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.

These outcomes tell a powerful story. Volunteering, in particular, has proven to be an essential
stepping stone for many participants. It offers them a low-pressure wayto re-engage with a
structured routine, develop new skills, and rebuild their confidence before moving into paid
work. For others, our programmes have reignited a desire to learn, leading to enrolment in
training and education opportunities that open long-term c8reer pathways.

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. Ayoung man confined to a wheelchair 8ged 17 following an undiagnosed
ear-infection helps with our admin 8nd collating course packs. Ayoung woman struggllng with
8nxiety and flnding it hard to teave the house is helplng on the youth pathways. M, who is al80

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

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.

The Henry Smith Charity
We are deeply grateful to the Henry Smith charity who provided £60,000 per year for three years
towards the running of our adult programmes in addition to £46,366 three years towards the
running of our youth programmes, development of our Pathways programme and support for youth
enrolment.
The Henrysmith Charity have been longterm projectfunders since 2016, and their support h88
been invaluable.
Face-to-face programmes
Over the three-ye8rfunding period, Safe New Futures has continued to refine and expand our
delivery model in response to participant needs, changes in funding, and lessons learned from
evaluation. One of the most significant developments has been the successful reintroduction
of face-to-face delivery after the COVID-19 pandemic.
While our online model has proven highly effective particularly in reaching those who are
geographically isolated or unable to travel we recognised that some individu81s struggled with
digital access or18cked the confidence to engage in a virtual setting. To address this, we
launched several in-per80n programmes in 2023 and 2024, which proved transformative for
both participants and staff.
Havant Face-to-Face Programme (November 2024)
Delivered in partnership with Havant Borough Council, this course was designed for over-25s
and those furthest from the labour market. Of the 12 partlCiP8nts enrolled:

Many reported incre8sed motivation and reduced 8nxietyfollowingthe structured, in-

This hybrid engagement (blending in-person and online) has demonstrated howwe can provlde
continuity of care and build on the confidence and routine deveLoped during the course.

1. Retention of the employees that companies want to keep due to heightened levels of

In response to the increasing level of social and phone anxiety among young people, we have
adapted our engagement methods to better meet their needs. This includes increased
communication with course participants through text messaging and Zoom calls, recognising
that many individuals find it challengingto engage via phone.
Additionally, we have enhanced our signposting to external services that offer further support.
One such example is Walk the Talk, a peer-to-peer support group specifically for individuals
experiencing social anxiety (W.a.!k trte_T_alk- Hom.e).
We are also developing signposting resources for digital tools, including mobile apps that
promote mindfulness and provide mental health support, helping participants access

Between October and December 2024:
987,OOOyoung people were NEET 13.4% of the age group.

310h of NEET young people cite poor mental health as the biggest barrier to finding work.
50% feel hopeless abouttheirfuture.
19% are applying for jobs daily without success.
This highlights the urgent need for innovative, early inteniention programmes that tackle mental

Return on investment., The financial case for supporting Safe New Futures
Our programme dovetails perfect with the Government'5 Strategy to Get Britain Working again and
we know that investment in preventative mental health programmes like Safe New Futures yields
significant savings for public services.
Research shows:
For every £1 invested in mental health prevention, the public sector saves £5-10 in reduced
health and social costs (Centre for Mental Health, 20221.
Supporting a young person into employment instead of remaining NEET can save the public
purse £69,000 per individual (Prince's Trust, 2022).
Effective mental health interventions reduce workplace absenteeism, improving economic
productivity.
