Section C Objectives and activities

TAR

February 2016

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public beneft in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public beneft)	THE PREVENTION OF CRIME AND THE PRESERVATION AND PROTECTION OF GOOD HEALTH OF YOUNG PEOPLE BY RAISING AWARENESS AND PROVIDING EDUCATION IN KEY TOPICS WHICH THEY MAY EXPERIENCE IN THEIR ADOLESCENT JOURNEYS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE SUBJECTS OF GUN AND KNIFE CRIMES, GANG CULTURES, ANGER MANAGEMENT, THEFT, VANDALISM, DRUG, ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ADDICTIONS, BEREAVEMENT, SMOKING, BULLYING AND HEALTHY EATING.
	In March 2020, the Government imposed a nationwide lockdown due to the exponential growth in the cases of COVID-19. As our work is direct with young people, in institutions and youth clubs, the restrictions imposed put a stop to our ability to deliver any of our current line up of programmes. Unable to fully understand the timescales and severity of this ofcially recognised Pandemic, we halted all of our work that may put our educators, benefciaries or staf at risk. Later in the year we did transfer the content of the knife crime programme into a zoom presentation and workshop, allowing us to deliver to benefciaries who had restarted school. Unfortunately, we were then put into a further lockdown, then re-opened and then fnally put into a lockdown lasting the rest of the fnancial year and beyond. It was a very difcult time for us and we had to make some challenging decisions around programme delivery, fnances and health and safety. So much of what we do and our constitution and objects relate to us working face to face with young people. It is crucially important for us to work with high-risk individuals in this manner due to non-verbal communication channels that only appear whilst using this manner of working. We eventually made the decision to wait out the restrictions, after balancing the efect it was having on people and the economy. The further impacts can be seen in our accounts and further information provided below.
