Structure, Governance and Management
MTV Youth Hampton is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by its constitution. The Parochial Church Council of St Mary’s Church Hampton may appoint three trustees. Other trustees are elected by the Charity.
The Trustees are responsible for the strategic management of the Charity but the day to day running is the responsibility of the Senior Youth Worker, Nick Neilan.
Objectives and Activities
The object of the CIO is to guide and support children and young people in Hampton (and nearby areas) in their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development on their journey to adulthood.
To meets its aims, the Charity has three main objectives:
-
Run a safe, engaging and affordable term-time programme of weekly clubs and activities for young people aged 7-18, where they can hangout, make friends, learn new skills, improve their life opportunities and have fun.
-
Help young people, including those who are experiencing hardship, by providing them with additional support through our mentoring programme (one-to-one, small group, and peer mentoring).
-
Further equip and empower young people to fulfil their potential and see transformation in their own lives, as well as in those around them, by providing them with additional guidance and support through our Young Leaders, Sports Leadership and GO! (Girls’ Only!) programmes.
Achievements and Performance
From September 2024 to the end of August 2025, the Charity continued to run very successful youth provision for young people aged 7-18.
Our MTV Juniors programme is for those aged 7-11 years old, and our MTV Youth programme is for those aged 1118+ years old.
Our programme of activities this year included:
- MTV Juniors Monday multi-activity club, 3.15pm-4.30pm.
1
-
MTV Juniors & Youth Tuesday Cooking clubs, 3.15pm-6.30pm.
-
MTV Juniors & Youth Wednesday Fitness & Boxing, 3.30pm-6pm.
-
MTV Juniors Girls’ only Friday football, 3.15pm-4.15pm.
-
MTV Juniors Friday multi-activity club, 4.30pm-6pm.
-
MTV Youth Friday multi-activity club (incl. MTV Youth Girls’ only fitness), 7pm-8.30pm.
-
Leadership Programme for Junior & Young Leaders (incl. Monday Leadership training, 4.45pm-5.45pm).
-
Additional mentoring for those who have been referred to us as needing further support (this also includes older youth aged 18-24)
These activities were delivered by a well-trained team of part-time staff, adult volunteers and peer-to-peer mentors who are positive role models to the young people and provide them with early and targeted support. We believe that by bringing together the youth, their families, volunteers and local organisations we improve community cohesion.
Here are some of the highlights of the past year:
1. The impact the club continues to have on its members
We have supported over 250 young people in the last 12 months.
This was made possible through the extremely generous support of our regular givers and one-off donors, the enormous dedication of our team of leaders and the variety of grants secured for the year (namely those from the Hampton Fund, Heathrow Community Trust, Go! London Fund, and the Jack Petchey Foundation), all of which enabled us to maintain our staff team and continue to deliver high impact youth provision.
The positive impact on our young people can be seen in the results of our annual club survey (March 2025), which was completed by a record 122 club members:
-
98% said their life was better as a result of coming to MTV.
-
93% said they had made new friends at MTV.
-
98% said MTV improved their skills, e.g. leadership, communication, practical skills.
-
92% said MTV improved their mental and emotional health & wellbeing.
-
88% said MTV improved their physical health.
-
86% said MTV improved their confidence and resilience.
-
96% said MTV alleviated their problems.
2. Our Leadership and employability programmes
In total, 38 young people (aged 11-16) took part in our Sports Leadership programme, whereby they received training and mentoring to develop their leadership skills, and the encouragement to become positive role models who empower those around them.
All 38 completed the end of programme evaluation, recording the following outcomes:
-
improved physical health (95%)
-
improved mental & emotional health (97%)
-
improved confidence and resilience (97%)
-
improved communication skills (100%)
-
improved teamwork skills (100%)
-
improved leadership skills (100%)
-
more aware of their strengths (95%)
-
a greater sense of belonging and safety in the local community (100%)
2
A further 10 older youth received training and small group mentoring to improve their life skills and prepare them for the world of work. All confirmed that the programme had given them a greater sense of purpose and a more positive outlook to life, including an improved attitude to learning. All 10 recorded improved leadership skills, communication, confidence, resilience and health & wellbeing and confirmed that they are now far better equipped for employment and to respond to life’s challenges.
The following certified training was also undertaken by our adult leaders, primarily those aged 18-24:
-
Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing
-
UEFA C Football Licence (formerly FA Level 2)
-
Boxing Fundamentals & Advanced combined course (Level 2)
-
Basketball - Introduction to Coaching (formerly Level 1)
-
Level 4 Award in Nutrition - RSPH (QCF)
3. Relieving hardship through our mentoring programme
65 young people experiencing hardship have received additional support from us this year through one to one and small group mentoring.
A quote from one of the parents of our young people who have benefitted from this additional support:
"From day 1, Nick and the team have accepted us all and guided us through a continuing time of emotional hardship. To know that my 4 children have a safe place they can go to let off steam, gain reassurance from trusted adults, all whilst having fun and learning new skills, is an immense relief to me."
4. Evidence of long-lasting positive change in our young people
The continued commitment and development of our 5 Senior Young Leaders (15-18 years old) has been exceptional, all of them supporting nearly 100 sessions each during the course of this year! Their leadership, communication, time management and organisational skills have gone to another level, and we are so thankful for their contribution and continued support.
We are also delighted to hear of the long-lasting positive change in the lives of former club members. A quote from a current MTV Leader who started attending MTV when he was 8 years old:
‘MTV has helped me throughout the last 12 years of my life with so many different things. It allowed me a place to go when I struggled with mainstream education due to bullying and confidence issues. It was a safe place to go during my teenage years when I would have otherwise been badly influenced outside and stuck on screens inside. And now, as an adult, it not only continues to be an outlet for me to cope with all the challenges of life, but it’s given me a source of income, training to improve my employability and the confidence to actually help children who are facing the same difficulties I went through’.
Plans for the Future
-
The Trustees plan to increase the number of trustees, paying particular attention to diversity and particular skills needed by the charity.
-
The trustees plan to update its IT provision.
-
The trustees plan to investigate future provision of accommodation for the club.
Public Benefit
The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
