Working both independently and in partnership with other institutions for the mutual benefit of the wider community and young people. ## **CHAIRS REPORT** This past 12 to 18 months has been a time like no other. Families and individuals have faced huge unexpected challenges such as threats to health, bereavement, impact upon emotional well-being, loss of employment, loss of family and social support and this is not an exhaustive list. I am immensely proud that Yellow Door has managed to remain strong during this period of challenge and has continued to function. The staff and volunteers, under Alex’s guidance, have been adaptive, resourceful and committed. Inevitably the way services were delivered had to change in many respects, there was greater use of the internet and telephone to stay connected. Unfortunately certain organised face to face groups could not meet due to the restrictions. The project has demonstrated resilience during this highly challenging time and was able to focus resources upon the local community in organising a food bank which was extremely well used. One area that has progressed significantly over the past year is Yellow Door acting as LTO for the Canvey Big Local, whilst this has led to the project overseeing several local initiatives the main focus has been The Gunny project which is taking shape and moving forward. Fortunately, with the easing of lockdown, we are now able to move forward. Completely normal service hasn’t resumed but a good positive start has been made. Reading the Annual Report always makes me proud and reminds me of the range of services Yellow Door offers and the skills of the staff and volunteers. The management committee would like to thank you all for your dedication, commitment and hard work. Of course everyone is vital but I want to give a special thankyou to Alex for continuing to steer the ‘ship’ through turbulent and uncertain times…you are all awesome! ## _**Susan Benson, Chair.**_ Annual Report 2020-2021 2 CYP-Yellow Door ## **CANVEY ISLAND YOUTH PROJECT** Canvey Island Youth Project was established in July 1992. Our constitution was adopted on the 19th of September 1996 when we became an unincorporated organisation. We became a registered charity on 29th July 1997. Charity Number 1063643 Canvey Island Youth Project is a local charity based in South East Essex. We work with young people between the ages of 11 and 25, especially those who are disadvantaged because of often-interrelated issues such as learning difficulties, behavioural problems, family issues, poverty, and mental health problems. We aim to help them by offering a range of services and activities, which focus on young people’s health and wellbeing. The services include one to one advice, information, support, and counselling including practical support such as food parcels and access to internet and group activities including a performing arts group, youth café and youth group, sports coaching, outreach and educational workshops. Within these services, we offer specialist support for drugs and alcohol, social skills and stress management. Our informal and flexible approach means we successfully work with young people that many statutory services struggle to help. Our wider ages range from 11 to 25 allows us to overcome the issue of ‘transition’ that hits young people moving between child and adult services. Our aim is to enable the young people who use our service to develop the knowledge, life skills and confidence needed to make informed choices and to manage their sometimes very challenging life circumstances. In so doing helping them achieve their full potential in education, employment, family life and society. Looking back over the past four year it is amazing how we have been able to develop our activities since we moved from operating from one room, where we functioned for the first 25 years of our history, to our current home, which has been converted from a small run down WRVS hall to a Youth Hub with a function room, two counselling rooms, a kitchen and club room and an office In 2018 we were asked to lead the Canvey Food Bank, this has involved working with supermarkets and other organisations on the island to provide food and redistribute food that would have gone to waste to those in food poverty. During the Pandemic this work involved supporting over a 1450 individuals and families with food parcels, and support packs including educational pack, sports packs, gardening packs and welfare packs. In 2020 we were asked to become the Locally Trusted Organisation for Canvey Big Local. A locally trusted organisation is the organisation chosen by your Big Local partnership to administer and account for the distribution of your funding, and/or deliver activities or services on behalf of the Big Local partnership. Annual Report 2020-2021 3 CYP-Yellow Door ## **ADVICE AND INFORMATION DROP-IN** ## **FOOD BANK** This has been a year of Pandemic and lockdowns which has meant we have had to adapt and change quickly and thoughtfully throughout this year. For our advice and information drop-in this meant expanding and almost wholly converting to food bank support for the whole community. This support helped many families get through lockdown and during the winter months continue to keep warm, fed and send their children to school in correct uniform. We also supported families with educational packs, welfare packs, gardening packs and sports packs and over the Christmas period we distributed hundreds of presents and gifts. We were often the only service to be physically open in the area, so we supported all ages with advice and support for issues such as homelessness, mental health and benefits. This included allowing people to use our phone to contact other services. For some we were the only face people saw and a welcome smile and friendly support, kept them going. We could not have done this without some amazing support from our local partners, organisations and businesses and dedicated staff and volunteers to whom we are very grateful. The food bank distributed 3740 food parcels and other essentials to over 2369 individuals. It has been estimated we provided over 150,000 meals in total. We also supported 45 adults helping them to find accommodation, get benefits and find the correct services for their mental health and other issues such as substance misuse. ## **ADVICE AND SUPPORT FOR 11 TO 25** During the pandemic the majority of our advice and support work with young people took place over the phone and via the internet. For the most vulnerable young people, such as those who were homeless or in crisis, we saw face to face. We supported young people with finding work, finding and keeping accommodation, substance misuse and mental health issues. We had 326 contacts of which the majority of the support needed was for mental health (167 contacts) and emotional support (183 contacts) but we also supported young people and their families with problems with substance misuse (19 contacts), homelessness (10 contacts), domestic abuse (6 contacts), employment support and benefits. (21 contacts.) _**“I don’t know what I would have done without your help and support. I don’t know how I would have survived.”**_ Sandra aged 40 and her two children supported by the food bank _**“Thank you so much for your help and support. I can’t believe I was able to get help like this.”**_ John age 60 helped by the food bank. Annual Report 2020-2021 4 CYP-Yellow Door ## **MENTAL HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL WELLBEING** ## **COUNSELLING** We continued to provide one to one counselling to young people from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday throughout the year. During the lockdowns we offered counselling via the telephone and online and as soon as we were allowed offered face to face counselling to the most vulnerable. We worked with 205 young people and provided 1543 counselling 50-minute sessions. On average young people received 8.5 counselling sessions. Young people were supported for a wide range of issues and problems including anxiety, depression, unstable home environment, bullying, addiction, and behaviour and anger issues. During the year we saw an increasing number of young people who were adversely affected by social media, they compared themselves and their lives unfavourably to others which caused self-doubt. Cyber bullying also increased and often had a devastating effect on young people’s confidence and selfesteem. This year we also saw an increase in young people with suicidal ideation believing that there is no other way out of their difficulties. The counselling service provide young people with a range of counselling methods including CBT, EMDR and person centred. Often counselling was a young person’s first experience of being accepted, listened to with genuine interest and understood. The service helped young people; To trust others and then themselves. To open up and make sense of their feelings. To see themselves in a new light and gain selfacceptance. To cease self-harming behaviours and take better care of themselves. To become confident to try new things. To express themselves in a helpful way and improve relationships with parents, peers and teachers and to make friends and reduce their loneliness. ||**20/21**| |---|---| |**Counselling Clients**|**205**| |**Total counselling sessions inyear**|**1543**| |**Total counselling sessions**|**1743**| |**Client Details**|**19/20**|||| |---|---|---|---|---| |**Male**||51|Ethnic Minority|6| |||||| |---|---|---|---|---| ||**Client Details 19/20**|||| ||**Male**|51|Ethnic Minority|6| |**Female**||154|Special Needs|19| |**NEET**||5|LGBT|21| _**“I've learned a lot.

This is lower than previous years and reflects the difficulties of lockdown and covid. Of the 29 young people who did not have positive outcomes, 4 clients had started counselling before lockdown and then asked to be put on hold until they could have face to face counselling. 4 were referred to higher tier services due to their mental health needs. 8 were ongoing clients they were still having counselling but had not achieved an outcome yet. The remaining 13 only had one of two sessions and either had been wrongly referred and did not want counselling or found they were not ready for counselling. 6 Annual Report 2020-2021 CYP-Yellow Door **----- Start of picture text -----**

Rachel 11 was referred to us as she had been suffering with anxiety for a few months and it was getting increasingly harder to deal with. She was being picked on at school by other students that would call her names; the stress of this caused her to pull out her eyelashes, having no eyelashes gave the students at school reason to make further comments and it started to feel like a vicious cycle that she could not get out of. Using CBT, we explored her thinking patterns and worked together to find alternative positive thoughts. Making behavioural changes helped her to break the habit of pulling her lashes and making changes to her thought process helped her to feel confident that she can cope each day. Feelings of anxiety became much more manageable, and she began to feel much better in herself; we came to an end of counselling after just 6 sessions. Her feedback: _**“I found it really helpful each session as it built my confidence uploads, thank you! It is amazing help.”**_ Annual Report 2020-2021 7 CYP-Yellow Door ## **STRESS BUSTERS** Stress Busters was a four-to-six-week course which helped young people identify the problems and issues which made them feel anxious and worried. Each course was based on the topics identified by the young people in the first week. The courses were informal and offered a range of activities to help the young people find ways to reduce their stress. This included group discussions, video clips, Apps, websites and arts and crafts. At the end of the course everyone was provided with a small box to take home which has their own ideas to help them in the future. That the courses were successful, was evident by the progress made in all the outcomes by the majority of young people who took part. The impact of Covid was clear with the issues and anxieties the young people were experiencing. It was also difficult to provide face to face groups, and during the summer of 2020 packs were provided to individuals and delivered. There were follow up phone calls to the young people/parents and the feedback was positive with comments such as they did not feel so isolated.

It offered them one to one support from a qualified youth worker once a week. The mentoring may involve a range of activities including talking, playing pool, playing games, Annual Report 2020-2021 8 CYP-Yellow Door doing sport or going for a walk. It aimed to help develop a trusting relationship and to develop life skills such as self-esteem, confidence, resilience, and self-control and in doing so enable them to make positive decisions and take responsibility for themselves. ## **DETACHED AND OUTREACH WORK** We continued to offer young people detached and outreach work for most of the year. We worked at Waterside Skate Park on Tuesday afternoons, The Avenues on a Thursday afternoons, St Georges Park throughout the week and other areas such as the High Street, Smallgain’s Hall and The Jetty. |**Area**|**Number of**

In our detached work we made young people aware of the importance of social distancing, washing hands and being responsible for the sake of themselves and their nans and grandads. We also supported them with advice and information on other issues. During the summer when we saw a large increase in the use of nitrous oxide we worked with our young volunteers to increase awareness of nitrous oxide use, using social media as well as posters and social media. The young volunteers helped to make sure the information was accessible and relevant. As a result, young people had increase knowledge about the use of nitrous oxide. We did see a substantial drop in its use after the campaign although we cannot prove a correlation. Annual Report 9 2020-2021 CYP-Yellow Door ## **GROUPS** It was a struggle to keep our clubs and sports groups going this year and for much of the year they had to be replaced with zoom sessions, outreach and detached work. We also did regular telephone welfare checks with all the young people who had been attending our clubs and sports sessions before the pandemic. ## **QUIET CLUB** Quiet Club was aimed at young people aged 11 to 18 who need support with meeting new people and finding new friends and who found the ‘normal’ youth clubs too noisy or hard to navigate. Some of the young people who attended had special needs such as ADHD or were on the Autistic spectrum. Each week Quiet Club offered young people a fun activity such as tie-dyeing t- shirts, water balloon painting, pumpkin decorating as well as sports activities, and the usual youth club activities of pool, PlayStation, and board games. When the club met on zoom they did quizzes and online games. For example, in some zoom sessions the young people were encouraged to make a top trump cards in which they were superhero including name, superpower, strength score, intelligence score, powers score, height, skill score, and bravery. It was a great game in helping young people see themselves as their best self and helped develop and improved their confidence. It also encouraged young people to be more active in the session and to get their voices heard. 59 young people attended Quiet Club over the year. We were able to run 8 face to face sessions and 22 Zoom sessions. The aim of Quiet Club was to help young people develop their social skills and improve their confidence and self-esteem. We often had to tell parents of young people new to the club that although it was called Quiet Club it most definitely was not quiet. It is full of noise and activity and young people having fun and enjoying themselves. Each week we saw young people growing and developing their skills and as well, developing their confidence which is a definite sign of the clubs success. ## **YOUTH VOLUNTEERS** Our young volunteers could be said to have been a victim of the Covid year. At the start of the year we had over 13 young volunteers who were working in the groups in particular the Youth Café and QT group and had supported community projects and fundraising. When Covid and lockdown came we tried to run young volunteers as a separate club with the support of Canvey Rotary Satellite Club. Unfortunately it was not successful and by the end of the year we only had 2 young volunteers regularly attending. As we start opening the clubs and activities in the year we will start to build our team of young volunteers again. ## **YOUTH CAFÉ** We were only able to open Youth Café for 8 sessions during this year and had to keep the young people in bubbles of 15 per session so the work was very limited. We continued to keep in contact with and work with our youth café young people through detached and outreach work. Annual Report 2020-2021 10 CYP-Yellow Door ## **NEXT LEVEL** It had been a particular difficult year for Next Level as they were not able to sing or dance and wearing masks when trying to act is not easy. However, the young people continue to attend when they could both in the hub and online on zoom. They wrote scripts, did quizzes, and played different drama games. They benefitted from meeting up, sharing their ideas for shows and socialising which helped them increase their confidence and reduced their social isolation. 12 young people attended Next Level over the year. We were able to run 8 face to face session and 22 zoom sessions. ## **SPORTS** During the year depending on what guidance was in place we continue to offer young people access to sports. During lockdown we sent out activity packs and offered online zoom coaching. The sport coach also did regular welfare checks to the young people who had been attending his sport groups. When allowed we offered one to one sports coaching, social interaction/wellbeing, and mentoring sessions to the most vulnerable. During the breaks out of lockdowns we ran outdoor multi sports sessions. This was great to get young people outdoors again after being indoors for so long. Sessions were fun all-inclusive to engage participation with lots of fun games and activities on offer. Our Sports activities this year aimed to improve young people’s health and wellbeing by keeping them active. It also helped them with their communication, self-esteem and sport specific skills which was a bonus. ## CASE STUDY RT13 had suffered from pre and post bereavement of a parent and was feeling anxious and depressed. He attended our basketball sessions with a friend. He told our worker that he enjoyed the basketball sessions. The sessions had reduced his feelings of anger, and he had made some new friends within the group. RT said he really enjoyed playing although he had never played basketball before, and when he went home afterwards he felt really good. ## **CANVEY BIG LOCAL LTO** In May 2020 we become the Locally Trusted Organisation for Canvey Big Local. During the year we have supported the residents of Canvey Big Local to establish a small grants scheme, which has supported Trust Links to supply gardening packs to residents, Prosports to run family fun sports day and set up a family sports group and a children sports youth group, and helped residents in supported housing to buy a barbeque, a local children centre to buy flooring for their sensory room, and the local catholic church to buy a boiler for their church hall. We have also ensured a garden space in the Avenues is maintained and looking good. Annual Report 2020-2021 11 CYP-Yellow Door The majority of work for the Canvey Big Local, however, has been the Gunny Project. This project aims to turn what is largely a derelict schedule 1 heritage site into a great community space for all ages by providing equipment, a community building, wetland area, wildlife areas, community garden amongst other things. This year we have supported the Canvey Big Local Residents to get a full plan drawn up, had surveys done and have had a full consultation with local residents to see if this is what they want and how they want it. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The financial results this year show a total income of £260,962 (2020: £229,033) and expenditure of £205,601 (2020: £196,289), amounting to an in-year surplus of £55,361 (2020: £32,744). Achieving a surplus has been the result of the tight management of resources to ensure that expenditure did not exceed funds available. This is particularly pleasing considering the difficulties the project has faced as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The majority of the income is from Big Lottery and Children in Need, as in previous years. We also managed to secure funding from small donations and grants to supplement this funding. We would like to thank all the people and organisations whose generous grants and donations have allowed us to continue our work. The project has a new revenue stream this year in it’s role as acting as a custodian for the funds of the Big Local projects, which continues in the current year. The increase in expenditure is mainly due to the increase in salary costs, which is the result of the charity offering more services and activities to young people. Some staff were furloughed during the early part of lockdown, for which we were able to claim government support. At the balance sheet date, the charity had free reserves of £96,643 (2020: £26,974) and restricted reserves of £119,702 (2020: £138,214). We also hold £28,055 on behalf of the Big Local. There was a strong cash position at 31[st] March 2021, with cash at bank in excess of £244,401. The trustees are satisfied that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. ## _**Anna Bakonyvari - Treasurer**_ Annual Report 2020-2021 12 CANVEY ISLAND YOUTH PROJECT Charlty Registration Number: 1063643 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 BROOMS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LIMITED CHARTERED CERTIFIED ACCOUNTANTS REGISTERED AUDITO Canvey Island Youth Projert ststement of the TrustÈÈs' Responsibilities The trustees are requtred to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charit)Ps's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of ihe year.
