MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR OF THE S PINTER YOltrH PROJECT
It has been a challenging year, however, l am pleased to say that 5 Pinter Youth Project has continued
to adapt, diversify, and grow stronger desplte the challenges; the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, as well as
a surge in demand for our services due to economic hardships faced by the population.
We are incredibly proud to announce that as part of SPYP'5 goal to support CAYP at all times, the S Pinter
Youth Project has addressed the new challenges that have come up and given CAYP additional support
as well as to their families.
S Plnter Youth Project was founded on the bellef that every child deserves a better future.
We have a bold am bitlon.. a world in which all children thrive, have the cha nce to learn, develop and
progress, and have better life opportunities.
Besides all of our out of school projects, our Heart 2 Heart element which opened in 2017 with a focus
on CAYP with a sibling or parent struggling with cancer or chronic illness, following Covid-19 it also
included CAYP struggllng wlth mental illness, themselves or a family member and those most affected
by Covid-19. Working closely with local famlly welfare agencies our nu mber of fam ilies doubled from
20 families to over 40 familles Including 280 CAYP. In addition to getting priority free places in the
Lifestyles term tlme after school club and Holiday playschemes, these children benefitted from goody
and activity ham pers, parties and trips. Slnce, the rising costs of living Im pacted children's lives, we also
included another 40 families 1265 CAYP) onto our Heart 2 Heart data base and started our food
distribution element. They get food vouchers during holiday periods to enable them to feed their
families when there is no school.
We also introduced support groups to develop and strengthen CAYP'S stamina and reduce their stress
and anxiety caused by the anti-semitism going on and the increasing tension around us.
Our Organisation
Despite the rising costs and the many challenges faced, we were able to achieve some extraordinary
results
many of which are documented in this report. For that I want to pay tribute to the
professionalism, commitment and resolve of our extraordinary people. They went way beyond the call
ofduty.
Our fundraising and financials Surpassed expectations, not least thanks to the Government support of
funder5 such as Young Hackney, YOF, Hackney Community Partnership, Reaching Communities and our
many donors from Trusts & Foundations. Oursmooth transition to getting back to normalityand settling
the CAYP back to the new norm, took enormou5 amount of hard work and support from staff and
volunteers across the organisation.
As ever, we were able to draw on the energy, enthusiasm and backing of our supporters, volunteers and
partners. We were privileged to be able to do so.

A group of 35 YP aged 8-12 worked for 12-weeks with q ualified thera pists and designers to script and
