The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2022. The trustees, who are also the directors of UP ‘N AWAY for the purpose of company law and who served during the period and up to the date of this report are set out on Page 1

We are extremely proud to report on our successful camp and day camp this year even in the current situation and this year till September 2022 we are delighted to be able to report that 180 disadvantaged young people attended our summer holiday day programme, and 230 young people joined our sleep away. These figures are evidence of the popularity of our projects, as well as a strong indication of the demand for the activities we provide in the community.

In both camp and day camp we succeeded in following government guidance, ensuring social distancing, good hygiene, and relevant ppe. Temperatures were taken daily to ensure no-one was unwell. And we did track and trace twice a week, and had lateral flow test available on site, so that young people and parents can test themselves in case they had symptoms thankfully everyone was feeling well and nobody caught covid during the summer.

As Project Manager, I have seen the on-going need for a broad programme of activities, especially during the pandemic which has alleviated the multiple disadvantages suffered by our users, which include low income, a severe shortage of extra-curricular activities in their lives, overcrowded inner city housing and a general lack of access to so many of the opportunities that their more fortunate peers take for granted. This is exacerbated by their shorter than average school holidays, and a long school day. A combination of all these factors could so easily lead to a downward spiral beginning with social exclusion, leading to a lack of self-confidence, low achievement and anti-social or even criminal behaviour.

Knowing about all these issues and challenges combined with generous and ongoing financial support from our benefactors continues to encourage the trustees of Up N 'Away together with generous financial support from our benefactors to set up yet again two previously very successful projects; A summer holiday programme and a two week sleep-away, both with an increase in the num-

ber of users, and a broader canvas of activities.

The activities were chosen and the programmes designed as a result of intensive feedback from the young people themselves, which ensured that programmes relevant to their needs, at the same time as improving they were content, and also improved their decision making skills, self-confidence and selfesteem.

As Programme Manager, I am gratified to see many positive outcomes from the two projects. The young people made lots of new friends, became fitter and more healthy, learnt a variety of new skills and gained new interests that they planned on continuing after the project , if at all possible. Our special needs kids were integrated well into the activities, and all participants learnt tolerance and patience, and became more confident and responsible as a result. We anticipate that all this will be reflected in better school performance and a more promising future.

We look forward to next year and beyond, which despite the external challenges in the wider world, we anticipate will bring a further expansion of our activities, providing positive experiences and hope to even more disadvantaged young people in the years ahead.

Project Co-ordinator

The charity is controlled by its governing document, deed of trust dated 25th September 2012. It is a registered Company limited by guarantee.

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. They have done so throughout the past year.

Up ‘N Away was set up to improve the lives of disadvantaged young people in the inner city London boroughs of Hackney and Haringey, both now and in their futures. Our aim is to ensure that the young people’s leisure hours are filled with constructive activities that they otherwise would be unable to access, broadening their horizons improving their skills and abilities and leading to a brighter future.

Up 'N Away was able to set up (with the support of its generous benefactors), a very successful two week summer holiday project for 180 disadvantaged inner city young people aged 3-14 years, showing a significant increase over the previous year. The project took place on the campus of a local Ofsted registered school, with a varied programme both on and off site, including sports, balancing skills, woodwork, drama and social activities, as well as visits to the coast and countryside, tractor riding in Diggerland, visits to; petting and milking farms, a tree climbing centre, a snow tubing facility, a cycling centre, canoeing, kayaking and fishing, for example. The focus was on healthy living and on enabling the disadvantaged young people to explore their own latent talents and creativity, as well as developing new positive friendships with their peers, as well as with the youth leaders and volunteers who staffed the project.

We also ran a very successful summer holiday residential in Wales for 230 socially excluded young people aged 14-16 years. The programme included both on and offsite activities, including such as walks in the countryside, swimming and other sports, and visits to places of physical activity such as High Rope Climbing, Leisure centres, dry skiing and cycling centres. The sleep away was staffed by qualified and experienced youth leaders and volunteers all safely recruited and DBS checked, and the young people were encouraged to develop their individual initiative strengths and take on responsibilities commensurate with their age.

In both camp and day camp we succeeded in following government guidance, ensuring social distancing, good hygiene, and relevant ppe. Temperatures were taken daily to ensure no-one was unwell. And we did track and trace twice a week, and had lateral flow test available on site, so that young people and parents can test themselves in case they had symptoms. Thankfully everyone was feeling well and nobody caught covid during the summer.

We also provided a very successful breakfast club to disadvantaged, low income, deprived young people aged 14-16 years, which served two purposes of 1. ensuring a healthy start to the day for these young people who would otherwise eat little or nothing before coming to school, and educating them on how to follow a healthy lifestyle and 2. helping users by enabling them to actively participate in the setting up, serving and clearing up of the breakfasts, as well as in the decision making process of which healthy foods to provide and how to provide them.

During lockdown when the breakfast club was closed we distributed food packages to disadvantaged, low income young people who come from families where their parents find it difficult to pay for their weekly rent and basic food bills or where parents have lost their jobs, and conditions spiraling downwards fast due to additional mental health problems, making it difficult for them to provide their family with nutritious food. Distributing breakfast packages helped these young people and their families to cope and sail through the trying times.

As a result of many requests from potential users, Up ‘N Away provided vocational courses. The first was an accredited first aid course delivered to 12 young people aged 16 years, potential volunteers at our other programmes. It was very successful, and resulted in all 12 attendees receiving a first aid qualification.

Up ‘N Away also provides an afterschool homework club for 120 disadvantaged young people to have the opportunity of support with homework and improving their learning skills as well as being served a warm nutritious meal. It has proved very popular, with nearly 120 attendance on a daily basis, and we are delighted to have received feedback on how it has improved the school performance of its users.

. of its users as well as the range of its . activities continue to expand, reflecting . both the need and its success. The trustees are . gratified at being able once again to report on such extensive activities for so many socially and economically deprived young people. This is due first and foremost to the level of support we receive from our funders, as well as to the high calibre of our staff/volunteers, and the trustees' understanding of the huge, desperate and growing need for activities such as these.

We have been able yet again to improve the lives of hundreds of disadvantaged and vulnerable young people by giving them a variety of life enhancing projects and programmes.

Feedback from users and other stakeholders, as well as the enthusiastic take up of our activities, have all shown clearly the popularity of and need for our projects, and the trustees are planning to increase the range as well as the number of places available in the year ahead.

Up 'N Away is planning to increase both the scope of its activities and the number of places available to meet the expanding need. This will necessitate securing more spacious premises to accommodate the larger numbers we are planning for; our waiting list is long and continues to grow.

Our next priority will be to further improve the activities we are already running.

All projects are conditional on our success in fundraising, to enable us to provide and expand our current activities, and continue to improve the lives of disadvantaged and deprived young people.

None of this would have been possible without the strong and generous support of our funders: the young people we target are on low income, socially deprived and are at risk of falling into NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). Without the work of Up 'N Away they would have little chance of experiencing the activities we have described.

Thank you to all who have been involved. We feel heartened and encouraged by our success so far and plan to continue to expand the work of Up ‘N Away, to provide hope, incentive and a more successful future for young people at the brink of their adult lives. Our success would not have been possible without the on-going generosity of our funders. Only with their generous and consistent support have we been able to achieve what we did, and we thank all funders, both old and new, for helping us to increase our income, leading to more users, better and increased activities for them, and much improved life chances.
