Annual Report of the Trustees History and Backgmund Reaching Higher was founded in May 2010 as an independent youth chanty by Mark & Sherise Hobbs with the support of volutrteers from the local church. tt was birthed as a response to the Ghallenges facing young peo￿ in the communty of Croydon and the surrounding Boroughs.

Goals & Summary of Activty Reaching Higherfs goals are set out in tis goveming d￿ument,. these underpin the operational mission statement to "challenge young people to be leaders of their own lives." This reflects a desire. not only to offer a posittve short term impad Lmjt to take a longtbjdinal approath encouraging strong relationships to ￿ fomed between both our team and young Feople and young people themselves to best enhan￿ their life chances through adOle￿nCe and beyond. Reaching Higher operates through a variety of activibes aimed at empowering young people such as youth dubs and sthemes some with specific interest grou￿ suth as sports, creative and performing arts and always with a focus on mentoring, skills development in a fun and supportive environment. Reaching Higher places a particular emtthasis on empowering yourvJ tEople to step up. to take respon5ibilty within a safe setting and to work together in teams breaking down territorial barriers and developing community cohesion. Rèleasing Young People & Developing Leaders Central to the core of ￿ vision of Reaching HbJher is to identify and supwrt the great potent￿1 in young people. It is with this in mind that Reaching Higher ts particularly commttted to giving young people opportunities to lead and to develop life skills which will enable and equip them to take opportunibes, to develop as leaders both of their own lives and in the wider communty. Our projects are all shak￿d upon this principle wtrthr a football transferable skElls project, a perfomiing arts group or a workshop on emtAoyabilrty. Leadership is a thread that flows through all our projects as wdl as beir¥J ￿ntral to ￿r ￿nMUnty leadership programmes Foretunners (age 1 &15) and Leaders in Training (LITI (age 16-19). These leadership programmes worked wtlh over 60 young people in our sessions which operated weekly during the year and we were able to partner wFlh the GL41London YoLrth Headstart programme for part of the year. This support gives young peop￿ the opportunty to develop leadership and teamwork skills as they make the transition from t￿efiCIary to volunteer under the guida￿ of our experienced team. Developing a Partnership Approxh to Youth Provision Duting the year we have made signifiont strides in deVelo￿ng our relationships with other like-minded organisations. We have been able to erMJage in supwrting new communty groups and schoob during the year. In parts'cular y￿rkIng with Reedham's Children Trust and School Home Support in our sch¢)ol delivery model has led to the birthing of our Athieving More PrcJramme. This programme seeks to support disadvantaged thildren from primary through to secondary. Reaching Higher delivering the secondary school element and working dosety with SHS a￿1 Reedham lo look at transition planning. Partnering with schools has been a signfficant focus and it has been fantastic to develop ￿r existing partnerships with Oasis schools as well as Shirley High School as well as to build relationships with local primary schools. Vle are excrted for the potential of collaborating more as an organisation as we move foThvard with communty organisation5 and churches with whom we have forged strong relationships

REACHING HIGHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 We have also developed new partnerships with funder5 suth as Henry Smith and the City Bridge Trust as well as continuing to work very dosely with London Youth.

These relationships have all helFEd to supwt Reaching Higher arK continue its growth so that we are in a positi.on to make a svJnifi￿nI p0S￿Ve contrikxrtion to the work which is so greatly needed. Major Activities in 2020 For us. along with so many organisations. there were two key events which particutarly dominated 2020. The Covid pandemic and ts PLJblic outcry assoaated with the murder of George Floyd. Covid Response: Aspiration > Isolation Qur response to covid was swrft and effective. We moved all our tYoie(s online in March creating an 'Aspiration>lsolation" our aspirations will win oui over our isolation. This involved delivering group leadership sessions. sports tutorials. computer game corrtexts, dance arKI drama workshops, one to one mentoring online. We even created a youth led weekly news round up for young people on Instagram giving their take on what's going on and the latest govemmerrt advi￿ and news distilled down into youth friendly language. Physically we gave out food packages and offered dropin supwrt and small group sessions as regulations allowed during the summer of 2020. We did not furfough any staff in this time and this meant our core team worktng extra hard under significant pressure. We are hugely grateful to the team for their unwavering commtiment at such a time as this. Georye Floyd Response- How We Got Here The tragic death of George Floyd lil a fire around the world and Ét struck a deep chord at the heart of our organisation. This was a deeply difficutt time for us as a black majority team and for the young people and families we support. F¢X the RH family, it wasny just about the moment, bul tt was the recognition of the racial Injusti￿ so many of us fa￿ daily and the need for collecttve understanding, ownership and action. This process has brought ￿[Sed trauma to the surfa￿. It has been incredibly painful but wilh it there has been glimmer5 of hoFe that things can and will improve for the generations that follow. We must as a collective society enS￿e this aThJ our restKJnse in the aftemiath of this was to develop a programme called H¢JW We Got Here sp￿IficallY targeted at explaining and understsnding the history of black people in British history both pre and post slavery. Wrth our dedicated volunteer and former benefiuary. Joshua Garry. a course was run over 5 weeks teaching on this topic online. Joshua is a History teacher with a specialism in Black British History. Interest forthe course was almost ovefwhelming and there were over 500 people s￿ned up to the course and it spread throughout the wider communty. Vthh the support of publishers we gave away over 400 free books on black history to families. The feedbad( ofthe course was immense from Feople of all colours (and ages) who were able to reflect and better appreciate the joumey of black people. School Provrsion We continued to offer delivery and educational packs to young people throughout 2020. We delivered online sessions to children as V￿11 as face to V￿rk shops in ffts and starts where rules allowed. Despite the challenges and uncertainty month to rnonth of what we could deltver, we are really pleased to have delivered so many sessions. And moreover that as we exit 2020 we have four strong secondary partners as well as interest fr¢Jm other se(mJary schools arxl fwr primary schools ready for partnership delivery to support transition in 2021.
