Introduction from the Chair

==> picture [596 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Kids on Track has now been running for 8 years and never has our work been more important or valued.

The after-effects of Covid are plain to see with no end in sight. We continue to have children referred with elevated levels of anxiety and a plethora of physical and mental health issues.

Academic and social pressure on teenagers creates high levels of stress and often they simply do not have the resilience or fall-back system to cope.

As such we are expanding our offering – with both larger numbers of children attending our camps and an expanded Mentoring and Senior Programme.

Part of the funding for this expansion came from a fantastic fundraiser last summer organised by Friends of Kids on Track. The evening was a huge success and we reached a broader audience as well as raising funds.

Kids on Track is entirely dependent on donations and we are extremely grateful to those who have supported us financially in recent times.

Our staff and volunteers are the heartbeat of the charity and I would personally like to take this opportunity to thank them for everything in the last year.

Additionally, we are hugely indebted to Farleigh School for making their facilities available.

Finally, the year ahead will witness some changes as three of the initial board Trustees rotate out – including myself as Chair.

I am delighted to say we have found replacements of the highest calibre and the board of Trustees of Kids on Track has never been better prepared for the task ahead.

Very best wishes James Coulton

Objectives And Activities

Kids on Track continues to make significant strides in broadening the activity options available to Andover children. With a steadfast commitment to providing structured enrichment programmes we aim to create a safe and empowering environment for children aged 8-16, fostering essential qualities such as confidence, resilience and perseverance.

==> picture [596 x 171] intentionally omitted <==

Programme Expansion

Kids on Track originally offered non-residential holiday clubs to children from disadvantaged areas of Andover, but the programme has evolved significantly and we now offer a diverse array of opportunities, including after-school clubs, inspiring trips, and invaluable mentoring support. As the charity has expanded, so has our dedication to enriching the lives of the children we help. Our core objective remains focused on improving their mental wellbeing and ensuring equal opportunities so that every local child can pursue and achieve their aspirations.

Long-Term Support

We embark on a transformative journey with children from the age of 9 to 11, extending our support until they have completed a successful transition to Sixth Form College. This comprehensive and enduring approach allows us to make a tangible and lasting impact on the lives of these young individuals. Referrals are received from social workers, support workers, and schools, identifying children who lack the financial means or parental support to access extracurricular activities independently.

Programme Highlights

==> picture [596 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Junior Programme

Upon joining Kids on Track, children are invited to participate in four camps annually until they reach the age of twelve. Over the course of three years, they immerse themselves in a diverse array of over 100 activities. From boxing to drumming, from the culinary delights of cooking to the creativity of tee shirt making, and from the art of pumpkin carving to the world of circus skills -our camps provide a rich tapestry of experiences. These activities are carefully curated to enhance their self-belief, resilience, and cultural capital, unlocking their potential and broadening their horizons. For those that discover new interests we encourage them to explore these further helping them find local clubs and paying subscription fees and transport costs.

Senior Programme

In 2022 we established a robust Mentoring Programme, providing one-to-one mentoring support to approximately 10 children. These children had graduated from the Junior Programme and were considered to be particularly vulnerable or keen for further support. Being given a Mentor they benefited from a broad range of activities designed to develop life skills and enhance their cultural capital as well as forming a supportive relationship with their Mentor.

It was decided that all the children who had graduated from the Junior Programme would benefit from the very successful activity programme being offered to the Mentored children. Therefore a Senior Programme was created as a progression from the Junior Programme. At this point the Mentoring programme was not large enough to provide all children with a mentor but they could still take part in the activities designed to build trust, self-confidence, self-belief, resilience and a positive attitude to new opportunities. During 2023, building on the relationships that had developed in the Junior Programme, we increased the capacity of the Mentoring Programme (the after-school clubs, the life skills workshops, the cultural activities) to offer them to the 20 children who graduated into the newly formed Senior Programme, with or without Mentors.

Consequently we have stronger engagement with the children, all of whom now benefit from the enrichment programme designed for Years 8-11. As a result of this expansion, over the next four years we anticipate a significant increase in the numbers of children passing through the Senior Programme.

Mentoring Programme

The Mentoring Programme falls within the Senior Programme but is now more focussed on the one-to-one relationship between mentor and mentee. The Mentor is encouraged to identify the Mentee’s special skills or needs and to develop a relationship with the parent so that the child is properly supported. Our feedback is very much valued by social services and the schools as we have unprecedented and unusual access to the children in their lives outside school; additionally, we are not perceived by the parent as “an institution” and are purely a positive addition to their children’s life. Equally, we are able to provide a better mentoring service as we have sight of other areas of the child’s life and the challenges they are facing.

The responsibility that this brings to the Mentor is not under-estimated and we continue to build a strong support network for them. They undergo annual training in how to identify safeguarding issues and there is a swift, robust reporting structure including regular access to the Mentoring Team at Kids on Track. We also offer termly support meetings where mentors can benefit from sharing experiences and learning from their peers as well as receiving relevant training in areas such as mental health first aid and child psychology.

Our Values

We put young people and children

Everything we do starts with their needs. We believe every child has the right to feel safe at home, at school and in their community and it is our role to help them find the support they need to achieve this.

“I feel noticed, I feel someone cares about me.”

We believe in unconditional positive regard

We always see the best in our children and young people. We identify their strengths and build on these. “I have someone that believes in me and I have a sense of belonging.”

We create safe spaces for young people and children

We believe that all children should have the opportunity to try new activities and make friends in a safe, encouraging and judgement free environment. “I have taken part in a wide range of experiences and this has helped me to understand what I like and what I don’t like and helped me to be less afraid of trying new things.”

We challenge inequality, and discrimination

We believe that all children should have an equal opportunity to achieve success. We identify barriers and develop strategies to overcome these barriers. “I feel included and that I have the same right as others to succeed.”

We are relationship based

We are building authentic connections and relationships. “I have someone who genuinely cares about me and my future.”

We take a multi-agency approach

We work closely with schools, children’s services, parents, guardians and other adults involved in the children and young people’s lives to ensure that we deliver maximum impact. We are transparent and share information wherever possible. “I feel the support I am given is consistent.”

We respect all voices, expertise and experiences of children

We show a genuine interest in their lives and give them choices about what support they need. We listen to their thoughts and create opportunities for them to take part in activities in which they are interested. “I feel heard and acknowledged. My opinions are important.”

We are constantly seeking improvement

We are always following the latest research and reviewing our practice to ensure that we deliver the highest quality service that maximises the impact we can have with the resources available. “I understand that Kids on Track is a professional organisation that is always looking to improve.”

We believe best results can be achieved when every e is having a good time

Kids on Track aims to bring an element of fun to everything they do. “I love going to Kids on Track because I have a great time.”

Our Volunteers

Our volunteers are the heartbeat of Kids on Track. Their boundless energy and enthusiasm infuse every programme, creating an environment brimming with positivity and inspiration. Through their selfless dedication, they ensure that each child's experience is personalized, fostering a sense of belonging, support, and encouragement.

Our volunteers are not just supporters; they are strong role models who exemplify our core values. With their positive attitude, they inspire children to approach challenges with determination and resilience. Their willingness to embrace new experiences encourages children to step out of their comfort zones and discover their potential. Together, we create an atmosphere where success becomes an attainable goal.

==> picture [196 x 308] intentionally omitted <==

From our youngest to our most seasoned volunteers, age knows no bounds at Kids on Track. The intergenerational nature of our volunteer squad adds rich variety and depth to our programmes. With a wide range of perspectives and experiences, our volunteers bring diverse skills, wisdom, and a passion for making a difference. They forge connections across generations, fostering an inclusive and supportive community that celebrates the power of collective effort.

We extend our deepest gratitude to every volunteer who has dedicated their time, skills, and passion to Kids on Track. Their unwavering commitment has elevated the impact of our programmes and has been instrumental in the growth and success we have achieved. Without our remarkable volunteers, Kids on Track would not be the vibrant and transformative organization it is today.

Our Impact

Junior Programme

During 2023, over 75 vulnerable children from Andover came to our holiday clubs programme attending 4 camps per year and trying over 30 different activities. The best evidence of the impact we are having is that the children keep coming back. It is this ongoing interaction that help us have long term benefits.

It is important to us that we listen to the Children. One way we monitor impact is to ask the children as few questions during the camps.

The following percentages were answers of very much or mostly to these questions:

I like going to Kids on Track- 100%

The volunteers are kind and helpful - 100 %

I like trying new things- 96%

Kids on Track has helped me become more confident - 86%

Kids on Track has helped me work as a team - 100%

Kids on Track has helped me make more friends - 100%

Our Impact

==> picture [596 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Senior Programme

After the children graduate from the camps they are offered after school clubs. A number of these are run by Kids on Track volunteers and provide continuity from the camps. They offer encouragement and support in a safe environment, whilst enabling the young people to be more selective about the activities with which they engage. Over the last year these have included:

Swimming - over 20 children have learned to swim through Kids on Track. Craft and Cupcakes - an opportunity to relax, unwind and learn simple craft skills with friends Cookery - healthy eating recipes that are easy to create at home

For those children that have a particular passion we will also pay for externally-run after school clubs and arrange the logistics of getting to and from the clubs for those that need it. This year these have included:

Total 2023
Swimming 20
Dance 10
Football 6
Guitar 1
Rugby 1
Tennis 4
Theatre(Stage Coach) 5

Life Skills Workshops have proved extremely beneficial this year; we invited Dr Maryhan Baker, renowned child psychologist, to return and deliver workshops on Managing Big Emotions and Mike Nicolson, and educational professioal with over 20 years of teaching to deliver a workshop on Progressive Masculinity. This aimed to counter the toxic effects of social media and negative or misogynistic role models online.

There was also a successful Personal Presentation workshop and trips to a racing stable, a nature club and fishing lessons.

Chalke Valley History Festival kindly donated tickets so the children interested in history were able to experience this fun and educational day out.

During the summer holidays (a particularly bleak time for many of our children when their friends are enjoying foreign holidays, local trips and outings) we took the children to a variety of plays held at The Lights including the ballet and The Life of Pi. The experience of live theatre provoked interesting conversations afterwards and has encouraged some of our children to engage in productions at the local theatre themselves.

Impact is difficult to measure but it is rewarding to hear the children start conversations with:

Our Impact

==> picture [596 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Mentoring Programme

In 2021 we introduced our mentoring programme with these aims:

• To provide additional support to those children and young people that have specific issues with their mental health, such as difficulty making friends, challenging circumstances at home or low self-esteem;

• To provide guidance to young people in making decisions about their future education and career choices.

In 2023 over 30 children were part of our mentoring programme receiving over 900 hours of face to face mentoring.

An extremely generous grant from the Worshipful Company of Mercers has helped us to develop a structured framework for our mentoring which includes workshops to develop social and emotional skills, revision support and life skills as well as cultural activities and trips.

Over the past year we have been to see historically based films such as Operation Mincemeat, watched Shakespeare, attended a history festival, spent the day with the army and watched Southampton scrape a draw against Manchester City. We also recognise that being a mentor can be a difficult job and we have put in place a support programme that ensures mentors have all the resources they need to be effective.

Impact is difficult to assess in the short term:

• Three mentees reached 16 years old and so graduated from our mentoring programme. All went to college though one chose to pursue an apprenticeship.

• Five mentees dropped out of the programme because their personal circumstances were too challenging for them to engage in the Mentoring programme. Four of these are also disengaging with school.

• Twenty two mentees are still meeting regularly with their mentors. All of these have attended after school clubs, been taken on trips and visits and had the opportunity to build their self-esteem by working with renowned psychologist Dr. Maryhan Baker. All except one are regularly attending school and engaging with their lessons.

12

Our impact can be described best by a letter from one of our parents:

“He loves coming to Kids on Track, and he is always so positive and happy when he returns. Thank you so much for all you do for all the children, it is the best thing that has happened for all of Andover’s children and families. You show them a different world, your kindness and empathy for families that struggle, and for giving the children chances to experience things that they would never have. Today, the world is a scary place to live in, especially in Andover, but Kids on Track are giving the children hope, support, and a chance to have a better start in life so from the bottom of my heart - thank you.”

13

Plans for the Future

==> picture [596 x 173] intentionally omitted <==

Last year we fulfilled our plans of putting in place a sustainable staffing structure with compensation to attract high calibre people but whilst retaining affordability. A fundraising committee has been set up and at the end of 2023 the Friends of Kids on Track held an incredible event to help fund our growth plans.

A large driving squad is now in place to enable the children to get to and from the activities on the Senior Programme as well as picking up and dropping off daily for the camps on the Junior Programme.

In recent years Kids on Track has grown rapidly not only in the number of children that we support but also in the quality and quantity of support that is provided to each individual. Our Junior Programme continues to thrive with an increasing number of children attending camps regularly for over two years and waiting lists of children keen to join us. The majority of young people in our Senior Programme meet with Kids on Track at least once every fortnight and more intensive support is available for those with specific challenges to overcome.

Over the next year we have plans for growth which include:

14

Fundraising

Kids on Track relies on generous fundraising support from individuals, grant-making bodies, corporate sponsors and other organisations to enable us to deliver impact via our charitable activities. In 2023 we raised £231,442. We have a wide range of donors and are not reliant on any one significant source for our income.

We are particularly grateful to those organisations and individuals that have provided regular income over a number of years:

• Over the last few years the generosity of Allegra’s Ambition has enabled us to take a group of teenagers for a three day residential trip to Magdalen Farm in Somerset. • The Dumbreck Foundation is also a long term supporter paying towards our after school clubs. • The Laing Family Trust has provided ongoing support and this has enabled us to pay for an administrator to organise the Senior Programme. • In September the Friends of Kids on Track held an incredible circus themed event which raised over £170,000. These funds will go towards our goals of restructuring, expanding the Senior Programme and enabling more local children to become part of Kids on Track.

The charity does not engage in large scale public fundraising and does not use professional fundraisers.

The charity observes and complies with the relevant fundraising regulations and codes. During the year there was no non-compliance with these regulations and codes and the Trust received no complaints relating to its fundraising. Our fundraising ethos and practice is one that specifically avoids any activity or behaviour that might be an unreasonable intrusion on a person’s privacy. We value our funders and supporters highly and ensure our fundraising team and those who raise funds for us are trained and fully aware of our approach.

Structure, Governance and Management

Kids on Track is a charitable incorporated organisation and was registered as a charity on 10 May 2016. The company was established under memorandum of association, which established the objectives and powers of the charitable organisation. Trustees are recruited based on the skills they will bring to the organisation and are elected to the post by the current trustees.

The day to day running of the charity is delegated to the operational committee. In order to ensure that the charity is sustainable and has the capacity to grow it is felt that in the future this committee should be made up of:

All of these would be offered on a part time basis and remunerated.

A recruitment process is under way for those roles not currently in place.

Financial Review

==> picture [596 x 71] intentionally omitted <==

Statement of Financial Activity

Net income for the year was £231,441 (2022: £98,237). Total Expenditure was £74,276 (2022: £84,394). The significant increase in revenue was due to a large fundraiser held in September. At the year-end the Trust held funds of £308,397 (2022: 151,232).

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. Trustees are committed to generating sufficient reserves to support current organisational activities to meet the following requirements:

• Safeguarding the charity’s ability to deliver camps and other services, in the event of delays in receipt of grants or other income.

• Providing a financial cushion against risk and future uncertainties.

To this end, the Trustees have established a reserves policy, that is reviewed annually, to ensure that the appropriate levels of reserves are maintained and Kids on Track is able to continue to fund its activities without unnecessary disruption, as a result of peaks and troughs in income. This reserve will enable Kids on Track to continue to run for six months without any additional income.

Risk Management

The Trustees have a risk management strategy that comprises:

• Risk assessments for each activity / event clearly communicated to all involved.

Kids on Track places the safeguarding of its beneficiaries as a top priority; as such there is no appetite for accepting risk in this regard. Staff are provided with regular safeguarding training and we have a robust policy based on best practice processes and procedures. The Trustees consider that the need to attract and retain high quality staff and volunteers is essential and the failure to do this would be a key risk for the charity. The Trustees regularly review their

approach to resourcing and aim to make working with Kids on Track a fun and rewarding experience. Failure to raise sufficient funds is also considered a key risk. Our fundraising strategy is reviewed at each meeting and the charity has a five year financial plan to ensure financial security.

17

Trustee Responsibilities

Our Trustees are responsible for preparing the report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the Trustees are aware:

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom, governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
