REVIEW OF PAST ACTIVITIES

The year ended 2021 was the most challenging year to date for the organisation.. Hall hire income was decimated. Karibu is reliant on the hall hire to meets its core cost,. With the Pandemic all.similar businesses were closed and we had to refund our clients all the monies paiid to us. We applied for whatever grants were available and took out a bounced back loan

SUMMER PROGRAMME

The decision to offer a socially distanced Summer programme was a brave one and one that was an effective response to the needs of the young people. Karibu Education Centre have always priotitised Children in receipt of free school meals, Children whose parents have no recourse to public funds, children in Kniship arrangements, young carers and this year children of key workers. The children relished the opportunity to socialise, all be it with masks on,.They enjoyed the trips that were within London. We managed to go to Greenwich by Uber boat from Vauxhall. We had the first group booking since the lockdown at the Maritime Museum. Museum. The food was the usal hit, and they never fiorgot to demand their fresh fruits with each meal.

PARTNERSHIPS

Brixton BMX club hosted us for a season and the young people enjoyed being trained by professionals who were training young people for the Olympics. The young people enjoyed a trip to Myatts Fields with its Water park, this was as close as we were able to get to the beach this summer.

We negotiated the use of Max Roach Park, the Street Drinkers had to find an alternative and we had to sweep up the broken glass too make it safe for the young people to play.

TRUSTEES' REPORT

EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION

We decided to recruit qualified and experienced teachers to deliver English, Maths and Science to the children who have suffered a deficit in their learning and this needed to be addressed. The children enjoyed their studies and left the programme going back to schoool more confident in themselves and their abilities.

GO KARTING

The young people chose Go Karting as their end of year Treat. It was competitive and beyond the reach of most families for a birthday treat so they were all excited and id their best to win.

PRESENTATION TO THE FAMILIES

The young people worked on a presentation for thier families in the form of a Dance and a Afternoon Tea..

FINDINGS FROM THE SUMMER PROGRAMME

A review of the Summer Programme showed that families lacked the technology for effective home learning, having to share one device among four. We will try in future to source additional kits. With the No Bikes at home, some children did not own own a bike, so we purchased 4 new bikes and 4 preloved bikes. We presented some children with watches as they were using their phones to tell the time.

.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Survival post Cov-d-19

As we gradually come out of the Covid-19 pandemic, the trustees are discussing plans to bring the centre's actitivies into its normal level.

In the coming year, Karibu would be launching the Kinship Carers support group. This will support families and close friends who are

caring for children when for a variety of reasons, their natural parents are unable to care for them

RESERVE POLICY

Karibu Education Centre aims to achieve a balance of reserve equa to 6 month's operating cost. the unrestricted reserves after adjusting for the fixed assets is less than that. However the trustees consider that the current level is adequate in the
