## TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
The Trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31st August 2025.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the receipts and payments basis in accordance with the Charity Commission guidance.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) Foundation. We have five Trustees responsible for setting strategies and policies and ensuring these are implemented. No new Trustees were appointed during the year.
## **Risk management**
The charity's Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed potential risks. Systems and procedures have been put in place to manage the risks and to mitigate any adverse outcomes.
## **Public Benefit**
Trustees have taken into account the statutory duties of public benefit. This report highlights examples of charity’s activities that illustrate how our work fulfils public benefit and the benefits it brings to participants in our programs.
## **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.
We continue to develop the following areas to take Youth-Shine further ahead. Some areas have been established, while others continue to be developed:
|**Team**|**Functions**|
|---|---|
|IT Team|Website development and updates.|
|Education Team|Establish and deliver a modular curriculum.|
|Social Activities Team|Organise sporting activities as well as parties and team building trips.|
|Marketing and
Fundraising|Develop ideas to sustain programmes.|
## **Achievements and Performance**
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 help them to become better contributing members of society.
The sessions remain informal and mainly consist of educational or skills-based activities designed to reinforce learning through practical engagement.
The targeted age range continues to be 11–16 years. We aim to empower older participants to mentor younger members, encouraging mutual respect and cooperation.
There has been no significant change in the structure of sessions compared to the previous year. However, we continue to introduce new ways to engage the girls and maintain their interest.

Despite challenges in securing sufficient volunteers, which has limited some activities previously delivered, we have successfully run a number of sports activities during the year, which have been well received by participants.
Sessions continue to be delivered by volunteers from the Muslim community, with the ongoing aim of encouraging professionals to contribute their expertise and support the organisation’s objectives.
## **Partnerships with other Organisations**
Our partnership with the British Muslim Heritage Centre continues. They remain a key partner, providing a venue for events and meetings under agreed arrangements. This continues to serve as a base for Youth-Shine while we work towards securing independent premises.
## **Key Challenges**
- Securing Volunteers
- Suitable Venues
## **Financial Review**
During this period, the Charity raised £4.5k (2024: 8.2k) for the Youth project and incurred expenses of £6.9k (2024: £6.7k) to further its charitable objectives. The Charity bank account had £16.7k (2024: £19.1k) as at 31[st] August 2025.
## **Plans for the Future**
Our plans for the future are to continue with our face-to-face sessions and introduce additional activities that build on the girls’ skills, including creative arts, sports, and team-building workshops. We also aim to explore new ways of engaging participants and strengthening volunteer involvement to expand our programme delivery.
