Exodus Youth Worx UK — Trustee Annual Report — 1 st January 2024-31 St December 2024

o. usuHu - -cro .1andY.outh,Cen r

April 2024 saw us celebrate the second anniversary 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.

The Exodus Hub @ Croyland is a free, open-access, safe space 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 between 30-70 young people on a Wednesday (primary aged 6-11) and 15-40 young people on a Thursday (secondary and college aged 11-19 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 HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) hubs with funding from Enfield Council and holiday activities including trips and parties for the young people over the year.

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)

We were successful in receiving funding to run a Summer Uni programme in Summer 2024 with a focus on sports, hair and beauty, vision boards and jewellery making workshops alongside our open access activities.

We continue to invest in sports and art equipment, board games, cooking equipment and other equipment so that our young people have a wealth of opportunities at the Hub.

o ust u

In October we began providing Exodus Youth sessions from another youth centre in Edmonton called NYCC. We were able to bring a different kind of workshop including creative arts, jewellery, and mentoring

This organisation also supports us with in-kind office space and we are both members of the Edmonton Steering Committee.

.E.L.R. eal h {Ea in R. ifes les, Pro ramme

We continue to run our bespoke 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 E7000 in funding from the Enfield Voluntary Action. The National Lottery also funded us for this project as part of the €33,000 of which E29,279 was received in 2024 with the remainder being received in 2025. The rest of this funding was used to deliver additional hours of youth work and allowed us to run additional sessions and have an inhouse coach to rovide coachin and mental health su ort to our oun

people. We also received the remainder of the grant from Groundwork E375 to continue the programme.

xodus Yout Made — Desi' n & Creat

Exodus Youth Made is a bold, creative intervention designed to tackle deep-seated issues affecting Edmonton's youth including gang involvement, county lines, exploitation, school exclusion and mental health crisis.

Using arts-based diversionary activities, we will deliver design workshop through a variety of methods including recycling and upcycling, heat press, Cricut and resin to create bespoke products including jewellery, clothing, accessories and gifts from September 2025 to March 2026.

This multi-layered project takes a product from pencil and paper designs to an exhibition finale, incorporating mood boards, mock ups and final pieces showcasing the story or the inspiration behind the piece. This is an important opportunity for our youth to open up and share their experiences should they wish.

We received El 9,964 from the National Lottery Awards for All to deliver this programme over two years.

ommuni Su ort Pro ramm

This year we took our Food Support Programme into its fifth year. We continue to work with a consortium of organisations, providing food support to families that have been referred to us. We ran 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 provide hot meals and refreshments at our Youth Hub. We received a donation of E 700 of ASDA vouchers from the Rotary Club to support this project and we use unrestricted funds and fundraising to support this.

OVE C H RISTMAS 202

As a recognised Love Your Neighbour Hub we took part in the "Love Christmas" Appeal for the fifth year and provided 1400 Christmas hampers and Bags of Kindness including family luxury food and gift hampers, goodie bags for a "Love Christmas" Santa experience, homeless boxes, women's refuge parcels and bags of seasonal treats for a local church outreach. It was the second year we also had a pop up donation point kindly gifted to us by Palace Gardens Shopping Centre in Enfield for the whole month of December where we ran a donation point, gift wrapping service, preloved shop, a tech repair point with NYCC and a community café.

The overall Love Christmas campaign value including retail space, branding, promotions and staffing surpassed €26,000, underscoring the extraordinary effort and commitment of everyone involved. We received a grant of E3,500 from the Church Revitalisation Trust (Love Your Neighbour).

Exodus Youth Worx UK — Trustee Annual Report — 1st January 2024-31St December 2024

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 and when we need casual staff.

We have applied to be a member of the Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme.

We have begun to make known that we will accept young people doing their Duke of Edinburgh awards for volunteering and project work.

-ommuni en a ement su ort and advic

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.
