Bul one thing has remained constant- the world continues to be reshaped by young people. Llke the world around us, the organisation has also Changed a lol starling as SPW (Stud8nts Partnership Worldwide) beFore rebranfling. We have been intentional about shifting power- Hubs are now loeally registered and gov8rned: united by a shared vision of a world where young people lead chang8. At Aeslless Oevelopmenl. we have always been tenacious and audacious when il comes to youlh-led change. Now. with 40 years of experience, we have demonstrated the impact of young people notjusl on their own lives, but on some ol soci8ty's greal8St challenges. For a world where young people can leail change we need a thriving youth civil society. That's why Aestless Development shirts power and resources lo youth-led groups and organisalions - especially those leading the way In some ol the most rorgotlen communities- providing support, opportunities and conneclions: supercharging youlh-led change for a better world. Our programmes remain youlh-led. be it responding lo successive health crises Ilrom HIV/AlOS to Ebola to Covid-19), generating income, or holding decision-makers to account. The longevity ol youth-led change speaks lor itselr. Alex Kent and Kale Muhwezi This year we had thejoy ol celebrating four decades of Restless Development and a landmark milestone.. having reached10 rnillion young people. 10 million young people reached. over 40 years RESTLESS DEVELOPMENT ANMIJALIIEPORT2020 Celebrating 40 Years I still rernember waking up on my first morning in Mudzi District. heat already rising. miles from anywhere, and a world away Irom thè Sullolk I'd grown up in. I can still hear the national anthem being sung. and I can still taste the paraffin in the rood from cooking over a paraffin slov8.1 was there to leach. fresh out of a scarily scafil training programme with Restless Development Ilhen SPW}. and I knew. instantly. I wasn't ready.11 was, and remains, one ol the most transformative moments of my life. These experiences slay with me. 34 years on. They've made me SCBplical of neat answers designed in a capltal city. and more determineti to listen first. especially when officials an(i outsiders arrive in rural communities with a plan already wr¢tlen. Mudzi taught me to ask belter que51ions.' who is being heard. who is being missed. and who holds the pen. That is why I'm so convinced by Restless. model- young people aren'tjust consulted. they lead. What Restless Oevelopment believed then matters even MO￿ today. In the early 1990s we were confronting the devastation ol HIV and AIDS and starting lo take sustainable development seriously after Rio de Janeiro's Earth Summit. We thought the slakes were high then. They still are. Oay after day I learnt things about mysell. anLI about the world, that simply hadn't featured in my middle-class upbringing. They have featured ever since and shapel every corner ol my career.11 wasn't so much that I 'grew up" during that lime: it was that I started to see the world differently. I saw injustic¢ up close.15aw what it means lo live on the edge of subsistence. with precious little room lor bad luck. And I saw my own privilege. clearly. and uncomlortably. l also saw what becomes possible when you tru51 young people lo slep up. Later, having dropped out of university. frustrated by the abstract nature of my degree, I went to see Jim Cogan. Reslles5' founder. Jim. led up with the nascent aid bureaucracy. agreed immediately-.you should gel out there and Fix it.. Bul the pres#ures facing young people now are broader, faster-moving. and harder lo ignore. And yet loo many of vs in the oldèr generation lall back on platitudes. Of course 'young people are the lulure- but if they reluse to hand over decisions. budgets and voice. they will remain dependent on what we think is best, and invariably. we will gel it wrong. Restless Development has always backed a dillerent approach. When no organisalion would consider a young person unless you had a Master's or decades ol frontline experience, Jim trusted us. because we were young and unqualified. because he trusted us lo bring new itleas and approaches lo the challenges of the day. In turn. we discovered what happens when you're trusted with real responsibility. It was exhilarating. It was daunting. And il laught me a lesson I've carried ever since: if you want young people lo lead, you have lo let go. Pete Vowles BritishAmbassador to Zimbabwe first went to Zimbabwe AS a young volunteer with Restless Oevelopment more than 30 years ago. Pete hosting the 40th Anniversary celebrations in Zimbabwe Belore l joined Restless Development. l assumed participation would look a certain way. I thought I would be a pair of hands. there to carry out someone else's plan and meet set largels. l expected to be involved. bul with liLlle real ownership. The work would be handed to me. bul I would have no parl in shaping it or any say in how il was conceived. At that stage. participation meant helping, not leading. The real shift came during a training on youth-led research al Restless Development. where I realised I was not there simply lo support the process. but to contribute lo how the research was designed and carried out. SG Now. I vlew participation as ownership ol Ideas. processes, and change. 99 Today. I see the ripple ellects of that Irusl. I have moved Irom those initial training rooms into deci5ion-rnaking spaces, carrying the lived experiences ol young people into discussions that shape real-world outcomes. In those moments, l am no longer just a volunteer cofflpleling a task, l am an architect of evidence. This is the philosophy al work. ensuring that ollen-unheard voices are carriel into *Jecision-making spaces. My journey is proof Inal when young people are given that Irusl. they do not just learn.. they lead with purpose and a deep sense of responsibilily."Youlh Power" is more than parlicipalion,. il is ownership. When young people are trusted lo contribute '.0 the systems they are part ot, the solutions become more meaninglul. more relevant. and more lasting. Zvikomhorero Nv•miiryur6 Youth Researcher.

RESTLfSSDEVELOPMENT ANIIUALREPQRT2025 38 RESERVES POLICY * Hesllèss Development has a reserves policy which is regularly reviewed by Trustees against the current risks laced by the organisalion. Restless Development adopts an approach that provides a benchmark against which Trustees assess the &Jequacy of unrestricted reserves. This apprDach aligns the unreslricled reserves benchmark closely with the risks the organisalion has i(ienliCied on the Risk Aegisler by going through an exercise lo cost the potential impact ol the risks cryslallising in order lo calculate unrestricted reserves benchmark. The organisalion's reserves continue to be closely monitored with the ambition of rebuilding them incrementally, with a target lor 25126 of £50.000 contribution lo reserves.The tluarler2relorecaslposilion reflected thalmo￿ than 50% of Ihishas already been secured. and the strong performance ol the triathlon series is sel lo ensure the lull target lor 2025126 is mel. The benchmark used by Iruslees takes the averdge ol three approaches. The first approach quantifies the risks and sums all ol the risks that have a probable likelihood of occutring. The second approach lakes the total of the iwo most expensive risks and the third approach uses a weighted av8rage based on the likelihood and probability lor 8ach of the six risks on the risk register. Based on the Risk Flegisler as at Aprll 2026 the benchmark lor Free Reserves is £628.92812023124.. £661.941). At 30 September 2025, Aeslless Development had lolal funds 01 £2,651,000.
