We supported over 300 vulnerable children and young people this year.

In this year’s impact report, we have focussed on the evaluation of our work on our main projects: DIVERT Youth, Raising the Game and Milk Honey Bees.

work, I am encouraged that we are consistently delivering positive outcomes even during a global pandemic.

Many of our projects work with young people who are experiencing some of the most complex problems we see in our communities; despite the challenges of this

I hope you enjoy learning about our work helping hundreds of children and young people, and we look forward to doing better work together in the future.

Projects to date

DIVERT Youth

In April 2019, using funding secured through the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s “Supporting Families Against Youth Crime” programme, the programme since went on to gain further funding from the Youth Endowment Fund DIVERT Youth to continue working with young people aged 10-17 who also presented in custody. Founded on the same principles as DIVERT, this programme provides tailored intervention and support for young people at risk of negative outcomes associated with serious violence crimes.

Milk Honey Bees

Milk Honey Bees is an expressive safe space that allows young women and girls flourish and take ownership of H.E.R (Healing, Empowerment and Resilience) through 1:1 sessions and creative group projects.

The aim is to enable young women and girls, who are often deemed as hard to engage, create a safe space to express creatively and the chance to feel supported and access opportunities, plus gain skills to navigate in society. Milk Honey Bees supported 30 young women on their journey of healing whilst equipping them with social, employment and life skills that enable them to mobilise in their communities.

Raising The Game: The Norwood School

Funded through The Walcot Foundation and working in partnership with The Norwood School and Project YANA this project aimed to address academic attainment gap and disproportionately high exclusion rates that Black Caribbean pupils in the borough face. We supported over 30 young people as they transitioned from primary to secondary education so they felt safe and secure, providing a link between the certainty of their existing school and the brave new world of their new one.

Building Young Brixton

This year we joined Building Young Brixton, a consortium of 9 Lambeth-based organisations working together to inspire and empower young people in Brixton is an exciting prospect for us. The vision of BYB is for young people in Lambeth to thrive through the achievement of 5 major outcomes:

Increase in school involvement

2. Increase in community involvement

The ‘Raising the Game’ initiative is based on extensive research running in Lambeth schools to improve outcomes at all key stages, to raise aspirations and to reduce exclusions for Black Caribbean pupils who underachieve in relation to their peers nationally and locally.

3. Increase in employability & employment

4. Improvement in personal relationships

5. Increase in emotional and physical wellbeing

We look forward to sharing this journey with you next year.

Case Study

very cautious. I was 15 and because of what I’d been going through at home I wasn’t comfortable speaking to men. It took time before I realized that this guy was the real deal.

I was a bad youth at school. Long term exclusions, out on the streets – and when I was in, I wasn’t focusing on lessons. I did not care about my GCSEs.

A lot of the issues were at home – domestic abuse from my mum’s ex-partner. That made me very angry and made me not want to be in the house. So where else am I going to go? The street. When I went to school, I saw it as a playground, I didn’t see it as a place of learning. I was going through madness at home, school was an escape – I didn’t want to just sit down and write.

They didn’t tell me why they introduced me to him, but considering how I was behaving it wasn’t that hard to understand. The day he came I’d just come back from a behavioural unit, because I robbed somebody from my school. And I did so many things before that, I thought it was going to be the last straw. But for whatever reason, the head teacher said I’m giving you one more chance.

I’ve seen a lot of people working in this sector and most of them don’t really care – they’re not in it for a reason, they’re just doing it for money. When you’re doing this kind of work it’s a humanitarian job, and you can always tell if they’re doing it for the wrong reasons.

This guy, though, he took his time and would just come into school and speak to me about the things that I went through, my GCSEs and stuff like that. As soon as I told him I grew up without a father he was cautious. I think he straightaway understood that I didn’t trust men.

At that time, a lot of the time, I was out on the streets doing things I shouldn’t have been doing. I was dealing drugs, affiliating myself with gang members. To this day I still can’t go to certain areas because of things that have happened.

then – they’re still my friends, although unfortunately a lot of them are in jail – was that I always had some sort of future in my head. I had one foot in the streets and one foot out. I knew, even at 15, that I wanted to stop, because I knew that once you get into the cycle, most likely you’re not going to get out.

What I didn’t understand was how important school was. Winston kind of made me see that, and that’s when I started buckling down in lessons a bit. I told him that it was too late, I’d missed three years of school, I couldn’t make it up in the space of a year. But I tried, and he helped me settle down.

When I was younger, I’d come to him with every single thing. Now, as I get older, I prefer to do more things myself. But if there’s nothing else I can do then yeah, he’s my lifeline. Recently, I asked him if he could find me an SIA course, which helps you get security work – and he’s found me one already.

I think it’s also about opportunities, because the opportunities for young people are dire. In terms getting work now? Forget about it. It wasn’t easy to get a job before, you want to get a job now?

As soon as this pandemic stops I’m going to get back to my boxing and I want to do it professionally. I know I’m good enough to make it, that’s why I’m doing it. In the future maybe I’ll have my own promotion company, set up my own gym, help young people come up. And then maybe get into politics – because a lot needs to change.

I started boxing when I was 17. It turned out I was pretty tight at it, and it’s helped me stay on the straight and narrow. I was doing it every day until Coronavirus, because now everything’s shut down. Lockdown didn’t really bother me – the only thing that annoyed me was the boxing gyms being closed.

At school it was like being surrounded by a bunch of suicidal kids. We weren’t going to kill ourselves, but it was an attitude of if you die, you die – oh well. There wasn’t much to look forward to. How are they going to care about GCSEs when they don’t care about their own life?

A lot of adults are talking about Coronavirus making things difficult for young people – but they were not paying attention if they think these problems are new. It’s just made it worse. I think it’s making people finally realise some of the problems that the younger generation are facing.

terms of employment is mental health. When I talk about mental health I talk more about young black people, especially young black men, because for us it’s brushed away.

If I was talking to a young person like me, I know what to say but I don’t know if I’d say it. At that age people are hardly listening. But I’d just tell them how it is. I’d tell them what they’re going into, what it’s really like, and it’s up to them whether they take my word for it.

I come from a broken house and I was exposed to the streets, and while I know I’m not perfect and I’ve still got a long way to go, a lot of what’s changed is thanks to Winston. Looking back I think I’ve done pretty well. I was going down the wrong road but I came out of it – but I’m probably in the minority. I think the majority of youths that go down the wrong path stay on it.

Funders

We would not have been able to do all we have for young people without our dedicated supporters, the other grassroots organisations who we rely on to work with us to help change children and young people’s lives.

We would like to thank all funders and donors for believing in the work we do; they play a crucial part of everything we have achieved for young people this year. We are very proud of the team behind Juvenis, their hard work keeps the organisation moving in the right direction every year.

Finally, I’d like to thank the children and young people, it is our privilege to work both with and for. Their stories of resilience and tenacity continue to inspire me and remind everyone at Juvenis how important it is that we do all that we can to ensure children and young people are given the opportunity for a brighter future.

Our vision is still as important as ever ‘a future where all young Londoners have more than one chance to fulfil their potential’.

Thank you.

JUVENIS TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT TRUSTEES’ REVIEW YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020

FINANCIAL REVIEW

For the year ended 31[st] July 2020, the trustees consider the financial position of the charity to be in line with expectations.

The charity received funding from a number of organisations for their development and the delivery of their work:

MOPAC (Mayors’ Office for Police and Crime) The Global Fund For Children Lambeth Youth Council London Community Fund – Salway Fund The London Community/Evening Standard Walcot Foundation – Positive Change

The funding was used to benefit disadvantaged young Londoners at risk of criminal involvement by enabling them to improve their life chances and contribute positively to their communities.

RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain appropriate to the charity’s needs. This is based on the charity’s size and the level of commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil their charitable objectives.

RISK REVIEW

The trustees conduct periodic reviews of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems and procedures to manage those risks identified are implemented so as to minimise any potential impact on the charity should any of those risks materialise.

JUVENIS TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT TRUSTEES’ REVIEW YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

b) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

c) state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
d) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

APPROVAL

This report was approved by the trustees on 3 September 2021 and signed on their behalf.

JUVENIS TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT EXAMINERS REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020

Independent Examiners Report

I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31[st] July 2019 which are set out on pages 6 to 10.

Responsibility of Examiner

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

Examine accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act
follow all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the company and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
a. proper accounting records are kept; and
b. accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records. Or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
