Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | To help families and young people through the provision of support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities. This is to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals. We do this by developing and applying a variety of interventions that support children, families, and young people in a range of issues that have an effect on their quality of life including: bullying, mental health, sexual health, sexual exploitation, drug and alcohol abuse and domestic abuse |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The main activities are provision of term time youth clubs for 8-17 year olds (up to 25 years for young people with additional needs) and school holiday activities for 8 – 17 year olds. Fusion Seniors Orange T-shirt Project (14–17- year-olds)- Fusion seniors is a weekly youth club for volunteers and young people wanting to volunteer in clubs and events in the local community. The group is mainly social, but also offers training sessions, mental wellbeing subject discussions and the opportunity to sit as a group to eat and share weekly news. 12 Orange T-shirt volunteers went on a 2-day training residential to Grafham Water. They completed their Leadership training and worked hard to plan an engagement event to promote Fusion and discuss the possible building project. This weekend was supported by Stephanie Webb, Youth and Community Coordinator (Huntingdonshire) Cambridgeshire County Council, who delivered the training. Sarah Jane Gaul, Communications Officer Huntingdon Town Council, helped the young people with the engagement event,and |
training them on how to answer difficult questions. Fusion Gateway (young people with additional needs ages 12-25) - this is a club for the young people to make friends, play games, do sports, arts, and cooking. As some of the young people are older, we do sessions about independent living including cooking simple meals. Fusion Juniors (school years 7-9) - Fusion Juniors is a weekly youth club for young people to take part in arts and sports activities. We often have a weekly theme based on issues that affect our young people like bullying, peer pressure and healthy relationships. Fusion Funky Monkeys (ages 8-11) - Funky Monkeys is a weekly club for our young people to come to make friends and have fun. We offer sports, games, arts and crafts, transitional work for the year 6's getting ready to move up to senior school, and healthy food cooking. This group is our busiest and regularly has over 40 young people in attendance each week. All clubs provide a planned and appropriately delivered quality curriculum, which stimulates and extends young people’s social and life skills. All activities aim to provide young people with opportunities to develop healthy relationships with their peers and adults, learn risk management and develop high level life skills. Skateboarding Project - Funding from Living Sport enabled Fusion to run an 8-week Skateboarding Project. The funding paid for helmets, skateboards and safety pads for 10 young people that the young people could keep after the lessons. Skateboarding is now an Olympic sport and very popular with young people but a lot of the families Fusion work with would not have the money to be able to take up this sport safely. Once the basics have been learnt the young people can attend one of the local skate parks for free with their families and friends this makes it incredibly sustainable as long as the young people have the equipment needed. The skateboard community at skate parks vary in ages and they are really supportive, with older young people often taking the time to teach and encourage the younger ones . The young people who take part in the project will not only be able to spend more time outdoors and off computers but will become part of a community and
| maybe mentor others sharing the skills they learnt. Home Work Club (ages 8-14)- Working in conjunction with the Huntingdon Communities Officer, this is an accessible, free provision to enable young people aged 8 - 14 to: study, complete homework, undertake revision and learning tasks and access the internet and library in a friendly, safe and secure environment. In- School Projects– Fusion staff deliver weekly groups in two local senior schools, working with referred groups of up to 10 young people. They deliver bespoke packages which can support mental wellbeing with sessions around, feelings, safer relationships, county lines, self-harm, internet safety etc. Fusion Family trips - This year Fusion organised two trips in partnership with HCAP (Huntingdon Community Action Projects). In October half term 18 adults and 28 of their children visited Shepreth Wildlife Park and in February 17 adults and 22 of their children visited Sacrewell Farm. Fusion and HCAP were able to pay for their tickets, coach and a packed lunch for all the families. Most of these families do not have transport or spare money to allow them to go on day trips as a family. This work broadens the scope of work Fusion delivers and helps start to forge early relationships with children and their families. |

Achievements and Performance
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | During the year, Fusion has worked with approximately 174 different young people aged 8-25 as well as 35 parents with their 50 younger children. The opportunities offered have helped young people to socialise again after the Covid pandemic and provided a safe place for them to talk about issues they may be facing. As well as running term time clubs, Fusion has been able to access funding from HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) to provide school holiday activities. The funding is for children who access free school meals but Fusion uses funding from other sources to open this up to other local children who may not have free school meals but still face many issues. One week was organised for the Easter break and four weeks in the Summer when an extra 20 young people, not on free school meals, were able to attend. It has been shown that accessing positive activities like this contributes to crime reduction by reducing engagement in anti- social and/or criminal behaviour. We are very grateful to all our funders including the second-year funding from the Garfield Weston Foundation and for the unrestricted funding received from local organisations: Huntingdon Freemen’s Trust, Hinchingbrooke Foundation and Hartford Church. The commitment of our funders has meant that Fusion has been able to continue to help young people learn new skills, raise their aspirations, become active members of their community, and make friends. |
Total Income during this period was £60,142 Details of specific restricted grants received are shown in the accounts under Financial Activities by Donor.

Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Fusion Family and Youth Projects were in a sound financial position at the end of March 2023. A carry forward of £45,596 was largely due to second year funding from Garfield Weston, together with funding from local organisations. Much of the carry forward was committed for future expenditure on salaries and resources to comply with the conditions of grants but it meant the charity was able to continue to plan for the future and to have money in reserves in case of funding problems. |

Grants with performance conditions Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end.
