The Kings Arms Youth Project
Chairman's Report
for the Year Ended 31st March 2024
If you have ever watched 'Children in need,. you will have heard many heart-breaking stories, along with heroic
projects and inspiring individuals providing help? Apart from sheddin8 more than a few tears. did you wonder if
similar stories are playing out locally to you? I worked at our local secondary school for twenty year5 and realised
many were struggling with difficulties and some with pain and despair. Our local County Council provision for Youth
continued to be depleted until it disappeared completely. Who could respond to the need around us?
When a group of concerned individuals got together to plan how this need could be served. including many from the
local churches, a srnall youth provision run by slightly older volunteers wa5 formed. We Started opening two evening5
a week in Winton House, Petersfield, soaking up the pain of a generation who were rapidly becoming lost, some
rather antisocial, and some who had withdrawn to their bedroom.
In 2001 an official charity and limited company was formed, now 'The Kings Arms Youth Project,. Wonderful people in
the community came forward to make a difference. Gradually our volunteers became paid staff, starting with Bill
Pearce, then Hannah Turner, Tom Grant and for the last 12 years Caroline Aeschliman taking a professional lead.
We have now partnered with Alton Town Council, and the good citizens of Alton to open a 'Kin8s Arms - Alton,. When
the building in Alton was bein8 renovated I was amazed by the response of both trades and individuals to a DIY SOS.
The youth centre in Alton is beautiful and working in tandem with 'Kings Arms - Petersfield,. People in Alton have
shown their passlon for changing life outcomes for young people by volunteering and donating thelr time and money.
Youth work is demanding and my thanks and applause goes to the wonderful friends who are makln8 youth work
their career. Starting in October 2024, we have two of our staff team starting a Youth Work degree with Roehampton
University.
This year a local secondary school asked us to help them to get non attending year 11 pupils back into education.
Covld restrictions have damaged so many individuals that many feel unable to come out of their homes. I recently
attended the KA graduation for our first cohort in Petersfield who could not face school but found it posslble to attend
KA. The school senl teachers to the youth centre and they sat their exams with us. How amazln& what a rescuel We
are now welcomlng our next cohort, and starting a group in Alton as well. Local stories which will make you cry, lust
because lives have been turned around. If you are reading this and think, 'our town or villa8e needs thisl, we are more
than happy to assist you as you seek a way forward.
My thanks as ever to the volunteers who make this posslble, Trustees who bring thelr professlonal skills, those who
give regular office support, concerned individua15 attending sessions supporting youth workers, and our remarkable
youth workers whose every day could be filmed for 'Children in need,. Our CEO Caroline Aeschliman deserves special
recognition for the way she continues to Innovate and inltiate growth both in the scope of the provision we provide
and the quality of that provision.
Our great towns of Alton and Petersfield are 50 much richer because we have come together to make a difference.
The fact that we are approaching our twenty fifth year celebration is astonishing. My personal thanks go to everyone
who has helped us on this journey,
John Callaghan

After-school has continued to be popular and well attended throughout this period. As we had previously been often
full, and having to turn young people away we made the decision to split after-schools between 'lower school, and
'upper school, sessions. This ensured that everyone that we had contact with were able to access at least two
after-schools a week without one group dominating and excluding the other. This worked really well for the young
people.
As normal during the summer term we ran a transition 8roup for year 6's asking each primary school to nominate up
to three youn8 people that they were especially concerned about. The group met each week for a term wlth strong
attendance and at least four young people then returnin8 to attend a normal KA After School by September.
Sadly. we have been unable to grow our volunteer base for after-school durSn8 this period with only two sesslons per
week attractin8 a volunteer. We contlnue to try and recruit more volunteers going forward.
Highlights for the year have Included developln8 three long standin8 KA youn8 people to take on the role of Junior
volunteers and buildina a great stock of games and craft activities at the centre. Board games have become
particularly popular.

It has been a Ilvely year wlth numbers being consistently healthy. Our wonderful volunteers were Crucial in helping us
to 5LlStain provision for greater numbers. For instance, one volunteer, Sue, loyally facilitated cooking every Monday
making use of the kitchen space. Her consistency along with other volunteers was of great benefit to our attendees a5
it enabled connections to be formed and a sense of community built.
The summer transition days, where over 250-year 7 and 8 TPS students came through no.20'5 door, resulted in
steady stream of new young people accessing Petersfield After School Club in the following academic year. More than
200 dlfferent young people came along. Over three quarters of the young people who dropped in came several times
and could experlence KA as a safe space to unwind and engage with our youth workers and volunteers. Over a quarter
of the young people came in at least once a week and could say that KA was a home from home. About IS young
people coming almost daily at points. Some young people described After School as..
"A crazy family -good crazy that is" and "a place where I can be myself, I don't have to mask"
Whether we are distributing our attention and provision wisely among the young people we serve at After School is,
and Should be. an ongoing reflection.

This year has been a particularly busy and productive one seeing an increase in number5 attending our group and
one-to-one mentorin8 programmes in Alton. In Aspire and Believe Iself-esteem, p051tive choices and growing
aspirations) our young people have engaged well with our topics; they've baked flapjacks for our AGM, upcycled
furniture, reviewed their goals, assessed risk level and consequences and looked at the importance of sleep for
controlling emotions. Believe also helped us interview for a new youth worker.
By the end of the financial year we had three Thrive well-being groups, rangin8 from secondary to college age. Topic5
included trust, Sleep, emotional safety, overwhelming emotions and negative thoughts. We made fruit kebab5, looked
at how full our bottle was and surfed our emotion5 to the soundtrack of the Beach Boysl We have seen friendships
and support networks grow which extended outside of our sessions. Many of them joined us for our Christmas lunch,
where we played games, sang Christmas karaoke and talked about our Christmas traditions.
Our l.'I mentoring sessions have varied but covered topics such as going into care, death of a parent, risky behaviours,
consequences, being a young carer. struggling with emotions, goals and aspirations and believing in yourseSf. Across
all of our mentoring programmes, our young people continue to amaze us with their bravery, respect and trust in us.

We have had a wonderfully busy year within our mentoring services and have had the privilege to support a growing
number of young people with a range of challenges.
We began a new programme in September called Empower. We have partnered with a local school to support 7
young people who have not been able to attend school due to their emotional and mental health needs. The project IS
designed to mentor youn8 people alongside their formal pducation improvin8 resilience, wellbeing and aspirations,
empowerln8 them to see the value in education as a vehicle to fulfil thelr potentlal. Attendance levels have been hl8h
and attitudes towards learning is growlng daily as the youn8 people work towards thelr exams and they are growing
thelr own self-bellef and resilience.
Across our other group mentoring servlces we support young people with a range of needs such as.. poor mental
health, learning difficulties, behavioural challenges. anti-social behaviour, school disengagement. We mentor up to 30
young people throughout each week personali5ing our proBramme5 $0 that they support individual need5. We are
very pleased to say that we have seen transformational change in a number of our young people across our services.
'Believe has really helped me see that I can be better. I have stopped being disruptive at school and I really want to do
well in my exams and make something of myself"
Within our one-to-one mentoring service we have been able to support individuals with specific challenge5 and
continue to empower them to find solutions in managing their circumstances more effectivelv.
Our 10 week one to one confidential programme has positively impacted many of our young people's lives from
managing and processing loss, developing self-acceptance to building resilience against bullying behaviours.

Supersonics is, a5 ever a pleasure to be part of, the young people and their families really appreciate us running this
provision. The young people in both centres continue to thrive and this has been reflected this year by parents. We
have built up two great teams in Petersfield and Alton with really reliable volunteers and staff, meaning we can be
over our core numbers, supporting more young people in the community. We have run collaborative trips with the
young carers programme and parents have had the opportunity to attend several events where they can share their
experiences and expertise. Like our Young Carers programme we have increased our Junior Volunteers, which has
been invaluable, mostly young people from Churchers Senior school in Petersfield. doing their DofE.
We had one challenge this year, which helped us to rethink our induction process for the young people wanting to
come onto the programme, as well as helping us to make sure we had even better safety measures in place to help
the young people attend.

Unlte In Petersfield continued to offer an Important opportunity to allow youn8 people in the town to explore falth
and splrituality in a safe and fun envlronment. The make-up of this 8roup extended across the year groups but wlth a
majorlty in years 10 and 11. During thi5 period we undertook a Youth Alpha programme which had a deep impact on
those taking part with many young people expressing a renewed seriousness about their faith and a desire to explore
fvrlher. We followed Alpha with another programme called Stir which really helped to set the context of faith in
voung people's everyday lives.
Unite in Alton started in October 2023, following closely on the model established in Petersfield and with initial
support from two local churche5. The group began small with just three young people attending but grew from 2024
to what is now a regular group of 12-15 young people attendin8 each week. Unite in Alton also has a mixed age group
with the older youth taking on a young leadership role, leadin8 games and actlvilies.
A Christian Union has also contlnued In Eggars school with input from one teacher who has kindly allowed her
classroom to be used and who contributes also to the lunch club. This group attracts up to 9 young people weeklv.
Each session allows a brief period to catch up, pray for the week and to share a bible verse and worship son8.

This year has gone really well for our Young Carers programme, we have interacted with the local community to bring
activities and events to our Young Carers. We worked collaboratively with HYCA to run a Young Carers voice event.
which was attended by other Hampshire groups, giving our Young Carers the opportunity to meet others in similar
situations across a wider area and come together and have a voice.
Once again, we ran joint trips out with our Supersonics programme, giving our families several opportunities to enjov
positive tiffle together and a chance to share their experiences. Our junior volunteer scheme increased with several of
our older Young Carors, choosing to do their DofE with us. We were also able lo spend an evening with our volunteers.
celebrating them and encouraging new volunteers to join us.

Going forward we need to work c105ely with HYCA to ensure we have funding when the National Lottery runs out. We
also need to find a way to decrease the taxi costs. with the young carer5 attending the centre in Peter5field from
across East Hants. By the nature of the programme. it's difficult for families to transport their young people to club
and we need to think creatively about how to support them with this.

connectlon with her Youthlink role allows for valuable opportunities for sharing information, signposting and support
both for servlces available to KA and Its young people, and for funding avenues. Her encouragement for managers to
take an active role at the LCP has given opportunities to hlghli8ht services we offer as well as build relationships with
other agencies at a strate8ic level. This has included leading training and sharin8 best practice regarding EBSA, mental

Youthlink has a role in looking at opportunities for further development of youth services and this has been
particularly valuable as King's Arms explore5 a possible new centre in Horndean. We have been responding to requests
from District, and Parish Councils, the local secondary school and local churches. This is a time bound project but has
lots of potential to serve more young people.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
ReseThes policy
The Trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. It
has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the
charity should be between 3 and 6 months of the expenditure. The target 15 currently between £87,643 and £175.286.
The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity in the event of a drop in funding. The
Trustees are confident that at the current level of reserves that they would be able to continue the current activities
of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding.
Goln8 concern
The charity ha5 a policy of applying for grants and funds for 3 years or more whenever this is p055ible which supports
sustainability of the King's Arms. It also has a strong relationship with its local communities, and this 15 seen in ongoing
and regular support from individuals, businesses and organisations. Risk is mitigated by spreading fundraising across a
variety of avenues and using a number of the leadership team to promote their projetts with passion and
commilment. Budgets have been prepared for the next year showing cash flow projections and priorities for
fundraising.
FUTURE PLANS
Serylces
We continue to prioritlse our 4 maln areas of delivery - open access, mentoiin& targeted work and faith, looking for
an equal spread acros5 each of the 4 streams of work. We procure and priorit15e funding to ensure we can run these
core services. The King's Arms has been having some conversations about potential further 8eo8raphlcal development
of Its service5.
Personnel
The King's Arms continues to work well with varying teams both in and acr05S the centres. The staff are a verv
committed and enthuslastic group who are giving and generous. We were pleased to welcome David Loveless onto
official Kings Arms staff team in November 2023 to run with Larisa the new Empower programme. We are sorry to lose
All Vaughan and welcome Naomi Corlett who starts in Alton on the 15th April 2024.
Our fundraising team has been working hard but would always apprecSate more volunteers to help them. We continue
to prioritise volunteer recruitment in order to maintain the levels of provision we are offering. We have run some
volunteer events and continue to offer tours and conversations about how people can help.
The senior leadership team are Mandy May-martin, Jen Hammersley and Dom Clarke who each take on additional
roles of responsibility acr05S the whole of The King's Arms and can deputise in absence of the CEO.
Buildlngs
Our buildings continue to be 'warm spaces, where young people can come to an environment that is fun and safe and
'feels like home,. These warm spaces have been more challenging wlth increasing heating costs and Will Schofield has
given extra time and energy to review our carbon footprints, making improvernents to our buildings for health and
safety and ener£y requirements, and reduce costs wherever possible. We thank him for also putting in some
successful funding bids to improve the centres.
