Erol Thompson Chair of Trustees
Foreword from the Chair of Trustees
As the Chair of Trustees, it is my honour to present the Hebe Foundation Annual Report for 2024. This year has been a remarkable journey of stability, restoration and growth for our organisation. Our independently audited accounts, presented at the end of this report show how effectively we have made use of available funding and expanded our reach and impact.
The Hebe Foundation 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 for young people with the object of improving their conditions, character and life prospects.
This financial year marked 17 years of service to our local communities and young beneficiaries. From humble beginnings (The Hebe Foundation- South London, RCN 1139610) has matured into its role as advocate for the dreams and ambitions of young people attending our projects, workshop and mentoring schemes under The Hebe Foundation CIO, RCN 1197091.
In 2024, we engaged 412 young people aged 10-23 years old across 18 diverse programmes and initiatives. Our projects, such as the Hebe Olympics, Digital Disruptors, and Urban Debaters, have provided invaluable opportunities for personal growth, skill development, and community engagement. We also introduced new initiatives like the NHS – CRN, inviting young people to train and participate as collaborators in public health research into Long Covid. Along with our Crescere residential programme, further enriching the lives of our young participants.
Our achievements would not have been possible without the generous support of our donors and partners. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to organisations such as Guys and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust, Aviation Business Continuity, Garfield Weston, London Baptist Association, and Tudor Trust, among many others. Your contributions have been instrumental in enabling us to deliver high-quality programmes and support to our young people.
I would like to express my deepest appreciation to our dedicated staff, volunteers, and youth workers. Your unwavering commitment and passion have been the driving force behind our success. This year, we welcomed new members to our trustee board and leadership teams, bringing fresh energy, invaluable skills and new perspectives to Hebe.
Our volunteers have been exceptional, with more than 36 individuals contributing their time and expertise across various programmes.
As we move forward, we remain committed to supporting young people through innovative and impactful projects. We recognise the challenges they face and are dedicated to providing the tools and safe spaces they need to thrive. Together, with the continued support of our donors, partners, and community, we will continue to make a positive difference in the lives of young people.
Thank you for being a part of the Hebe Foundation's journey. We look forward to another year of growth, collaboration, and success.
Warm regards,
Erol Thompson Chair of Trustees The Hebe Foundation

Amie Buhari CEO
Foreword from the CEO
2024 at The Hebe Foundation was a year of restoration and growth. After our financial setback in 2022/23, we were able to start doing ‘more’ again. We went into more schools this year. We implemented more projects. We dreamed a bit more, and implemented more processes. We did however make the not so popular choice of not running our flagship project -The Junior Apprentice. We did this for 2 reasons: it being our biggest project, it also carries the biggest budget, which we could just not afford to run, and would have left us in a heavy deficit. The other reason was that after running for 16yrs it needed to rest, for the young people to not become complacent and for us to revise it. The hope is that we will have the funds next year to bring it back.
You will read throughout the report, the vast range of projects we deliver here at The Hebe Foundation, and gain a firm understanding of the strong theme underpinning all that we do. Themes of equipping our young people and young people of the next generation with the tools, skills and confidence essential to navigate this ever changing world. Young people at present are living through demanding and challenging times: many outlets and ways of thinking are fighting for their attention, the stability of society is constantly being questioned in their eyes, and mental health challenges without the resources to provide support are on the rise narioanlly. It has always been the ambition of The Hebe Foundation to create safe spaces for our young people to grapple with these and other issues, whilst learning the necessary and vital tools to manage their mental health and wellbeing.
We said goodbye and hello to members of our team this year. This included saying hello to a new Assistant Project Manager, new Sessional Staff, and new Trustees. We are thankful for all the activities, challenges and opportunities of 2024.
Warm regards,
Amie Buhari CEO The Hebe Foundation

What our young people said…….
“Being put in a random group full of people I had never met before pushed me out of my comfort zone as I would have to get to know each one of them and listen to their ideas The short deadline to create an idea with my group pushed me to develop planning and leadership skills to keep everyone calm under pressure and to successfully bring our minds together to make a successful idea.”, Digital Disruptors participant
“Working in a team enabled me to express myself clearly to others and communicate my ideas. Presenting and talking to people to advertise Hebe brought me out of my comfort zone but I realised how my confidence in these areas has grown over the past 3 years taking part in Hebe’s projects”, Hebe Olympics participant
“Sports day and the Dragon's Den task because it was very fun. Engaging in various sports and presenting to another company. I also won standout person and won out of all the groups that presented. This is especially important because I had to present all by myself considering the fact that my team wasn't able to make it on the day.”, Hebe Olympics participant
“Teamwork and flexibility have been improved quite a lot done to the hands-on experience and mentoring provided in the programmes.”, parent from Hebe Olympics participant
“Meeting the other participants of the programme and having the opportunity to form more social links.”, Finishing School participant

Parents/Carers Workshops
A series of supportive and practical workshops designed for parents and carers who want to strengthen their relationships with their children. We've received a growing number of requests from parents struggling to connect with their young people or manage ongoing conflict. In response, we've often been asked to help mediate difficult conversations between families.
These workshops were created to meet that demand—offering a safe, welcoming space where parents and carers can share experiences, gain support, and build practical skills to foster healthier, more positive relationships. The sessions also provide guidance on navigating the challenges of parenting in today’s fast-paced and ever-changing world.

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.

Finishing School
The aim of The Finishing School is to provide young people with the skills and understanding to confidently and comfortably operate effectively in any arena. Whether in educational, employment, or social settings, we want to see our young people getting the best out of every situation.
The Finishing School gives young people the opportunity to experience and learn new skills, paired with common sense and wisdom to know where and when to apply this knowledge to maximise both their own and others’ potential.
In 2024, we delivered two editions of the programme: one community-based version during the summer holidays in August, and another delivered within a school setting. Both groups successfully completed the programme and were awarded an AQA certification in recognition of their learning and achievements.

NHS – CRN – Discovering Research in Public Health
The Covid19 Made Long project invites young people with lived experience of Long Covid or long-term health impacts from Covid19 to become peer collaborators, playing a role in youth-led research. In this paid opportunity, collaborators receive full training and support to develop their skills in communication, research, and workshop facilitation. They work closely with researchers and youth workers to design and lead workshops where young people can share their Covid19 stories, contribute to data analysis, and present findings. The project particularly welcomes applicants whose voices and experiences are often underrepresented, offering them a space to be heard, build confidence, and make meaningful connections - all while shaping important research about the long-term effects of the pandemic on young people.

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. Crescere 2024 took place at Hoppers.

HEBE EMPLOYMENT LEARNING PROGRAMME (H.E.L.P.)
In-depth career advice and employment readiness to increase knowledge of the skills employers are looking for, encouraging participants to discover and explore their gifts and talents. The HELP elements provided a safe space for young people to recognise their full potential and how this could apply in a work environment. This edition of the HELP programme entailed:
-
1-1 sessions: Designed specifically for young individuals, offering personalised guidance and support in relation to their educational choices and career pathways.
-
ABC ‘Excite’: In collaboration with our corporate partner Aviation Business Continuity (ABC), our taster days were tailored for young people, offering a comprehensive overview of airport operations to inspire an interest in pursuing a career at the airport.

-
Research Project Master Class: Exploring health related research by engaging with professional researchers working on public health research. This initiative provided young people with opportunities to delve into the world of research, fostering their interest and increasing their understanding in this field of work.

One-off initiatives
In 2024, various one-off initiatives took place. The May Theatre Trip involved 7 young people, offering them a unique opportunity to explore the world of performing arts. The Film Festival , with 8 participants, allowed the youth to experience and showcase their creativity in filmmaking. Interns & Work Experience provided valuable hands-on learning for 9 young people, helping them develop practical skills for their careers. Finally, the Youthwork Essentials project engaged 23 participants, providing them with crucial training and skills to enhance their involvement in community work. These one-off projects play a vital role for the communities, fostering growth, confidence, and empowerment among the youth, and offering them essential tools to succeed in various areas of life.
Moreh Mentoring
We believe that every young person should have a mentor in their lives to guide, teach, encourage, and, most importantly, listen to them. Through our Moreh Mentoring programme, we offer all the young people we work with the opportunity to request a mentor for as long as they need, providing them with continuous support and guidance to help them grow and thrive.
We maintained a small number of mentoring relationships this year, with 6 young people taking part. 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.
Theatre Production
This opportunity allowed young people to gain work experience on a real theatre production in areas such as lighting, stage management, design, event Management, and social media publicity. 1 young person took part in this experience.
Vanderlande Career Day
On the 5th of July 2024, we partnered with Vanderlande - a global leader in the aviation and engineering industry - to deliver an exclusive industry insight day for young people. During the event, 5 young people participated, having the opportunity to explore career pathways within aviation, learn about apprenticeship and job opportunities, and receive practical guidance on CV building and interview skills. This initiative aimed to inspire and equip young people with the tools and knowledge needed to take the first step towards a career in a highly competitive sector.

Listening Sessions
The Listening Sessions were a one-off initiative created in response to the tragic fatal incident involving a young person in the Clapham area, near the church and Hebe’s office. These sessions were designed to provide space for the local community to come together, share their thoughts, and express their concerns - particularly around youth safety. They served as a very important moment of collective reflection and dialogue, allowing residents to voice their fears and hopes in the wake of violence. A diverse group of stakeholders took part in the sessions, including local charities, young people, residents, the church, Lambeth Council, and the Metropolitan Police. From these conversations, a range of ideas emerged on how to better support young people in the area. These community insights directly inspired the development of the Safer Streets project - an 8-week violence prevention programme to be implemented in 2025, aimed at building safer and more supportive environments for young people in Clapham.
Royal Marsden
The project aims to equip young people with essential skills through interactive activities, focusing on problem-solving, teamwork, creativity, and transferable skills development. Key objectives include boosting confidence, improving communication, and preparing for job interviews. Participants will engage in challenges such as "The Bridge Builder," requiring teamwork to construct a functional bridge, and "The Collaborative Art Installation," where they create an art piece using unconventional materials. Additionally, workshops on confidence building, creating elevator pitches, and mock job interviews will help participants enhance their personal and professional skills. The goal is to prepare young people for future opportunities, fostering personal growth and readiness for the workforce. The participants were young people currently living with a life-changing disease. In total, 21 young people took part.

Christmas Boxes
The main objective of this project is to bring comfort and joy to families during Christmas. Through our efforts, we aimed at spreading holiday cheer and ensure that families in need feel cared for and supported during this special season.This year, our initiative involved the collaboration of:
-
6 volunteers from partners and companies
-
Financial support from iMGP + individual donations + Giving World + Felix project
-
3 dedicated members of our staff
Together, we delivered hampers with essential items to 158 families. Majority of the families we supported this year were of Hispanic ethnicity, which reflects the diverse community we have been serving.
Church work
This year we trained and consulted churches on youth work development. Our work included supporting churches in face-to-face youth provision. We hosted 2 Youth events and developed resources. We represented the Baptist Union on various CYF (children, youth & families) roundtables, and delivered workshops. We recruited 5 new interns for the Leadership year programme.
We also delivered the Youthwork Essentials training to 2 groups.
-
Supported 17 churches across London
-
Worked with over 70 young people
-
Delivered 17 speaking engagements
-
Served on 4 Roundtables/advisory boards
Finance
2024 saw us become stable once again. Due to the cuts of 2023, we were very tight with our spending. Although the number of successful applications didn’t rise, we still managed to deliver our projects. We also made a decision to outsource our Fundraising, to a bid writing company. This was due to the lack of capacity to do it inhouse since the drastically reduced hours of our Fundraising Development Manager.

Thank you to our funders and donors
At Hebe, we know that the best support for young people comes through strong collaboration.
Partnering with other organisations and companies enables us to widen our reach and create more meaningful opportunities for those we work with.
Our network of partners includes churches, youth clubs, schools, charities, universities, local councils, and local and international businesses. Every one of our projects is shaped and strengthened by these partnerships, which are central to everything we do. In 2024, we were proud to sustain and grow these relationships. We’re incredibly grateful to all our partners for their continued support. As true Hebe Champions, they’ve shared their time, expertise, and resources with us - and we couldn’t do it without them.

The Hebe Foundation Staff & Trustees
This year, our core team remained consistent, providing stability across our projects. We said a warm goodbye to Assistant Project Manager Rai and welcomed Simbie into the role. We were also excited to bring on board a young person who has grown with us - from beneficiary to youth worker - and now officially joins the office team. Additionally, two new mentee youth workers came on board, contributing fresh energy and perspectives to our ongoing projects.
Looking forward
The Hebe Foundation has been working in an environment that is increasingly difficult to navigate. Supporting young people and their families continues to be a challenge that requires meaningful investment and truly integrated efforts from charities, corporates, schools, and local authorities. While young people are full of creativity, strength, and potential, they are also navigating enormous pressures - whether personal, social, economic, or political. They deserve all our attention as they face challenges that too often go unnoticed or unsupported. One of the major gaps we’ve identified is the lack of structured, sustained support for young people in their transition from school to work. This is a crucial and often overwhelming time for them, and we know many struggle to find the space, time, and guidance they need to prepare for their futures. At Hebe, we are committed to filling that gap, providing practical and emotional support so no young person is left to navigate this alone.
Mental health remains one of the most urgent and under-addressed issues in the lives of young people today. With our new project “We’ve Got You”, we are creating safe, affirming spaces for young people to open up about their mental health, especially those with SEND who are often left behind due to a lack of understanding, services, and urgency in support. Many young people are struggling to connect with one another, and trust in institutions like schools is low - particularly for those who have felt let down time and again. This work is crucial, and we will continue to prioritise it.
We also recognise how vital it is to keep young people engaged and provided for during school holidays. These moments of the year can be especially vulnerable, with increased risks of isolation, violence, and exploitation. Our holiday programmes offer young people a space to belong, connect, learn, and grow - while actively working to prevent violence and support safer communities.
Looking ahead, we are committed to bridging the widening gap between young people and democratic institutions. In light of last year’s far-right riots and political unrest in the UK, it’s clear that young people feel disconnected, disillusioned, and unheard. At Hebe, we aim to create spaces of reflection, education, and community action - supporting young people in building a fairer, more democratic country where they feel valued and engaged.

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 continue to support youth-led action, advocacy, and resilience. We have accomplished so much together over the past year. With your continued support, and the wisdom and dedication of our staff and local partners, we know that putting young people at the centre of our work and our hearts will continue to bring about real and lasting change.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HEBE FOUNDATION
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 2024.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.
