**YOUTH HUB** 2022 saw the launch of the Exodus Hub @ Croyland Youth Centre located in Edmonton N9 in one of the most deprived areas in one of the most underserved boroughs in London, Enfield. We opened our doors on Wednesday the 13[th of] April and provide a free open access youth centre with a variety of activities available for young people to enjoy. This has proved to be extremely successful, and with word of mouth and networking, by the end of year we regularly welcome 32 young people on a Wednesday (aged 7-12) and 13 on a Thursday (aged 13-19 or 25 if SEND) on average. This is increasing on a weekly basis as more and more young people learn about the youth hub and its services and register with us. We also provide holiday activities including trips and parties for the young people. 

We have invested in furniture, sports and art equipment, board games, cooking equipment and other equipment so that our young people have a wealth of opportunities at the Hub. We have received funding from Enfield Council to run HAF (Holiday and Food) programmes. 

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

**JUBILEE 2022** Using the Youth Hub as a base, we were able to secure funding for the Jubilee from the London Community Fund and the Arts Council of £7838 with which we ran a series of workshops on “What does “Jubilee” mean to me?” culminating in the creation of an Exodus Hub mural and a community celebration for over 188 local children, young people, and their families. We worked with local artists Doodle Designs for the workshops and mural, and Tiger Monkey Ltd to create a legacy film piece encapsulating the essence of the project in our community. 

**H.E.L.P. (Healthy Eating & Lifestyles Programme)** We wrote a softer skills development programme designed to help prepare youth for the real world of school/college/university/work/life in a safe space alongside trusted adults in the five areas of Healthy Eating, Financial, Mental and Physical Health and Personal Safety. It fills gaps left by mainstream PSHE, which are often light touch, one-off, leaving youth with unanswered questions, seeking answers from peers or social media where information is not always factual, often causing more confusion and questions. We will empower youth with the information and knowledge they need to make informed choices through recurring workshops in the five areas mentioned. We received funding from the Faith New Deal pilot for this project of £6500 - £4550 of which was received in 2022 with the rest to follow in 2023.  We also received a grant from Groundwork of £1125 to continue the programme. 

**FOOD SUPPORT PROGRAMME** This year we took our Food Support Programme into its third year. We continue to work with a consortium of organisations, delivering food parcels including freshly prepared meals and fresh produce, snacks etc to families that have been referred to us. We run local Community Food hubs in collaboration with St. Annes Catholic High School for Girls in Enfield for families to collect their food from, giving them more choice and autonomy. We were also able to provide toiletries, including sanitary products, and cleaning products. We received £2500 funding from Arnold Clark to support this project and funding from Enfield Council of over £8000. 

## **EASTER APPEAL** 

We ran an Easter Egg Appeal this year to provide Easter eggs to children and young people. We raised over £165 and with additional donations of Easter eggs from Edmonton Green Centre and St Annes Catholic High School for Girls and other local organisations, we were able to donate 

**TAR** 

March **2012**

more than 200 chocolate eggs to local children and young people including families supported by our Food Support programme and through the Enfield Women’s Centre and Enfield Young Carers. 

## **LOVE CHRISTMAS 2022** 

As a recognised Love Your Neighbour Hub we took part in the “Love Christmas” Appeal and raised over £10348 (including match funding and in kind donations) to provide 1012 Christmas hampers and Bags of Kindness including 68 family luxury food and gift hampers, 350 goodie bags for a “Love Christmas” Santa experience, 165 homeless boxes, women’s refuge parcels and 30 bags of seasonal treats for a local church outreach. We spent Christmas Eve working with the Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Stevenage and the local police to create hundreds of additional Bags of Kindness which were then hand delivered to homes in the local area. 

## **WARM SPACES** 

We received funding of £7000 for our Warm Spaces project which provided an inviting place for young people and their families to access a hot meal and drinks. We also wanted to go above and beyond this and provided our young people with blankets, socks, hot drink flasks, scarves and hot water bottles to take home to use there. 

## **YOUNG LEADERS** 

We have a group of young leaders who are volunteering with us and are working towards their AQA Intro to Youth Work. They are also DBS checked to allow them to work at the Youth Hub with us in school holidays. 

## **COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & ADVICE** 

We continue to engage with the community and share information of interest widely to those we support and those who follow us on social media. We have dedicated WhatsApp groups; one for volunteers, one for parents and one for our Young Leaders so we can share events/activities/information of interest. We continue to build a good social network and work with the community to support them as needed. We regularly survey the families we work with so we can know what is working well and what else we can do to further meet their needs. We work 1:1 with families in need in areas such as housing, debt, domestic abuse, EHCP, work and education, training, and much more. Where we are unable to support we have referral pathways in place to be able to refer to other professional specialist organisations. 

_**All the named trustees agree that public benefit reporting has helped our charity as it helps us to stay clear as to where we are able to support and helps us to see the value of our work and will help us a great deal moving forward to next year.**_

**Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

We recruited more volunteers to assist us with the collection and organising of food and to assist with the delivery to our clients where still required. They support with the Community Food Hub. We also have volunteers support at the Youth Hub and on trips. We have a group of Young Leaders who are working towards their AQA in Intro to Youth Work. 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: 

Volunteers do not at present have any contact with any children or vulnerable adults as deliveries are doorstep, no contact drops. Volunteers are all known to Exodus Youth Worx UK personally. 

- policy on grantmaking; 

- policy programme related investment; 

- contribution made by volunteers. 

Our volunteers have been instrumental in Exodus Youth Worx UK being able to carry out the activities that we have so far. 

Volunteers all wear a branded hoodie or t-shirt when delivering so they are visible and recognisable to our clients. 

All volunteers are DBS and safeguarding trained and are offered opportunities for additional training in areas such as child protection, coaching and mentoring, emergency first aid and Food Hygiene.

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

We opened our Youth Hub finally reaching our goal that Covid meant we could not realise until April 2022. We currently run the Hub from an Enfield Council maintained youth centre that we have access to. Our presence and impact in t he area grows with more young people signing up each week. 

We continue to increase our presence locally in Enfield but also across the Southeast. This was very clear during our Love Christmas campaign when we were able to support young people, families, the homeless and many more from London to Wales and across the Southeast. 

We now have around 53 regular volunteers who act as food support workers, youth workers, delivery drivers, and a cook enabling us to deliver to families each week. 

We currently support around 130 families regularly and receive referrals in addition to this. We provide fresh food and longlife items along with toiletries and cleaning products and sometimes clothes. 

We are a valued a member of the Enfield Food Alliance which helps us access more funding from Enfield Council and other organisations. It also helps us collaborate with trusted partners. 

We worked with Jennifer Cole a researcher about mutual aid and our work contributed to a report published in May 2022. 

We have expanded our income streams and are now signed up with Amazon Smile and Easyfundraising. 

Senior members of the charity have been able to access training including; 

- First Aid 

- PREVENT & Radicalisation Workshop 

- Youth Mental Health First Aid 

- Substance Misuse and Hidden Harm 

- Dealing with Anger 

- Sexual Health and Relationships 

- Recognising Behaviour as Communication in Secondary Aged Children 

- Positive Interventions - Helping children and young people to develop self-resilience and self-management 

Volunteers have also received DBS checks, safeguarding and child protection training and have been recognised by Enfield Council in their 100 hours programme. 

We have been a part of focus groups on “Addressing food poverty in Enfield” and attended the London Child Poverty Summit in October. 

We were invited again to participate in the Platinum Winter Wonderland and the Enfield Parade of Lights enabling us to meet more residents and speak to them about our plans and raise awareness and money for the charity.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31.12.2022 

**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of  the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

**Independent** The charity’s gross income did not exceed £250,000 and I am qualified to **examiner's statement** undertake the examination. 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
