A word from our Chairman Keith Soper:
“It gives me considerable pleasure to report that in 2022 the trust has continued to grow in line with the objectives and targets of its new three-year business plan.
“Our work is currently focused on the London Boroughs of Lewisham and Southwark and with the impact of Covid and the current cost of living crisis there has never been a more urgent need for the range of programmes we run. It is no exaggeration to say that without our work the most vulnerable families in our communities would suffer even greater hardship and deprivation.
“This year we received a record level of donations from Millwall FC supporters and provided 9,000 free meals for children out of school term time. Without our intervention many would simply go hungry. Our support for NHS workers and their families has continued during 2022.
“We continue to ensure that the programmes we run tackle some of the most challenging social issues of our time.
“In this annual report we set out the much-valued work we undertake in relation to:
- Community Engagement
- Education and Life Skills
- Employment and Training
- Health and Wellbeing including tackling obesity
- Sport and Physical Activity
- Youth Interventions including tackling anti-social behaviour, street violence and knife crime
“Every programme delivers positive and measurable outcomes. Overall, the trust now works with 12,000 individuals across 20 strands of activity and participants are aged from 5 to 75 years.
"We have made a conscious effort this year to improve upon the work we do in relation to equality, diversity and inclusion all under the guidance of the EDI Committee chaired by Jason Vincent. 79% of those currently attending our programmes are from BAME backgrounds.”
