Review of Activities and Achievements Overview of the Year During the reporting period, the charity was not operational and did not deliver charltable activities. This period represented a developmental phase for the charity. Progress towards becoming operational was slower than anticipated due to funding uncertainty and limited governance capaclty. Planned Professional and Developmental Support At the outset of the charity's formatlon. it was anticipated that the existing external corporate partner would provide professional and developmental support to the charity, working in conjunttion with Hogan Lovells, particularly around governance, legal structuring, and organisational development.
MENTIVITY This support initially helped us to move the needle on matters quite significantly and was expected to contribute significantly to the charlty's early-stage capaclty and readiness to commence delivery in 2025. Change In Circumstances Due to the wider financial climate in both the UK and the United States, the anticipated external corporate partner subsequently stepped back from progressing this support. As a result, the planned involvement of corporate- linked professional support ceased. This change had a material impact on the charity's development during the year, particularly as elements of the charity's early governance planning had been linked to this anticipated support model. Current Position In response, the Trustees have begun re-evaluating how the charity moves forward, including: Reviewing governance and professional support arrangements. Reducing reliance on anticipated external or corporate-linked support. Ensuring that future plans are aligned with confirmed capacity and resources rather than projected support. 6. Governance and Trustee Matters The Trustees acknowledge that maintaining govemance capacity during the reportlng period was challenging. Trustees faced competing professional and personal commitments, which limited the pace at which the charity could progsS. The Trustees remain committed to strengthenlng governance arrangements and ensuring the Board is appropriately skilled and resourced as the charity develops.
MENTIVITY 7. Financial Review Income and Expenditure The charlty had minimal financial attlvity during the reporting period. No significant income was received, and expenditure was limited to essential administrative and compliance-related costs only. No fundraising attlvities were undertaken during the year. Reserves Policy As the charity was not operatlonal, a formal resepdes policy was not implemented during the reporting period. The Trustees intend to establish an appropriate reserves policy once income generation and programme delivery commence. 8. Risk Management The Trustees have identified the following principal risks.
