Jolnt Message from Ch#lr of Trustees and CEO
tkar Friends and Supporters,
As ive reflect on the past year. we are filled with a mix of pride and deep concern. It has been a year of both
remarkable 9lhie￿eMents and unprecedented challenges: and ￿￿e want to share both our triumphs and the critical
issues facing young people today.
First and foremost, we are incredibly proud of the progress we've made. Our programs reached over 875
cl)ildien and young people. which is a 25 /u increase on the previous year. From educatioi)al workshops and
n)entorship programs to Inei)tal health support and career guidance, we have been able to provide crucial
services that empower young people to rea¢h their full potential.
However, the impact of the cost-of-living crisis ha5 cast a long shadow over these Successes. This crisi5 ha5 hit
yuung peijple partiLularly hard, exaLerbatiii¥ existing batTierb and CTeatiii¥ new vnes. M￿Y ijf the young people
we servt <llt stTu¥glin¥ with Lhalltngts tl)ut no unt shuuld havt to £￿ILe. We were moi'ed tv fundraise for inuney
tv buy tiainers fur youn¥ people i￿.hO ivere tutning up tu uur bPOIts sebsiijns in luotwear th(It W￿￿ Lumin¥ dpklrt.
Whenever we could we provided young people with a hot Ineal at our weekly drop-in service. knowing for some
it would be their only l)ot meal of the day.
Rising costs of essentials like food. housing, and tran5POrtation have made it difficult for families to make ends
meet, leading to increased stress and instsbility. For many, the dream of higher education or stable employinent
fe£ls increasingly out of reach.
The8e barriers are not just financial
they are emotional and psychological, too. The constant stress and
uncertainty have taken a toll on the mental well-being of young people. We've witnessed a rise in anxiety,
depression, and feelings of liopelessness aniong those we Se￿£. It's clear that the cost-of-ll￿Ing crisis is not jiist
about economics,. it's about the very fabric of our society and tlie future of the next generation.
Yet, in the face of these challenges, we have also witnessed incredible resilience and detemiination. The young
people we ivork with are some of the most inspiring individuals ive know. They are finding ways to navigaie
these tough times, drawing strength from their communitieq and from the support we ¢an offer.

)eTe is tl)e young woman who after receiving Inei)toring, returned tts university after originally dropping out
because of inteiise anxiety, and the young man who was at-iisk of becoming involved in gang activit}., accepted
iiito a basketball academy alter engaging in oui sport sessions... and so ihaiiy others who have tutned adversity
it)to advantage.
We are more cominitted than ever to addressing these issues head-on, and helping our young people advance in
life, and strengthening our coinmut]ities. Our focus in the coming year will be on expanding our seTrices for
those affeLt¢d by the ctiininal justice systein and dei'elopin¥F uur gir15 work.
As wc comc to th¢ cnd of our currcnt thrcc-ycar stratcgic plan in March 2025, wc arc rcflccting on our journcy
and the progress we've made. Thi5 period has been transformative, allowing us to strengthen ollr foundation and
expand our reach. We have built stronger partnerships, developed innovative programs, and seen fjrst-liand the
positive impact of our efforts.
Looking ahead, we are beginning io think about our needs and priorities for the future. The challenges young
people fa¢e are evolving, and we must adapt to meet them head-on. Our next strategic plan will focus on
deepening our impact with pulnerable groups, such as care experienced young people, leveraging technology,
