# Raising For the Year Ended 31 December 2020 the bar 2 3 ## **CHAIR'S STATEMENT** We are reporting on a financial year unlike any other. The year began in January 2020, when the novel coronavirus had already begun its silent, deadly spread whilst most of the world, including CCBC’s winter holiday activity participants, were calmly oblivious. All too soon, it became apparent that aside from the toll the pandemic took on people’s lives and physical health, the mental health impact was significant and alarming. Clapton Common Boys Club trustees, staff and volunteers mobilised to ensure they were there to hold the hands of users and families throughout the crisis. We are pleased to present RAISING THE BAR, our annual report and accounts for 2020, showing the lengths we took to raise the bar for our community’s children and increase their resilience in the face of hardships. In 9- year old Benny’s words: ‘I would have lost it. I actually did lose it during lockdown; it was just so hard being surrounded only with my sisters. Then CCBC came along and helped me... and I learned to be okay, even when it was all too much.’ “I am extremely impressed at how involved your users are in the implementation of your activities. I have adopted this system in my school; the boys now lead on a number of projects. I have noticed as a result that the boys are more stimulated and mature, and they are making a difference.” In these trying times, our partners and funders have stood by our side, enabling us to respond and adapt to arising needs. We thank them for their support. J Baumgarten -Mr Waltzer, Headmaster Trustee 4 5 ## **OUR MISSION** To ameliorate the effects of deprivation of disengaged and disadvantaged children, young people and adults. We achieve our mission by providing stimulating and constructive activities. ## **OUR VISION** To ‘Empower Young People’; creating a space for children to develop into healthy and stable individuals with positive prospects. To provide bespoke activities to our target beneficiaries, supporting them to reach their ## **OUR WORK** maximum capabilities and potential. ## **OUR AMbiTiON** To empower children and young people to become partners in our programmes, so that they develop leadership skills and ensure our activities are relevant and successful. 6 ## **OUR CHARITAbLE ObJECTIVES** “I am pleased that the family is involved. One son is in the cycling club and breakfast club and the other is swimming; everyone is happy.” Mrs L., Parent To advance in life and relieve the needs of children and young people through: - The provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interests of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life; - Providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals - The promotion of any other exclusively charitable objects and purposes such as the trustees see fit, provided that they are regarded as charitable by the law of England and Wales. ## **OUR STRATEgiC AiMS** Our organisation is unique in that all of our sessions are youth-led. We have a Youth Board where children and young people have the opportunity to share feedback and suggest new activities. Our activities are based on the direct input of children and young people. 9 **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **HOME WORK CLUb** ## **ANTi bULLyiNg** We provide anti-bullying workshops to raise an awareness of bullying of children and young people, in schools and elsewhere, and to highlight ways of preventing and responding to it. **300 Children** Our Homework Club supports children with their after-school learning and reading. Being that many of our children come from large families, the time and space available for each child is limited. This space offers children the support and setting so that they can complete their homework and practice reading to consolidate the knowledge and skills they learn in school. **192 Children** 16 17 ## **MENTORINg** We support young people in mentoring younger children aged 7-11, thus improving their mentoring abilities and teamwork skills. 90 Young People mentoring 90 Children ## **SEND SUppORT** We provide therapy and professional support for children with mild to moderate SEND needs who don’t meet the EHCP threshold. Although they receive basic support from their schools, we strive to ensure their additional needs are adequately met. 77 Children 18 ## **COVID RESpONSE** RESOURCE KITS 1We supplied resource kits that contained educational puzzles, games and challengers, providing them with BARrels of fun to keep them occupied when schools were closed. hOTlinE We set up a hotline so that our 2 children could communicate with their teachers and peers during lockdown.This aided their social inclusion and provided them with information, inspiration and motivational speakers to aid their mental and emotional wellbeing. This was especially important since the vast majority of children did not have internet access at home. **----- Start of picture text -----**

pRaCTiCal SUppORT 3 280 Users During the covid lockdowns, we provided children with hot, nourishing meals, supplying over 350 meals per week. 45 Users ## EmOTiOnal SUppORT 4 paREnTS & familiES 100 parents received training, in a group setting, on how to alleviate their children’s anxiety. Each workshop was followed by a live Q & A session. 122 families received blocks of 5 therapy sessions with s qualified therapist. 30 staff/volunteers received training to identify and emotionally support vulnerable children remotely. STaff ## ChildREn 36 hours of personal and group therapy sessions (including play therapy). 72 hours individual therapy with a psychologist for children presenting with anxiety, trauma or grief. “Our children 19 have become better at sharing their thoughts. They are also more cooperative. This programme is amazing. It's working!” Mrs P., Parent Resilience Happiness Emotional regulation Depression Anxiety Isolation 20 21 **bARRINg THE IMpOSSIbLE** Out of all the siblings, Raphael has taken the loss of his mother the hardest. He misses her immensely and needs that loving, motherly figure at home. He is unreceptive to the care and support his father and older siblings offer. The lockdowns during Covid did nothing to improve the situation. Raphael’s life was not returning to normal in settings both inside and outside the home, thus causing more upheaval. Raphael’s high level of distress caused him to become aggressive, which affected his psychological and emotional wellbeing, as well as his social status. Raphael’s school referred him to CCBC’s Care & Support Team. ## **COMMITMENT TO QUALITy AND bEST pRACTiCE** With a commitment to quality and best practice, we evaluate and monitor our programmes to improve effectiveness. We follow the child protection procedures and work with the management teams of schools, to ensure safeguarding issues are dealt with accordingly. To ensure best practice, we support our youth leaders and volunteers through regular supervision, guidance and through professional assistance from senior staff members and trustees. Our Care & Support Team treated this matter very seriously. Firstly, Raphael was assessed to identify his specific issues and the support required. Next, we created a plan of support to meet his needs. We provided him with a mentor to oversee his needs and support him on an ongoing basis. We also provided Raphael with personal and group therapy, so that he can have the emotional support necessary to help him process his grief. Finally, Raphael had access to a wide range of play resources, games and challengers, to help stimulate him at home when he is away from CCBC’s support. Raphael’s journey to recovery will be a long haul, but we are confident that with our ongoing suppor Raphael will continue to make strides and successfully overcome his challenges. 22 23 ## **STRUCTURE, gOVERNANCE AND MANAgEMENT** ## Staff Recognition We value our staff and professionals and encourage their growth at the club. We regularly offer up-to-date trainings and courses to ensure they develop their personal skills. ## SafeguaRding Since our charity works with vulnerable children and families, safeguarding is considered the greatest inherent risk in our work. We have a framework of consents,controls, policies and reviews to mitigate the associated risks. The focus on training and supervision is important in the control environment. We have a dedicated compliance officer who supports safeguarding processes with a reporting system that ensures concerns are flagged and information is communicated rapidly and securely. All members of staff have up-to-date certification and training in accordance with current regulations. ## goveRning document The charity is constituted and governed by a Trust Deed dated 27 December 2006. The charity is managed and controlled by the trustees, who meet regularly. ## RecRuitment and appointment of new tRuSteeS It is not the intention of the trustees of the charity to appoint any new trustees at present. Should the situation change in the future, the trustees will apply suitable recruitment, training and induction procedures. ## RiSk management The trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Both manual and automated checks are regularly invoked, particularly those relating to the operations and finance of the charity. The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures mitigate any perceived risks. The trustees continually review the risks that the charity may be exposed to from time to time, and take appropriate action as required. ## **fINANCIAL REVIEW** ## pRincipal funding SouRceS Our activities were supported by a mixture of funding streams including private donations, grants from trusts and foundations ,and users' contributions. The result for the year are shown in the attached financial statements, and the trustees are satisfied with the results for the year. The Trustees gratefully acknowledge that the expansion of services and reach and increase in positive impact on the lives of children in the community is largely due to the substantial and generous support of the following charitable trusts and foundations, including Hackney Local Authority, Awards for All, BBC Children in Need, BIG Lottery Fund Reaching Communities, People Postcode Trust and other supporters and community donors. ## ReSeRveS policy The Trustees are working towards building free reserves of at least 3 months' operating costs in order to protect services where there are uncertainties as to whether funding will continue and to ensure adequate cash flow for the organisation's needs. As of this financial year end, we are well on track. In respect of some of the projects the incoming resources in the year exceeded the outgoing resources. As explained in the Accounting Policies in Note 1 to the Financial Statements, the grant period in certain cases runs into the next financial period, and the charity is committed to the expenditure in relation to those grants in the following period. The trustees are satisfied with the results for the year and consider that the charity is in a healthy financial position. ## futuRe planS Our aims and targets for 2021 are to continue expanding on our current services and programmes. ## public benefit The Trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 24 25 ## **INDEpENDENT ExAMiNER'S REpORT** ## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Clapton Common Boys Club I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Clapton Common Boys Club (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2020. ## ReSponSibilitieS and baSiS of RepoRt As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
