For the public benefit of the reduction or prevention of poverty through (i) provision of uniform and supplies so young people can access education (ii) provision of facilities and instructors to support young people in their education. ## **1i) Providing Extra Curricular Activities** We have provided weekly sessions for 10 months of the year, once a week, engaging up to 15 young people each session. Within these sessions the young people have been learning practical skills and our team have been teaching them basic English language. The activities that they have participated in include basic cooking, sewing and drawing and making various crafts. We have also started to provide sessions for parents to see how we can support the families and show them what the young people have been learning within the sessions. ii) **Supporting Local Schools to get young people back in to education** Through the parent’s session we have been able to meet some of the families in their homes and have discussions around what their needs are.

We have also had teachers qualified at a basic level teaching the young people English as part of these sessions. In everything Espero Global has done this year we have used the guidance given to us by the Charity Commission to ensure that the public we are working with have received the most benefit from the work we have carried out. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** March **2012** **TAR** 3 You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** Over the last year the most significant achievements that Espero Global has made are: - 1) This year we have worked with 57 unique young people. We have also had around 550 total attendance for the year. - 2) The young people have developed their skills significantly in areas such as sewing and artistic expression through drawing. They have also been able to use these skills at home by fixing clothes so that they can be worn again. - 3) We have successfully recruited a coordinator to oversee the work in Santiago and to liaise with the board back here - 4) We have successfully negotiated a partnership with another local charity in Santiago called Vida Joven. They provide an extra session for young people during the week. This was developed due to the young people from our Saturday sessions being on the streets of the barrio every night where the environment is clearly unsafe and in some circumstances considered dangerous. - 5) We have successfully recruited a new trustee to support us with marketing and fundraising. - 6) We launched a small sponsorship scheme for young people in the Los Santos barrio. We are currently sponsoring 2 young people with support for food and school supplies.
