## **Trustee’s Report and Accounts 2023** ## **Introduction** STORM Family Centre is a Domestic Violence charity that also has a focus on Youth Work and general wellbeing; the acronym S.T.O.R.M stands for: Support, Trust, Opportunity, Rebuilding and Motivation. Founded by Marie Hanson MBE in 2004, the vision was, and remains, to help people in need of support; particularly focusing on members of the local population within the black ethnic minority community as well as hard-to-engage groups. S.T.O.R.M is committed to addressing social issues such as sexual violence, sexual exploitation, domestic abuse, poverty, long-term unemployment, and youth crime. The charity works hard to provide empowerment and opportunities for people to gain education and build confidence and has an open-door policy for our service users which we know helps as it breaks down barriers.

Her Majesty took her time to have conversations with all the invited guests and of course in private conversation with STORM’s Domestic Violence Survivors or, as Marie prefers to call them, Superwomen! The visit was an important reminder of how many people in our communities are vulnerable and need warm, friendly and supportive centres like STORM. Gathering in the main room Her Majesty took part in some of the creative activities that the centre provides, including candle making, thanks to Lux Luz candle makers, art classes with Felicity Prazak, and STORM now has its very own royal painting, finished and signed by Her Majesty. Other activities included computer skills training, DJing and baking and cookery classes in the kitchen. A plaque was unveiled in honour of the Royal visit, to mark this momentous occasion and a cake was cut by Her Majesty and shared amongst all the guests. Wonderfully, Her Majesty took a special picture with Marie and her family (above right). _“A huge thank you to you for all you are doing for domestic abuse and these women being abused. I have been to a lot of centres all around the country, and I seldom come to one like this where there is so much going on to help the local community, helping these ladies._ _I have talked to quite a lot of them just now and heard their stories and they are all so indebted to the wonderful job you do - and I said before you need to be cloned._ _Thank you to everybody who has been part of Marie’s mission and her wonderful family, and I feel very privileged and honoured to come and visit you all today.”_ Her Majesty The Queen Consort, 9 Feb 2023 _-_ ## **US Ambassador Visit** On May 8[th] , we were very honoured to have a special visit from US Ambassador Jane D. Hartley. Ambassador Hartley joined us as part of The Big Help out 2023 and got to know more about STORM Family Centre and our work for the community. Ms. Hartley met members of the local community as she joined us for tea and also planted a tree in our roof garden. We were also joined by MP for Battersea Marsha De Cordova, Deputy leader of Wandsworth Council Kemi Akinola and the then Wandsworth Mayor Councillor Jeremy Ambache, who all joined Ambassador Hartley on planting trees too in our roof garden. We give our thanks to the **Doddington and Rollo Community Roof Garden** for their support with this visit and a special thanks to Nina von der Werth of Wandsworth Council for her tireless work in supporting STORM Family Centre and for her part in organizing this wonderful visit. ## **Peace Concert** Our thanks to everyone who sponsored, performed, spoke at, attended, helped organise, promoted, and supported our 17th Annual Peace Concert, in conjunction with Black History Month 2023. This Concert for the help, support and improving of young lives by inspiring them to stay away from negative lifestyles and crime was once again warmly received. With 2023’s event, we called on everyone to help support us with this initiative by providing their thoughts on how we all can help combat street crime together though positive ideas; and inspire our youth in future life choices. Thanks to our attendee’s ideas on the day; and please feel free to still add to them by getting in contact with STORM Family Centre. With this year’s event, as with every concert, we are sincerely and deeply grateful; it was a great occasion once again and thanks to all who made it possible - a special thank you to **Idris Elba** (right) as he partnered with us again through his **Don’t Stop Your Future’ (DSYF)** anti-violence initiative, and we also say thank you for his generous donation of his brand’s DSYF t-shirts and hoodies, _many thanks_ . Special thanks to **Enable Leisure and Culture** for their invaluable funding, and support for the concert and making this year’s event realised. Special thanks to Lauren Robbin of **Wagamama** , (one of our charity partners) who gave an impassioned talk about her life and career at the restaurant chain - to whom we also give a big thank you to. With our 17[th] Concert, we asked the community to share their ideas with us on how we can make life better for our young people, with suggestions on how we can support them in staying away from antisocial behaviour and negative lifestyles. We had a very good response and will be passing the ideas to the governement to continue working together as community bodies for our youths’ wellbeing. This concert is for all our youth everywhere, to let them know that there is a better way to live; a life that does not involve violence of any sort whether by knife, gun and even a physical attack. It seeks to bring youth together in peace and provide intervention for those on the periphery of criminality or those already involved in crime by showing them the avenues of positive living through talks, testimonials, interactive activities, and music.

## **Future plans** ## Our plans include: - Establishing a peer-mentoring service within our counselling provision for our clients; this will help with building a ‘buddy-counselling’ aspect to our work. The peer-mentors will be qualified individuals who have themselves survived domestic abuse; we believe that this will greatly help with encouragement and support - To still expand our training and employability partnerships so we can work more effectively in collaboration with local organisations, contributing to an even wider network within our borough and beyond to help those in need of career support - English and Maths classes from entry level to level 2 to continue helping community members with education prospects and more - To further expand on our youth work with more partnerships; local organisations that not only focus on recreation, but also rehabilitation and mentoring ## **Thank you** All this work has not been done on our own, and so it is with thanks to one and all mentioned in this report that we express our warmest gratitude _A very special Thank You once again to our Patron_ _**Sabrina Elba** , and also as always; thank you to our Ambassadors_ _**Will Poulter** and_ _**Chukwudi Iwuji** for all their amazing support throughout the year.
