**Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 5 May 2022 Period start date To 4 May 2023 Period end date Charity name: Abingdon DAMASCUS Youth Project** **Charity registration number: 1098966** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP
reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the
purposes of the charity
as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|_To promote the development of the personal,_
_social & educational potential of all young people_
_between the ages of 11 and 18, and up to 25_
_years where there are special circumstances,_
_who live in the area encompassed by Vale of_
_White Horse and South Oxfordshire District_
_Councils and in particular those who are_
_disadvantaged by adverse social conditions._
Our current work is focussed on the rural
Oxfordshire villages of Drayton, Appleford,
Milton, Sutton Courtenay, and Steventon
(DAMASCUS) and the neighbouring Abingdon
town. We also engage and support young people
through the Abingdon and Didcot secondary
schools to synergise the school and community
support.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to
those purposes for the
public benefit, in
particular, the activities,
projects or services
identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17
and 1.19|Underpinning all our work is the proven belief that
young people need to be empowered by positive
engagement,**_within their_**communities, as it
fosters a shared sense of belonging,
commonality of purpose, and develops their
ability to effect change, so that they can make a
difference in their personal lives and in the
communities in which they live. Intergenerational
activities led by young people are an integral part
of developing their self-efficacy. Alongside, we
run youth-centred activities that provide bespoke
early intervention to promote positive mental
health through adolescence and build the
resilience of all young people but particularly
those who are vulnerable to exploitation.
We undertake:
• _Grassroots Street Work_: builds trusting
relationships on young people’s terms and
space; fosters community engagement; early
needs analyses to design bespoke preventative
interventions.
• _One to one mentoring_: provides a trusting and
non-judgemental space to explore personal| 1 |||drivers; owning actions; taking responsibility;
support with adverse life experiences.
• _Weekly open access social drop ins_in the
villages and Abingdon: spaces with activities to
promote, responsible and respectful social
interactions.
• _Issue-based focused group work_: empowering
to make informed decisions; positive street
conversations.
• _Well-being_: young people led sports, arts,
music projects.
• _Train Young Community Leaders_: targets
disengaged ‘movers and shakers’ so that their
appetite for peer adoration is sated with
responsible and positive role modelling.
• _Job/study/training/money management_support.
• _Inter-generational community_events which
increase cohesion and build strong supportive
communities.
• _School and multi-agency links_: holistic support
for young people. As an AQA-accredited centre
we award certificates recognized by employers.
• _Regular sports, arts, and music fun activities_to
raise confidence and self-esteem.
• _Young people led participation_in county
workshops and forum, presentations at project
AGM, parish council meetings etc.
Work takes place in open community
spaces/buildings, and occasionally schools.
Where no indoor space is available, we use our
mobile drop-in gazebo.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees
have had regard to the
guidance issued by the
Charity Commission on
public benefit|Para 1.18|In planning our activities for the year, the trustees
have given due regard to the Charity
Commission’s guidance on public benefit in
deciding what charitable activities the charity
should undertake and they are evidenced to
show achievement of objectives.
Recognising that ‘one size does not fit all’, the
benefits are delivered through diverse but holistic
and empowering approaches to young people
within their communities and working in
partnership with other statutory and voluntary
bodies that are also involved in the lives of our
young people.
Staff are inducted in policies and procedures and
all activities are risk assessed. Safeguarding is
high on our agenda with a constantly reviewed
culture of vigilance.
Although the primary beneficiaries are young
people, the wider community also benefits
through our intergenerational community
activities as it helps to build cohesive
communities. The elderly feel less isolated as
young people organise social activities for them.| 2 |**Additional information (optional)**

charity also has a trustee who is the

main achievements
of the charity,
identifying the
difference the
charity’s work has
made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any
wider benefits to
society as a whole.|Para 1.20|In this section we give examples, from the reporting
year, for the strands of work described above.
Our core work in meeting the needs of young people
is informed by our regular engagement with young
people through our street and gazebo sessions and
2022/23 was no exception.
**Street work and Gazebo Sessions**
These take place
through the year
in all the places in
which we work,
even on cold dark
winter evenings.
It is in these spaces we pick up key topical issues that
form the basis of group workshops. A recurrent issue
is young people’s risk-taking (including online)
behaviour and substance misuse and hence
workshops around protective behaviours and decision
making are ongoing. In response to the festival
season and the increase in alcohol consumption that
staff had identified, we created “SAFE-FEST”
workshops around staying safe at music festivals.
Some of the activities on offer covered topics such as:
•Alcohol & other drugs
•Emergency first & the recovery position
•Sexual health
•General wellbeing & safety (Protective behaviours)
All young people with whom we worked have reported
an increased sense in self-awareness, and of
belonging within their communities which has had a

We progressed from working with young people who did not consider themselves part of a community, let alone changemakers within it - to working with a group of young people that recognised themselves as the experts of their own experiences and individuals that possessed a skill set to contribute to social action and positive social transformation. It culminated in: **Election Fever** – polling booths were delivered early to the village halls for the May 2023 local elections. This provided an opportunity for young people to hold their own election – there was a good turnout! It was an election based AR) around choosing the best polices on topics such as school uniform, permission to use toilet during lessons (a hot current topic), mental health and the environment. **----- Start of picture text -----**

5 **Intergenerational Activities** We continued our suite of intergenerational activities in 2022/23. 2022 was the Platinum Jubilee of the late Queen Elizabeth II and all the communities in which we have a presence, held events in the summer, so it was a wonderful opportunity for young people to take a lead in the following: • DAMASCUS Jubilee Hobby Horse Derby • Family Races at a village fete • Jubilee Bingo for the elderly • Senior Citizens’ Tea party • Intergenerational Quiz It offered a chance to meet with families and new young people that had recently moved in to the communities in the new housing developments.

CAF Bank Limited (CAF Bank Limited is a
subsidiary of the Charities Aid Foundation).
The trustees have a policy of maintaining a
reserve to enable the recruitment and
retention of proficient and credible youth
workers in the event that no new income is
received in the year. Thus, in setting a
level of reserve trustees have regard to the
stability of employment to staff over at least
a one-year period as at the core of our
work is building strong and trusting
relationships with young people. The
trustees are also aware of the elapsed time
from applying for a long-term grant to the
award of such a grant and the need to
ensure that there are sufficient finances to
keep the project going in the interim.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|On 4th May 2023, the charity held total

Young people make an input into the
services through the development of young
community leaders. Positive
intergenerational engagement is key to
community cohesion which in turn provides
sustainable support to young people within
their communities and thus partnership
working is integral to the charity’s work.
