Annual report 2023-2024 Enfield Island Youth Community Trust (EIYCT)

Presented locally as ‘ enact community’

Another annual report for enact and I am pleased to report that it has been a very good year. All the activities that the team organizes and make happen continues to amaze me and make Introduction me very proud of what they do. This is the enact annual report for the financial year ending in March 2024. The formal name of enact is “the Enfield Island Youth & Community Trust from our (EIYCT)” which was set up over twenty years ago by myself and key partners. We are immensely proud that, since then, we have supported hundreds of children, young people, Chairman and families from Enfield Lock and further afield.

The universal nature of our provision remains a core feature as it enables us to work with the broadest cohort of the community. It gives space for positive relationships to form between the team, the youngsters and the community. Targeted work can be identified and addressed in an environment where all youngsters and families are together irrespective of their individual circumstances. This model can be more difficult to fund but as a Board, we are determined that the whole community should have an opportunity to engage in positive activities.

Manju Jnagal (enact Team Leader) continues to impress us all - her talent, enthusiasm and capability are inspiring. Nathan, our trainee youth worker, works alongside Manju to run our youth provision. Natasha Greenway, leading on Children and Families, continues to impress us with the wide range of activities that she provides, always in a fun environment where youngsters can develop personally and be part of a wider cohort of friends. Our sessional workers are an integral part of the team and are crucial to our ability to operate although it is often a challenge to acquire high quality support staff. Also, we have volunteers without whom we would not be able to operate, their help and commitment is much appreciated. We always need more volunteers which can be difficult with the busy lives our families lead.

I reported last year that funding for 2023/24 was looking positive following our success with a 3 year National Lottery award and a 3 year EBT/Metaswitch award. Many thanks to both organisations. This financial security enabled the Trustees to look to the future and, at an “away day” in January 2024, a road map of the way forward was produced including adding to the youth worker team, recruiting additional Trustees with relevant experience and skills, making the full Trustee meetings bi-monthly, having small sub committees handling the necessary specific responsibilities of Trustees including HR, Operations, Safeguarding, Finance and Funding.

We were very fortunate in appointing Rebecca Sycamore to the board last year and her commitment and expertise has been key to the development of our future plans. This year we have been able to successfully recruit 3 more Trustees. Gary Armstrong is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at City University and has experience in running youth clubs. Hani Armstrong, a highly successful business entrepreneur, is committed to helping young people and families. Very recently we have been able to appoint Harry Rashid, a local businessman who is very impressed with enact and is keen to bring his experience to help wherever he can.

After 10 years as a Trustee, Doreen Willis has informed us she wishes to stand down at the end of 2024. Doreen has been an important Trustee who, as well as many other things, organized our very successful awards evenings, our Christmas lunches and was always present at events supporting our young people. The good news is she is very happy to attend enact events and hopes to continue to get invitations.

I would like to thank the new Trustees for their commitment to the future of enact. A very special thank you to Graham Jimpson who continues to give great support and handles the Safeguarding brief. Sam Ellis, from the Oasis Community Partnership, attends our meetings and makes an invaluable contribution and I am pleased that our partnership with OASIS continues to flourish and get stronger. We continue to get vital funding from our other sponsors including The Jack Petchey Foundation, LBE, Canal and River Trust and many others.

Michelle Kyprianou, who administers our accounts and writes the minutes of Trust meetings, and Josie Atkinson, who manages our database as well as her other work, are both a key part of enact and do a splendid job for us. Patrick Gray from the RSA Trust office continues to help and support the youth team and is instrumental in working with enact to bring to life the history of the local area. My final words are to not only thank once more the team, advisors to the board and Trustees for their hard work, but also to thank the RSA Trust, who have supported us since 2003 and in that time have given well over £1million to support the work of enact Gary Walker, EIYCT Chairman June 2024 a

Engaging deeply with the local community, we have continued to listen to their concerns, conducting consultations and gathering insights to better understand the challenges they face. Many families in this area struggle to afford extracurricular activities, and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis has Vision added pressures around safety, mental health, and general well-being. In response, we have expanded our initiatives to promote community & Purpose cohesion, creating inclusive projects for all age groups, both on-site and offsite, to foster stronger connections.

This year, we introduced food and nutrition programs to help alleviate some of the cost-of-living burdens, offering cooking workshops, outdoor activities, and social action projects. We have also supported our volunteers, empowering them to take active roles in more projects, and we have continued to develop our Young Leader program, providing more opportunities for young people to lead and grow. As practitioners, we remain committed to nurturing confidence, facilitating growth, and supporting the aspirations of our community members.

What projects have we been able to deliver:

It is with heartfelt gratitude that we thank those who have supported Enact. We extend our appreciation to our funders and partners, including The National Lottery (supporting us for three years through the "We Belong" fund from October 2023 to October 2025), Jack Petchey, Edmonton Eagles, 4-22 Foundation, the RSA Trust, Enfield Voluntary Action, Enfield Council, NHS, Lee Valley, and River Canal Trust, who have enabled us to reach even more of our community.

Feedback from a parent who volunteers at Kids Club and whose child recently transitioned from Junior Youth to Senior Youth:

“My child came home sore from all the exercise at youth today but was so proud to be at the top of the leader board! It started a conversation about exercise and resilience, and I love that my previously inactive child is now engaging in so much fitness—it’s fantastic for her! Even though we recently moved, she fought to keep going to youth, so now I pick her up twice a week. It’s a small compromise for something she loves so much!”

enact Youth - For youth aged 10-19 years. Project Summary April 2023- March 2024

Enact Youth: Empowering and Uniting Our Community Through Youth-Led Initiatives

With generous funding from The National Lottery, The RSA Trust, and Metaswitch, Enact Youth has expanded its programs to foster community cohesion and deepen connections with parents and the local community.

These resources have allowed us to develop meaningful initiatives that address the needs of young people and their families, creating an environment where youth can grow, lead, and connect. Our team of trained professionals, including JNC-qualified youth workers and Level 2 youth workers, along with dedicated DBS-checked adult volunteers, ensures that every young person is supported in a safe and nurturing environment. The skills and expertise of our staff play a critical role in creating spaces where young people can explore, learn, and thrive without fear of judgment. Our commitment to identifying and addressing community needs is ongoing. Through team debriefs, consultations with young people, and regular evaluation of our projects, we ensure that our work remains relevant and impactful. This year, our focus has been on developing leadership, promoting life skills, and fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility among young people. Here are some of our key highlights:

Life Skills Tuesday:

Every Tuesday, our Life Skills sessions promote personal, social, and emotional development, focusing on practical skills and teamwork. These sessions include cooking, team-building activities, sports, and boxing, offering young people a well-rounded experience that builds resilience, cooperation, and confidence. Through these activities, participants gain valuable life skills that will support their transition into adulthood. With thanks to Edmonton eagles for being part of this every Tuesday supporting the young people with their fitness.

Leadership and Responsibility Through Rota System:

A significant addition to our program has been the introduction of a rota system for cooking and cleaning during sessions, particularly in youth sessions. This system encourages a sense of responsibility and ownership, giving young people the opportunity to contribute to their community in meaningful ways. One youth member expressed, “The rota makes me feel like I’m part of the team, and I love learning to cook for everyone.” This hands-on experience has fostered pride, teamwork, and a strong sense of belonging among our young people.

Young Leaders Program:

In 2023-2024, 10 Junior and Senior Young Leaders successfully completed a structured leadership training program, which focused on building communication skills, confidence, and professional

experience. These young leaders have been invaluable as role models, mentoring their younger peers and supporting community projects. One participant shared, “I used to be really shy, but now I feel confident to speak up and help run the Kids Club activities.” The leadership skills gained have empowered these young leaders to take an active role in our community, fostering a cycle of mentorship and support. Looking ahead to 2024-2025, we plan to expand the program to include 16 young leaders (8 Junior and 8 Senior), further enhancing our peer mentoring system and cultivating a culture of active citizenship.

Transition to Adult Volunteering:

This year, we were proud to transition two Senior Young Leaders, including one with Special Educational Needs (SEN), into our adult volunteer program. These young adults now help support various projects, including the Coffee Morning, Kids Club, and the Allotment Project. This transition not only supports their development into adulthood but also integrates them into our adult volunteer community, where they participate in celebrations, training, and team planning sessions. This initiative has provided them with a meaningful pathway to remain engaged in the community and gain skills for the future.

Run Club:

An integral part of promoting both mental and physical well-being, our Run Club has been a resounding success. Since October 2023, young people and adult volunteers have collectively completed over 40 kilometres, building camaraderie, healthy habits, and a supportive community. “Running together before Youth Club has made us feel like a real team. It’s challenging, but we’re doing it together,” shared one participant. Points from the Run Club contribute to our Tuesday leaderboard,

where we celebrate a different young person every half-year, recognizing their achievements and commitment. Thanks to the support from Metaswitch, we have been able to reward young people with items that aid their personal growth, such as a laptop for one young person and a smart suit for another entering sixth form. This initiative has positively impacted behaviour at our sessions and continues to be a valued part of our program.

Strengthening Partnerships and Community Engagement:

Our partnerships with organisations like NHS North London Mental Health Trust have enriched our youth mental health initiatives. By working closely with healthcare providers, we have been able to offer targeted support and resources to young people facing mental health challenges.

Through these highlights and initiatives, Enact Youth has seen remarkable growth and positive outcomes, making a lasting impact on the young people we serve. As we move forward, we remain committed to providing safe, inclusive spaces where youth can thrive, build meaningful relationships, and contribute to a vibrant community on Enfield Island Village.

Children and Families Provisions

0–5-year-olds

2024 has brought some developments to the 0-5 years provision by introducing a monthly Story and Rhyme Time session in partnership with Enfield Libraries. This takes place in our local library on Enfield Island Village. This library is underused by local families and so enact has been welcomed in using this space to support the development of literacy among local families. Delivering these sessions in partnership with the library is bringing awareness and encouraging children and families to benefit from this local

resource. Tots stay and play group has provided a space for parents to connect and share their experiences of parenting with one another. It has acted as a place where friendships have been formed between parents and has been key in supporting family networks to grow and reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness. This year's consultations with parents have helped to identify needs and parents have told us wellbeing, parent support, friendships and connections is important to them. Through our community cohesion projects we have begun to address some of the needs identified.

a Kids Club Happiness and Serenity meet biweekly on Thursdays after school. Kids Club is a fun and nurturing club that welcomes local children to join in eNac activities which support self-confidence, and friendships. We also deliver a informal activities that support children in life skills and resilience, as well as sports and creative activities. We have six club values which teach the 4– 11 year olds ' wi children the importance of Honesty, Respect, Positive to learning, Positive to Others, Self-confidence, Celebrates Success.

Kids club has been a great place for children to explore feelings and emotions, children have been supported in how to better manage and express feelings, especially the difficult ones. A kids club is a place where children are supported to understand and respect one another's differences and celebrate the cultural diversity of their local community. A kids club is a place where children are supported through transition, offering an interactive and fun programme for those who are transitioning from primary school to secondary school and kids club to youth club.

As well as an opportunity to support children aged 4-11yrs kids club acts as a volunteer space for youth volunteers, AKA Young Leaders. Our young leaders are positive role models to the children and they themselves get to grow in self-confidence and develop new skills including leadership, through helping at the sessions with games and activities and planning.

Year 6 pupils successfully navigated the transition to secondary school through targeted activities that built their confidence, improved their communication skills, and taught them how to access support resources. As part of their final transition, the Year 6 pupils attended a Junior Youth Group session and attended an off-site visit, allowing them to gain a better understanding of what to expect in the next phase of their educational journey. “I was nervous about going to secondary school, but after these sessions, I feel like I know what to expect and where to go if I need help,” said one Year 6 participant.

Our community events have supported the 0-19s and families in coming together. These events have been key in facilitating all enact participants to experience community on a wider scale, outside of the attendance to their regular provisions. Through these events we have seen a greater coming together within the community and positive interaction between different generations. These events are important in bringing people with different backgrounds and experiences together. enact community events act as a

catalyst in strengthening the community through the sharing of common goals and a sense of belonging.

Community coffee mornings: These sessions have become an integral part of the we belong project, offering a space for both connection and reflection. The mornings have been strengthened by the active involvement of adult volunteers, many of whom have contributed not only their time but also their skills, such as preparing food, leading discussions, and even facilitating activities like nail painting and henna.

This has helped to nurture a deeper community bond. In April “We held our first community coffee morning... parents came along with their toddlers, and they enjoyed connecting with other adults whilst their children were looked after by Enact staff members.” The feedback from the participants has been overwhelmingly positive, with one parent saying, “I left with a renewed burst of energy and feeling relaxed!” We wanted to move away from offering support looking at childcare and move towards providing a platform for shared learning and peer support for families, where parents and adult volunteers alike can exchange ideas, discuss parenting challenges, and receive information on mental health and well-being. This initiative has not only fostered a sense of belonging but also empowered adult volunteers to take ownership of the sessions, with many starting to lead parts of the morning, such as greeting participants, facilitating discussions, planning and debriefing sessions and signpost where appropriate. Looking forward, the ongoing development of these mornings continues to be shaped by feedback from the community, ensuring that they remain responsive to the needs of the families and individuals involved.

Volunteering at enact is an integral part of our delivery of projects. enact has a mixture of volunteers that support all the projects this includes youth volunteers, adult volunteers and parent volunteers. enact volunteers have generously invested their time, energy and enthusiasm and have added value to the work the staff team do. volunteers receive training and supervision as part of their development and are celebrated for the effort and time they give.

They are recognised and awarded by Enfield Council when they reach 100 hours of volunteering. Enact volunteers were also celebrated and awarded in a joint community awards ceremony with Oasis Hadley.

Volunteers Story Time: Volunteers were trained to lead these sessions in partnership with Enfield Libraries, which provided an opportunity for parents and young children to connect through reading and

storytelling. This was a highly successful initiative, with parents taking turns reading books and leading songs, fostering early literacy and social connections. “These sessions really encourage us to read more with our kids at home,” shared one parent. This is led by the volunteer coordinator.
