Trustees’ Annual Report for the period ended 31 December 2024

The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited Financial Statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective from 1 January 2015.

Constitution

Superkidz Community Trust is a charitable company limited by guarantee which obtained its charitable status in July 2008. The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up each member of the Board is required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

Prior to registering as a charity Superkidz Community Trust operated as a non-profit unincorporated body guided by its constitution.

Our Mission and Aims

We exist to empower and support children, young people, and families living in the most deprived areas of the London Borough of Greenwich. Through persistent, compassionate care, we work to unlock their potential, restore self-worth, and nurture the resilience and resourcefulness needed to break cycles of poverty, violence, and disadvantage.

Our primary aim is to disrupt intergenerational cycles of low educational attainment, family dysfunction, criminality, and psychological harm. We do this through a combination of crisis prevention, direct intervention, and long-term community engagement. Our work is informed by psychological and sociological expertise, and is rooted in collaboration with the communities we serve.

Our model is one of mutual learning. We train and employ local carers and young adults, while also learning from their lived experiences. Many of our workers are individuals with past involvement in county lines, addiction, or domestic violence who now using their insight and growth to help others.

The Need

Child poverty in Greenwich

The borough’s own and London-wide profiles report a very high child-poverty rate: Greenwich — 40% of children in poverty (after housing costs, AHC) , compared with a London average of 35% (AHC) . Trust for London+1

The community

The development of our staff, all of whom are from the local community, is a key part of our theory of change.

Nationally, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates that in the year ending March 2024, 2.3 million adults (aged 16+) experienced domestic abuse in England and Wales — around 4.8% of the adult population . Police recorded 851,062 domestic-abuse-related crimes that year. Women represented 72.5% of victims , and men 27.5% . (ONS Domestic Abuse in England and Wales, Year Ending March 2024; Refuge Annual Report 2024)

Locally, the Royal Borough of Greenwich Serious Violence Strategic Needs Assessment (2023–2024) recorded 7,327 domestic-abuse-flagged offences , equivalent to around 17% of all crime in the borough . Victims were three times more likely to be female than male , and offending was spread across ethnic groups. Almost 40% of incidents occurred between 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. , underscoring the strain on families and youth services during after-school hours. These figures highlight that domestic abuse remains a significant and persistent issue for Greenwich households and is closely linked to the poverty, trauma, and family instability we see first-hand through our work. (SNA 2023–2024 pp. 44–45, 77–79)

The Community (continued)

Teenage Violence (2023–2024)

The Greenwich Strategic Needs Assessment shows that serious-violence offences increased by 7% , rising from 3,983 in 2021 to 4,321 in 2022 — around one in six offences in the borough . Knife-related offences rose by 14.6% , and the number of victims aged 1–17 increased by 20% in a single year. While most incidents were not gang-related, areas such as Abbey Wood, Thamesmead, Plumstead and Woolwich remain hotspots for serious violence and youth victimisation. (SNA 2023–2024 pp. 44–46)

The report also notes that young people at risk of school exclusion and those with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs are disproportionately represented among those involved in serious violence and criminal exploitation. Among First Time Entrants to the Youth Justice Service (2019–2023 cohort), 32% came from the 20% most deprived areas of Greenwich , and around four in ten showed evidence of substance misuse , typically cannabis. (SNA 2023–2024 pp. 38–40)

Our own work mirrors these findings. Superkidz engages young people — mostly boys aged 15–19 — who are both victims and perpetrators of violence. Many are in care, excluded from school, or affected by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Through mentoring and faith-based community activities, we help them address trauma, build positive relationships, and develop purpose and hope. This aligns with the borough’s priority to reduce serious violence through a whole-systems, public-health approach focusing on prevention, partnership, and early intervention. (SNA 2023–2024 p. 12)

Staff

In the period of this report, we employed an Executive Manager and an administrator and funder liaison. We also worked with 26 members of staff who are all from the local community we serve. We increased wages in line with the cost of living and are proud to be a London living wage employer. All staff undertook regular safeguarding training in the reporting period. We are proud of our workforce, many of whom bring valuable lived experience that enables them to build deep, authentic connections with our service users. This unique insight allows them to relate in ways that traditional approaches often cannot.

Our staff deliver personalised, one-to-one mentoring and support, recognising that there is no “one size fits all” solution. Every individual and family we work with has their own story, and we respond with a tailored approach that meets their specific needs, challenges, and strengths.

Review of the period

Overview

During this reporting period we ran:

Kids and Carers Support Groups

These are run twice per week in term time. Good values and resilience are taught through our colouring sheets and jungle puppet stories. They are based on the following “power phrases” which children learn off by heart as they play the various animal puppet parts in stories that illustrate the phrases. They are designed to address or prevent difficulties impacting personal well-being and success, and life in families, at school and in the wider community.

Stay n Play (carers and toddlers)

This group is timed to take place at 9.15 after carers have taken older siblings to school. A wide variety of activities is provided by a very experienced staff group that and includes qualified nursery staff and a qualified childminder. Carers receive support and advice on parenting, schools and other topics as they need it. There are usually 5 activity areas at a session (which change weekly), plus a carers’ table where support advice and guidance are given to parents and carers.

School Student Support Groups

These run twice per week throughout the year apart from a week at Christmas, meaning young people have access to support during school term and the holidays. Hot food is available. Attendees can choose how they spend their time. We provide an art and craft table, boxing bag and gloves, table tennis and pool tables. Individual and group mentoring takes place. Five young people from a college for young people with special needs joined the group last year and they have integrated well.

Young Offenders

Many of the young people we have been working with over several years have now graduated out of the programme. They have gone on to live productive lives and are engaging in work, school college and other programmes such as apprenticeships.

Many at-risk young people faced personal barriers—such as low confidence, unstable home lives, or mental health challenges—that group courses couldn’t address and we struggled to recruit and maintain attendance. By focusing on one-to-one mentoring , we provide tailored support that builds trust, resilience, and readiness for work. This approach has led to higher retention in training, better job outcomes, and more meaningful, sustained change. Mentoring enables young people to engage at their own pace, with practical support that matches their real-world needs and aspirations. The barrier of entry into the workforce wasn't the training, it was the introduction to a company and associated support required and that is where we have shifted our focus.

Attendance

In 2024 our total reach was 520, this includes our community outreach work.

We are proud of the number of people that use our services regularly and encourage other young people and carers to participate. Word of mouth is the main way we manage to reach more young people in need and brings in many more new service users than our social media channels or local advertising. Superkidz is highly regarded and is seen to be at the heart of the Eltham community by local residents.

Achievements

One of our key focuses has been investing in staff training, ensuring they are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to support those who rely on us. This includes certifications in areas such as food hygiene, mentoring, bereavement support, and safeguarding, among others. By empowering our staff, we enhance the quality of service we provide to our attendees.

We are also passionate about empowering our service users to dream big and take steps toward a positive future. We support them by funding courses to improve employability and offering access to essential services like counselling and mentoring.

Our attendees with special educational needs have shown remarkable growth in confidence, resilience, and independence. For example, we work with a young person in our Kids and Carers Club provision who has developed greater independent play skills and independent living skills as a direct result of engaging in our programme. He has learned to eat independently as part of our programme.

Some of our young offenders have chosen to leave their pasts behind, moving on from engaging in antisocial behaviour to focus on engaging in school, college and work opportunities. We have seen schoolaged children thrive in a safe space where they receive homework help and can play and learn after school. Additionally, parents and carers find support, guidance, and a sense of belonging within our programmes.

A core part of our mission is ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry, which is why all our clubs are free and include hot & cold food as well as beverages for every attendee. This helps families who may struggle to provide food, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate fully. The uptake of food in our provision is currently at more than 85% demonstrating a real and significant need for this to be available to our participants.

Development

Over the period, Trustees undertook a review of HR and finance policies and practices, with the assistance of HR specialists Eximia and our new Accountants Aplus Accountancy Ltd. As a result they agreed a series of measures, including changes to both HR policies and practices and financial processes. Over the Summer holidays period, Trustees worked with staff to embed these new practices.

Our approach to Equality Diversity and Inclusion

The young people we work with are from a large range of backgrounds. Our staff team is based from the local community, and a lot of our staff members are ex service users with lived experience of many of the issues we address, which we believe is a huge strength of the team that we work with.

Superkidz Community Trust expects all employees and volunteers to act with appropriate sensitivity in all their dealings connected with its work and activities, treating with equal respect all persons, regardless of ethnicity, beliefs and affiliations (where these are legal), gender and gender identity, disability, marital status, age, sexual orientation, financial and personal status, membership group, appearance, attitudes, culture and behaviour (where this is lawful) or any other personal characteristic. Our policy and commitment is to ensure that everyone connected with the Trust (including those applying for employment and following termination of employment) is treated fairly and with respect to the above list.

Our Equal opportunities and inclusion policy was revised in 2021 and with the arrival of our new Executive Manager will be reviewed and updated with Trustees.

Our Partnerships

We continue our partnerships with the community safety team at the local authority Over the past year, we have developed a partnership with Family Gateway in Tyneside to explore and learn from their practices, especially in relation to employing local community workers with lived experience. We have also been offered office accommodation and are working alongside the Greenwich Winter Night Shelter. We are also further developing our relationships with local Councillors and our MP, with the longer term aspiration to find premises of our own.

Case studies

These are some examples of some case studies that demonstrate the impact of our work. Through our programs, Superkidz has helped hundreds of young people escape cycles of poverty, violence, and hopelessness. The charity’s work is rooted in the belief that every child deserves a chance to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Kids’ and Carers’ Support Groups

M is a mother in her twenties with a drug addiction whose baby girl and 10 year old son (who has special needs) are in the care of relations. They were brought twice a week to our activities and social services arranged for these sessions to be supervised contact time for M. They have been able to have a happy time together in safe conditions. M received mentoring from one of our staff and opted for a drug rehabilitation course.

K, a 19-year-old from Eltham* , has moderate learning difficulties that affected her confidence, memory, and ability to engage in school. Although she had a strong interest in cooking, she lacked support to pursue it.

After joining Superkidz Community Trust ’s youth club, K was offered one-to-one mentoring with a youth worker who helped her build basic cooking skills, confidence, and independence. She is now working towards a Level 1 Introduction to Culinary Skills qualification .

K currently helps prepare hot meals for other young people at the Superkidz youth club. She’s become a reliable and valued member of the team—and an inspiration to others beginning their own journeys.

Youth Group

Case study 1: One young man who grew up surrounded by gang culture and struggled with severe anxiety credits Superkidz with helping him turn his life around. Through mentoring and access to creative workshops, he discovered a passion for music production and is now pursuing a career in the industry. Stories like his illustrate the life-changing impact of the charity’s work.

Case study 2: A drug gang member who was vulnerable to be used by drug dealers because he never returned to school after Covid and lost his school friends, had very low self-esteem and a high need to feel accepted. His responses were often aggressive because of a very distorted internal working model (the lens through which we view others and the mirror in which we see ourselves). He is now confident about other people and about his acceptance by others, so that he is no longer compelled to be part of the drug gang.

B is an A level student in his first year and was on the point of leaving school owing to significant problems at home made worse during Covid lockdown because he was unable to escape a toxic family environment (3 of his siblings were taken into care). He is now able to continue his studies and in fact with social services approval is being fostered by one of our mentors, trained under this project.

Review of the period (continued)

Case studies (continued)

M, a 17-year-old from South London, was identified as at-risk due to challenging home circumstances, school exclusions, and association with antisocial peer groups. Lacking direction and self-esteem, he was on the brink of entering the criminal justice system when a youth worker began engaging him through our weekly youth groups and mentoring. Building trust over time, the youth worker encouraged M to pursue hands-on work and connected him with a local building firm offering second chances. Starting as a labourer, M showed commitment and reliability, eventually discovering a passion for painting and decorating. With ongoing support, he trained under a senior decorator and now, at 20, works full-time across London. He also returns to Superkidz to share his story and inspire others.

Our people

Executive Manager - Boris Witzenfeld

Boris Witzenfeld is a highly accomplished arts and community professional with over 15 years of experience in programme development, youth engagement, and strategic leadership. Currently serving as Executive Manager at Superkidz Community Trust, Boris leads diverse programming initiatives, manages events, staff, and drives community partnerships. His career highlights include managing youthfocused programs at SHAK and Hoxton Hall, where he excelled in fostering community engagement, developing participatory arts projects, and securing significant funding for new initiatives. At Almeida Theatre, he spearheaded educational programs and youth academies while mentoring postgraduate students. Known for his expertise in safeguarding, fundraising, and creative project delivery, Boris combines a strong academic foundation in community arts with a commitment to community development and inclusive programming.

Staff delivery team

Our workforce is drawn from local communities. They now have the leading role in the design and delivery of our services and are key to our success. Local Community Leaders (LCLs) are mainly parents/carers in the community whose children are, or have been, attendees at our children’s and youth sessions, and we also have younger Local Community Workers (LCWs) who have come up through children’s and youth clubs. Most have come from extreme disadvantage and adverse childhood events with no exam qualifications. However, with the right support and affirmation and management style it became apparent that they had exceptional ability and we have built them up to form our main paid workforce. An outstanding Local Community Leader has helped us develop specific management techniques that are effective in nurturing and empowering disadvantaged local people and helping them to discover gifts and abilities that enable them to transform deprived communities from within. All are paid at least the London Living Wage.

Appointments to the Board of Trustees

In line with the Board’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, any new appointment to the Board of Trustees is a matter for consideration by the directors. The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that appropriate induction, training and information is provided as required.

In line with this process Superkidz have appointed a new chair of trustees Alyson McGarrigle, and also express their gratitude to Michael Stevenson who left the board in January 2025.

Learning and Development of the Board of Trustees

The Board seeks to recruit new members in line with clearly defined needs for knowledge and experience. Trustees are inducted into the Trust’s work in meetings with the Chair of Trustees. A portfolio of policies is available. Trustees receive learning and development opportunities annually.

Internal Control: Board of Trustees

The Board is ultimately responsible for the Trust’s system of internal control and for reviewing its effectiveness. However, the Board recognises that any such system can only manage and not eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives. Also, it can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against any material misstatement or loss. This system of internal control is based on an ongoing process designed to identify and prioritise any risks to the achievement of Trust policies, aims and objectives and aspirations and to evaluate the likelihood and impact of such risks being realised. The Board then seeks to manage these efficiently, effectively and economically. These controls are designed to give reasonable assurance with respect to:

The Board considers that the directors, who are the trustees, and the Manager comprise the key management personnel of the charity. The Manager is in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the Trust on a day-to-day basis. All Trustees give freely of their time and none received remuneration in the period. Where there are any, details of Trustees’ expenses are disclosed in the notes to the accounts.

Risk Management

The Board has a risk register and a policy statement which includes specific detailing of the Board’s responsibilities. This includes an outline of key risks and a schedule and action plan for the carrying out of that responsibility. The policy and the workings of the register are formally reviewed by the Board each period. The Board recognises that risk can never be eliminated entirely and that there are aspects of work in which the Trust rightly has an appetite for risk. However, in its financial dealings and its promotion of its aims, the Trust continues to manage any inevitable risk robustly and effectively.

Consequently, the Board of Trustees is of the view that there is a formal ongoing process in place for identifying, evaluating and managing the Trust’s significant risks. This process has been in place and operational throughout the period. During the past period the key risks have been assessed and identified as:

  1. Safeguarding and safety of our both our service users and staff 2. Fundraising from trusts, grant-making bodies and individuals 3. Recruitment and retention of staff, particularly the manager

Page 12 of 24

Superkidz Community Trust (INCORPORATED) Limited by guarantee

Trustees’ Annual Report for the period ended 31 December2024 (continued)

Internal control

The Board of Trustees has delegated day to day responsibility for reviewing the adequacies of internal controls and for making any appropriate amendments to the Manager. They are thereby responsible for reporting to the Board any material weakness or breakdown in internal control which may arise.

The Manager acknowledges responsibility for ensuring that an effective system of internal control is maintained, operated and recorded by Superkidz Community Trust. The system provides reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, transactions authorised, properly recorded and material errors or irregularities are either prevented or would be detected within a timely period. This is based on a framework of regular management information, administrative procedures and a clear system of delegation and accountability. In particular, this system ensures that:

The Board has no reason to doubt that the financial information presented to them is accurate and timely, taking into account all known factors.

Fundraising statement

Section 162a of the Charities Act 2011 requires charities to make a statement regarding fundraising activities. Although we do not undertake widespread fundraising from the general public, the legislation defines fund raising as “soliciting or otherwise procuring money or other property for charitable purposes.” and such amounts receivable, are presented in our accounts as “voluntary income” and includes legacies and grants.

In relation to the above we confirm that all solicitations are managed internally, without involvement of commercial participators or professional fund-raisers, or third parties. The day-to-day management of all income generation is delegated to the Executive Committee, who are accountable to the Trustees.

The charity is not bound by any undertaking to be bound by any regulatory scheme and the charity does not consider it necessary to comply with any voluntary code of practice. We have received no complaints in relation to fundraising activities.

Financial Review Reserves policy

The Trust requires Reserves to ensure that a temporary interruption of income does not affect the delivery of Trust activities. In the worst case scenario, a lack of Reserves could result in the Trust being forced to close down its operations in entirety.

It is the Board’s intention to build reserves to maintain a level equivalent to 4 months operating costs. Longer term, reserves for six months will be sought by the Trust.

Reserves at the agreed level will be maintained by the following:

  1. Implementation of fundraising strategy to grant-making bodies

  2. Launching an emergency appeal if Reserves fall

  3. Transferring some Trust activities to another like-minded charity

  4. Exploring a full merger with another charity

Levels of Trust Reserves will be monitored every Board meeting and this policy will be reviewed annually. The reserves at 31 December 2024 are £13,462 (2023: £57,592), which equates to 0.7 months (2023: 3.1 months).

Going concern

The Trust continues to appraise its financial situation and to adapt its business model accordingly.

The Trustees have set guidance that the Trust should budget to meet all commitments and obligations to its players and other stakeholders. They have prepared these accounts on a going concern basis and are satisfied that there are sufficient cash reserves to cover operations.

Trustees’ Responsibilities

Each of the Trustees (directors) has confirmed that so far as they are aware, there is no relevant information of which the company's Independent Examiner is unaware, and that they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to become aware of any relevant information and to establish that the company's Independent Examiner is aware of that information.

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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.

1. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011, the Charities’ Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102) as amended by Update Bulletin 2) and Financial Reporting Standard 102 applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006. Superkidz Community Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The Trustees have prepared these accounts on a going concern basis. They have reviewed the budgets and forecasts forming the charity’s business plan for a period in excess of twelve months beyond the date of signing of the account. The Trustees consider therefore that they have reasonable assurance that the charity will continue to operate.

Funds

General funds represent the funds of the Company that are not subject to any restriction regarding their use and are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objectives of the charitable company.

Designated funds are funds set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for a particular purpose and carry no restrictions. Restricted funds consist of grants and bursaries which are subject to restrictions on their expenditure by the donor.

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charitable company is entitled to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. Grants and donations received as Restricted Funds, defined as those which carry an obligation to repay any sums not actually spent, are brought into the SOFA in the period of receipt and carried forward within Restricted Funds until either spent or refunded.

Deferred income

Where unconditional entitlement to grants receivable and fees paid in advance is dependent upon fulfilment of conditions within the Trust’s control, the incoming resources are recognised when there is sufficient evidence that conditions have been met. Where there is uncertainty as to whether the Trust has met such conditions, or the funder clearly states that the funding is for the next financial period, then the incoming resource is deferred. Subscriptions are recognised over the duration of membership, fees received in advance are accounted for in liabilities and released over the period of membership.

Expenditure

Expenditure is included in the accounts on an accruals basis.

Charitable activities

All costs are allocated between categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly or apportioned on an appropriate basis.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible fixed assets

All capital expenditure below £250 is written off as and when it is incurred. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets other than freehold land and buildings, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:

Fittings and equipment -

over 4 to 10 years

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Taxation

Superkidz Community Trust is a registered charity within the meaning of paragraph 1 of schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010. Accordingly it is exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains within categories covered by chapter 3 of Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. No tax charge arose in the period.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

In preparing these financial statements, the key judgements and estimates have been made in respect of the following:
