## **Review of Charitable activities for the year ended 31 March 2023**
## **Background**
Z's Defence Academy (ZDA) offers a specialist service, using their experience and expertise to help others. We are open minded and willing to try new ways of working to benefit local girls/women who are vulnerable. We have an important impact on attitudes and mental health, as many of our participants have low self-confidence and social anxieties. We have found that a mix of activities is a brilliant way of overcoming these obstacles and boosting self-esteem. They can socialize in a group environment, make friends, meet regularly, and build up reasons and habits to maintain regular activities with each other.
Led by a young woman, supported by other female volunteers who understand cultural and religious sensitivities, is a massive bonus in overcoming the barriers for the younger generation, which still persist in some of our very conservative-minded and cautious communities, with most participants being from ethnic minority background. The aim of this project is to allow the young teens/women to lead the projects they decide to deliver. The need is within the community to teach the relevant skills to engage with employability, learning indoors and outdoors, volunteering, and physical activity.
Girls/women will have an opportunity to mix with different cultures and religions and develop life skills that will support their independence. Many conservative families only allow girls to participate in female-only activities, and our ethos is to respect different beliefs. We are a community-led project and deliver what is needed by the community for the community. This project will engage, empower, educate, and allow an individual to reflect on their experiences. We will challenge them through activity and provide all the tools they need to understand how to manage the different challenges they face. Which ultimately leads to a successful, healthy, positive life.
Through the experiences the girls/women will learn life skills and become work ready. The challenge outdoors will allow them to think, plan and develop a strategy in one team to safely execute the mission. They will learn how to work individually and the importance about teamwork. This mission will give them a skill set to understand how to save lives, leadership, navigation nutrition, clothing, environmental knowledge and hazards which could occur in the outdoor.
Health & wellbeing is a major concern in the community and learning how to lead a positive lifestyle is important for the girls/women. The skills through this session will allow them to lead healthy lifestyles and relationships. We have great mentors who have led many sessions within the community, leaders with a lot of experience and volunteers with different skills sets. Physical activity will engage people who are inactive and support them to participate in a minimum of 60 minutes activity per week, sustained beyond three months, participants will see and feel a difference within themselves which will motivate them to continue. Mental health can be identified In groups such as: those facing social inequality & disadvantage, facing discrimination & social exclusion, going through traumatic experience and differences in physical health. Throughout socialising session, we can identify mental health conditions and make the relevant referral through our social prescribing service. We aim to make sure we provide services which is accessible and inclusive to all.

**Z's Defence Academy Charity Reference Number:1194054**
## **Review of Charitable activities for the year ended 31 March 2023**
We will provide a community infrastructure that is accessible and breaks the barriers to participate. Having little or no access to physical exercise is strongly related to health problems including diabetes and life-limiting long-term illness. We also know that communities in poor areas suffer roughly four times the social and environmental problems of people than other areas in the UK. We aim to target the problem before it occurs which ultimately reduces the pressures on the NHS and supports the NHS.
All our workshops around employment, health & fitness, wellbeing will be delivered face-to-face in a classroom setting. After Covid a lot of women wish to interact face-to-face and participate in social activities. Many are suffering with social isolation, anxiety, depression and want to feel empowered. We aim to use different locations within the community to deliver our workshops as its centralised to the most deprived areas of the borough. This space will allow them to grow into confident, strong and empowered women. This will allow the girls/women to have an insight on what work life is about and how to successfully lead a positive healthy lifestyle. This will provide them the tools to learn life skills and become confident to face the world of challenges. This will be led by female volunteers for the women in the community.
## **Project and Activity Updates**
## **Lancashire BME Network**
We aim to offer a 6 week self-defence course at 4 different locations in Blackburn area. The courses have proven to increase resilience, confidence and independence. Our aim is to empower girls/women to learn self-protection to understand signs and symptoms of an aggressor. This will eliminate being a victim as you have the understanding on what is right and wrong. Our project will make important differences to the lives of girls/women in many ways.
First, the sessions will have clear health benefits in terms of physical fitness, cardio health, slowly building strength, flexibility and stamina along with learning the actual personal skills in self-defence and self-protection.
The main impact of the courses in on physical and mental health. Many of the girls and women we attract have low self-confidence and social anxieties. We have found that selfdefence is a brilliant way of overcoming these obstacles and boosting the participants’ selfesteem. They can socialise in a group environment, make friends, meet regularly and build up those reasons and habits to keep up doing the activities regularly with each other. These are not benefits only for those from deprived and vulnerable circumstances – some of our girls have struggled to overcome various adverse experiences from their childhood (ACEs).

## **Outcome**
The project was very successful and during the delivery we were approached by UCLAN university to conduct research on how these self-defence courses supported vulnerable individuals. Without this pilot we would not have been recognised by the university. Many other organisations such as Humraaz, Taheedul school have wanted us to deliver this project within their centre. The feedback has been great and uplifted our organisation reputation. Women have developed the following skills from these courses:
- Confidence
- Independence
- Courage
- Willing to exercise
- Personal protection
## **Active Lancashire**
We have conducted questionnaires during Covid and the outcomes where women wanted to participate in physical activity and outdoor pursuits. They were afraid to go alone, no one to go with and wasn’t aware where/how to book. We predominantly offered self-defence session only however due to the feedback from the community we have adjusted our services to suit the community needs. We are the only charity in Blackburn who offer’s a variety of different activities for women to participate in. This helps with the women who are culturally inclined and allows us to target those who are from conservative families. We aim to break the cultural stigma and also create more diversity in the outdoors.

Our project will concentrate on promoting and delivering Educational and physical activities for x2 groups of 40 participants each over 12 weeks following a 30-week buddy mentor scheme. We will use these to further develop a women “club” ethos and this will be a useful way to build that regular exercise habit with them. The sessions we aim to deliver are nutrition/diabetes advice, yoga/mindset and gym taster sessions. They will have a chance to socialise through coffee chats and share experiences to improve mental health. The educational session will give them the knowledge to understand about weight, BMI, nutrition, diabetes and ultimately give them the confidence to attend the physical activities to exercise.
People in the community have asked for these services through our questionnaires during the pandemic. We evaluated the findings from in and around Blackburn and have concluded: Women have lost motivation to exercise, lack of routine, obesity, depression, stress and financially strained. The sessions we aim to offer are online and face-to-face to give an opportunity for all women to attend. This is a preventative project which will educate the community to ultimately transform people’s lives and reduce the pressures within the NHS. The physical activity with help with learning about breathing techniques and help with respiratory problems.
## **Participants: 62 Outcome: ongoing**
## **WEA**
Z’s Defence Academy work with disadvantaged / vulnerable people ages 16+, whose living conditions lack nutritional food and wellbeing negatively impacts their chances for employment and prospects. This coupled with the loss and reduction of services locally leaves a large number of women without the necessary support to achieve their aspirations and goals. We have several volunteer caseworkers supporting women with adverse child experiences (ACE’s) which hinder their chances to gain knowledge. Our services are structured to support women overcome challenges/barriers, so they develop positive futures.

We plan to deliver this project to over 150 young females in the local area from the ages of 1018 years old within 1 year. Our aim is to get all different background cultures together and teach the importance of personal safety, education and health/wellbeing. Our previous projects have been popular and we aim to target the most disadvantaged areas who cannot afford to participate in any sporting activities. The demand from young girls in Blackburn areas through our social media channels have been immense. In return they will learn life-long skills, personal protection, personal development, become more confidence, make a positive change and increase participation in sport. The young generation have creative ideas on how to target different communities and collaborate with youth centres. We provide the exclusivity in the area in recruiting young volunteers and training them to become strong leaders and become a role model. The participation is from planning, recruitment, development, evaluation and feedback.

## **YHA Outdoor**
This is a preventative project and gives a solution to the problems and educates the community on how to lead healthy positive lives via outdoor activity. Evidence shows that people have become more vulnerable than ever, and new interventions are desperately needed to prevent long lasting negative health outcomes. Our proposed work can be delivered quickly and effectively. We recognize the challenges people face with hundreds of people facing an uncertain future, disconnected and at-risk with long-standing health issues. This project blends well with other provisions in the areas and fills a gap of educational sessions and activity in the community.
Our project will consist of x4 group walking/hiking days out which will transform their lifestyle. This will give them an opportunity to participate In a females only activity and feel safe. The activities are tailored to the needs of the individual and which include socialising, reducing isolation and developing healthy relationships.
These activities will help our community to connect, improve confidence and enhance wellbeing, and after months of lockdown and missing friends, our community has never needed this more. We understand our community, the individuals in it, the culture of it and the changing needs of the community. Our project is an area-based solution, and our volunteers quickly understand how to improve local conditions and tackle the inequalities that stop people becoming involved.

## **Sport England**
Our community project helps the community to connect through physical activity to improve confidence, fitness, wellbeing and after months of lockdown improving social skills. We understand our community in need of exercise as the areas we are targeting are very deprived and these activities will give them an excuse to return to physical activity. Our charity supports the most vulnerable to transform their lives through positive activities, motivation, and empowering programs. We will distribute information leaflets (translated to multiple languages) through our social media channels, WhatsApp groups, GP practices, community centres and local faith buildings.
We aim to recruit instructors to deliver 4 physical activities per week at 4 different locations utilizing different community centres. Research has shown a 12-week program improves strength, size, endurance, conditioning, and overall health. our aim is to offer 3 x 12-week transformation program throughout the year and attract the most vulnerable. Our aim is to target 10 women per activity which totals 40 in the week and 1440 through the 36-week transformation program. W . Once the 12-week transformation program comes on an end we will sustain this by offering 2 sessions a week by charging a minimal fee and using our volunteers.

The success of this effective organisation depends on the team of individuals who are committed to help people through the provision of support, advice, and practical solutions. These individuals are volunteers and they do not recruit any staff except for freelance instructors to deliver specific projects.

- the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
- trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## **Incoming resources with related expenditure**
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the coming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.
## **Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has been given notification of entitlement is received and the amount receivable can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## **Tax reclaims on donations and gifts**
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are in included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
## **Gift in kind**
Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised.
## **Donated services and facilities**
These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.
## **Volunteer help**
The value of any voluntary help
## **Resources expended**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
