Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document
The Foundation exists to nurture and develop the creative and technical skills and talents of young people by providing them with equipment and facilities which will enable them to produce and distribute audio visual programmes and other types of digital content relating to their culture, history, music and the world in which they live.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.
With the gradual raising of COVID restrictions we were able to commence much delayed work in schools.
The Foundation continued to provide drama mentors for the REACH project in Enfield throughout the year. REACH works with groups of young people in secondary education who have been identified of being at risk of exclusion for 1 term. More than 80% of participants manage to successfully return and remain in mainstream education. Funding was provided for some of the workshops by Ironmongers who contributed £1985 to this project. The balance was provided by the borough
The Foundation provided drama mentors for 15 students at Oasis Academy in Enfield for 2 terms, working on Shakespeare and the relevance of the language today. The students produced a short version of Juliet & Romeo. Professional fight directors, directors, choreographers and actors also took part in the production. The students were chosen by the Academy as all being at risk of some form of exclusion & at the end of the project the school informed us that most of the students became more engaged with their education, raised their achievement levels, some were at risk of becoming involved in criminal activities and this was diverted. Self esteem was raised in most of the students and several went on to regularly take part in drama workshops provided by other organisations.
The Foundation provided drama mentors to run a week long intensive drama course in Enfield during the Summer holiday. Many students and their carers requested us to provide more workshops for them to continue with drama but as yet no funding has been sourced for this.

Funding was provided towards REACH and OASIS by the Young Londoners Fund via the Enfield Youth Service with whom we continue to work.
The inter-School Drama Awards were once again postponed due to issues in schools relating to COVID restrictions.
Financial
The charity expenditure totalled £22,130 and finished the year with a deficit of £23. The charity has £14,000 in the bank of which £8000 is unrestricted funds raised at Rudolph Walker’s 80[th] birthday fundraising show at Hackney Empire in 2019 & £6,000 which is funding received in advance towards our youth work in Enfield schools (delayed due to COVID restrictions)
Most of the work of the Foundation only takes place once funds are in place so there is very small financial risk. The largest risk to the Foundation is currently the lack of funds to employ a full time administrator so opportunities for funding for more of our vital work are being missed.
Moving Forward
One of the aims of the Foundation is to provide training for all trustees & to identify skill gaps & actively recruit trustees with the relevant expertise. The Foundation needs to raise the funds to employ an administrative person in order to increase capacity.
