## **KORI Trustees’ Annual Report FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** 

The trustees, who are the directors of the company for the purposes of company law, are pleased to present their report and financial statements together with the independent examiner’s report for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES** 

KORI Objectives: 

**Stronger Foundations for Youth** 

## **KORI Values** 

We believe that young people grow most positively when they have diverse opportunities to learn and understand the value of their own culture and place in the world, which in turn allows them to respect and value the place of others. 

## **Mission:** 

KORI's mission is to support as many young people as possible to enjoy, thrive and contribute to their worlds Over the last 2 decades we have engaged with over fifteen thousand young people with vulnerabilities in their backgrounds that potentially put their futures at risk. 

We serve young people from predominantly black, and minority ethnic communities in North London. 75 per cent of our leadership is from these same communities. We work to support those in vulnerable positions, including those struggling with and within education, training, or employment; those who are neuro-diverse, have left care or care for relatives, young parents, those from a refugee or migrant backgrounds; and those in adverse social-economic situations. 

We bring young people together supporting and networking them through our partnerships, mentors and work experience opportunities, building self- confidence, leadership qualities, cultural capital, skills and employment prospects.

## **Building a Stronger Organisation:** 

KORI was founded by community artists whose main concern was supporting young people to grow well beyond some of the disadvantages and stereotypes facing them in society. Our work has grown with intention this  year, Sagan Daniel, the new Programmes Director, from a corporate background, focused us on building new processes. Some of these were enabled by intensive work setting up a youth provision for YMCA central and North London: a new post code requiring effective recruitment and outreach. 

We also took a long hard look at the need for sustainability, how could we increase security for those that work with us, by building sustainability. This has been the work of this year; deepening our relationships and creating new ones. 

The young people we work with are impacted by: 

- Low access to services 

- Inter-generational trauma 

- Inequality in all its forms 

- Disproportionate equity 

- The post-pandemic legacy 

- Hyper (in) visibility 

- Low socio-economic backgrounds

## **KORI TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 


## **Looking Forwards** 

We have responded to the needs of young people for 22 years and whilst there is much to celebrate there is also much to reflect on. We began a process this year of looking closely at our three programmes and making important changes to clarify our offer. 

## **PROGRAMMES:** 

**Not My Label** Supports young people from the beginning of their referral into KORI. The underlying aim of the programme is to welcome young people into the charity and begin fostering in them a sense of comfort and belonging. In addition, their situation is comprehensively assessed by our youth workers to determine any needed interventions and to identify the young person’s interests and goals. Of high importance is building relationships with them, advocating on their behalf and enabling their building of relationships with other young people as they access services, activities, and KORI’s other programmes. 

## **Not My Label Provides:** 

- Youth centered assessments 

- Counselling access 

- Wellbeing training 

- Creative workshops and cultural activities 

- Celebrations/Talks/Exhibitions/ Self Care activities/ Fun 

- Residential - Nature Connection/ Confidence building activities 

- City Trips - Connecting with Young people from other cities 

- Opportunities for leadership and increased responsibility 

- Referral to Blooming Minds for career and education Pathways 

- Advocacy on behalf of the young people and their parents/carers with external bodies (e.g. social workers and colleges) 

## **Case Study for Not My Label:** 

_Last Christmas Tanya tried to commit suicide for the 4th time, she is 16 years old. Outwardly confident, she lives with her mother who struggles to leave the house, overcome with anxiety caused after a close friend molested Tanya when she was four. Tanya was referred when her mother reached out desperately for a way for her daughter to build new friendships and have some respite from home. We found out that despite being under ‘Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services’ (CAMHS), and recently attempting suicide again, she was not actually seeing a therapist. We referred her to ‘Improving Access to Psychological Therapies’ (IAPT) IAPS and followed up until she was in therapy. Our youth worker built a one-toone relationship with her, and we slowly brought her into a group to join on-going activities where her leadership skills are being nurtured. Now settled in college, she is a committed and articulate member of the girls’ group and is incredibly supportive of her peers. We were also able to refer her mother to our in-house counsellor._

## **KORI TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **1. Blooming Minds:** 

The focus of this programme is to ensure that young people in KORI are enabled to find pathways into meaningful careers that provide personal fulfilment. 

Our youth-centred entry assessment completed in Not My Label identifies a young person’s goals and readiness for the Blooming Minds programme. We then provide preparation and support, ensuring they access the pathways right for them in education, training, work experience, internships, apprenticeships, and placements. Bespoke industry mentoring and on-going guidance are also an essential part of enabling success. We have a growing group of diverse partners that believe in working with us to invest in young futures, including Mott Macdonald, Rinova, and Akamai Technology. We collaborate with our partnerships to create inclusive and accessible Industry Career labs and career clinics. 

## **Blooming Minds Provides** : 

- Industry Mentoring 

- Industry Career Labs 

- Career conversations 

- Career clinics 

- Work experience and training pathways 

## **Case Study for Blooming Minds:** 

_Ahmed arrived in the UK two years ago at the age of 14. Understanding little English, he was sent to a local college in Haringey for an ‘English for Speakers of Other Languages’ (ESOL) education. He was then referred to by a social worker to KORI. He joined the Not My Label programme and quickly began building his language and gaining experience in the country. He went on trips as part of a group to various parts of the country and had his first experience on a yacht. Most importantly, he worked with a youth worker who supported him during enrolment into a new college and continues to meet with him weekly. Ahmed is passionate about photography, and KORI has now matched him with an industry mentor who is a filmmaker and photographer._ 

## **2. The Vessel UK:** 

The Vessel UK has facilitated global learning for young people since 2004, connecting skilled young people from the UK, with peers in our partner organisations worldwide. Together, they engage in the creation and delivery of socially responsible and sustainable projects. This work enables participants to gain experience in international project delivery, develop a better understanding of their position in the world, and to examine their values through training, collaborative learning, and skillsharing. 

This programme has fostered active collaborations in Tanzania, Kenya, The Gambia, and Namibia. The initiative is funded through independent fundraising by young people, who work within their communities, organisations, and universities, or receive support from partnerships with companies or key actors, such as the Daneford Trust. 

## **The Vessel UK offers** : 

- Training from industry experts 

- Application of learning from education 

- Acquisition of new skills and knowledge 

- Project development and delivery learning 

- Leadership development 

- Global learning 

## **Case Studies for Vessel UK** 

_We have collaborated with UWE (University of West England) for four years. In 2021, seven postgraduate architecture students participated in Vessel UK training to prepare them for sharing skills with 12 Gambian architecture students from the Gambia Technical Training Institute (GTTI) remotely. This collaboration led to their joint investigation into reducing the current use of cement in the Gambian construction industry due to its environmental unsafety._ 

_Through this process, gaps in knowledge were identified, prompting the UWE students to create tailored training for the GTTI students, ensuring a crucial transfer of knowledge and skills._

## **KORI TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

_In 2018, eight young people who had come from a foster care background participated in a Vessel project from Islington Virtual School. The project aimed to boost their self-confidence and enhance their skills for better preparation for higher education and independence._ 

_As part of the training, they were each provided with industry mentors who supported them in transferring their interests into viable projects for delivery with an SOS Primary School in The Gambia. During the project they shared skills in: Applied Mathematics, Business, Sports development, and Healthy eating. During the delivery phase, they collaborated with Gambian youth leaders from the NGO Daughters of Africa. Upon their return, they shared their experiences through presentations and applied themselves to entering further educating and finding work opportunities with renewed passion._ 

## _Jamiah_ 

_Referred from one of our partnerships, Jamiah had only been in the country for five months. Placed in foster care and soon starting college, she needed sustained support and preparation. She felt that she needed someone who understood her journey as an unaccompanied refugee, someone who was able to assist her in understanding the new culture and building her confidence._ 

_The mentor began building their relationship through fortnightly meetings; they co-created a plan and over the months she listened to her experiences in college, supported her into a weekend job, helped her build an on-line   enterprise, they cooked together, and she helped her learn from the challenges as they came. This was an important journey for the mentor also, as she too had been a young refugee. In parting Jamiah expressed ‘I don’t know how these last few months would have been without you; your support was always there for me.’_ 

## **KORI has been a leader in mentoring young people for ten years and helped hundreds of young people.** 

At the heart of what we do is providing young people with a unique, creative, warm environment and the tools to reach their aspirations, enabled by our strategic partnerships. Through youth work and creative facilitation, we provide needed interventions, training, project engagement, bespoke mentoring, counselling, respite, and the opportunity to enrich networks. 

Partnerships have always been one of our strengths and our growing work with Mott Macdonald, Akamai Technology and Motive Production has increased our capacity financially and otherwise this year. Whilst, the Rank Foundation, Efficacy Eva, the Ubele initiative and Feedback Global continue to build our learning. Old partnerships like the one we have with Lifebeat and Global Generation; spanning our existence as an organisation, provide cross organisation support for young people. 

It has been exciting welcoming new trustees these year, Samuel Asante Reagan, Natalie Mitchell and Keith Asante. Also, Deasy Bamford sadly resigned this year as Chair and Demi Nurse took the role, (who has supported the service as a mentor, advisor and trustee for 11 years), became our new Chair. In all a real testimony to the service. 

As well as being thankful for our trustees our work would not be possible without the amazing donors and volunteers who support our work. We train Industry mentors from Mott Macdonald; we have youth and community placements from Goldsmiths  and  consistent international  interns from The Intern Group. The only direction is forwards.

## **KORI TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Summary** 

The Charity's income was £142,405 in the year ended 31 March 2024 compared to £86,638 in the year ended 31 March 2023. The total expenditure amounted to £113,210 in the year to 31 March 2024 compared to £63,650 in the year ended 31 March 2023. The fund balance carried forward at 31 March 2024 was £64,407 on general funds and £35,212 on restricted funds.  The full Statement of Financial Activities is set out in these accounts. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 

The Trustees are satisfied that all major risks have been identified and reviewed, and that systems are being established to mitigate those risks. 

The Trustees are continuing: 

- To review systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified. 

- The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact to the charity should those risks materialize. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The results for the year and financial position of the company are shown in the annexed financial statements. It is the intention of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds to sufficiently cover administration and support costs and to enable the Charity to respond to other necessary expenditure, which may arise from time to time - by the end of financial year 2023-22, KORI desired level of reserves is to have 3 months of running costs, increasing to six months for the financial year following. The actual reserve at the year-end is lower than the desired level and the Trustees are considering ways to increase the reserves. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Going forward we will be developing our work to suit the needs of young people post pandemic. 

- We will continue to build our corporate partnerships to diversify income 

- Continuing to develop finance learning and fundraising integration in the organisation and though our audience. 

- We will build on the work of the Vessel UK through new partnerships 

- Continue to build the archiving of KORI’s history towards a 25-year celebration

## **KORI Trustees’ Annual Report FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **Appointment of trustees** 

As set out in the Articles of Association the members of the charity elect the Trustees.

## **KORI Trustees’ Annual Report FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of KORI for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 


The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **APPROVAL** 

This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, was approved by the trustees on 30[th] of December 2024 and signed on their behalf by: 

**Demitrius Nurse** - Chair

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of KORI** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on below. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”) or under Regulation (10) (1) (a)-(c) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) (“the 2006 Regulations”) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act and under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”); 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination is carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission and Regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter came to my attention: - 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of KORI as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination: or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. 

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the statement of financial activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. floor area or estimated usage, as set out in Notes 3 and 4. 

## **Tangible fixed assets and** 

## **deprecation** 

Assets with a cost of less than £1,000 are expensed. Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated so as to write down to estimated residual value the cost of all other tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives as follows: 

|Motor vehicles:|25% reducingbalance|
|---|---|
|Other equipment:|25% reducingbalance|



## **Pensions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the statement of financial activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the schemes.
