The period covered by this report was our
most successful yet, Grants awarded totalled
over £26,600 which represents a more than
80% increase on the previous year. In total
nearly 160 young people were helped by
Olivia Inspires during the year which also
represents a 45% increase year on year.
**Olivia Inspires Sail Training Voyages**
After last year’s success of our trial voyage
and with the assistance of the balance of the
£10,000 of funding from Hampshire and Isle
of Wight Community Foundation’s Charles
Burnett Memorial Fund we offered 5-day
fully funded sailing voyages with our partner,
the Rona Sailing Project to all secondary
schools and colleges in the NFDC district. A
total of 7 voyages took place and 78
disadvantaged pupils benefited from the
transformative experience.
**Eaglewood School**
We continued our funding throughout the
period for a further 9 students to participate
in the New Forest Bike Project’s “Build a
Bike” course during which they rebuild a
scrap bike, learning valuable skills and
getting to take the completed bike home at
the end of the course.
**Woodlanders Course**
Olivia Inspires funding enabled 3 young
people to complete their 2-year vocational
course in traditional woodland skills, the
Woodlanders Course. The course provides
the young people with a portfolio of skills| which will be a good fit for college, particularly land-based courses. Another award saw a further 4 young people embark on the course. **portFOLIO Course** Our portFOLIO project in collaboration with Spudworks and Folio, the New Forest’s umbrella arts organisation proved to be really exciting! Professional artist Stephanie James worked with 6 young artists developing new skills and building confidence. **The Brilliant Club** New for this year was a project to bring the Brilliant Club’s Scholars Programme into New Forest schools. The programme is for disadvantaged young people who participate in an inspiring university-style course, taught by world-class PhD researchers through a series of tutorials, culminating in a challenging final assignment. The programme aims to build the pupils’ knowledge, skills and confidence to apply to the most competitive universities. The first iteration saw 10 young people, under the guidance of a PhD student from Southampton University investigate novel form of energy generation. **Peripatetic Music Lessons** 17 disadvantaged pupils from a New Forest School were able to access music lessons thanks to Olivia Inspires funding. Instruments included guitar, keyboards and voice. The project concluded with a concert and the lessons made a big impact, improving attendance and confidence. **Other Awards** There were also 24 grants awarded to individual applicants to fund activities including sports, IT and college courses. This is by no means an exhaustive list but gives a flavour of the diverse range of activities that Olivia Inspires supports. ## **Fundraising** We were grateful to receive continued support from University College, Durham (Olivia’s college) and the university sailing club who took part in a number of fundraising activities during the year and raised an impressive amount of money for Olivia’s charity. We also received generous donations from Highcliffe and Christchurch Rotary Clubs, the Lions Club of New Milton, Milford on Sea WI, Milford on Sea Girl Guiding, Freemasons in the Community and New Forest Business Partnership. The trustees would also like to thank the many private individuals who made donations to Olivia Inspires. **Other Notable Achievements** Once again Olivia Inspires attended events with the highlights being the New Forest Show, New Milton Youth Festival and Fawley’s Family Day. Recognition for our achievements came when we were named Charity of the Year in the Not-For-Profit section of the New Forest Brilliance in Business Awards. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against
