During this financial year, the company has continued to deliver impactful programmes that support young people and families across the boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth. Our primary initiative under the CIC has been Project Motiv8, a targeted programme designed for girls aged 10–13 who are navigating key educational transitions, from primary to secondary school, and from lower to upper secondary education. Project Motiv8 is a dance-based personal development programme that incorporates our unique movement methodology alongside structured mentorship. Through this approach, we support girls in building confidence, emotional resilience, and a sense of belonging during transitional periods that can be challenging both academically and socially. In addition to the core programme, we also delivered a summer extension for girls aged 14 and above, training them as peer-to-peer leaders. This not only provided leadership development opportunities but also strengthened the sustainability of the programme by creating positive role models within the community. Alongside our youth work, we have continued to provide advocacy and support for families, with a specific focus on those raising children who are Black and/or neurodivergent. This work mirrors elements of Early Help, offering holistic guidance to parents as they navigate the education system and advocate for their child’s needs. Our support includes: Helping families understand processes within schools and local services Supporting children with emotional wellbeing and school transitions Offering access to our own programmes or signposting to other suitable community services Through these combined activities, the company has contributed to improved wellbeing, increased community participation, and better educational outcomes for children and young people. Our work continues to address inequalities, create safe and empowering spaces, and strengthen family and community resilience.

Yes. Throughout the year, we carried out regular consultation with stakeholders to ensure that our programmes remained responsive, effective, and aligned with community needs. As part of our monitoring and evaluation requirements for funders, we implemented pre- and post-programme questionnaires for all participants in Project Motiv8, allowing us to assess the girls’ progress, confidence levels, and overall experience. Parents and carers were also asked to complete end-of-programme questionnaires to provide feedback on their child’s engagement, wellbeing, and the impact of the project on their transition into school. In addition to this, we collected ongoing feedback through session evaluations, feedback forms, and informal consultations. We also engaged with partner schools, both those we work closely with and those we consult more broadl, to gather insight into the needs of their pupils and the effectiveness of our support. Consultation also took place with our directors and trustees, with regular communication throughout the year and a formal trustee meeting scheduled for the new year to review our activities and strategic direction. This stakeholder engagement ensures that our work remains transparent, accountable, and co-designed with the communities we serve.

The directors did not receive any remuneration for their duties as directors during the financial year. However, the CIC did make payments for project delivery and operational work, which were invoiced separately through a limited company at standard market rates. These payments were for contracted services and not for directors’ remuneration.
