| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Activities and Achievements During 2025, United Borders continued to deliver early intervention and mentoring programmes for children and young people at risk of violence, criminal exploitation, school exclusion and other adverse outcomes. Our services included one-to- one mentoring, detached youth outreach, group activities, safeguarding support and creative engagement delivered through our mobile youth provision. The charity strengthened partnerships with schools, local authorities, housing providers, children's social care, police and community organisations to improve referral pathways and provide coordinated support for vulnerable young people. A significant achievement during the year was the continued progression of our Building an Understanding of Self (B.U.S.) programme through the Youth Endowment Fund's evaluation process, supporting the development of evidence-based practice in youth violence prevention. United Borders also expanded its role within the IAMBRENT consortium, increasing collaborative delivery of violence reduction and early intervention initiatives across Brent. New strategic partnerships were established with Peabody and Sovereign Network Group (SNG), enabling the charity to extend mentoring and community outreach into local neighbourhoods and increase access to support for young people. During the year, the charity also began developing the Melody Project in partnership with Oasis Restore, England's first Secure School. The project aims to use music-based mentoring and creative engagement to support the rehabilitation and personal development of children within the youth justice system. Alongside programme delivery, the charity invested in strengthening its governance, safeguarding, financial management and organisational infrastructure to support continued growth and ensure high-quality, sustainable service delivery. The trustees remain satisfied that the charity continues to deliver clear public benefit through early intervention, partnership working and targeted support that helps young people build resilience, improve wellbeing and make positive life choices. |
