Aviation in Reach Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts FY 22/23
Background
Aviation in Reach was established in summer 2022, and registered as a charity in late September 2022. The team of trustees was established during the summer and 6 trustees were registered with the charities commission: Katherine Lee (Chair), Elizabeth O’Sullivan (Treasurer) and Richard Knighton (Secretary) in September 2022, and Kimberley Gough, Neema Soni-Robertson and James Stewart in January 2023.
Activity to end of FY 22/23
Our initial months of activity comprised of bringing together a diverse trustee team and establishing a shared vision for the charity, including extensive work on policies and training packages. Policies were written for: data protection; safeguarding; complaints procedures, including harassment; training.
Four trustee meetings were conducted to build the team, establish our working practices and affirm the policies.
At the end of FY 22/23, the first volunteer mentors were recruited and trained in our procedures, but they did not start working with any of their mentees until the following financial year.

The accounts have not been independently verified by an accountant due to the sole donation made meaning there is no complexity.
