Trustees’ Annual Report
Objectives and Activities
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document Para 1.17
To act as a resource for disadvantaged young people living in Nottinghamshire by providing advice and assistance and organising programs of education, entrepreneurial, practical skills and other activities as a means of:
(a) advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities, and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature, and responsible individuals; and
(b) advancing education; and
(c) relieving unemployment; and
(d) promote their strengths, abilities.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.
Para 1.17 and 1.19
The charity has several programs that aim to support young people in different ways which I will give a brief overview below.
-
(a) Youth Enterprise Challenge, gives young people a flavour of what it’s like to be an entrepreneur. It gives them a chance to think of a new business idea and make it happen, using real money to take calculated risks in the business field, make a profit – and make a difference.
-
(b) Employ-ability program is continuously being developed to proactively engage with young people in order to help them to identify and develop the skills needed for the world of work.
-
(c) YEEA Youth Awards is about rewarding a young person who has demonstrated outstanding ability/skill in their community.
-
(d) Coat for Children campaign stated in mid-December of 2021 is providing vulnerable children a free warm coat over the winter period, this annual campaign comes as hundreds of vulnerable children across the UK are left out in the cold this winter.
-
(e) Listen to Every Voice campaign addresses the underdiagnosis of developmental challenges—particularly in girlsdue to gender bias, lack of professional training, and insufficient value placed on parental insights. We advocate for balanced developmental assessments, comprehensive training for healthcare professionals, early intervention in schools, and increased funding for educational support. Through awareness-raising, advocacy, partnerships, and community engagement, we aim to ensure every child receives timely, effective support and the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Achievements and Performance
Para 1.20:
During this period, the charity has continued to develop its programmes to align with Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Education, a core subject within the school curriculum in England. Our work supports the development of essential knowledge, skills, and attributes that help keep children and young people healthy, safe, and prepared for life and work.
We have paid particular attention to the issues and concerns facing young people and their future employers. Through targeted research and surveys, we aim to ensure our support is relevant and effective. Despite challenges, including illness among key staff, our focus this year has been on research and development, strengthening our foundation for future programme delivery.
To date, the charity has supported just over 150 young people, primarily aged 8–18 from the East Midlands. Our support has included helping young people recognise and develop their abilities, write cover letters and CVs, and, for some, secure interview opportunities. These efforts have enabled young people to participate in society as more confident and responsible individuals.
However, external challenges such as the ongoing public health crisis (Covid19), Brexit, and the current economic climate have impacted our activities and the lives of those we support. Despite these difficulties, we remain committed to our mission and continue to adapt our approach to best serve young people in our community.
Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period Para 1.21
The charity is in sustainable at this level indefinitely and how at the moment it does not have any reserves. Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held Para 1.22
The reserves that we set aside provide financial stability in the event of a drop in income and the means for the development of our principal activities such as allowing the charity to take advantage of new opportunities. We intend to maintain our reserves at a level which is at least equivalent to one thousand pounds to be used in the following manner:
a. Cover core costs
b. Replacement of key equipment required to carry out our activities c. Advantage of new opportunities
The Charity does not hold any reserves at moment due to it been used to cover an annual utility bill which was not cover by standard fundraising because the costs of the pandemic linger.
The Board regularly reviews the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil our continuing obligations.
- (f) Research as a charity, we pay attention to issues and concerns young people and their future employer have, in order to provide the best possible support for them. Our research and evaluations deliver insights into the dreams, hopes and aspirations of young people, as well as the barriers they face to succeed this in turn helps us to continually update and develop our programs.
