Trustees’ Report 


## TRUSTEES’ REPORT 

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **1.1 Structure, Management and Governance** 

Trustees act in a voluntary capacity.  They are selected and approved by the Board of Trustees for the respective contributions each trustee can make, in support of Solidarity Sports in meeting its objectives. 

All board members complete an induction process to ensure they are fully aware of  their  responsibilities.  They  are  encouraged  to  take  further  development training as appropriate and available. 

The  Board  meets  at  least  four  times  annually  to  discuss  and  oversee  the governance of the organisation. Meetings follow an agreed agenda including reviews of the annual budget, management accounts, business plan, reviews of operational  and  financial  performance,  staffing,  project  work,  plus  additional specific items as required. 

## **1.2 Our People** 

Solidarity Sports has a committed team that has continued to grow in the past year. Between April 2021 to March 2022, we employed 6 members of staff on a permanent basis (4 full time and 2 part time): 

- Chief  Executive  Officer,  Sean  Mendez,  is  responsible  for  running  and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. 

- Family  &  Safeguarding  Lead  manages  support  for  over  200  families, provides  clinical supervision of mentors,  and oversees family outreach work. 

- Development  Manager  oversees  the  charity’s  fundraising,  partnerships and financial operations. 

- Volunteer  and  Projects  Manager  to  manage  all  volunteers,  organises projects and supports the delivery. 

- Memory Makers Lead manages the charity’s regular giving campaign. 

- Operations Manager  supports the team with administrative duties, strategy and communications. 

Well-being coaches lead delivery across all of our projects. 98% of coaches joined us  as  volunteers  before  progressing  to  paid  staff.  32%  joined  us  as  child participants  in  our  programmes.  Between  April  2021  to  March  2022,  we employed 16 coaches on a freelance basis. 

Alongside our coaches, we have over 200 registered volunteers, mostly aged between 16-25. Volunteers are the lifeblood of the organisation; they are vital in maintaining our unique 1:2 adult-to-child ratio that sets us apart from other organisations.  The  passion  and  enthusiasm  volunteers  bring  to  our  projects contributes positive energy and an invaluable ‘fun element’. Many of our existing volunteers have grown up in the same communities as our children. Volunteers

## Trustees’ Report 

are recruited through universities, corporate partnerships, local colleges/sixth forms, and individual enquiries through social media. We attract most volunteers via word-of-mouth. 

It is mandatory for all volunteers to have an up-to-date enhanced DBS check. All volunteers  are  required  to  attend  our  specialist  in-house  Child  Safeguarding training, where they learn about attachment styles, how to spot signs of abuse, and  how  to  understand  the  broad  spectrum  of  needs  our  children  have. Volunteers are encouraged to attend advanced training where available. 

Sustaining the flow of volunteers and retaining existing volunteers is key to the future of Solidarity Sports. Restrictions imposed by Covid-19 made recruiting volunteers  more  difficult,  as  we  could  no  longer  visit  university  fairs  and corporate volunteering started up again at the beginning of 2022. Volunteer recruitment remains an area we wish to improve and will be an important area for development in 2023. 

This year, we worked with **206 volunteers** ; 9 are professional volunteers who work alongside staff on a variety of key tasks including copywriting, website management, accounting, videography, governance, and bid writing. In the past year,  this  pro-bono  work  has  saved  the  organisation  tens  of  thousands  of pounds.

## **2. Services and Impact** 

## **MISSION & OBJECTIVES** 

The  charity  nurtures  the  well-being  of  children  in  West  London  who  are recovering  from  severe  trauma.  Our  aim  is  to  deliver  happiness  through participation in healthy and stimulating activities. 

Specific objectives are to: 

- Improve  the  physical,  mental  and  emotional  well-being  of  children; particularly children living in poverty and recovering from trauma; 

- Advance  children’s  development,  education,  and  resilience  to  improve their chances for success; 

- Reduce barriers to participation in leisure activities for children who have historically been excluded; 

- Grow and honour the Hashim Family Legacy by facilitating the dreams of our children; 

- Provide holistic family support by working with carers to give children the best care and chance in life. 

## **ORGANISATIONAL BACKGROUND & BENEFICIARIES** 

Solidarity Sports was founded on the belief that every child deserves happiness. 

When we established in 2007, we focused on sports. Since then, we have added healthy  eating  initiatives,  arts  activities,  educational  group  trips,  mentorship programs, and holidays in the UK and abroad. 

The glue that binds our programmes together is a commitment to creating a safe,  open-minded,  inclusive,  and  loving  environment  where  we  can  play together and create happy memories. 

95% of our children have been referred by Social Services. Our children are affected by abuse, neglect, abandonment, displacement, and bereavement. The majority have experienced chronic trauma,  which affects their cognitive and social development. We also  care  for  children who have Special  Educational Needs, including those with Autism. An increasing number of our children are overweight or obese, which has a profound effect on their physical and mental wellbeing. 

Almost all our families live in social housing (over 96%) -the quality of which is often so poor that our children’s health and development is adversely affected. 

85% of our children speak English as an additional language and 86% are from minority ethnic backgrounds. 

45% of our children live in London’s richest borough, Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC). Termed the ‘most unequal borough in Britain’, there are 3 wards in the 




Year ended 31 March 2022 

## Trustees’ Report 

‘least deprived’ and 3 in the ‘most deprived’. Golborne ward is the most deprived ward  across  the  Office  for  National  Statistics  (ONS)  deprivation  scores.  To highlight the inequality, there is a 22-year difference in life expectancy between the richest and poorest ward. 

In 2021, we were commissioned by RBKC to mobilise an urgent effort to provide suitable  activities  for  over  111  children  who  had  recently  Afghanistan.  This, alongside,  a  continual  stream  of  referrals  has  increased  our  engagement numbers by 120% from the previous year.

## **PROGRAMMES April 2021 – March 2022** 

From Easter 2021, we expanded our reach to deliver trips simultaneously across three locations in West London: Shepherds Bush, Notting Hill and Earls Court. Trips aim to improve the wellbeing of our children through enriching activities, sports, new skills, and play.

Year ended 31 March 2022 Trustees’ Report 


## **Summer 2021** 

For 3 weeks we were based at Westway Sports Centre in North Kensington, where an average of 65 children joined us each day. Whilst here, our children benefited from 3 hours of physical activity a day, hot and healthy lunches, sports coaching and arts and crafts sessions. 

We were thrilled to return to PGL Adventure Centre, on the Isle of Wight after 2 years of paused trips during the pandemic. We took 30 children  on  a  memorable  5- day holiday, where they got to try abseiling, kayaking, trapeze jumping. 

In addition to new experiences, time with friends  and  being  immersed in a completely different environment,  children  learnt hugely important skills, like brushing their teeth, washing and getting up on time each morning. Most evenings, all the children and volunteers would walk 20 minutes down to the beach to watch the sunset, play games and dip their toes into the sea. It was beautiful to witness children with very complex home lives have this vital respite time, where they could relax and simply be children for 5 days. 

“My favourite moment of summer was on the big swing at PGL. It was scary at first, it goes so high! I remember almost touching the clouds. I wish I could go back one day.” – girl, age 9 

## **Tackling isolation and promoting togetherness** 

In the last financial year, our services have been crucial to support children and their families who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. The knock-on  effect  from  lockdowns,  extended  time  in  cramped  conditions  and missing out on learning due to an inability to access online schooling has been at detriment to their social development. We have witnessed children finding it hard 




Year ended 31 March 2022 

Trustees’ Report 

to  make  friends,  express  themselves  and  more  children  displaying  anxious behaviour. 

Our aim for our programmes has been to lift these barriers and address the isolation felt by our children and their families. 

In 2021, we introduced weekend family outings to encourage positive family bonding and reduce isolation. Trips were organised weekly on a Saturday, across 


London, by our Family and Safeguarding Lead. The  forced  closeness  for  these families,  often  living  in  overcrowded conditions and refuges, brought stress on the family dynamics. Both our children and carers benefited of a safe and loving environment to re-establish healthy  family  interactions  and  have respite from tense and sometimes unsafe, home lives. 

Our mentoring programme has also been key in tackling the loneliness felt by  children,  who  were  isolated  during the pandemic. Between 2021-2022, 20 children were matched with mentors for a minimum of 6 months. Mentors planned  activities  and  trips  with  their mentee once a week, in the community. We truly believe in this transformational programme, which has resulted in the de-escalation of children on child 

protection and child-in-need plans with Social Services. 

We have maintained an excellent partnership with Dad’s House food bank, who we continue to refer vulnerable families to, so they can access regular fresh food. As well as tackling food insecurity, when we refer families to Dad’s House, they have access to expert solicitors in a weekly pro-bono legal clinic, which has supported families going through domestic violence cases and complex family law. 

In 2021, we partnered with Dad’s House to put on a weekly refugee cooking night at the food bank for Afghan women in the local hotels. We leaned on our volunteer network for translation help and within a couple of weeks, the food bank on Lillie Road was bustling with women preparing and cooking food for their families  and  friends  back  in  the  hotel.  Each  week,  we  would  source  the ingredients and learn more about these incredible women. 

## ORGANISATIONAL GROWTH 

## **New Office** 

In December 2021, we moved into our new home – Seven Stars on North End Road – a huge 3,000 square ft space in the heart of our community. 




Year ended 31 March 2022 

Trustees’ Report 

Just 18 months after securing our office on Lillie Road, we were thrilled to be offered a larger space by our partners, Earls Court Development Company, for a lease of 5 years, in-kind. 

This change is a massive step for Solidarity Sports – we now have the space to facilitate more support than ever, with dedicated areas for meetings, activities, and office work. 

## _**Fundraising**_ 

Solidarity Sports endeavours to grow income from trusts and foundations. We also invest our efforts in individual giving campaigns to garner long-term support from donors. Whilst still addressing the impact the pandemic had on our families, the fundraising landscape has also suffered as a result. 

The charity saw a 21% decline in income, compared to the previous year. This was anticipated due to the spike we saw between 2020-2021, because of a generous increase in individual giving and stricter financial controls. 

Unfortunately,  we  had  to  cancel  another  relaunch  for _Memory  Makers_ in December 2021, due to growing Covid-19 cases. However, as of 2022, we are looking forward to the opportunities to grow our _Memory Makers_ campaign – now with more support from corporate partners thanks to time spent investing in this area. 

Individual giving has continued to grow, thanks to participation in Champions for Children (match-funding) campaign and increasing brand awareness on social media. 

Finally, our corporate partnerships have gone from strength to strength, particularly with Sky UK and BNP Paribas. In addition to financial donations, we have been able to organise competitions for children, family hampers, vouchers for books and digital devices for children in need. 

The trustees and staff would like to express their gratitude and thanks to the following trusts and foundations for their very generous support and kindness shown in the past year. 

Calleva Foundation, Lightbulb Trust, Let Me Play, RBKC, Brian Murtagh, Children in Need, Childhood Trust, Daisy Trust, Jack Petchy, London Community Fund, H&F Giving, Octavia, K&C Foundation, Young K&C, The Mercers’ Company, Earls Court Development Company, and the Hollick Foundation.

Income from Restricted sources is expended in the year to which it relates. Any surplus remaining at the end of the year is carried forward to the next financial year, while any deficit is met from Unrestricted sources. 

In the year ended 31 March 2022 Restricted expenditure exceeded income for those purposes by £14,305 and this amount was met from Unrestricted Funds. 

During the course of the year ended 31 March 2021, the Trustees decided to increase the level of reserves to 12 months, given the challenges presented by Covid-19.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Unrestricted grants and other income are accounted for in the year in which they are receivable. Restricted grants and other income are accounted for in the year in which the projects are expected to take place. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. The charity is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure is shown gross of irrecoverable VAT. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Restricted and unrestricted projects** 

The charity organises its work between a number of projects. Certain projects are supported in whole, or major part, by specific donations or grants, and these are designated as being restricted projects. These 

restricted funds can only be used for those particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Other projects are undertaken as part of the general work of the charity, and are regarded as being unrestricted projects. The unrestricted funds allocated to those projects can be used at the discretion of the trustees. Staff may work both on restricted and unrestricted projects, and their employment costs have been analysed based on time spent. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the  Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
