|**Description of charity's trusts**|||
|**Summary of the objectives**<br>**of the charity set out in it's**<br>**governing documents**|I. To promote and advance the education, mental wellbeing and to relieve the needs of<br>children and young people aged 5 -16 years old within the UK facing a range of challenging<br>issues and circumstances including but not limited to those suffering from mental health<br>issues, or that have experienced or that are currently experiencing childhood trauma, as<br>well as providing support to children and young people that have been affected by the<br>issues caused by undiagnosed Special Educational Needs and Disabilities through the<br>provision of a free advice, support and mentoring service<br>II. To promote and advance education through the provision of support to educational<br>establishments specifically the staff members including but not limited to schools, colleges,<br>and pupil referral units (PRUs) through the provision of training, resources, departmental<br>development sessions, advice and information.||
|**Summary of the main**<br>**activities undertaken for the**<br>**public benefit in relation to**<br>**these objectives (including**<br>**within this section the**<br>**statutory declaration that**<br>**trustees have had regard to**<br>**the guidance issued by the**<br>**charity commission on**<br>**public benefit)**|EEP (Early Engagement Programme) - Within Key Stage 3, 4 and 5 - Age 5 - 16 Within<br>Central and East Birmingham, as well as Walsall.  This programme targeted; support for<br>mental wellbeing, adverse childhood experiences, undiagnosed Special Educational Needs<br>and Disabilities - creating improvements in school; attendance, academic, behaviour and<br>engagement. We also observed reductions in exclusion rate.||

|**Additional details of objectivise and activities(Optional Information)**|||
|**Policies, procedures and**<br>**training for induction and**<br>**training for trustees**|Mr Joel McDaniel has undertaken funding raising and policy conduct training. The training<br>was an introductory session. This allowed Mr McDaniel to become familiar with a few<br>applications and how to place bids. The charity has successfully been assigned two sets of<br>funding totalling £5500. The success of the projects have demonstrated a need for this<br>services to be set up and established further. Additional training for Trustee are required.<br>Some training can be accessed from free training websites. However, there is a concerns<br>relating to the certification costs and the overall effectiveness of free training courses for<br>specific training requirements such as Safeguarding, KCSIE and the SEND code of practice.||
|**Include policy on**<br>**grantmaking, policy**<br>**programme related to**<br>**investment**|||
|**Contribution made by**<br>**volunteers**|Ayesha McDaniel is currently working as a volunteer to the Charity and assist with all<br>administrative duties excluding banking. As we become we grow the need for more<br>volunteers will increase, this will need to be closely monitored and defined to insure the<br>charity continues to grow as per our mandate as seeking funding can increase the risk for<br>moving into an alternative direction.||

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