Achlevements and Perforrnante Seven Up Charlty continues to offer a range of accessible and inclusive senrices, including the delivery of alternate Saturday play sessions Itwo per monthl for children aged 5-11 years and youth sesslons for young people aged 12-25 years, as well as holiday youth programmes and playschemes throughout the vear. The after-school provision has been supported with additional funding from the BCC Wraparound Childcare Grant. This has enabled us to maintain this OFSfED-registered provision for families who are working or engaged in higher education. We continue to manage a commissioned service at Hamilton School- a Fridav in-school play session for children whose parents or carers are unavailable to collect them at 1.00 pm. The development of our 19+ skills-focused session5 continues. Earlier this year, we were informed that this offer is now included on the BCC Adult Day Opportunities Register. The 2025-26 year has seen a recovery from the financial challenges of previous years. We entered 2026 in strong financial position. with our Reaching Communities Grant covering just over 50% of our service delivery and core costs. Looking beyond 2026, there are still uncertainties on the horizon a5 we navigate an increasingly competitive funding environment. However. we have increased our fundraising capacity through the promotlonal work of our Trustees and strategic support from a fundraisin8 specialist. Our work is strengthened through the relationships, partnerships, and support we receive from Dens of Equality, Children's Quarter, Hamilton Special School, Spurgeons Charity, ATHAC (Access to Heritage Arts and Culture), Crick Gardens CIC, and The Hive Jewellery Quarter. We would also like to extend a sincere thank you to our Trustees for their ongoing commitment, particularly as many are managing difficult personal circumstances.
We are grateful for the continued support of our main grant funders.. Reachlng Communities, National Lottery Awards for All, Children's Quarter. and Birmingham Children's Trust. Their funding has enabled the continuation of our weekend and holiday provision. We have a150 been able to sustain these services through core cost grant support from the Garfield Westoll Foundation and The Eveson Trust.
