Management and Running of Youth-Shine
Youth-Shine is run by a board of Trustees supported by a team of volunteers who meet on a regular basis to guarantee the smooth running of the organisation.
This year we used the services of a part-time administrator/project manager who helped with various administration tasks and in leading some of our programs. Next year we are hoping to employ other staff so that we can take the organisation further.

Achievements and Performance
The outputs lie within the skills development of both the volunteers and participants of young females. Our main aim at Youth-Shine is to provide local Muslim girls access to activities and information sessions intended to cultivate a sense of belonging within their peer group and also help them to become better contributing members of the society at large.
The sessions are informal and are mainly comprise of educational or skills development session on a given topic and activities that are meant to practically reinforce the information that has been shared. The targeted age range is from 11-18 years. One of the aims is to empower some of the older girls to take on mentorship of their younger counterparts and create a sense of mutual respect and cooperation. These sessions are delivered at present by volunteers from the Muslim community with the hope that this will encourage other professionals in the community to lend their specific knowledge and skills, helping promote the expressed aims of the establishment of Youth-Shine which include: Social Enterprise, Integration, Networking and Education.
We have organised workshops within the year, apart from the regular programme in order to address certain key issues so that they can be looked at in greater detail. Workshops this year included Health, Diet, Nutrition and Eating Disorders, Anger Management, Tolerance and Integration.
Our focus in the general programme was divided between a look at an outline of key core beliefs and how they contribute to character building with the emphasis on implementation of belief through good actions and service to the community.
This year, due to Covid restrictions we have had to abandon plans for various activities planned for the year .We did successfully take part in the Breaking Boundaries initiative at the beginning of the year. 5 of our girls were nominated to take part in a program of training as champions of the cause and planned an event which we could not execute in the end because of Covid. However we did have online activities for the girls including exercise, dealing with mental health issues and other fun activities.
Partnerships with other Organisations
We have renewed our partnership with the British Muslim Heritage Centre to host our events and meetings in return for certain financial arrangements. This still serves as a base for Youth-Shine until we are able to have our own independent premises.
