The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit,. Summary of the main achievements during the period I present our 9th Annual Trustee Report for The Josh Hanson Charitable Trust as we approach the tenth anniversary of Josh's death on the 11th of October 2025. Our mission is to highlight the harrowing consequences of violent crime and the lasting impact it has on its victims, their families, friends, and the wider community. We are totally committed to creating the change we want to see and preventing tragic stories like Josh's. Josh was an unsuspecting victim of a dreadful crime, and our family and friends are still affected by the traumatic and violent ending of his life, not only of his loss but also our experience of the criminal justice system as co-victims. From our lived experience, we have developed ServIS and campaigns for positive change in his memory. We aim to create training and learning opportunities for people to aCsS Josh's story in different and creative ways to reach as many people as possible locally and nationally. Our vision is for society to fully address the impact of violent crime, creating positive change in the community and within the Criminal Justi System which encourages crime prevention and reporting providing victims and witnesses with the support they need. We have had a successful year of fundraising through grants, contracts and donations allowing us to build a team of experienced and talented practitioners and creatives to help deliver our programmes in the community. As always, we have seen an increase in demand for our service delivering 25 presentations to schools across North-west London reaching nearly 2,500 people directly, engaged 140 young people in creative workshops, supported 16 young people to become Change Makers and 10 young people have benefited from the Fine Lines Programme. We have successfully developed key partnerships including working closely with the Metropolitan Poli Service delivering our end-to-end victim care programme. The programme has been taught to over a thousand Police Officers of all ranks and file each year.
The Josh Hanson Charitable Trust We remain committed to fostering strategic partnerships with statutory agencies, educational authorities, and local councils. Through these collaborations, we have secured our service provision in the borough of Harrow, Brent. and by working with national bodies we continue to effectively support and drive positive changes for victims of crime across the country. Tracey Hanson MA FRSA CEO Partnership Working The Trust builds and maintains partnerships with schools, police, NHS, and other organisations to achieve its goals. Establishing these relationships requires commitment and ongoing communication from all parties. In today's economy, collaboration is more effective than competition, and we remain committed to improving coordinated efforts to ensure joined up Servi provisions for victims. Harrow Serious Youth violen Duty Tracey Hanson ensured that The Josh Hanson Charitable 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 to speak to parents as part of Brent Council's Knife Crime Awareness Week. She is also at the mid-point of three years, commission to deliver Josh's story to 30 primary schools by March 2027. Feedback is overwhelmingly positive from children, teachers and parents alike. Voluntary Action for Harrow The Trust was represented at several meeting and networking events, including forums about venues for the voluntary sector. Tracey was also involved in the co- design a community fund. Young Harrow Foundation Tracey represented the Trust at the Young Harrow Foundation's consultation and Family Hub launch. Influencing Systemic Changes We have contributed consultations relating to the Victims Code of Practice. Whilst we are pleased that statutory obligations to highlight the Unduly Lenient Scheme to victims were included in the Victims and Offenders Act 2024, we do not believe it goes far enough and continue to campaign for Josh's Law within any future amendments to the Act and the Victims Code of Practi. Josh's Law would ensure victims of serious violent crime would be infomied about the right to appeal a sentence under the Unduly Lenient Sentence Scheme at the time of sentencing. It would also ensure an extension of the 28 days would be considered in extenuating circumstances as is afforded to the offender.
The Josh Hanson Charitable Trust We have influenced procedural changes within the Metropolitan Police have improved their victim care. We continue to work with the Police force to reach as many OffirS as possible with our End-t(kEnd Victim Care training programme. Our programme has been evaluated by officers as 'powerful' and 'the best part of training scheme., We have now been invited to Family Liaison Officer training programmes, Professionalising Investigations Programmes for police investigators training levels 1 , 2 and 3, and training for mid. frontline and senior leadership training across forces. The charity has worked for many years to represent the interests of bereaved families by homicide. Although bereaved families are now recognised as victims under the Victims and Prisoners Bill 2024, current systems and support services may not fully address their needs. In principle, they have aCsS to the same legal support, rights, and services as other victims and witnesses. While this legislative change indicates progress, the charity continues to review how effectively these provisions are applied in practi. Representing Victims Strategically As a former VI-chair and current member of the Victim Reference Group, Tracey continues to represent the interests of bereaved families and victims. This role aligns with the Trust's activities by raising awareness and providing input and support to the Victims, Commissioner of London, Claire Waxman OBE. The Victims Reference Group advises and represents victims of crime, contributing information to both the Commissioner and the Victims Board. CNWL NHS Mental Health Trust Patient Safety Partner Since 2023, our CEO has served as a Patient Safety Partner {PSP) for the Central North-west London NHS Trust. In this capacity, Tracey has played a key role in shaping Quality Assuran and investigation processes, enhancing staff training, and improving communication on patient and staff safety. Her ongoing contributions include visiting and evaluating NHS Trust facilities and services, as well as participating in a network of PSPS across other Trusts to support the continued advancement of patient safety initiatives. VOICE Campaign Tracey Hanson was a founding member and contributor to the development of Victims Oversight in Criminal Enforcement organisation (VOICE) which is calling for victims to be better served by the probation servi. Tracey was elected vice-chair and has been instrumental in developing the infrastructure of the organisation and campaigning activities.

Change Makers #2 Funded by Harrow Change Makers grant and following the sucSsful partnership with Canons in year one of the project, we were able to deliver Change Makers with a total of 17 young people completing the programme and successfully presenting the changes they wanted to see in their school andlor community. The programme was intrOdUd by TraY in the first instance and then delivered by three creatives and support from a film maker. They were able to work with the young people to develop 'activism' _ making change using art - developing PowerPoint Presentations, films, spoken word and poetry, textiles, fashion and multi- media. Our aim to engage with the previous graduates was unable to be achieved due to school staff time constraints and the young peoples, upcoming GCSES. This meant that after extensive research and discussions with funders we were unable to pursue the development of the accredited mentoring programme at this time. A total of 17 young people, aged 12 to 14, participated. The overall attendance rate was 84.5 % , with 456 total contact hours delivered. Key findings from the report show that the programme was highly effective in several areas: Mental Health and Wellbeing: All young people felt they had a good understanding of mental health and wellbeing generally but 55 % of participants showed a notable improvement in their understanding of how to manage and promote their own mental health. Additionally, 70 % reported an improved ability to manage their thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
The Josh Hanson Charitable Trust Self-Expression and Communication: 88 % of young people felt their ability to express their thoughts and feelings so that others would understand them had improved. There was a significant shift from baseline to end of project questionnaires from participants who disagreed or were neutral on this topic at the beginning to those who agreed or strongly agreed. Confidence and Self-Efficacy: The programme transformed participants, belief in their ability to Influen change. Initially. only 22 % felt confident they could make a differen, at the end of the programme the entire group felt confident and able they could drive change. The programme also successfully increased confidence in social interactions, particularly in "sharing my ideas with others" Artistic Skills: The programme enhand participants, confidence in using both watercolour paints and Fineliner pens, with a more prOnound impact on the use of Fineliner pens. Participants also gained confidence in various presentation skills, including film, stage perforrnan, and spoken word. The evaluation was based on 17 baseline and 16 end-of-programme questionnaires, session evaluation forms, and verbal feedback from school staff, parents, and carers. The participants greatly benefited from the programme. sharing their experiences on topics addressing personal safety, mental health, and applying creative solutions for change through spoken word, textiles, film and even song. Zuri, age 13, Year 8: '1 really enjoyed it and the opportunities it provided even beyond the programme. It was wonderful, and I hope it continues .)': Simida, age 13, Year 9: "1 have loved this experience and found this opportunity amazing. This has helped me not only with managing feelings but also with skills" Amira, age 13, Year 9: "Please let them stay". Aneesa, age 14, Year 9: 'It has helped me find new ways to manage my emotions" Sabrine, age 14, Year 9: "It helped me with my self-esteem" Child C experiences severe agoraphobia and claustrophobia which meant he found attending school very difficult. He did his best to attend school on Tuesdays specifically for Change Makers. Whenever he was present, he participated well and contributed greatly to the programme. He worked independently when he could not attend, creating books with his own ideas and illustrations. Nuzhat Raja, Lead Learning Mentor said, "the changes in the young people in such a short time is astounding. they have produced such great things and presented them so well and looked forward to coming to school each week." David Bullock, Head teacher said that he "was moved to tears of pride whilst watching the perforManS and presentations."
The Josh Hanson Charitable Trust Fine Lines Art Programme The Fine Lines Art Programme, funded by the Deo Duce Foundation was delivered between January and July 2025 designed to provide young people with a safe, creative outlet for self-expression. The six-week programme took place at Salvatorian College for Boys with the aim of building confiden, self-esteem, personal responsibility and safety, emotional literacy, and resilience through art and creative writing. Objectives Create a safe space for young people to express emotions through creativity. Strengthen confidence and self-esteem. Support emotional regulation and decision-making. Encourage positive social interaction, responsibility, and self-management. Provide an alternative way to process the impact of crime and trauma. Reach and Engagement 11 young people participated, attending between 2 and 6 sessions. All participants received an art kit and access to online tutorials to continue their practice beyond the sessions. Key Findings & Impact Confidence and Self-Esteem Pre and post-programme questionnaires showed measurable increases in participants, self-reported confidence. Participants who were initially hesitant grew more comfortable sharing their work, engaging in discussions, and taking creative risks. Several moved from disengagement to pride in their artistic and written output. Emotional Expression and Flow State Every participant experienced periods of 'flow state, deep, focused engagement in creative activity. This was especially powerful for young people who typically struggled with concentration or behaviour management. Creative expression allowed participants to process complex feelings around crime, safety, and personal wellbeing. Behavioural and Social Development Notable progress was observed in self-management, patien, and respect for peers. Examples include participants independently moving to quieter spaS to focus, encouraging peers to listen, and showing responsibility in group tasks. Young people demonstrated empathy and understanding of others, perspectives, both through artwork and in discussions. Personal Growth - Case Examples Participant A: Initially restless and easily distracted, he learned to regulate his behaviour, took initiative to find ways to focus, and produced an impressive piece of creative writing. Participant N" Grew in confiden, demonstrated strong creative thinking ("forgiveness" mask project), and took on a supportive peer role, helping distribute materials and encouraging patience.
The Josh Hanson Charitable Trust School Feedback The SENCO at Salvatorian College praised the programme, highlighting the superb quality of student artwork and the positive impact on their confidence and engagement: "Our students enjoyed the experience, and the artwork they created was superb... look foNiard to the opportunity to work together again in the future." Olimpia Thomas-Boneika Overall Outcomes Significant improvements in confidence, cOnntration, emotional regulation, and social interaction. Young people developed creative coping mechanisms to process difficult emotions and themes around crime. The programme fostered pride, achievement, and resilience among participants. Lessons Learnt Consistent attendance maximised impact, but even sporadic participation produced noticeable benefits. Providing art kits and tutorials ensured continuity beyond the sessions. Voluntary engagement encouraged authenticity, though some participants found exploring trauma-related themes too challenging to sustain attendance. Conclusion The Fine Lines Art Programme sucSsfUllY delivered on its objectives, offering young people both creative empowerment and emotional growth. The evidence suggests that consistent participation in creative workshops can build long-term resilience, emotional literacy, and self-confidence - particularly valuable for those at risk of negative influences. The programme not only created tangible artistic outcomes but also supported profound personal development. making it a powerful model for future inteNention and youth support initiatives.
