PRINCIPLE ADDRESS

TRUSTEES & RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
Voke Salmon (Chair) Philip Mondo (Treasurer) Victor Orhurhu
The trustees continue to provide governance and are the ultimate policy-making organ of Streamz. They meet once every quarter in the year with additional meetings/discussions held between the trustees and the Chief Executive Officer using electronic platforms, as a means to communicate and make decisions more frequently. The trustees are not in receipt of remuneration for their role within the charity but provide much needed oversight and direction.

ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
It has been an extremely busy period for all those involved with the organisation. Securing a venue to provide much needed services to the community has meant that, in many ways we are finding our feet once more.
The journey so far has been challenging but like an expectant mother, we are persevering and expecting that we will give birth to something really beautiful in due season!
ACTIVE is an exciting service we launched last year where we provide outdoor and creative activities for young people during the school holidays.
Streamz International | Trustees Annual Report 2022 | www.streamz.org.uk | @streamzflows
In the summer of 2023, we were able to deliver our third Active project (and the second for the Active Summer project) where 25 young people attended and participated in a range of activities over a six-week period. The activities the young people were able to engage in included indoor skydiving, Go-Karting, bowling, driving lessons and so much more. All these exciting activities were free and we were delighted to also cover the cost of travel and hot meals also.
STREAMZ FM continues to be a platform for young people (and the youth organisation they are a part of) to provide a service, and voice for
the community, primarily through discussion and music. Our online radio station presently has a range of shows that consist of talks tips for mothers, challenges for young people and careers. As well as the talk shows, there are also specialist music shows such as hip-hop, dance, afropop and amapiano, to name a few. Our challenge as an organisation is devising strategies to make the station self-sustainable or exploring other platforms toincrease the audience numbers of the different shows.
HOMEWORK CLUB has been set up for children aged 7 to 16 to receive support with their homework and revision. We are working with the Myatts Field North Community Centre to provide this service twice a-week during term times. It is the intention of Streamz to look at delivering more alternative after school provision that meet the needs of our service users,

adopting methods that are more creative. We have recently secured
FUNDING from the National Lottery’s Awards for England fund that will enable us to this during term time, after school.
This funding will allow us to continue with some of our existing
projects such as the weekly football sessions, but also introduce new ones too.

PUBLIC BENEFIT
As a Charitable Incorporation Organisation, the trustees of Streamz have apportioned time in order to become acquainted with the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and have effectively overseen the delivery of activities for children from deprived areas in North Brixton and the surrounding communities, in order to advance their employment
prospects and
wellbeing to prevent them from becoming future NEETs or even being drawn into greater antisocial activities. We have also provided a safe platform for young people to interact with their peers and express themselves through music and sport as well as
delivered training and experience for work for young people, to help them make more informed choices about their future as well as move closer to employment.

RISK MANAGEMENT
In our work with children, young people and in some cases vulnerable adults, it is imperative that we take the appropriate measures to adopt the best practices as an organisation. This is in order to safeguard our beneficiaries, staff and possessions.
All trustees and staff working with vulnerable adults, young people and children, have an enhanced DBS check carried out to identify their suitability to work with our beneficiaries. We continue to ensure that all staff working with young people will have adequate safeguarding training to ensure they are able to fulfil their roles as expected.
Risk assessments are reviewed and revised where required, usually on an annual basis although this can be more frequently where, there are changes to provisions, venues and/or where new hazards arise or existing risks become more severe. Risk assessments are reviewed by the Chief Executive and then approved by the trustees.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
We are taking effective measures to grow our organisation to ensure that is financially sustainable following the setback of the global pandemic. The strategy is to continue with our online provision but more importantly seek opportunities to deliver activities in person, which are now ongoing.
Efforts are being made to now develop the property that has been leased to us by the local authority. Major works will need to take place in order to develop the presentation and more importantly the health and safety to the required standard. It is now a priority for us to seek funding to make this a reality but we are also aware that we would need to source funding for utilities also, which has not been something we have previously had to concern ourselves with as an organisation.
