Ubuntu Youth
Thank
you
for
your
part
in
bringing
the
Youth
Futures
Project
to
life
this
year.
I
want
to
introduce
myself,
Issy
Crocker
Chair
of
the
Board
of
Directors
for
Ubuntu
Youth
–
the
organisation
behind
Youth
Futures.
Together
with
Joseph
the
board
and
I
want
to
give
you
a
brief
snapshot
of
our
activities,
and
invite
you
to
celebrate
the
successes
with
us,
knowing
that
you
are
a
significant
part
of
making
it
all
happen.
We
have
been
amazed
in
particular
by
the
quality
and
consistency
of
support
–
people
gravitating
to
this
project
because
they
want
to
be
a
part
of
something
so
significant,
staying
engaged
and
encouraging
others
to
come,
or
putting
some
money
this
way
–
knowing
that
almost
every
penny
goes
to
delivery.
Chances
are
you
are
one
of
those
people;
that
in
some
way(s)
you
are
supporting
this
project,
and
we
are
very
grateful
to
you
for
that.
2. And
what
makes
this
project
so
significant?
It
is
the
young
people
themselves,
they
are
truly
amazing.
They
have
life
and
spirit
and
high
aspirations
for
themselves
and
their
community.
They
put
Camberwell
and
Southwark
on
the
map.

feel
free

our
journey
and
achievements.

How we got to where we are now

their
time
and
money
to
pay
for
the
venue
and
food.

London Citizens and City Safe Havens
Working
with
London
Citizens,
in
particular
Imogen
Moore,
we
have
established
Wyndham
Estate
as
a
Safe
Haven.
This
was
done
in
partnership
with
local
shops
and
businesses
who
now
offer
their
space
to
young
people
if
they
are
in
danger.
The
Young
Leaders
have
created
a
video
for
London
businesses
to
understand
the
purpose
of
City
Safe
and
how
to
respond
in
an
emergency.
These
developments
were
presented
by
our
Young
Leaders
at
London
Citizen
events
to
several
hundred
people.

5. Underpinning our work
Fundraising:
Although
it
has
been
our
biggest
challenge
this
year,
we
have
made
an
important
start
in
our
fund

mostly
on
support
from
friends
and
family.
We
intend
to
build
on
this
good
start
in
our
second

Our
successes
this
year
include:
·∙
Initiated

6. Thank You!!!
Some
people
distinguish
themselves
for
their
outstanding
contributions
– Wil
and
Jasper
for
all
the
work
they
have
put
in
behind
the
scenes,
creating
the
website,
making
videos
and
inspiring
others
to
come
forward.
– Debs,
Sasha,
Sam,
Hannah,
Alice,
Kerrise
and
Imogen
for
their
immense
energy,
time
and
passion
put
into
delivering
sessions.
– All
our
Young
Leaders
-‐
our
older
young
people
who
are
taking
responsibility
for
different
elements
of
the
project.
It
would
take
a
book
to
write
a
full
acknowledgement
for
the
parts
each
person
has
played
this
year
and
in
some
cases
for
many
years.
So,
in
the
hope
that
we
have
not
left
anyone
off
this
list
(and
do
please
let
me
know
if
I
have
–
as
it
would
not
be
intentional)
we
have
a
record
of
the
support
in
2012.
Joseph
of
course
does
deserve
a
special
mention
–
he
has
a
capacity
to
draw
people
in
through
his
vision,
compassion
and
ability
to
build
relationships
with
whomever
he
is
with.
And
the
young
people
keep
on
coming,
which
says
so
much.
I
want
to
close
with
some
words
of
one
volunteer.
She
said
“Don’t
thank
me
–
I
love
it”,
and
then
in
a
text
to
Joseph
she
wrote
“Joseph
–
I
don’t
know
what
I’d
do
without
the
youth
project,
which
of
course
wouldn’t
exist
without
you.
So
fond
and
impressed
with
the
group.
2013
is
going
to
be
big!”
Because
of
all
of
you,
