Having regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, and in line with our objective, the Trustees organise 4 weeks of summer holiday activities and lunches for young people nominated by the primary schools they attend in St Peter’s Ward in the London Borough of Islington.

Volunteer Input

The programme benefited from the enormous amount of voluntary hours put in by our Education Advisor, volunteers and trustees in planning the programme, providing ongoing support to the teachers and cooking and serving lunches and snacks.

We were once again given a very useful discount by the Arc Community Centre where the Project was situated whose staff were very helpful in the daily organisation of the project.

Assistance in Kind

We were fortunate to receive the services of a daily cleaner free of charge to ensure we remained Covid-compliant throughout our opening hours. Our insurance cover was also given at no charge. The young peoples’ lunches were provided through the local authority and our local cafe kindly provided treats at break times.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

As a result of Covid-19 we had to restructure the programme significantly from its 2019 format. Using the guidance that had been prepared nationally for schools and outdoor activities providers, and adhering closely to further advice from Islington Council, we decided to hire a second room in the Arc Centre so we could split the group into two discrete pods to maintain social distancing.

The diverse group of children comprised Black Caribbean, Dual Heritage, Black African, Bangladeshi, White British, White Other and Chinese. The gender balance was 52% boys and 48% girls

During the 4 weeks of the 2020 summer holidays activities included:

literacy with inspirational input on creative writing from a local children’s author;
discussions reflecting on such subjects as the impact of Covid-19 and transition to secondary school;
sport including kayaking with Islington Boat Club and ball games in Shoreditch Park;
theatre by Zoom;
cooking basics such as fairy cakes and apple crumble – all in their home rooms – and even making pizza from scratch;
art including making clay wind chimes, painting bird boxes making cross-stitch bookmarks and freedom bracelets;
displays, one using paint and collage, based on the work of three different artists with different techniques;

Feedback from children parents and teachers showed the project was very successful:

Children’s

“helped me to get back into a routine”

“gave me more confidence”

“helped me make friends for the transition”
“it was nice to be around people”

Parents

“He had an amazing experience yesterday (kayaking). Thank you for organising such a lovely experience for the children”

“She really enjoyed summer school and loved the variety of activities. Thank you and all the staff for organising it”

Teachers

“Super that this project was redesigned to go ahead during the pandemic”

“From my observations, the project was a huge success. We followed (Covid-19) guidance well and children/parents felt safe and reassured which was reflected in attendance”

“The art project encouraged the boys to work together and helped develop teamwork skills. This project helped them with their anxieties around socialising and travelling to school.”
