To advance the education of young people from poor and disadvantaged areas internationally by (i) providing and assisting in the provision of extracurricular activities and an alternative curriculum aimed at developing key skills in preparation for adulthood. (ii) supporting local schools where young people have removed themselves from education for financial benefit to their March **2012** **TAR** 2 families. 2. 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 continued to provide weekly sessions for 10 months of the year, once a week, engaging up to 20 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 and also basic Spanish. The activities that they have participated in include sewing, various crafts, drawing and a variety of art activities. ii) **Supporting Local Schools to get young people back into education** This year we have started to build relations with one of the local schools and our coordinator has held meetings with them in regard to supporting local young people while in school. With parents help he has also been able to help some young people with attendance in school and enabling them to keep their place in school due to regular attendance. The basic Spanish lessons we have started for Haitian migrants have also started to prepare these young people **Summary of the main activities** for school if they are able to get places as they will be able to **undertaken for the public** communicate with teachers which is important. **benefit in relation to these objects (include within this 2i) Provision of Uniform and Supplies for Young People section the statutory** We have continued to provide support to the families that we I. **declaration that trustees have** identified in the last financial year through our sponsorship scheme. We **had regard to the guidance** have also been able to support 30 young people through the Christmas **issued by the Charity** donations we were given as well. Alongside this providing educational **Commission on public benefit)** support for young people in our weekly sessions especially to Haitian migrants has become an important part of our work, helping them to integrate into daily life in Santiago and being able to communicate to a wider audience. ii) **Provision of Facilities and Instructors** We have continued to provide a safe space for the young people to come to once a week with qualified teachers to help the young people develop their skills and understanding. We have been able to utilise the dual purpose of the local facilities we have available by using it as a classroom environment and as a fun more relaxed space as well. We are currently exploring how to support our older young people better as they go through the school system so they can achieve the best outcomes. 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 56 young people with an average of 24 young people attending each session. We have also had 592 total attendances to our sessions throughout the year. - 2) The programme has developed so that we have been able to run educational and skill-based sessions alongside young people having a more relaxed space for fun and games as well. This has proved to have a positive impact with increasing numbers at each session and relationships have had the opportunity to develop with some young people on a deeper level - 3) One of our older young people has started volunteering with us on the project. This has proved valuable as he knows many of the young people and their families as he is from the neighbourhood we work in. This is a model we want to encourage moving forward as we believe to ”grow your own” staff from existing members will have a greater impact on a longer-term basis. - 4) We had a particularly successful Christmas support drive where a church in Santo Domingo provided donations of school supplies, shoes and clothes etc… for 30 young people in the neighbourhood preparing for the new school year. - 5) We have seen an increase in the number of Haitian migrants that we work with in the neighbourhood linked to the ongoing civil war in the country and many Haitians fleeing the violence. This has meant we have had to start teaching basic Spanish in the educational sessions as many of the young people only speak Creole. - 6) This year we took a group 17 young people to a swimming pool during the summer holidays. For many of them this was a new experience and lots of fun was had by everyone who attended. ## **Section E Financial review** March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** The charity currently has a very small positive bank balance. This will be used in the next financial year to maintain and develop the work we are currently doing in the Dominican Republic ## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** |**on behalf of the charity’s trustees**|**’s trustees**|**’s trustees**|| |---|---|---|---| |**Signature(s)**
