Testimonial - Mrs Susan O'Grady Assistant Principal
"Change Makers was one of the best projects I have been involved with throughout
20 years wothing in education. From the very beginning in how the project was
introduced to us at Canons High School by The Josh Hanson Trust through the
excellent implementation of each session by the facilitators. I was both moved and
inspired by the passion of our young people in their fi.nal presentations and to see
how much the students had grown in confidence. The showcase event gave the
students a platform to demonstrate the multiple skills that they had leamed over the
duration of the course. We were honoured be part of the Change Makers project
whiGh gives a powerful voice to young people in today's society. '

PARTNERSHIPS
Canons High School Mental Health and Wellbeing Day
As part of our Trauma recovery plan for 2024 we joined partners at the Canons High
School Official Mental Health and Wellbeing event. 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.
Voluntary Action Harrow Wellbeing Day
Tracey Hanson represented the charity at the Voluntary Action Harrow Wellbeing
Day. This was an opportunity to network and share information about the Trust.
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. It
was a great opportunity to network and increase awareness of the Trust in the
borough of Ealing. It was also an opportunity to see our Change Maker team in
action, performing music and spoken word.
Harrow Serious Youth Violence Duty
Tracey Hanson ensured that the Josh Hanson Trust was acknowledged within the
Harrow Serious Youth Violence Duty Strategy as a key stakeholder and provider
within the borough. She continues to be part of the quarterly steering group meeting
that monitor progress and support the ongoing application of the strategy.
Brent Council
Tracey was invited by the Brent Council's Violence and Vulnerabilities lead to speak
and raise awareness of the services the Trust can provide and our willingness to
work in partnership with the violen￿ and Vulnerabilities Co-ordinator- Serious
Violence Lead in the Communities and Partnerships department. This has also led to
three years funding to deliver to 30 primary schools and increased interaction with
Brent Schools poli￿ Team.

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, Tra￿Y 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
W0￿shOp 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 prO￿sS 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.

The Josh Hanson Charitable Trust
Co-chair of Claire Waxman Victims, Commissioner's Victim Reference Group
We continue to offer our advice and support to the Victims, Commissioner of London,

impact of knife crime shared to 7356 children and young people and over 500
parents, teachers and other school professionals. The audience were receptive and
fully engaged with evaluation showing positive learning outcomes and powerful
messages re￿ived. This work was funded by Deo Duce Foundation in Harrow,
commissioned by Brent Community Safety Team and Thomas Knyvett College in
Surrey.
Analysis of Children and Young People's Feedback Data:
6 % Said the Presentation Had a Positive Impact:

presentations. suggesting the content was engaging and meaningful. This high
approval rate indicates that the presentstions effectively resonated with the
audience, likely due to their relevan￿ and the emotional storytelling approach.

the participants on an emotional and intellectual level, helping them to understand
the seriousness of knife crime and its repercussions.
89 % Felt More Confident About Speaking Up When Worried..
Interpretation: The presentation successfully encouraged young people to express
concerns and seek help, a crucial step in crime prevention and mental health
support. This result indicates that the sessions likely included elements of
empowerment. encouraging open communication and breaking down stigmas
associated with seeking help.

it can lead to earlier intervention in potentially dangerous situations and support
mental well-being.

realities and consequences of knife crime. This statistic reflects the clarity and
educational value of the content provided.

among young people, potentially reducing the likelihood of them engaging in or
tolerating knife-related activities.
78 % Would Be More Confident to Report a Crime:
Interpretation: While this figure is slightly lower than the others, it still represents a
strong level of increased confidence in reporting crimes. This statistic suggests that

helps law enforcement agencies respond more effectively to issues.

Analysis of Parent's and Professionals Feedback Data:
The unanimous positive feedback from adults who attended The Josh Hanson
Trust's Crime Prevention Presentation underscores the profound impact and
effectiveness of the programme. This feedback highlights several key areas where
the presentations have made a significant difference:
Unanimous Positive Impact:
100 % Agreement: Every adult who participated in the feedback process agreed or
strongly agreed that the presentation had a positive impact on them. This remarkable
unanimity indicates that the content and delivery resonated deeply, providing
valuable insights and fostering a strong connection with the audien￿. The
presentations were evidently well-crafted, relevant, and impacfful, addressing critical
issues related to knife crime and community safety.
Increased Confidence in Supporting Children:
Parental Empowerment: All respondents reported feeling more confident in
supporting their children to speak up when worried about something. This is a crucial
outcome, as it empowers parents to foster open communication with their children,
ensuring that young people feel safe and supported in discussing their concerns. By
equipping parents with the tools and Confiden￿ to have these conversations, the
programme extends its impact beyond the presentations, fostering healthier family
dynamics and more supportive home environments.
Enhan￿d Awareness of Knife Crime:
Informative Content: The presentations effectively conveyed the serious impact of
knife crime, with all adults indicating they felt better informed. This heightened
awareness is critical, as understanding the broader implications of knife crime-
including its impact on victims, families, and communities-can motivate proactive
prevention efforts. Educated adults are more likely to recognise warning signs and
take action, contributing to a more vigilant and informed community.
Increased Confidence in Reporting Crimes:
Community vigilan￿.. The unanimous response also highlighted increased
confidence among adults in reporting crimes. This is a significant step toward
enhancing community safety, as it encourages more active participation in crime
prevention and intervention efforts. When adults feel empowered to report suspicious
activities or crimes, it fosters a culture of responsibility and safety within the
community.

The Josh Hanson Charitable Trust
Commitment to Sharing Knowledge:
Information Dissemination: The agreement that all adults would share what they
learned with others demonstrates the potential for the programme's messages to
reach a wider audience. This willingness to disseminate information amplifies the
presentation's impact, creating a ripple effect that extends beyond the immediate
participants. Sharing knowledge about knife crime prevention and community safety
can help build a more informed and proactive society.

The unanimous positive response from adults attending the Crime Prevention
Presentation underscores the programme's effectiveness in educating and
empowering its audience. The presentstions not only raised awareness about the
serious issue of knife crime but also equipped participants with the confidence and
tools needed to support their children, report crimes, and share critical information
within their communities. This comprehensive impact reflects the programme's
success in fostering a more informed, vigilant, and supportive community, ultimately
contributing to a safer environment for all.

REACHING COMMUNITIES
Art Exhibitions

OUR PLqNS FOR 2024-25
PLANS FOR THE PERIOD 2025- 2028
We intend to continue to deliver our previously highlighted, well-established projects
and services and remain constant in our person-centred approach. We continually
evaluate and adapt our delivery, according to the individuals or communities with
whom we are working. As a longstanding provider within the community, we are in
the position to respond to changing needs quickly. and we are a trusted contributor
to borough and region-wide cross sector strategies. An example of this the
organisation's current role within Harrow Violence Reduction Duty Strategy which
brings together the Local Authority, Ministry of Justice Stakeholder, Mayor's Offi
for Policing and Crime, National Health Trust. and Voluntary Sector organisations. In
addition, the CEO'S role as Patient Safety Partner plans to make systemic change
within Central and North-west London (CNWL) NHS Trust. The need for this work
will continue to be a priority over the next few years and TJHT intends to ensure
victims and those with vulnerabilities which make them more SUS￿ptib1e to
victimisation are supported effectively throughout the criminal Justi￿ system.

Change Makers Programme
In January 2025 we will be delivering Round 2 of this programme. Following
evaluation and feedback from Round 1 we have refined the programme. Once we
have delivered this, we hope to gain funding to roll this programme out to other
schools and organisations and pilot a course for adults in response to the demand.
This has been funded by Harrow Change Makers.
Disordered Eating Campaign
In March 2025, we have been funded by Young Harrow Foundation and CNWL NHS
Support to Recovery in Disordered Eating Service (STRIDES) to Greate an
information campaign to raise awareness about disordered eating. Many victims of
crime or people at risk of victimisation are impacted by disordered eating. We will be
working with young people to develop a short film to help promote the stigma
attached to disorder eating and in doing so encourage an open dialogue amongst
young people who may be suffering in silence.
Crime Prevention Presentations
Following our successful delivery of Josh's story in 2024. we have been
commissioned to deliver to 10 primary schools in Brent a year for the next three
years and have a commissioned presentation in Warford in November with more
bookings in Harrow pending. Deo Duce have funded us to deliver 10 Crime
Prevention Art Workshops to schools in Harrow. Each school will select 10 pupils to
create artwork and creative writing extracts which demonstrate their understanding of
the impacts of knife crime, victimisation and personal safety. The works collected will
be included in an educational book resour￿ which will be made available online and
via selected stores.
Peer Support Service
To meet the demand, we seek funding opportunities to develop training and increase
the organisation's capacity to deliver the peer support service for victims and
bereaved families navigating the criminal Justi￿ system.
We are also working with Dechert LLP on a resour￿ specifically for bereaved
families during the Criminal Justi￿ Process and System to provide an accessible
guide to the English Legal System. We continue to apply for our core costs to
develop accessible Victims, Rights Guides and resources for people navigating
Criminal Justi￿ Process and System and other statutory ServI￿S which will be
freely available on our website. Following on from this we are seeking to hold round
table and parliamentary discussions on the needs of victims of crime and drive
forward our campaign for Josh's Law and the right to be informed about the right to
appeal a criminal conviction or sentence.

Research Partnership with Open University and Lancaster University to support our
call for Josh's Law and The Unduly Lenient Scheme (ULS) 28-day Rule rights
relayed to victims.
The research will aim to identify the reasons the ULS scheme was introduced and
observe how the scheme operates in practi￿. We will be reviewing any evaluation or
analysis of the operation of scheme by government, professionals or academics,
including establishing the numbers of cases referred to the ULS between 2020 and
2023, and the proportion brought by victims or families. We will also look at what
information is given to victims and families about the scheme, by whom and when
and what support is available to victims and families to bring a case (including
practical and financial support), and by whom. Following analysis of this research, a
written report will be written and presented to the Josh Hanson Trust outlining the
outcome of the research and any recommendations for reform. The Open University
will collate and finalise the report using the sections prepared by and Lancaster
University. The report will be available by the end of June 2025 and will be included
in our proposals to Parliament.
We will be focussing on accessing core funding and increase our fundraising
endeavours to support the development of the organisations core service delivery.

4. Fundraising - to develop ongoing and regular fundraising and fflarketing for
the Trust, including Golf event, Individual Giving Campaign, and securing two
places for the Marathon from 2026 as well as developing new and engaging
ideas that will increase our unrestricted income.
Our funders have enabled us to deliver numerous projects which have meant that we
can continue to provide support to vulnerable children, young people and adults in
local communities and nationally. We would ask our funders and supporters to
continue to support us and consider long-term funding so that we can develop and
extend our projects to more people in need. Our supporters continue to amaze us
year on year with their words of support, encouragement and gratitude for the
services we provide. We would also like to thank them for helping us to fundraise
helping us to secure much needed services.
Financial Review
Our income for this financial year has decreased by 28 % . Whilst we continue to
deliver much in need services and projects we have struggled to secure additional
funding. The financial climate is such that funders are Increaslngly struggllng to meet
the demand and as a small charity this has a great impact to the services we can
offer. We shall continue to seek funding and explore wider opportunities to secure
long term funding to ensure levels of our unrestricted reserves, and increase our
capacity and sustainability for the future.
The charlty's policy on reserves
We need reserves to ensure we can develop and build on our service provisions in
response to the increase in demand. We aim to ensure that we have ample reserves
to cover our overheads and staffing costs for a minimum of 6 months and in
accordance with the Charity Commission recommendations.
