## 2. Structure, Governance and Management

The trustees are mindful of the need to develop stronger governance policies and procedures in the coming year, and plan to put in place formal documented policies covering safeguarding, financial controls, reserves, complaints and risk management.
## 3. Objectives and Public Benefit Statement
The charity's objects are:
- To advance vocational training in barbering, beauty, aesthetics and related skills for young people in need of training that enables them to begin their careers.
- To relieve the charitable needs of homeless people, those at risk of homelessness, and people living in poverty by providing free haircuts and beauty treatments.
The trustees confirm they have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when planning and delivering activities during the year.
## 4. Activities and Achievements in the Year
During the year 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, the charity continued to build on the foundations established in its first year and significantly expanded its reach, supporting over 250 individuals across its programmes.
## 1. Financial Support for Learners
A portion of the charity's funds was directed towards subsidising the course fees of learners who would otherwise be unable to afford vocational training in hair, beauty or aesthetics. This directly supported young people in gaining the skills and qualifications needed to access employment opportunities and begin their careers.
## 2. Free Haircuts and Beauty Treatments
The charity continued to provide free haircuts and beauty treatments to individuals from low-income households, vulnerable groups and members of the wider community. These sessions were delivered by trained volunteers and trustees operating out of Estelworld Academy, offering a welcoming and professional environment to those who may otherwise have no access to such services.
## 3. Community Fundraising Event
A fundraising event was hosted during the year, which raised funds to support the charity's ongoing work and raised awareness of the charity's mission within the local community.
## 4. Community Engagement and Wellbeing
Beyond its core services, the charity continued to provide:
- Free model days offering practical training opportunities
- Informal signposting and advice to vulnerable individuals
- A safe, welcoming space for young people and adults in need of support
- Supported access to vocational training pathways
In total, the charity supported over 250 people during this financial year, representing a significant increase in reach and impact compared to the prior period.
