We have: Re-established quality services to the young people of the Borough. Forged responsive partnerships to meet need. Developed services to address the issues young people face. Our success would not have been achieved without the commitment of our staff, the involvement of young people and inclusive partnership working. To all that have worked, supported, used our services, believed and trusted us over the last 12 months, we give our heartfelt thanks. We excitedly look forward to the next 12 months, when we intend to improve and extend our services, to achieve our goal of enabling all young people to belong, contribute and thrive. _**Tees Valley YMCA**_ Tees Valley YMCA offers 25 units of quality accommodation for the young people of Darlington aged 16-25. More under 18’s than ever are being accommodated with us. This means some residents are with us at least 2 years, before we can positively move them on, which results in less turnover of residents. Our residents need intensive support, often experiencing high levels of multiple and complex needs as a result of circumstances before they reside with us, including family breakdown, substance misuse and mental health issues. Through targeted support we reduce isolation, increase coping mechanisms and resilience, introduce peer support and the social and emotional skills needed to live life positively. We work closely with other organisations to provide holistic support to enable young people to transition to independent living. ## Accommodation, Housing & Support ## _**Tees Valley YMCA**_ ## Accommodation, Housing - & Support Figures During 2022-2023 We provided: 60 315 61 Opportunities Interventions Interventions to Move to Maximise to Reduce towards Paid Income.

Young people who are homeless or care leavers, have reported high levels of positive outcomes through the Positive Support Pathway. Housing related support teaches independent living skills, emotional and practical support, which enables the young people to improve or gain the necessary skills to move towards living independently, making positive choices, improving life skills and life chances as well as improving confidence, resilience and emotional maturity. ## **Through this pathway we provided more than 15,000 hours of direct support to young people enabling them to:** **Participate in leisure, culture, faith or informal learning activities to improve wellbeing.** **Attend and access education, learn through group work and on a 1:1 basis.** **Participate in activities to increase confidence, independence and community involvement.** **Obtain and maintain employment.** **Receive tailored bespoke individual support around budgeting, managing money, healthy eating and the skills to live independently including cooking, cleaning and respect for self and others.** **Obtain assistance to cope with financial and emotional issues including access to crisis support funds as well as assistance to claim entitlements to benefits.** _**Tees Valley YMCA**_ ## **Y Connect Project** This is our 2nd year of a 4 year project. The project supports young people aged 10-19 in the Borough (25 with SEND) who are facing significant challenges / disadvantages. Through our Youth Work we improve social and emotional resilience through informal education and engaging activities. During this year we delivered 666 youth sessions, worked with 808 new young people, and clocked up 2,342 visits to our activities. We delivered 5 community and school based youth sessions each week during term time, together with 5 evening sessions per week from The Hub based at Middleton Court. We provide school holiday activities and young people enjoyed day trips to Lightwater Valley, the beach, Go Ape and Beamish, as well as surfing. These activities enable young people to build team skills and experience new things in a safe, trusted environment. _**Tees Valley YMCA**_ ## **Y Connect Project** ## We asked those who attend our sessions for feedback: 70% 75% confirmed an confirmed an increase in increase in awareness of risk awareness of how taking risk taking affects behaviour. others. 78% learned new things to improve their decision making. 71% reported the sessions made them feel better. 77% reported they will make more positive choices. 97% rated sessions good/superb. ## _**Tees Valley YMCA**_ ## **Y Connect Project** In addition to Y Connect, we have also provided transition sessions for 32 young people moving from year 6 to year 7, to explore expectations and alleviate any anxiety of the change.
