## Brixton Wings End of Year Report 2023. 

Brixton Wings Unit 4, Fairfax House Overton Road London SW9 7JR www.brixtonwings.org.uk 

Charity No. 1173571 

## **Chair’s Report** 

Our dedicated team of teachers, trustees, inspiring volunteers, and parents are fully committed to ensuring we provide the best possible learning and skills development environment for disadvantaged and underrepresented young people living in the Angell Town and surrounding estates in Brixton.  We provide resources and facilities for Early Intervention Programs, including weekly after-School group music lessons, a comprehensive Saturday school, and an array of weekly and mid-term sports and digital technology VR and AR activities. 

We deliver individual and group learning and development activities from our Brixton Wings centre, along with partnering with other organizations such as London Youth Rowing (LYR), Ebony Horse Club, School Ground Sound Sounds (Grounded Sounds), the National Theatre, Lambeth Sounds, Electechlab and Millennium Community Solutions.   Our centre is designed to facilitate group classroom activities with an array of musical instruments, from a classical baby-grand piano, 3 electric baby-grands, a host of electric keyboards/guitars, acoustic guitars, amps, drums, to music workbooks and music production equipment. 

This year we further developed our Saturday School to include a focus on STEM subjects and a chess club with a view to expanding this range over the coming year, to include a Chess Tournament and weekly coding programmes.  We are seeking to secure funding for our Saturday School from the National Grid, and hope to expand the scope of the programme over 2024/’25. 

We further provide revision classes and remedial teaching for children and young people (CYP’s) transitioning from Primary School and preparing for Secondary School entrance exams, as well as ‘booster’ and revision classes for GCSE students who need additional support for their studies in Maths, Science and English. 

Our physical development and wellbeing programmes include weekly indoor rowing coaching sessions, complemented by week long mid-term on-water rowing programmes, presented in collaboration with London Youth Rowing and the Lambeth Sports and Development Team.  These initiatives are designed to enhance the confidence and resilience of our participants, while also increasing the capacity of the organization and community overall.  For example, we participate at the National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships (NJIRC) and the London Youth Games. 

During the 2022-2023 academic year, our music students have made considerable progress, including gaining Guildhall School of music Scholarships, enabling them to work on a one-to-one tutorship basis 



with the Centre for young musicians, London.  All students progress on a path from beginners to advanced, undertaking ABRSM set exams or choosing a more informal pathway which develops their individual playing skills as well as within ensemble environments. 

We continue to seek funding to sustain both our projects and our organization – and have been successful in 2022/23 to have been awarded funding by the following funders and organisations: 

Peter Minet Trust, Lambeth Council, TFL, Gemini - the Boat Race, and other partners. 

The Chair and trustees acknowledge and thank all of the above funders and partners without whom we would not be able to continue to provide the resources and facilities we do. 

Lil Sullivan, Chair
