The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025.

Objectives and Activities

Aims and Objectives

Mission Statement

To nurture, through a ‘Rites of Passage’ program, the evolution of our ‘Boys to Men’ through social, emotional, economic, and spiritual guidance, under the wings of ‘Manhood Academy Global’.

Vision Statement

‘Building Responsible Leaders of Tomorrow for the World of Today’

History and Background

M.A.G is a registered charity founded in October 2016 and rebranded in 2018. We are committed to offering participants transformational workshops for young boys aged 8 - 12 years, teenagers 13 – 19 and their parents. M.A.G is 100% focused on helping our boys make the sometimes, challenging transition from ‘Adolescence into Manhood.’ M.A.G is a unique fusion of a ‘rites of passage’ initiation, mentoring and transformational coaching encompassing:

Transformative workshops.

Our Values

  1. Synergy We are outstanding team players, committed to ‘One Vision’ that we are all responsible for. Working in a team is essential, together we are one. The sum of the whole is greater than the parts.

  2. Integrity (responsible for your word and truth) The process of being whole and complete in: principles actions, words, decisions, methods, outcomes and character. We bring the same with us wherever we are, regardless of the circumstance we don’t leave parts of ourselves behind. We don’t have a ‘work us,’ a ‘family us,’ and a ‘social us.’ We honour our word and stand by it every single day.

  3. Transformation Change may not last forever as it keeps evolving or devolving, whereas transformation is a dimensional shift, and once we are transformed there is no question of going back.

  4. Inspiration To move, touch and excite the mind, emotions or spirit to a high level of feeling conveyed through action. Move or stimulate the intellect or emotions to a degree that prompts action, invention and creation. Authored by Davis J Williams on behalf of M.A.G 4

  5. Introspection The act of self-reflecting, by way of looking inward, to identify challenges and create solutions. An examination of one's own thoughts, emotions and feelings by observing one's own inner state is the principle we live by (Anything I see wrong with you, I will go and fix it myself until the world becomes beautiful).

These core values articulate “who we are” as an organisation.

Together, these values underpin MAG's culture. They are our belief system and define our ‘way of being.

Significant Activities

The year ended 30 September 2025 represented a period of continued growth, organisational stability and stronger community impact for Manhood Academy Global. Alongside maintaining consistent frontline delivery, the charity strengthened its internal systems, successfully managed larger restricted grants and expanded its support for boys, young men, parents, carers, schools and local communities.

Weekly Youth Provision

MAG continued to provide consistent weekly programmes for boys and young men through its rites of passage-inspired model.

Regular delivery included:

Programme Delivery

Teen Programme One session every week Pre-Teen Programme One session every week Online Mentoring Weekly mentoring sessions School Delivery Four sessions delivered within schools

Manhood Academy Global Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 30 September 2025

Significant Activities - continued

These programmes provided safe, trusted and structured spaces where young people explored identity, emotional wellbeing, leadership, personal responsibility, peer influence, decision-making and positive masculinity. The consistency of weekly delivery continued to strengthen relationships with young people and demonstrated the charity’s ability to provide reliable, long-term support.

Parent and Carer Support

MAG continued to recognise that lasting change for young people begins by supporting the adults around them.

The charity delivered:

This whole-family approach continued to strengthen relationships between parents, carers and their children whilst creating stronger protective environments around young people.

Expansion into Wandsworth and Richmond

A significant development during the year was MAG’s expansion into Wandsworth and Richmond Local Authority areas. This growth enabled the charity to extend its reach beyond its existing delivery base and support more young people, families and schools. The expansion reflected increasing trust in MAG’s approach and its ability to provide meaningful, culturally aware and relationship-based support.

The work in Wandsworth and Richmond strengthened MAG’s role in youth safety, prevention, mentoring, family engagement and early intervention.

School Partnerships and Embedded Delivery

Throughout the year, MAG became more embedded within schools, strengthening its role as a trusted partner for education settings.

Four school-based programmes were delivered, supporting young people around:

Being more embedded in schools enabled MAG to reach young people earlier, build stronger relationships with school staff and provide support within environments where young people spend much of their time.

This development also helped schools access specialist support around boys’ development, behaviour, emotional wellbeing, exploitation awareness, peer influence and community safety.

Missing Child Conferences and Child Exploitation Awareness

One of the charity’s most significant developments during the year was the introduction of the Missing Child Conference initiative.

The conferences brought together parents, carers, professionals, community members and young people to increase understanding of why children go missing and the risks associated with child criminal exploitation, grooming, county lines, peer influence and emotional vulnerability.

The conferences encouraged earlier intervention, improved partnership working and helped families better recognise warning signs before concerns escalated.

This work has become an important part of MAG’s wider safeguarding, community safety and family engagement strategy.

Robbery Fund Programme

The Robbery Fund represented one of the largest restricted grants managed by the charity during the year. The programme delivered significant youth work across Wandsworth, including mentoring, group work, leadership development, emotional wellbeing, community safety and violence prevention.

MAG successfully delivered all agreed outcomes, completed funder reporting on time and maintained a strong relationship with the funder, who expressed satisfaction with the quality of delivery.

The successful management of this programme demonstrated the charity’s growing capacity to responsibly manage larger restricted grants while maintaining high-quality delivery and accountability.

Residential Retreats

During the year MAG delivered a residential retreat for young boys, providing opportunities for deeper reflection, brotherhood, leadership development and personal growth away from everyday pressures.

MAG also delivered a dedicated parent and carer retreat, creating space for families to reflect, strengthen relationships, develop communication skills and build supportive networks.

Both retreats reinforced the charity’s belief that transformation is strengthened when young people and the adults around them grow together.

Significant Activities - continued

Strengthening the Organisation

Alongside programme delivery, MAG continued investing in its organisational development.

Key developments included:

• Appointment of two temporary Project Managers working one day per week.

• Appointment of a Finance Manager to strengthen financial systems, grant management and organisational accountability.

• Continued development of governance, safeguarding, programme management and financial monitoring systems.

These developments increased the charity’s operational capacity and positioned MAG well for future growth.

Financial Growth and Stability

The charity successfully managed several restricted funding streams throughout the year, including the Robbery Fund, Accelerator Fund, Building Trust Budget, Elevate / Young Brent Foundation, Awards for All and Wandsworth Children’s Services.

All completed funded projects were delivered successfully and funder reporting requirements were met. The successful delivery and management of these programmes demonstrated MAG’s increasing organisational maturity, financial stability and ability to manage larger and more complex grant-funded programmes.

Looking Ahead

The trustees remain confident in the charity’s direction and future growth.

MAG enters the next financial year with stronger systems, experienced staff, trusted community partnerships and an expanding reputation for delivering high-quality, trauma-informed support for boys, young men, parents and families. The charity remains committed to building responsible leaders of tomorrow while continuing to strengthen families and safer communities.

The charity's activities were supported by tenvolunteers who assisted in the delivery of programmes, events and community engagement activities during the year. Their contribution played an important role in helping the charity achieve its objectives.

Public Benefit

Over the past year, M.A.G has continued to deliver significant benefits to young people and their families through a range of educational, developmental, and therapeutic programmes. Our work promotes confidence, resilience, respect, and personal growth among children and teenagers — supporting the wider aim of building stronger families and safer communities.

1. Empowering Young People through Workshops

Weekly workshops, held in partnership with Young Hackney, engaged over 20 teenagers each week. These sessions focused on:

Positive masculinity, respect, and consent

Leadership and character development

Self-love, trauma recovery, and academic excellence

The workshops created a safe space for young people to learn, reflect, and grow into confident, responsible members of their communities.

2. “My Life Matters” Campaign

The My Life Matters – With Power Comes Great Responsibility initiative addressed mental health, youth violence, and personal responsibility. Delivered in partnership with Street Doctors, the programme offered:

Mental health and conflict resolution workshops

First aid and self-defence training

Trauma-informed, interactive group sessions

This campaign helped young people understand their own power while equipping them with the skills and mindset to make positive life choices.

3. Support for Pre-Teens

Saturday morning sessions for 8–12-year-olds provided early intervention and personal development opportunities. Activities included:

Public Benefit - continued

Communication and self-esteem building

Chess and outdoor activities

Reflection and goal-setting exercises

These sessions gave pre-teens consistent guidance during a crucial stage of emotional development.

4. Promoting Community Engagement

M.A.G collaborated with the Black Unity Bike Ride (BUBR), giving young people first-hand experience of positive community action and leadership within the Black community. This initiative encouraged teamwork, cultural pride, and civic responsibility.

5. Therapeutic Counselling Support

Recognising the growing need for emotional support, M.A.G launched a counselling service offering one-to-one therapy with qualified counsellors. This service:

Addressed trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem issues

Provided a safe and confidential environment

Helped young people build coping strategies and emotional resilience

6. Real Stories of Change

Case studies such as that of “Young T” demonstrate the transformative impact of our work. Through consistent support and therapeutic intervention, Young T overcame significant emotional and behavioural challenges, developing better emotional control, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.

7. Learning and Best Practices

M.A.G’s approach emphasised flexibility, consistent communication with parents, and collaboration with partner organisations. These practices improved participation and ensured each programme met the unique needs of its participants.

Overall Impact

Through targeted workshops, mentoring, counselling, and community collaboration, M.A.G has delivered measurable improvements in mental health, emotional regulation, confidence, and social behaviour among young people. Our programmes not only support individuals but contribute to the wider public benefit by fostering safer, healthier, and more cohesive communities.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
