NEWFUTURES Safe New Futures Annual report April 2024- March 2025 Needs analysls. Society is facing epidemic levels of emotional and behavioural difficulties. Post pandemic, this need has spiralled with 16-29-year-olds are twice as likely to be chronically lonely than over 70s, and it affects their mental health and levels of anxiety in particular. Southampton, Portsmouth City Council and Hampshire County Councils reported in October 2023, that 25% of school age children in Hampshire were not attending school which is very much a post- pandemic trend and clearly this plays out in children's ability to attend or engage with post school education or trainin8. Hampshire group of colleges at the same time said that 50% of students were on the Mental Health at risk register and are on reduced timetables or struggling to engage. This of course will have a knock-on effect on their financial independence and ability to contribute to the economic health of the country. The solutlon Underlying these issues are core beliefs including feelings of worthlessness, no hope of change, no sense of purpose, and lack of belonging. These beliefs must be addressed to overcome people's barrier5. Change in thinking leads to change in behaviour. The New Futures course has been specially designed for this. It is a vocational Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ICBT) based course. Vocational elements include identifying strengths, contribution, goa I setting and intrinsic motivation. CBT elements include overcoming barriers, healthy thinking and being empowered. The course elements include relatedness, group work and being treated with dignity. The new Futures programmes result in a signif ica nt increase in self-efFicacy, confidence and resi lience which is the key to long term change of behaviour.

Safe New Futures Annual report Aprll 2024- March 2025 NEWFUTURES Even for those not currently able to return to the workforce, our interventions have helped participants better understand their barriers, seek appropriate support, and reduce isolation and hopelessness. We see this in those recorded as "signed off sick many of whom have developed stronger coping mechanisms and clearer plans forfuture recovery and reintegration. We continue to work closely with job centres, local colleges, community referrers and employers to ensure that the supportwe provide is both holistic and outcome focused. Volunteers Volunteers, all of whom are former course participants continue to be a cornerstone of our organisation. Many of our current volunteers are former participants, offering 8 relatable and empathetic perspective that enriches our delivery. Amongthem is a neurodiverse wom8n who carried out in-house training on neurodiversity for the team based on her lived experience. Another brings with her a vast knowledge of social work and the charity sector.

NEWFUTURES Safe New Futures Annual report April 2024- March 2025 Organisational Aim 1: Ensure a broad and balance portfolio of funding sources to support the charity The generous support from the National Lottery Community Fund Garfield Weston Foundation. has been instrumental in en8blingSafe New Futures to maintain stability, adapt our delivery model, and invest in ourteam and infrastructure overthe past three years. Core funding has allowed us to respond to increasing demand. secure match funding, and demonstrate cred ibility to other potential f unders. In 2024-25, we successfully diversified our income sources while maintaining a strong financial foundation. Our total income for the year was £323,329 reflecting a healthy mix of core funding, project gr8nts and some local authority support. This ha8 enabled us to maintain programme delivery across Hampshire and Surrey, whlle investing in organis8tlonal development, research, and new service areas. In 2023 we implemented newfinancl81 management practices to optimise our resource allocation, ensuringthat every pound is spent effectively. The transparency and accountability In ourfinancial oper8tions have strengthened the trust of our stakeholders and funders, setting solid foundation for future growth. NHS Youth Funding We are thrilled to have secured fundingforthree youth courses via an NHS contract. The Integrated C8re Board who commi89ioned us and have commented on the depth of our reporting and the excellence of our outcomes. We complement ment81 health services such as NHS and othertalkingtherapies as participants below explain: "ltre been in groups like this b8fore and didn't think I'dgetanything out ofit. I came 81ong v8ry closed off 8nd stayed muted. After the first week, there was 8 big change. Even if you think you've had this help, it's not the s8me. It has been a lot more positlV8 on this course- we focused on what W8 can do rather than what we can't." MD (27) "Forme, it's the fact that it's not in person, you c8n be more comfortable and open. 88inggiven coping mech8nisms exp8Cts a quick fix but this group gets into the underst8nding of whyyou feel a certain w8yso you oan come up with yourown copingmechanisms. You can work on that instead of just being told what to do and expecting it to work." CJ (25J Following a meeting with the Senior Delivery Manager (Mental Health, Learning Disabilities and Autism-Hampshire) it seems likely that funding permitting, Safe New Futures is in a good position to secure another NHS youth contract.
