The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The principal activities of the company in the year under review were to relieve poverty and advance education for young people aged under twenty-five and for elderly people. The objectives of 4ALL - Building Community in West Dulwich are to: - alleviate educational and social disadvantage and social isolation through small-scale projects working with local communities and groups - promote social inclusion across age, cultural, faith and ethnic backgrounds by bringing people together to better their community. ## **Charitable Activities, Achievements and Performance** 4ALL's activities fall into three main categories: - projects with younger people - projects with older people - community-building projects. The main activities of 4ALL are to operate three afterschool/youth clubs together with some outreach youth work and associated activities; to run a community choir and drop in session for older people; and to hold community-building events. ## **Projects with younger people** 4ALL’s three afterschool/youth clubs meet a demonstrable need among local young people; there is no similar provision in the area. The clubs are Between the Tracks (for 8-12-year-olds); Between the Tracks Plus (age 13-16); and Between the Tracks Seniors (age 16-19). The three clubs serve young people living on or near three educationally and socially disadvantaged ‘hard-to-reach’ social housing estates. The clubs, which meet weekly or twice weekly in estate community halls, aim to build the self-confidence, self-esteem and resilience of members; develop the softer skills essential to progress to further and higher education and to employment; and provide a safe space in which young people can talk about the issues (family, social etc) they face - and also chill out with friends. All three clubs also run regular trips that aim to broaden members’ horizons and introduce them to new, and often challenging, experiences. The clubs are run by experienced paid part-time youth workers supported by committed and experienced volunteers. The clubs successfully maintain a strong ethos and a loyal membership. Members enjoy coming to the clubs and value the safe, friendly environment they offer along with opportunities to engage with sympathetic, interested adults. The board reviews and monitors progress of the clubs and 4ALL's wider youth provision against the aims set out in the threeyear strategic plan. All three clubs have agreed values in place and operate effective recruitment and safeguarding procedures, applying to staff, volunteers and trustees. All volunteers, staff and trustees are required to attend safeguarding training; the club leaders are trained to a higher level. One trustee has specific responsibility for oversight of safeguarding, and during the year another trustee took on responsibility for oversight of health and safety matters. The principal funders of 4ALL’s youth service are BBC Children in Need (whose three-year grant runs until January 2024); the London Borough of Lambeth, whose two-year grant from October 2019 has been extended to run until March 2023. The charity also receives grants from the Peabody Community Foundation specifically for the continuation and development of work with older teenagers. These three grants have ensured the youth service’s financial viability. We also benefited from a significant grant from the London Community Response fund which enabled us to provide a range of additional activities and support as the clubs emerged from the pandemic. Other smaller funders included London Youth and Active Lambeth (whose grants enabled us to start a successful football coaching project); the Hedley Foundation; and the Co-operative Community Foundation. 4ALL remains immensely grateful to The Peabody Hill and Rosendale Road Tenants and Residents Associations which continued to provide rent-free accommodation as well as much other support. This represents a significant contribution to the successful operation of the clubs. 4 **4ALL - Building Community in West Dulwich** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** Highlights of the year have included: - young people enjoying a range of age-appropriate activities including art and craft, board and card games, cooking, gardening, discussion - residential weekends - varied trips, including theatre visits, Christmas lights, go-karting, bowling - workshops and informal discussions on different topics including first aid and fire and safety; sexual health; online safety - launch of a successful weekly football coaching programme, which immediately attracted a loyal group of young people, many of whom did not attend 4ALL’s other youth activities. ## **Projects with older people** ## Sing4ALL Sing 4ALL, a community choir for older people, is a highly regarded musical and social group and a strong community resource. Members are aged between the low sixties and the mid-nineties and come from a variety of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Many members have significant disabling long-term health conditions; some can be described as socially isolated. Under the direction of an experienced professional musician, the choir learns songs from a wide variety of music types. This extends members' musical knowledge and also provides stimulus and challenge, as well as being fun. In addition, strong friendship bonds have formed between members, and members report noticeable health benefits such as improved breathing and improved well-being. ## Drop in session The charity has started a very successful drop in session for older residents in the area supported by grant funding from the McCarthy and Stone housing group. ## **Community-building events** Traditionally 4ALL has run two annual community-building events, the Community Autumn Fair in September and Carols 4ALL in December. Carols 4ALL successfully resumed in December with a strong attendance from every section of the local community. This event offers people the opportunity to enjoy singing Christmas carols in a friendly cafe-style setting, free from the constraints of a formal carol service, and thus appeals to many people whom Christmas would otherwise pass by. Due to a lack of volunteers to run what had grown to be a very complex event, the Board decided not to resume running the annual Community Autumn Fair. This followed eleven very successful events between 2010 and 2019. ## **Public benefit** The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties. The public benefit of the Charity's activities are outlined under 'Objectives and Activities' above. 5 **4ALL - Building Community in West Dulwich** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Reserves policy** The Trustees consider it prudent to maintain unrestricted reserves at a level sufficient to enable the Charity, in the event that closure was inevitable, to gradually wind down the Charity over a year. The Trustees consider that minimum reserves of £22,000 should be sufficient for this purpose. ## **Financial Position** The financial position of the Charity as at 31 March 2023 is considered to be satisfactory with unrestricted reserves higher than the previous year and are at the same level within the policy set by the Charity. Overall, the Trustees consider that, with the continuing support of those who support the charity, both from a physical and a financial point of view, the Charity will be able to continue to meet it objectives and provide its core activities for the next 12 months. Significant work will be needed in the next year to secure long term grant funding to ensure the viability of the charity. 6 **4ALL - Building Community in West Dulwich** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The charity is controlled by its Memorandum of Articles of Association and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. ## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** New trustees are identified through local networks. They meet existing trustees for informal discussion and interview and attend a board meeting as an observer; references are then obtained before appointment is confirmed by the trustees. In the recruitment of new trustees, the board has regard to the importance of widening membership among varying ethnic, age and socio-economic groups. ## **Organisational structure** The parochial church council of All Saints Church West Dulwich appoints two of its members to the board of 4ALL. The historic and continuing links between 4ALL and All Saints Church continue to remain strong. However, 4ALL is not a religious organisation and all its activities are open to everyone without distinction. The board meets approximately quarterly to monitor and review the performance 4ALL's projects and to carry out strategic development planning. ## **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.
