## **Chair’s Report** 

Mr.Jama welcomed the participants of the meeting and conveyed how good it is seeing everyone in person and checking how everyone was keeping in these testing times with the pandemic almost behind us but now the cost of living crisis, then stating that the there was a quorum for the meeting and declared that the meeting was open for business. 

The chairman informed the gathering that the organisation was developing and improving its prospects of attracting funding and this year has been a rewarding one for the charity. 

Horn Stars have been re branding itself for some time now and this has improved the public image of the organisation. During the rebranding a name change has been suggested and designs of a new logo has been commissioned as the organisation has to evolve with the changing times and climates. The name Connect Stars has been approved and will be implemented as the operating name. 

I would like to thank for all of those of you that have taken their time to come and be with us here tonight and also Horn stars volunteers and staff in whom without their support we wouldn’t be here.

## **Treasurer’s Report** 

## **Introduction** 

The 2022/23 financial year has improved drastically from last financial year and this was due to the core funding we have received. 

The report from the treasurer should be read in conjunction with the Accounts and Trustees Report for the year ending 31[st] March 2023. 

## **Finance** 

The treasurer is satisfied with the Financial Statements that accompany this report. The following are some of the highlights: 

## **Balance Sheet** 

The balance sheet is quite healthy. 

The general reserve was £32,241 for the year ending 31[st] March 2023. That figure has been an improvement from last year and our auditor’s advice that we should have a cash reserve equal to about three months operating expenditure has been difficult to achieve since our income has increased. Horn Stars is now aiming at to sustain the general reserve to that recommended level, though it is known to be a difficult task. 

Unless we make our provision for community advice and guidance funded projects Horn Stars will continue to stress its resources and burden its operating costs. 

## **Income** 

The total income for the year is **£328,754** which came from our grant givers and donors. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure was in line with budgets of the projects under implementation which was relatively good this year as its slightly dropped from last financial year due to some projects coming to an end. Most of the expenditure was focuses on projects to be implemented and the core costs of the charity in relationship to its growing activities.  The activities included 

4 



After schools activities, youth engagements, career focused initiatives in additional further funding were secured for leadership projects. 

Expense included operating costs, salaries, rent and utilities, adverts and promotion, volunteer expenses, sundries and repairs, and others such as printing, postage and stationery. 

## **Cash flow** 

As the funding increased, we had less problems with incoming cash follow and this has decreased the tensions we faced the previous years the difficulties with cash flow is getting better, but we had to maintain a rigorous expenditure in par to available in-hand funds. 

## **Financial Issues** 

It’s been a good financial year and no long-term financial issue that face the organisation: 

Fawzi Muse Mohammed The treasurer

## **YOUTH DEVELOPMENT** 

## **Youth engagement and after school projects** 

The Hyde funded youth enterprise has worked really well with engaging with 80 young people engaged and 10 of them looking for work or apprenticeships. 

The after school projects is progressing well with over 200 young people engaged the referrals to the Saturday football is mainly from schools and self-referrals, schools include Ark on Fridays where we conduct an afterschool football programme and Safer together through sport programme which involved, Stonebridge, Mitchell Brook and Brentfield primary schools. 

The programme has worked well and at times was difficult to get it off the ground due to different timetables of the schools and parents having different schedules for the young people after schools, but the young people really enjoyed the programme and worked hard during the sessions. 

Holiday programmes involved youth clubs, football tournaments and partnership with local groups to deliver a holistic youth programme that consists of 400 young people annually engaging in youth clubs, sports festivals such as the NFL flag and the holiday football festivals. 

The CALM Leadership programme has continued to work really well enabling 20 young people to gain valuable volunteering experiences, do workshops, execute a social action by facilitating the summer sports festival and supporting the local foodbank Sufra. 

The DIVA project involved 40 girls in training, capacity building, residential and social action programme aged 14-17, from Black, Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds in the London Borough of Brent. The programme will built confidence, motivation and inspired the young girls to push beyond their comfort zones and supported the girls to be the best version of themselves.

## **Outcomes** 

- 40 BAME girls from the Wembley and Harlesden neighbourhoods engage and completed the DIVA project 

• 70% of participants report having increased confidence and continue to make informed decisions 

- 65% of participants received a non- accredited Developing Skills for Employment certificate 

- 85% of the participants have a greater understanding and knowledge of accessing careers 

- 75% of the participants will join a local project or attend local projects as an exit strategy 

- Improved employability skills and job prospects - 30% progressing to interviews with 20% in employment 

• 85% of participants understand the advantages of living a healthier and more active lifestyle by continuing playing sport after completion of the Starlet programme. 

Providing outreach and detached work for those at risk or involved in gang activity in Stonebridge, Church Road and Chalkhill. 

Extensive outreach/detached work to engage the young people in the corners, alley ways and benches during the warmer months and in some blocks in those 3 estates during the winter months. This initiative would enable young adults from 18–30-year-olds to have a conversation with our team and where possible would be supported by our employment and enterprise into finding work and or substance misuse services like Addaction. This project has highlighted so much inequalities since it’s inception during the lockdown and at teams we work with local statuary service providers to provide direct services to the young adults we see weekly.

## **Community Advice & Guidance** 

. 

The advice sessions took place in the Hub in Stonebridge and it has became more of a digital training the residents on how to use the online tools through Hyde website to report defaults, change of circumstances and reporting antisocial behaviours, following on from last year where this service was mainly done remotely and was very challenging to conduct. 

Also most local authorities use a my account feature in their websites. This service has now been well used and most families we support are well versed on the digital training and more advocacy is provided. 

We increased the number of volunteers who assist with the Monday and Wednesday Surgeries, with more professionals given up their time as and when they can. 

We have worked and have referred some challenging cases to the Brent Hub support services mainly the ones situated in Harlesden Library, Willesden Library and Kilburn. 

The bulk of the advice session fall upon these areas:: 

- Utilities (gas, electricity, water and telephones) 

- Child Tax Credits 

- Child Benefit 

- State Benefits including – Housing, Council Tax, Income support, Job Seeker Allowance, Employment & Support Allowance and Pension credits) 

- Support with employment applications 

- Universal credit 

- Cost of Living crisis 

- Food and energy poverty 

The advice sessions take place on Mondays and Wednesdays and one doesn’t need an appointment on these two days but if it’s an urgent case that can’t wait these two days he or she has to book an appointment either on Wednesday or Thursday in order to be seen.  The two advice sessions are mainly conducted by two officers on both days and most of the cases seem to be originating the lack of communication between the service provider and the person accessing it. 

Wednesdays is the digital training day. 

This year more than 70 people have accessed this service with many of them attending more than once. 

We also started last year a womens only exercise classes on a Friday to support the single mothers that access the advice sessions and we’ve added a Monday to these sessions in which we get 17 women on a weekly basis.

considerntion of any unusual itetns or disclosures in the a￿Ounts. and seeking ¢xplanations
from you as tnJst¢¢s concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all th¢ evidence that would be Tequired in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to
