Against a backdrop of rising costs, social tensions, and systems under strain, our young people did not lose their footing. Nowhere was this more evident than in the response to the violence that erupted in Southport. For some of the young people we serve―those already living with trauma, marginalisation, or instability― the impact was profound. But what followed was a powerful reminder of their capacity not only to endure hardship, but to reshape it. In the days that followed, a small group of teens quietly launched a “Kindness Campaign.” It began with handwritten notes and care bags . It grew into kindness booths in local parks, offering free hot chocolate and voluntaeering. There was no script, Just a shared sense that love, empathy, and solidarity could push back against the fear. The Million Hours Fund, supported by the National Lottery and DCMS, gave us the capacity to nurture this spark into something lasting. It enabled us to build up our youth support in a more dimensional way ―strengthening emotional security, relationship skills, transferable competencies, and mood regulation. We strengthened youth governance―moving beyond symbolic roles and into real co-creation. Young people now contribute meaningfully to strategy, operations, and delivery. We began shaping our ESG strategy―a youth-led approach to environmental, social, and governance goals that avoids vague promises and centres on practical, grassroots solutions. From expanding SuperEats―which rescued over 40 tonnes of food―to reducing internal waste and integrating environmental themes into leadership training, sustainability has become tangible. Too often, the systems that surround our young people carry a veneer of inclusion. They speak the language of equality and participation―inviting young people to the table, asking for their views―but behind the scenes, the agendas are already decided. Our young people can feel it. They know when their involvement is performative. They know when their lived experience is reduced to a quote for a report, not a basis for real change. This disconnect isn’t just frustrating―it’s damaging. It reinforces the very inequalities those systems claim to tackle. We hear this from young people all the time: “You want my story, but not my input.” “You want me to share, but not to shape.” We must do better. At Young & Inspired, we are working to shift this balance. We are investing in pathways for young people to move from participants to co-creators. We are building systems where youth leadership is real―not just a seat on a board, but power to influence decisions, direct resources, and define success As ever, our young people lead the way. They show us what’s possible―not just when they’re supported, but when they are trusted. When their leadership is honoured, not borrowed. Kaila Klein Chair of Trustees fh 7 i ~e a 6 OUR MISSION CHILDHOOD BELONGS TO ALL CHILDREN. NO CHILD SHOULD BE FORCED TO GROW OLD PREMATURELY. TOGETHER WE ENSURE THAT ALL CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE A CHILDHOOD WHICH EMPOWERS THEM TO GROW UP NOT OLD. OUR VISION EVERY CHILD SHOULD ASPIRE TO ACHIEVE BUT NO CHILD SHOULD TAKE THE TEST OF HUNGER, EXLUSION OR ISOLATION. 8 9 ## We have 2 pathways of support Our core clients are usually families with complex needs. They use the pathway depicted below. Oneoff clients, usually children joining without parents, join one or two short-term services. These are seasonal services, such as 6 months of treehouse teens and playscheme. They join to address a short or acute need. aea ae aa : 7 7 aN \ , 7 SS yo . \ / ) . , 3 **/** 1 \q/ = / **Mixture of family support,** | **Meet with the family to which may include** O **agree what they want signposting, benefit to achieve. advice, and services such as meals through** 4 2 **supereats and breakfast club, savvy and successful Family meets with the employability Evaluation team to see** | **Family is assigned a family if they reached their** - **support worker and work** 11 10 ## MEASURING TOOL **Our Family Star measuring tool, part of the Outcome Star framework, is completed collaboratively by families and their support workers to assess changes across seven aspects of family life:** **----- Start of picture text -----**

**Communication and Conflict Resolution within the Family** Measuring our impact is straightforward for some families. This is the case for those seeking support for specific outcomes, like providing breakfast for two preschoolers. However, for others, the issues are complex and multi-layered. For them, quantifying progress may be harder. In these cases, our support workers build strong relationships with clients over weeks or months. These relationships enable us to recognize change. **“I’m calling to let you know that you can take our name off the SuperEats regular list. We’ve enjoyed over 60 meals from you this year, and I’m excited to share that I got promoted! With this new opportunity, I’ll be able to afford our meals, and I’m sure others need it more than we do. Thank you tons for the meals! And I’m not even mentioning how Ruchy, my support worker, and my work coach guided me to present my request to my employer. I can’t believe we’re up to here.” Adela W** 12 13 ## GOAL EMPOWER YOUNG PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN TO BREAK FREE FROM THE CYCLE OF POVERTY ## THEORY OF CHANGE **Safe and satisfied** ## LONG TERM OUTCOMES ## SHORT TERM OUTCOMES **----- Start of picture text -----**

15 14 ## Sunshine Breakfast Club: **The Sunshine Breakfast Club offers daily brunch for toddlers and preschoolers accompanied by their parents, as well as holiday brunch for children of all ages.** We serve classic favorites such as toast, eggs, colorful veggies, a variety of cereals, and fun yogurts for birthday kids. “While being served omelettes is a delight in itself, here, a volunteer goes the extra mile to cook them into heart shapes, perfectly nestled in the center of the toast. My toddler is enamoured and so am I. Its hard not to feel touched and loved here.” T.E “As a mother, I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I never let my children leave without it. However, as the end of the month approaches, I often have to add water to the milk and occasionally skip my own breakfast. I am so relieved that my children start their school day with a full, nutritious breakfast at the Sunshine Breakfast Club. Additionally, a volunteer accompanies them down the road to their schools. It may be a coincidence, but both of their grades have improved since we joined the club.” Bella, **THIS YEAR WE SERVED OVER 12000 BREAKFATS.** 17 16 ## SAVVY AND SUCCESSFUL **At Savvy and Successful, we take pride in our innovative approach that challenges traditional employment pathway programs.** We recognize that existing services have not effectively met the needs of our beneficiaries. Instead of offering a predefined pathway, we employ a backto-front approach that empowers participants with agency. This allows them to take control of their journey and develop transferable skills that can lead to employment in ways that best suit them and their families. This approach enables them to drive the change their family needs, adjust pathways as their needs evolve, or even take a unique, untrodden route if it helps them stay and succeed at work. Our commitment goes beyond the norm by providing specialized support, such as negotiating work-from-home arrangements, flexible work hours, conflict resolution, advocating for living wage payments, and offering prepaid cards for bus fares to assist those with longer commutes and low incomes. Additionally, we offer paid childcare bursaries to support parents during upskilling initiatives. **What truly distinguishes us is our Trade Secrets Soft and Transferable Skills Program. Unlike generic workshops, our program explores unique areas, identifying genuine barriers and facilitating the acquisition of practical, attainable skills.** **16 23% 21 12 people found people improved participants of local jobs for first work conditions or engaged employers time in further pay employing training locally** 19 18 ## sUperEATS **SuperEATS is on a mission to make eating effortless for everyone. Inspired by Uber Eats, SuperEats rescues surplus food from events, caterers, and restaurants.** We repackage it in compartmentalized meal containers at a regulated kitchen facility. These meals are labeled and frozen for later delivery, supplemented by milk, fruits, vegetables, and other perishables. SuperEats aims to assist teenage mothers who can’t afford basic food necessities, especially during times of cost spikes, as well as families living hand-to-mouth, reaching the last week of the month with empty pockets. It’s a win-win situation for young recipients, catering businesses, and the environment. “We have been struggling with money in our family for months now and we were not able to afford even the basics, but receiving charity was too degrading. With the costof-living crisis looming over our heads; it was not a question of Eat or Heat. We had none. Resignedly we agreed to a referral. Being a part of SuperEats was life-changing. Their meals are delicious, free and delivered right to our doorsteps. The best part was that Young & lnspired n thanked us for saving the planet and avoiding good food from going to waste. lt made us feel a whole lot better. I cannot thank you enough.” Chana Greenwald 22 21 20 ## Friendly Food Factory You’ll be welcomed by salmon patties and eggplant roll-ups sizzling on the griddles. The aroma of garlic bread, made from yesterday’s bakery loaves, mingles enticingly with the rich, decadent scent of Moroccan tomato soup simmering from overripe tomatoes that the co-op couldn’t sell but are too good to waste. The creamy, velvety soup, even richer than fresh tomatoes, fills the space with its comforting fragrance. This is the Friendly Food Factory. Champion funded by Garfield Weston Foundation . Our primary goal is to ensure every young person knows where their next meal will come from, appreciates the earth that provides their food, and gains independence around food and beyond as they transition into adulthood. Through practical sessions, participants learn to cook, plan meals, reduce waste, and understand how food connects with wellbeing, identity, and sustainability. We use food to bring young people together, celebrate difference, and build real-world skills that increase confidence and capability. Over 2000 meals were prepared this year at The Friendly Food Factory.18 young parents got employed in food/catering sector after being involved at Friendly Food. We saved over 16 tonnes of food and helped 35 teenage/young parents access a fully equipped kitchen with food storage to prepare meals for their familues. Simultaneously, we generate income through shared sublets for seasonal caterers, a restaurant that employs young adults, exclusive food-art experiences, and corporate team-building workshops. Catering for events and meetings further strengthens our financial sustainability. **----- Start of picture text -----**

**18 Young Parents employed** 23 22 Byte-Size Digital Literacy Project Champion-funded by the Access Foundation The Byte-Size Digital Literacy Project supports teenage parents and young women who are out of work or education and shut out of everyday digital life. Some have never used email. Others rely on borrowed phones or public Wi-Fi just to fill out a form. Without digital skills, they can’t access online courses, apply for jobs, or manage basic tasks like banking or booking appointments. > everyday digital life. Some have never used email.

Forty participants are receiving training in Microsoft practice on, and I finally understand how Office (Levels 2, 3, and 4), along with personalised support to build to use Word and Excel. It’s not just about confidence and keep going. Each person can borrow a laptop from our learning skills—it’s about feeling like I can device library and receives Wi-Fi credit if needed—so no one is left do things on my own. For the first time, I behind because they can’t afford a connection. feel in control of my future.'' Hana, ByteSize Digital Literacy Project participant Sessions are small, calm, and flexible—because many participants are also managing young children, mental health challenges, or unstable housing. We check in regularly and adapt the pace to make sure they don’t drop out or fall through the cracks. The project gives people something concrete: a skillset they can build on, and a bit more control over their lives. Early feedback has been powerful—participants say they feel more independent, less anxious, and better able to face the future. **40 Young Participants** 24 25 ## Move it Mum **Move it Mum and Infants offers teenage and young mothers a blend of enjoyable and consistent exercise activities that involve their little ones, helping to reduce childcare expenses and fostering quality bonding time.** Whether it’s Pilates, yoga, netball, or Zumba, there’s an activity for everyone. Fitness isn’t just beneficial for physical health; it also supports emotional well-being and serves as a fantastic icebreaker bring people together. **Some mothers are so entrenched in the pressures and demands on them that they cannot believe the magic that happens when they lift their feet off the ground.** 26 **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Treehouse Teens **Treehouse Teens offers a unique vantage point—an intimate birdseye view of self-discovery for teens who struggle through the system. Far from societal expectations, it becomes a space where teens process thoughts and emotions without judgment or stress.** Teens gather three evenings a week, as well as during half terms and school holidays, in a safe and friendly environment. Here, they connect with peers who share similar experiences and engage in a range of lively and creative group activities designed to nurture their existing interests and explore new ones, especially outdoors and help them with emotional regulation,self-awareness and relationship skills with targeted DBT informed group approach. Though based in Hackney, an inner city, in our Treehouse, it feels as though we are remote in a rural setting. The rush of cars below the window seems distant, pressures fade away, climate change feels within our control, and opportunities abound wherever we look. **Half-term and holiday sessions are solely naturebased. Some people call it adventure therapy, but we simply call it the great outdoors—casual hiking, scavenger hunts, beach trips, stand-up paddleboarding, rafting, fishing, orienteering, pewter and nature crafting, and park clean-ups** 28 **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Flying Colors Flying Colors Art Depot creates a safe space where art becomes an integral part of children`s lives, particularly for those facingmulti-barriers. We believe all youth are curious, imaginative, creative,innovative. We used mixed modality Art as a tool to help troubled primary school aged children emerge from feeling stuck and confined to experiencing a landscape ofopportunities and successes with an element of art therapy. I excelled in algebra and devoured my sister’s college textbooks long before my classmates tackled their GCSEs. I was prepared to face my A-levels early, thanks to my intellectual prowess. Yet, amidst these academic achievements, there was one subject that completely confounded me: relationships. Emotions and social cues became a puzzle I couldn’t solve, leaving me feeling lost and isolated. It was bewildering—I felt like everyone else had a manual for navigating relationships, while I stumbled in the dark. I'm an academic not artistic kid, but the school therapist urged me to try Flying Colors Art Depot. At first i felt like an imposter, I don't do sticky, glitzy, colorful - I found myself experimenting with artistic styles that meant nothing to anyone but took the stress out of me. I also enjoyed DBT principals we chatted about and made my best friends there 30 31 ## Equality Statement Young and Inspired is dedicated to providing every child with an equitable, healthier, and happier start to life. We believe in challenging our own equality measures to ensure that our services meet the diverse needs of our community. As a BAME-led charity specializing in Charedi Jewish needs, we recognize the importance of filling gaps in service provision for our community. We understand that separate gender, multilingual options, special dietary provisions, and other methods are not exclusive benefits to the Jewish community and could greatly benefit others who are excluded from mainstream services. We have expanded our service user profile and actively strive to make our services accessible to other people on the fringes of communities who share our needs. We also make concerted efforts to reach children and families who may not be known to other services or who have historically been isolated. Our “Fitting In and Standing Out” campaign has been a tremendous success, emphasizing the value of diversity and inclusion within our organization. Significant progress has been made in enhancing diversity within our staff team and board, particularly in terms of gender and background diversity. ## Sustainability sustainability remains a top priority for us. We commissioned a carbon footprint survey and are pleased with the encouraging results, positioning us ahead of many others in terms of energy efficiency. While we continue to seek further reductions in our carbon footprint, we remain mindful of the broader implications. Furthermore, our SuperEats project has experienced remarkable growth, rescuing over 40 tonnes of food this year. Through partnerships with restaurants, we have significantly reduced waste, with one restaurant alone filling eight fewer garbage bags annually. We are immensely proud of our young Earth Ambassadors, who successfully launched a pilot program for our Wear and Share initiative. This program collects gently used items such as school cases and sports gear, prepares them, and redistributes them within our community. Not only does this program reduce waste, but it also fosters a sense of belonging and generosity among our members. 32 33 ## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025 The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2025.
