## **Garth Youth Project Report 2022-2023** The Hives 25yrs experience has allowed for a well delivered and highquality service. The past 10yrs social and economic downturn has increased, is highly visible and impacted our community. With food and fuel poverty continuing to be a major issue for young people alongside the substantial rise in the cost of living we continue to secure funding to support young people in crisis through these hard times. Our preventative approach continues to help reduce anti-social behaviour, whilst working with young people on a voluntary basis to develop young person-led ideas and projects Throughout Covid-19 and coming out of the pandemic we have continued with our high levels of input into young people’s lives with dedicated youth work. We used this time effectively to have consultations with young people and adults within our local community listening to young peoples’ needs and wants. We continue to move and grow to meet these needs and wants and fundamentally keep our same ethos through the delivery of every project. Even though We are in one of the most deprived high poverty wards in Pembrokeshire. We have the highest attendance rates across the whole of Pembrokeshire. We are completely person-centred organisation with the wellbeing of young people paramount to the delivery of all our services. We work under the umbrella of our core project ‘Garth Youth Project’ The project continues to be an independent Charity known locally as the Hive. The Hive offers a safe space for young people to engage in youth activities in an informative way. We continue to feed the young people a hot meal every visit. Our numbers are at capacity, this means we open extra hours when we can to meet the needs. We have worked with the local police and schools delivering preventative work to reduce anti-social behaviours, with this in mind we have been able to develop young person-led ideas and projects moving forward. ## Achievements: We have built long term relationships with 152 young people within the Garth ward with a 56%/40%/4% ratio males /females/LGBTQI+). The staff team have worked hard during the pandemic in continuing to build effective relationships with young people. We pride ourselves at Hive, we create space that young people feel is safe for them to be who they want to be and for some young people it is the first time they can go by their preferred pronoun, chosen name and for some to be able to wear clothing they wouldn’t usually be able to do. We do not run a separate LGBTQI+ group at the requests of young people. But if that should change, then we would change to meet the need. 1. This year we have successfully supported 6 young people into work, 9 into training and 2 into university, which we feel was a good achievement given the challenges coming out of the pandemic. 2. TalkingHeads groups continue to be delivered in referrals from Pembrokeshire youth service and social services. TalkingHeads is a valued provision in partnership with young people’s counselling service. There were 134 young people involved and young people continued to be offered one to one or group support with their mental health and emotional well-being. Health and wellbeing continue within the project as paramount especially in SA61 area. ## Ongoing: We continue to work closely with external agencies. Pembrokeshire youth, Families First, Police, Schools GP’s Nurse Practitioners. This is where our main referrals come from into all our services. We have an action plan that grew from a consultation on young people’s needs. we are presently working to develop a street play project on the estate for 8- to 12-year-olds, with the aim of increasing ages right through the generations. We are especially encouraging young females to take part on any sport on offer ranging from boxing, archery, football, cricket, rugby basketball to skating. We have also linked in with a fuel and food poverty strategy set by local government. Food and fuel poverty continues to be a major issue on the estate, and we have continued supporting young people after the pandemic. We have given out 70 food parcels and made over 2000 hot meals during half term holidays throughout the year. Sporting activities and healthy minds has been at the heart of all our deliveries. We have engaged with outside agencies to make playing sport happen or to at least have it as an option with our delivery. The take up has been outstanding. We have now been able to engage with those young people not leaving their bedrooms. We have a football team and take part in tournaments locally and further afield. Our preventative education continues to help reduce anti-social behaviour, whilst working with young people on a voluntary basis to develop young person-led ideas and projects. We have 9 youth volunteers working towards qualifications in youth and community work. They are young ambassadors for our project. ## **YOUTH AND COMMUNI TY PROJ ECT TRADI NG AS GARTH YOUTH & COMMUNI TY UNAUDI TED ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** SIMPLE SOLUTIONS **YOUTH AND COMMUNITY PROJECT TRADING AS GARTH YOUTH & COMMUNITY** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 SIMPLE SOLUTIONS Contents of the Unaudited AccountsFor The Year Ended 31 March 2022** ## **Contents** ||**Page**|| |---|---|---| |Business Details||1| |Approval||2| |Accountant's Report||3| |Proft and Loss Account||4| |Balance Sheet||5| |Notes to the Accounts||6| ## **Business Details** ## **For The Year Ended 31 March 2022** **Proprietor** GARTH YOUTH AND COMMUNITY PROJECT **Accountants** SIMPLE SOLUTIONS UNIT 8 JOHNSTON BUSINESS PARK JOHNSTON HAVERFORDWEST PEMBROKESHIRE SA62 3PL ## **Accounts Approval Statement** ## **For The Year Ended 31 March 2022** I approve these un-audited accounts which comprise a Profit and Loss Account, Balance Sheet and related notes.
