Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	We are proud to say that every school that has booked the programme, has rebooked, despite the partial cost to them. Schools choose children that they know are not engaging in learning for whatever reason. We have consistent evidence that the programme provides clear benefits.

Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	The fundraising objective was to cover the costs of the TRUST programmes not covered by the fees charged to the schools. This objective was met and then exceeded thanks to a £5,000 donation from the Wyfold Charitable Trust at the end of May 2024. The fundraising created a surplus of £6,658 for the year which enables the charity to plan to run more TRUST programme sessions in 2024/25.
Investment performance against objectives	Para 1.41	There were no investment objectives separate to the achievements section above as all investment was in the TRUST Programme activities. In terms of financial investment, a small amount of interest was earned on the excess funds held by the charity by transferring them to a savings account.

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	Donations – public and corporate Fees from schools for their pupils attending the TRUST programmes. Profits from fundraising events.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46	The only investment policy is to fund the TRUST Programme activities. In terms of financial investment policy, any cash surplus is transferred to a savings account to earn interest.
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	Funding risk is the main risk as without funding we cannot run the TRUST programme. Contractor risk is also significant as the charity relies heavily on one contractor and if that person were to become unavailable then it would be very challenging to provide the TRUST programme to pupils. Health and Safety is a risk as the TRUST programme is run outside on a farm around trees. Appropriate policies are in place, but all risk cannot be eliminated.

No one is entitled to act as a charity trustee whether on appointment or on any re- appointment until he or she has expressly acknowledged, in whatever way the charity trustees decide, his or her acceptance of the office of charity trustee. There must be at least two charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees or appoint a new charity trustee.

The charity trustees may not appoint any charity trustee if as a result the number of charity trustees would exceed the maximum every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
