Joint message from our Chair and Chief Executive

As you may be aware, the charity has gone quiet since 2019. This was due to a number of factors out of the charity’s control, including the ongoing COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic and lack of funds we received due to economic difficulties local businesses, cooperation’s and grant giving organisations face. Our reporting to the Charity Commission has therefore lagged.

The World Youth Organization is now back and fully operational. We are ensuring continuity of service will not be interrupted in the future and funds made available to support our important work for young people.

This report will be brief and we hope to have your understanding throughout as we relaunch the charity and our flagship program WYO Educate.

Thank you for taking the time to read our annual report. We look forward to reintroducing you to our charity and continue working towards our aim of advancing education for young people.

Report of Trustees (con’d)

The trustees and directors present their report and accounts for the year ended 04 January 2021.

Objectives and how they are achieved:

Mission

To see a world where all young people can easily transition into adulthood, without the difficulties of stereotypical views, lack of support services and education.

Values

Our core values are driven by the following factors:

WYO supports young people, through the advancement of education, relief of unemployment, and to allow the growth of a young generation of new leaders.
WYO mobilizes support and resources to help countries, particularly those of developing countries, ensure an “education for all” and to build their

capacity to form appropriate policies and deliver services for young people which will be maintained for future generations.

WYO is committed in ensuring all young people have the right to work, and earn a living and not live in poverty due to the lack of opportunities given to them.
WYO, in everything it’s involved with, the most disadvantaged youth and the countries in greatest need to education and opportunity takes priority, always.

Geographic Scope

Our delivery is primarily aimed at children and young people aged 11-25. Our programmes are largely based within the UK, with targeted activities provided in: Central and Greater London. We hope to roll out WYO Educate across England and Wales in 2022.

We do have capacity to expand our operations internationally with previous programs being ran in the United States of America and Guatemala.

Programs, Results of the Year and Achievements

Due to lack of funds and the COVID-19 pandemic, all operations during this reporting period unfortunately ceased. Therefore we have been unable to continue running our WYO Educate program, however this program will be relaunched in 2022, pending funding.

Risk Management

The trustees are responsible for the overseeing of the risks faced by the charity. Detailed considerations of risk are delegated to the Senior Management of the charity. Risks are identified, assessed and controls established throughout the year. A formal review of the charity’s risk management processes is undertaken on an annual basis.

The main risks that the trustees have identified and the plans to manage those risks are:

 Reputation

The charity’s success is built on its reputation for the well-being of our volunteers and staff. We manage this risk through safeguarding policies, staff recruitment policies and active identification and resolution of health and safety related issues through undertaking strict risk management assessments for each activity the charity undertakes.

Money

Our ability to continue is reliant on public donations, corporate support and grant programs. This risk is managing by marketing activity, having a reputation for worldwide excellence and cash-flow management.

Programs and Activities

The charity’s programs require the most able volunteers and staff to facilitate our activities to benefit the public with optimum excellence. We manage this risk by combining attractive benefits and recruiting a diverse workforce to make our charity the most inclusive organisation to work for. Our all volunteers and staff undergo initial training and Continual Professional Development (CPD). Prior to employment all applicants are DBS screened.

Through the risk management processes established for the charity, the trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

Serious Incidents

No serious incidents were reported.
