Objects and Activities
Summary of the objects of the charity:
The advancement of the protection of the public, in particular but not exclusively children and young people, by the provision of talks, workshops, training and by such other means as the trustees shall think fit on the positive and safe use of social media designed to protect them from harm arising from its incorrect or unsafe use, and from contact with unsuitable material on the Internet or similar media.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects:
The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. This is delivered through the charity working with schools and other groups to deliver sessions to young people, teachers, leaders, parents and carers.
Young people are taught to use social media positively, constructively, and safely, and to avoid the negatives such as, such as bullying, addiction, self-worth issues and hindering, future career prospects. The also learn how to keep themselves safe on social media and they gain an understanding of how social media can provide opportunities for the future and promote community cohesion.
The charity’s sessions with adults equip them with the knowledge they need to support young people in their social media use, and to help young people through any issues that may arise on social media. Achievements and Performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year :
Positive Social registered as a charity in June 2020.
Activities for June 2020 to March 2021 were very much limited by COVID19 but we were very pleased to visit Derby High School in December 2020 to deliver our first session since becoming a registered charity.
We were invited in as one of the year groups was struggling with some issues relating to their social media use. The session was very successful with students gaining an understanding of the impact of their actions on social media and committing to make changes to how they used it. The group wrote 67 pledges of actions they would take as a result of the session.
We were unable to make any progress with introducing the new charity to other schools to due to COVID-19. Most schools were not inviting in external speakers during this period and, at the beginning of 2021, schools were closed to students for the second time.
Financial Review
A financial review was not undertaken as there was no income or expenditure during the 2020-2021 year. The charity’s application for a bank account was not approved until May 2021 due to delays caused by COVID-19.

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
