Promoting social inclusion among young people who are excluded from society (for the purpose of this "socially excluded" means children or young people who are being excluded from society as a result of one of the following factors: gender re-assignment, financial hardship, ill health both physical and mental, poor education, family breakdown, disability or who are within or have experienced the public care system. Ensuring our work delivers our aims We review our aims, objectives. and activitie5 each year. The review looks at what we have achieved from the outcome of the previous 12 months work. We use the charity's commission general guidance on public benefit to help this. The review looks at the succe55 and benefits of each activity. The review helps us remain focused on our stated purpose.
Review of 2022 showed us that young people were still really enjoying the prom and it was still the highlight of the year. Although young people were enjoying online interactions, they really missed in person events. Outside walk and talk events were very popular and people wanted them to continue. The focus of our work The focus of A World With Friends continues to be to create advances in life, reduce isolation and loneliness and relieve the needs of children and young people suffering with, but not limited to, long term illness and disability. We do this through physical events. The young people, 5UPPOrted by adults. plan the events to learn new skills and also help other young people who are attending the events. ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable artivities In setting our objectives and planning our activities we have given careful consideration to the charities commi55ion general guidance on public benefit. Details are in the CEO report. Our main activities and who we try, and help are listed below Focusing on making advances in life Relieving the needs of children and young people excluded from society. Reducing isolation and loneliness. Help develop skills to access life and be part of society. Individual activities in 2023 included but were not limited to
Online quiz events Online get together and Chat Online Make-up Tutorials Online Music get togethers Planning the next A World With Friends Prom Outside walking events including parents, siblings. and extended families. Outside coffee and chat sessions In person meet and make friends sessions Getting to know your events The AWWF Prom which this year was held at a new venue on Southsea seafront. Victorious Festival. Over 50 young people and their parentslcarers went to their first ever festival. We still monitored the situation with covid and adhered to safety guidelines recommended from National youth agency. We also had our own covid guidelines which we continued to use due to the vulnerable nature of the young people that we work with including using hand sanitiser, wearing masks where appropriate for non-tested people and social distancing. Fundraising Activities We had a volunteer run the London Marathon which was amazing and raised a good amount of money
We had some private donations from people that had been to an event before Emma and Lewis managed to get AWWF selected as the chosen charity for the quarterly Linkedln Portsmouth event. The £1935 tickets sales were donated to the charity. In 2023 we used 'sponsor a table, to raise money for the yearly prom in Portsmouth. This was the first time we had tried this but due to difficulties getting people to fundraise we thought it was something new to try. Emma, Lewis, Ben, and Megan from the youth committee gave a talk to several hundred people at Linkedln Local at the Village hotel. After giving a presentation about the charity and pitching for sponsors for the prom they managed to get the new way to pay for prom off to a great start. Companies wishing to support the event could donate from £5(KI - £IOOO for a table. We managed to raise just under £3000 in sponsors which was a great success. On the networking event we also secured backing from St James Place who offered us a grant for £2500. The Grant was meant to be received before the prom date but due to a delay on their end we didn't receive this money until the month after. Emma Hine paid for the shortfall of money for the prom which was paid back through expenses when the grant was received. All receipts were attached in detail. We followed the guidance set by the government and The National Youth Agency when completing any risk assessment for fundraising. We had 100 VIP wrist bands donated from the Victorious Festival for young people and their carers to attend the day after prom
Future Plans We wish to continue generating sufficient income in order for the charity to be able to fulfil its objectives and principal activities. It would be great to take a group to a festival again as it had such an amazing response. STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing Document A World With Friends is a charitable incorporated organisation registered in England and Wales (registration number CE011962) which was registered- as a charity on 2 November 2017 (registered charity number 1175539) The charity was established under a foundation constitution which established the objectives of the charity.

NOTES 2023 was a very challenging year as CEO Emma Hine had been very unwell due to extreme pain with an unknown cause. This affected her ability to fundraise and get out and about which meant a lot of activities which would normally be held in the office or other venues were held locally with many meetings held in her home. In May 2023 it was discovered that Emma had advanced arthritis and had to have an unexpected hip replacement. At the end of July Founder Lewis Hine had emergency brain surgery after his life saving shunt blocked. With both Emma and Lewis recovering from major surgery it made running the charity very challenging. This resulted in a massive reduction in fundraising and so it was decided to move the prom to a different location that was more affordable. The youth committee visited different venues and agreed on the Gaiety Suite on Southsea Pier. The Prom on the Sea was born ! To the charities credit and with the help of volunteers and the youth committee the Portsmouth Prom still went ahead at the new venue at Gaiety Southsea and was a massive success! ! ! With Emma on crutches and Lewis with stitches in his head even more volunteers were needed to help hire vans and move equipment from the office in the Guildhall to the Pier and back again. It was a challenge! We didn't have the budget for a lot of accommodation, so it was only provided for those guests who travelled from a long distance like Liverpool. Many of the volunteers stayed with Emma and Lewis at their home and many volunteers paid for their own accommodation. It was a frequent comment that guests were struggling with no accommodation this year and unfortunately it meant some couldn't attend but we were facing unforeseen financial restrictions.
Something new and exciting for this year's prom. After the success of the Birmingham Prom in 2018 the members noted how amazing it was to make friends at the prom and then stay over and play golf/go swimming with their new friends the next day. With that in mind at thi5 year's prom all attendees were given VIP wristbands to the Victorious festival the following day. They made friends at the prom and then partied with them the following day at their first ever festival. With over 50 members and their parents/carers attending prom and then the festival it was an experience dreams are made of and made many young people very happy. 2023- what a year!
