**benefit)**|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.| |---|---| ||The trustees follow the guidance of the Charity Commission to ensure the
activities of Positive Social are for the public benefit.
The charity works with schools and other groups to teach young people
to use social media positively and constructively and to avoid the
negatives, such as bullying, addiction, self-worth issues and hindering,
future career prospects. Young people gain an understanding of how
social media can provide opportunities for the future and promote
community cohesion.
Social media is an inescapable part of young people’s lives and of the
world that surrounds them. When used in the right way, it can have a
positive impact on the young people, if not it can have a very negative
impact and can lead to addiction, relationship issues, self-worth issues
and self-harm.
Positive Social also delivers sessions for teachers, leaders, parents and
carers, equipping them with the knowledge they need to support young
people in their social media use and through any issues that may arise.| ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 2 Section D Achievements and performance Positive Social saw a significant increase in demand for its sessions **Summary of the main** during the year, particularly since the start of the 2023-24 academic year. **achievements of the charity during the year** During the 2023-24 academic year, 131 sessions were delivered to children – 42 in primary schools, 87 in secondary schools, 1 in a special school and 1 in a youth group. One primary school also had parent and teacher sessions, and two online parent sessions took place. All of the young people’s sessions resulted in commitments to change their behaviour on social media, such as checking privacy settings, leaving social networks that didn’t make them feel good when using them or spending less time on phones. The parents’ and teachers’ sessions equipped attendees to support young people and to make decisions around their children’s social media and smartphone use. We began to reach schools outside of the East Midlands, in areas including the West Midlands, London, Kent and Lancashire. This was done by training deliverers in different locations and partnering with other organisations already working in schools. We were also delighted to see an increase in income which significantly increased our capacity to deliver free sessions to children in school years 7 and 8. This income came through corporate sponsorship and fundraising, as well as donations from individuals and companies, payment for sessions in primary schools and two small grants. ## **Section E Financial review** N/A **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any funds materially** N/A **in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; March **2012** **TAR** 3 - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees.** **Kerry Saxby Trustee 25 June 2025** March **2012** **TAR** 4 ||**Positive Social**|**Positive Social**|**Positive Social**|**1189911**|**1189911**|**1189911**|**CC16a**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**For the period**
