## **LETTER FROM THE CEO: ELIZA REBEIRO** 

Our mission and commitment to engage, educate, and empower young people is the driving force behind our preventative initiatives that all aim for a future where young people are shaped not by fear, but by opportunity. 

From our unit in central Croydon, LNK Engage supports the families in Croydon who need us most. Through workshops, community events, and enrichment activities, we provide a safe space for young people to; make friends, foster a sense of belonging, and simply enjoy being a young person. 

Our LNK Educate: Schools Programme partners with schools to take a holistic approach to tackle youth violence. By working with the whole school community, we work with teachers, safeguarding leads, pastoral welfare staff and senior leaders to hold safe-guarded discussions in a classroom setting. Ensuring that those affected by youth violence are heard and supported, and those who may be at risk, understand the lasting effects of youth violence; on not just the victim and perpetrator, but families and whole communities. 

LNK Empower was designed to equip young people with the tools they need to rise above adversity. They have personally grown with us through the programmes, Engage and Educate. This has empowered them to continue their journey, which involves supporting others. By others, I mean young people from our other programmes. Giving access to the wider community, and expanding their support to other young people who may not have had the opportunity to access our other programmes. 

However, it is not the mission or goal that makes our programmes effective, it is the passion and force provided by the people that support us – the trustees, the team and the community. We are proud to employ youth workers, who are still young people themselves, from similar socio-economic background to the young people they mentor. We have a diverse board, with lived experience and an emotional understanding on the effects of knife crime who are the driving force behind our operations, and a supportive annd understanding community. We have been extremely grateful this year to work with community partners who have raised awareness, raised funds, and worked with some of our young people. Without the power of our community we would not be able to support as many people as we do today. 

Thank you for being part of this journey. 





## **TRUSTEE OVERVIEW: KATE NEWTON** 

Over the past year, LNK has worked with cohorts of young people who are more than ever in need of our support and mentoring. The repercussions of the pandemic on young people include loneliness, stress and fear. Many young people have experienced a deterioration in their mental health, caused by further deprivation, poverty, domestic violence and family breakdown. Sadly, against this challenging backdrop, knife crime in London continues at record levels. 

We want to thank Eliza, our tireless Chief Executive, for continuing to lead and develop the organisation during these tough times. She and her team of dedicated staff have made an ever-greater impact on the lives of vulnerable young people in Croydon. 

The transformational effect of LNK’s mentoring and holistic support on young people is evident to parents, teachers, other agencies, and most importantly to the young people themselves. It is always a delight to meet them during the Engage holiday programmes: to witness their lively energy, their willingness to embrace new opportunities and their evident enjoyment and respect for the LNK mentors. 

Our Trustees have continued to give their time and expertise and we wish to acknowledge the considerable work of Chris Jellow on the accounts and other finance issues. 

We also extend our continued thanks and appreciation to our funders and partners. Your ongoing support is invaluable and will help us to realise our exciting goals for the coming year. 

If you feel passionate about stopping knife crime and supporting vulnerable young people, do get in touch to offer your time and talents, as a Trustee, advisor, ambassador or donor. There is still much to do and we look forward to sharing the outcomes with you in our next report! 



## **FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **INCOME STATEMENT** 

Our total revenue year ending March 2023 was £156,840.

## **ACCOUNT REFLECTIONS** 

## **20222023** 

There are significant differences in our accounts this year compared to last. The main differences are as follows: 

Our LNK Educate programme pilot study came to an end we did not receive any further funding from the Youth Endowment Fund. LNK  reimbursed £92,383 to Youth Endowment Fund,  this was an underspend on the finalised budget due to staff being furloughed during the lockdowns in 2020-2021. 

Since becoming a charity in 2013, LNK has received discretionary rate relief. However, Croydon Council withdrew Rent Subsidy and Discretionary Rate Relief and asked LNK to pay £8,207 in business rates. 

The amount spent on staff wages were reduced by £27,650. This was due to reducing the amount of schools that we deliver LNK Educate. 

We spent £3,653 less on staff training due to staff retention, as LNK Mentors already had training and certification. 


## **RESERVED FUNDS 23/24 OPERATING RESERVE** 

## **£285K** 

The purpose of the reserves for LNK is to ensure the stability of the mission, programmes, employment and ongoing operations of the organisation. The reserves also intend to provide a source of internal funds for organisational priorities such as; building repairs and improvements, programme opportunity and capacity building. 

Our ‘Reserves Policy’ is implemented in concert with the other governance and financial policies of LNK. The policy is also intended to support the goals and strategies contained in these related policies, and in strategic and operational plans. 

£284,700 has been allocated to operationgl reserves in the 2023 - 2024 financial year. 

This is the minimum amount to be designated as an annual operating reserve. The amount will be used to maintain ongoing operations for the year. 




**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
KEY POINT<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


LNK's strength and passion comes from the dedicated and skilled staffing team. 86% of our total outgoings are spent on staff costs. 




## **EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: JACK PRICE** 

I knew I wanted to help make a change – but I didn’t know that I would be where I am today. 

When I walked into Lives Not Knives with my friend, we envisioned being part of something greater than us. There were so many problems around us – we wanted to know if anyone was tackling them. We wanted to be a part of a community, that cared for and understood the youth. We wanted to share a vision with those that had the same hopes as we did. 

We really were young boys who were affected by the things going on around us and we wanted to help. We were sick of seeing our friends get dragged down a path that they didn’t want to go down - but felt they had to. We were tired of feeling hopeless, thinking that we couldn’t do anything. We had enough of seeing people our age losing their life – to their choices, or those of others. We found Lives Not Knives. 

When Eliza told me to apply for the Apprentice Youth Worker role I leapt at the chance. I was so excited to start training; gaining the professional knowledge and skills needed to make an impact. I was happy someone took a chance on me. In my first year I quickly learnt how to build a trusting, professional and successful mentoring relationship – with lots of lessons, challenges and blessings on the way. I then learnt how to run holiday programmes, an after-school club, train my colleagues, and most importantly support young people, with their individual and group needs. 





The need for Youth Work got greater and so did my passion to help. Eliza said to go for Lead Youth Worker. I leapt. Then Designated Safeguarding Lead. I leapt. To then assisting with the management of Educate, to now Programmes Manager. I saw the difference that the support Lives Not Knives provided and I kept leaping. All the while LNK kept pushing me and kept believing in me; equipping me with all the training, knowledge and opportunities I needed. I am so grateful to have been able to facilitate the change I dreamed of years ago. 

I have formally worked with 100’s of young people, supported families and spoke in front of thousands! It isn’t just statistics or numbers. There have been a number of memorable moments. Watching my mentors perform and showcase their talents, being a familiar face in the community, gone to court with a young man, coordinated a Christmas Community Day, taken boys to the gym, and coached basketball games.. I’ve stopped a young man getting stabbed. I’ve been the role model I needed as a young person. 

Now today - reflecting on my time spent at LNK and thinking about the future ahead, I am blessed to not only have grown in the professional world, but I am blessed to have grown in the community. 



## **TRAINING RECIEVED** 

**GOOD NEWS STORY** 

Youth Work LVL3 I worked closely with a young person Counselling Skills LVL2 for 2 years who was deemed the most First Aid vulnerable in the school. He was Mental Health First Aid involved in criminality and gang culture, Domestic Violence Training had been stabbed and had multiple Bereavement Training family members in prison. After our Sexual Health Training time working together, he achieved his Safeguarding Level 1,2,3 dream and goal of playing academyDesignated Safeguarding Lead level football and signed a scholarship Training with a football-focused college. I've also seen many of my old mentees with jobs and bumped into a few at the gym - maturing into the best versions of themselves! 


**PERSONAL HIGHLIGHT** 

My favourite day at LNK has to be going to the seaside! Taking the young people to the beach, some of them for their first time, was a memory I'll cherish - I truly believe that we all have to see horizons wider than our own to grow. Being able to help facilitate this was something I'll never forget. 




## **LNK ENGAGE** 


## **QUOTE** 


## **WHAT IS LNK ENGAGE?** 

Our school holiday programme supports up to 25 of the most disadvantaged young people aged 10 - 15. Throughout the school holidays we provide young people with; a hot meal, mentoring, advice, games, activities, experiences, day trips and a safe environment to make new friends. All young people on the programme are referred or ‘signed up’ via our website by their parents/carers. 

“My son has a mentor with LNK, and he is always talking about her so when he asked to attend your programme I was open to him joining but was worried to leave him because he is a little shy, him coming to your programme has changed him and he has opened up. more and open to making friends and talks a lot more!! I can’t express enough how important LNK has been for me and my son during the summer, he has been able to have a summer with people who care and take the time with him he has tried other holiday groups and hasn’t enjoyed himself! The team you have is amazing, again thank you and please let me know when the next programme is!” 

## **PARENT** 

From our website we had between 62 and 98 parents ‘sign up’ for each Engage programme, unfortunately due to funding constraints we only have capacity for 25 young people per day. We offered the programme to parents on a first come first serve basis. On days when we were not taking young people on enrichment activities, we had capacity within the LNK unit for up to 30 young people. 

Through our Engage programme we worked with 102 young people, 35 of these young people attended the programme during every school holiday. All 102 young people were eligible for free school meals. We worked with local caterers and provided 1200 hot meals throughout the year. Of the 102, 72% were diagnosed with special education needs, with 60% being diagnosed with ADHD. 

On Tuesdays and Thursdays we took young people on trips to Brighton, the funfair, crazy golf, the cinema and bowling. On Wednesdays we held workshops on mental wellbeing and healthy eating, from our Unit. On Fridays we partnered with AWS (Amazon Web Services) who provided a team of volunteers that engaged our young people in sport days, craft days and fun days. 





## **QUOTE** 

Following a successful partnership during the summer holidays, LNK partnered with AWS again for a ‘Christmas Giving Day’. Nathan and James from AWS promoted LNK’s work through the office and asked their teams to support the young people we work with by buying them a Christmas present. 

As a parent I understand first-hand how important and enjoyable the Christmas period is for children and their families. I was both humbled and grateful for being able to help LNK team to provide support to those that needed it most. 

Ending the year by focusing on giving back was the most gratifying and festive things we could have done as a team. But if we thought it was a beneficial event, it was nothing compared to the impact on the young people. Their faces absolutely lit up when they heard about Santa, their enjoyment at sneaking an extra biscuit for their friends who'd forgotten about the dessert table, the paper airplanes and the smiles under the layers of face paint showed where the real value was. For us it's a day that takes planning and a little extra on top of our day to day jobs, but for the people that Lives Not Knives support, if we can make a small difference to their festive period then we are delighted to support. Thank you LNK and all those who came for the day. 

## **VOLUNTEER AMAZON WEB SERVICES** 

Nathan and James did not stop there, they managed to secure a large donation of festive treats, cupboard staples and everyday essentials from Amazon Fresh to help families in Croydon alleviate the cost of Christmas. 

## **58** 

Servings of Christmas dinner were provided to young people and their parents. 

Young people were given a Christmas present of their choosing from AWS staff who personally purchased and wrapped a gift for each young person we mentor. 

## **80** 

Families were supported with festive treats as well as kitchen staples such as rice, pasta, seasonings, cereal canned fish, vegetables, beans and more.

## **LNK EDUCATE** 



## **WHAT IS LNK EDUCATE?** 

LNK Educate is a mentoring programme that is delivered by LNK Mentors in Croydon Schools. LNK Management work closely with the schools safeguarding team to identify young people who are at highest risk of school exclusion or already involved in youth crime. These young people are then given weekly 1-2-1 mentoring sessions. 

We worked across 4 Croydon schools, 3 Secondary and 1 Primary school, from these schools a total of 78 young people were referred to us for mentoring. We prioritised referrals with young people who were subjected to: 

- Abuse, Neglect, Mental illness or Domestic Violence in the home 

- Family/Friends who are currently incarcerated, or involved in gangs and criminality 

- Unstable low-income and single parents household 

- Known alcohol or drug abuse 

- Regular exclusions from school , high levels of truancy or a history of managed moves 

- Involvement in anti-social behaviour, known to/flagged by the police 

- Mental health issues: self harm, anxiety and depression

KEY POINT<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


## **OF THE 78 REFERRALS:** 

**81%** Suffered a traumatic life experience. 

**77%** Were eligible for free school meals. 

**56%** Known to have friends/family involved in gangs of criminal activity. 



## **LNK EDUCATE: CASE STUDY** 

## **THE NEED** 

Child A's behaviour was first raised to a team at a school meeting, regarding safeguarding, special educational needs, attendance and behaviour categories. Child A has a number of difficulties and behavioural problems; struggling to manager their emotions, truanting from lessons, disengaging from learning and found the transition from Primary to Secondary very difficult. 

Child A was referred to LNK in September 2021 for weekly 1-1 mentoring sessions as they needed a positive role model whom they could build a positive, trusted relationship with but someone who was not a teacher. The referral met the LNK threshold due to Child A being a student who had experienced a number of adverse childhood experiences,  being at risk of possible exclusion, not making progress and anti-social activities within the local community were a cause of concern. They were also identified as a student who was at risk of child exploitation due to looking up to older peers who did not make positive choices and appeared to be seeking a relationship with a male role model. 

## **LNK SUPPORT** 

Child A had a lack of trust in adults and he initially found it difficult to speak about factors outside of school that were impacting on his well-being and his behaviour in school. LNK allocated Child A a mentor who had played semi-professionalfootball as we knew Child A was passionate about football. Over time his LNK mentor used many strategies to engage Child A with his sessions, these included team building activities, positive praise and Child A’s love of football. 

The LNK sessions continued for the whole of Y8 and a positive relationship was building with his mentor and the impact of this support on Child A well-being was evident. Their relationship grew as Child A had learnt that he could share his thoughts and feelings, in a safe space with an adult who was consistently there for him. The mentor used Child A’s love of football as a strategy to hook Child A in and to support Child A to understand the importance of being able to manage his emotions, this was achieved by; expressing the need for discipline, hard work - that he displayed on the pitch, the incorporation of these skills and transferring them into his school and personal life. 

Child A had a significant loss and also had to deal with the incarceration of his mum. This hugely impacted his wellbeing and led to his disengagement from school. Returning to school from the summer break his behaviour declined. Child A would have outbursts of anger, leading to situations escalating which result in sanctions. Due to this a mental health referral was made. 

It was agreed LNK would continue to support Child A weekly into Y9 and through this difficult period, 

Child A was supported by their mentor who encouraged them to talk about their feelings rather than bottling them up. 

## **OUTCOME** 

The school of Child A operate a scoring system, focusing on behaviours that are classed positive or negative. Positive behaviour points are awarded for displays of behaviours such as; excellent communication, resilience, respect, ambition, excellent classroom behaviour. Example of negative behaviours would include: truancy, negative classroom behaviour, fighting, need for removal from classroom - disruption, talking, lack of work. 

Child A saw a huge increase in positive behaviour points awarded to him - from senior leadership, teachers, teaching assistants and Pastoral Welfare Leads. 

In the year prior to mentoring Child A was awarded: **29 points for respect, 31 for resilience and 62 for ambition.** 

In the 22/23 year of mentoring: **Child A had been awarded 133 for respect, 148 resilience, 187 ambition.** 



## **LNK EMPOWER** 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
QUOTE<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


‘This is a great chance for a school we have in our JagTag network to meet an NFL player, both to be on field enjoying the game but moreover having that interaction to speak about issues that affected them directly in the community. Lives Not Knives do amazing work to educate and teach young people on the pitfalls of anti-social behaviour and knife crime, we support the messages that were communicated on the day and the work they do across London, this is an invaluable partner for the Union Jax Foundation’. 

## **WHAT IS LNK EMPOWER?** 

Empower has evolved from our Engage and Educate programmes, Empower supports young people aged 14- 18 who have referred themselves. These young people have expressed the need for access to more opportunities and support for when they leave school. Empower supports young people into a  positive future by partnering with community organisations that build their soft skills and provide them with work experience. 

## **ANDY SCOTT UK GRASSROOTS MANAGER** 

We were lucky enough to partner with Jacksonville Jaguars (UK) and the Union Jax Foundation who reached out after their current British born current Jags player Ayo Oyelola,  spotlighted Lives Not Knives charity as part of the NFL wide 'My Cause, My Cleats' where NFL players highlight the work of US or UK Charities. 

We delivered a  Q+A session with Ayo to 30 young people. The young people learnt about the discipline and commitment it takes to become a professional athlete, this also provided a chance for the young people to ask their own questions and Union Jax kindly gave all the young people who participated signed merchandise. The Q & A was followed by a JagTag on field session, in which JagTag coaches guided the young people through the drills and skills and games of 5v5 Flag Football. 

Working with Ayo, Andy and Union Jax allowed us inspire the young people we work with, there was a real buzz during and following the session and all young people said they felt inspired! 



## **THANK YOU** 



The Big Fight UK are very proud to have worked with Lives not Knives for the last couple of years. We originally reached out to LNK because we wanted to help fight knife crime amongst young people. Although there are many charities fighting to help the youth of London and the surrounding areas we felt that LNK, being led by the youth was approaching things differently and we wanted to do what we could to help. To date our fighters have raised over £23,000. The Big Fight Team are looking forward to continuing to support the charity in the incredibly important work they do for our young people. 

**GEM SAVAGE THE BIG FIGHT UK** 



St Christophers hospice supported LNK by delivering training on bereavement and grief to the LNK team. 

Working with Lives Not Knives has been a rewarding experience, particularly in our collaborative efforts on various projects. The opportunity to engage in co-production has been enriching, allowing for a mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and insights. The mentorship provided has been invaluable, providing me with a deeper understanding of the challenges and strengths within the community. Additionally, conducting training sessions for mentors has been a fulfilling aspect of our partnership, as I've observed their ability to draw from personal backgrounds that resonate with the youth, fostering a meaningful and impactful connection.
