TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited Financial Statements (independently examined by Swaleside Accountancy Ltd, Chartered Accountants) of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021

Mission

We support and empower deprived communities through persevering loving care. Superkidz helps to maximise the potential and well-being of children, young people and families in the most deprived areas of the London Borough of Greenwich, restoring their innate human resilience and resourcefulness which enables them to become agents of change and to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty in their own communities.

Objectives

When planning our activities for the year, the trustees consider the most deprived estates in the locality and the range of children, young people and families from backgrounds of multiple disadvantage and seek to empower them and involve them in providing a broad range of individual and community social education activities and programmes aimed at maximising potential and positive outcomes, supporting vulnerable carers in good parenting, encouraging positive attitudes and fostering self-esteem in children and young people, preventing them from engaging in crime, drug use and negative lifestyles, and intervening with those who are already entangled in the latter.

Aim

Superkidz’ primary aim is to work in and with deprived communities to disrupt cycles of low educational attainment, family dysfunction, violence, criminality, psychological damage, and poverty. We do this by a combination of crisis prevention and intervention in the lives of children and young people and by working with carers. Our methods are informed by psychological and sociological expertise. We support members of those communities to see their gifts and use them to bring about transformation in their own neighbourhoods and beyond. The exchange of expertise is mutual: we train and empower local carers and young adults in various skills, employ them as workers and receive training from them in the best ways of running activities and growing their communities’ strengths, and in how to help the most vulnerable children, young people and carers. These include those previously recruited into crime, drug dealing and county lines, former drug addicts and victims of domestic abuse and violence. For example, one of our youth mentors is a local ex-young offender with whom we worked for 12 years, including visiting consistently in prison. He is a qualified fitness instructor and provides training and mentoring to young people involved with drug gangs or at risk of engaging in criminal activity from their own perspective, and has enabled other young offenders to turn a corner and become youth support workers.

SUPERKIDZ COMMUNITY TRUST

Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2021 Profile

Superkidz is a Christian foundation serving and employing people from deprived communities of any faith or none based in the London Borough of Greenwich. Our workforce has lived experience and first-hand knowledge of the issues on deprived estates. For example a number have overcome severe Adverse Childhood Experiences, drug gang membership, debt, domestic violence and drug addiction.

We have a core value of persevering loving care and unconditional positive regard, proven as a means to overcoming psychological scars and side effects like low self-esteem, learned helplessness and anxiety and depression. Young people who have experienced cruelty and neglect tend to view the world through a distorting lens that sees people as hostile and themselves in a distorting mirror that makes them feel worthless, useless and without hope. Our approach is proven to change both of these perceptions.

We specialise in work with young offenders, those who struggle with drugs and young people who have been victims of Adverse Childhood Experiences and who are vulnerable to being victims of recruitment into drug gangs or are already trapped in drug delivery work. We also address sexual responsibility with them. Vulnerable girls are an important focus. Helping them is also a way of preventing them from becoming victims of sexual exploitation, unplanned pregnancy and toxic relationships that sadly affect the next generation. Sadly, we are also having to address a significant rise in young people between the ages of 16 and 25 experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.

Led by members of our local deprived communities, we have developed a management model that enables disadvantaged adults and young people to see their own potential, and become paid leaders and workers who shape Superkidz as an organisation, and who transform their own communities from within. We have used our training and experience to develop a model that enables us to work with the most damaged children and young people and to train other organisations in our methods. This model tackles low selfesteem, aspirational deficits and psychological issues that lead to low performance at school and relational and behavioural problems. Our mentoring promotes long term engagement with education, training and employment. It teaches children and young people to relate successfully within wider society. The model works for both crisis prevention and intervention and is enabling those we work with to act as positive role models within their community.

The Need

Poverty

Greenwich is the 50th most deprived Local Authority in England (ranked out of 326 authorities) placing the borough district in the top 20% most deprived authorities. There are 151 LSOAs within Greenwich. There are 3 that fall within the 10% most deprived neighbourhoods and 38 in the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England. In terms of deprivation for children, the Indices of Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) shows there are 18 areas that are in the 10% most deprived areas and 52 that are in the 20% most deprived areas in England. (Royal Borough of Greenwich 2020). In London 53% of single parent households are living in poverty (after housing costs). On average 71% of Superkidz beneficiaries come from single parent households. Out of 32 London boroughs Greenwich ranks 3[rd] for home repossessions. ( London’s Poverty Profile. Trust for London 2022).

Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2021

Education

Students in Greenwich have one of the worst GCSE attainments in London, with 70.8% of students in the borough achieving grades 9-4 (equivalent to A*-C under the old system) in English and Maths at GCSE compared to 75.6% across the whole of the capital. Greenwich also has the highest proportion of 19-year-olds without level 3 qualifications at 38.7%, compared with the average of only 24.4% across boroughs. (Trust for London 2022)

Mortality

Greenwich has some of the highest infant mortality and premature mortality rates in all of London. 376 deaths in people below 75 years of age were recorded per 100,000 population; infant mortality rate, at 4.5 per 1,000 births, is the second highest in all of London, where the average is 3.4 deaths per 1,000 births. (Trust for London 2022)

Illegal Drugs

More than half a million doses of pure cocaine are consumed in London on average each day. Research by King’s College London found that the average daily amount of pure cocaine being consumed in London was 23kg - more than Europe's next three biggest cocaineconsuming cities combined; Barcelona (12.74kg), Amsterdam (4.62kg) and Berlin (4.62kg). (Kings College London). It means London's annual pure cocaine use now equates to more than eight tonnes which has an estimated street value of more than £1bn. (King’s College 2019)

Our experience is that the long-term effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) often leads to self-medication for anxiety and depression through illegal drugs, typically cannabis for anxiety and cocaine for depression. For carers, the cost of these further reduces available family income. The demand leads to a lucrative drugs economy where dealers recruit local boys as young as 12 to deliver drugs and their poverty makes them additionally vulnerable to being recruited. Our young offender group primarily targets these boys, who are also users.

Under 18 Pregnancy

Greenwich Council’s 2020 report on teen pregnancy says that for many teenagers bringing up a child is extremely difficult and often results in poor outcomes for both the teenage parent and the child, in terms of the baby’s health, the mother’s emotional health and wellbeing and the likelihood of both the parent and child living in long-term poverty. Teenage mothers are less likely to finish their education, are more likely to bring up their child alone and have a higher risk of poor mental health than older mothers. The children of teenage mothers have an increased risk of living in poverty and poor-quality housing and are more likely to have accidents and behavioural problems.

Infant mortality rates for babies born to teenage mothers are around 60% higher than for babies born to older mothers.

Risk factors for becoming a teenage parent include:

• poverty

• being a child in care

• children of teenage mothers

• low educational attainment

• truanting or exclusion from school

• 16-17 year olds not being in education, employment or training

• being a victim of sexual abuse

• mental health problems and involvement in crime.

SUPERKIDZ COMMUNITY TRUST

Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2021

The latest statistics indicate that under 18 pregnancies in the Borough currently vary year on year between 19 to 25 pregnancies per 1000. Superkidz has a group targeting vulnerable girls and helps carers who have been through the experience of teen pregnancy. We estimate that 74% of the children we served in 2021 were originally born to teenage mothers.

Domestic Violence

In 2021 out of 21 Superkidz Local Workers and Leaders 14 were domestic violence survivors, (Superkidz providing them with a sheltered introduction to employment). Greenwich Domestic Violence and Abuse Services reports that the number of domestic abuse crimes recorded by the police in England and Wales in the year ending March 2021 increased by 6%; from 798,607 in the year ending March 2020 to 845,734. In the year ending March 2021, the number of people supported by the National Domestic Abuse Helpline, run by the charity Refuge, in England increased by 22% to 49,756 compared with 40,859 in the year ending March 2020. The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) found that an estimated 2.3 million adults aged 16 to 74 years experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2020 representing a prevalence rate of approximately 5 in 100 adults.

Of domestic abuse cases 73.1% were against women and 26.9% were against men. (Office for National Statistics, November 2021) (Greenwich Domestic Violence and Abuse Services)

Teenage Violence

Most Serious Violence (MSV) rates in London have the highest numbers of both perpetrators and victims among males in the age range 15-19, a group targeted by our work with young offenders. (Understanding Serious Youth Violence in London GLA 2021)

Activities & Achievements

In 2021 our total beneficiary reach, reduced by the pandemic, still amounted to a total of 424 deprived beneficiaries face to face (359 children and young people and 65 carers) and 1105 online. 28 children under 4 years old were reached through our Stay n Play group, as well as 15 parents and carers. Our Children’s and Carers Support Groups engaged with 79 children and 50 carers face-to-face. Online Children’s and Carer provision achieved 1044 online views. We reached 142 young people and also created an online programme tackling issues like drug abuse, drug dealing and knife crime. See below for further information in relation to beneficiaries reached at each support session.

In the course of 2021 the activities that were suspended or online during 2020 were gradually resumed face-to -face under Covid precautions: social distancing, mask-wearing and covid cleaning of all furniture, walls and floors before and after each session. The last activity to be reinstated was the mothers’ and toddlers’ group Stay n Play in Autumn 2021 because of the problem of shared toddlers’ toys and the difficulty of maintaining social distance between toddlers. We followed National Youth Association rules which severely limited our numbers – 15 including workers at their most restricted. Online presentations continued reaching several hundred.

During 2021 we engaged with children, young people and their families every day of the week. Our main point of engagement was through our weekly support groups:

• one Stay n Play group for parents and toddlers

• two children’s and carer support groups

• six youth support groups.

Our Thursday youth support group was first introduced to continue to meet demand for support when Covid restrictions limited attendee numbers at each group. We continued to run this group having seen just how vital this additional support is for our young people as

we emerged from the pandemic. The weekly programme is outlined below.

Monday Sisters of Success (formerly Girl Power): Middle Park estate, SE9 5JH (term time) This is a group run by Local Community Leader CT (who achieved a Diploma in Youth Work in 2020) since May 2021 when Alice Baird left for a post in a school. CT is a domestic violence survivor from one of the Council estates we serve. She is the mother of 10 children, 4 with special needs, who plays a vital role > . . as a Superkidz leader. She is an accomplished artist and an és eo = ee meAy : expert in crafts and has brought these gifts as well as her hard) / won experience to the SOS group. The name change – Sisters of Success- was her idea. This group of teenage girls desperately need increased self-esteem, aspirations, independent thinking and mutual support. CT has instigated personal achievements books Pd <* + Ve, for each girl with entries made by other girls affirming one py another’s qualities and successes. This group aims to reinforce . RE girls’ self-esteem, build local support networks and combat sexual exploitation by local gang members and others. Art and craft on 3 a focused themes also enhances self-esteem and mutual support (see right).

The group continued to benefit from the mutual affirmation diaries (first initiated by CT) to raise each other’s self-esteem were a new strategy initiated by these workers. This is vital in helping girls avoid being part of the next generation of under-age mothers whose children in some cases will be subject to neglect or abuse and scenarios where serial stepfathers may in some cases be violent. Such children tend to form the next generation of young offenders, at risk girls, and addicts.

Instagram & Facebook

We used Facebook to reach carers and children with fun-based messages based on our “power phrases” (see above).

We used Instagram to reach young people with important messages, for example anti-knife and anti-drugs presentations.

- Mentoring Successes Examples

CE was a youth scarred by domestic violence throughout his early childhood, diagnosed with several special needs including autism and ADHD, and whose behaviour as a youth was violent, erratic and unpredictable, such that our partners XLP would not allow him to attend their activities. He was also being mentioned in police meetings. Superkidz group-mentored him and 4 others weekly and established a good relationship. Superkidz also bought gardening and building equipment and lent them to him to set him up in self-employment. He became a busy and hard-working self-employed landscaper and gardener, producing high quality patios and advertising online for business. He was able to support his new family, which included his partner’s children from a previous relationship.

SG and BL were also part of this troubled group. With our support S obtained work on building sites in central London and in steady employment. B is a father and working in retail, holding down a steady job. He previously had a joyriding conviction and was mentioned in police meetings.

DC is the daughter of class A addicts who was a Junior Helper and then Local Community Worker (LCW) with Superkidz for many years. She was established successfully in the Care Work sector with Superkidz providing references.

ZC is a 16-year-old girl who has had multiple problems at school and home and was helped in applying for childcare apprenticeships.

S is a person born male and in the process of changing gender identity. She was supported through discriminatory behaviour at college and received regular mentoring

EM is a teenage girl suffering from stress through anxiety about other people’s problems. She is highly intelligent and has aspirations to be a doctor. Her over empathising led to disruption to her concentration but she steadily improved through mentoring.

FN is a teenage girl with autism who has anger management problems. She was supported through a long wait for autism diagnosis.

- Crisis Management Examples

T, a victim of DV who was moved well out of area. We liaised with her MARAC worker to ensure she has local, ongoing support.

We offered support to a pregnant 17-year-old who is a Looked After Child. We helped her to know her rights and what social services involvement would take place with her pregnancy.

We mentored a drug user who is considering taking up a place at in-patient rehab.

Research & Development

Outcome Harvesting

Outcome harvesting is a process developed in foreign aid work by Sam Moody, one of our trustees. It inputs into our strategic planning and involves a process of reviewing all positive results of our work and describing them on a database. In 2021 this resulted in two major strategic decisions:

a. carers from the deprived communities we serve becoming managers and leaders in Superkidz and shaping our delivery to their own communities.

b. greater engagement with, and support of carers who bring children, including in informal parenting support.

Knife Crime & Violence

We continue to develop our understanding in how to tackle this problem which affects so many in this area. Our informal interviews with gang members and drug dealers to date, along with academic psychological data, show that Adverse Childhood Experiences (for example infant physical victimisation by a stepfather) lead to a mindset that generalises others as hostile and potentially threatening and also creates painfully low self-esteem play an important part in violent reactions. The fears that arise from the context of gang violence also play a key role. These factors are detailed in our youth work manual TGIM.

Drugs We are continuing our work in this area by looking at brain reward systems and how to reduce the need for drugs. The use of mutually supportive group dynamics and positive youth worker interactions based on Unconditional Positive Regard for producing oxytocin and games and exercise for dopamine and natural endorphins is helping our at risk youth group.

Gangs

We continued to develop our understanding of the gang as a type of social group, and how to create a sense of belonging at youth support groups which helps to prevent gang membership. Brain chemicals producing a sense of well-being from status and belonging can be fuelled by gangs. We run our youth support groups and youth mentoring in a way that provides status/self-esteem to young people and a feeling of belonging that emulates what gangs offer without the criminality, violence and dangers to young people.

- Partnerships and Co operation

Members

Our members are also partners, and representatives of parents, young people and children who come to our support groups meet with Board members each term to feedback and propose changes.

Royal Borough of Greenwich

We have a partnership with the Council through its youth work provider, Charlton Athletic Community Trust.

Churches

In 2021 we had partnerships with Church Army, Eltham Green Community Church and St. Saviour’s Churches, and with Church Army, a national and international Anglican Church organisation. We are supported by many other churches through financial giving and gifts of Christmas presents for children and Easter eggs.

Greenwich Council

We delivered part of the Borough’s Healthy Activity and Food (HAF) project over the Summer of 2021. We provided healthy food and exercise along with training for carers and young people in healthy recipes.

Metropolitan Police & MI6

Intelligence was passed to both these organisations about organised crime and radicalised young people joining a terrorist group.

XLP Partnership

We have a mature partnership with the London-wide charity XLP. We helped XLP provide detached work during lockdown when their double decker bus was considered not covid secure.

Local Schools and Colleges

We worked closely with 3 local primary schools.

Food Bank Superkidz is part of the Greenwich Food Bank voucher distribution system.

SUPERKIDZ COMMUNITY TRUST

Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2021 Replicable Youth Work Model

We have used our professional and academic training in psychology and sociology combined with practical personal experience to develop a manual and replicable model. This guides children’s, youth and family work across several estates. The team has also provided training in this model for other organisations. Crucially, the model enables those whom we help to contribute to their own communities and act as strong, positive role models within them. Our theory of change is based on the following triangle, and is set out in our Transform Group and Individual Mentoring (TGIM) manual.

Negative Internal Working Model

----- Start of picture text -----
At Risk
Young Person
----- End of picture text -----

Negative Personal Constructs Negative Group/Gang Norms

The Internal Working Model is a framework of generalised beliefs and emotional responses shaped by experiences in early years. Children who have been the victims of physical or mental neglect or abuse at the hands of their carers often see all adults as uncaring or hostile, and react accordingly with aggression or withdrawal. Persevering care over a significant period, usually in the face of abuse, changes this.

Personal Construct Psychology focuses on hidden unconscious assumptions on which conclusions are based, which in turn guide decisions – such as, “I failed at school, therefore I am stupid – therefore drug dealing and crime are my only option”. The role of youth workers is to identify the underlying assumptions and conclusions, and help young people look at them critically and replace them where they are negative and destructive.

Social norms are among the most powerful forces influencing behaviour. Laws are often powerless by comparison. For example, there was group approval among many MPs to misuse expense claims, flouting the law and their own rules. They were not “criminal types”, but ordinary people. Communities and particularly the micro-communities of gangs, have their own norms on which group approval or rejection is based. The role of youth workers is to help young people to think for themselves, with reference to other values.

Training

We carried out routine training in

• a. Safeguarding x3 sessions

• b. Working with children who have special needs

• c. Working with anxiety sufferers

Chairman

The board members are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom generally accepted accounting practice.

Charity law requires the board members to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the church and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the board members are required to:

• Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

• Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the activities of the charity will continue.

The board members are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Superkidz Community Trust

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Superkidz Community Trust

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 13.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission

• under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

• to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting

• requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities SORP (FRS102)

have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited Financial Statements (independently examined by Swaleside Accountancy Ltd, Chartered Accountants) of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021

Mission

We support and empower deprived communities through persevering loving care. Superkidz helps to maximise the potential and well-being of children, young people and families in the most deprived areas of the London Borough of Greenwich, restoring their innate human resilience and resourcefulness which enables them to become agents of change and to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty in their own communities.

Objectives

When planning our activities for the year, the trustees consider the most deprived estates in the locality and the range of children, young people and families from backgrounds of multiple disadvantage and seek to empower them and involve them in providing a broad range of individual and community social education activities and programmes aimed at maximising potential and positive outcomes, supporting vulnerable carers in good parenting, encouraging positive attitudes and fostering self-esteem in children and young people, preventing them from engaging in crime, drug use and negative lifestyles, and intervening with those who are already entangled in the latter.

Aim

Superkidz’ primary aim is to work in and with deprived communities to disrupt cycles of low educational attainment, family dysfunction, violence, criminality, psychological damage, and poverty. We do this by a combination of crisis prevention and intervention in the lives of children and young people and by working with carers. Our methods are informed by psychological and sociological expertise. We support members of those communities to see their gifts and use them to bring about transformation in their own neighbourhoods and beyond. The exchange of expertise is mutual: we train and empower local carers and young adults in various skills, employ them as workers and receive training from them in the best ways of running activities and growing their communities’ strengths, and in how to help the most vulnerable children, young people and carers. These include those previously recruited into crime, drug dealing and county lines, former drug addicts and victims of domestic abuse and violence. For example, one of our youth mentors is a local ex-young offender with whom we worked for 12 years, including visiting consistently in prison. He is a qualified fitness instructor and provides training and mentoring to young people involved with drug gangs or at risk of engaging in criminal activity from their own perspective, and has enabled other young offenders to turn a corner and become youth support workers.

SUPERKIDZ COMMUNITY TRUST

Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2021 Profile

Superkidz is a Christian foundation serving and employing people from deprived communities of any faith or none based in the London Borough of Greenwich. Our workforce has lived experience and first-hand knowledge of the issues on deprived estates. For example a number have overcome severe Adverse Childhood Experiences, drug gang membership, debt, domestic violence and drug addiction.

We have a core value of persevering loving care and unconditional positive regard, proven as a means to overcoming psychological scars and side effects like low self-esteem, learned helplessness and anxiety and depression. Young people who have experienced cruelty and neglect tend to view the world through a distorting lens that sees people as hostile and themselves in a distorting mirror that makes them feel worthless, useless and without hope. Our approach is proven to change both of these perceptions.

We specialise in work with young offenders, those who struggle with drugs and young people who have been victims of Adverse Childhood Experiences and who are vulnerable to being victims of recruitment into drug gangs or are already trapped in drug delivery work. We also address sexual responsibility with them. Vulnerable girls are an important focus. Helping them is also a way of preventing them from becoming victims of sexual exploitation, unplanned pregnancy and toxic relationships that sadly affect the next generation. Sadly, we are also having to address a significant rise in young people between the ages of 16 and 25 experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.

Led by members of our local deprived communities, we have developed a management model that enables disadvantaged adults and young people to see their own potential, and become paid leaders and workers who shape Superkidz as an organisation, and who transform their own communities from within. We have used our training and experience to develop a model that enables us to work with the most damaged children and young people and to train other organisations in our methods. This model tackles low selfesteem, aspirational deficits and psychological issues that lead to low performance at school and relational and behavioural problems. Our mentoring promotes long term engagement with education, training and employment. It teaches children and young people to relate successfully within wider society. The model works for both crisis prevention and intervention and is enabling those we work with to act as positive role models within their community.

The Need

Poverty

Greenwich is the 50th most deprived Local Authority in England (ranked out of 326 authorities) placing the borough district in the top 20% most deprived authorities. There are 151 LSOAs within Greenwich. There are 3 that fall within the 10% most deprived neighbourhoods and 38 in the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England. In terms of deprivation for children, the Indices of Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) shows there are 18 areas that are in the 10% most deprived areas and 52 that are in the 20% most deprived areas in England. (Royal Borough of Greenwich 2020). In London 53% of single parent households are living in poverty (after housing costs). On average 71% of Superkidz beneficiaries come from single parent households. Out of 32 London boroughs Greenwich ranks 3[rd] for home repossessions. ( London’s Poverty Profile. Trust for London 2022).

Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2021

Education

Students in Greenwich have one of the worst GCSE attainments in London, with 70.8% of students in the borough achieving grades 9-4 (equivalent to A*-C under the old system) in English and Maths at GCSE compared to 75.6% across the whole of the capital. Greenwich also has the highest proportion of 19-year-olds without level 3 qualifications at 38.7%, compared with the average of only 24.4% across boroughs. (Trust for London 2022)

Mortality

Greenwich has some of the highest infant mortality and premature mortality rates in all of London. 376 deaths in people below 75 years of age were recorded per 100,000 population; infant mortality rate, at 4.5 per 1,000 births, is the second highest in all of London, where the average is 3.4 deaths per 1,000 births. (Trust for London 2022)

Illegal Drugs

More than half a million doses of pure cocaine are consumed in London on average each day. Research by King’s College London found that the average daily amount of pure cocaine being consumed in London was 23kg - more than Europe's next three biggest cocaineconsuming cities combined; Barcelona (12.74kg), Amsterdam (4.62kg) and Berlin (4.62kg). (Kings College London). It means London's annual pure cocaine use now equates to more than eight tonnes which has an estimated street value of more than £1bn. (King’s College 2019)

Our experience is that the long-term effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) often leads to self-medication for anxiety and depression through illegal drugs, typically cannabis for anxiety and cocaine for depression. For carers, the cost of these further reduces available family income. The demand leads to a lucrative drugs economy where dealers recruit local boys as young as 12 to deliver drugs and their poverty makes them additionally vulnerable to being recruited. Our young offender group primarily targets these boys, who are also users.

Under 18 Pregnancy

Greenwich Council’s 2020 report on teen pregnancy says that for many teenagers bringing up a child is extremely difficult and often results in poor outcomes for both the teenage parent and the child, in terms of the baby’s health, the mother’s emotional health and wellbeing and the likelihood of both the parent and child living in long-term poverty. Teenage mothers are less likely to finish their education, are more likely to bring up their child alone and have a higher risk of poor mental health than older mothers. The children of teenage mothers have an increased risk of living in poverty and poor-quality housing and are more likely to have accidents and behavioural problems.

Infant mortality rates for babies born to teenage mothers are around 60% higher than for babies born to older mothers.

Risk factors for becoming a teenage parent include:

• poverty

• being a child in care

• children of teenage mothers

• low educational attainment

• truanting or exclusion from school

• 16-17 year olds not being in education, employment or training

• being a victim of sexual abuse

• mental health problems and involvement in crime.

SUPERKIDZ COMMUNITY TRUST

Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2021

The latest statistics indicate that under 18 pregnancies in the Borough currently vary year on year between 19 to 25 pregnancies per 1000. Superkidz has a group targeting vulnerable girls and helps carers who have been through the experience of teen pregnancy. We estimate that 74% of the children we served in 2021 were originally born to teenage mothers.

Domestic Violence

In 2021 out of 21 Superkidz Local Workers and Leaders 14 were domestic violence survivors, (Superkidz providing them with a sheltered introduction to employment). Greenwich Domestic Violence and Abuse Services reports that the number of domestic abuse crimes recorded by the police in England and Wales in the year ending March 2021 increased by 6%; from 798,607 in the year ending March 2020 to 845,734. In the year ending March 2021, the number of people supported by the National Domestic Abuse Helpline, run by the charity Refuge, in England increased by 22% to 49,756 compared with 40,859 in the year ending March 2020. The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) found that an estimated 2.3 million adults aged 16 to 74 years experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2020 representing a prevalence rate of approximately 5 in 100 adults.

Of domestic abuse cases 73.1% were against women and 26.9% were against men. (Office for National Statistics, November 2021) (Greenwich Domestic Violence and Abuse Services)

Teenage Violence

Most Serious Violence (MSV) rates in London have the highest numbers of both perpetrators and victims among males in the age range 15-19, a group targeted by our work with young offenders. (Understanding Serious Youth Violence in London GLA 2021)

Activities & Achievements

In 2021 our total beneficiary reach, reduced by the pandemic, still amounted to a total of 424 deprived beneficiaries face to face (359 children and young people and 65 carers) and 1105 online. 28 children under 4 years old were reached through our Stay n Play group, as well as 15 parents and carers. Our Children’s and Carers Support Groups engaged with 79 children and 50 carers face-to-face. Online Children’s and Carer provision achieved 1044 online views. We reached 142 young people and also created an online programme tackling issues like drug abuse, drug dealing and knife crime. See below for further information in relation to beneficiaries reached at each support session.

In the course of 2021 the activities that were suspended or online during 2020 were gradually resumed face-to -face under Covid precautions: social distancing, mask-wearing and covid cleaning of all furniture, walls and floors before and after each session. The last activity to be reinstated was the mothers’ and toddlers’ group Stay n Play in Autumn 2021 because of the problem of shared toddlers’ toys and the difficulty of maintaining social distance between toddlers. We followed National Youth Association rules which severely limited our numbers – 15 including workers at their most restricted. Online presentations continued reaching several hundred.

During 2021 we engaged with children, young people and their families every day of the week. Our main point of engagement was through our weekly support groups:

• one Stay n Play group for parents and toddlers

• two children’s and carer support groups

• six youth support groups.

Our Thursday youth support group was first introduced to continue to meet demand for support when Covid restrictions limited attendee numbers at each group. We continued to run this group having seen just how vital this additional support is for our young people as

we emerged from the pandemic. The weekly programme is outlined below.

Monday Sisters of Success (formerly Girl Power): Middle Park estate, SE9 5JH (term time) This is a group run by Local Community Leader CT (who achieved a Diploma in Youth Work in 2020) since May 2021 when Alice Baird left for a post in a school. CT is a domestic violence survivor from one of the Council estates we serve. She is the mother of 10 children, 4 with special needs, who plays a vital role > . . as a Superkidz leader. She is an accomplished artist and an és eo = ee meAy : expert in crafts and has brought these gifts as well as her hard) / won experience to the SOS group. The name change – Sisters of Success- was her idea. This group of teenage girls desperately need increased self-esteem, aspirations, independent thinking and mutual support. CT has instigated personal achievements books Pd <* + Ve, for each girl with entries made by other girls affirming one py another’s qualities and successes. This group aims to reinforce . RE girls’ self-esteem, build local support networks and combat sexual exploitation by local gang members and others. Art and craft on 3 a focused themes also enhances self-esteem and mutual support (see right).

The group continued to benefit from the mutual affirmation diaries (first initiated by CT) to raise each other’s self-esteem were a new strategy initiated by these workers. This is vital in helping girls avoid being part of the next generation of under-age mothers whose children in some cases will be subject to neglect or abuse and scenarios where serial stepfathers may in some cases be violent. Such children tend to form the next generation of young offenders, at risk girls, and addicts.

Average number of attendees each week: 8, with a peak of 11. Yearly total: 18

Tuesday Children and Carers Support Group: Page Estate, SE9 6DH (term time) Our weekly support group for 4-11-year-old children and their carers. These sessions promote self-esteem and resilience through creative, structured activities and enable isolated parents/carers to socialise. They also help carers with ideas for activities with children at home.

Average number of children each week: 13, with a peak of 26. Yearly total:36 Average number of carers engaged each week: 6 Yearly total: 20

Wednesday Stay n Play Carers and Toddlers: Middle Park Estate, SE9 5JH (term time) A friendly and informal group for parents and carers with preschool aged children providing support and encouragement alongside music, games and stories in a large and enriched safe play space with many toys and with craft activities.

Instagram & Facebook

We used Facebook to reach carers and children with fun-based messages based on our “power phrases” (see above).

We used Instagram to reach young people with important messages, for example anti-knife and anti-drugs presentations.

- Mentoring Successes Examples

CE was a youth scarred by domestic violence throughout his early childhood, diagnosed with several special needs including autism and ADHD, and whose behaviour as a youth was violent, erratic and unpredictable, such that our partners XLP would not allow him to attend their activities. He was also being mentioned in police meetings. Superkidz group-mentored him and 4 others weekly and established a good relationship. Superkidz also bought gardening and building equipment and lent them to him to set him up in self-employment. He became a busy and hard-working self-employed landscaper and gardener, producing high quality patios and advertising online for business. He was able to support his new family, which included his partner’s children from a previous relationship.

SG and BL were also part of this troubled group. With our support S obtained work on building sites in central London and in steady employment. B is a father and working in retail, holding down a steady job. He previously had a joyriding conviction and was mentioned in police meetings.

DC is the daughter of class A addicts who was a Junior Helper and then Local Community Worker (LCW) with Superkidz for many years. She was established successfully in the Care Work sector with Superkidz providing references.

ZC is a 16-year-old girl who has had multiple problems at school and home and was helped in applying for childcare apprenticeships.

S is a person born male and in the process of changing gender identity. She was supported through discriminatory behaviour at college and received regular mentoring

EM is a teenage girl suffering from stress through anxiety about other people’s problems. She is highly intelligent and has aspirations to be a doctor. Her over empathising led to disruption to her concentration but she steadily improved through mentoring.

FN is a teenage girl with autism who has anger management problems. She was supported through a long wait for autism diagnosis.

- Crisis Management Examples

T, a victim of DV who was moved well out of area. We liaised with her MARAC worker to ensure she has local, ongoing support.

We offered support to a pregnant 17-year-old who is a Looked After Child. We helped her to know her rights and what social services involvement would take place with her pregnancy.

We mentored a drug user who is considering taking up a place at in-patient rehab.

Research & Development

Outcome Harvesting

Outcome harvesting is a process developed in foreign aid work by Sam Moody, one of our trustees. It inputs into our strategic planning and involves a process of reviewing all positive results of our work and describing them on a database. In 2021 this resulted in two major strategic decisions:

a. carers from the deprived communities we serve becoming managers and leaders in Superkidz and shaping our delivery to their own communities.

b. greater engagement with, and support of carers who bring children, including in informal parenting support.

Knife Crime & Violence

We continue to develop our understanding in how to tackle this problem which affects so many in this area. Our informal interviews with gang members and drug dealers to date, along with academic psychological data, show that Adverse Childhood Experiences (for example infant physical victimisation by a stepfather) lead to a mindset that generalises others as hostile and potentially threatening and also creates painfully low self-esteem play an important part in violent reactions. The fears that arise from the context of gang violence also play a key role. These factors are detailed in our youth work manual TGIM.

Drugs We are continuing our work in this area by looking at brain reward systems and how to reduce the need for drugs. The use of mutually supportive group dynamics and positive youth worker interactions based on Unconditional Positive Regard for producing oxytocin and games and exercise for dopamine and natural endorphins is helping our at risk youth group.

Gangs

We continued to develop our understanding of the gang as a type of social group, and how to create a sense of belonging at youth support groups which helps to prevent gang membership. Brain chemicals producing a sense of well-being from status and belonging can be fuelled by gangs. We run our youth support groups and youth mentoring in a way that provides status/self-esteem to young people and a feeling of belonging that emulates what gangs offer without the criminality, violence and dangers to young people.

- Partnerships and Co operation

Members

Our members are also partners, and representatives of parents, young people and children who come to our support groups meet with Board members each term to feedback and propose changes.

Royal Borough of Greenwich

We have a partnership with the Council through its youth work provider, Charlton Athletic Community Trust.

Churches

In 2021 we had partnerships with Church Army, Eltham Green Community Church and St. Saviour’s Churches, and with Church Army, a national and international Anglican Church organisation. We are supported by many other churches through financial giving and gifts of Christmas presents for children and Easter eggs.

Greenwich Council

We delivered part of the Borough’s Healthy Activity and Food (HAF) project over the Summer of 2021. We provided healthy food and exercise along with training for carers and young people in healthy recipes.

Metropolitan Police & MI6

Intelligence was passed to both these organisations about organised crime and radicalised young people joining a terrorist group.

XLP Partnership

We have a mature partnership with the London-wide charity XLP. We helped XLP provide detached work during lockdown when their double decker bus was considered not covid secure.

Local Schools and Colleges

We worked closely with 3 local primary schools.

Food Bank Superkidz is part of the Greenwich Food Bank voucher distribution system.

Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2021 Replicable Youth Work Model

We have used our professional and academic training in psychology and sociology combined with practical personal experience to develop a manual and replicable model. This guides children’s, youth and family work across several estates. The team has also provided training in this model for other organisations. Crucially, the model enables those whom we help to contribute to their own communities and act as strong, positive role models within them. Our theory of change is based on the following triangle, and is set out in our Transform Group and Individual Mentoring (TGIM) manual.

Negative Internal Working Model

----- Start of picture text -----
At Risk
Young Person
----- End of picture text -----

Negative Personal Constructs Negative Group/Gang Norms

The Internal Working Model is a framework of generalised beliefs and emotional responses shaped by experiences in early years. Children who have been the victims of physical or mental neglect or abuse at the hands of their carers often see all adults as uncaring or hostile, and react accordingly with aggression or withdrawal. Persevering care over a significant period, usually in the face of abuse, changes this.

Personal Construct Psychology focuses on hidden unconscious assumptions on which conclusions are based, which in turn guide decisions – such as, “I failed at school, therefore I am stupid – therefore drug dealing and crime are my only option”. The role of youth workers is to identify the underlying assumptions and conclusions, and help young people look at them critically and replace them where they are negative and destructive.

Social norms are among the most powerful forces influencing behaviour. Laws are often powerless by comparison. For example, there was group approval among many MPs to misuse expense claims, flouting the law and their own rules. They were not “criminal types”, but ordinary people. Communities and particularly the micro-communities of gangs, have their own norms on which group approval or rejection is based. The role of youth workers is to help young people to think for themselves, with reference to other values.

Training

We carried out routine training in

• a. Safeguarding x3 sessions

• b. Working with children who have special needs

• c. Working with anxiety sufferers

We are planning to employ a part-time BACP counsellor to address mental health needs among our young people and to provide training to staff in the psychological knowledge needed for counselling. The pandemic has led to a greater incidence of mental health problems in young people.

Samuel Moody Trustee Kane Brooks Trustee for Safeguarding Debjani Roy Trustee Superkidz Community Trust has responsibilities for employees and volunteers, repairs and maintenance of rented accommodation and the Trustees of Superkidz Community Trust decide how the funds of the Trust are to be spent.

Chairman

The board members are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom generally accepted accounting practice.

Charity law requires the board members to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the church and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the board members are required to:

• Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

• Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the activities of the charity will continue.

The board members are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Superkidz Community Trust

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Superkidz Community Trust

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 13.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission

• under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

• to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting

• requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities SORP (FRS102)

have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited Financial Statements (independently examined by Swaleside Accountancy Ltd, Chartered Accountants) of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021

Mission

We support and empower deprived communities through persevering loving care. Superkidz helps to maximise the potential and well-being of children, young people and families in the most deprived areas of the London Borough of Greenwich, restoring their innate human resilience and resourcefulness which enables them to become agents of change and to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty in their own communities.

Objectives

When planning our activities for the year, the trustees consider the most deprived estates in the locality and the range of children, young people and families from backgrounds of multiple disadvantage and seek to empower them and involve them in providing a broad range of individual and community social education activities and programmes aimed at maximising potential and positive outcomes, supporting vulnerable carers in good parenting, encouraging positive attitudes and fostering self-esteem in children and young people, preventing them from engaging in crime, drug use and negative lifestyles, and intervening with those who are already entangled in the latter.

Aim

Superkidz’ primary aim is to work in and with deprived communities to disrupt cycles of low educational attainment, family dysfunction, violence, criminality, psychological damage, and poverty. We do this by a combination of crisis prevention and intervention in the lives of children and young people and by working with carers. Our methods are informed by psychological and sociological expertise. We support members of those communities to see their gifts and use them to bring about transformation in their own neighbourhoods and beyond. The exchange of expertise is mutual: we train and empower local carers and young adults in various skills, employ them as workers and receive training from them in the best ways of running activities and growing their communities’ strengths, and in how to help the most vulnerable children, young people and carers. These include those previously recruited into crime, drug dealing and county lines, former drug addicts and victims of domestic abuse and violence. For example, one of our youth mentors is a local ex-young offender with whom we worked for 12 years, including visiting consistently in prison. He is a qualified fitness instructor and provides training and mentoring to young people involved with drug gangs or at risk of engaging in criminal activity from their own perspective, and has enabled other young offenders to turn a corner and become youth support workers.

SUPERKIDZ COMMUNITY TRUST

Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2021 Profile

Superkidz is a Christian foundation serving and employing people from deprived communities of any faith or none based in the London Borough of Greenwich. Our workforce has lived experience and first-hand knowledge of the issues on deprived estates. For example a number have overcome severe Adverse Childhood Experiences, drug gang membership, debt, domestic violence and drug addiction.

We have a core value of persevering loving care and unconditional positive regard, proven as a means to overcoming psychological scars and side effects like low self-esteem, learned helplessness and anxiety and depression. Young people who have experienced cruelty and neglect tend to view the world through a distorting lens that sees people as hostile and themselves in a distorting mirror that makes them feel worthless, useless and without hope. Our approach is proven to change both of these perceptions.

We specialise in work with young offenders, those who struggle with drugs and young people who have been victims of Adverse Childhood Experiences and who are vulnerable to being victims of recruitment into drug gangs or are already trapped in drug delivery work. We also address sexual responsibility with them. Vulnerable girls are an important focus. Helping them is also a way of preventing them from becoming victims of sexual exploitation, unplanned pregnancy and toxic relationships that sadly affect the next generation. Sadly, we are also having to address a significant rise in young people between the ages of 16 and 25 experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.

Led by members of our local deprived communities, we have developed a management model that enables disadvantaged adults and young people to see their own potential, and become paid leaders and workers who shape Superkidz as an organisation, and who transform their own communities from within. We have used our training and experience to develop a model that enables us to work with the most damaged children and young people and to train other organisations in our methods. This model tackles low selfesteem, aspirational deficits and psychological issues that lead to low performance at school and relational and behavioural problems. Our mentoring promotes long term engagement with education, training and employment. It teaches children and young people to relate successfully within wider society. The model works for both crisis prevention and intervention and is enabling those we work with to act as positive role models within their community.

The Need

Poverty

Greenwich is the 50th most deprived Local Authority in England (ranked out of 326 authorities) placing the borough district in the top 20% most deprived authorities. There are 151 LSOAs within Greenwich. There are 3 that fall within the 10% most deprived neighbourhoods and 38 in the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England. In terms of deprivation for children, the Indices of Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) shows there are 18 areas that are in the 10% most deprived areas and 52 that are in the 20% most deprived areas in England. (Royal Borough of Greenwich 2020). In London 53% of single parent households are living in poverty (after housing costs). On average 71% of Superkidz beneficiaries come from single parent households. Out of 32 London boroughs Greenwich ranks 3[rd] for home repossessions. ( London’s Poverty Profile. Trust for London 2022).

Education

Students in Greenwich have one of the worst GCSE attainments in London, with 70.8% of students in the borough achieving grades 9-4 (equivalent to A*-C under the old system) in English and Maths at GCSE compared to 75.6% across the whole of the capital. Greenwich also has the highest proportion of 19-year-olds without level 3 qualifications at 38.7%, compared with the average of only 24.4% across boroughs. (Trust for London 2022)

Mortality

Greenwich has some of the highest infant mortality and premature mortality rates in all of London. 376 deaths in people below 75 years of age were recorded per 100,000 population; infant mortality rate, at 4.5 per 1,000 births, is the second highest in all of London, where the average is 3.4 deaths per 1,000 births. (Trust for London 2022)

Illegal Drugs

More than half a million doses of pure cocaine are consumed in London on average each day. Research by King’s College London found that the average daily amount of pure cocaine being consumed in London was 23kg - more than Europe's next three biggest cocaineconsuming cities combined; Barcelona (12.74kg), Amsterdam (4.62kg) and Berlin (4.62kg). (Kings College London). It means London's annual pure cocaine use now equates to more than eight tonnes which has an estimated street value of more than £1bn. (King’s College 2019)

Our experience is that the long-term effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) often leads to self-medication for anxiety and depression through illegal drugs, typically cannabis for anxiety and cocaine for depression. For carers, the cost of these further reduces available family income. The demand leads to a lucrative drugs economy where dealers recruit local boys as young as 12 to deliver drugs and their poverty makes them additionally vulnerable to being recruited. Our young offender group primarily targets these boys, who are also users.

Under 18 Pregnancy

Greenwich Council’s 2020 report on teen pregnancy says that for many teenagers bringing up a child is extremely difficult and often results in poor outcomes for both the teenage parent and the child, in terms of the baby’s health, the mother’s emotional health and wellbeing and the likelihood of both the parent and child living in long-term poverty. Teenage mothers are less likely to finish their education, are more likely to bring up their child alone and have a higher risk of poor mental health than older mothers. The children of teenage mothers have an increased risk of living in poverty and poor-quality housing and are more likely to have accidents and behavioural problems.

Infant mortality rates for babies born to teenage mothers are around 60% higher than for babies born to older mothers.

Risk factors for becoming a teenage parent include:

• poverty

• being a child in care

• children of teenage mothers

• low educational attainment

• truanting or exclusion from school

• 16-17 year olds not being in education, employment or training

• being a victim of sexual abuse

• mental health problems and involvement in crime.

SUPERKIDZ COMMUNITY TRUST

Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2021

The latest statistics indicate that under 18 pregnancies in the Borough currently vary year on year between 19 to 25 pregnancies per 1000. Superkidz has a group targeting vulnerable girls and helps carers who have been through the experience of teen pregnancy. We estimate that 74% of the children we served in 2021 were originally born to teenage mothers.

Domestic Violence

In 2021 out of 21 Superkidz Local Workers and Leaders 14 were domestic violence survivors, (Superkidz providing them with a sheltered introduction to employment). Greenwich Domestic Violence and Abuse Services reports that the number of domestic abuse crimes recorded by the police in England and Wales in the year ending March 2021 increased by 6%; from 798,607 in the year ending March 2020 to 845,734. In the year ending March 2021, the number of people supported by the National Domestic Abuse Helpline, run by the charity Refuge, in England increased by 22% to 49,756 compared with 40,859 in the year ending March 2020. The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) found that an estimated 2.3 million adults aged 16 to 74 years experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2020 representing a prevalence rate of approximately 5 in 100 adults.

Of domestic abuse cases 73.1% were against women and 26.9% were against men. (Office for National Statistics, November 2021) (Greenwich Domestic Violence and Abuse Services)

Teenage Violence

Most Serious Violence (MSV) rates in London have the highest numbers of both perpetrators and victims among males in the age range 15-19, a group targeted by our work with young offenders. (Understanding Serious Youth Violence in London GLA 2021)

Activities & Achievements

In 2021 our total beneficiary reach, reduced by the pandemic, still amounted to a total of 424 deprived beneficiaries face to face (359 children and young people and 65 carers) and 1105 online. 28 children under 4 years old were reached through our Stay n Play group, as well as 15 parents and carers. Our Children’s and Carers Support Groups engaged with 79 children and 50 carers face-to-face. Online Children’s and Carer provision achieved 1044 online views. We reached 142 young people and also created an online programme tackling issues like drug abuse, drug dealing and knife crime. See below for further information in relation to beneficiaries reached at each support session.

In the course of 2021 the activities that were suspended or online during 2020 were gradually resumed face-to -face under Covid precautions: social distancing, mask-wearing and covid cleaning of all furniture, walls and floors before and after each session. The last activity to be reinstated was the mothers’ and toddlers’ group Stay n Play in Autumn 2021 because of the problem of shared toddlers’ toys and the difficulty of maintaining social distance between toddlers. We followed National Youth Association rules which severely limited our numbers – 15 including workers at their most restricted. Online presentations continued reaching several hundred.

During 2021 we engaged with children, young people and their families every day of the week. Our main point of engagement was through our weekly support groups:

• one Stay n Play group for parents and toddlers

• two children’s and carer support groups

• six youth support groups.

Our Thursday youth support group was first introduced to continue to meet demand for support when Covid restrictions limited attendee numbers at each group. We continued to run this group having seen just how vital this additional support is for our young people as

we emerged from the pandemic. The weekly programme is outlined below.

Monday Sisters of Success (formerly Girl Power): Middle Park estate, SE9 5JH (term time) This is a group run by Local Community Leader CT (who achieved a Diploma in Youth Work in 2020) since May 2021 when Alice Baird left for a post in a school. CT is a domestic violence survivor from one of the Council estates we serve. She is the mother of 10 children, 4 with special needs, who plays a vital role > . . as a Superkidz leader. She is an accomplished artist and an és eo = ee meAy : expert in crafts and has brought these gifts as well as her hard) / won experience to the SOS group. The name change – Sisters of Success- was her idea. This group of teenage girls desperately need increased self-esteem, aspirations, independent thinking and mutual support. CT has instigated personal achievements books Pd <* + Ve, for each girl with entries made by other girls affirming one py another’s qualities and successes. This group aims to reinforce . RE girls’ self-esteem, build local support networks and combat sexual exploitation by local gang members and others. Art and craft on 3 a focused themes also enhances self-esteem and mutual support (see right).

The group continued to benefit from the mutual affirmation diaries (first initiated by CT) to raise each other’s self-esteem were a new strategy initiated by these workers. This is vital in helping girls avoid being part of the next generation of under-age mothers whose children in some cases will be subject to neglect or abuse and scenarios where serial stepfathers may in some cases be violent. Such children tend to form the next generation of young offenders, at risk girls, and addicts.

Instagram & Facebook

We used Facebook to reach carers and children with fun-based messages based on our “power phrases” (see above).

We used Instagram to reach young people with important messages, for example anti-knife and anti-drugs presentations.

- Mentoring Successes Examples

CE was a youth scarred by domestic violence throughout his early childhood, diagnosed with several special needs including autism and ADHD, and whose behaviour as a youth was violent, erratic and unpredictable, such that our partners XLP would not allow him to attend their activities. He was also being mentioned in police meetings. Superkidz group-mentored him and 4 others weekly and established a good relationship. Superkidz also bought gardening and building equipment and lent them to him to set him up in self-employment. He became a busy and hard-working self-employed landscaper and gardener, producing high quality patios and advertising online for business. He was able to support his new family, which included his partner’s children from a previous relationship.

SG and BL were also part of this troubled group. With our support S obtained work on building sites in central London and in steady employment. B is a father and working in retail, holding down a steady job. He previously had a joyriding conviction and was mentioned in police meetings.

DC is the daughter of class A addicts who was a Junior Helper and then Local Community Worker (LCW) with Superkidz for many years. She was established successfully in the Care Work sector with Superkidz providing references.

ZC is a 16-year-old girl who has had multiple problems at school and home and was helped in applying for childcare apprenticeships.

S is a person born male and in the process of changing gender identity. She was supported through discriminatory behaviour at college and received regular mentoring

EM is a teenage girl suffering from stress through anxiety about other people’s problems. She is highly intelligent and has aspirations to be a doctor. Her over empathising led to disruption to her concentration but she steadily improved through mentoring.

FN is a teenage girl with autism who has anger management problems. She was supported through a long wait for autism diagnosis.

- Crisis Management Examples

T, a victim of DV who was moved well out of area. We liaised with her MARAC worker to ensure she has local, ongoing support.

We offered support to a pregnant 17-year-old who is a Looked After Child. We helped her to know her rights and what social services involvement would take place with her pregnancy.

We mentored a drug user who is considering taking up a place at in-patient rehab.

Research & Development

Outcome Harvesting

Outcome harvesting is a process developed in foreign aid work by Sam Moody, one of our trustees. It inputs into our strategic planning and involves a process of reviewing all positive results of our work and describing them on a database. In 2021 this resulted in two major strategic decisions:

a. carers from the deprived communities we serve becoming managers and leaders in Superkidz and shaping our delivery to their own communities.

b. greater engagement with, and support of carers who bring children, including in informal parenting support.

Knife Crime & Violence

We continue to develop our understanding in how to tackle this problem which affects so many in this area. Our informal interviews with gang members and drug dealers to date, along with academic psychological data, show that Adverse Childhood Experiences (for example infant physical victimisation by a stepfather) lead to a mindset that generalises others as hostile and potentially threatening and also creates painfully low self-esteem play an important part in violent reactions. The fears that arise from the context of gang violence also play a key role. These factors are detailed in our youth work manual TGIM.

Drugs We are continuing our work in this area by looking at brain reward systems and how to reduce the need for drugs. The use of mutually supportive group dynamics and positive youth worker interactions based on Unconditional Positive Regard for producing oxytocin and games and exercise for dopamine and natural endorphins is helping our at risk youth group.

Gangs

We continued to develop our understanding of the gang as a type of social group, and how to create a sense of belonging at youth support groups which helps to prevent gang membership. Brain chemicals producing a sense of well-being from status and belonging can be fuelled by gangs. We run our youth support groups and youth mentoring in a way that provides status/self-esteem to young people and a feeling of belonging that emulates what gangs offer without the criminality, violence and dangers to young people.

- Partnerships and Co operation

Members

Our members are also partners, and representatives of parents, young people and children who come to our support groups meet with Board members each term to feedback and propose changes.

Royal Borough of Greenwich

We have a partnership with the Council through its youth work provider, Charlton Athletic Community Trust.

Churches

In 2021 we had partnerships with Church Army, Eltham Green Community Church and St. Saviour’s Churches, and with Church Army, a national and international Anglican Church organisation. We are supported by many other churches through financial giving and gifts of Christmas presents for children and Easter eggs.

Greenwich Council

We delivered part of the Borough’s Healthy Activity and Food (HAF) project over the Summer of 2021. We provided healthy food and exercise along with training for carers and young people in healthy recipes.

Metropolitan Police & MI6

Intelligence was passed to both these organisations about organised crime and radicalised young people joining a terrorist group.

XLP Partnership

We have a mature partnership with the London-wide charity XLP. We helped XLP provide detached work during lockdown when their double decker bus was considered not covid secure.

Local Schools and Colleges

We worked closely with 3 local primary schools.

Food Bank Superkidz is part of the Greenwich Food Bank voucher distribution system.

SUPERKIDZ COMMUNITY TRUST

Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2021 Replicable Youth Work Model

We have used our professional and academic training in psychology and sociology combined with practical personal experience to develop a manual and replicable model. This guides children’s, youth and family work across several estates. The team has also provided training in this model for other organisations. Crucially, the model enables those whom we help to contribute to their own communities and act as strong, positive role models within them. Our theory of change is based on the following triangle, and is set out in our Transform Group and Individual Mentoring (TGIM) manual.

Negative Internal Working Model

----- Start of picture text -----
At Risk
Young Person
----- End of picture text -----

Negative Personal Constructs Negative Group/Gang Norms

The Internal Working Model is a framework of generalised beliefs and emotional responses shaped by experiences in early years. Children who have been the victims of physical or mental neglect or abuse at the hands of their carers often see all adults as uncaring or hostile, and react accordingly with aggression or withdrawal. Persevering care over a significant period, usually in the face of abuse, changes this.

Personal Construct Psychology focuses on hidden unconscious assumptions on which conclusions are based, which in turn guide decisions – such as, “I failed at school, therefore I am stupid – therefore drug dealing and crime are my only option”. The role of youth workers is to identify the underlying assumptions and conclusions, and help young people look at them critically and replace them where they are negative and destructive.

Social norms are among the most powerful forces influencing behaviour. Laws are often powerless by comparison. For example, there was group approval among many MPs to misuse expense claims, flouting the law and their own rules. They were not “criminal types”, but ordinary people. Communities and particularly the micro-communities of gangs, have their own norms on which group approval or rejection is based. The role of youth workers is to help young people to think for themselves, with reference to other values.

Training

We carried out routine training in

• a. Safeguarding x3 sessions

• b. Working with children who have special needs

• c. Working with anxiety sufferers

Annual Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2021

Samuel Moody Trustee Kane Brooks Trustee for Safeguarding Debjani Roy Trustee Superkidz Community Trust has responsibilities for employees and volunteers, repairs and maintenance of rented accommodation and the Trustees of Superkidz Community Trust decide how the funds of the Trust are to be spent.

Chairman

The board members are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom generally accepted accounting practice.

Charity law requires the board members to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the church and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the board members are required to:

• Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

• Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the activities of the charity will continue.

The board members are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Superkidz Community Trust

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Superkidz Community Trust

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 13.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission

• under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

• to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting

• requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities SORP (FRS102)

have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
