Board of trustee8
The trustees are responsible for the governance and strategy of the Charity.
During this financial year, all Trustee meetings were held by Zoom. The
mixture of trustees brought a balanced mix of skills in governance, business,
and administration.
Kids Against Plastic supports the principles of good governance set out in the
Charity Governance Code for smaller charities.
Trustees have independent control over, and legal responsibility for, the
Charity's management and administration.
They must:
Comply with the Charity's governing document and the law
Act in the Charity's best interests
Manage the Charity's resources responsibly
Act with reasonable care and skill
Ensure the Charity is accountable.

Initiatives
Plastic Clever Schools
The Plastic Clever Schools initiative is based on the Plastic Clever scheme
and was developed to specifically support schools and students to reduce
their plastic usage. The scheme aims to empower young people to become
educated on plastic waste, and to be the changemakers against it in their
schools and communities.
Plastic Clever Schools has three stages to it that schools work through -
Inspire, Investigate and Act. These stages take schools through the process of
raising awareness of plastic pollution within the whole school, auditing the
most-used plastics in school, and reducing their use of them.
In mid-2021, Kids Against Plastic partnered with the environmental
organisation Common Seas to help deliver the Plastic Clever Schools
programme (see more below under 'Partnerships') and still continue to work
with them.
The KAP Club
CLUPI
The KAP Club is a group of over 300 young people from I0+ countries that
KAP supports and works with to encourage them to act on issues they are
passionate about or interested in. Amy and Ella run a weekly Zoom meeting
called the KAP Connect, where club members take part in activities and run
their own, present to the others about topics that they are interested in and
share what environmental actions they have been doing each week, and take
part in the weekly challenges. Children from the club also receive regular
newsletters.
The club is a great source of community for the members, as they give and
receive advice on their actions and develop their skills with a supportive
group around them, even becoming friends with fellow members no matter
the distance between them in person.

KIDS
As part ofthe KAP Club, Amy and Ellawork more closely with a ￿roUp
of youth members in the Development Team, to allow them to run their own
challenges and activities as part of the Club, and also provide them
opportunities outside the meetings (such as joining them at public speaking
events). The KAP Club also uplifts the campaigns ofyouth members-
including Skye's KAPtat campaign, and Ali's One in a Million pick up.
Litter picking + Be Plastic Clever app
1 IAILLION LITfER PICK
The litter picking app created in partnership with Esri continues to be used to
record litter picking all over the world. Many of the KAP Club members
record their litter picking totals using the app.
It has been promoted and used regularly to support Ali's One in a Million
pick up campaign.
