Company activities and impact

During the financial year, our organisation has continued to deliver impactful community-based programmes aimed at supporting disadvantaged young people, particularly those from BAME back grounds and low-income households. Our primary activities have focused on providing structured physical activity sessions, including football training, fitness boot camps, and mentorship programmes. We have successfully run twice-weekly sessions at accessible locations such as New River and Lee Valley Athletics Centre, engaging young people in safe, structured activities that promote physical health, mental wellbeing, and social development. These sessions have been instrumental in reducing isolation, building confidence, and creating positive pathways away from crime and gang involvement. Beyond physical activity, our mentorship initiatives have provided vital support, helping young people navigate challenges related to poverty, mental health, and community violence. Our coaches, who have lived experience of these issues, act as role models, fostering trust and engagement. Our work has directly benefited the community by creating inclusive opportunities for young people who might otherwise lack access to sports and mentorship. We have strengthened local partnerships with organisations like the Godwin Lawson Foundation and Thru Life, further enhancing the support available to participants. Through regular monitoring, participant feedback, and impact tracking tools such as WEMWBS, we have seen tangible improvements in fitness levels, confidence, and overall wellbeing. Our efforts have also led to increased visibility, including a BBC interview, helping to further our mission of empowering young people through sport and community engagement.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our organisation engages with a range of stakeholders to ensure our activities effectively meet the needs of the community. Our key stakeholders include: Young people (participants) – The primary beneficiaries of our programmes. Parents and families – Providing insights into the challenges faced by their children. Local community organisations – Including the Godwin Lawson Foundation, Thru Life, and local authorities, who support our work. Coaches and mentors – Who directly deliver our programmes and interact with young people. Funding bodies and partners – Providing financial support and strategic guidance. Consultation Methods: Regular feedback sessions with young people to assess programme engagement and effectiveness. Surveys and informal discussions with parents to understand their needs and concerns. Meetings with community partners to align on best practices and share resources. Review sessions with coaches and mentors to improve delivery and address challenges. Actions Taken in Response to Feedback: Adjusted session timings to accommodate participants facing travel and scheduling difficulties. Expanded our mentorship support after young people expressed the need for more one-on-one guidance. Improved equipment and facilities to enhance engagement and training quality. Strengthened safeguarding measures based on feedback from parents and partners. Increased outreach efforts to ensure more young people from disadvantaged backgrounds can access our programmes. By maintaining open communication with our stakeholders, we continuously refine our approach, ensuring our programmes remain impactful, accessible, and aligned with community needs.
