NOT GIVE UP HOPE
Figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show that over the last five years the number of offences of violence against the person recorded by South Yorkshire Police has risen sharply by 28.16 per cent, increasing from 44,892 in the year ending June 2019 to 57,534 for the year ending June 2023. The star
Recent figures obtained through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request revealed a concerning surge in knife crime across Sheffield, raising questions about South Yorkshire Police’s ability to effectively track and respond. Official data showed a steady rise in violent crime, yet the lack of comprehensive reporting exposed significant gaps in how the police track and address the issue. Yorkshire post
The figures above illustrate that great work is needed to combat youth violence.
Mums United is determined to continue our efforts to create a safe and inclusive space for young people in our community. We believe that by providing them with the support, guidance, and opportunities they need, we can make a significant impact in tackling youth violence and creating a brighter future for our youth.
One of our key strategies in tackling youth violence is through prevention. Positive protective factors and a sense of belonging can deter young people from engaging in harmful activities. Our community centre and gym have become a platform for us to engage and connect with young people, build positive relationships, and provide them with opportunities for personal growth and development.
Through the community centre and gym, we have reached over 2000 people, including young people. This significant achievement would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our coordinator, Zahira Hussain, and Mikail and Mercy, who have been integral parts of the team. They have played a vital role in creating a safe and welcoming environment at the community centre and gym, making it a place where young people feel comfortable and supported.
Our work does not end here. We are determined to continue expanding our programmes, reaching more young people in our community, and empowering them to make positive life changes.
At Mums United, we firmly believe that our youth are the leaders of tomorrow, and it is our responsibility to provide them with the support and opportunities they need to thrive. We are committed to creating a future where our young people feel safe, valued, and empowered to impact their communities positively.
We want to thank all our supporters and volunteers who have been part of this journey with us. Your contributions, whether big or small, have made a significant difference in the lives of our youth. Together, we can continue positively impacting and creating a safer and brighter future for our youth.

Community Gym Steel Champs Academy
One of the most significant aspects of the opening day was the speeches by the young people themselves. They were given a platform to share their thoughts and experiences and express their gratitude for the gym and the opportunities it would provide for them. It was heartening to see the positive impact the gym had already made on the youth, even before it officially opened.
Open Day
We were delighted to have esteemed guests such as MP Abtisam Mohamed, Cllr Safiya Saeed, Leader of the Council Tom Hunt, and the Lord Mayor join us for this special occasion. Their presence was a testament to the importance of the community gym and its positive impact on the community.
The opening of our community gym in 2024 was a tremendous achievement and a proud moment for our organisation. It was a day filled with positivity, unity, and hope for the future, and we are grateful to everyone who contributed towards making it a success. It culminated a year of hard work and determination to provide a safe and accessible space for our youth to engage in healthy activities and for the wider community to access gym facilities.
The event was also made memorable by the presence of Youth mentor Quinton Milise, a well-known advocate for youth empowerment. The chair and founder spoke about the importance of providing opportunities for young people and how the community gym would help.
One of the highlights of the gym’s opening day was the attendance on the ITV calendar, which helped to bring attention to the event and our cause. We were also honoured to have professional boxers Amer Khan and Lee Connelly, who are respected figures in the community, attend and show their support for the gym.
Our team organised good music throughout the day to ensure the event was lively and enjoyable. This created a fun and energetic atmosphere, which was appreciated by all who attended.

Motivational Speaker – Jah Ilts
Jah Ilts is an influencer and TikToker who recently visited Steel Champs Academy to speak to young people and mothers about his personal journey. His story is one of overcoming immense challenges and working towards a brighter future for himself and those around him.
During his talk, Jah Ilts opened up about his adverse childhood, filled with trauma and struggles. He shared how he faced many hardships, including time spent in prison, which ultimately shaped his perspective on life and the world around him.
One of the key messages Jah Ilts shared with the youth at Steel Champs Academy was about the glorification of violence. Growing up in a challenging environment, he realized the allure of a dangerous and unpredictable lifestyle. However, he also emphasized the harsh realities that come with it, such as getting caught up in the criminal justice system and the constant fear of losing one’s life.
Jah Ilts story is one of tragedy and triumph. Despite his challenges, he is now using his platform as an influencer and TikTok to spread positivity and inspire others to break the cycle of violence. He is a living example that it is possible to turn your life around and create a better future for yourself, no matter where you come from or what you have been through.
Jahs visit to Steel Champs Academy was a powerful reminder that it is never too late to make positive changes in one’s life and to become a role model for others. By sharing his own personal struggles and experiences, Jah Ilts connected with the academy’s youth and mothers and inspired them to make better choices for themselves and their communities.

MUSYC
Meals & More
Through Meals & More, we have been able to participate in a variety of enrichment and sports activities at MUSYC. These opportunities have allowed us to explore different interests and hobbies while providing a safe and supportive environment for us to learn and grow.
In the past year, 1078 meals have been served, and over 100 young people have come to the clubs.
One of the activities we enjoyed through Meals & More was the arts and crafts workshops. These workshops have allowed us to express our creativity and learn new skills, such as painting, drawing, and sculpting. We have also had the chance to design our t-shirts, learning about the process of design and development and creating unique designs on t-shirts that we can proudly wear.
During the summer, we ran MUSYC for 30 days straight.
We went on trips to the local museum, where we learned about history and culture. We also enjoyed walks by the canals, taking in the beauty of our surroundings. We also had the opportunity to make art jars and paint rocks, which allowed us to express ourselves in a fun and creative way.

SFSC
At Mums United, we firmly believe that prevention is the key to addressing youth violence. We understand that violence among young people is often a result of deeper underlying issues, and we are committed to exploring and addressing these issues.
To create a safer society for our youth, we emphasise the parent-child relationship and its impact on young people’s development. This is why we have trained members of our community in SFSC facilitator training and Young Peoples training. These programmes are essential in tackling youth violence as they tackle the root causes, promote healthy relationships, teach conflict resolution skills, and empower young people. By equipping our community with these valuable skills, we can work together to build a safer and more peaceful environment for our young people.
We have successfully trained 12 parents on the parenting programme and 12 parents/young people on the young persons training.
Our goal to bring this training and embed it within our communities has been achieved.
The most significant outcome has been empowering mothers and young people to recognise and address issues related to violence and risky behaviours. By training them to become facilitators, the program has provided a platform for them to raise awareness and lead the conversation on these critical topics within their communities.
Moreover, the programme has also created a sense of ownership among the community members, who have become actively involved in its delivery. This has helped to instil a sense of responsibility and resilience in the communities as they take the lead in addressing the issue of youth violence.

Events
Family & youth fun day at UMIX
Mums United held a stall at Umix Family and Youth Fun Day. The volunteers handed out leaflets and engaged in conversations about the different services that the community centre and gym offer. Many were surprised to learn that the sessions offered were free of charge.
The main focus of the stall was to spread awareness about the benefits of utilising the community centre and gym. The volunteers emphasised the importance of being physically and mentally active and how facilities like the gym could significantly contribute to this. They also highlighted that anyone could join, regardless of their age, background or fitness level.
Furthermore, the volunteers also spoke about the sense of community and support that the community centre and gym aimed to provide. Mums United believes in the power of unity and coming together to support and uplift one another, and this was evident in the conversations held at the stall. Many visitors left the stall feeling inspired and motivated to use the facilities and join the community.
Sharrow Festival
food. Our volunteers enjoyed connecting with community members and spreading positivity and joy.
At the Sharrow Festival, Mums United showcased our commitment to our community and our dedication to raising awareness on important social issues. Holding a stall at the festival not only allowed us to engage with community members but also gave us the platform to spread our message and educate others.
Aside from having a great time, we had essential conversations with festival-goers about knife crime and county lines. We stressed the importance of prevention and discussed the various services and support that we offer at the centre for those affected by these problems.
Our stall was a huge success, and we raised money for the centre through our fun and interactive tombola game. With each participant receiving a small prize, we made the experience enjoyable for everyone while also supporting a worthy cause.

make another point which is that when we recognise and understand how great a problem knife crime and how normalised it has become it is only then that we can tackle the problem-through my experience stronger sentences will not deter the YP, those who are on the periphery of gangs do not care but see prison as a badge of honour -you can agree or disagree but this is what I have seen.
Prevention is key.
Knife crime is a symptom. Behaviour is learnt. Enforce protective factors. Invest in our youth services. Invest in our youth period.

Reports of the Trustees for the year ended 30 November 2024
Mums United is a constituted by a registered Charity No: - 1192570
Objectives
Mums United is a registered charity which started 4 years ago as a community group. I am pleased to say that we have grown from a group of 6 to 80, targeting areas in Sheffield for outreach, engagement and intervention work that are characterised as the most deprived LSOAs (lower-layer super output areas) by the Government in its Index of Multiple Deprivation. These areas are Burngreave, Spital Hill, Heeley, Netheredge, Sharrow, and Wicker.
Achievements and performance
Our Mission Statement is to listen, engage, act, raise awareness and never give up hope for our members. We provide grassroots solutions to the rise in youth violence, in knife and gun crime and child drug exploitation.For thepast threeyears, our dedicated membership ofvolunteers and professionals havebeen campaigning for greater action on rising crime among some young people in some of the most deprived communities in the city of Sheffield. We believe that the solutions to the problems that afflict our communities must come from the communities themselves. Our work has been recognised nationally as we have been recognised as the 1749th “Point of Light” organisation across the UK.
In order to address this we have been creating positive pathways for young people, mothers whose voice is rarely heard and when is heard no one listens. We need to empower or communities, build strength and resiliencefrom within so that we can ensure our children will grow into healthy ambitious adults
In the past financial year we have continued to raise awareness about the impact of youth violence, we have continued to grow as a charity, wehave increased our group membership and have mothers from different cultural diversebackgrounds engaging and participating in our work. It is this diversity that gives us thestrength in changing the narratived for our members.
25
Our impact is illustrated through the projects we have carried out, our process works because we are mothers who have “lived experiences”, our trauma informed approach focus on prevention, we look at the outcomes, which is youth violence but also ensure that the other side of the spectrum is focused on, how young people change their trajectory towards gangs, we ensure protective factors are in place so that the young people know there is a safe place for them to come. Activities delivered include:
•Engaging young people in sport and culture as a means for self-expression to counter the rise in youth violence
•Focusing on the well being, building confidence and resilience of young people
•Creating projects where mothers and young people can engage in safe open dialogue
•Supporting positive change in the wellbeing of young people and adults who are at risk.
•Focusing on the wellbeing of mothers, identifying the trauma and working with mothers to find the power in them to enable change to take place
•The Charitable Bank has brought into focus the poverty that exists and the vulnerabilities of families, how their vulnerabilities are exploited by local gangs. Through the Charitable bank we not only focuses on providing food, we provide clothes and toys to vulnerable families and individuals. It is also a place where young people and mothers can develop their business and administrative skills
