1 ## **ACTIVE ESSEX FOUNDATION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** ## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** The objects of the charity are the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation across Greater Essex by: (1) Working with and through local agencies to increase levels of participation in sport and physical activity; (2) Promoting and providing programmes and services for sport, recreation, physical activity, informal education and other leisure time occupation for healthy recreation; (3) Promoting and providing facilities and services for recreational, sporting or other leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare for the public at large or those who by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances, have need of such facilities and services; and (4) The improvement and preservation of good health and well-being through participation in healthy recreation. The Trustees confirm that they have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit. Working with Trustees and key stakeholders were able to develop a theory of change that identified the key outcomes we are looking to achieve through all of our work. They include: - Improve health and wellbeing - Reduce crime - Improve education and employment - Strengthen communities to be more cohesive and resilient In order to achieve our key outcomes, we have identified five strategic priorities: 1. Use sport and physical activity to prevent youth crime and violence 2. Tackling holiday inactivity and food poverty 3. Build the capacity of locally trusted organisations 4. Supporting young people and children’s mental health through sport and physical activity 5. Level up participation in the popular activities of cycling, walking and running ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** Throughout the financial year of 2022-23 The Active Essex Foundation has continued to grow and further develop our work, reach and support for young people most in need. We have a growing network of locally trusted organisations (LTOs) that we work with across Essex and our reputation for delivering impactful projects is fast becoming established. As the cost of living crisis continues to effect the health and wellbeing of young people in Essex, this year the Active Essex Foundation prioritised its physical activity programmes to reach those most in need. By connecting young people and their families to physical activity opportunities such as our Lottery-funded Youth Crime and Violence project, we have seen young people develop the confidence to navigate towards a more positive future. It’s been a successful year for the team who care passionately about improving lives in Essex and as Trustees, we are committed to ensuring these opportunities continue for the long-term. 2 **ACTIVE ESSEX FOUNDATION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)** ## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** We have continued to significantly increase the income to the Foundation, which will continue into the next three financial years. During the growth of the Foundation, it has seen its successful bid writing develop from small grant organisations to larger funders such as the National Lottery, Children in Need, and more recently we have been able to support our LTOs secure over £100,000 from the ministry of Justice. Following on from the success of our National Lottery Community Fund and Essex Local Delivery Pilot’s for our 3 year Sport and Youth Crime Prevention programme we were pleased to employ 2 full time members of staff to lead and develop the programme. This was a milestone for the Foundation because it enabled the employment of our first two full time team members. This includes a Project Manager and a Project Coordinator. Both were in post by May 2022. This funding has helped to scale up the support, capacity building and up-skilling of a number of LTOs. LTOs are groups that use sport and physical activity in order to engage and support young people who are involved in, or at risk of becoming involved in the criminal justice system. It was our aim when we started the programme to support around 10 key organisations, over this financial year this has grown to over 40 organisations working with us to use sport and physical activity to support young people most in need. This project has also helped to build our working relationship with the Essex Violence and Vulnerability Unit and the Youth Offending Service and we have been pleased to secure funding from both organisations, adding value to our sport and youth crime prevention programme. We continue to work in partnership with LTOs across Essex Southend and Thurrock, with a particular focus on the most deprived and marginalised communities. As part of the Ride London Essex event taking place in Essex, we were pleased to be able to secure funding for a full time Sport for Development Officer. This role will support the development and sustainability of the Foundation, delivery projects and ensure that we have robust governance, project plans, fundraising strategies and a robust business plan. This post will start in May 2023 and we are pleased to have interviewed and appointed an experienced and passionate Sport for Development Officer. We are also working closely with our partners Active Essex and 16 LTOs who specialise in using sport and physical activity to support positive mental health in young people across Essex. We have developed a 3 year project plan in partnership with our LTOs and also National Partners Street Games and Believe Platform and if successful in securing funding we will lead a Sport and Youth Mental Health programme that replicates the Sport and Youth Crime Prevention programme and we will employ a further 2 full time members of staff leading on this work. ## **ACHEVEMENTS AGAINST STRATEGIC PRIORITIES** 1. **Use sport and physical activity to prevent youth crime and violence** _**Sport and Youth Crime Prevention project:**_ We have been successful in securing significant investment over three years to: - Be the leading organisation around sport and youth crime prevention in Essex - employ two full time members of staff - Be in a position to work more closely with the criminal justice system 3 **ACTIVE ESSEX FOUNDATION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)** ## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** This work bring’s three important systems together across Essex: Youth Justice, Community Sector, Sport and Physical Activity - through shared purpose, co-production and shared desire to positively change the lives of vulnerable young people. This will mean more organisations using sport to engage and support young people, more young people engaging in sport and physical activity regularly, more funding for sport from across the system. Over the past 12 months we have increased our Sport and Youth Crime Prevention network of LTOs to over 40, providing support, training and resources for their staff and volunteers. In turn this enables the LTOs to provide high quality support for young people through sport and physical activity and have the understanding and tools to produce monitoring and evaluation that evidence the positive impact that this work is having in their local communities. This year has also see the Foundation secure funding from criminal justice partners for 3 part time support workers, linking and hand holding young people involved in the youth justice system, to sports and physical activity opportunities delivered by our LTOs. Over the past 12 months this project has: - Supported 5020 young people who are at risk or involved in the youth justice system. - 845 young people were supported through our intensive programmes, - 4175 young people have engaged regularly in programmes supported by our LTO network - Supported over 200 coaches and volunteers with bespoke training - Leveraged in £350,000 direct to our LTOs for the delivery of sport and physical activity interventions - Supported 40 LTOs ## _**Sport and Life-skills project**_ **:** As part of this project we have worked in partnership with a number of LTOs across the county in order to develop a programme that works in partners with Essex Youth Offending Services (YOS) and gives young people the support and opportunity to engage in a range of sport ad physical activities, alongside our ‘plus’ offer, including life skills such as living independently, shopping on a budget, CV writing and interview skills. Over the past 12 months we have engaged and supported over **70 young people** through the programme and have had a successful **attendance rate of over 80%,** which is a real achievement given that the programme is voluntary. We have recently been successful in securing a further funding in order to scale up this project to support 200 more young people. We are working closely with the YOS team in order to secure long term funding through the ‘Turn Around’ allocated to them to ensure that every young person has the opportunity to take part in the Sports and Life Skills programme as an exit route to their time with the YOS. 4 **ACTIVE ESSEX FOUNDATION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)** ## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** ## **2. Tackling holiday inactivity and food poverty** _**Holiday activity and food programme:**_ We have continued worked in partnership with Essex County Council and Active Essex (Active Partnership) to influence the delivery of the Essex ActivAte holiday activity and food programme throughout 2022 and into 2023. We also ensured that our network of LTOs were able to support the programme as delivery partners and receive direct funding. We applied to lead the work around engaging at risk and vulnerable secondary aged young people and we were successful in this application. We worked with LTOs who are involved in the Sport and Youth Crime Prevention programme to deliver HAF clubs during the Easter, Summer and Winter 2022 school holidays. We also received funding from the HAF programme to lead the capacity building work of our LTOs to ensure they had the knowledge, training and resources to be able to deliver this programme. In 2022 our specialist HAF programme was able to deliver the following outcomes; - 4195 engaged and supported in targeted secondary interventions across the holiday period - 290 sport and physical activity sessions provided free of charge in the summer holidays - 38 of our LTOs delivering as part of the Essex ActivAte HAF programme and receiving funding to do so We are pleased to have just been awarded a further large grant for the 2023 programme. ## **3. Build the capacity of locally trusted organisations** Through the Sport and Youth Crime Prevention programme we have provided a range of training, workshops and qualifications to our network of LTOs to ensure that they have the knowledge, expertise and resources to develop their work and bring in additional funding. Training provided includes; - 10 principles of youth crime prevention - Managing challenging behaviours - Level 1 developing activities for youth at risk - Developing resilient and active young people - Practitioner Mentoring - Adverse Childhood Experiences - Theory of Change - Fundraising - Trauma Informed approach - Knife crime injuries - Gangs and youth violence training - Level 1 Sports activators In addition to the training we have provided support in partnership with StreetGames support, guidance and advice including: - help to build connections and partnerships - tailored advice - advocacy - fundraising 5 ## **ACTIVE ESSEX FOUNDATION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)** ## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** - workforce and volunteer training - research and evaluation - opportunities to network and share learning - the dissemination of insight - new ideas and innovation. ## **4. Supporting young people and children’s mental health through sport and physical activity** _**Sport and Youth Mental Health:**_ The Trustees agreed that Sport and mental health should be our next focus in terms of developing a project and securing funding. Over the past 12 months we spent time identifying and connecting with LTOs who use sport and physical activity to support young people who are suffering poor mental health. We brought 16 of them together in a share and learn network with the aim of understanding what work was already taking place, what further support was needed and together we co-produced the Sport and Youth Mental Health programme that replicated the Sport and Youth Mental Health model. In January 2023 we submitted our stage 1 application to the National Lottery, and was successful in getting through to stage 2. This will be submitted in June and we hope to have a decision by September 2023. This funding will allow us to employ 2 full time members of staff and provide training for LTOs. We will work with the Centre for Mental Health in order to develop a robust evaluation so that we can highlight the benefits of taking part in sport and physical activity can have on a young person’s mental health. ## **5. Level up participation in the popular activities of cycling, walking and running** _**Cycling and Skate Jam community events:**_ With the funding from the London Marathon Trust we were able to work with our LTOs in order to deliver skate Jam events, bike-ability and accessible cycling sessions. Over the past 12 months we have delivered: - 14 skate jam community events, that were attended by over 1500 young people - 18 community cycling workshops and bike-ability sessions to ensure that young people have the skills and confidence to ride a bike - 11 skate / bike repair stations have been fitted at skate parks across Essex - 13 mini skate jam events at Essex ActivAte HAf clubs – giving young people on free school meals the opportunity to ride and learn to ride safely as well as watching professional skate boarders, skaters and BMXers. ## **HR SUPPORT** Recruiting new members of staff meant that we needed to review and engage HR support for the organisation. We met with a number of HR specialist companies and the Board of Trustees made the decision to work with HR Essentials, an Essex based HR company. They have supported us with the development of recruitment, contracts, staff handbooks and all policies and procedures related to employing staff. 6 **ACTIVE ESSEX FOUNDATION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)** ## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The charity received total funding of £251,845 during the year ending 31[st] March 2023. Our total expenditure in 2022-23 was £396,582, as we utilised restricted funding awarded in 2021-22. ## **RESERVES POLICY** At 31 March 2023 the charity's funds totalled £578,836 of which £554,685 were restricted funds, awarded by funders for specific purposes. The reserves include funding of £325,334 awarded by the National Lottery and Essex Local Delivery Pilot for projects running to 2024-25. The unrestricted reserves of the charity totalled £24,151. Trustees annually review the reserves policy that is required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil our continuing obligations.
