## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From** 1 May 2021 **Period start date To** 30 April 2022 **Period end date** **Charity name:** Springboard Youth Academy CIO **Charity registration number:** 1191062 ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The objects of the organisation are to act as
a resource for young people who are
migrants, refugees or asylum seekers up to
the age of 21 living in London and the
surrounding areas by providing advice and
assistance and organising programmes of
physical, educational and other activities as
a means of:
(a) advancing in life and helping
young people by developing their
skills, capacities and capabilities to
enable them to participate in society
as independent, mature and
responsible individuals;
(b) advancing education;
(c) providing recreational and leisure
time activities in the interest of social
welfare, designed to improve their
conditions of life.
Nothing in this constitution shall authorise an
application of the property of the CIO for the
purposes which are not charitable in
accordance with [section 7 of the Charities
and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005]
and [section 2 of the Charities Act (Northern
Ireland) 2008]| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Our Saturday, half-term, and summer
supplementary programmes offer an
innovative space for newly arrived
teenagers, where they can make friends and
settle into British life. Young people learn life
skills that set them up for independent living,
practice English through a bespoke creative
and participatory ESOL programme, and
also have academic, wellbeing and 1:1
support worked into their timetable.| |||**Saturday programme**
Springboard’s Saturday supplementary
programme is grounded in participatory
English learning, exploring culture, science
and the world around us through creative
workshops, fitness and trips.This programme
has a strong focus on English reading and
writing, with a bespoke curriculum that the
group moves through in four-week arcs.
Young people receive a tailored workbook
that covers each theme which they work
through with the group and can take home
with them at the end of the programme.This
programme is an opportunity to build on the
great times we have on our holiday
programmes, with the added benefit of being
able to offer longer-term support to the
young people we work with.
**Half-term programmes**
Our half-term programme series takes place
every half-term and focuses on life skills and
creative expression through interactive
skill-building sessions encouraging oral
English skills and speaking practice.Each
half term is dedicated to a different skills
theme: in October we explore independent
living skills (eg. healthy eating, sexual health
literacy, self-advocacy); in February we focus
on strategies for language learning and
education pathways; and in May we explore
our values and personal resilience.
**Summer programme**
Our signature summer programme includes
four action-packed weeks of creative
activities, sports and trips.This programme
has an ESOL foundation with a focus on
speaking, reading and performance skills,
explored through a different creative theme
each week, i.e. poetry, crafts and visual art,
theatre, etc.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

Our on-site Volunteers assist Facilitators by
supporting young throughout our
programmes, enthusiastically getting
involved in activities and providing general
encouragement and language support in
smaller groups. Some also assist with
collecting data from young people and the
team to help us measure our impact. We
also have a volunteer Advisory Board that
helps steer the strategy of the charity and
supports the development of the charity’s
infrastructure (e.g. maintaining our website,
improving HR and other systems, etc.).
**Peer Leaders**
Peer Leaders are Springboard Graduates
and other young adults with forced migration
backgrounds who train with us in youth work
and facilitation, curriculum design and
research and evaluation skills, all while
supporting the young people on our
programmes. When they finish training, they
formally join the organisation as trustees or
paid staff.| |Other||N/A| ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main

the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|During our second financial year as a CIO,
we delivered our programmes during
term-time Saturdays, half-terms and
summer. During this period, we supported
154 newly arrived young people through
their first days of being in the UK, to enrolling
in college and building their lives
independently. We saw young people on our
programmes improve their oral and written
English skills, build confidence, expand their
social networks and acquire new life skills.
Referees commented on significant
improvements in English, confidence and
wellbeing. Our team also provided basic
casework and signposting for young people
where needed.| ||**Additional information (optional)**|**Additional information (optional)**||| |---|---|---|---|---| ||You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:|||| ||||Just before the end of last FY, our team|| ||||came together at an away day to determine|| ||Achievements against|Para 1.41|our three-year vision, which included|| ||objectives set||developing a peer leadership programme,|| ||||securing core funding to increase financial|| ||||sustainability, increasing the number of staff|| ||||and trustees with lived experience of forced|| ||||migration to 50%, expanding our presence|| ||||by opening another hub, producing our own|| ||||sellable education resource and sharing best|| ||||practice with other organisations.

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|Throughout the financial period, we ran
projects efficiently within the budget. The
charity has also accumulated more general
unrestricted reserves than prior periods,
allowing for greater flexibility. As a result of
having positive reserves, the Trustees are of
the view that the financial position of the
charity is satisfactory and therefore on its
way to becoming sustainably funded in the
longer term.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|We aim to always maintain reserves for three
months’ winding down costs. Our current
reserves come from our annual holiday
fundraisers and other one-off donations from
supporters. They are used to cover core
costs that aren’t covered by project funding.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|Unrestricted reserves: £9,065

to trusts and foundations has been high this
year, but the lack of corporate or private
donors makes the charity vulnerable should
that win rate go down.
Springboard is also heavily reliant on its
founder director, who puts in more hours
than there is funding for and is the lead for
all fundraising, strategy and operations.| Funding needs to be secured to make this a viable director role. N/A Other ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
