Mr Joel McDaniel has undertaken funding raising and policy conduct training. The training was an introductory session. This allowed Mr McDaniel to become familiar with a few applications and how to place bids. The charity has successfully been assigned two sets of funding totalling £5500. The success of the projects have demonstrated a need for this services to be set up and established further. Additional training for Trustee are required. Some training can be accessed from free training websites. However, there is a concerns relating to the certification costs and the overall effectiveness of free training courses for specific training requirements such as Safeguarding, KCSIE and the SEND code of practice. |

| Contribution made by volunteers |
Ayesha McDaniel is currently working as a volunteer to the Charity and assist with all administrative duties excluding banking. As we become we grow the need for more volunteers will increase, this will need to be closely monitored and defined to insure the charity continues to grow as per our mandate as seeking funding can increase the risk for moving into an alternative direction. |

| Section D | Achievements and Performance | ||
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
EEP - Pilot - was able to get off the ground and into action, supporting 15 young people about to embark on their last education transition before adulthood - (Secondary school to college/sixth form). The success of this project has created more voluntary hours for Joel to commit to and the charity will need to seek funding to support. Joel is currently committed to supporting children, young people and their families outside of his Full time working hours. Ayesha has agreed to support with transportation of goods and supporting Joel to attend in person where possible to reduce transport costs. Whilst the charity is newly established and has begun to make connections with locals schools and voluntary and private youth groups. It is evident through the take and commitment shown by children, young people and their parents/carers there is a need the requirements to be supported. With plans to work alongside senior school leaders to fully understand the financial strain and lack of resources schools within INDACI 1 areas. Our current research has demonstrated that there is a significant decline in adequate resources, knowledge and finances being allocated to supporting children, young people and their families within a multitude of causes. Since COVID 19 the Mental Health and SEND cases have increase by 83% in families requiring social care involvement whilst SEND have a national increase of 50% confirmed EHCP's. The need for the charity knowledge and resources are fundamentally needed on a national level. We need to review our current funding templates and include our recent data and research outcomes to increase our income and develop a sustainable £15,000 per annum to support to delivery of projects. Costing or donation will need to be included for planning training courses and support groups in bid to extend the work that is needed within these communities. |
