## **Chairperson Report** 

On behalf the board of trustees, I am pleased to submit the annual report for the year ending 3 p[t ] May 2022. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of our volunteers and trustees who have worked continuously to provide vital services to children and young people in Enfield, Haringey and other boroughs. Our aim was to reduce negative impact that drugs, gang-culture and crime have on young people. We helped many children and young people to live better, healthier, away from the harms caused by addiction, and antisocial behaviours. 

It is with great pleasure and honour for me to present this annual report. The White Star FC had a successful year despite our financial difficulties. I was pleased to see the significant difference that our sport activities have made to the disadvantaged children and young people. Our organisation continued to deliver its prime mission of improving their lives of many disadvantaged children and young people by providing football training, organise football tournaments, provide mentoring services and participate in the local leagues. 

The Association supported more than 250 children and young people. The projects have improved football skills, self-confidence, reduced isolation and social exclusion, improved health and wellbeing of children and young people. 

Our Association had a successful year, through the tremendous teamwork of the trustees, volunteers, community leaders, intellectual and professionals. I am encouraged by the positive feedback from members and guests who can readily see the changes we have made that have given the club a real lift in enthusiasm and confidence about the future. The trustees and volunteers have worked so hard and without the dedication of my fellow committee members, it would have been an impossible task. The club has many supporters, and their support enables us to provide football training and tournaments to children and young people from minority communities. 

On behalf of our members, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to our members and supporters who supported our organisation to overcome the financial difficulties we experienced. I'd also like to thank Haringey and Enfield Council for the great support, advice, guidance and the most useful information and training programmes they regularly provide to our organisation. 

I'd like to extend my thanks to the supporters that have helped us to work in this challenging environment that allows us to meet the needs of our members more effectively. I wish the board and the Association the success for the next year. 

The Report w s improved by the trustees on 13/06/2022 and signed on the behalf by 

Abdullahi Mohamed Chairperson

## **Achievement and Performance** 

## _**Charity Activities:**_ 

More than 250 children and young people take part in football training and tournaments. The sport project improved self-confidence, self-esteem, reduced isolation and offending behaviour, greater connections with school, stronger peer relationships, greater family attachment and more frequent interactions with parents, more restraint in avoiding risky behaviour and greater involvement in volunteer work. 

## Football training sessions: 

- Tuesday (17:00-19:00) Wednesday (17:00-19:00) - Thursday (17:00-19:00) Friday (17:00-19:00) Saturday (09:00 -17:00) Sunday {10:00 - 16:00) 

We provided enjoyable training sessions that improved children's social skills, confidence, health and wellbeing. Children really enjoyed the selection of training sessions which contributes to their healthy lifestyle. We provided a wide range of sport activities that helped children develop control of their bodies. We noticed during the sport activities children learned key values such as: honesty, teamwork, fair play and respect for one another. These highlighted the impact of the project on the children's social and moral development. 

The project supported more than 250 children aged 6-16 from African/Caribbean descent; most of whom live in disadvantaged areas of Enfield or Haringey. We provide these children and young people with access to fun and enjoyable sport activities that made them feel happy, less lonely, increased their self-confidence, wellbeing and transformed the lives of many children. 

We organised several football tournaments that are fun, sociable, enjoyable and engaged children to learn many skills and form friendships. The project provided enjoyable physical activities that enthused and inspired children to participate fully and develop a life-long love of sports. 

Our plan is to expand the Sports activities we are offering to the children to help more children and young people to achieve healthy and safe lifestyle outcomes. We will continue to provide this valuable project to reach more children and young people across Haringey, Enfield and neighbouring boroughs to offer them a wide range of sport activities and football tournaments to meet with friends and contribute to community life. We will ensure the sport activities will be available to all children from disadvantaged backgrounds by advertising it in local schools and neighbourhoods.
