## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
**The Kids Network, founded in 2016 with a clear purpose: to help children live the lives they deserve. We exist because children’s mental health is at crisis point due to inequality, minoritisation and isolation.**
We are committed to providing tailored, early intervention for London’s children aged 8-11-years who face the most pervasive barriers to accessing the support they urgently need in school, at home and from other services. We reach them before they reach crisis through partnerships with primary schools with high-need in areas of high-disadvantage.
We achieve this innovatively by tapping into the time, needs and skills of adults from the child’s local community and mobilising, training and extensively supporting them to be committed high-quality volunteer mentors for one year.
three-year COVID-19 response strategy, we are proud to report that we have supported over 450 children across seven London boroughs while consolidating our learnings and creating a three-year strategy for sustainable expansion which has been led by our children, volunteer mentors, school partners, community partners, whole staff team and board of trustees.
impact London’s children who experience poverty the most, our mission to protect their wellbeing and futures has never been more vital, and together we can protect thousands of little Londoners when they have never needed us more.
Our proven transformational impact, uniquely child-led, community-based model and the intensified needs and vulnerability of children has led to a 245% increase in demand for our service since 2019, which we have continued to meet.

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
## **Charity purposes as set out in our governing document:**
_‘To help children and young people to advance through life providing mentoring support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals. The secondary objective, running parallel to the first will create a volunteer hub, encouraging peer to peer support, maximum engagement and community activity.”_
Our trustees are aware of the commission’s public benefit guidance and take it into account when making a decision, to which the guidance is relevant.
## **Our activities, projects and services:**
We believe that every child should get to live the life that they deserve.
Our mission is to create meaningful connections in our communities, supporting children through mentoring to feel happy and confident about themselves and their futures.
Our programme provides children who have adverse childhood experiences (ACE) with a volunteer mentor, who collaborate in delivering weekly child-led, trauma informed sessions.
Through our programme, children build confidence and resilience and develop the tools to manage feelings for a positive future.
Our unique mentoring model is built around:
Children and families in London who have been affected by systems of oppression, living in cyclical poverty and inequality. They may distrust the other formal sources of support due to bad experiences in the past.
Schools and communities who often are over burdened with the overwhelming needs of their communities, and under resourced to provided one to one holistic support vital to children’s development.
Adults in a disconnected London who may be lacking purpose and meaningful connection in their lives but with the time and motivation to give back and become a volunteer mentor.
The Kids Network supports children aged 8-11 at a crucial time in their lives - in the lead up to and often during the transition from primary into secondary school.
Page 03
@THE_KIDSNETWORK
Our aim is to support children early, before crisis point, working with those who could most benefit from a trusted adult in their lives. We do this in partnership with over 50 partner primary schools, local councils, social workers, Family Early Help Teams and local charities.
The Kids Network programme has now been established across the following seven London boroughs experiencing high need: Hammersmith and Fulham, Brent, Camden, Islington, Hackney, Southwark and Lambeth where we deliver our activities and services.
## **Our programme objectives:**
## 1. Increase Wellbeing
Through harnessing existing strengths within communities, we provide support for children before they reach crisis point. For many reasons, the children we support are often struggling socially, emotionally and academically. Our child-led, trauma informed mentoring model provides the protective factors and fun required for a happy childhood and bright future.
## 2. Develop tools for the future
We provide individualised support to empower children to develop tools to tackle present and future challenges. Our volunteer mentors are equipped with best in class training, a bank of resources, a peer community and ongoing support from our team so that they are able to support their mentee exactly where they are at.
## 3. Create connections
Through new mentoring relationships between people whose paths would not normally cross, we are building more inclusive, equal and just communities for children to flourish. Having a strong community connections allows us to understand the context for children better and create sustainable support in the long term.

## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
## **2022 Highlights:**
2022 saw both an increase in demand for our services and a higher level of need for children. Coming out of the pandemic and into a deepening cost of living crisis has exacerbated the concerns for our children and communities.
London which we are proud to share.
## Key achievements of 2022:
Reaching 456 children from 53 partner schools living in extremely challenging circumstances
Providing almost 9,000 hours of delivery including mentoring sessions, mentor training, workshops, mentor meet ups, and mentor reviews
Our mentors and mentees holding 5,203 sessions, over the course of the year, with cohorts starting at various points
Working in partnership with the NSPCC to continue to strengthen and prioritise safeguarding for children
Joni Warner, our Southwark Programme Manager winning ‘Volunteer Coordinator of the Year Award’ from Community Southwark
Bucking trends, we generated almost 800 applications from prospective volunteer mentors who wanted to join our network
strategy
Working in consortium to deliver a capacity building to grassroots organisations in Hammersmith & Fulham in ‘mentoring best practice’

## Learnings:
Team capacity is critical to what we can achieve - we need more of it to be sustainable
Children’s voices are crucial to how and why we grow
We need to revisit our impact strategy to ensure our outcomes align with our strategic goals as we look forward
Our programme model numbers needed to reduce, given the external pressures and growing safeguarding demands
## What we must continue:
Our top rate 1:1 support of mentors
Building on networks and communities to support our work
Our strong culture of safeguarding and anti-oppression

@THE_KIDSNETWORK
## **Achievement against objectives**
compounded by the cost of living crisis, the need for our work has never been more urgent. Safeguarding cases on the rise saw our team working tirelessly to navigate their complexity as we continued to prioritise children’s wellbeing and safety above all else.
Our commitment to our mission has been driving force of the three pillars of our 2020-2022 strategy:
## 1. Child-centred mentoring
## 2. Amplifying unheard voices
## 3. Sustainability as an organisation
Below outlines some of our achievements against the objectives we set ourselves, and some of the learnings too.
The Kids Network could not do this without strong foundations, and that begins by putting children at the heart of our decision making, as the decision makers.
That is why we not only provided vital one-to-one mentoring for these children in a community setting, but also created a platform for their voices to be heard, built an extensive network of strategic partnerships, diversified our income.
## Key 2022 aims
Grow our reach and support 600 children across London Invest in our staff team to maintain our high quality of service Double our income to meet the growing needs of our children
|High Level KPIs|2021 Actual|2022 Actual|2023 Target|
|---|---|---|---|
|Children Supported|393|456|650|
|Staf|10|12|26|
|London Boroughs|5|7|9|
Our performance against our aims was a brilliant success in the face of multiple challenges. Firstly, 2022 proved to be a year of challenging staff recruitment, with the ‘Great Resignation’ to contend with, the market for recruiting qualified staff members has never been more tough. This meant that we were operating at 60% capacity throughout the year.
Despite this gap in resource, we managed to achieve almost 75% of our targets, which is testament to the hard work, passion and planning of the brilliant team who make #MentorMagic happen.
@THE_KIDSNETWORK
## **2022 Impact**
The Kids Network is proud to have produced our 2022 impact report which sits alongside our 2022 Annual Report. You can view this here to see the full extent of our work.
Supporting children who needed us most was a priority for The Kids Network.
- 68% were on free school meals, an increase of 8% from the year before, meaning they are growing up in London in households where the total income is less than £7,400. (Nationwide, 21% of children are eligible for FSM).
- 54% of children had Adverse Childhood Experiences.
- 23% had special educational needs.
- 45% of our children had negative school experiences including low attainment, risk of gang grooming and bullying.
wellbeing, 54% of the children we worked with had no other services involved in their lives.
concerns amongst the children we worked with; managing 62 serious concerns in 2022. Additionally in 2022, we managed and where necessary, acted upon over 269 concerns.
Despite the backgrounds and circumstances of our mentees, they were able to move through coping, to adapting, to thriving in their young lives, prepared to transition into secondary school.
Some of our key impact statistics as told by children:
- 83% reported positive wellbeing

## **Looking to the future**
Looking to 2023 and beyond, we are so proud of what we have achieved, but know that there is more to do. We spent much of 2022 co-creating a new three year strategy which would set out our vision and growth plans for the next chapter of our work.
Our hope is this will be published and be made publicly available on our website. For 2023, our key aims are as below.
This new vision will see us make changes to our delivery model, set out a new Theory of Change for our programme, but also for our mentors as volunteers, and introduce a new Volunteering Team into the organisation to lay the foundations for our growth plans.
Some of our key strategic objectives are to:
Develop a three year Impact Strategy to sit alongside our organisational strategy
- Using the GLAs ‘Mentoring Best Practice Framework’ to develop internal quality benchmarking for our programmes
- Continue to grow and build our excellent track record of partnership working
- Capacity build 10 grassroots organisations and establish a community network of mentoring best practice
Pilot a ‘behaviour change’ campaign to change the face of volunteering in London
- To reimagine our mentoring training programme to track a strong outcomes framework for our volunteers

## **Contribution from volunteers**
Without our volunteers, The Kids Network simply could not exist. We want to recognise just a few of local heroes who make our work and the incredible impact possible.
## Jahira
In 2022, Jahira was an accountant by day and a champion of children’s voices for an hour a week, each week. Jahira’s love for numbers, cooking and cycling meant she was a perfect match for an 11-year-old with similar interests. Over the year, Jahira supported him with moving from Year 6 to Year 7 as well as changes in his family dynamic at home.
She always ensured and her mentee bonded over a shared love for cycling and they would spend many sessions riding about, exploring familiar spaces alongside discovering new routes around London. Jahira often encouraged her mentee to lead the adventures in his local park – a great example of being child-led! She ensured sessions were geared towards her mentee’s interests and researched amazing activity ideas;
Jahira introduced her mentee to VR, ice-skating and squash! She encouraged her mentee to persevere; though he really enjoyed squash, at first he was frustrated that he wasn’t as skilled as he would have liked to be immediately. They visited the squash court often, and her mentee only got better and better, even hoping to join the squash team at secondary school.
After volunteering 60 hours over a year, she supported her mentee’s skills of patience, perseverance and instilled the confidence to give something new a go, setting him up in the best way to start the next chapter of his schooling.

## Koby
Koby grew up in Southeast London and has a background in marketing and advertising. He is very creative and has a great passion for music, as well as various sports. Koby decided to be a mentor, after he reflected on his own personal experience growing up and understood the challenges children face at this age. He wanted to be that positive role model for a young person, supporting them to feel confident and provide a listening ear through times of change in their life.
Koby was matched with Isaiah, and they completed an incredible 88 hours of mentoring time together! During this time, Koby was an integral part of Isaiah’s life, as he navigated the difficult transition from primary school to secondary school. He was a really fun, creative and patient mentor, who introduced Isaiah to new and exciting activities in his local community. As the year went by, Koby built a strong and trusting relationship with Isaiah and he started to open up more about his feelings and challenges he was facing. He gave Isaiah an outlet, someone to talk to every week and not only validate his emotions, but also learn to channel these into something positive. Isaiah expressed that Koby made him feel happier every time he went out with him!
The impact Koby made on Isaiah was also noticed by his caregiver. They said _“Isaiah has really enjoyed his time with Koby. They have built such a great bond during their sessions. Thank you for giving my son this opportunity and Koby has been fantastic with supporting Isaiah in his transition into secondary this year and giving him advice and support”._
Koby has also been a great advocate for The Kids Network, going above and beyond by talking about his experience as a mentor to help us spread our name across London. He even mentioned us on some of his TV appearances. Thank you Koby for being such an incredible advocate for our work and ambassador.

## Jess
At the time of being a mentor, Jess was part of the civil service fast stream. She came to TKN with a lot of experience of working with children from different backgrounds and is passionate about helping young people in her local community.
Jess and her mentee had 38 sessions, totalling 67 hours of 1:1 mentoring support. Not only did Jess give time to her mentee, she encouraged a friend to become a mentor and created an opportunity for TKN to present at her workplace about volunteering and social mobility. Jess facilitated numerous new opportunities for her mentee, including cinema trips, sight-seeing in Central London, gaming at a virtual reality centre and visiting a fun fair.
By having regular sessions and providing a safe space to chat, usually over a game of table tennis, Jess had an incredible impact on J. Her mentee was referred due to high levels of anxiety about attending school. By talking through his concerns and fears about school and celebrating the times that he did attend, over the year J’s attendance rose from approximately 1 day per week, to attending nearly every day. His school described him as a “different child”, with the most notable change being his increase in confidence.

## FINANCIAL REVIEW
## **Charity position**
success in securing much needed income for our important work.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
## **Reserves Policy**
obligations. It excludes restricted income funds, tangible fixed assets and any investment funds. Reserves should be held to service an unexpected need for funds, covering unforeseen day-to-day operational costs, a shortfall in income or to fulfil other obligations.
Reserves are set bi-annually, according to our budgeted income and against our obligations for continuous funding of all costs associated with the ongoing operations of TKN. Reserves are intended to retain sufficient funds to support the core activities of the organization if a significant drop in funding were to materialize, as well as ensure an orderly closure of the charity in the event of unplanned insolvency.
associated with running the charity. This has been calculated based on staff notice periods which range in duration from 4 to 12 weeks. This is currently estimated to be a minimum of £174,000 based on the 2023 budget.
In the instance that the reserves position falls below our stated policy, we will consider taking appropriate action to improve TKN’s position. We will also take into consideration that TKN may on occasion fall below target due to fluctuating income cycles throughout the year, timing differences to expected grant bids, as well as other temporary factors that may not need further action.
Reserves are held openly and presented in a transparent way. Reserve levels will be evaluated at least quarterly by the Funding and Finance Committee and reported on to the Trustees at least bi-annually each year. The committee is obligated to raise any issues in relation to excessive or depleted reserves directly with the Trustees. The policy will be reviewed at least once each year when budgets and activity for the year is planned.
