Youth Reps on what Allsorts means to them Allsorts Youth Project matters to me because LGBTQ+ identities can often prove challenging, isolating, and confusing. These feelings are compounded when you are a young person: School life, relationships with family, and a limited independence can all prove challenging with respect to figuring out your queer identity. Allsorts is community, it gives me a space where | know that | won't be judged or looked down upon for who | am, which is extremely valuable especially with recent political developments. Allsorts matters to me because early in my transition, it was amazing to have a place full of other queer people in my area who could help me feel less alone. seeing the volunteers, happy and confident In their identities gave me hope for a future | was just starting to believe | could have, and that was ## irreplaceable. Projects such as Allsorts allow young people to express themselves in a safe environment; to meet other LGBTQ+ people; and to receive support from staff members who understand the struggles unique to LGBTQ+ youth. Furthermore, because the internet and the media are both driven by clicks, bigotry towards queer people is commonly amplified and can feel inescapable, despite being a minority attitude. Hence, the benefits of experiencing a joy-filled LGBTQ+ space every week cannot be overstated. Allsorts Youth Project matters to me becuase | know | can walk into a group and feel lighter. Unfortunately the world outside of those walls is an increasingly scary place for LGBT Q+ young people but Allsorts makes it feel less daunting. | Know they will always be just an email, phone call or game of Uno away and that eases any worries and makes me feel secure. Allsorts Youth Project has enabled me to meet so many wonderful people that brighten my day. Without Allsorts the world would be less colourful and would also probably be missing a substantial amount of glitter. **----- Start of picture text -----**

- M4 I - Chair of Trustees' Welcome - The last year has once again been another strong and successful year for Allsorts Youth Project. Despite the ever challenging political and economic environment in which we work, Allsorts has provided a range of much needed services to LGBT + young people, strengthened its core offer and delivered some excellent outcomes against the three-year strategic plan. This is all the more impressive given the increasing anti-LGBT narrative we have seen play out in the press and social media. The staff and volunteers at Allsorts have continued to work tirelessly to ensure young people have access to a safe space and a range of services which put inclusivity and safeguarding at the heart of everything that is done. The commitment and professionalism of all those at Allsorts has been nothing short of inspirational, particularly when many themselves have felt the personal impact of some of the negative social perspectives overtly on display around them. It is testimony to their personal commitment and resilience that they have continued to ensure young people and their families & carers have access to such valuable services at such an important time. One of the biggest challenges Allsorts has faced over the last 12 months has been financial. At a time when many small charities have struggled, Allsorts has managed to navigate a way forward, being agile and flexible in an ever changing and often unpredictable landscape. | would like to thank all those funders who have continued to support Allsorts over the year. Without support from the local authority, trusts & foundations and individual givers we would have been unable to offer the wide range of services that we have. | would also like to thank my colleagues on the board and the Senior Leadership team, whose continued due diligence has ensured we have maintained a stable financial position. | would like to pay particular thanks to the CEO Katie Vincent. This will be Katie’s last year - with Allsorts as she departs for new adventures. Katie’s boundless energy, charismatic leadership and sheer determination has helped ensure Allsorts has remained focused and continued to make progress despite the many challenges. Looking forward, | feel a sense of optimism and excitement as to what Allsorts can achieve in the coming year. As the Trustee Board expands, we invest in developing our services and go in search of a new CEO, | feel certain that Allsorts can continue to support and meet the needs of LGBT+ young people in a way that means they feel valued, understood and heard. There is still so much to do and Allsorts can play a key role in ensuring LGBT+ young people can truly feel themselves. Finally, | would just like to say it is a real privilege as Chair of Trustees to be part of that - journey and work with so many wonderful people, from our dedicated volunteers, to the young people and their families and carers who access our services.

CEO’s? Welcome
Allsorts is 25 years old! When James Newton & Jess Wood MBE founded Allsorts, in 1999,
we lived in a very different world - LGBT+ people did not have equal rights with the rest of the
population. We were not able to get married, it was illegal to support or talk about LGBT+
identities in schools under Section 28 and the Equality Act was more than a decade away.
We've come such a long way since then, but we know there's more to do.
The last few years have been a tremendous challenge for many LGBT+ children, young
people, and their families, particularly those who are part of the trans and non-binary
community, with lengthy waits to access healthcare, and mental health services alongside the
ongoing cost of living crisis.
Allsorts prides itself on listening to what children and young people need and want from
Allsorts, which is why we were delighted to be awarded the nationally recognised Investingin
Children Award ‘Member of the Year’ for the extensive ways Allsorts goes above and beyond
to involve children and young people's voices, both on a personal and organisational level,
whilst ensuring their voices are amplified and heard across the voluntary, statutory, health &
education sectors.
Building on what our young people and families tell us, a few of my favourite highlights from

Of course, none of what Allsorts has achieved this last financial year, or over the last 25 years, could have been achieved without the incredible support from our many funders, partners, fundraisers, allies, colleagues, supporters and Friends of Allsorts - we simply could not do what we do without you so THANK YOU! With Allsorts in such a strong & positive position the time has come for me to seek new opportunities having been at the project for over a decade, | will be stepping down from the CEO position in June 2024. It's been an utter joy & privilege to support, meet and advocate for so many children, young people and families over the years and to work with the incredible and experienced staff/ volunteer teams and dynamic board of trustees, who remain committed to Allsorts’ vision of seeing a world where LGBT+ children and young people are free to be themselves whilst challenging exclusion, prejudice and discrimination in all areas of their lives.

We looked at gender expression and identity, both gender dysphoria and gender euphoria and strategies to cope when it all feels too much. We also had a fun activity each session including laser tag, pottery painting, football and an escape room. Through these activities we saw friendships build and a real sense of community established. We had 6 young people attend the programme. These young people are all now in a group chat together on WhatsApp off their own backs and regularly talk. One young person made all of the other young people a friendship bracelet and handed them out at the end of the last session. since the project finished, three young people have reached out for 1:1 with one young person now attending Allsorts groups regularly since the programme finished. - 6 All the other young people and staff are really nice and have been nice to be around, connecting with people like me?” 19 Funded by NHS Sussex and developed and delivered by Allsorts Youth Project, the Evolve Programme Is a 4-week programme for trans young people aged 11-16 (year 7+) who are on the waiting list or being seen by the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), and their parents/carers. **----- Start of picture text -----**

Parents & Carers Group Peer Support Groups for parents/carers of trans, non-binary and/or gender-exploring children & young people Families can often feel overwhelmed, bewildered and isolated as they face what can be an incredibly challenging time when their child first comes out to them. Being able to connect with a community of empathic, understanding and knowledgeable people can make a world of difference, not only to the parent/carer but to the family as a whole. Allsorts continues to expand our Family Service over the past year. We have just recruited a new member for the Parents & Carers Service team who will start in December '24. We are currently providing an inperson group and an online group each month. We have developed new activities and themed sessions based on the feedback of parents/carers across the service, including more whole-family events and sessions which are designed to support young people who may experience some social isolation. We continue to run our Evolve project to support the families of young people on the NHS waiting list, and this year have run a special group for families who are not accessing mainstream or full time education. Evolve will continue to run throughout the next two years. 30 «or 14 (2%) 149 «8 Highlights In addition to expanding our existing Parents & Carers Service and providing more group sessions, our Parents & Carers Team were excited to be able to offer a range of new activities and ways to connect with other families. Some of the many highlights included; Lantern Making at Wakehurst Place, our annual Feast in the Forest and marching together at Pride. 25 121 support sessions for any family member of an LGBT+ child or young person Family 121 sessions for any family member of an LGBT+ young person in Sussex can be delivered in-person, online or by phone. They offer spaces to talk about challenges people may face surrounding their young person’s LGBT+ identities. This work compliments our youth services and centres positive outcomes for LGBT+ young people whilst supporting their wider networks. Since 2014, we have provided ad hoc 121 support for parents/carers. 2021-22 saw the piloting and development of the family 121 service in preparation for a full launch of the service in 2022-23. We currently have 340 parents & carers registered with the service, 80 of whom have joined in the last year, and we have run 45 groups or information sessions over the last year and supported parents and carers through 130 one-to-one sessions. one-to-one support young peonle — = 385sessions Gp 114supported -35r 66 We love that Allsorts can give us ‘normal’ experiences but in a very safe environment where everyone can be themselves. ’” 24 **----- Start of picture text -----**

To have helped amplify the thoughts, complaints, and praises of its service users has been a highly rewarding experience. By requiring me to both meet and work with unfamiliar faces, the Youth Rep role has improved my confidence and enriched my communication skills. It has also given me a better appreciation for the Allsorts team, and the behindthe-scenes work they do to make Allsorts a welcoming, youth-led charity. | think that the youth voice is important because we are the people of the future. Young people need to be encouraged and empowered to speak up and have their voice heard. The only way we can make change for the futures of LGBTQ+ young is if we start making progress now so hopefully it's easier for the young people yet to come. | have been able to work with the team to help improve the service. | have been able to be a voice for the young people in groups which has helped Allsorts to become a more youth led organisation. It's given me the responsibility of knowing that my input and choices have an impact on the rest of the people in the group who| really care about. It makes Allsorts feel more meaningful, knowing | am part of ‘guiding it in a way’ in terms of asking questions and having an input on decision making. | think youth voice is important because, especially in a company like Allsorts (whose goal is to help young people), it's vital to stay connected to the people youre working to support! Youth workers can't give people the help they need if they don't Know what that is, and listening to young people is the best way to find that out. **----- Start of picture text -----**

What have you / Youth Reps REP>| & @ done this year? The Youth Reps Programme spanning 2023-2024 has been embedded into the Youth Service's programme of opportunities. The opportunity for new young people to sign up as a Youth Rep was launched in the spring of 2024 and one new person has joined the ‘team’. Youth Reps have had the opportunity to participate in ‘learning development’ sessions, both online and in person (in Worthing and Brighton). Activities have included team building- for example a trip to Worthing Painting Pottery; preparing and planning ways to get feedback from young people in Allsorts groups, attending groups and speaking to the young people there which in turn has informed updating the wider team and the board of trustees.

The Youth Reps have worked really hard as a collective to fulfill the aims of being a communication loop’ between staff, young people and the Trustees! The staff who have collectively supported the Youth Reps and the Youth Rep programme have worked really well as a team to shape the development and successful delivery of it and where it is today! lt has been a proud year in regards to the achievements of the Youth Reps and the development of this project! 52 Volunteers are the backbone of Allsorts, and we couldn't do what we do without their support. ## Youth Service Volunteers **----- Start of picture text -----**
Since welcoming an additional seven dedicated individuals to the project in the
summer of 2023, our ten volunteers have continued to play an integral role in
consistently supporting our youth groups across Sussex. Their contributions
have also extended to supporting us to facilitate key events and initiatives
such as Pride’s, our AGM & Fun Day, the Summer Programme, Waiting Well
Programme, Youth Wise and more.
Allsorts youth service volunteers play a key role in supporting our sessions by
helping to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for our children and
young people. They assist in engaging participants in activities, help with the
setup and clean-up of the space, and contribute in many other meaningful
ways.

55 ## Parent & Carer Service Volunteers The Allsorts Parents & Carers Service is fortunate to have a fantastic team of five volunteers who have enriched our spaces by offering new families a warm welcome, deep empathy and the hope and comfort that only personal experience can provide. They also support us with outreach at Trans Pride, offer their skills to help us run crafting mornings and support us in relevant recruitment processes. The essence of the Parents & Carers Service is community and peer support, and our volunteers have played a vital role in fostering and nurturing our shared spaces. We extend a heartfelt thanks to each and every one of our Youth service and Parent & Carer’s Service volunteers for their invaluable contributions. ®® Volunteering for Allsorts’ Family Service has been incredibly rewarding. | appreciate the training and chance to draw on my own experiences to help other families support their LGBT+ young person”? volunteers rf \AN volunteering hours 15 $92 380 & 6@ | am very proud to be an Allsorts volunteer. | enjoy supporting our incredible Youth Support Workers, meeting all the young people, and helping to navigate all social settings with them. I have never been part of something where | have felt so welcome so quickly, and if | can even be a small part of the positivity in these young people’s lives then I have achieved great things 99 54 - Our inclusion pledge Allsorts Youth Project is committed to creating an organisation that is inclusive, safe, understanding and built by the ideas and experiences of our wonderfully diverse LGBT+ community. By making sure we listen to you, the young people and families at Allsorts, we can make sure that our services are tailored to meet your needs, and feel welcoming and fun for everyone. We do not claim to be all-knowing experts of how LGBT+ identities intersect and interact with other identities or experiences. But, we are growing and striving to create spaces that all LGBT+ children, young people and their families, feel safe, listened to and supported in. Our pledge to you is that we will; Keep Learning We will keep learning and be open to change. As an employer, Allsorts provides mandatory training for our team in a wide range of areas surrounding diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB). We articulate clearly to staff, volunteers and trustees that we are building a culture that challenges and changes practices to ensure we are as accessible as possible to all LGBT+ people, and we encourage feedback on these topics across the project at all times. Strive for Change We pledge to put our learning into practice as we strive for change. Allsorts’ understanding of DEIB is a continuous process that needs conscious attention. We will provide discussion sessions for staff, volunteers and trustees to reflect on their learnings and professional experiences within Allsorts’ spaces to ensure learnings are contextualised, shared and built upon.We know that societally and organisationally we have a long way to go, but we are committed to our continued learning and will to continue to develop Spaces in which all LGBT+ children, young people, families, staff, volunteers and trustees feel welcome, listened to, and free to be themselves. For more information on our inclusion pledge, as well as our anti-racism statement, visit ~~allsortsyouth.org.uk/inclusionpledge~~ 55 ## Pride Season The summer of 2023 saw Allsorts attending a number of Prides across Sussex.

We have continued to be blown away by the ongoing and growing Support we have seen from our community of generous monthly donors. The Friends of Allsorts are our incredible supporters who help support our services us through regular donations. In return, we send quarterly updates, specifically for the Friends of Allsorts, including highlights and exclusive ‘behind the scenes’ videos. On average, every month last year brought with it ‘(an 20 £450 (ce }) } Friends of y 4 In monthly Allsorts donations With a total £5,400 raised by the Friends of Allsorts by the end of the year, we could not be happier to report that our community of regular donors has continued to grow ever since. If you would like to become a Friend of Allsorts and start contributing to Allsorts' work monthly, ~~please set up your monthly donation here.~~ 4S - Draft Financial Statement from the Treasurer This has been a year of consolidation and investment for Allsorts Youth Project. Although the rate of inflation has declined, the macro-economic conditions continued to be difficult, with cost of living still a concern, a tight labour market and continued growth stagnation. Allsorts navigated through these challenging times and is able to present a solid financial situation, which continues in the year 2024-25. The financial strategy for this year was to use some of the reserves we had. These were too high and started becoming a hindrance when targeting possible donors. For this reason, we felt we could increase people's salaries to help with the cost of living crisis, even if this was going to create a loss at year end. We also increased the spend on staff training, to ensure continued professional development and improved services. From an economic point of view the project incurred a £47,000 net loss. This was higher than what we had originally budgeted, but still well within the capabilities allowed to us by our reserves. Gross income came under budget especially from training activities and main grants. However, the overall income at £722,000 was still in line (and slightly higher) than the one from the previous financial year. Almost 90% of revenue came from grants and other charitable activities. The contribution from training decreased, mainly driven by schools cutting their budget on training, partly due to financial reasons, partly due to a more hostile political environment. For these reasons, our strategy of looking for corporate revenue streams for training becomes even more important in the new financial year. Allsorts continued to receive support from the local authorities of Brighton & Hove, West Sussex, East Sussex and NHS Sussex Integrated Care Boards (ICB), which is very positive in the current climate where LGBT+ issues are often objects of polarised discussion. Costs increased by 10%, which was driven mainly by increased costs of services and higher salaries. However, the costs did not grow as much as we budgeted, falling 4% below what was forecasted. This was mainly driven by some staff leaving the team towards the end of the financial year. As expected, the biggest expense line is salaries. This makes up for about 80% of the total expenditure and grew by about 14% year on year. The other two notable cost lines are office costs and group activities. From a financial perspective, the balance sheet is very solid. Funds declined in line with our financial strategy for the year from £364,000 to £316,000. To give more flexibility of choice, we worked at using and or reclassifying our restricted funds to have more unrestricted funds and | am pleased to say that all reserves at the end of the past financial year were unrestricted. | wanted to close these remarks by thanking all our funders, from the large organisational - funders, to small businesses and to individual donors. | also wanted to thank our bookkeeper, Lorraine Heaysman, and our accountants, F1 CRT Limited. Thank you very much for your continued commitment in the work that Allsorts does to support young LGBT+ people and their families in Sussex. Last but not least, | wanted to thank Katie who was CEO of Allsorts through the past financial year. Now my thanks go to BilliJean for stepping into the role of interim CEO and to the entire Allsorts Team for doing a great job and showing great results.
