Objectives and Activities The object of the charity is the furthering of Christian Educational work in and around the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (including the Richmond Borough) particularly in primary and secondary schools. When planning the Trust, s activities for the year, the trustces, committee members and workers have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular. the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. The public benefit requirement has been complied with by the provision, free of charge to schools and other educational bodies who utilise our services, of both our staff who hold qualified teaching status and the resources and volunteer support which accompany our activities and services. The charity employs the equivalent of three full time and two part-time staff to visit local schools. There is also administrative and school support given by volunteers. The ckwity is atyiliated to the national Scripture Union organisation. Staffing and Committee Roderick Braine continued as Acting Treasurer, with Peter Wilkins as Hon. Treasurer and remaining a trustee. Insight staffing levels fluctuated during this period: Tim Neale returned as a secondary worker to Snsight in September 2023, after a break of eight years. Claire Sims went on maternity leave in January 2024. There were no other changes to the staff team. Achievements and Perforniance The main objective for the reporting period was to continue returning to the remaining schools which had not reopened their doors following the Covid lockdowns. In the primary sector, this process was helped by the reputation Insight gained for supporting the schools in lockdown with online resources such as storytelling, Collective Worship, and interactive events. Regaining access to the secondary schools has proved a harder challenge but, with the recruitment of Tim Neale, these schools are increasingly seeking Insight's support. Office Insight continued to be located at The Berrylands Christian Centre, Surbiton. Finances As the Trust, s gross income for the year is less than £250,000, the accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis. The Trust finished the year with a reported balance carried forward tor the year of £189,594, £22,565 in the General Fund, £12,029 in the Restricted Fund set up for the Richmond work The Designated Fund to be used for future projects remains unchanged at £155,000.

Net income for the General Fund was a deficit of £21,978 compared to a deficit of £26,568 last year.
