This change was reflected in our updated constitution, adopted on 10 September 2024.

2. Structure, Governance and Management
Cayr Charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) governed by a constitution adopted on 10 January 2024. The charity is managed by a board of trustees who meet regularly and are responsible for its strategic direction and oversight. Trustees are through an open and transparent recruitment procedure, and their appointment is confirmed through a resolution at trustee meetings, as set out in our governing Document.
3. Objectives and Activities
Cayr Charity exists to promote health and wellbeing and advance arts, culture, and heritage, particularly through creative activities that support public health. During the financial year, our activities focused on participatory arts projects in London and early-stage development for a future breast cancer support programme. Our charitable activities included:
-
A Common London Story (Westminster):
-
a. Church Street Market film project (March 2024): 26 participants explored regeneration through photography, animation, and sound design.
-
b. Maida Vale creative workshops (2 days): 19 participants learned filming and storytelling techniques.
-
c. Exhibition at Grand Junction: Showcased community artwork to an audience of approx. 400 visitors across one week.
-
International Women’s Month poetry sessions (March 2024): Four workshops with 10 participants exploring poetry for self-expression and empowerment.
-
Pink Stitch (planning stage only): Initial fundraising and development for a creative project supporting women with breast cancer. No delivery activity took place in 2024-25.
4. Achievements and Performance
This year marked a period of both delivery and strategic growth. Key highlights include:
-
Creative engagement with over 55 unique participants across two major project strands.
-
Reaching 400+ members of the public through our London exhibition.
-
Deepened relationships with local communities and early-stage development of our Pink Stitch programme.
-
Strengthened internal systems to prepare for long-term growth in 2025.
5. Financial Review
Cayr Charity received £61,440 in restricted funding and £29 in unrestricted donations, totalling £61,469 income for the year. Expenditure totalled the same, resulting in a neutral position for the year. Restricted funds supported our programme delivery, and the year ended with £41,703 carried forward in restricted reserves earmarked for 2025 activity, including Pink Stitch. We have not set a formal reserves policy due to the early stage of the charity but aim to develop one in 2025–26.
6. Public Benefit Statement The trustees confirm that they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. All our activities directly benefit the public through increased access to creative expression, improved mental wellbeing, and strengthened community voice.
