Trustees' Report
The Trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024.
During this period, the charity had dormant accounts.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) Foundation, as a body corporate under Part 11 of the Charities Act 2011 on 29 June 2016.
Trustees are legally responsible for the governance and management of the charity. Trustees are responsible for setting strategies and policies, and to ensure these are implemented.
Risk Management
The charity's trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed potential risks. Systems and procedures have been put in place to manage the risks and to mitigate against any adverse outcomes.
Objectives and Activities
The objects of the CIO are, for the public benefit and in accordance with the Christian values and ethos of the CIO:
(a) To promote social inclusion by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society; and
(b) To develop the capacity and skills of the members of (i) socially disadvantaged; and (ii) socially and economically disadvantaged communities, in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.
For the purpose of this clause (b), “socially excluded” means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one or more of the following factors: unemployment; financial hardship; youth or old age; ill health (physical or mental); substance abuse or dependency including alcohol and drugs; discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, disability, ethnic origin, religion, belief, creed, sexual orientation or gender re-assignment; poor educational or skills attainment; relationship and family breakdown; poor housing (that is housing that does

not meet basic habitable standards); or crime (either as a victim of crime or as an offender rehabilitating into society).
Achievements and Performance
The CIO was dormant during this period.
Financial Review
No transaction took place during this period.
Future Plans
Trelis was the charitable partner of the Goscombe Group of companies.
The Goscombe Group of companies went into liquidation in July 2024.
Trelis trustees voted to repurpose the charity to provide charitable activities independent from the Goscombe Group.
Trelis trustees began drafting a strategic plan in November 2024 and will consult legal counsel before approaching the Charities Commission concerning any revisions to Trelisʼ charitable objects in due course.

Trustees' Responsibilities Statement
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities
