breakdown has been adjusted to match new receipts and payments recording method.
The financial statements were approved by the board of trustees on 27[th] October 2020 and signed on its behalf by:
Mr Nazar Al Samarai
