Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). |
OBJECTIVES AND AIMS |
The Boys Clubhouse aims to help young Jewish men who find themselves at risk of social and economic exclusion overcome their current difficulties. Many of our clients have multiple needs, often resulting from a breakdown in family relationships, school exclusion, unemployment and a poor state of mental wellbeing. The Boys Clubhouse offers an holistic approach in supporting these young men through providing help with accommodation, food, employment, education, therapy and mentoring. |
Objectives, strategies and activities |
The Boys Clubhouse offers a range of activities and programmes, the purpose of which are multifold. Some provide the young men with practical skills while others are aimed at improving physical and mental health. The collective aim of all our activities is to provide these young men with the tools and confidence to rebuild their lives and become productive members of society. |
At all times safeguarding is at the heart of what we do with the interests and wellbeing of the client paramount. |
Our safeguarding and other policies are updated and reviewed regularly. |
Programmes and activities |
Our programmes include but are not limited to: |
Homelessness Project: |
Sadly, we are confronted regularly with instances of homelessness, caused by a myriad of circumstances such as difficulties in the family dynamic; abandonment due to mental health issues or family estrangement brought about by drug abuse, criminal activities or severe delinquent behaviour. This list is by no means exhaustive. In some cases, the young people have run out of friends to stay with ('sofa surfing'), and we have found them literally sleeping in shop fronts. Where possible, we will negotiate the safe return of the young person to the family home. This requires intense intervention and support to both the adolescent as well as to his parents. Where the better option is independent living, we source suitable accommodation and support the young person with grants for rent, food, items for personal hygiene and changes of clothing. Our facilities include a self-contained emergency housing units. |
Mentoring/Therapy: |
The first step in the rehabilitation of the young person is to create a tailor-made programme where we identify his key strengths. With the help of our team of dedicated mentors and life coaches, we seek to involve the young person in determining his future. Our mentors seek to build positive relationships, offering unconditional support, which is the first step towards restoring the client's fragile self-belief. At the same time, we are conscious of the negative impact that the delinquent behaviour of one child can have on a whole family. Our comprehensive approach includes providing appropriate family therapy to parents who are caught between wanting to provide support and continuous love, whilst at the same time struggling to establish appropriate boundaries for their child in crisis. Our team of therapists and life coaches specialise in working with adolescents and addictions, as well as family mediation. For those who have suffered deeper trauma, we provide regular therapy sessions with qualified therapists using methods such as CBT, NLP and similar. |
During the current financial year, we have expanded our equine therapy provision, which has been proven to develop emotional regulation, self-confidence and responsibility. |

for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 |
Clubhouse Business Enterprise: |
One of the most difficult challenges we face is finding our clients sustainable employment. Often, their problems are too severe for them to hold down regular employment, and they end up in a debilitating spiral of dead-end jobs. Our Business Enterprise Unit (CBE) is a multi-dimensional project that provides training in employability and business acumen. CBE is based upon an e-shop in which we identify products that sell successfully using the eBay model. Goods are sourced from local businesses which help by donating excess stock or by supplying them at minimal cost. The CBE allows the boys to receive practical training in online sales; sourcing items, the packaging and dispatch of the items, as well as a grounding in customer services. Most importantly, our clients derive an enormous boost in self-confidence from running their own businesses as this gives a sense of achievement and acts as a positive drug to combat the negative influences in their lives. |
Clubhouse Gym:. |
Our premises include a fully equipped gym. It has been proven that exercise improves mental health by reducing anxiety, depression, and negative mood and by improving self-esteem and cognitive function. With a personal trainer on hand to create tailor-made programs, this has proven to be successful with overcoming increased levels of anxiety and exasperated mental health issues amongst our youth. We continue to add other sporting activities including football and martial arts. |
ClubH Studio: |
The in-house ClubH music studio provides a healthy outlet and is often the start of a journey towards accredited skills to succeed in areas of the music industry such as sound studio, live play and recording technology. |
Israel project: |
The Israel programme is a satellite operation and mirrors our provision in the UK. Some of our young men will gravitate to Israel and we recognise the need to support them on this part of their journey towards responsible adulthood. |
Fundraising disclosures |
In June 2023 we ran a highly successful crowdfunding charity campaign. The past year also saw a significant increase in our expenditure. We invested significantly in our CBE provision and our successful fundraiser allowed us to provide a wider range of therapies and educational programs to a larger number of clients. We also experienced an upsurge in referrals. Inflationary pressure puts pressure on our homeless and food provision. Despite these challenges, we are pleased to report that a high level of service was maintained, with some reliance on long-term grants and commitments for support provided by the Garfield Weston Foundation and others. |
We would also like to thank the following charitable trusts and foundations that so generously supported us through the year including: Awards 4 All; Chesterhill Charitable Trust Limited; CSDS. Kirsh Foundation; London Youth; Oxford & St Georges, Safer Neighbourhood Fund; Shoresh Charitable Trust; the Young Barnet Foundation; Children's Aid Committee; Jewish Childs Day; London Marathon; Barclays Bank; Cost of Living Crisis Fund, Reaching Communities; Albert Hunt Charitable Trust; Westleague; CashClubs and many others.. |
Achievements and performance |
Nationally - 18% aged 7 to 16, and 22% aged 17 to 24 have a probable mental health disorder. NHS trusts are failing to offer treatment to 60% of those referred by GPs. |
At The Boys Clubhouse we respond to all requests within 24 hours. |
We have seen more than 150 referrals, a sobering and alarming number. Over 70 boys have relied on us for housing relief and basic necessities We have provided 140 days of therapy, treating deep-seated traumas and psychological scars. 6505 hours of one-to-one mentoring has resulted in significant improvements in many of the boys. 28 have moved on successfully with their lives, and no longer require our assistance. 30% of the boys we met were initially homeless. |
But we continue to be faced with a stark reality and ever-increasing and complex demand for our services; |
Over half have suffered from domestic or sexual abuse and as a consequence have suffered from debilitating drug/alcohol dependence. 5 are currently exhibiting severe suicidal ideation, with 3 in critical care at the time of writing. |

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). |
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. |
Independent examiner's statement |
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. |
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: |
1. | accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or |
2. | the accounts do not accord with those records; or |
3. | the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or |
4. | the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). |
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. |
