Introducing their pupils to our 'Flow State in 4, taster session showed them how effective a simple art wellbeing practice can help with focus, increased happiness, greater creativity, and better emotional regulation. Living in a fast paced world it is important that we allow ourselves time to slow down and connect with ourselves.

Tracey facilitated a very successful workshop aimed at voluntary sector organisations and volunteers providing art activities that can be completed to reduce stress and increase wellbeing. with very powerful responses and positive feedback. New Gen Festival in Ealing The Trust was involved in providing the Fine Line Art workshops to approximately 100 young people and parents in the Mind Zone at Ealing's New Gen Festival - youth led event which is part of the Ealing Summer Festivals programme. This provided respite for many young people who were overwhelmed by the noise and crowds, whilst allowing them to experience the benefits of art and mindfulness and being encouraged to celebrate their creativity. Feedback was ovepNhelmingly positive from the young people, adults and partner organisations that also joined in.

The Josh Hanson Charitable Trust Testimonial - Councillor Harbi Farah 'As the Councillor for Safer Communities and Public Protection, l am proud to support the work of Tracey Hanson and The Josh Hanson Trust, who have been integral to Brent Council's commissioned crime prevention programme. Tracey's dedication to addressing knife crime and its devastating impact on families is nothing short of inspiring. Having tragically lost her son, Josh, to knife crime, Tracey has channelled her personal loss into a powerful force for positive change in our community. Through the progran7me, TraY delivered impaclful crime prevention presentations in three local primary schools, helping to raise awareness among children and staff about the dangers of knife crime and the importance of resilience and safety. Her ability to connect with young people and communicate these critical messages in a relatable way is truly commendable. Additionally, I was honoured to be a panel member during Tracey's online parenting W0shOp held during Knife Crime A wareness Week. In this session, TraGey shared invaluable advice on how parents can protect their children from the risks of knife crime, empowering families with practical knowledge and strategies to keep their children safe. Tracey's woth is driven not only by her own personal experience but by a profound commitment to educating and protecting others. Her continued efforts are making a significant difference in the lives of young people, parents, and the wider community, and l am grateful for the opportunity to support her important work." RAISING AWARENESS Influencing Changes to Law We have contributed consultations relating to the Victims and Prisoners Bill, which is now enshrined in law. Our contributions led to the change in wording of the Victim Impact Statement from the Victim Personal Statement. This change may seem insignificant but for a victim sharing the impact of a crime committed against them, it is an important achievement. This benefit to Victims shows the impact and describing the damage done to the victim whereas instead of the personal feelings which are not aligned with the rest of the judicial prOsS instead focusing on the victim's feelings rather than the impact. The works the charity have undertaken for many years to represent the needs of bereaved families has also been reflected within the Victims and Prisoners Bill, with bereaved families being represented as victims and therefore, in theory, having the same recourse to the legal support. rights and services as victims. Whilst this is a notable achievement, the charity will continue to monitor and ensure that this is delivered in practi. We continue to fight for Josh's Law and whilst we recognise that the inclusion of statutory obligations to highlight the Unduly Lenient Scheme to victims in the Victims and Offenders Act 2024 is a step in the right direction, we do not believe it goes for enough and continue to work towards the recognition and inclusion of Josh's Law within any future amendments to the Act.
