Objectives and activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The advancement of good citizenship and civil society by advancing the knowledge and engagement of young people in the democratic and political process.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	My Life My Say exists to advance education and civic participation by enabling young people to engage meaningfully with democracy, public decision-making, and civic life. During the period from May 2024 to April 2025, the charity delivered its work for the public benefit through a coherent, four- stage programme designed to increase access to democratic engagement, build youth leadership capacity, support informed civic participation, and strengthen policy through youth insight. Step 1: Increasing Access to Democratic Engagement At the core of My Life My Say’s work is a commitment to reducing barriers that prevent young people, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, from engaging with democracy. The charity does this by creating inclusive, accessible spaces where young people can explore political and social issues in ways that feel relevant, safe, and empowering. During the reporting period, My Life My Say continued to deliver its internationally recognised Democracy Café programme across the UK. DemocracyCafés reimagine

the 17th-century coffee house as a modern civic space, enabling young people to share perspectives, develop confidence, and engage directly with decision-makers. Developed in collaboration with the London School of Economics, the methodology prioritises participation from young people who are least likely to engage in traditional political settings. Between May 2024 and April 2025, the charity delivered 32 Democracy Cafés, including sessions with local authorities, government departments, and at the main UK political party conferences. Alongside this place-based engagement, My Life My Say delivered its flagship Next Gen Conference, the UK’s leading youth democracy summit. Next Gen brings together hundreds of young people with senior political leaders, policymakers, campaigners, cultural figures, and academics from across the political spectrum. The conference is intentionally designed to combine political access with cultural relevance, lowering barriers to participation and fostering trust between young people and institutions. Importantly, these events function not only as engagement opportunities but also as structured consultation spaces, generating insight that informs policy and strategy development. Step 2: Building Youth Leadership Capacity My Life My Say’s engagement work is underpinned by sustained investment in young people through The Squad, the charity’s national leadership and community programme. The Squad provides clear pathways for young people to deepen their involvement, develop leadership skills, and apply these skills in civic and community contexts.

During the period, the Squad Leadership Programme continued to recruit and support cohorts of young people through a structured, year-long curriculum. The programme focuses on young people from underrepresented backgrounds and equips participants with skills in communication,

advocacy, community organising, media engagement, and systems thinking. Squad members are supported to take on active roles across the charity’s work, including facilitating Democracy Cafés, contributing to national campaigns, speaking in the media, and engaging directly with policymakers. Alongside the formal leadership programme, the wider Squad network continued to function as a national community of practice, enabling peer learning, collaboration, and sustained civic participation. This approach ensures that engagement translates into long-term leadership capacity rather than one-off involvement. Step 3: Supporting Informed Civic Participation A central charitable purpose of My Life My Say is to support young people to better understand democratic processes and to participate confidently and responsibly, particularly through voting. The charity’s civic education and voter engagement work is non-partisan and grounded in the principle that participation must be accessible, relevant, and embedded in young people’s everyday lives. During the reporting period, My Life My Say led the Give An X voter registration campaign in the lead-up to the July 2024 General Election. The campaign combined creative digital content, grassroots activity, and cross-sector partnerships to engage young people at scale. It formed part of a broader civic education approach, including voter registration guidance, awareness of voter ID requirements, and peer-led messaging delivered by young people themselves.

In April 2024, My Life My Say also acted as national coordinator of National Voter Registration Day, delivering a UK-wide, nonpartisan mobilisation effort encouraging young people to register to vote. This work was designed to normalise democratic participation and build long-term civic habits, rather than focusing solely on short-term electoral outcomes. Following the General

		Election, preparatory work continued for future civic participation initiatives, including ensuring young peoples’ voices were heard in Votes at 16 policy discussions and engagement around devolved and local elections. Step 4: Strengthening Policy Through Youth Insight The final stage of My Life My Say’s theory of change focuses on ensuring that young people’s perspectives meaningfully inform public decision-making, strengthening democratic systems and outcomes for society as a whole. Throughout the reporting period, insights gathered through Democracy Cafés, the Next Gen Conference, and youth-led consultations were shared with policymakers, public bodies, and institutions to support more inclusive and informed decision-making. My Life My Say played a key role as a consultation coordinator for the development of the National Youth Strategy, ensuring that young people from diverse backgrounds were actively involved in shaping national policy. The charity’s contribution to this process was formally recognised by the government following the strategy’s publication. In addition, My Life My Say continued its partnership with Opinium Research, delivering the Youth Index, a biannual survey capturing young people’s views on trust, democracy, and political participation. This quantitative research complements qualitative insight from engagement activity, providing robust, evidence-based understanding of young people’s experiences and priorities. Together, these insights equip decision-makers with the information needed to design more effective and inclusive policies in the public interest.

Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	During the period April 2024 to May 2025, My Life My Say achieved significant impact for young people and wider society by increasing democratic participation, strengthening youth leadership, and embedding young people’s voices within national decision-making processes. Impact on Young People Through its engagement programmes, My Life My Say supported large numbers of young people, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, to develop confidence, knowledge, and agency within democratic systems. During the reporting period, the charity delivered 32 Democracy Cafés, engaging approximately 1,280 young people in structured, facilitated discussions on issues affecting their lives. These sessions enabled young people to better understand how decisions are made, to articulate their views, and to engage directly with decision-makers in accessible and inclusive settings. In November 2024, the charity delivered Next Gen 2024, bringing together around 600 young people with leading policymakers and influencers from across the political spectrum. This included senior figures from government, opposition parties, and a former Home Secretary, alongside activists and cultural leaders. The event provided young people with rare, direct access to decision- makers, helping to build confidence, political literacy, and a sense of belonging within democratic spaces. Strengthening Youth Leadership My Life My Say continued to invest in long- term leadership development through the Squad Leadership Programme, supporting 65 young people during the period. Participants developed skills in advocacy, communication, community organising, and media engagement, enabling them to take on active roles in civic life. Many Squad members progressed to facilitating Democracy Cafés, contributing to national campaigns, speaking publicly, and representing young people in policy discussions.

In response to growing demand and the success of the programme, the charity also began developing a Squad alumni offer, designed to support continued civic engagement and leadership progression beyond the formal programme. This work strengthens the sustainability of impact by ensuring that young people remain connected, supported, and active over the longer term. Increasing Civic Participation A major achievement during the period was My Life My Say’s contribution to increasing youth participation in elections and democratic processes. Through the Give An X voter registration campaign, the charity supported 488,846 young people to register to vote, addressing barriers such as lack of information, low confidence, and disengagement. Beyond registrations, the Give An X campaign reached 4,061,456 young people nationwide, encouraging them to engage with democracy through accessible, nonpartisan messaging delivered across digital platforms and grassroots partnerships. This work supported young people to better understand their rights and responsibilities, contributing to increased awareness and participation ahead of the July 2024 General Election. Influencing Policy and Strengthening Decision-Making My Life My Say achieved significant impact at a systems level by ensuring young people’s perspectives informed public policy. The charity played a central role in supporting the National Youth Strategy consultation, working in partnership with the iWill Movement to coordinate youth engagement activity. As part of this work, My Life My Say delivered nine Democracy Cafés across every region in England, providing structured spaces for young people to contribute their views on national priorities. In addition, the charity helped coordinate a wider public engagement campaign that ensured 14,000 young people’s voices were captured and fed directly into the formation of the National Youth Strategy. This activity strengthened the quality, inclusivity, and legitimacy of the consultation process, ensuring that policy

development was informed by lived experience from across the country. Wider Public Benefit Collectively, these achievements delivered clear public benefit by strengthening democratic participation, increasing youth representation within decision-making, and improving the quality of policy informed by young people’s lived experiences. By supporting young people to engage confidently and responsibly in civic life, My Life My Say contributed to a more inclusive, informed, and resilient democracy, benefiting society as a whole. .

Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Debtors Stocks and work in progress Current asset investments valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due.

Note 25 Fair value of assets and liabilities

The main risks arising from the charity’s financial instruments are credit risk and liquidity risk. The trustees review and agree policies for managing each of these risks and these are summarised below.

25.1 Please provide details of the charity's exposure to credit risk (the risk of incurring a loss due to a debtor not paying what is owed) , liquidity risk (the risk of not being able to meet short term financial demands) and market risk (the risk that the value of an investment will fall due to changes in the market) arising from financial instruments to which the charity is exposed at the end of the reporting period and explain how the charity manages those risks.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the charity, and arises principally from the debtors balance at the year-end, which are considered by the trustees to be recoverable.

Liquidity risk

The charity’s policy throughout the year has been to ensure that it has adequate liquidity by careful management of its working capital.

25.2 Please give details of the amount of change in the fair value of basic financial instruments (debtors, creditors, investments (see section 11, FRS102 SORP)) measured at fair value through the SoFA that is attributable to changes in credit risk.
