Governance and management
The charity is operated under the rules of its constitution adopted 0111212016.
All of our trustees have lived experien￿ of bereavement by homicide and are
specifically connected to Josh Hanson. The recruitment of new trustees would
involve either advertising for specific roles or for people with specific skills and
knowledge (e.g. criminal justi￿, HR, communications) or supporting the
development of skills of service users with lived experience of being bereaved by
homicide or a victim of serious crime. We would undertake safer recruitment
processes - inteniiew, referen￿s, DBS check and if successful, induction and offer
ongoing training.
Objectives and activities
To advance in life and help young people through: A) The provision of recreational
and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to
improve their conditions of life" B) Providing support and activities which develop
their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as
mature and responsible individuals. To promote, for the benefit of the public, the
efficiency of the police in England and Wales, particularly London and the
surrounding areas and to promote good citizenship and greater public participation in
the prevention and solution of crime in the area.

The Josh Hanson Charitable Trust
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit
We encourage individuals to make a difference in their lives by providing them with
targeted art trauma recovery interventions and support including crime intervention
and prevention support along with recreational activities to help develop their skills
and to help them to improve their conditions of lrfe.
Public benefit statement
Our activities aim to reduce crime and our therapeutic services help individuals to
cope and recover.
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

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 ServI￿S and campaigns for positive change in his
memory. We aim to create training and learning opportunities for people to aC￿sS
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 Offi￿rS 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 aC￿sS 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.

combining the interactive Josh's Story presentation to school assemblies with a
creative workshop for selected young people assessed as at risk. This programme
was delivered 14 times in 3 secondary schools, 1 alternative provision, and 5 primary
schools.

Change Makers #2
Funded by Harrow Change Makers grant and following the suc￿Ssful 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 intrOdU￿d by Tra￿Y 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 enhan￿d participants, confidence in using both
watercolour paints and Fineliner pens, with a more prOnoun￿d 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 perforMan￿S 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 spa￿S 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."

Overall Outcomes
Significant improvements in confidence, cOn￿ntration, 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 suc￿SsfUllY 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.
Disordered Eating Campaign

and the CNWL STRIDES servi￿. The social media campaign will be filmed and
developed by our creative team and the young people and will be launched in
October 2025.

with continuous development and refinement. Upon the website's completion, the
goal is to provide access to information guides, training reSoUr￿s, school packages,

A social media strategy has been developed, and once financial capacity allows for
its implementation, information sharing and Servi￿ promotion are expected to
become more effective.
This work to develop content and share information has continued throughout the
year and will be implemented in the coming months in 2025-26.
Fundraising - We submitted applications to the National Lottery Community Fund
and Garfield Weston and the Harrow Giving Community Fund for core funding to
facilitate the development and continued delivery of our principal activities: peer
support and advocacy for bereaved families and victims of serious crime. Although
these applications were not Suc￿sSfUl, we have since reviewed all submissions and
overall funding. Our efforts will diversify towards exploring alternative avenues for
income generation.

The Josh Hanson Charitable Trust
The focus for our fundraising moving forward is to support the ongoing delivery of our
creative services to bereaved families and victims of serious violent crime, but also to
ensure that we are responding to the practical support needs which will differ for
everyone and may be better served by other providers. This will be the foundation of
The Josh Hanson Grant Fund.
The donations pledged from Harrington's Charity Golf Tournament will provide core
funding, support our work delivering ServI￿S to bereaved families and victims of
crime through our Peer Support, advocacy and raising awareness of victims, rights,
representing their needs with local, regional and national decision-makers.
Tracey Hanson ran the London Marathon in 2009 and was supported by her family
and friends on the day. More importantly Josh would spend hours alongside her
while she trained in and outside of the gym and cheering her on at the final hurdle.
Securing two places in the London Marathon 2026 will attract a minimum of £5,000
in donations while raising awareness of the Trusts endeavours to support individuals
who have been bereaved by homicide or victims of serious violent crimes to help
them access support, advi￿ and help while navigating the criminal justice system
and thereafter.
Our focus for the 2025-26 and the following two years is to reduce our reliance on
grant funding and develop our income generation, corporate sponsorship and
donations campaigns to be able to develop and deliver on the following goals.
Creative Legacy Projects
To mark the tenth year of losing Josh we aim to establish develop legacy projects
that will honour Josh's memory, such as
The launch of the manifesto and campaign for Josh's Law.
Development of short film sharing Tracey's story as a bereaved mother and
the needs for victims to have a Vol￿ in the criminal justice system

Fine Lines Book: We have been collecting all the art and creative writing that
the young people have created throughout our Crime Prevention Presentations and
Workshops since January 2025 and will continue to do so until the end of July 2026.
We aim to form a book which include the thoughts, feelings and emotions that young
people feel about mental health and knife crime. We aim to distribute across libraries
and schools in Harrow.

The Josh Hanson Charitable Trust
Victim Care System Change
Continue to train Metropolitan Police in End-t(IEnd Victim Care, promoting the
Victims Code of Practice and the needs of bereaved families.
We aim to be part of the design of future training delivered by Metropolitan
Police and other forces.
Contribute to the government's consultations on the Victims Code of Practice.
Working in partnership with Victim Support in and around Josh's Law and the
Unduly Lenient Scheme 28-day rule.
Launch our manifesto working towards gaining cross party support for the
following four points to support bereaved families and victims of serious violent
crime.
Josh's Law: At sentencing victims MUST be informed of their right to appeal
under the Unduly Lenient Sentencing (ULS) Scheme. Clear, ac￿Ssible guidance on
the ULS Scheme, including the 28-day right to appeal, must be within the VCOP and
delivered consistently across all agencies.
Renaming the Victim Personal Statement: language must reflect the
seriousness of crime, and the emotional harm caused. It must be renamed to Victim
Impact Statement to ensure that all agencies respond with urgency in and around the
impact of the crime.
Post-mortem material: The Coroners Retention and Disposal of material from
post-mortem examination form, must be included in the VCOP. It must also include a
signed copy which is to be given to the bereaved family member.
Victims, Advocates alongside PCC'S" calling for victims advocate to sit
alongside PCC'S who have joint responsibility for the commission of victims, ser11￿S
in their area.
Crime Prevention
We have 15 more Crime Prevention Presentations in primary schools, commissioned
by London Borough of Brent to be delivered until March 2027.
We also have been funded through My Ends- London Borough of Harrow and the
Young Harrow Foundation - to deliver 10 Crime Prevention Presentations and
Workshops to Primary and Secondary Schools in Harrow.
We have already secured all the bookings for these and will be delivering the
remaining six presentations throughout the coming financial year.
We will be working with an experienced creative agency to develop an animated
version of Josh's Story. This work has been funded by My Ends programme. We will
be working with Pinner High School to pilot the animation and test out the
workshops, allowing the young people to contribute to this new development.
The aim over the coming year, is to develop staff training, lesson plans linking Josh's
Story to the curriculum and developing packages that schools can purchase and
deliver themselves. We believe that this animated presentation will be a more
effective way to ensure we reach many more young people and can work with more
