**----- Start of picture text -----**
During our first year as a charity, our primary focus was on fundraising
events and public donations, which were essential to supporting our
initiatives. To meet our goals, we organized our own events and
participated in other local community activities. At every event, we not
only raised funds but also worked to raise awareness about the impact of
knife crime on society.
As a charity, we took a measured approach, prioritizing community
engagement before scaling up our efforts. We dedicated time to listening
to the community's concerns about knife crime and exploring how we
could make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and young

## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
## Our Aims:
We plan to use a combination of education, collaboration, and awareness to reduce knife crime in rural areas. Through our fundraising events and social media platforms, we can engage with the wider community to share our messages and findings and fund our programs
## Education:
Our outreach programs focus on young people identified, by agencies, as being at risk of committing violent crimes in the future. By offering tailored educational programs and targeted activities led by professionals, we aim to shift the mindset of at-risk youth and help them make better choices.
Social awareness and education about knife crime is key. As a society we are ignorant of not only the amount of knife crime, but also, it’s devastating effects on families, friends and communities. Our aim will be to use our voice to drive greater levels of education targeted at those most likely to take up the path of carrying a knife.
We have developed an education programme which we have started to deliver in secondary schools, Pupil Referral Units and Youth Groups across the region. We will continue to update and work on the education programme to ensure that the information we are sharing is current and relevant.
## Collaboration:
We will collaborate with various local groups and organisations working with young people to provide a diverse range of regular fundraising events, all free for the community to attend. These events will offer a platform for local youth organisations to connect with their community and promote their mission, encouraging more young people to get involved and join, rather than being left without guidance. Our goal is to support grassroots groups through donations and by creating opportunities that help them grow, ensuring they can continue to support local youth for years to come.

A united voice is a powerful voice. As a single entity, our efforts may struggle to make an impact, but we are not alone in this fight. We aim to work alongside other charities in the fight against knife crime in the hope that we can amplify our collective voice and strengthen the anti-knife crime movement, increasing its reach and impact.
## Awareness:
Through our engagement with local communities via our social media platforms and events we attend, we aim to raise awareness about the devastating impact of knife crime, both in our local area and countrywide. Our goal is to inspire others to join us in making a positive change by focusing on solutions and working together to reduce knife crime, rather than dwelling on its tragic consequences. Together, we can create a stronger, safer community for all.
While this is not currently applicable, it is something we may revisit in future financial years, once we can demonstrate the positive impact of our programs and initiatives.

- policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related investment;

## Section D Achievements and erformance p
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
To raise funds, we hosted two incredible events that allowed us to share our story and mission. These events were inspired by Michael Allen’s passions for cars (MIKES Motor Mania) and rugby (MIKES Rugby Tournament). While these events served as a platform to spread awareness and to fundraise, we ensured they were free to attend and offered a variety of activities for the whole family to enjoy without financial burden.
In partnership with a local school and a martial arts group, we funded a ten-week course aimed at empowering young people to make positive changes in their lives. The impact of this course has been significant: schools have reported improved attendance and academic performance, and one student transitioned back into mainstream education. Based on these positive outcomes, we plan to expand these sessions within our local area and across Cornwall, while exploring the potential to adapt this model for other activities.
We’ve also received numerous requests to give talks at youth groups and schools to share our message, thanks to the informal conversations we’ve had during previous visits. As a result, we’re in the process of developing an education program that we hope to roll out to secondary schools across Cornwall in the next financial year.

## **Section E Financial review**
**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves**
Reserves are held within the Trusts bank account; these are review periodically at our meetings. Currently, as we do not have regular outgoings and are funding programmes on an adhoc basis so we can monitor the reserves very closely and ensure we keep the desired amount in the bank to enable us as a charity to be able to continue running.
