WEST RHYL YOUNG PEOPLES PROJECT

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a constitution and is an unincorporated association. It is a registered charity with the Charity Commission.

The Trustees are elected by the Management Committee.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objects of the charity set out in its governing document are:

To educate and assist young persons through their leisure time activities so to develop their physical and spiritual capacities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision of a counselling and advice service.

West Rhyl Young People’s Project (WRYPP) helps young people to learn and grow – become better informed, more skilled and self confident; feeling valued and supported. Our work promotes aspirations and creates opportunities and conditions for young people to enjoy improved emotional, physical and social wellbeing. Our ultimate aim is for young people to experience positive transition to adulthood; able to confidently navigate through life, overcome challenges and thrive.

Based in Rhyl, and working across North Wales, WRYPP works with young people marginalised by social exclusion, inequality and poverty. We broaden horizons, challenge, educate and nurture confidence through drop-in, detached & centre-based youth work; alternative learning programmes (for those at risk of school exclusion); intensive, short-term & tailored support to avert crisis; and specialist provision for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBTQ+) young people, their families & friends.

Public benefit

The Trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the objectives and in deciding what activities the charity undertakes. The Trustees are satisfied that the achievements and planned activities contribute to the objectives that they have set. In the planning and delivery of the activities for the year, WRYPP’s management committee adhered to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

In furtherance of the charity's objectives, activities fell, roughly, within four main strands:

WEST RHYL YOUNG PEOPLES PROJECT

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

Charitable activities during this period.

Viva LGBTQ+ continued to provide specialist one to one and group support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans young people and those with expansive gender and/or sexual identities; many experiencing bullying, exclusion and isolation.

The Children in Need funding, which had supported this work for three years, came to an end in the Autumn. However Viva was able to continue, thanks to the support of Denbighshire County Council’s Housing Grant and the Welsh Government Innovation Grant which funds Viva’s involvement in the Tŷ Pride LGBTQ+ Youth Homelessness Partnership.

During this period, the Viva team supported over 80 young people across north Wales, during very challenging circumstances, where the on-off Covid restrictions exacerbated the challenges already faced by LGBTQ+ young people.

Street-based, detached youth work - During the previous year, WRYPP secured funding from the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) to deliver a full-time detached (street-based) youth work project, called Pixel Street Project, (PSP) aimed at reaching young people who were vulnerable to child criminal exploitation, especially during the periods of lockdown. The intention PSP was to reduce young people's exposure to exploitation by engaging them in a range of sports, creative activities and issue-based discussion sessions. The project engaged over 70 young people, having reached them wherever they chose to congregate around the town. For most of the year the PSP team were operating during periods of of lockdown, so this presented challenges around how to continue to deliver the work inperson, but safely and within the law. This project was, vital at a time when young people were often congregating in hidden places to avoid falling foul of the police, and consequently were at a heightened risk of criminal exploitation – this risk was evident to the youth workers as they moved through the town. The presence of the youth workers gave young people safe access to trusted adults who had their wellbeing in sharp focus and who provided guidance and support when it was particularly hard to come by elsewhere.

This project wound down at by the end of June 2021, as the funding came to an end. But being able to continue delivering face to face youth work in this way, during such an exceptional period, provided the team and management with valuable learning opportunities and insights. Both through the observations of the youth workers and the feedback of the young people, at the close of the project a picture was beginning to emerge of the considerable harms brought about by the social restrictions of lockdown, the stress and loss experienced by the young people and their loved ones and the erosion of hope and aspiration blighting their outlook. Common to all of WRYPP’s projects, the team working on PSP, have observed and reported on a significant deterioration across the board in the

mental health and wellbeing of the young people; with noticeable increases in disclosures of social anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation. Addressing this will be a priority and the focus of planned programmes of work for the following year.

What’s Up Wednesday Group - Part of the Families First offer, this weekly youth group provides informal education and a range of fun activities to support the communication and language development of young people with additional communication needs. The regular group members were pleased to be able to meet face to face at the centre and again. This was reflected in the steadily growing membership. Such that, at year end, consideration is being given to the viability of offering an additional weekly session and differentiating the two groups by age range.

Youth Support Coordination, Families First – the Youth Support Coordinators have provided a lifeline for families in north Denbighshire during the intermittent lockdown periods, as this team were one of the very few service providers who continued to support people face to face (with safety measures in place). This was a purposeful decision on behalf of WRYPP, as the requirement to ensure that vulnerable and at-risk families were able to still experience the type of support that can only be effectively given in-person and is incomparable to online support offer, in terms of potential benefits. More importantly was the subliminal message that it conveyed to families - who reported feeling lost and isolated during this time – about the commitment the WRYPP team had to their wellbeing and that they were not alone in trying to navigate their way through the additional challenges that Covid presented.

As has been reported by the other projects, this team has noted distinct increases in mental health concerns amongst the families and challenges that the young people have faced when reintegrating to the school environment and routines.

UKCRF the Pixel Youth Engagement Project - From December 2021 onwards the UK Community Renewal Fund, was allocated to support projects piloting ideas contributing to local regeneration efforts and an increase in levels of economic activity in the area. Pixel Youth Engagement Project aimed to reach and engage young people, considered furthest from the workplace, in a range of pro-social activities intended bring young people together to experience belonging to a community and working collectively towards individual and shared goals.

Activities included bushcraft skills, hiking & outward bound experiences, camping, yoga, non-contact boxing, museum and cultural visits, cook & eat sessions, film-making, photography, music production.

The project sought to create safe physical and emotional space for young people to build trusted relationships with their peers and the project staff, and where young people could gain support from qualified counsellors. The Drop-in provided a welcoming easy-going environment where young people could engage at their own pace, and functioned as the catalyst for all the organised and structured sessions.

WEST RHYL YOUNG PEOPLES PROJECT

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

Young people were supported to identify their own strengths and develop routines and habits which beneficial to their wellbeing and fundamental to assist them in their endeavours to enter and thrive in the world of work, training and education.

At year-end the project is underway and beginning to report positive outcomes.

Additional projects

This year the charity was supported by Welsh Government funding administered via Denbighshire County Council and Denbighshire Voluntary Services Council, namely the Loneliness and Winter of Wellbeing grants. The Loneliness grant allowed the charity to purchase equipment and IT hardware to fully equip a small editing suit and podcast/music studio. While the Winter of Wellbeing grant enabled the charity to provide 12-weeks of indoor play sessions and at the local laser quest and play palace. These sessions were open to children and young people aged between 8 and 17, who had previously been involved in the summer street-based sports sessions. The young people all reside in West Rhyl and seldom have opportunities to access fee-charging activities. As part of the funded offer, each young person participating was also provided with a hot meal along with the free activities. In addition to the funding this scheme was only able to go ahead with the support and generosity of the management and staff of Geronimo’s Adventure Playzone, for which we are very grateful. This scheme benefited 34 young people.

A further Winter of Wellbeing grant allowed the charity to refurbish its kitchens, with the grant enabling the purchase of kitchen appliances, including cookers, dishwasher, tumble dryer etc. This represented a considerable investment in the future of the charity and supports the ongoing delivery of popular cooking sessions and vital crisis prevention for those needing to make use of the on-site laundry facilities.

Looking to the Future

From December 2021 the WRYPP manager was approached by another local charity, Prestatyn & Meliden Community Action Groups, to assist them following the departure of their long-term manager. This relationship was sanctioned by the trustees of WRYPP. As there is a long-held collaborative relationship between the two organisations, at year end both boards of trustees are in discussions about the prospect of merging the two organisations to form a single CIO.

Covid-19

During the year the charity has operated within Covid guidelines and has gradually been able to relax some of the more restrictive conditions that were in place at the start of the year. However, by year end - although caution still governed the charity’s practice around Covid safety - the provision took on a more familiar appearance and young people welcomed the resumption of regular centre-based activities and groups.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees have agreed that the reserves - of unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets - held by the charity should be equivalent to between four and six months of operating costs including salaries. The current reserves still fall some way short of this target. However, the situation has been considerably improved by the proceeds of the sale of the old unused premises.

The Trustees have agreed to continue to carefully monitor the budget and endeavour to rebuild reserves through a process of identifying potential savings and exploring opportunities to generate revenue .

The charity has had a more stable financial year and there are no funds in deficit. There are no uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern other than the general charity sector wide uncertainty of funding which the charity is seeking to address with the moves outlined under looking to the future.

The Trustees declare that they have approved the trustees' report above.
