Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 23/04/2024 To 01/08/2025

Charity name: AVA WELLNESS FOUNDATION

Charity registration number: 1207966

Objectives and Activities

Summary of the purposes of AVA Wellness Foundation as set out in the governing document

AVA Wellness Foundation is established for charitable purposes, including the advancement of health and wellbeing, the prevention and relief of ill health, the advancement of education relating to health and nutrition, and other charitable purposes for the public benefit.

Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit

During its first reporting period, AVA Wellness Foundation focused on establishing its governance framework, developing partnerships and delivering activities that advanced its health and wellbeing objectives.

A major activity during the period was the coordination and distribution of 6,000 folic acid supplement packs together with educational materials explaining the importance of folic acid supplementation. The initiative was designed to improve awareness of folic acid and support public health outcomes, particularly among women who may benefit from increased awareness of folic acid intake. It has been successfully implemented in baby boxes.

The charity received the folic acid packs and educational materials, coordinated volunteer support, prepared the packs for distribution and worked with partner organisations to ensure they reached members of the public free of charge, including at women’s events and networking events for brainstorming about folic acid.

Public benefit statement

The trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when planning and carrying out the charity's activities.

Contribution made by volunteers

Volunteers assisted in receiving, organising, preparing and packing approximately 6,000 folic acid supplement packs and associated educational materials. They also supported the coordination and administration of the distribution programme and assisted with the development of the charity's activities during its first year of operation.

Achievements and Performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity

This was the charity's first reporting period following registration.

During the period, the charity successfully established its governance structure, developed partnerships and participated in the delivery of a public health awareness initiative focused on the importance of folic acid supplementation.

The trustees believe these activities contributed to the charity's objectives of advancing health and wellbeing and provided a foundation for future charitable programmes.
