2016 END OF YEAR REPORT
INTRODUCTION
In an Olympic and Paralympic year, 2016 saw the Youth Charter embark on one of its most challenging, yet exciting years. With an ambitious transformation programme and strategy near completion and within its four year Legacy for All proposals the challenges and opportunities locally, nationally and internationally reflect an extraordinary effort of the project team, Advisory Board and Trustees within the Youth Charter’s commitment to engage, equip and empower the young people and communities we are committed to supporting.

JANUARY
The month of January saw the on going development of the Sport England fund-ed Community Campuses in East Manchester and Hulme and Moss Side. The Community Activation Fund now in its second year will aim to recruit 60 Social Coaches, develop an interactive digital passport, Code4Youth and deliver a physical activity offer to 1,000 young people in the respective areas. A consortia of agencies has now been brought together to deliver this exciting project and programme of work, as outlined in the info-graphic below.

JUNE
The month of June started on an extremely sad note with the passing of Mu-hammad ‘The Greatest’ Ali. The Youth Charter has worked with the Muhammad Ali Center and Institute for the past ten years developing our international pro-gramme of work.
June 16th ‘Youth Day’ marked a special day in the Youth Charter journey in the Republic of South Africa, and was also the 20th anniversary of the launch of the Youth Charter in Johannesburg. 20 years on, a remarkable journey of achieve-ments and milestones realised.

2016 END OF YEAR REPORTTHE YOUTH CHARTER
A Black Lives Matter march was hosted in Manchester with Executive Chair, Geoff Thompson, delivering a speech to a multi-cultural and diverse crowd in Alexandra Park. The march marked the fifth anniversary of the shooting of Mark Duggan that led to riots in London, Manchester and Salford and other English cit-ies in 2011, a year before the hosting of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralym-pic Games.
With the run-up to the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games the Youth Char-ter began its Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Participation analysis of Team GB. This analysis will form a central part of the Youth Charter 2016 Games Legacy Impact Report.
The Youth Charter (YC) 2016 Games Legacy Impact (GLI) Report is a four-year (2012 to 2016) review of the social and human development legacy activity with young people and communities locally, nationally and internationally. The YC 2016 GLI Report is our four-year analysis from the Youth Charter 2012 Games Legacy Report.
This research provides the supporting evidence for the Youth Charter Community Campuses and Social Coach Leadership Programme which are our key Legacy Impact recommendations from these reports.
AUGUST SEPTEMBER
As the new school year started, so another busy month and autumn began for the Youth Charter, starting with an interview with young volunteers with the Upris-ing in Manchester leadership programme. This was delivered with partners from the Birley Community Campus.
This was followed by contributions to several events and conferences, including:
1. Why Sport The Future of Sport Employment, Skills and Apprenticeships conference in Wolverhampton 2. Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards 2016 in Louisville, Kentucky 3. Soccerex Global Convention in Manchester
The Future of Sport conference was brokered and supported by the Youth Char-ter with Active Black Country and Why Sport delivering the event.
The Youth Charter was invited to attend the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards 2016 by the Muhammad Ali Centre. The event was poignant reminder of the in-credible legacy left by Muhammad Ali, with the Youth Charter provided the re-sponsibility for his legacy in the United Kingdom.
The Youth Charter continued its annual contribution to the Soccerex Global Con-vention which we first attended in 1998 and at which we launched the Youth Charter ‘21’ Soccerwise Report in 2014.

During the month of December Youth Charter supported Combatwise Sportivate sessions were delivered by Ho Shin Do and Jubilee Church as part of the Birley Community Campus.
AND FINALLY
2016 presented an on going Youth Charter journey of many challenges and op-portunities in realising a collaborative approach in the support of our young peo-ple and communities we are committed to engaging, equipping and empowering through our sporting, artistic, cultural and digital projects and programmes.
The agency’s efforts continues to punch way beyond its weight with a dedicated contribution by the project team, Advisory Board and Trustee Board who have all now contributed to the transformation programme that now sees the Youth Charter equipped to attract and secure the continued investment that will see the social, cultural and economic impact realised within the clear potential reflected for the future.
The Youth Charter would also like to say a sincere and heart felt thank you to everybody who continues to support and contribute to our philosophy, values, mission aims and objectives.
We would also like to say goodbye to those who are no longer with us but con-tinue to provide an inspiration of hope and opportunity in all that we continue to do. To Tom ‘Tomahawk’ Manion, the inspirational leader of Irwell Valley Housing Association, with whom so much was planned, but so critically cut short by his unexpected and tragic passing. To the 6th Duke of Westminster the Youth Char-ter’s first President, who provided the all important support and influence in all that the agency would become locally, nationally and internationally.

Gerald Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster commanded a unique place in the Youth Charter journey following the relationship established with Executive Chair, Geoff Thompson during the Manchester 2000 Olympic Bid, 2002 Com-monwealth Games and the Greater Manchester Youth Games, which all bene-fited from the Duke’s patronage.
As the first President of the Youth Charter, the Duke of Westminster not only lent his name to the agency, but above all accompanied the Youth Charter on the streets of Moss Side and Toxteth to present, promote and provide the unique understanding and empathy that the Duke brought to the Youth Char-ter’s work on the streets of the young people and communities that needed a person of substance and conviction.
The highlights of the journey included; the Opportunity for Youth at the Mid-land Hotel in 1995, the opening of the Youth Charter HQ in 1996, the Moss Side Millennium Powerhouse and the Toxteth Social Centre of Excellence were all inspired by his support. Equally, the Youth Charter’s unique status as a United Nations Non Governmental Organisation again resulted from the Duke’s ability to react and respond to the needs of the agency’s aspirations to act locally and deliver globally. Quite simply, the Duke’s support for the Youth Charter has inspired a legacy of the now established sport for development and peace movement. His Grace will be sadly missed, but never forgotten in all that he represented.
WHAT WE DO...
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US...
The Youth Charter tackles educational non-attainment, health inequality, anti so-cial behaviour and the negative effects of crime, drugs, gang related activity and racism by applying the ethics of sporting and artistic excellence. These can then be translated to provide social and economic benefits of citizenship, rights, re-sponsibilities, with improved education, health, social & civil order, environment, vocation, training, employment and enterprise opportunities for all.
The Youth Charter adopts a multi-faceted approach to achieving its objectives, often by forging partnerships with a wide range of public and private sector agencies – engaging, motivating and inspiring achievable and sustainable bene-fits.
“I have had the unique perspective to witness the work of the Youth Charter with-in its birth, development and coming of age. I was to witness the Youth Charters’ growth and impact in the UK and in South Africa. One of the highlights of the many Youth Charter programme initiatives was the “Spirit of the Streets Tour of South Africa”, which followed Manchester’s highly successful 2002 Common-wealth Games. I had the privilege of hosting the Tour Group with fellow IOC Hon-orary Member, Dame Mary Glen Haig and witness the development and growth of young people who had been exposed to travel and the social and cultural diversity of the new South Africa.” - Sam Ramsamy, IOC Executive Member
“I first became involved with Youth Charter as a teenager because I felt passion-ately that everyone should have a chance in sport like I had, regardless of their background. The charity has gone global, using sport as a bridge to bring even the most socially-challenged youngsters back onto a positive path.” - Dame Sarah Storey DBE

Our Philosophy
“Sport is an order of chivalry, a code of ethics and aesthetics, recruiting its members from all classes and all peoples. Sport is a truce, in an era of antagonisms and conflicts, it is the respite of the Gods in which fair competition ends in respect and friend-ship (Olympism). Sport is education, the truest form of education, that of charac-ter. Sport is culture because it enhances life and, most importantly, does so for those who usually have the least opportunity to feast on it.”
Rene Maheu
Our Vision
“Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is merely passing time. Vision with action can change the world...”
Nelson Mandela
