Some team members have been with us for
25 years, walking alongside children and

years.
This steady long- term dedication has
developed the solid base of trust that has

MARKS STORY
When we met Mark* he was at risk of school exclusion. He was also vulnerable to child
criminal exploitation. Sometimes the challenges that our children face are unimaginable.
but consistency and love make a difference every time.
The team supported Mark through regular home visits. Kidz Klub sessions, I:1 mentorino,
taking him away on camp and working through a programme with him during school
time. Together with his parents. other local agencies and school. we came alongside
Mark to support him to reach his full potential.
A real turning point came during one of his1:1 sessions with his Kidz Klub leader. This
little boy had a breakthrough when he realised that his name means 'leader'. As the
weeks went by, he started to be a leader-he was appointed as'anti-bullyino
ambassador, and then even as a play leader at school. An incredible turnaround from our
startinq point with him of being close to exclusion and at risk of child criminal
exploitation.
Over the following months. he changed the way he carried himself and began to talk
about how he could make a difference in the world- and expressed his dream to become
a young leader lyr 7 and beyond) at Kidz Klub when he leaves primary school.

A UNIQUE MODEL
LOCALLY EMBEDDED
We are a locally led Charity and lived experience is a
core aspect of'our way.. A large number of our team -
from Trustees and Charity Leaders to Volunteers come
from the communities we serve. We seek to do and to
view things f rom within our communities. recognising
that lasting. meaningful change is powerful when it is
shaped and led by those who live it every day-the
children and community members. This year. as we
marked our 25th anniversary. we have taken time to
reflect on the journey we have travelled and the values
that continue to guide our work.
Over the past quarter-century, we have seen that sustainable progress is not achieved throuoh
external solutions alone, but through investing in people, relationships, and fostering local leadership-
especially among children and youno people. Just as importantly. we listen and ref lect. Lived
experiences continually shape and strengthen our work.
This commitment is reflected in our team today. We are proud that 79 of our team members live In
the communities we serve. Their lived experience. insiqht. and deep connections allow us to respond
with authenticity and understanding. They are not just deliverinq our work-they are shaping it,
challenging it, and continually improving it.
As we celebrate this milestone year, we reaffirm our belief that our role is to continue to work deeply
within communities, to be on the ground, out and about, to be present on the streets alongside the
children and families where they are at. Looking ahead. we remain committed to strengthening this
approach. supporting individuals to grow as leaders. amplifying local voices. and continuing to build
transformation f rom within.

One of the most encouraging signs of this lonq-term approach is seeing the cycle come full

childhood, stoppinq to share their stories and, in many cases. askinq if their own children ¢an

The power of trusted relationships when working alongside families. By building consistent,
relational connections over time, we are able to support positive engagement even in
situations, where trust has previously broken down. These relationships not only help achieve
better outcomes for families but also contribute to the restoration of trust and improved
relationships between families, the police, and the wider community.

THE CONFIDENCE TO ACCESS SUPPORT.
We supported one family through regular home visits, getting to know Mum and the children
as they accessed KK activities. Over time we became aware that domestic abuse was a
historic issue. As part of our Family Support Work we were able to invite Mum to
psychotherapy art therapy group which ran for 7 weeks. By taking Mum to this very safe and
accessible group, she felt confident for the first time to speak about the impact of her past on
her mental health. Due to the success of this. we have now seen her bravely take steps to
access counselling from her GP. She is advocating for her kids needs at school and often has
a list of positives to share with us when we go or updates about pro(Jress that she's proud to
share with us. Often our role is coming alongside and cheerleadin(J Mum's who feel so
isolated and stuck. Often giving them that extra bit of confidence really helps them to access

CHRISTMAS AND EASTER CELEBRATIONS
The lead-up to Christmas was. as ever. a particularly special time at Kidz Klub. filled with joy.
extraordinary generosity acr055 the city and beyond. and meaninqful connection across our
communities. Throughout the season. our Klubs helped children explore the true meaning of
Christmas. focusing each week on a different character from the nativity story. As part of this. each
child created their own wooden nativity set to take home a lastino reminder of both the story and
their involvement.
At the same time, our partners, staff and volunteers worked tirelessly to brino practical support and
festivejoy to families. This year. we collected and delivered over 200 hampers, more than 800
toys, and Christmas trees to families across our communities. with donations continuing right up
to the f inal days. These acts of oenerosity. made possible through the support of churches.
individuals. the generosity of businesses. and groups including Leeds Beckett University. had a
profound impact. Time and agair). we heard children ask in disbelief."Is that really all for me?" and
it was a privilege to be able to say yes.
Moments of connection extended beyond families as well. At one Hub Klub. children shared a
nativity performance with residents of a local care home. For one resident, who had recently
experienced loss and ill health. the visit brought renewed joy and comfort an example of how these
interactions created mutual blessing across generations. Over December we were able to organise
theatre trips, seasonal events and nativity performances in partnership with local churches.
Across the Easter period. the collective effort continued and enabled us to distribute 900 Easter
eqqs, alongside a wide ranoe of experiences designed to create lasting memories. These included
woodland adventures. Easter egg hunts. community celebrations and services with partner
churches that brought people together.

9 WEEKLY SESSIONS
FOR 150+ CHILDREN
Hubs are our community-based Kidz Klub groups,
rooted in the heart of the neighbourhoods we serve.
This year. we have run nine aqe-specific Hub sessions
across the south of the city. reaching up to180
children each week. Every session creates a space
where children can belong. have f un. explore faith,
and grow in confidence.
A special part of each Hub has been the"World
Changers Tea Party," where children have been
encouraged to share their ideas. passions. and hopes
for their communities and beyond.
These conversations are not just talk-this year the
team have actively empowered children to see
themselves as communlty ¢hanqers.
Throuqh our -Actlvates.- children take this further
by planning and delivering their own social action
and mission projects each half term. These have
included initiatives such as a Valentine's bakery,
where children baked biscuits, wrote messages of
kindness, and shared them as acts of generosity, and
community outreach in Holbeck, where children
created cards with messages of encouragement and
hope, then delivered them door-to-door with the
team.
We have continued to respond to the growino number
of children with additional needs who attend our
Hubs, ensuring that each child is known, valued, and
supported.
One child. who had only been attending school for
an hour a day, was able to attend Kldz Klub when
no other out-of-scht￿I provision could meet their
needs. Through consistent care and l..1 support
often from one ol our Younq Leaders- this child
has experienced belonging and encouragement
and continues to be a very special part of the Hub
Klub.

Recoqnisinq the challenges many families face, we have

We have also prioritised providing rich. memorable
experiences. This year. we took two coach loads of
children to a forest settinq for a quided, immersive
"Emmaus Road- experience that we created. Through
creative storytelling. hands-on attivities such as'forest
bathing" while reflecting on creation, and interactive
journey points. the Easter story was brought to life in a

played a vital role in broadenino horizons,
strengthening relationships. and supporting
children's wellbeing.
Yorkshire Dales - July
Our first summer camp was at Marrick
Priory. Outdoor Education and Residential
Centre. in the Yorkshire Dales.
The children had such a fun time, enjoying a
range of activities including climbing. low
ropes and tunnels, canoeing. archery.
abseiling. leap of faith. home cooked meals.
as well as a trip to get an ice cream. Around
the campfire. children shared things they
were proud seeing each other achieve.
It was great to hear them encouraging each
other. ' You were really brave, you did the
challenqe even thouqh you had never
abseiledbefore.. The children shared how
they had enjoyed making new friends and
trying new things.
Throughout the year, we saw clearly just how
important these opportunities were-not only
in bringing joy. but in helping children feel
valued. inspired. and connected. None of this
would have been possible without the
continued support of our wider community,
and we remained deeply grateful to everyone
who helped make these moments happen.

Our second summer camp was at Wyedale

had only been coming to Kidz Klub for a year.
so it was a fantastic opportunity to build
relationship with them and their families so
that they make the transition to the Beeston
Space Youth Group as they go into year 7.
Our time was spent at the beach. in and out
of the sea. playing football and volleyball. In
the evening. toasting marshmallows and
listening to stories round campf ire. having
fun at a waterpark where the children were
challenged to an escape room. then built
rafts and embarked on an inflatable assault
course.
The team and children were blown away by
the grounds - Wyedale Hall is an amazing
place. with plenty of space for outdoor fun
and includes a basketball court. large.
qrassed area with football goals. an area with
swings. climbing frames & other obstacles to
challenge and a big secret. walled garden.
For some children. it was their f irst time
swimming. One boy learnt to swim. another
child overcame their fear of swimming .
One boy said 'Andy I'm not afrald anymore,. .1

JOY OUT ON THE STEETS

PLAY STREETS
As with last year, often these have been poiqnant as we supported families to run Play Streets in areas
which had unfortunately been affected by druq and knife related incidents. It has been very special to
see the children playinq and families talking to each other safely out on the very same streets. So often
our work is about creating joy, colour and happiness alongside families in streets where there can be so
many challenoes.

We have experienced a number of challenges with heightened levels of criminal activity and gang
related incidents happening in and around our activities. Sadly for some children this is the reality of life
in their streets. We are looking at our support pathway for children and also talking closely with the
police and council about street level activity and risk assessments. We are determined to continue our
street level approach.
Highlighting play nationally
Catherine. was invited to be a witness as part of the government'ralslng the natlon. commission on
play beinq conducted by Paul Lindley (Ella's Kitchen Founderl and Baroness Anne Lonof ield. Catherine
was able to represent the children's voice about the theme of children's outdoor play and before the
event asked a number of Kidz Klub parents about the barriers to outdoor play in our communities and
how this could be made easier. It was good to share with them the particular challenges and very real
dangers that the children face playing out in our communities. Catherine and Laura Hodgkinson
(Charity Co Leaderl also travelled to take part in a discussion at the House of Lords as part of the
commission and Catherine appeared on Radio 4 highlighting the joy that children experience playing

LEARNING AND CHALLENGES AS
AN ORGANISATION
CHALLENGES
We are committed. as a charity. to ensuring our staff are paid fairly and sustainably, alionino as a
minimum with the National Living Wage and. where possible. the Real Living Waqe for our lowest paid
team members. Each April. we implement a cost-of-living salary increase in line with these benchmarks.
applyino the same percentage uplift across all staff to maintain fairness and equity within the team.
However. these increases alongside recent changes to employer National Insurance contributions
represent a siqnificant and currently unfunded rise in our annual operatino costs. We recognise the
importance of meeting these commitments to our staff. and we are actively working to address this
financial pressure through the strengthening and diversification of our fundraising efforts.
We have faced some siqnificant staff ino qaps this year, both in frontline delivery and within our
fundraising team. These challenges have come at a time when we are seeking to respond to rising need
while also ensuring we are able to offer fair and competitive salaries in line with increasing cost of living
pressures.
Balancing these priorities has made recruitment more complex. particularly in attracting and retaining
the skilled staff needed to sustain and grow our work. Despite this, we have worked hard to maintain
delivery and continue supporting our communities. while actively strengtheninq our approach to
recruitment and fundraising to address these gaps and build a more resilient team for the future.

strengths alongside addressing challenges. and by listening and coming alongside parents. we build
trust and reduce isolation. This is often what enables deeper support and referrals
