## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period**
**From 1[st] January 2023 to 31[st] December 2023**
**Charity name: City Kids Surfing**
**Charity registration number: 1182899**
## **Objectives and Activities**
City Kids Surfing works for the public benefit to advance the lives of young people living in urban locations in the United Kingdom through providing recreational and leisure activities in the interest of social welfare for young people who have a need by reason of their social and economic circumstances, with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons, in particular by providing opportunities to go surfing.
Specifically City Kids Surfing works to raise children’s awareness of ocean-related activities and concerns including:
- Improving their swimming ability
- Raising awareness of beach safety
- Raising awareness of coastal conservation issues
- Giving an understanding of the wider surfing industry
- To share the benefits of engaging with the ocean for an individual’s physical, mental, social and environmental wellbeing.
## **Achievements and Performance**
2023 has been a year of further development for City Kids Surfing. We have continued to develop our partnerships with primary schools in London, corporate partners and other charitable relationships. It has been exciting to see our team of volunteers develop, and find new people to connect with and support the City Kids Surfing cause.
During the year we ran a wonderful programme crafted for two primary schools, working with some of their pupil premium children in year 5. This involved spending time with the staff and pupils in school, raising their awareness of both ocean conservation and coastal safety, as well
as developing their understanding of holistic health – i.e. not just physical wellbeing.
Our programme culminated in a fantastic weekend in North Devon, experiencing time at the beach and gaining insight into the beauty and power of the ocean. During the weekend they all had the opportunity to learn to surf over a number of lessons. All of the children improved greatly, finding joy and challenge in the waves, pushing themselves out of their comforts zones within the safety of a great team around them.
As ever our programme included a focus on healthy eating – both eating healthily over the weekend, as well as inviting the children to play their own part in food preparation and learn new skills and meal ideas to take home with them. They made their own pizzas and their own burgers, growing in their knowledge of how to make healthy choices around food.
A growing part of the programme has also been on mindfulness and deliberate movement. We had great sessions helping the children be mindful of their thoughts, emotions and bodies, as well as giving the opportunity to take part together in a HIIT (high intensity interval training) session. This enabled them to think about how they challenge and support their bodies, and again gained skills and practices that they could take will them beyond the year’s programme.
With increasing costs each year, City Kids Surfing faces challenges in raising sufficient funding to run our activities. In 2024, we will seek to diversify our income, collaborate further with existing and new partners and find ways of making cost efficiencies.
It’s exciting seeing how City Kids Surfing has grown this year, and the individuals who have come on board are keen to see it further develop. Recognising that it is important that our organisation reflects the children it supports, we plan to increase diversity among our volunteers and Trustees in 2024, specifically targeting more women and ethnically diverse communities to support our mission and increase our impact.
