Objectives

The CIO seeks to expand access to combat sports amongst under privileged communities in Bury and nearby areas. We use Sport as a means to deter criminality / youth violence, improve health and well being and enhance community cohesion. We seek to develop local young people through both sport, education and mentoring.

Activities and Achievements

We are delighted to present our Annual Report for the year 1/8/24 – 31/7/25, which is our 4th year as a registered charity. The organisation continues to go from strength to strength and we have had a busy year in terms of of our activities. We are now delivering the following combat sports classes on a weekly basis to approximately 400 weekly service users:

Funding

Our income is made up various sources including:

The majority of the organisation’s income is from grant funding (55%) however this is a reduction on the proportion of grant income from previous years. Steps have been taken to build multiple streams of income.

Grant Income

We have received grant funding over the financial year from various organisations including:

Structure / Management

We have 6 trustees, 6 part time staff (including 1 Charity Manager and 5 Gym Assistants). We also have 10 casual sports instructors, 2 casual Youth Mentors and another 8 volunteers.

Most of the day-to-day responsibilities have been delegated by Trustees to the Charity Manager, who manages the other Gym Staff. The Sports instructors are casual workers who attend to deliver various combat sports classes here every week and the Youth Mentors are casual staff who take on referrals from the Charity Manager for young people who require mentoring and additional support.

Future Plans

We will continue to expand our secondary and tertiary tier intervention work to prevent youth violence, criminality and disrupt gang activity in the local area. We will also soon be delivering the Duke of Edinburgh Award; this will enable us to broaden the horizon for young people and create more opportunities for them to acquire qualifications here.

Our educational activities are currently constrained by a lack of space with 2 small classrooms. We would like to expand our Holiday Club, Arabic School and be able to offer more supplementary education activities and this will be made possible through capital expenditure in the years ahead.
