## **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.
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.
As part of our commitment to the girl’s health and wellbeing we engaged with Sporting Equals, an organisation whose aims are to make sport accessible to minority groups. We were able to get funding from them and the Sweaty Betty Foundation to get our girls more active. We offered various sessions to the girls, including badminton, water sports and rock climbing in a bid to get the girls moving. The sessions were a great success given that they were heavily subsidised and offered over the summer holidays.
## **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.
## **Key Challenges**
- Securing Volunteers
- Suitable Venues
## **Financial Review**
During this period, the Charity raised £3.8k (2022: £4.7k) for the Youth project and incurred expenses of £1.1k (2022: £2.9k) to further its charitable objectives. The Charity bank account had £17.7k (2022: £15k) as at 31[st] August 2023.
## **Plans for the Future**
Our plans for the future are to continue with our face-to-face sessions, and introduce more sessions that build on the girls skills e.g. creative arts, sports, team building workshops.
