**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

Apex Extreme trustees continue to conduct litter cleanup activities within the West Midlands region. Clean ups have primarily taken place in local woodland areas. 

Trustees are in early discussion with Sharky Publishing about creating a working relationship to promote awareness for marine ecosystems and the wildlife that live within them, with a heavy focus on sharks. Discussions continue how both parties can make a significant impact on educating the young minds of today to become better caretakers of the future.
