EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Essien is a West African word that means, ‘A child belongs to us all’ . This sentiment is at the heart of this charitable provision.
Essien’s vision is that all children in disadvantaged communities in the areas we serve can access the most appropriate support when in crisis. Advice and support should be readily available from family services, professionals and sector volunteers. With Essien, our volunteers have experiences in social services, education and health professions and will have similar backgrounds to those we support. Support will be provided to parents and guardians by mentors with professional backgrounds, many of whom have overcome their own obstacles and can relate to current-day difficult situations in a non-judgmental and unbiased way.
Essien’s mission is to ensure that vulnerable families with children aged between 0 and 18 are sign-posted and mentored to the right levels of help and support when faced with life challenges. Evidence shows that families who are the most disadvantaged in society suffer the most detriment and are the most likely to become disenfranchised.
The aim is to offer an easily accessible online telephone and messaging service with a team of experienced, trained and DBS-approved volunteers to help families navigate the myriads of provisions, or just to simply be a friendly listening, encouraging ear for a parent or guardian dealing with challenges.

INTRODUCTION
Essien Parental Advisory Service is a newly formed but impactful registered charity that covers all London areas and is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families from disadvantaged communities. Our vision is clear: to ensure that every child in crisis is provided with access to appropriate support systems, including family services, professional guidance, and community volunteers who genuinely understand their circumstances. We believe that every child, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to thrive, especially during these challenging times.
At Essien, we focus specifically on vulnerable families with children aged between 0 and 18 years. Our mission is to empower parents and guardians, helping them navigate difficult life situations without judgment and with genuine support. Research indicates that families experiencing socio-economic disadvantages are likely to encounter severe challenges, including a heightened risk of disenfranchisement. Essien recognises this plight and prioritises the reduction of young people becoming entrenched in the criminal justice system as well as addressing alarming mortality rates among at-risk groups.
Our approach involves a triage service tailored to parents facing crises related to their children. Often, they lack awareness of appropriate support options, leaving them feeling isolated. Our trained volunteers, who have faced similar life challenges, are uniquely positioned to offer mentorship based on ‘lived experience’. Many have conquered their own obstacles and are able to provide non-judgmental, culturally relevant support, signposting clients to organisations like Young Minds and other essential services.
In our strategy, our team of professional volunteers will operate out of community hubs in urban areas with significant populations of underprivileged families. Through the events and focus groups delivered by Essien, these hubs will serve as accessible points for parents to engage with our services. Our online advisory and telephone support services will further enhance our provision. We will collaborate closely with schools, local authorities, food banks, young offender institutes, and crisis centres, effectively creating a proactive network that addresses the cultural nuances of underprivileged communities.
The Office of National Statistics demonstrate that figures for young people in the UK prison system are both alarming and indicative of the urgent need for our services. The Prison Reform Trust states that over 27% of the prison population belongs to minority ethnic groups, and the over-representation of black and mixed-race children under 18 in the youth justice system is striking; they constitute 44% of the UK’s imprisoned young offenders. These figures highlight the systemic issues that necessitate our intervention for the most
4
disadvantaged in society. Additionally, we have conducted our own survey where we asked respondents to indicate the importance of a service such as Essien in their community. 100% of respondents agreed that there is a need for Essien’s services.
Essien is committed to supporting parents and guardians in shaping a future where fewer young people enter the criminal justice system. We are committed to working with professionals, other charities and social service providers on mental health and well-being provisions to help improve outcomes for underprivileged youths and to signpost them towards accessing educational and employment opportunities. Our long-term success metrics will be established through both quantitative and qualitative assessments, including reductions in re-offending rates, enhancements in school attendance, and placement success in job opportunities for the families we have contact with. Furthermore, we will gather feedback through surveys, testimonials, case studies, and ongoing consultations with community leaders to ensure our effectiveness is contextually relevant.

CHARITY OBJECTIVES
Objective 1 : Essien’s main objective is to provide online and telephone support to disadvantaged families and guardians with young children aged 0-18 years old, through whatever crisis they are facing. The organisation believes that all families should have equal access to the most appropriate levels of help and support regardless of heritage, background or financial status.
There are several charities and community interest groups in existence who are focused on young teens such as Bright Futures, The Jed Foundation and Young Mind. However, the aim is to provide a holistic advisory service that is focused on wider aspects of parenting a child in need that is supportive of struggling parents.
Offering : The primary focus will be on support for parents who, when facing a crisis related to their child, and are not aware of support options or which service to turn to. Young Mind or similar services may be just one of the provisions signposted, however our offering is to ensure that this solution is accessible and suitably equipped for our clients by providing a triage service through our team of professional volunteers. Each volunteer will have a shared ‘lived’ experience and with this closeness to culture and background, and are well placed to assess the situation, mentor the parent or guardian, provide advice and signpost to appropriate services as required.
Objective 2 : Essien’s objectives will also include community outreach work.
Offering: When fully established, a team of volunteers will provide Essien Parental Advice and Support face to face at community hubs at various locations across London. We will target urban areas with large members of the underprivileged communities and work in conjunction with schools, local authorities, other charities and community interest groups to identify areas in most need. Our volunteers will work with Food Banks, Young Offender Institutes and Crisis Centres on raising cultural awareness and to also seek referrals.
6
Essien’s objectives will be delivered in line with the organisation’s values of:
- Attentive and Responsive
We will treat all clients and associates with genuine care and compassion,
making no assumptions about their needs or reasons for contacting us
- Empowering and Supportive
Our approach will be to provide information and guidance to enable clients to take steps to improve their situation and that of their family
- Professional and Accessible
We will act within professional standards, well-defined policies and procedures to ensure that our approach is legally transparent and comprehensive.
- Confidential and Empathetic
We will adhere to a strict policy of confidentiality and are continuously mindful of GDPR and all aspects of data governance. We are also mindful of our accountabilities for safeguarding and have made provisions for this within our training and risk assessments, such as volunteers DBS checks.
7
CHARITY SCOPE
The scope may be defined as covering all the headings as mentioned in section 2 of this document, Business Rationale. These areas are a reduction in criminalisation, mental health improvements, educational achievement, a reduction in child mortality rates and other parental guidance aimed at improving the potential for clients.
The areas of support for families and guardians with children will include (and are not limited to):
-
Child mental health
-
Children with neurodiverse requirements
-
Children at risk of exploitation
-
Child abuse (sexual or physical)
-
Educational exclusion and Special Educational Needs
-
Children in Care, fostered or adopted
As initially an online service for parents, our scope may only be limited by our funding, volunteer expertise and the numbers of volunteers. Funding will allow us to raise awareness of our services, employ dedicated administrators to run the charity and expand our provision to areas and across more communities wherever we have volunteers.
The scope of Essien will also include extensive research into provisions for the needs outlined in this paper. This research will be carried out by volunteers who will build a database of services, a network of community leaders and established charities in order to signpost our clients to most appropriate services. This will also be underpinned by the professional expertise of the volunteer/mentor assigned to each client.
Areas of expertise will be governed by the professional volunteers and advisers who sign up to support this charity.

MARKET ANALYSIS
In defining our strategy for the charity, the Founders explored several factors at a macrolevel to ensure risks were identified and mitigated against and that challenges were recognised and fully understood before embarking on certain ventures.
The charity does not seek to replace or displace any existing charity in this field and by the nature of our work, are not in competition for goods, services or clients from any charity or business. Our intention therefore in conducting analysis was to provide guidance in developing our strategy and crystallising our vision.
PESTLE
The Founders and Trustees sought insights into the following key areas to ensure a thorough understanding of current themes. This information was then used to formulate the how we constructed our strategy and enabled us to focus on the areas we prioritised as activities.
| POLITICAL | •Funding, Grants •Change of government & Laws •Focus on support for vulnerable youth •Government priorities •Changes in Charity regulations •Government agenda |
|---|---|
| ECONOMICAL | •Cost of living •Economic downturns -redundancies •Reduction in donations • Corporate Social Responsibility |

| •Cyber security | |
|---|---|
| LEGAL | •Charity Laws •Compliance •Data protection and Privacy Laws •Employment Law •Fundraising regulations •Legal safeguards |
| ENVIRONMENTAL | •Sustainability Practices •Climate Change Disaster Response •Sponsor Expectations about sustainability |
The Founders also developed a SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis to identify our internal position and ability to operate successfully under our proposed governance structure.
The outcome of our analysis enabled us to confirm the viability of the charity and to refine and cement our approach.

OPERATING PLAN
The Essien Charity will be run by a Board of Trustees who are volunteers. The current Board of 7 trustees have demonstrated a continued commitment to the launch of this venture over the past 12 months.
It is recognised that to operate effectively, the charity will require a full time Business Operations Manager to be an available person to contact during business hours and respond to enquiries from sponsors, volunteers and clients in a timely manner. This role is currently being performed on a voluntary basis a few hours a week but will not be sustainable in the long term as the charity grows.
Volunteers will be recruited through social networks, media, in-person events and targeted campaigns.
There are currently six (6) trustees working in a volunteering capacity for the charity. All trustees have been DBS checked and are volunteering their expertise and time in support of launching this charity. There are also approximately 30 volunteers who have indicated that when the charity is fully established, they will offer their expertise and time to respond to enquiries and mentor clients who contact the charity for advice and support. As safeguarding is paramount to our offering, these volunteers will also be required to pass DBS checks.
Our current team of trustees and qualified volunteers are from the following professions: Essien Founder and Trustee - Head of HR
Essien Founder and Trustee - Head of Services
Essien Treasurer and Trustee - Senior Forensic Accountant
Essien Risk Manager and Trustee - Financial Accountant (Business Owner)
Essien Trustee and Learning and Development Lead - Head Teacher
Essien Trustee and Services and Policy Lead - Senior Secretary
Probation Officer
Primary School Teachers & Special Needs Teachers
Project Managers
Head of Learning and Development
Business Owners
Social Workers
Ministers of Religion

Essien volunteers have decades of experience in their fields and a desire to ‘give back’ to their communities. They have wide networks and as parents, grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, have a vested interest in the realisation of this venture and fulfilment of the outlined objectives.
Clients and service users will be identified through referrals, social media campaigns, community interest groups and partnering charities.
Once fully established, our objectives will be to provide support to outreach workers, community leaders, church groups and other charities by providing cultural insights, diversity awareness and shared lived experiences to enable greater tailoring of provisions. With appropriate levels of funding, the intention is to expand this advisory service to work in partnership with schools on early interventions following referrals.
Finally, our provision will also provide a network and support group for our own volunteers where learning and best practice can be shared so that we continuously improve our services and provide wellbeing support.
The Essien website has already been established. This includes a dedicated telephone number and email address.
12
Our client journey will be as follows:
-
Initial contact via the website which will guide the client towards a free telephone number or online form with a drop-down menu of services.
-
The client completes and submits essential information including contact details and permission for their information to be passed to the most relevant Essien volunteer.
-
Initial contact by the volunteer will gather additional information to ensure the client is passed to the most appropriate volunteer to support their needs.
-
A suitable time is arranged for the client to be contacted by the volunteer.
-
The volunteer provides advice and logs the call which is kept on a secure database.
-
The volunteer checks back with the client at an agreed future date (typically two weeks) to see if further support is required.
-
The volunteer logs outcomes for monitoring purposes.
Our operation is homebased with each volunteer using their own equipment to facilitate discussions with clients via a secure app for safeguarding purposes. Each volunteer will be provided with an induction and handbook that states our values and safeguarding procedures for both client and volunteer. Founders will also be available for debriefing conversations with volunteers and as additional counselling support.
13
FUNDRAISING
The main source of income for Essien has been financial contributions of over £5000 from its two Founders/Directors.
In August 2023 the Essien Parental Advisory Service had a launch event which attracted approximately 100 individuals from across London and the surrounding areas. Attendees were invited with our volunteer target group in mind and 30 volunteers signed up to support the charity at the end of the event.
The event was marketed via social media, and the Eventbrite platform was used to send free tickets. During the event, our fund-raising approach involved, the sale of raffle tickets for small value items (£20), a bake sale and small merchandise sale i.e. branded pens, cups and notebooks. The event was successful and generated financial donations to the charity including standing orders.
A further recent event to advertise an online HELP! session was effectively marketed on LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Facebook. Over 100 showed an interest by reviewing our Eventbrite link and other marketing material.
The charity has also produced a newsletter with updates on our activities and intended strategy for volunteers who signed up with us. Along with the newsletter a survey was sent where we asked for input from volunteers on the range of activities we should be focused on across their communities.
A further event is planned for April 2026 as the charity seeks to refine its offering, amend its Board of Trustees and acquire grant funding.
Essien Parental Advisory Service has subscribed to the Fundraising Regulator, Eagle House, London EC1V 1AW.

Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due.
They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.

Having secured a Commision and developed a sound brand and online presence, the Founders remain convinced of the need and viability of this venture and will continue in its endeavours to seek future funding. The charity has been established to operate a voluntary parental/guardian advisory service with minimal cost to its operations. The Founders provided provided £2,500 (totally £5,000) to the set up costs of the charity. This directors loan is provided on a long term basis, interest free and will not become repayable until such time the charity is financially viable and able to do so. In the financial year 2025-2026, donations have increased and sustainability therefore more likely.
