000The Oli Leigh Trust
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31[st] May 2022
Objects
The Oli Leigh Trust was established by Trust Deed on 17[th] May 2019 to advance such charitable purposes for the public benefit in England and Wales as the trustees see fit from time to time, in particular, but not limited to, the reduction in suicide rates among young people, by making grants to other charities and not for profit organisations who work for the public benefit in the area of suicide prevention.
The objectives are met by raising funds through events and sponsorships, and receiving donations from supporters, and making grants to organisations working to reduce the rate of teenage suicide in the UK.
The Trust was registered with the Charity Commission on 8[th] April 2020, Charity Number 1188968.

Trustees responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records and for preparing the trustees’ report and the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission for England and Wales.
Reserves
The trustees consider that the Trust should hold in reserves, as a minimum, 25% of net funds raised.
Activities
The Trustees have continued to grow the fundraising and profile of the Trust in many areas.
The highlight of the year was a Suicide Prevention and Awareness evening hosted by The Oli Leigh Trust held in The Chancellor of the Exchequer’s private function room in No. 11 Downing Street. The Trust invited three charities to whom grants have been awarded to present their work to an invited audience of politicians, business leaders, philanthropists and charitable organisations. The event was very important to spread awareness of the vital work being done in the field of suicide prevention.
Our Patrons programme has entered its second year with many Patrons renewing and new ones coming onboard and we are very grateful for their support. Individuals and corporates are invited to become a silver, gold, diamond or platinum Patron.
During the year the Trust appointed Obi Burchell and Logan Deyong as Ambassadors, to increase awareness of the Trust and spread our message. We are thrilled with these appointments and excited about working together to advance the work and profile of the Trust.
The Trust is also delighted to have announced two new corporate sponsorships during the year, Find Your Glow and Remedium Partners, who have chosen to make The Oli Leigh Trust their nominated charity for the year. These sponsorships will provide the Trust with invaluable support and funds.
A number of very successful fundraising events have been held during the year. These include a 7-a-side football tournament and a drag bingo evening. Additionally, several enormously successful social media campaigns have been run during the year which have both raised funds for the Trust and raised our profile. These include our annual #orange4oli campaign, run to coincide with the anniversary of Oli’s passing, which continues to grow in profile, with our Chair of Trustees, Michelle, featuring again on the London ITN news.
In 2023 the Trust is planning an Alpine Trek challenge and applications to participate are now welcomed.
Michelle has also taken part in radio shows, podcasts and several online talks to schools and other organisations. Michelle was also featured in a Guardian article titled Guardian Angels about people who have given back to society after facing tragedy in their lives. As a thank you Michelle was treated to a dance lesson with a Strictly dance professional.
During the year the Trust published a children’s book, The Moon Made a Promise, which is now on sale to raise funds for the Trust. The Trust is currently in the process of launching a range of merchandise and an online shop to be launched later this year
The Trust has also been supported by many individuals and groups during the period with fundraising campaigns and donations and we are extremely grateful for their support. Our Trustee Steven Salamon ran The London Marathon for the Trust and other supporters ran a half-marathon, held a cinema night, completed a Spinathon, had online birthday fundraisers, had their hair cut, held a wellbeing yoga session and competed in a Colour Run.
The accounts, which are prepared on a receipts and payments basis, show total receipts for the year of £46,109 (2021: £38,582) and total payments of £23,070 (2021: £29,776), with net receipts, after grants distributed, of £23,039.
The Trust has awarded three grants during the year.
-
R;pple Suicide Prevention £10,000 - We were delighted to make this grant to help fund the development and maintenance of the R;pple Suicide Prevention Tool which seeks to reduce exposure to harmful online content
-
The Inspirational Learning Group £5,000 - We were thrilled to make this grant to fund the development and delivery of The Oli Leigh Trust Mental Health Awareness Challenge for Schools
-
Sport Against Suicide £4,500 – We were thrilled to be able to make this grant to fund ten educational workshops at sports clubs, delivering suicide prevention training through three lenses: awareness, intervention and postvention
Additionally, the Trust has pledged £10,000 in bursary funding for The Oli Leigh Legacy Funding Programme, a 4-part training programme delivered through The OLLIE Foundation, delivering suicide prevention, wellbeing and resilience training to students, parents and teachers in educational settings. Applications are now welcomed from schools, universities or colleges requiring funding for such training. Details are available on our website www.theolileightrust.org
Grant applications are now invited for 2023.
The Trustees would like to thank all our volunteers and supporters for all their efforts in helping the Trust help teenagers see through the fog.
