As participants tackle increasingly challenging cycling routes, they build confidence, overcome fears, and strengthen their perseverance. Cycling Stronger is more than just exercise; it teaches young people how to approach life’s challenges with courage and determination, equipping them with the physical and mental resilience needed to excel. This daily breakfast initiative goes beyond just providing nourishment. Held in a warm and welcoming communal setting, Toast Together allows young people to start their day with a meal, surrounded by friends and mentors who provide emotional support. This program fosters a strong sense of community, reduces feelings of isolation, and ensures that each participant begins their day ready to learn, grow, and tackle the challenges ahead with a clear mind and full heart. An essential holiday support initiative, Dinner Dreams ensures that no child or young person in our community goes to bed hungry. During school holidays, when access to regular meals may be limited, we provide nourishing, home-cooked meals and meal packages for young families. This program offers comfort, stability, and reassurance to families in need, reinforcing our commitment to supporting them every step of the way. Through Dinner Dreams, we alleviate food insecurity and create an atmosphere of warmth and security. ## past and ongoing projects continued ## digital futures ## bushcrafting camp Focused on life and work-readiness skills, Digital Futures provides young people and young adults with the digital literacy, problem-solving abilities, and work readiness needed to succeed in today’s world. With sessions covering topics like coding, digital design, resume-building, and interview skills, this program inspires participants to think creatively, dream big, and pursue entrepreneurial ambitions. Through hands-on workshops and real-world placements, Digital Futures empowers young people to envision and create brighter futures, equipped with the skills they need to thrive professionally and personally. The Bushcrafting Camp was an exhilarating outdoor program designed for young people aged 10-16, providing them with an unforgettable opportunity to explore the natural world. Participants engaged in hands-on activities that taught essential survival and wilderness skills, fostering self-reliance and a deeper appreciation for the environment. Through challenges such as shelter building, fire-making, and foraging, campers developed resilience and confidence as they learned to navigate the great outdoors. This program not only instilled a sense of adventure but also empowered young hearts to embrace nature and discover their inner strength, leaving them with lasting memories and valuable skills that will serve them for a lifetime. **----- Start of picture text -----**

Through shared breakfasts and interactive sessions, Cocoa Chats aims to strengthen family bonds, foster communication, and create lasting connections. We envision this as a supportive space where families can come together, build resilience, and start each day stronger and more connected. Building on the success of our current program, we aim to expand Cycling Stronger to reach more young people, enhancing the curriculum to include advanced cycling skills, road safety, and leadership training. By broadening access and introducing new elements, we hope to empower even more youth with the confidence, health benefits, and personal resilience that cycling brings. ## culinary connections Our exciting new initiative, Culinary Connections, aims to engage young people in the art of cooking and baking, fostering creativity and essential life skills. Designed for ages 12-18, this program will feature weekly workshops led by experienced chefs and nutritionists, where participants will learn a variety of cooking techniques, explore diverse cuisines, and understand the importance of healthy eating. Each session will not only focus on culinary skills but also emphasise teamwork, communication, and cultural appreciation through food. The program will culminate in a community potluck event, allowing participants to showcase their creations, strengthen bonds, and share their culinary journey, while building confidence and self-esteem along the way. These new initiatives represent our ongoing commitment to innovation, community, and support, as we help young people—and their families— step confidently into a brighter future. ## from the hearts of those we’ve helped... ## **THE HAPPY AND HEALTHY TRUST Trustees' Annual Report Year ended 31 December 2023** The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the period ending 31 December 2023. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** The charity is governed by a Declaration of Trust.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. ## **Going concern** There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. ## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.

The Trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed below. ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
