B YOUNG STARS LTD
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 April 2025
The trustees, who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th April 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Charitable Purpose
B Young Stars’ primary aim is to serve as a vital resource for young people aged 8 to 19 living in the Royal Borough of Greenwich by providing advice, support, and a wide range of physical, educational, and enriching activities. The charity’s objectives focus on advancing personal development by enhancing the skills, capacities and capabilities of young people, enabling them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals. The charity also promotes education, supports young people in preparing for and accessing employment opportunities to relieve unemployment, and provides recreational and leisure activities that foster community connection and improve overall quality of life. These efforts collectively empower young people, equipping them with the tools, confidence and opportunities needed to thrive and contribute meaningfully to society.
In meeting these purposes, the trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
To fulfil its charitable aims, the charity delivers a broad range of activities that support young people’s growth, wellbeing and integration. Educational programmes form a core part of its work, including Maths, English and languagedevelopment sessions to help learners adapt to the National Curriculum and improve academic attainment. Tailored mentoring and career-guidance support are also provided to help young people build confidence, overcome barriers to employment and develop essential life skills.
The charity also organises recreational and leisure activities such as sports, creative arts and youth-club events, which promote physical wellbeing, teamwork, confidence and social engagement. These activities provide safe, structured environments where young people can build positive relationships and develop healthy routines. In addition, the charity supports families by offering guidance and signposting to local services, ensuring a holistic approach to meeting the needs of both young people and their households.
Through this combination of education, mentoring, recreation and family support, B Young Stars works to advance education, promote wellbeing and create a supportive environment for the development of young people across Greenwich.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Significant activities
In 2024-2025, B Young Stars experienced a year of significant growth, strengthened by our commitment to supporting children, young people, and families across the Royal Borough of Greenwich. This year marked an important milestone as we expanded our work into primary schools for the first time, while continuing to deliver high-quality programmes in youth hubs and community settings.
Across all programmes, we welcomed over 200 young people each week, a clear reflection of both the increasing need in the community and the trust placed in us by local residents.
Our 11 projects this year focused not only on education but on the holistic development of young people. Through sports, mentoring, arts, wellbeing support, and community engagement activities, we created safe spaces where children could build confidence, develop resilience, and strengthen their sense of belonging. Parents and residents frequently shared how their children had become more outgoing, motivated, and socially connected because of their involvement in our sessions.
Our presence in the community also grew stronger. We worked closely with families, supported newly arrived young people - including those from refugee backgrounds - helped children develop friendships, and encouraged healthy, positive lifestyles. Our sports and enrichment programmes played a key role in improving physical wellbeing, teamwork, and emotional confidence
This progress would not have been possible without the support of our partners and funders, including the South of England/Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT), the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Barnfield Big Local, the Hyde Foundation, and the National Lottery, whose contributions enabled us to expand our reach and deepen our impact. Our commitment to continuous improvement remains at the heart of our work. By listening to young people, analysing feedback, and understanding emerging community needs, we secured additional funding that allowed us to broaden our offer and strengthen outcomes across all areas of youth development.
This year has proven that B Young Stars is not just growing in numbers-it is growing in impact. We remain dedicated to supporting young people to learn, grow, and thrive, while playing a meaningful role in strengthening the wider community.
Education, Sport & Mentoring Programmes
During 2024-2025, B Young Stars continued to deliver its Universal and Targeted Tutoring programmes, combining education, sport, and mentoring across three youth hubs in the Royal Borough of Greenwich: Woolwich Common Youth Club, Avery Hill Youth Club, and Hawksmoor Youth Club.
Each hub supports an average of 30 young people per session, providing consistent, safe, and structured spaces for learning and personal development. Educational outcomes remain strong, with 100% of young people in Key Stages 2 and 4 who attended regularly showing improvement in their academic attainment.
Beyond academic support, the programme places a strong emphasis on wellbeing and early intervention. Young people experiencing challenges related to behaviour, mental health, stress, or confidence were referred to one-to-one mentoring, ensuring they received personalised support and were signposted to appropriate services where needed. This integrated approach has helped young people improve not only academically, but also in confidence, emotional regulation, and engagement with positive activities.
School & Community-Based Programmes (My Ends Programme)
This year marked a significant milestone for B Young Stars, as we expanded our delivery into local primary schools for the first time. Through the My Ends Programme, funded by the Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) and supported by the Royal Borough of Greenwich, we delivered focused education and sport sessions at Cardwell Primary School and Glyndon & Plumstead ward.
The programme provides a holistic offer that goes beyond classroom learning, responding to wider challenges faced by local communities, including deprivation, limited access to safe youth spaces, and increased risks around exploitation and youth violence.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 April 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Key elements of delivery include:
a) Free Maths and English support led by qualified teachers
b) Sports and enrichment activities promoting health, teamwork, and positive routines
c) Mentoring and emotional support to build confidence and reduce risk factors
d) Community engagement, supporting families and strengthening neighbourhood connections
Alongside work with young people, B Young Stars actively supported residents by signposting to food banks, offering guidance, and hosting community and parent engagement events focused on safety, youth violence awareness, and local opportunities.
Reach & Participation Snapshot
a) 800+ total attendances across Cardwell Primary School and Glyndon & Plumstead ward b) 200+ young people registered, aged 5-25, from diverse backgrounds
c Strong and consistent engagement across all delivery sites
Age breakdown of participants:
a) 12-15 years: 59% b) 0-11 years: 28% c) Remaining participants aged 16-25
This demonstrates that the programme is primarily supporting younger adolescents at a critical stage of development, while also engaging children and young adults through a continuum of support.
Borough of Sanctuary Programme
B Young Stars continued to deliver the Borough of Sanctuary Programme throughout 2023/24 and 2024/25. Due to its strong impact and continued need, the programme has been extended until mid-2026. The project supports Ukrainian refugee children whose education and wellbeing were disrupted by war, displacement, and the pandemic. Through weekly sessions combining English and Maths tuition with sport and recreational activities, the programme helps young people rebuild confidence, re-engage with learning, and feel part of their local community.
What We Delivered
a) Weekly education and wellbeing sessions b) English-Ukrainian dual-language learning resources
c) Safe, inclusive spaces led by Ukrainian-speaking and trained staff
d) Close partnership working with CACT, Ukrainian Support Greenwich, Royal Borough of Greenwich, and local schools e) Early support for young people at risk of disengagement or isolation
Impact at a Glance
a)) 35 young people attending on average each week
a) Improved confidence in learning and use of the UK curriculum
b) Strong peer relationships and increased sense of belonging
c) Increased confidence among families navigating education and services
d) Targeted support provided for young people facing additional risks
Refugee children continue to face language barriers, trauma, and disrupted education long after arriving in the UK. This programme provides consistent support, trusted relationships, and a community-based response that mainstream services alone cannot always offer.
HAF Programmes
Last Easter, B Young Stars successfully delivered the HAF programme, welcoming 40 children and over 60 registrations. For those we could not accommodate, we referred families to other local services delivering HAF to ensure no child missed out on holiday provision.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 April 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
For the young people, the programme offered a safe, structured space to develop new skills, build friendships, and engage in enriching activities including sports, arts, and educational workshops. Participants experienced improvements in confidence, physical well-being, and social interaction, contributing to their overall personal growth. Nutritious meals were provided daily, helping address food insecurity and encouraging healthy eating habits.
For families, the programme alleviated the challenge of finding affordable, meaningful childcare during the holidays. Parents and guardians reported peace of mind knowing their children were in a supportive and safe environment. The programme also provided access to wider support services, creating a holistic approach to family and community wellbeing.
Our continued success in delivering HAF has enabled us to secure funding for the Summer Programme and the upcoming Easter Programme, ensuring we can continue providing vital holiday provision for local families.
The programme's success is reflected in positive feedback and high levels of engagement, with many children returning for multiple seasons. By meeting the dual needs of young people and their families, our HAF programme has become a vital resource, fostering community connection and making a tangible difference in the lives of those it serves.
Youth Activities and Community Engagement
B Young Stars continues to deliver weekly youth services and community engagement programs aimed at fostering a sense of belonging, promoting personal development, and supporting families across the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
Our activities include:
a) Supporting Families: Providing guidance and practical support, including access to food banks.
b) Sports & Recreation: Offering physical activities such as football at the MUGA cage and other games, encouraging teamwork, physical fitness, and confidence-building.
c) Workshops & Education: Delivering sessions for both parents and young people on critical topics, including violence prevention and knife crime awareness.
d) Trips and Enrichment: Organising recreational outings that broaden experiences and build social connections.
Through these initiatives, we create a safe and welcoming space where young people can learn, play, and develop positive relationships. On average, 30 young people aged 8-17 attend each session, benefiting from the holistic support, mentorship, and opportunities we provide.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit (section 17 of the Charities Act 2011) when planning the charity’s activities throughout the year.
B Young Stars Ltd’s work delivers clear public benefit by advancing education, promoting the wellbeing of children and young people, relieving unemployment, supporting community cohesion, and providing safe, inclusive spaces for learning and development. Our programmes are designed to meet the needs of young people aged 8–19 in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, with particular focus on those experiencing disadvantage, disrupted education, language barriers, or social isolation.
The benefits of our work include improved academic attainment, increased confidence and resilience, stronger peer relationships, enhanced physical and emotional wellbeing, and greater engagement with positive community activities. These benefits are demonstrated through regular attendance, participant feedback, observed progress and the outcomes achieved across our educational, mentoring, sports, and community programmes.
The trustees are satisfied that all activities undertaken during the year were directly aligned to the charity’s purposes and delivered meaningful public benefit without any undue personal benefit to individuals.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
I am incredibly proud to reflect on the achievements of B Young Stars during the 2024-2025 year. This has been a transformational period for our organisation. one where we not only expanded our programmes, but deepened our commitment to supporting children, young people, and families across the Royal Borough of Greenwich. This year, we stepped into primary schools for the first time, broadened our presence in community hubs, and supported more than 200 young people every week. Whether through learning, sports, arts, mentoring, or wellbeing activities, our mission has remained the same: to provide safe, inspiring spaces where every child feels seen, supported, and valued.
I am particularly proud of the way our programmes have strengthened young people's confidence, resilience, and sense of belonging. Many children joined us shy, disengaged, or unsure of themselves, yet through the dedication of our staff and volunteers, they have grown into motivated, confident young people who thrive both in and outside of school.
Our impact would not be possible without the trust and partnership of local schools, funders, community organisations, and parents. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you, as well as to our incredible team, whose passion and consistency continue to drive our vision forward.
As we look ahead, our focus remains clear: to empower young people, uplift families, and strengthen our community, one child at a time.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
During the financial year, B Young Stars generated total income of £137,578 and incurred total expenditure of £95,467, resulting in a net surplus of £42,111.
Of this surplus, £36,446 relates to restricted funds, which are designated for specific projects and cannot be used for general operational purposes. The remaining £5,665 represents unrestricted funds, available to support the charity's core activities and governance.
The growth in income reflects the charity's continued expansion, successful fundraising, and delivery of multiple funded programmes across youth hubs, schools, and community settings in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. This included the launch of new school-based and community engagement programmes during the year.
Full details of income, expenditure, and the balance sheet are provided in the accompanying statutory financial statements.
Reserves policy
At the year end, B Young Stars held £36,319 in unrestricted reserves.
Unrestricted operational costs during the year totalled £53,413, meaning the charity's free reserves are sufficient to cover approximately eight months of core running costs. Restricted expenditure relating directly to project delivery totalled £42,054.
The Trustees consider this level of unrestricted reserves appropriate given the charity's delivery model. The majority of the organisation's costs, including staff salaries, sessional delivery staff, venue hire, equipment, and programme resources, are funded through restricted grants and contracts secured specifically for project delivery. This ensures that programmes are fully resourced without placing undue pressure on unrestricted funds

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Going concern
The trustees have undertaken a detailed assessment of the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approving these financial statements. This assessment considered the charity’s financial position, funding pipeline, liquidity, delivery commitments, and the wider external environment in which the charity operates.
The charity closed the financial year with £36,319 in unrestricted reserves, representing approximately eight months of core operating expenditure, alongside strong cash balances and positive net current assets. The trustees consider this level of free reserves to provide an appropriate buffer against short-term financial pressures.
In assessing going concern, the trustees evaluated several key risks:
a) Funding dependency risk: A significant proportion of income is derived from grants and contract funding. The trustees reviewed confirmed funding already secured for the forthcoming year, renewal conversations with funders, and the strength of historic funding relationships. Based on current commitments and expected funding cycles, the trustees do not anticipate a material reduction in income that would impact the continuity of services.
b) Cost and inflationary pressures : Rising staffing and delivery costs remain a sector-wide risk. The trustees modelled the impact of increased delivery costs and confirmed that planned programmes remain achievable within existing and expected restricted funding levels, with the ability to adjust expenditure if needed.
c) Operational delivery risk : B Young Stars delivers multiple programmes across schools, youth hubs and community venues. The trustees considered staff capacity, volunteer resources, and programme scheduling, alongside safeguarding and quality-assurance frameworks, and concluded that operational risk does not threaten the charity’s ongoing viability.
d) Liquidity and cashflow risk : The trustees reviewed forward cashflow projections, including grant payment schedules and major expenditure commitments. Forecasts indicate that the charity will maintain sufficient cash to meet liabilities as they fall due throughout the review period, with no expected material uncertainties.
Based on the above considerations, and after reviewing reasonable downside scenarios and available mitigation measures, the trustees are satisfied that B Young Stars Ltd has sufficient resources and financial resilience to continue operating for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis
FUTURE PLANS
Over the next year the charity intends to:
a) expand primary school delivery to additional sites b) scale mentoring and early-intervention services
c) strengthen safeguarding and youth safety programmes
d) secure longer-term multi-year funding
e) enhance family support and community engagement initiatives

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The recruitment and appointment of charity trustees follow a structured and transparent process to ensure the effective governance of the charity. Trustees are appointed during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) or may be co-opted throughout the year, as needed, to address specific requirements or skill gaps within the board.
All trustees undergo an induction process, which includes training on governance responsibilities, the charity's operations, and its goals, to ensure they are well-prepared to fulfill their roles effectively. This approach supports a diverse, knowledgeable, and committed board that is equipped to guide the charity's activities and achieve its mission.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the major risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure that appropriate systems and internal controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud, error, and operational failure. Risk is monitored on an ongoing basis through programme oversight, financial review, and safeguarding supervision.
The trustees assess risks regularly, with particular focus on:
a) safeguarding and the welfare of children and young people
b) financial sustainability, including reliance on restricted funding and grant dependency
c) staff and volunteer capacity, recruitment, and retention
d) reputational and governance risks
e) health and safety across youth hubs, school delivery sites, and community settings
Mitigations include safeguarding training, enhanced DBS checks, child-protection policies, financial oversight procedures, regular budget monitoring, external partnership working with statutory and community bodies, incident reporting systems, and project monitoring frameworks. The trustees are satisfied that these measures reduce risk to an acceptable level and support the safe and effective delivery of charitable activities.
