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

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.| |Other||| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s

person.
No individual may be appointed as a charity
trustee of the CIO if he or she is under the
age of 18 years; or if he or she would
automatically cease to hold office in the
reasonable opinion of the charity trustees,
has become physically or mentally incapable
of acting as a charity trustee and may remain
so for more than three months and the
charity trustees resolve that he or she should
be removed; or is disqualified from acting as a
charity trustee by virtue of sections 178-180 of
the Charities Act 2011 (or any statutory re-
enactment or modification of that provision).
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 maximum
number of charity trustees is 12. 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.| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a |Policies and procedures
