TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 30th JUNE 2023 The trustees, who are also Directors for the purposes of the Companies Act, have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th June 2023. LEGAL STATUS: Harmony Youth Project is a registered charity (number 1129290) incorporated under. The Companies Act 2006 as a charity limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. OBJECTIVES OF HARMONY YOUTH PROJECT: To assist young people, especially those who are disadvantaged in the borough of Bolton and the surrounding areas in realising their true potential through the medium of creative of arts and sports. ORGANISATION: The Management Board comprises of six elected members. A copy of the full report can be obtained from the Company Secretary at the registered office. TRUSTEE'S RESPONSIBILITIES: Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the year and of the incoming and outgoing recourses for the year then ended. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies and them consistently, making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. The trustees must also prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees 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. The trustees who served the charity during the period were as follows: John Hynes Brett Pemberton Saleem Atcha Leah Elcock Ian Read Rachel Crowe Chairman’s Report 27/03/2024 Harmony has had a remarkable fiscal year 2022-23, with substantial accomplishments and a better financial outlook than the previous year. Funders' feedback shows an increase in funding proposals, resulting in a careful selection procedure that favours exceptional initiatives or allocates limited funds, frequently to specific regions. Despite the competitive landscape, Harmony has distinguished itself by receiving financing from a variety of organisations throughout the year, demonstrating the quality of our initiatives and our dedication to providing a first class service. Our devoted volunteer staff continues to thrive in a variety of fields, including Youth Counselling, Photography, Videography, Music Production, Artistry and food support to local families, while efficiently handling day-to-day operations including administration, finance, and project management. Harmony has stayed at the heart of our community since its inception in 2001, thanks to a strong network that includes Bolton Council, Bolton CVS, Bolton Youth Offenders Team, Bolton Jobcentre, Greater Manchester Constabulary, Clarion Futures, and a variety of local businesses. Harmony has expanded its community outreach by providing crucial food parcels and clothing to those in need, as well as presenting meaningful educational programmes throughout Bolton, thanks to funding from Bolton Council, Clarion Housing, and the JD Foundation. Internally, we continue to welcome and support young people experiencing varied issues by providing a nonjudgmental environment and a wide choice of activities such as access to free counselling services and after school clubs. As we move ahead, Harmony emphasises its commitment to providing high-quality services, protecting its reputation, and functioning as a critical hub for the Bolton community. With resilience and dedication, we will maintain our high standards of excellence and remain a reliable ally for people in need. Mr John Hynes (Chairman of Harmony youth project). ## Harmony Youth Project Annual Report 2022-23 Harmony Youth Project remains steadfast in its mission to furnish a secure and nurturing space wherein young people can foster their creativity, talents, and essential life skills. Through a diverse array of programs, we strive to embolden both children and their families, fostering self-assured, adept, and conscientious individuals poised to effect positive change within their communities. Our initiatives encompass Easterzone, Summerzone, Winterzone, Warm Spaces, Open Access, Food Bank, Mental Health Photography Project, Windrush 75[th] anniversary and Recording Studio. Throughout 2022-23, our commitment to delivering charitable endeavours centred on the well-being and advancement of young people persisted unwavering. These endeavour’s encompassed initiatives targeting anti-bullying, provision of fundamental necessities, mental health support, and training in employability skills. The efficacy of these charitable pursuits was evaluated through surveys, feedback mechanisms, and individual progress assessments, revealing tangible enhancements in participants' well-being, self-assurance, and skill acquisition. ## Food Bank: The Food Bank initiative saw remarkable success throughout 2023, providing vital food parcels to individuals in need across the borough. This achievement was made possible through collaboration with specialised local agencies, the generous contributions of food donors, a partnership with Neighbourly and the dedication of numerous volunteers. The project extends support to families and individuals struggling due to various factors such as redundancy, illness, mental health challenges, financial difficulties, and homelessness. ## Warm Spaces: Our Warm Spaces initiative is tailored to furnish a secure and supportive environment for vulnerable individuals. Offering nutritious snacks and beverages ensures that those from low-income backgrounds have sustenance, which may be their sole source of nourishment. ## Easterzone: Easterzone 2023 emerged as a resounding success, drawing the participation of over 30 young individuals daily in an array of activities spanning arts and crafts, music, drama, and sports. Positive feedback from parents and caregivers attested to the programme's high quality and its favourable impact on participants. ## Summerzone: Summerzone 2023 witnessed a similar triumph, with more than 50 young people daily engaging in an assortment of activities, including excursions to theme parks, outdoor pursuits, and creative workshops. Moreover, participants were afforded opportunities to hone skills such as public speaking, leadership, and teamwork. ## Winterzone: Winterzone 2023, a recent addition to our roster, met with enthusiastic participation, attracting over 35 children daily. The program offered various activities, including creative workshops enabling participants to fashion their own Christmas decorations. ## Our Open Access: Our Open Access initiative remained steadfast in providing a secure and supportive place for young people to socialise, unwind, and take part in diverse activities. Offerings such as board games, table tennis, and video games were supplemented with nutritious snacks and beverages to sustain energetic engagement. ## Mental Health Photography Project: The introduction of the Mental Health Photography Project proved highly successful, offering youths a platform to express themselves through photography while fostering awareness of mental health and well-being. The culmination of their efforts was showcased in a local gallery exhibition. ## Windrush 75[th] Anniversary: In February we were funded by ‘awards for all’ to run a special project for the Windrush 75[th] anniversary. This project saw over 50 children take part in educational workshops, craft sessions and a celebration event to honour the merging of the Windrush generation with British culture. The exhibition showcasing their works was displayed in our centre throughout the year. These charitable endeavour’s culminated in tangible positive outcomes, bolstering the wellbeing, self-assurance, and skill set development of young participants and their families. We remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting the youth of Bolton and eagerly anticipate furthering our endeavours in the ensuing years. ## Conclusion: In summary, 202-23 stands as a remarkable year for Harmony Youth Project, wherein we provided young people and their families with a diverse array of programs fostering wellbeing, creativity, talent, and vital life skills. Positive feedback from participants, parents, and caregivers underscores the quality and impact of our initiatives, motivating us to continue nurturing opportunities for youth advancement in the future.
