In the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company’s activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community. Throughout the course of this financial year, we were able to successfully support over 150 Black Girls in schools and our local community through mentorship,community events, workshops and therapeutic support. In particular, we facilitated our school-based HER Space Programme in a number of areas across London, including Brent, Lambeth, Hackney and Hounslow, and were able to reach more Black girls than ever before. Through our programme, we supported Black girls through a variety of creative mediums which included mind mapping, bracelet making, scrapbooking, jewellery box making, painting, moodboarding and tote bag making. This allowed the girls to express themselves and create items that were meaningful to them, and reflective of their experiences. This financial year also saw us conduct research reports that supported and evaluated our work, which benefited the community by helping us to understand the purpose behind work being done and identify the improvements needed to create impact. Our research focused on the wellbeing, safekeeping and educational experiences of school-aged backgrounds, and how we can ensure they are protected both in schools and their local communities.Through events and social action projects we saw the organisation and the girls co-produce spaces for Black girls that allowed them to express themselves in various capacities, including our successful schools conference which was co-produced, directed and led by the Black girls within our organisation and surrounding community. This schools-based conference was a huge success, and allowed our girls to gain leadership, team-building and event production skills, whilst also allowing them the space to foster connections with other Black girls within their communities and address solutions on how to make the community / school safer and more equitable. We also led on career support and leadership through supporting Black girls to gain a range of experiences. This included facilitating a range of taster days, pop-up schools and career workshops, that allowed the Black girls within our community to gain hands-on practical experience, and be connected with mentors in the career paths they wish to get into. This also included facilitating a social action project, which was hugely successful. Our findings from our project evaluation indicated that all participants felt the project not only enabled them to gain a number of transferable skills, but also empowered them to actively advocate for Black girls in their local communities and connect with one another. As well as this, to culminate the project, 10 project candidates from our local community had the funded opportunity to travel to the USA (Boston and Atlanta) in November 2023 and connect with a number of organisations that also advocate the safekeeping of young Black girls. Our experience travelling to the USA allowed us to not only connect with a number of organisations dedicated to Black girls, but also develop our own organisational practices and connect our project participants with future career and personal development opportunities, whilst also enriching them with a number of cultural and educational experiences. This includes visiting a number of renowned institutions such as Harvard University and Spelman College, where they had the opportunity to speak on a panel at the Justice for Black Girls National Conference. As an organisation, we pride ourselves in being open to learning from others and utilising our learning experiences to better serve the Black girls we support within our community.
Our stakeholders are a big part of the work we do, including both internal and external stakeholders. The girls we support through our organisation and our youth advisory panel are consulted on how we approach our work, which supports the championing and direction of the work. The girls we support are valuable members of our organisation, and play a vital role in producing, facilitating and contributing towards all of our projects and programmes, as they are the core of what we do, and we want to ensure we are supporting them to the best of our ability. As an organisation, we strongly believe in our direction being led and centred around the Black girls we support, which means we frequently hold meetings with the girls in and surrounding our community, in order to better understand what issues are most important to them and how we can support them. During this financial year, we ensured we took on feedback that allowed us to better assess the impact of our work and ensure we can address areas of improvement. Through our research in schools we used surveys and focus groups to gain feedback from those we support, teachers and parents / carers, in order to gain insight on how our relationship with key stakeholders within our community can be improved. Our funders play a huge part in the way we collect and consult feedback and by diversifying our funders this year, we were able to connect with Black girls outside of our local area and engage with more young Black girls in a number of communities across London.
