Having recognised the need for a permanent place for children and young people to play in the area, they set about finding the ideal site and funding. With the help of funding from central government and a lot of hard work, work on Garston Adventure Playground began in 1978. In 1980 HRH The Duke of Edinburgh officially opened the playground. Our Values - ❖ The rights of all children to play and free association - ❖ To be consulted and listened to - ❖ The right to fair and equal treatment and equality of opportunity - ❖ The right to freedom from oppression and discrimination - ❖ To have free, local play provision - ❖ The promotion of independence and autonomy of all children This year we were awarded Best Youth & Play Development Venue 2022. ## **Staff** Carmel Moran – F/t Senior Playworker Pippa Taylor – Art & Craft Playworker Rachael Hannington – Community Playworker James Devine - Playworker Mark Moran – Seconded from Liverpool City Council Targeted Services ## Detached Youthwork Team – Kelly Unsworth, Sandra Riley & Kerry Laverty Sadly, we said Goodbye to Pippa in March 2023 who was moving on to a new chapter in her life. ## **Volunteers** Thank You to all our volunteers, without them we wouldn’t be able to offer all the services we do and provide the range of activities and opportunities for the children and young people. This year volunteers have helped with the Jubilee Events, providing support with maintenance, and installation of equipment, attended training, community clean ups, cooking, supporting our play and youth workers and accompanied children and young people on days out. GARSTON ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND TRUSTEES REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023 These include: Marie Forde, Victor Adams, Aimee Moyden, Carla Moran, Katie Deary, Margie Hamill, Peter Chisell, Michelle Hammond, Sandy Hill, Sophie Gillow, Angela Hancock, Prudentia Education, South Liverpool Homes and all the young volunteers. ## **Training** Staff and volunteers have completed the following training:Food Safety Paediatric First Aid UN - Children’s Rights Health & Safety Safeguarding Cycle Leadership Child Sexual Exploitation (update) ## **Finance** This financial year we have gained support from various trusts, charitable foundations, organisations and business’s which include the following: Mayoral Neighbourhood Fund Liverpool City Council – Youth & Play Grant South Liverpool Homes – Paid our Fareshare Membership. Five for Families for administrating the Youth & Play Grant funding for Speke/Garston Consortium. Projects do regularly run from one year to the next and it is the norm for them to overlap in our accounting year. We now have a defibrillator installed on the playground thanks to one of our local Councillors. Christmas Bingo fundraised £618.00 a huge thank you to all those who donated prizes and those who attended. Police Commissioner’s Fund – Have agreed to fund the continuation of our Detached Youth Work Sessions Alleyway Environmental Project – There are still funds available for residents to get involved. This year we have been working with Five Susan Roberts – Five for Families, consulting with young people, Dai Gwynne (Architect) & Jon Newman (Quantity Surveyor) who kindly offered their services free of charge to put together a bid, and young people making a video to support the application to the Youth Investment Fund for a Capital Project, which would entail a refurbishment of our building and make it fit for purpose in the 21[st] Century. A new extension will see our kitchen moved and expanded to make it more functionable with us providing more and more cooking activities and meals for children, young people and families. And refurbish our multi-purpose games pitch and some fitness equipment. Which will allow us to increase our offer of activities and opportunities for young people 11-16 years. This has now been submitted and we wait the outcome. Thanks to Children in Need who awarded us £30,000 in 2022 over a 3-year period for our Arts & Crafts Playworker. To continue to provide a safe and enjoyable space for young people to take part in fun art and craft activities, have access to new experiences and build positive relationships. They will be able to gain knowledge and skills in different art forms as well as be encouraged in their own style and talent. GARSTON ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND TRUSTEES REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023 ## **PH Holt Project** “I think twice now before downloading any apps” Young Person The first phase of this project went brilliantly but as we all know covid-19 happened and we had to put this on hold for some time. Once things were starting to get back to normal we re-started the project. This was a slow process as quite a few of our volunteers and some young people had stopped accessing the playground now. Either some were classed as vulnerable and had to shield or others had got older and moved on. We contacted a Social Landlord and organized a community action day with their employees this gave us the start we needed. They came in and helped carry out some much-needed maintenance. Facilitating The Alleyway Project which was an Environmental project this entailed the surrounding streets of the playground cleaning up their alleyways, recycling materials creating seating, planters and making them places where residents can get together. Over 500 residents got involved. Young people helped make hanging baskets, planter boxes and carrying compost bags to elderly residents. Sometime had passed now and slowly we were able to replenish our volunteers. We held a couple more community days, cleaned and did some maintenance around the playground. We also installed a climbing frame, bridge, seesaw and cantilever swing. Young people got involved out in the community, teaming up with local residents cleaning up the streets and planting bulbs around trees in the local area. Volunteers came together to help support local families and residents at Christmas. Having secured funding with local Councillors. Our team of volunteers helped put together food hampers, wrap toys and pyjamas for them and then deliver them around the community. 2 parents completed a Food Safety Course. 15 young people gained AQA accreditations, many achieving more than one. 2 young people have enrolled to become Young Inspectors. 56 families received xmas dinner 14 xmas Family hampers delivered This project achieved so much more than we imagined, there is still probably lots of things that we haven’t included. It enabled us to access other funding and other projects developed because of this work. The project will finish in June 2023. ## **Jubilee - Awards for All** This year the Queen celebrated her Platinum Jubilee. We were awarded a grant from Awards for All to celebrate this event. Consultation events took place with the local community to decide how we should celebrate. We found that many of the elderly residents weren’t too keen after covid-19 socialising with people outside their peer group and although they loved the idea, did say they wouldn’t attend. This was a dilemma for us, we really wanted them to be part of these celebrations. The results were in. In was decided on 3 events, one in a local park, one on the playground and the third one would see us support the local social club who every Monday had bingo and activities for the elderly residents so that they could have their own celebrations. GARSTON ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND TRUSTEES REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023 Volunteers needed to be recruited and an itinerary drawn up. Advertising on social media and using the playground as a platform for engagement we set about pulling things together. 30 volunteers recruited, organisations contacted to see if they wanted to be part of these celebrations, equipment and materials ordered. Let the Party’s Begin . Over 700 people attended events. 600 hours of volunteering completed. Access to information and support. 150 food parcels given to local residents. Local parks cleaned up “Because the workers have given me responsibilities, I have learnt new skills, and has helped me decide what I want to do in the future”. “Fantastic day the whole family have thoroughly enjoyed the event”. ## **Sport 4 All – A4All** This project was aimed at children, young people aged 6-16 yrs and families. It will enable them to have free access to various sports and physical activities during a 12-month period. - Young people not being able to participate in activities because of financial restriction. - • Targeted supported for those who need it most. - • Increasing the amount of time young people engage in physical activity thus improving their health & wellbeing. - Children and young people having fun. - Improve overall health and fitness and help children maintain a healthy weight to support the prevention of childhood obesity. - • Build confidence and improve social skills. - • Give them the opportunity to learn new skills and teaches them important life skills. - • Inspire positivity and encourages tolerance. We were able to adapt the project to meet the needs of the young people, participation was key to its success. Part of the project was to enable young people to have access to the local Lifestyle Centre by providing free gym passes. Initially the take-up was good with over 20 young people attending the induction sessions. But after they hardly attended. We altered the project slightly and hired the sports hall at Lifestyles and our Youth Worker who is a personal trainer and sports coach attended. This made a huge difference, each week more and more attended. Family swim sessions were offered, and we hired the local swimming baths during the mornings, each session had over 20 families attend. Young people enjoyed canoe, paddle boarding and kayaking at Merseysport on the Albert Dock. One-to-one football coaching, football skills provided by Mr Silky skills, Badminton sessions etc. Linking in with LFC Foundation providing additional sessions. The project was a huge success and will continue to run into 2023. GARSTON ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND TRUSTEES REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023 “The venny is a godsend to me, my son has SEN and the playground gives him the space he needs, access to opportunities and activities. And supports me when I need a friend and maybe some advice” Parent ## **Activities** There are too many to list. Here is a snapshot: We have delivered a **H** oliday **A** ctivity and **F** ood programme during school holidays, Detached Youth Work. Workshops during Anti-bullying week – how to recognise bullying, prevention and supporting friends. Mental Health Awareness Display, workshops and activities Celebrated Black History Month, International Women’s Day, Pride etc Song writing and music production. Visit to Men’s World Gymnastics Final at M & S Arena Themed Saturdays, boxing fitness sessions, Stay & Play on a Friday afternoon for parents with under 5’s Supported the xmas toy appeal with local Councillor Distributed Winter coats to children and young people. Attended young people’s Question time in the Town Hall. “I have some qualifications that I can put on my cv before I even take my exams” Young person Community Clean ups. Supported families with signposting, applying for school bus passes, school uniforms, DLA forms etc. Sports, arts & crafts, healthy food workshops, music, dance & drama, climbing, kayaking & paddleboarding, dj workshops, visits from various artists and animals. Families received food vouchers or hampers. The list goes on. ## **Family Camp** Feedback from our Easter Playscheme was that families would love to have a holiday with their children but with a number of them not being able to afford it or never had the confidence to go alone with the children, being a single parent. We decided to have a family camp. This was to take place in Wrexham in Wales during the Summer holidays, and we would be camping. A scary thought for some as they had never been camping before. Staff went early to set up the camp. We had all the equipment we needed, or we thought we did. A Last-minute rush to get a new tent. Volunteers recruited to drive families to Wales. Families took turns cooking, evenings sorted, bingo, talent show, toasted marshmallows on a fire and hot chocolate. Daytime we would visit various destinations throughout Wales. The best day voted by far was a walk down a stream and through woods, getting back to nature, they would have spent all day there had we not had to get back for dinner. A fantastic weekend enjoyed by all, parents enjoyed spending quality time with their children and the children loved all the new experiences, being with their friends and creating lasting memories. ## **“I’ve had the best time ever” – Young person at Residential.** A huge thank you to Staff, Volunteers and all those we have worked with during this past year.
