the effective management of risk. A risk register has been developed, and risks are
prioritised and graded against the grading framework contained in the Risk Management
Framework.

Funds available
Staff and Trustees have demonstrated flexibility and resilience in adapting planned activities
to meet the evolving needs of the community. Despite a highly competitive funding
environment, ongoing applications have been successful, enabling the charity to sustain and
expand its services.
Robust plans are in place to support continued development and increased zctivity, aligned
with the charity's core objectives.
io

The Board of Trustees extends its sincere thanks to all staff for their dedication and hard
work throughout the year. Their commitment has been instrumental in ensuring a successful
year and securing a sustainable future for the delivery of vital services.
Investment Polic
The charity maintains a policy of retaining a prudent level of reserves each year to ensure
financial stability and operational continuity. Beyond this, most funds are allocated to short-
term activities in direct support of charitable objectives. As a result, there are currently no
funds available for long-term investment.
Reserves Pollc
The Board of Trustees has reviewed the charity's reserve requirements considering key
organisational risks. It remain5 the Board's policy to maintain reserves equivalent to at least
Six months of unrestricted operating costs. This approach is intended to safeguard the
charity's ability to continue SUPPOTting its office in St Helens and front-line staff, even in the
face of financial uncertainty.
Any Surplus funds beyond this threshold will be reinvested in adv3ncinE the charity's
objectives, supporting essential research, and delivering activities that promote meaningful
reform within the criminal justice system, ensuring it reflects arid responds to the real
challenges faced by society. The free reseNes held at the year-end were £18,722.
uali
rovement
The charity is committed to expanding the development and training opportunities available
to both paid staff and volunteers involved in the public delivery of services. This includes-.
& Enhancing in-house training programs
,& Providing access to externally actredited vocational qualifications
In addition, the charity is focused on increasing opportunities for individuals to volunteer
and contribute to the work of the Trust, Strengthening community enEagement and
broadening the impact of its service5.
PUBUC BENEFIT
The ongoing challenges across public, private, and charitable funding sectors continue to
shape our approach to service delivery. In response, the charity has t2ken proactive steps to
strengthen its operational structures.
We have transitioned from a centralised management model toward a more robust, locallv
driven management system. This shift enables greater responsiveness to community needs
and enhances the effectiveness of front-line services. The development of this localised
approach will remain a key focus in the coming year.
How our activitles deliver publlc benefit
The Directors of Apex Charitable Trust Limited recognise their duty to report on how the
charitV5 activities deliver public benefit, in accordance with Charity Commission guidance.
In preparing this Annual Report, the Director5 have carefully considered the public benefit
requirements as Outlined by the Charity Commission. They are satisfied that the charity's
li

work supporting vulnerable individuals, promoting social inclusion, and advocating for
systemic change within the criminal justice system continues to deliver meaningful and
measurable benefit to the public.
The sections above outline the Trust's objectives, highlight key activities and achievements
during the year ending 31 March 2025. and set out plans for the current financial year. Apex
Charitable Trust's work delivers public benefit to ex-offenders, voluntary sector
organisations, and employers.
The Trust collaborates with partners across the sector to ensure that Statutory provisions
and regulations remain relevant and responsive to current challenges. One of the most
pressing issue5 15 the discrimination faced by ex-offenders and former prisoners in the
employment market following sentencing or release from detention.
To address this, the Trust provides specialist support services that help individuals secure
appropriate employment, training, and education. These interventions play a vital role in
rehabilitation, enabling ex-offenders to reintegrate into their communities as active citizens.
This not only reduces the risk of re-offending but also lessens reliance on public resources.
The Directors have considered this matter and concluded..
l. The Board of Tru5tee5 confirms that:
2. The aims of the organisation continue to be wholly charitable in nature.
3. The charity'5 objectives and activities deliver clear and identifiable benefits both to
the charitable sector and directly to individuals in need.
4. Collaborative work with local councils and social services enables the charity to
provide essential support to women and their families, addressing needs that rnay
otherwise go unmet.
5. The benefits delivered are accessible to Society at large, without unreasonable
re5trirtion and never based on ability to pay.
There is no evidence of detrlment or harm arising from the chariVs aims or activities.

of our work. Through initiatives such a5 Plan Bee and the Digital Hub, we have not onlv
adapted but innovated offering practical support, skills development, and a sense of
belonging to individuals facing barriers to employment and social participation.

we have strengthened Apex'5 role as a trusted partner in creating positive change.
Looking ahead, we remain focused Dn deepening our impact, building resilience. and
