In 2023-24, All Stars continued to operate our Young Leaders cycle in-person, following our return from the COVID-19 pandemic. Training events took place once again in central London (this time at the LIFT community centre near Angel, in Islington), allowing young people from different geographical regions to attend. Following its success last year, our summer Mentorship Programme also returned – with a combination of online and in-person sessions for the young people. In-person meetings with mentors and a final Graduation ceremony, with a keynote speaker from JP Morgan, were held at the offices of Davidson Kempner in Mayfair.

Typically, our charity offers a cycle of work conducted to help young people from London’s poorest neighbourhoods to ‘perform their lives’ and gain access to enriching education and training opportunities that prepare them for success in the future world of work or further education.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Each cycle begins with recruitment of a new cohort of young people aged 14-20 for our Young Leaders Programme , who participate in a set of leadership trainings and activities intended to build their confidence at self-presentation, public speaking, teamwork and community organising. In the initial months, the young people are led through workshops that build their confidence via performance-based training activities offering transferrable leadership skills that they can bring into future ‘roles’ in the real world. This period includes Bridge-building visits where they meet with and receive guidance from professionals across a range of fields such as finance, tech, journalism and the arts, building the skills necessary to enter the world of work. Armed with developing confidence and new skills, the Young Leaders take on the task of producing a Community Event , working as recruiters, organisers, hosts, event staff and workshop leaders to put their skills into practice and serve as leaders to other young people. Rather than a Talent Show, this year’s group opted to produce an all-day event that was focused on London’s diverse and welcoming communities – it featured live music, games and prizes, diverse food from around the world and a gallery show of art created in response to questions about where people feel at home. The entire event grew out of Planning Sessions facilitated by our Programme Coordinator, guiding and shaping input and ideas form the young people themselves, who learned to work as a team, dividing up the different tasks amongst themselves to pull off the day’s events. All Young Leaders who completed the programme through the Talent Show were offered an extended opportunity on our Summer Mentorship Programme , hosted in-person at the offices of the financial firm Davidson Kempner European Partners in Mayfair. Each Young Leader was paired with an individual mentor, from DK, receiving bespoke guidance on career and educational goals, meeting every two weeks across July and August. The entire cycle concluded with a Graduation Ceremony, also hosted at DK in September. Whether ‘performing’ on Bridge-Building sessions with professionals or in the Workshops and hosting the Community Event, the entire corps of Young Leaders develop their capacity for self-presentation, as well as their skills for working collaboratively. They then get to put those skills into practice through one-on-one work with their Mentors, as they think through their goals for the next stage of their education and professional lives, preparing for work opportunities or university admission. Our Programme Coordinator tracks the young people’s attendance and records feedback about their development over the course of the cycle, which is duly reported to our funders. The Trustees have had due regard that these activities meet the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

• policy on grantmaking;

• policy programme related investment;

• contribution made by volunteers.

In 2023-24, the charity continued our arrangement of contracted work by a part-time Programme Coordinator to oversee the administration of the Young Leaders/Talent Show cycles. Whereas that role had in previous years been taken by Chantelle Burley (who helped found the charity), this year we recruited a new coordinator, Ann-Marie Williams, who brought experience in both the youth development world and in high-level event management.

In addition to the work of our Trustees, the charity has benefitted from the contributions of adult volunteers who organised and facilitated various Bridge-Building sessions for the young people.

The most notable contributions were made by our volunteer mentors, the core of whom came from our longstanding corporate partner Davidson Kempner, organised by DK employees Natalie Moore and Patrick Sherwen. After receiving training from our Co-Organisers, mentors met bi-weekly with their individual mentees across the months of July and August, offering individual guidance and feedback on work including CVs, university application essays and much more, all tailored to the individual young person’s personal goals.

Section D Achievements and performance

	Achievements and performance
	This year, as ever, we reached out to a wide range of professionals across many industries and scheduled a slate of Bridge-Building sessions that represented a diverse and appealing range of workshops for our Young Leaders. They
	included:
	- Communications & PR firm Lodestone Communications
	- International Finance firm JP Morgan
	- Arts & Immigration charity Fire & Ice
	- Food & Immigration charity Migrateful
	In total, 12 Young Leaders completed our 2023 cycle. Whilst this number was
	smaller than past years’ cohorts, it was notable for the high degree of retention:
	with all participants staying with the project consistently from the start through to
	the Summer. They built their confidence and social skills through meeting
	regularly in-person and collaboratively organising the Community Event, taking
	on roles as tech staff, hosts, performers, curators and many other roles.
	This intensive training in leadership, professional skills and self-presentation
	yields personal impacts in a short space of time, and prepared the Young
	Leaders for Summer Mentorship, the culmination of the programme, rated by
	90% of participants as the most valuable aspect of the programme.
	Here’s a sampling of feedback about what they gained:
	-I received valuable pointers, tips and general advice on how to best navigate this
	time in my life, how to prepare myself for future work or education, alongside
	how to improve my resume and present myself in an interview situation.
	-Further developed my ability to take initiative and academic, work skills
	-I understood the university application process better and had a much clearer
	idea of the process and importance of choosing a place right for me
	-I improved my interview skills and how to answer challenging questions
	-I learnthow to work hardereffectively

Section D Achievements and performance

On the other end, mentors also reported on the programme’s benefits: -Very rewarding. It was almost like being able to pass on some advice I would like to have given to my younger self. -I noticed Malachi growing more confident in his self. He got stuck in the tasks given and from his work I could see he really enjoyed it. -I feel he’s grown a lot and have taken much of the feedback on board. Very impressed and proud with Omar’s progress. -Working as a mentor made me grow as a person and getting to understand another angle of life. In our evaluations, 100% of young people and 100% of volunteer Mentors reported that they would recommend the Programme to others. In a year of financial and staffing strain for the charity, it is gratifying that our programming was able to continue so successfully. All young people and adult volunteers who participated reported impactful outcomes and great satisfaction.

Section E Financial review

As noted in last year’s report, our charity has been dealing with a challenging Brief statement of the funding environment since the conclusion of the COVID-19 pandemic. charity’s policy on reserves Historically, much of the charity’s work has been spearheaded by our two CoOrganisers, Chantelle Burley and Brian Mullin. With Chantelle this year taking time off to pursue a degree in Social Work, the day-to-day tasks of operating the programme proved challenging, particularly the time spent in training and onboarding our newly recruited Programme Coordinator to jump in and lead on unfamiliar work.

With our human resources stretched thin, we had limited capacity to pursue new funding relationships. Applications submitted to some trusts were unfortunately unsuccessful. Following the conclusion of the 2023 Young Leaders cycle, with limited funds in the bank, the decision was taken in Winter 2024 to put a pause on recruiting a new cohort until after the completion of Chantelle’s degree, in order to reassess the charity’s strategy and organisational model.
