Mission, Vision & Objectives

The Hebe Foundation is a Christian Youth organisation that works with all young people aged 13-20 years old to help them discover & use their talents. We provide Young People with a safe environment in which to expand their minds, learn new skills and discover their talents in fun creative ways.

We focus on building young people’s key life skills, employability skills and ethical values through quality projects London wide, in response to the genuine needs of the young people and their communities. Our projects are positive, productive and serve to show young people in a favourable light.

We share a burning passion to see young people grow in every area, and for us to be able to provide them with the environment and tools for that growth. We create innovative, inspiring, educational and engaging projects for all young people. We believe that no matter a young person’s personal circumstances, ethnicity, ability or economic placement, they all deserve an equal chance to discover and use their talents with the support of those equipped to do so.

We work every day towards:

Foreword from the Chair

Foreword by the Chair of the Board of Trustees for The Hebe Foundation

Welcome to our annual report for the financial year, 2023. As Chair of the Board of Trustees for The Hebe Foundation I am delighted to be reviewing yet another year of operations and project delivery for our charity and its beneficiaries.

The Hebe Foundation CIO, (registered charity number 1197091, formerly RCN 1139610) is a charitable, not-for-profit organisation working for the benefit of young people and their communities. We exist to provide facilities for educational, recreational, and leisure-time activities with the object of improving their conditions, character and life prospects.

The financial year 2023, saw Hebe continuing to face the uphill funding challenges of the previous 12 months. In the first half of the year Hebe leadership responded through several cost saving measures to the paucity of sufficient grant funding income, caused by the difficult UK economic conditions. Regrettably, Hebe reduced the size of its back-office team and said goodbye to much loved team members.

The demand for our services however, increased as anticipated as more beneficiaries sought out our highly effectual youth projects. The number of affected vulnerable young people reporting mental health issues (e.g. depression, anxiety and stress) remains high with more parents also seeking help and advice on supporting their young people.

Despite the strategic measures, we preserved our delivery team of youth workers, volunteers and project managers to successfully deliver high quality youth projects into the community. As a result, 88% of our income in 2023 was spent directly on charitable activities for young people. We remain a very small team with a deep sense of purpose and healthy ambitions for sustainable growth to serve the increasing needs of our communities. We know that we cannot do this alone. Even with the 28% increase in the level of donations evidenced during 2023, we still rely very much on the support from sponsors, grant makers, funding bodies, friends of Hebe and our fabulous staff and volunteers. This is how we ensure that our projects remain meaningful and impactful.

The opportunity for readers of this report remains the same as stated last year. That by investing in the future of a young person you also invest in the future of the communities that we serve. I hope that inspires you as much as it inspires all those in the Hebe family.

Foreword from the CEO

Amie Buhari -Founder/CEO

It’s fair to say 2023 was the worst year for Hebe with redundancies and severe financial difficulties. However, we are so thankful for another year of growth for our young people and us as an organisation. 2023 hasn’t gone without its hardships, challenges and changes. In this ever-changing unstable climate, we have learnt to pivot in order to continue to give opportunities and support to the many young people we serve. Despite these setbacks however, we have come through wiser, stronger, and better.

This year was a continued confirmation that young people are in need of a safe space to grow and explore who they are in the world. Through our projects we aim to provide this. In 2023 we were able to introduce 4 new projects -Youth Powerhouse, NHS Research, ABC Apprenticeships and our residential -Crescere. With good success we are opening up new opportunities for our young people through innovative and relevant programmes. You’ll read more about these later.

We strengthened our existing partner relationships and created a few more. We were asked to speak across platforms on youth matters, and provide training.

Our young people continue to amaze us with their wonderful minds and talents. Even though the issues they are dealing with are heavy and weighing many of them down; we are able to see and tease out the nuggets of brilliance in them. Mental health, crime, uncertainty of the future, image, and money are a few of the topics young people are grappling with on a daily basis. We’ve cried many tears with them this year, and although sometimes it seems hope is not there, it is! It’s in the smiles, and in the passionate anger, it’s in the questions and debates, and in the “I don’t know”. It’s in the exam results and the apprenticeships. It’s in the mistakes and regrets, in the tiktok dances and the kicking off. It’s there, and we will relentlessly continue to draw hope out of our young people. Amen.

Supportive Connections

The Hebe Foundation (THF) Supportive Connections project focused on young people aged 13 – 25, adults, parents and carers, and local faith communities on Clapham Baptist Church and New Park Road Baptist Church. The core elements involved a targeted approach to engage the specific groups. We aimed for our Supportive Connections project to engage 320 participants over the 13-week period in the Clapham Town Centre area.

The same project format was applied to the North Lambeth Town Centre area where THF worked in collaboration and partnership with local service providers.

The video is a compilation of views from individuals and stakeholders in the community - including the police. A range of topics were covered: police and community relations, housing, community safety, and community action. Overall, there were insightful indicators relating to how Supportive Connections can be developed in local neighbourhoods.

Parents/Carers Workshops

The Parent workshops were designed to give space to parents and carers to candidly discuss and explore justice, youth violence and safety on Lambeth streets. We looked at the current landscape through the lenses of safety, justice and violence. Participants voiced their often-desperate concerns to the safety of their young people. Approximately 40% of those in attendance had young people who already had encounters with street violence or the police.

Junior Apprentice

Launched in 2008, Junior Apprentice is the flagship programme of the Hebe Foundation, a London-based Christian youth organisation. Over a two-and-a-halfweek summer period young people take on a series of Apprentice-style challenges, working in teams and competing for the ultimate accolade of being named Junior Apprentice of the Year. Through business involvement and community projects they get a taste of the business environment, future career possibilities and the power of social action. This extract from the Junior Apprentice theory of change sets out the thinking behind the programme.

The theme for Junior Apprentice 2023 was ‘Business of Change’ The programme began with a training day for young people on 27th July, when business partners helped deliver workshops on marketing, presentation skills, finance and business planning, and culminated in a Grand Finale on 11th and 12th August.

Challenges set for teams over the course of the programme included:

For the Grand Finale each site was required to present and introduce a 4-minute video or play showcasing a cause that young people stood for as a site and highlighting changes needed to improve the situation. The possibility of gaining points through sale of raffle tickets and/or losing points through poor timekeeping added an extra element of jeopardy.

London’s Next Top Role Model

Young people take part in a series of interactive workshops which challenge perceptions and assumptions about the people, values, and behaviours which influence them. This project enables young people to think critically about the attitudes and actions they can adopt to become a role model in their family, within their schools, and in their local communities.

The aim is to help young people explore the concepts of Role Models, Identity & Culture, Image, and Self Awareness. The young people will seek and develop what they think are characteristics of a role model and the qualities they need to succeed and give back to their community and beyond. All this is explored through the lens of photography, modelling, and design.

Explore identity, culture and the qualities of being a role model; all through the lens of photography and design. Culminating in an exhibition of the young people’s work.

NHS – CRN – Discovering Research in Public Health

This new project is a result of a partnership between the Hebe Foundation and the CRN and during 2023 we have implemented 2 activities together:

The Kings College Hospital Research Café on 30/05/23 was highly successful. 20 young attendees gained valuable insights from diverse professionals, including doctors discussing research's impact on their work, research nurses, and analysts. The event fostered significant engagement between young participants and researchers, inspiring career exploration in research among the youth and informing researchers about young people's perspectives on research.

On the 24[th] of August the NIHR Clinical Research Network South London & The Hebe Foundation organized a discovery research session at Kings College Hospital for young participants. The event offered a rich array of information and experiences, including hands-on activities such as learning to take blood pressure and

DocuSign Envelope ID: 888CDF64-58E5-4063-B68E-112D9E0FB88A

exploring research methodologies. Participants gained insights into midwifery and research opportunities and received a detailed tour of the hospital's research department.

Crescere

The aim of our residential “Crescere” lies in the definition of the word, meaning “growth” in latin. In this residential we aim to take away young people from the many voices and busyness of London and provide them with the safe space to reflect about questions like “who am I?”, “what am I here for?” and “what am I good at?”.

In this residential we supported young people growing in purpose by raising their awareness of the talents that they have that may be hidden, repressed or repurposed.

Moreh Mentoring

We maintained a small number of mentoring relationships this year. We are currently experiencing a shortage of mentors, so the focus for next year is to recruit again hoping people are more willing to commit.

Transition

The project Transition implemented by The Hebe Foundation in partnership with Clarion Futures focus on supporting year 6 students at primary school, who will be transitioning into year 7 students at secondary school. The project focuses on supporting young people as they make the transition from child to teenager; learning about changes in relation to their learning environment, relationships, societal issues and daily routines, etc.

In the project we also targeted parents/carers, so they build their confident and competencies to support their children to thrive in this transition and enhance their relationship and trust with their children and school.

Church work

This year we trained and consulted churches on youth work development. Supported churches in face to face youth provision. We represented the Baptist Union on various CYF (children, youth & families) roundtables, and delivered workshops.

Finance

As mentioned, financially this has been our toughest year to date. Lack of core funding meant we had to make drastic financial cuts to stay afloat. This involved making redundancies and postponing projects. Despite this we managed to deliver to the same high quality we have, and by the end of the year put ourselves in a decent starting position for 2024.

Our individual doners list grew a little, as did our corporate funding. Funding from trusts and funds kept us afloat.

You’ll find our independently examined accounts for 2023 at the end of this report.

Thank you to our funders and donors

Hebe works in collaboration with other organisations/companies. We know that working in this way is crucial to delivering the best service for our young people. It is our aim to continue to strengthen and develop our collaborations.

Our partners include churches, youth clubs, schools, charities, Universities, local councils and corporates. All our projects have partners working with us to deliver our work.

This year we managed to sustain our partnerships and count on them in one of the most difficult years of our life as a charity.

We would like to acknowledge the valuable partners we worked with in 2023, all of which are Hebe Champions. They take time and resources to help our young people and without them we would not be able to do what we do.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 888CDF64-58E5-4063-B68E-112D9E0FB88A

The Hebe Foundation Staff & Trustees

This year we had to reduce our team to meet our financial challenges. Our core team reduced from 7 to 3 people. As mentioned, this was a very sad time for us all at Hebe. It also meant that the remaining team had a heavier workload. We utilised our 15+ sessional youth worker pool throughout the year, and as always invested in training up previous participants as mentee youth workers.

As with previous years, volunteering has dropped within the charity sector. Post pandemic: many people are assessing life and dealing with the cost-of-living crisis, to the extent that they are not finding time to volunteer. Most of our volunteers now come from the corporate sector as part of their CSR.

The trustees focus this year was to deal with the financial crisis. They worked tirelessly to ensure Hebe didn’t close and stay solvent.

Looking forward

The Hebe Foundation has been working in an environment that is difficult to navigate. Working with young people and their families has shown to be tough, requiring investment and integrated work from charities, corporates and local authorities. Young people are full of potential, but similarly they are exposed to so many risks, changes related to their bodies, minds and the social, economic and political context around themselves. Young people deserve all our eyes on them, as they navigate this current climate. We are continuously in a place of learning from their resilience, wisdom, and courage.

We remain committed to reinforcing local solutions to ending street crime, bullying, racism and building a peaceful, thriving future for generations to come. In the coming year, The Hebe Foundation will launch new initiatives to support youth-led initiatives.

We have accomplished so much together over the past year. With your continued support and with the wisdom and dedication of our staff and local partners; we know that having young people at the centre of our work and hearts, will continue to make a change in their lives and beyond.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Hebe Foundation

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Hebe Foundation (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Redfin Management provides book-keeping services to The Hebe Foundation, but is not involved in any other operational activity of the charity. The FRC's Revised Ethical Standard has been applied.
