Structure, Governance and Management

Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees sets our future aims and priorities focusing on strategic planning and governance and also evaluates our performance and progress in our work to alleviate poverty and suffering.

The Board of Trustees appraises the Senior Management Team and can make appointments to it as well as dismissals. The Board of Trustees also make sure that we satisfy the regulatory requirements on us as a charity and works with key stakeholders.

Recruiting and Appointing Trustees

Apart from the first charity Trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed and convened meetings of charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees or appoint a new charity trustee. There is no maximum number of charity trustees that may be appointed to the CIO.

Organisational Structure and Decision Making

Meetings of the Trustees at board level govern the organisation. Relevant matters are delegated to the CEO of the organisation who manages the day-to-day operation of the service. The board provides strategic support on matters

relating to operational, finance, environment and social value in the interest of public benefit. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity. In the interest of transparency, the Trustees make the following observations on the two key principles of public benefit.

All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid during the year. The Trustees met as a board four times during the financial year. The charity has a full range of policies and procedures. Each year the trustees review those policies which include:

Governing Document

MO1 Youths refers to the charity incorporated organisation with a governing document known as CIO constitution by foundation originally incorporated on 31st August 2022.

Responsibilities of Trustees

The annual report and financial statements are prepared according to the relevant law and approved by the trustees.

The trustees keep adequate accounting records and they show and explain our transactions. The records also disclose our financial position with reasonable accuracy at any time and enable trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charity Commission Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2015.

�

Grant Making Policies

We provide grants to projects if the request meets our charitable objectives and criteria. Project grant making is managed according to a designated process, which is documented in our Operational Risk-Management Framework. We aim to treat all grant applications

professionally, equally and fairly. We make the final decision as to eligibility to receive a grant, at our discretion.

Public Benefit

We develop strategic plans to make certain that we provide maximum public benefit and achieve our strategic objectives, which fall under purposes defined by the Charity Act 2006.

Risk Management

The Trustees regularly review risks related to short- and longer-term organisation plans. The trustees are satisfied that the systems and procedures are in place to mitigate Mo1Youths exposure to major risks, which can be identified as follows:

Future Plans

Trustee Statement- Jehan Yacoub

Looking back over my second year as a trustee, I feel an even deeper sense of pride and connection to what Mo1 Youths has achieved. This year has been about truly understanding the organisation's heartbeat. I've seen firsthand how much young people and families are carrying — the financial strain, pressure to succeed in school, uncertainty around employment, and rising mental health challenges. Against that backdrop, our work has felt not only meaningful but absolutely necessary.

What has stood out most is the way our programmes — from mentoring and employability to sports, wellbeing and our dedicated girls-only spaces — create real, tangible shifts in young people's confidence and sense of possibility. I've heard parents say that Mo1 Youths is the one place their child feels understood, and I've seen our team respond with empathy, cultural awareness and lived experience that makes our support feel authentic rather than transactional.

As trustees, we've worked hard to strengthen governance, champion safeguarding and ensure the organisation has the stability it needs to grow. But it's our frontline staff and volunteers — their consistency, creativity and willingness to go above and beyond — who bring our mission to life every single day.

Looking ahead, my biggest hope is that Mo1 Youths secures a safe, stable and permanent space. A dedicated home would transform our ability to deliver high-quality mentoring, strengthen wellbeing support and grow our sports programmes consistently. It would give us the stability to plan long term, expand sustainably and create an environment where young people feel ownership, belonging and pride.

I want to thank our staff, volunteers, partners, funders and most importantly the young people who allow us to walk alongside them. Investing in young people shapes futures, strengthens families and builds hope where it is needed most.

Trustee Reflection

One moment has stayed with me. After a youth club session, a single parent of two children, one of whom is neurodiverse — shared how much our sessions have helped her family. Her younger child, who usually acts as a young carer for their sibling, "gets to feel like a child" when they attend Mo1 Youths. And those sessions give her a small but much-needed moment of respite — time to breathe, reset and gather strength.

It reminded me that our work isn't only about activities or programmes. It's about dignity, relief, belonging and the ripple effect that one safe space can have on an entire family. That's why I'm proud to be part of Mo1 Youths.

CEO Statement — Mohamed Senhaji, Founder of Mo1 Youths Charity

My name is Mohammed Senhaji, known in the community as Mo, and I am proud to serve as Founder and CEO of Mo1 Youths Charity.

Mo1 Youths was built from lived experience. Growing up in Kilburn and moving to North Kensington in 1999, I was excluded from mainstream education, attended a pupil referral unit and lived with undiagnosed ADHD and dyslexia. I survived a serious assault and lost my best friend to knife crime. Boxing became my turning point, giving me discipline, structure, confidence and purpose. That personal journey is the foundation of everything we do.

I established Mo1 Youths to create the safe, supportive environment I wish had existed for me. Today I am proud to reflect on just how far we have come. In our first full year of operation we raised £47,951. In 2023/24 that grew to £180,852. In 2024/25 we reached £285,820, a nearly sixfold increase in three years, reflecting the growing trust placed in us by statutory partners, foundations and the communities we serve.

That investment has enabled real impact. Across 2024/25 we supported young people and families through mentoring, boxing and fitness, cycling, educational catch-up, employability initiatives, girls-only programmes, health and wellbeing activities and targeted outreach. A key focus remains the prevention of serious youth violence, knife crime, anti-social behaviour, criminal exploitation and gang involvement. Through trusted relationships, early intervention and community-based support, we continue to provide positive alternatives and pathways for young people who may otherwise be at risk.

We have also strengthened our work around mental health and emotional wellbeing. Drawing upon my own experiences and our team's lived understanding of adversity, we work alongside NHS services, Public Health teams and specialist partners to improve confidence, resilience and overall wellbeing. Building on my previous role supporting young people through the Grenfell Health and Wellbeing Service at St Charles Hospital, we remain committed to ensuring young people can access culturally sensitive and appropriate support when they need it. Alongside this, we continue to deliver preventative education around substance misuse through honest conversations, mentoring and positive role modelling.

One of the achievements I am most proud of is seeing young people progress into education, employment and training. Participants have gained qualifications in Gym Instructing, Lifeguarding and Railway Engineering, secured apprenticeships and college placements, and made quieter but equally important progress including improved school attendance, renewed confidence, better family relationships and positive decisions for their futures.

These achievements would not be possible without the dedication of our staff, volunteers and trustees. I am particularly proud that two of our trustees are young people who first came to us as troubled youth and went on to turn their lives around. They have since returned to Mo1 Youths to help steer the organisation and shape our programmes from the inside. Their presence on our board is one of the clearest demonstrations of what this charity stands for and the progressive, people-centred nature of how we govern ourselves. Alongside them, our wider board brings valuable professional expertise and lived experience, ensuring strong governance while remaining deeply connected to the realities faced by the communities we serve. We also continue to involve youth ambassadors in shaping our work, ensuring young people's voices remain central to decision-making.

Our partnerships with the Metropolitan Police, NHS, Public Health teams, RBKC, Hammersmith and Fulham, K&C Foundation, John Lyon's Charity, Westway Trust, City Bridge Foundation, Young K&C and many others are what enable us to reach further and go deeper.

Challenges remain. Demand continues to grow, costs are rising and our ambition to secure a permanent home remains our most pressing priority. We were honoured to be selected for Golborne Youth Centre before essential building repairs caused delays and we remain hopeful that this vision will be realised. Looking ahead, we aim to strengthen our staffing capacity, diversify income streams, expand our programmes and further establish Mo1 Youths as a trusted community anchor organisation. We also aspire to acquire a dedicated minibus to improve accessibility and create more opportunities for the young people and families we support.

I remain fully committed to ensuring Mo1 Youths operates with integrity, transparency and strong governance, and most importantly to standing alongside the communities we serve. I would like to thank our beneficiaries, supporters, funders, partners, staff, volunteers and trustees for their continued trust and support. Together, we are creating stronger, safer and more connected communities.

Who We Are

Mo1 Youths Charity supports disadvantaged young people aged up to 25, living across Westminster, Hammersmith, Fulham, Ealing, and Kensington and Chelsea. Specialising in intensive, targeted mentoring for NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) youth, care leavers, and those at risk of serious youth violence, we focus on supporting marginalised young people who are not engaged with mainstream youth services. This includes those with criminal

records or those known to local authorities or intervention services, such as Early Help.

During the first three years as a charity, Mo1 Youths has supported over 1,900 young people across Westminster, Hammersmith, Fulham, Ealing and Kensington and Chelsea. Our services continue to make a significant impact on the lives of disadvantaged and at-risk youth, primarily across our sites in Cluny Mews (Earls Court), North Ken Golborne Youth Centre, Westway Trust spaces and our Hammersmith office, as well as through detached youth work at Horniman Park and Lancaster Youth Hub. Mo1 Youths holds accreditation in Good Management for Supplementary Schools and Other Out-of-School Settings, awarded by the Young People's Trust.

In addition to working with challenging youth, we offer lower-intensity support for those wishing to engage in activities, providing access to wider opportunities. We are particularly committed to supporting young people from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, low-income households, and refugee or immigrant families, particularly where English is a second language. Our mission is to create pathways for success, helping young people overcome challenges and reach their full potential by offering personalised support, mentorship, and access to new opportunities.

How We Engage with Youth

Five programme areas designed to meet the diverse needs of young people in our community.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROGRAMMES Promoting health, discipline and teamwork through sport Mo1 Youths delivers weekly boxing, fitness training, cycling, skateboarding and martial arts sessions. These programmes provide structure, positive routines and a safe physical outlet for young people, while building discipline, resilience and confidence. Over 40 young people engage in boxing and martial arts sessions every week across our sites in Golborne and Cluny Mews.

MENTORSHIP One-to-one, personalised support to navigate challenges and set life goals Our trauma-informed, relationship-first mentoring is at the heart of everything we do. Trusted youth workers build consistent, long-term relationships with young people — meeting them where they are, attending court with them,

visiting their families, and walking alongside them as they build brighter futures. 90% of ITAV participants identify their Mo1 Youths mentor as a trusted adult in their life.

EMPLOYABILITY & SOFT SKILLS

CASE STUDIES — The Real Impact of Our Work

The following case studies, drawn from programme monitoring reports and funder evaluations, illustrate the depth

and breadth of Mo1 Youths' impact across different programmes, age groups and types of need.

Ben — From High Risk to reflective Leader (RBKC ITAV / SYV Prevention)

Ben was previously regarded as one of the most high-risk young people in the Royal Borough, with a history of serious violence and multiple arrests. He joined ITAV under a nine-month YOT Referral Order for possession of a bladed weapon, his second such offence. Through 1–3 weekly mentoring sessions, consistent family engagement with his father, and two transformative overseas residentials, to Gibraltar and Madeira. Ben has not been arrested in over a year. He successfully completed his YOT order without further incident, a significant achievement given his history. He has voluntarily distanced himself from local tensions, increasingly demonstrating maturity and emerging leadership. He is in near-daily contact with the Mo1 Youths team and is being supported into vocational planning. His insight after the Gibraltar trip: the contrast between his London environment and the residential setting reinforced his desire to change, a direct outcome of Mo1 Youths' belief in the power of new environments to shift mindsets.

Aaron — Education and Employment Combined (RBKC ITAV / SYV Prevention)

Aaron was referred through statutory services with a history of motor vehicle offences. His youth worker attended court with him and turned the experience into a mentoring opportunity — opening conversations about consequences and future choices. Aaron is now enrolled at Morley College working towards GCSEs and a Level 2 qualification, while simultaneously holding down employment as a lifeguard. His ability to balance academic study with professional work demonstrates the compounded impact of consistent mentoring, educational support and the Gibraltar residential, where he engaged with older positive role models.

Yusuf, 15 — Gradual Re-engagement with Education (K&C Foundation: Closing the Education Gap)

Yusuf was referred to Mo1 Mentors by his aunt, who described him as 'withdrawn at home but angry outside', spending time with older boys and resisting any conversations about his future. His school attendance was poor and he often left sessions early or refused to engage.

The Mo1 Youths team prioritised relationship-building over confrontation — listening first, challenging second. Over several months, Yusuf began staying for full sessions, asking for help with specific Maths topics and showing pride when completing tasks. His aunt reported: 'He talks about Mo1 at home. That's new. He even tells his cousins to come instead of hanging around outside.' Yusuf said: 'I don't like feeling judged. Here it feels different. I can say what's on my mind.' He is now beginning to think about 'what he wants to do next' — a significant shift from a young person who had previously dismissed education entirely.

Hudayfah, 21 — From Mentee to NHS Employee, Coach and Entrepreneur (K&C Foundation: Skills & Employment)

Hudayfah joined Mo1 Youths in 2017, initially attending occasionally and struggling with confidence and life direction. Through long-term mentoring and targeted employment support, his trajectory has been remarkable.

He is now employed full-time in the NHS as an Information and IT staff member. He has founded his own graphic design business offering branding and t-shirt printing services. He delivers boxing and fitness sessions four times per week as a paid Mo1 Youths coach, funded through Sport England and Young K&C mental health streams. His sessions directly support other young men to improve physical health and manage mental health challenges. Hudayfah is the embodiment of Mo1 Youths' long-term impact: a former service user who has become a paid professional, a role model and a community asset.

Jay, 15 — Complex Needs, Wraparound Support (RBKC ITAV/ Serious Youth Violence

Prevention)

Jay was referred by the police, listed on the police matrix, with a history of drug arrests, an unstable home environment, risk of grooming by older individuals, ADHD diagnosis and inconsistent attendance at a Pupil Referral Unit.

Mo1 Youths adopted a light-touch, activity-based approach, recognising that group settings exacerbate Jay's challenges. A shared dinner at a local restaurant was a breakthrough: his first dining-out experience, and a moment where he received genuine recognition and inclusion. His response was immediate and positive.

His mother was connected to the Parent Carer Champions programme, receiving support to navigate housing, benefits and the education system. This wraparound approach addresses the structural factors alongside direct work with Jay himself.

"Without your calls, I wouldn't know where to turn sometimes. You actually care."

Parent of an ITAV participant

A Parent's Story — The Ripple Effect of One Safe Space (Trustee Reflection)

A single parent of two children — one of whom is neurodiverse — shared what Mo1 Youths means to her family. Her younger child, who usually acts as a young carer for their older sibling, 'gets to feel like a child' during Mo1 Youths sessions. Knowing their sibling is safe with our staff gives them the freedom to relax, play and simply be a child. She also said that the sessions give her a small but much-needed moment of respite — 'time to breathe, reset, and gather strength'.

As Trustee Jehan Yacoub reflected: 'It isn't only about activities or programmes. It's about dignity, relief, belonging, and the ripple effect that one safe space can have on an entire family.'

Participant Voice — NHS Community Partnership (CPHP with Baraka and Space 214)

'Boxing has helped me release stress and feel better about myself. I don't think I'd be going to the gym or eating better if I hadn't started here.'

'It's the only place I feel understood. I can come here, train, talk and not be judged. It's helped me stop smoking and take things more seriously.'

'I love the boxing. I get all my stress out and it makes me forget I even want to smoke. I really look forward to coming here.'

These three voices represent a core cohort of 20–22 young men aged 16–21 from North African, East African, Bangladeshi and Afro-Caribbean backgrounds attending three sessions per week in Golborne Youth Centre. The programme has delivered 156 sessions and 1,040 participant attendances, with measurable reductions in smoking, cannabis and substance use and three participants now qualified as Level 2 Gym Instructors.

Mo1 Youths — Partnership Map

Partner Endorsement

Mo1 Youths continues to be recognised by statutory partners for its specialist expertise in supporting children and young people affected by violence, exploitation, contextual harm, and multiple vulnerabilities. During the year, the organisation further strengthened its reputation as a trusted provider of mentoring, early intervention, and community-based support for young people facing some of the most complex challenges within our communities.

As part of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea's "It Takes a Village" Violence Reduction Programme, Mo1 Youths was commissioned to deliver targeted 1:1 mentoring for boys aged 15-21 affected by violence, exploitation, and harm outside the home. The programme forms part of the borough's Serious Violence Reduction Strategy and reflects the confidence placed in Mo1 Youths to engage young people who are often furthest from services and at greatest risk of harm.

In a formal endorsement, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Community Safety Team recognised Mo1

Youths' ability to build trusted relationships with children, young people, and families who do not easily engage with traditional services. The organisation was commended for delivering a culturally competent, community-led approach that places young people's voices, experiences, and needs at the centre of support.

"Mo1 Youths has consistently demonstrated the ability to work with children, young people and their families who do not easily trust services and who have experienced contextual harm and multiple vulnerabilities. The staff have strong skills in delivering high-quality support that goes beyond positive activities, providing compassionate trauma-informed safety planning and intensive work to make young people's lives safer and protected from exploitation."

Stacie Smith, Community Safety Manager, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

As an organisation, we deliver meaningful outcomes through detailed support planning, trauma-informed practice, and intensive interventions designed to reduce risk and improve safety. During the year, Mo1 Youths was recognised for achieving project targets, receiving positive feedback from young people and families, and evidencing significant improvements in the safety and wellbeing of children and families across North Kensington. This recognition demonstrates Mo1 Youths' growing role within the youth violence reduction sector and reinforces the organisation's commitment to delivering high-quality, trusted support to those who need it most.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees

MO1 YOUTHS

We report on the accounts of Mo1 Youths for the year ended 31 August 2025 as set out on pages 16 to 19.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.

Having satisfied ourselves that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

particular matters have come to our attention.

Basis of the Independent Examiner's Report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In examination of the accounts, no matter has come to our attention which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records have not been met, or that the accounts do not accord with those records.
