ACTIVE ESSEX FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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, we 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:

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

Grants are awarded to local organisations that are able to deliver projects which meet the charity's aims. Grant applications are considered by project lead teams and reviewed against project outcomes and aims. All grants are subject to grant agreements between the charity and the recipient.

Volunteers support project delivery in localities across Essex such as young leaders and session support.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Throughout the financial year of 2023-24, 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.

ACTIVE ESSEX FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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.

We have continued to significantly increase the income to the Foundation, which will continue into the next three financial years. We have been successful with a number of new funding applications, including smaller localised funding pots such Safer Streets, Sport England Small Grants and more recently the PFCC Community Safety Development Fund as well as large funders in the National Lottery where we have secured £496,929 towards our new Sports and Youth Mental Health project for the next 3 years.

We have continued to grow the Sport and Youth Crime Prevention network of LTOs across Essex, Southend and Thurrock, with a focus on scaling up the support, capacity building and up-skilling of these 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 80 organisations working with us to use sport and physical activity to support young people most in need.

We have also been strengthening our relationships with Youth Justice System partners. Through these relationships 3 targeted intervention programmes have been funded. These programmes include Girls Inspired (formerly Girls with Goals), BoxSmart on The Ropes and Sports and Lifeskills. Funding from the Youth Justice Service (formerly Youth Offending Service), Essex Violence and Vulnerability Unit, Probation Services, Thurrock Youth Justice Service and Colchester City Council has enabled us to pilot 3 embedded roles and develop a central system where young people can be referred and supported into positive LTO activities.

We are also working closely with our partners Active Essex (the Active Partnership for Greater Essex) and 16 LTOs who specialise in using sport and physical activity to support positive mental health in young people across Essex, in order to co-design and develop a Sport and Youth Mental Health Programme. We were successful in securing funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and Essex Local Delivery Pilot, which has enabled us to recruit a project lead and project coordinator who were in place by 30 March 2024. This project is supported by national partners Street Games, Believe Perform and The Centre for Mental Health over the next 3 years. We will replicate the Sport and Youth Crime Prevention programme with a mental health focus. The project was also successful in securing £50,000 from Startwell to focus on the development of 12 week projects working in the North of Essex, which we hope to replicate in other areas as the project progresses.

Following the success and popularity of Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) with Essex partners, in partnership with Active Essex, we have trained 12 guides and 12 stewards to continue the development of ABCD across the Essex ecosystem. Through this network we have developed introductory full and half day workshops that partners can purchase from the foundation to support their professional development and understanding of a strengths based approach. As at 31 March 2024, 4 internal workshops had been held with 1 partner purchasing a workshop at £1,500.

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:

This work brings 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 80, 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 seen the Foundation secure funding from criminal justice partners for 3 specialist embedded roles, 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:

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 partnership with Essex Youth Justice Services (YJS), ECC Involvement Service, Probation Services, Reroute and gives young people the support and opportunity to engage in a range of sport and physical activities, alongside our ‘plus’ offer, including life skills such as living independently, shopping on a budget, CV writing and interview skills.

ACTIVE ESSEX FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Over the past 12 months we have engaged and supported over 450 young people through the programme and have had a successful attendance rate of 80%, with 56% attending between 1 and 8 sessions and 62% of young people increasing their engagement within sessions which is a real achievement given that the programme is voluntary.

We have recently been successful in securing a further funding in order to continue this project for young people involved in the Youth Justice System including through the Essex Turnaround programme and Thurrock Turnaround with continuation into 2024-25.

We are working closely with the partner teams in order to secure long term funding 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 youth justice system.

Following the success of our Sports Navigator, Reroute (a voluntary programme that aims to work with young adults aged 17-25 at the ‘teachable’ moment following arrest for one of four trigger offences including young people and young adults who have been arrested in possession of a knife) have taken on additional staff who will be trained by our team and inducted into the Sports and Lifeskills project as a way to engage young people known to their team. This has demonstrated a long term system change and moving sport and physical activity into business as usual.

In the 2023 – 2024 financial year our Sports and Lifeskills programme offered more than sport and physical activity. Young people engaged in the project through:

2. Tackling holiday inactivity and food poverty

Holiday activity and food programme: We have continued working 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 2023 and into 2024. We also ensured that our network of LTOs were able to support the programme as delivery partners and receive direct funding.

We again 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 2023 school holidays as well as the smaller May, October and February half terms. 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 2023 our specialist HAF programme was able to deliver the following outcomes;

We are pleased to have just been awarded a further large grant for the 2024 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;

In addition to the training we have provided support in partnership with Street Games support, guidance and advice including:

425 representatives from LTOs engaged in the training offer through the Sport and Youth Crime Prevention programme.

LTOs and youth justice system partners were supported in 2023-2024 to connect and collaborate through the provision of 5 networking opportunities including the large scale ‘Power of Sport’ conference that was supported by the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, The Head of Youth Policy Unit for the Ministry of Justice, members of the Violence and Vulnerability Unit, senior Police, Fire, Probation and Youth Offending Service and Fatima Whitbread MBE. In 2024-25 we aim to replicate the networking events and have confirmed a second Power of Sport conference for 2024.

4. Supporting young people and children’s mental health through sport and physical activity

Sport and Youth Mental Health: In November 2023 we were successful in securing 3 years of funding from The National Lottery Community Fund and Essex Local Delivery Pilot with the aim of supporting LTOs in delivering Sport and Physical Activity, plus mental health support, to children and young people in Southend, Essex and Thurrock. The project will initially work with 16 LTOs with the aim of building their capacity, upskilling and training staff to work with young people experiencing mental health challenges.

The project will focus on engaging 2,000 children and young people aged 5-18 years old. With the support of LTOs the project will have:

In March 2024 the project lead and project coordinator were in post to begin the delivery of the project and agreements with Believe Perform and Centre for Mental Health had been established.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The charity's total income for the year ended 31[st] March 2024 was £787,246, of which £776,730 was restricted funding awarded by funders for specific purposes, including projects in the 2024-25 financial year. Our total expenditure in 2023-24 was £635,285 resulting in a net surplus in the year of £151,961, of which £148,737 related to restricted funds and £3,224 to unrestricted funds.

Reserves Policy

As at 31 March 2024 the charity's reserves totalled £730,797, of which £703,422 were restricted funds, and £27,375 were unrestricted funds. The charity has five employees all of whom are currently on fixed term contracts funded through restricted funds. Trustees annually review the reserves policy to ensure that reserves are adequate to fulfill our continuing obligations. This year, given the recent and anticipated growth in the charity's activities, the Trustees concluded that the previous reserves policy of maintaining a minimum of £10,000 of unrestricted funds was no longer sufficient and have agreed a target for free reserves of £55,000.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
