In 2024 the Board met 10 times either in person at a central location or virtually by Zoom to discuss applications for grants, administrative needs, fundraising and development goals, marketing strategies and general financial and reporting duties.
Every meeting was chaired by the Directors and ensured the work done throughout the year upheld the mission statement and the general aims of the charity. Much of the forward planning for the year was achieved in these meetings.
Trustees give their time and support on a voluntary basis and receive no payment. In line with the charitable aims, all board members are under 35 years old and are encouraged to gain experience through their work with The Yolanda Moore Foundation. They are wellsupported by the Directors to pursue training and projects as they request them to develop their skills both for the charity and externally. All training and administration expenses (including the website www.tymf.co.uk) are covered privately by the family. Banking and accountancy services also incur no cost to the charity due to free support from professional service providers.
## **Aims, Objectves and Actvites**
Inspired by the life and aspirations of Yolanda Moore, the charity is committed to helping disadvantaged, ambitious young people reach their goals. The charity provides practical and financial help, through grants and mentoring, to assist 15 - 24 year olds from London, Dorset, Hampshire and Otago (New Zealand) pursue their passions and take their next big steps.
We particularly seek to help disadvantaged young people who do not have the opportunities and support that Yolanda did. Whether needing help to pursue a course, begin an internship or get a new suit for an interview, we’re here to help. We also seek to help young people who are passionate about helping others and make the world a better place, we provide support for them to travel and pursue voluntary experiences.
We fund both Personal Development Grants (to help pay for short courses, internships, volunteering opportunities etc) and Personal Support Grants (to help pay for interview clothes, travel for a specific event, equipment, materials etc).
We want to support applicants with the things that can be seen as “extra” but will make all the difference to them moving forward with their personal and professional development. We do not fund Subsistence, rent or general expenses, undergraduate or post graduate University fees, travel to School or University, Driving Lessons, Laptops or iPads.
In our sixth year our key strategies and activities were to develop the progress made in previous years:
- Continue good governance and organised running of the charity, including trustee roles, meetings, financial management and administrative duties.
- Further develop the grant-giving process that is accessible, wide-reaching and specific to our mission statement.
- Develop the marketing strategy; enhancing the website, social media platforms and mailing.
- Continue to operate a clear donations process for that is secure, accessible, and wellmanaged.
- Give more grants to individuals who meet our specified criteria.
- Develop the contacts in the Otago region of New Zealand to support children with skiing development.
Our key activities were to:
- Continue excellent governance concerning banking, the management board, charity commission, digital storage space, policies including GDPR and safeguarding.
- Continue to operate a fair and equitable application process for grant recipients.
- Hole at least 6 board meetings per year.
