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. _**Streamz International | Trustees Annual Report 2022 | www.streamz.org.uk | @streamzflows**_ ## **BANKERS** National Westminster Bank 91 Westminster Bridge Road London SE1 7HW ## **OBJECTIVES** The objects of Streamz are: - The advancement of education for the benefit of the public by the provision of training in employment skills. - The relief of poverty and unemployment for the benefit of the public in such ways as may be thought fit by the trustees, including assistance to find employment and related skills training. - The provision or assistance in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life. - Such other purposes that are deemed charitable according to the laws of England and wales as the trustees may from time to time decide. _**Streamz International | Trustees Annual Report 2022 | www.streamz.org.uk | @streamzflows**_ ## **ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS** We are excited to announce that we are now operating from our own premises, marking a significant milestone in our journey. Our focus is on reintroducing a wide range of indoor activities that foster community engagement and personal development. We are actively developing new programs and strengthening existing partnerships to ensure our activities are accessible and impactful. Our intention is to collaborate with local organisations to help us to extend our reach and deepen our community connections. Additionally, we are dedicated to renovating and improving the premises to create a welcoming, safe, and inspiring environment for all. This new chapter allows us to better serve our community, supporting growth, creativity, and collaboration for years to come. We are already working more effectively in this space with activities to cater for all within the community. We are successfully delivering the Enthuse project for children aged 5-12 years of age, with all the projects under this umbrella proving to be very popular. Active continues to engage young people locally. The opportunity to participate in trips and activities which are usually out of reach for most local youth, provides them with an experience that they would not have. Young people have had exposure to indoor sky diving, go karting and visiting the London Eye to name a few activities. In addition to this, Active reduces the likelihood of young people being victims of serious crime as they are in a safe environment with us. Community Motion is a recently added health and fitness initiative that seeks to provide opportunities for local residents to participate in running and walking with other people. It also _**Streamz International | Trustees Annual Report 2022 | www.streamz.org.uk | @streamzflows**_ provides advice and free checks on health and how to monitor health. This project is proving to involve a range of people with different abilities including running enthusiasts, those wishing to lose weight and members of the community wishing to come out of their homes and be involved in an activity that improves their mental health. ## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** As a Charitable Incorporation Organisation, the trustees of Streamz have allotted time in order to familiarise themselves 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 improve their employment prospects and wellbeing to prevent them from becoming future NEETs or even being drawn into greater anti-social practices. 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 _**Streamz International | Trustees Annual Report 2022 | www.streamz.org.uk | @streamzflows**_ 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 embed ourselves within the new premises and identify activities that are most needed local people. We will then seek to develop and deliver these as effectively as possible. _**Streamz International | Trustees Annual Report 2022 | www.streamz.org.uk | @streamzflows**_ ## **FINANCE** _**Streamz International | Trustees Annual Report 2022 | www.streamz.org.uk | @streamzflows**_ ## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report** **Report to the trustees/** Charity Name STREAMZ INTERNATIONAL **members of On accounts for the year** 31/05/2025 **Charity no** _1163369_ **ended (if any)** ## **Set out on pages** (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets) I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **DD / MM / YYYY** . - **Responsibilities and** As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation **basis of report** of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
