BEYOND THE WILD CIO
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
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
Beyond the Wild gave talks to years 7 & 8 in Cardinal Pole school, London. The talks were full of positive engagement from the students and the charity received great feedback from the school.
Beyond the Wild continued to develop media resources and online content including 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.
Beyond the Wild is looking to create a video series to take our course content (both the wilderness survival elements and the spiritual survival catechesis) and to make it into a freely available video series. We are very grateful to receive our first donation specifically for this project from the Guild of Our Lady of Ransom.
In July 2022 the charity received the resignation of Mr Nazar Al Samarai who served Beyond the Wild as its Chair of Trustees from 2018 until 2022 as well as putting in a huge amount of work to set Beyond the Wild up as a charity. The trustees and all involved in the mission of Beyond the Wild would like to take this opportunity to thank Nazar for his hard work, generosity, and guidance.
The support that Beyond the Wild received in 2022 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.
