During the financial year, Mizizi Boys Mentorship CIC continued to provide mentoring, sport, personal development and community-based support for boys and young men in Coventry, particularly those from disadvantaged, minority ethnic, migrant and low-income backgrounds. Our activities focused on helping young people build confidence, resilience, positive relationships and a stronger sense of purpose. Through regular football sessions, mentoring workshops, leadership activities and educational discussions, we created safe spaces where young people could engage positively with trusted adults and their peers. We delivered activities addressing important issues affecting young people, including knife crime and youth violence, mental health and emotional wellbeing, peer pressure, healthy lifestyles, smoking prevention, employability, education and responsible decision-making. Our football and sports sessions also encouraged physical activity, teamwork, discipline and positive use of young people's free time. The organisation worked with local partners, community organisations and statutory agencies to reach young people and families who may otherwise have limited access to structured mentoring and youth activities. We also involved parents and guardians where appropriate, helping strengthen communication and support around the young person. During the year, Mizizi Boys Mentorship CIC delivered projects including Blades Down, Safe Streets, resilience and wellbeing workshops, weekly youth football and mentoring sessions, smokefree awareness activities and other community engagement programmes. The benefit to the community has included providing young people with positive alternatives to antisocial behaviour, improving confidence and social skills, increasing awareness of health and safety issues, encouraging positive role models and strengthening relationships between young people, families and the wider community. All activities were carried out for the benefit of the community and in line with the CIC's objective of supporting boys and young men to become confident, responsible and productive members of society.

Mizizi Boys Mentorship CIC consulted with a range of stakeholders during the financial year, including young people who participate in our programmes, parents and guardians, volunteers, youth workers, community organisations, funders and partner agencies. Consultation took place through informal discussions during football and mentoring sessions, feedback from young people and parents, team meetings, attendance and evaluation forms, and meetings with partner organisations. Feedback received helped us understand the needs of the young people we support and improve the way our activities are delivered. As a result, we continued to combine sport with mentoring, wellbeing, leadership and educational activities, strengthened engagement with parents and community partners, and adapted sessions where necessary to improve participation and accessibility. The consultation process has helped ensure that our programmes remain relevant to the community and continue to provide positive outcomes for boys, young men and their families.
