| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Break The Mould Foundation has continued to grow steadily through its early infancy, developing firm foundations for long term charitable impact. Throughout the year we have focused on strengthening our core projects, widening our reach, and building the operational capacity needed to sustain future growth. Fundraising remains a priority, with ongoing applications for grants to support both direct delivery and essential operational functions. While our resources are still limited, we have made clear and measurable progress. A key achievement has been the successful delivery of our Young Soles programme within local schools. Initially launched as a pilot, the project has grown in both demand and impact, helping young people improve their physical health, mental wellbeing, confidence, and engagement in education. The charity is continuing to deliver Young Soles and is now planning the next phase of development, building on the strong foundations and outcomes learned through this first period of delivery. We have also remained actively involved in the wider community development work taking place around the proposed Liscard community hub. Break The Mould has been identified as one of the lead charities for the next stage of planning, reflecting our growing reputation and the trust placed in us by partners across Wirral. |
Overall, despite being in a formative stage, the charity has demonstrated clear progress. We continue to pursue funding opportunities, strengthen partnerships, and scale the programmes that are making a meaningful difference to young people and financially vulnerable families. We remain confident that Break The Mould will expand its reach and deliver even greater impact in the financial year ahead.
