BEYOND THE WILD CIO
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
## **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’s Managing Director, Will Hince, has had to step away from working for the charity to focus on caring for his young son who has complex medical needs. The trustees have supported Will in this and are grateful for his ongoing voluntary contributions to the charity.
Beyond the Wild has continued to have an online presence with digital media resources and online content on social media platforms and YouTube, as well as Beyond the Wild’s website. All media resources and online content continued to be offered freely to the public.
Beyond the Wild has had to place our “hands-on” events (retreats, workshops, and talks) on hold but continues to look at the possibility of creating a video series to make our course content (both the wilderness survival elements and the spiritual survival catechesis) into a freely available video series.
The trustees would like to thank all those who have supported Beyond the Wild in its mission.
