Young Minders

The BAME Home Education Hub Annual Report and Summary of Accounts 31st October 2025

Registered Company Number: CE034648 Registered Charity Number: 1206233

Contents

FOREWORD

The Trustees present this report for the year ended 2024/25 and confirm that they have complied with their duties under Section 162 of the Charities Act 2011 in preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report.

2024/25 was a year of growth and consolidation for Young Minders – The Home Education Hub. The charity continued to advance its charitable objectives by supporting home-educated children, young people, and families through inclusive educational, physical activity, and wellbeing programmes that respond to identified community needs.

During the year, Young Minders expanded its programme offer through established STEAM and CREST-aligned learning activities, an enhanced rugby programme, and the launch of the new Roots to Growth sessions. Together, these initiatives provided opportunities for learning, physical wellbeing, personal development, and social connection. Rugby continued to play an important role in building confidence, resilience, teamwork, and emotional wellbeing, while Roots to Growth successfully combined practical learning with wellbeing-focused activities in a structured and engaging environment.

The Trustees recognised increasing demand for holistic provision that supports both education and wellbeing. In response, the charity delivered a growing number of accessible community-based sessions and events, with particular attention to supporting families from underrepresented and low-income backgrounds. Growth was managed carefully, with appropriate focus on safeguarding, health and safety, and organisational capacity.

During the year, the Trustees approved and began implementing a five-year strategic plan to guide the charity’s future

development. Alongside programme delivery, investment was made in governance, fundraising capability, and partnership development, strengthening the organisation's foundations and supporting long-term sustainability. Early progress was also made in developing corporate partnerships and aligning activities with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles.

The Trustees are grateful for the dedication and professionalism of the charity’s volunteers, whose contribution remains essential to its success. Throughout the year, Young Minders remained responsive to the evolving needs of families while maintaining a strong focus on quality, public benefit, and impact.

The Trustees believe that the progress made during 2024/25 provides a strong platform for the charity’s next phase of development. With a clear strategic direction, strengthened governance, and growing evidence of impact across education, wellbeing, and physical activity, Young Minders is well placed to continue helping children and families thrive.

On behalf of the Trustees, we thank all those who have supported Young Minders during the year.

FUTURE PLAN

During the past year, Young Minders – The Home Education Hub made significant progress against the priorities set for 2024/25, including expanding programme delivery, strengthening partnerships, and increasing participation across our activities.

Building on these achievements, the charity will continue to focus on sustainability, responsible growth, and deepening our impact within the homeeducating community.

Sustaining and Expanding Programme Delivery

Young Minders will continue to deliver a range of inclusive programmes that support the educational, physical, and emotional wellbeing of children and young people.

This includes STEAM learning sessions, physical activity through partnerships such as Croydon Rugby CRFC, wellbeing initiatives such as Mind & Mocktails, and community engagement events.

We aim to further develop these activities to ensure they remain accessible, engaging, and responsive to the needs of the families we serve.

Strengthening Financial Sustainability

A key priority for the coming year is to secure sustainable funding that enables the charity to maintain and grow its services.

Trustees will continue to diversify income streams through grant applications, partnerships, fundraising initiatives, and community engagement.

The charity will also continue building its financial reserves, ensuring greater resilience and the ability to sustain essential services during periods of income fluctuation.

Supporting Staff and Volunteer Capacity

To ensure effective delivery of programmes, Young Minders will continue investing in its staff and volunteer team.

This includes securing funding to sustain key staff roles, strengthening volunteer recruitment and training, and ensuring the organisation has the operational capacity needed to support its growing community.

26

FUTURE PLAN

Strategic Direction and Sustainability

During the following period, Young Minders initiated the development of a five-year strategic plan (2025–2030) to guide the organisation’s long-term growth and sustainability.

This strategy will focus on strengthening governance, diversifying income streams, expanding community programmes, and embedding Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into the charity’s work.

The strategy reflects Young Minders’ commitment to operating responsibly while continuing to provide meaningful educational, wellbeing, and community opportunities for home-educating children and families.

In particular, the charity aims to promote environmental awareness, build stronger partnerships, and ensure programmes are delivered in a financially and operationally sustainable way.

Partnerships and Community Collaboration

Young Minders will continue to strengthen relationships with organisations that share our ethos, including educational, sporting, and community partners.

These collaborations help broaden opportunities for young people and ensure that programmes remain relevant and impactful.

Monitoring Impact and Community Voice

The charity will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of its programmes through feedback from families, young people, and partners.

The involvement of parents on the Board of Trustees and the development of a youth voice group will remain central to ensuring that decision-making reflects the needs and aspirations of the community.

Looking Ahead

By continuing to prioritise sustainable funding, strong partnerships, and responsive programme delivery, Young Minders aims to remain a trusted and valuable resource for home-educating families.

These efforts will ensure the charity continues to grow responsibly while supporting children, young people, and families to learn, connect, and thrive.

LETTER TO SUPPORTERS AND STAKEHOLDERS

Dear Supporters and Stakeholders,

As Chair of Young Minders – The Home Education Hub, it is a privilege to reflect on a year of growth, learning, and community impact. Thanks to the dedication of our staff, committed volunteers, supportive families, and partners, the charity has continued to make a meaningful difference for home-educated children and young people.

This year, participation in our programmes grew to 945 children, young people, and families, reflecting the rising demand for inclusive learning and wellbeing opportunities. Our activities provide safe, engaging spaces where young people build confidence, develop new skills, and form meaningful social connections.

We delivered a range of impactful initiatives, including our Mind & Mocktails wellbeing event, a group visit to Science Live, and our Sustainability Day, which encouraged families to explore environmental awareness and responsible community action. Alongside STEAM sessions and rugby partnerships, these programmes support both educational and emotional wellbeing.

We also strengthened governance and community voice, welcoming several parents to our Board of Trustees and engaging young people in providing feedback to shape the charity’s future direction. Partnerships with local organisations and leaders, including discussions with the Mayor of Croydon, have opened new opportunities to support home-educating families.

Looking ahead, we remain focused on long-term sustainability, strengthening funding, growing reserves, and implementing our five-year strategic plan. On behalf of the Board, I extend sincere thanks to all staff, volunteers, families, and supporters whose commitment enables Young Minders to empower young people and strengthen our community.

Together, we remain dedicated to creating a supportive environment where every child can learn, connect, and thrive.

I can't express how grateful I am for the support we've received. Each session we attend leaves us feeling inspired and better equipped to handle the challenges of home education

Loved the general vibe and the friendly volunteers—made the event so welcoming!

Thank you so much for today, what a fantastic initiative it exceeded all of our expectations! So glad the rain predicted held off for most of the day too.

A wonderful experience overall. My child enjoyed the slime and aeroplane activities, and I appreciated the variety of hands-on projects. I’d love to know more about similar future events

The event was well-organised, and we felt very welcomed. My children really enjoyed the hands-on activities, especially the slime-making. Thank you for such a wonderful experience

Thank you, Young Minders, for allowing us to have such an amazing experience! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

Being part of Young Minders opened doors to opportunities like attending NHS networking events and learning about healthcare innovations—it’s been an inspiring and transformative experience.

The activities were excellent and kept my child’s attention all day. The setup was very family-friendly, and it was exciting to see my child so curious and interested in science and engineering.
