## **Achievements and performance 2022-23**
## **Mental Fitness and nutritional programme for Youths**
London Jaguars marked the year with a new funding from National Lottery to facilitate Mental fitness and nutritional programme for youths aged 11-16 years old. The Mental Fitness Program for the youths has achieved commendable success across various dimensions. Participant surveys and assessments conducted before and after the program consistently indicate substantial improvements in mental well-being. Key achievements include a notable reduction in reported stress levels, a heightened ability to regulate emotions, and a significant increase in overall focus and concentration. Participants shared testimonials emphasizing their newfound ability to manage stressors effectively, navigate emotional challenges, and maintain a positive mindset. Continuous evaluation and adaptation based on feedback ensure ongoing enhancement of the program's effectiveness in promoting mental fitness among youths.
London Jaguars has secured funding from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to deliver . Through a combination of tailored exercise routines and nutrition guidance, the program has effectively contributed to improved physical fitness, enhanced strength, and increased overall health for women. Participant feedback underscores increased self-confidence and body positivity, showcasing the program's positive impact on mental well-being. The program's success is evident in measurable outcomes such as weight management, muscle toning, and improved energy levels. The tailored approach, coupled with a supportive community environment, has created a positive and empowering experience for women seeking to prioritize their health and fitness.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
successfully contributed to the overall well-being of participating youths. Achievements include fostering a sense of community and camaraderie, promoting healthy eating habits, and encouraging physical activity during holiday periods. We commenced our holiday camps from 30 children and on our last HAF programme delivered to a significant increase of 100 young people who were able to enjoy various enrichment and recreational activities ranging from daily fitness and sports to trips, excursions and educational workshops. The program's success is evident in the positive feedback from both participants and their families, highlighting increased knowledge about healthy food options and health-conscious holiday experience for youths.
## **Results**
During the year, we received a total of £41,710 of which £5,000 was restricted. Resources expended for the year amounted to £44,804 of which £4,988 related to restricted projects. The total balance of the restricted and unrestricted fund now stands at £6,876.
## **Future plans**
As we move into the next fiscal year, London Jaguars is committed and excited about its upcoming initiatives to further empower and uplift the youth we serve. Our commitment to fostering positive change and providing meaningful opportunities is reflected in the following key areas:
- Expansion of Outreach Programs: London Jaguars aims to broaden its outreach efforts, reaching more young individuals in undeserved communities. Through partnerships with local community centres, schools and youth-focused organisations, we plan to extend our impact and provide valuable resources to a larger demographic.
- Talent development: Investing in our people remains top priority. We plan to implement comprehensive training programs, talent acquisition strategies and leadership development initiatives to ensure our workforce is equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to drive o
As we embark on these initiatives, financial sustainability and transparent reporting remain paramount. London Jaguars is committed to maximizing the positive impact on the lives of young individuals, and we are excited about the transformative journey ahead.
## **Reserves Policy**
The management committee had established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not be between 3 and 6 months of the resources expended. Given our minimum expenditure on overheads, we continue to think that a figure of between £1,000 and £2,000 would be more appropriate given our activities.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
## **Risk Review**
The Trustees have conducted its own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan to allow for the diversification of funding and activities. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.
