RISING STARS YOUNG PEOPLE SERVICES CIO Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 December 2024
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
Rising Stars Young People Services CIO was set up to help young people from the inner city of Birmingham to achieve their highest potential. Our vision is to keep children away from the life of crime and utilising their time by participating in organised sporting activities. We use sports as a hook to attract young people from all walks of life, we then deliver life skills workshops to educate and broaden their knowledge about issues which they may face in day to day their life for example, bullying, e-safety, racism, knife crime, gang, drugs, alcohol, poor health, grooming, child sexual exploitation and county lines.
Our mentors and coaches tool these young people up with skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication, self-control, staying healthy and taking care of their mental health. So they can address these issues head on and they are also aware of the dangers and consequences of their actions. Most importantly, we create a non-judgemental and safe environment for young people, where they can come to make new friends, have fun, share their thoughts and feelings with professional people. Finally, Rising Stars Young People Services is a platform for young people to showcase their talent to rest of the community, we signpost many young people to other professional establishments where they can continue to pursue their passion and represent our community in a positive manner.
Significant Activities
Brief overview
Rising Stars Young People Services CIO continues to support over 1000 young people from ages 4 to 16 across the inner city of Birmingham every week. All three of our sport development centres are running on the weekend and evenings providing sporting activities for boys and girls. Our youth development hub is focusing on delivering life skills workshops for children and young adults. The sports facility are being used regularly by other community organisation and schools throughout the year.
Mental Health
The organisation continues our push towards better mental health for young people, part of a five-year project we continue to bring awareness to the community. Many small funders have also contributed to our “Shoot For Better Mental Health.” The project is delivered by our qualified mentors and sports coaches. Rising Stars have attracted many participants through the weekly sporting activities and then gradually identifying and delivering workshops to those who are vulnerable.
The workshops focussed on bullying, harassment, county lines, self-harm, substance abuse and other issues which the young people are facing in the area but are not sure how to deal with it. We are getting more young people to identify their feelings, open up and talk to professionals, friends and family members instead of keeping it in. Our team of mentors and coaches are very approachable and they maintain confidentiality at all times.
RS Youth Hub Project
Million Hours – Rising Stars have been delivering a youth drop in session three times a week for young people living in Aston and the surrounding area. It is a safe, relaxed non-judgmental setting where young people can participate in activities including pool, video console, art and craft, board games, reading and outdoor sporting activities. Supervised by our qualified youth workers, mentors and sports coaches. Supported by the national lottery.
Warm space/Homeless
We continue to help the less fortunate people who live on the streets of Birmingham, young people and parents help prepare meals and we hand them out across the city. Our warm space program gives people the opportunity to come and speak to our staff during allocated days and times in our centre, we help them with housing, employment and general support. Project supported by Birmingham City Council.
Put It down
Combating and educating young people of the dangers of carrying a knife, working closely with major charities including the West Midlands Crime Commissioner to deliver workshops and community awareness days across all our sites. Rising Stars have successfully installed a bleed control kit outside our youth Hub in Aston Park.
