We were able to showcase the brilliant work The Centre Place has delivered looking back at previous projects and celebrating its achievements.
On behalf of the trustee’s I would like to Thank you all for your invaluable support over the past 25 years.

The LGBT+ Service Nottinghamshire
LGBT+ Service Nottinghamshire is an expansion of the LGBT+ provision we have been providing since 2010. In 2016 we expanded and rebranded as
LGBT+ Service Nottinghamshire, offering professional and specialist services for children and young people aged from 11-25, parent and carer support and specialist gender identity support.
In addition to this we expanded our training and consultancy offer for professionals across Nottinghamshire. We continue to provide a 11-16 LGBT+ group, a 16-25 LGBT+ group, Trans* and gender diverse group, parents and carers group and one-to-one support for children & young people and parents and carers. We also offer LGBT+ counselling and family mediation. In 2022, we expanded our geographical reach to offering remote services in Nottingham City.
We have continued to chair Nottinghamshire LGBT+ Partnership Forum, previously known as Bassetlaw LGBT+ forum which we established in 2012. Since expanding our services to Nottingham City in 2022, we have welcomes 4 new members to the partnership.
We have continued to expand our LGBT+ networks and are actively involved in the UK and Ireland LGBT+ Youth Network, and the National Trans Youth Network which involves over 200 people working across the sector. The aim of this is to work collaboratively, to raise national standards of LGBT+ youth work, increasing visibility of the existence and diverse needs of LGBT+ young people. This Network has provided us with the opportunity to become Rainbow Flag Award Delivery Partner.
Rainbow Flag Award Delivery Partner
The Rainbow Flag Award is a national Quality Assurance Framework for all schools and colleges, focusing on LGBT+, inclusion and visibility. We were successful in becoming a delivery partner in 2020 along with only eight organisations across England. We completed the training for delivery partners in August 2021 and delivered to our first cohort in September 2021 and continue to deliver 3 cohorts a year. To date we have been successful in delivering The Rainbow Flag Award programme to 28 schools.
Training and Consultancy
Over the past year, we have delivered LGBT+ awareness training to 87 professionals from private, public and voluntary sector organisations. We have continued to share our knowledge of positive LGBT+ inclusion and young people’s experiences with the aim of tackling LGBT+ inequalities. Feedback from professionals who have attended our training can be found in the appendix.
Group Sessions and Community Engagement
We have continued to deliver group sessions providing information and advice on LGBT+ issues and inequalities, rights and legislation and opportunities to engage within social and community based activities. We have a structured programme of workshops and activities that we deliver on a weekly basis during a section of the group sessions. Example of some of the workshops and sessions that have been delivered are included within the appendix.

We were successful in planning and hosting our first Family Day in September 2021. Young people were involved in the consultation and planning for the event after sharing their disappointment around Pride events being cancelled due to the ongoing concerns around coronavirus. Young people shared their previous experiences of attending a pride event and the importance of an event for the whole family. We worked in partnership with Clumber Park National Trust who kindly enabled us to have a space within the park which allowed us to provide a Covid-safe space for young people and their families to enjoy, coming together through planned activities encouraging communication with the aim of building peer relationships. Photos of the event can be found in the appendix.

Talkzone Mental Health and Counselling Service
Talkzone is a third sector counselling service for children and young people aged 11-25; working in partnership with NHS and other external service providers we aim to provide primary care mental health interventions with particular focus on building resilience and preventing long-term mental health problems occurring. The service was established in 2004 as an addition to existing provision provided by The Centre Place, supporting vulnerable children and young people within Bassetlaw since 1996.
The Service provides one-to-one mental health support and counselling across the Bassetlaw district, with the majority of appointments being provided within Worksop and Retford towns. Counselling sessions are provided for 6-12 weeks with the option to extend or re-refer if additional sessions are required.
We have increased the work force and expanded our Talkzone service to include a Mental health and wellbeing service. This role has enabled us to provide early intervention mental health support to children and young people who do not require counselling but require support with a range of issues including anxiety, resilience building, self-help techniques, managing stress. Sessions are provided for 6-12 weeks with the option to extend or re-refer If additional sessions are required.
We have consulted with young people and designed a mental health and wellbeing youth group that will run as a pilot for the next year. We have designed a 6-month rolling program of activities that will then be repeated to promote a positive mental wellbeing. These groups teach young people new skills to manage their mental health better. The planning for this project started in January 2022 and launched in March 2022.
We have continued to work closely with statutory services and other providers through the collaborative meetings to identify gaps in provision and work to meet the needs of local children and young people.

Our work with the Primary Care Networks has strengthened our relationships with several local GP Surgeries and we continue to offer counselling and mental health & wellbeing sessions from these venues. We are working with PCN’s, health colleagues and other Bassetlaw place partners to look at meeting the needs of children and young people, guests from Ukraine and hosts to ensure a proactive and collaborative response is in place for when Ukrainian guests arrive in Bassetlaw.

Future Plans and Development
We are working in partnership with the Children and Young People’s Mental Health Alliance to coproduce a mental health toolkit for children and young people aged 10-25 to support them whilst they wait for their mental health appointments.
Social Prescribing Link Worker
The Children and Young People’s Social Prescribing Link Worker (SPLW) service is a role we developed and stabilised in collaboration with Retford and Villages Primary Care Network (PCN) in February 2021. The SPLW employs a non-medical holistic approach to provide children and young people aged 11-19 with one-to-one personalised support. This approach enables young people to take control of their wellbeing, live independently and improve their health outcomes, focusing on the wider determines of health.
Future Plans and Development
Due to the success of the Social Prescribing Link Worker role, we will be working Retford and Villages Primary Care Network to increase the workforce for this service. We plan to work with other PCN’s within Bassetlaw to develop this role further ensuring all Children and Young People are able to access support from a SPLW.
