For 

Skills Coach Founda�on 

(a Charitable Incorporated  Orginisa�on) 

The Trustees have the pleasure in presen�ng this report for the Skills Coach Founda�on for the year end 30[th] April 2024. 

## **The objec�ves of the charity are to** : 

- The preserva�on and protec�on of good health among children aged 6-12 from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds, and their families, resident in London by establishing collabora�ve local networks to provide: 

inac�vity and improve physical and mental health and wellbeing; 

nutri�ous food. 

## **The year in review** 

March 2024.  It is very much in its planning phase to ensure that it is on a strong foo�ng to enable it to launch its programmes with the ambi�on that the charity is successful and sustainable.  This includes implemen�ng all the necessary policies and procedures, developing a fundraising strategy and devising an number of pilots to test the feasibility of the current trustees proposal for achieving the charity’s objects. 

Over the past year, the charity has conducted preliminary research into various programmes, ac�vi�es, and poten�al interven�ons to achieve its objec�ves. During this process, several challenges to programme delivery emerged. Notably, the recent announcement of government funding for a�er-school care has reduced the need for one of the charity’s planned ini�a�ves. In response, the charity has shi�ed its focus to iden�fying alterna�ve programmes and interven�ons that effec�vely support the most vulnerable families and young people. 

Despite new government funding, physical ac�vity to improve health and wellbeing remains a significant challenge within socially disadvantaged communi�es in London. Barriers such as limited access to safe and affordable facili�es, lack of awareness, cultural factors, and financial pressures con�nue to prevent many families and young people from engaging in regular exercise. These 



challenges are o�en compounded by broader issues of poverty and compe�ng priori�es. As such, the charity’s aims and objec�ves remain vital in addressing these persistent inequali�es, providing targeted support and inclusive programmes that reach those most in need. 

being the trustee board and the founder of the charity. 

## **Objec�ves for the coming year** 

**BEANS (Bringing Exercise and Nutri�onal Support)** . The BEANS ini�a�ve is designed to support children and families, par�cularly those who are inac�ve or economically disadvantaged. This targeted programme focuses on engaging children within the school environment, igni�ng a passion for physical ac�vity. 

The programme aims to focus on the physical ac�vity element, school interven�ons and community partnerships over the coming year. While providing essen�al nutri�onal support is a longer term goal for the charity, this will evolve at a later date once the charity has developed strong rela�onships with schools, communi�es and families within the areas it serves. BEANS aims to create a sustainable pathway that extends beyond the school day, enabling children to access affordable, local ac�vi�es in their communi�es a�er school, on weekends, and during school holidays. By fostering a lifelong love for movement and promo�ng healthy habits, the ini�a�ve aims to improve long-term health and wellbeing for both children and their families. 

Over the next year, the charity aims to develop a comprehensive needs-based assessment framework to ensure our work targets the most vulnerable communi�es effec�vely. We will con�nue engaging with poten�al partner schools to refine the scope of our programmes, build strong partnerships, and establish a clear roadmap for launch. Our goal is to collaborate with 6 to 8 schools by December 2025, suppor�ng hundreds of children in accessing high-quality physical ac�vity programmes. These ini�a�ves will be privately funded through partnerships with various organisa�ons iden�fied by our trustees and fundraising team. Once funding is secured, we will implement our delivery plan and establish robust processes for measuring and repor�ng the programme's impact.
