**November 1st 2019-31st October 2020** 

## **Bridges Hull Annual Report** 

The new financial year began with six months left to run of a three year (2+1) contract with Hull City Council to deliver Targeted Youth Services in the North Bransholme area of Hull. A new bid had been submitted to the council for a 5 year tender to deliver Targeted Early Help Youth Provision and we were awarded this new contract to begin on April 1st 2020. 

In November 2019 we had a full complement of staff – three trustees, a manager, an administrator / financial administrator, a senior youth worker, a lead youth worker, three youth support workers and a cook. We were running six youth clubs per week, running weekly swimming sessions to Woodford Leisure Centre and were supporting a number of vulnerable young people (including children on child protection plans, children about whom we had safeguarding concerns, a young adult with learning difficulties and an isolated young person with mental health difficulties) through the clubs and additional one-to-one work. These young people were taken out to activity sessions such as bowling, the cinema, Inflatanation, Rebound Trampoline Park, Rock Climbing, Snooker and Laser Station. 

Work carried on as usual into 2020 until just before the National Lockdown in March 2020. At this point no-one knew how long this would last but it soon became apparent that we would need to change our way of working in order to continue to engage with young people and to fulfil our new contract. The staff team met over Zoom and rewrote procedures and policies around engaging young people virtually. All of our recording and monitoring was moved online with the help of Jack and an eventual move across to google suite. Facebook pages were set up as an interface between senior young people and staff and we quickly learnt how to use different media to engage. Initially, all engagement with young people was via text, zoom or facebook and families were supported with food parcels/potatoes/bread (some donated free from Jacksons)/an occasional gift of money towards bills where needed. We also supplied families with information about support available from the council and about how to keep their young people safe online. 

By the end of April we were able to re-start some work on the ground. We started by delivering 3.5kg bags of baking mixes (such as pizza, brownies, bread) to some of our young people at the end of April, using shopping trollies. 



These proved really popular and, from May, we began to deliver a weekly activity to any young person or parent of a young person who requested it. Some of these activities were challenges or competitions, others were just for individual enjoyment. A parents’ facebook page was set up as a cost-free interface and way of interacting with those young people who were too young to have social media themselves. Soon each week’s activity was advertised on the page and parents posted photographs of their young people taking part in the activities. Where there were competitions, prizes were sent to young people via Amazon Prime. Some of those early activities were things such as Chalk Art Challenge, Chalk Exercise Course, Nature Treasure Hunts, seed planting, tie dying, creating a nature art attack and making a kitchen herb garden. We started holding quizzes over Zoom, though numbers were small. Jane got us organised with In Kind Direct and we were able to order toiletries, toilet rolls, cleaning items and hand gel at low cost to put into care packages for families who needed it. Jo Nielsen from the council’s Foredyke Area Co-ordination Team made contact with us and sorted out some food hampers for families needing them. She also brought a good supply of clothing that we were able to pass on to families who were struggling. This positive relationship has continued and Jo has continued to pass things our way that she knows will benefit our families - from excess food from other organisations to clothing, food parcels and other items. In June we developed a relationship with Vineyard Church who offered the delivery of free food parcels and access to clothes and equipment for families with younger children aged 5 and under. We also began one-to-one walk and talks. Our relationship with the local high school improved as working together to trace vulnerable young people who weren’t in school became important. Twoway informal referrals took place. 

During July, planning began for delivering a very different summer programme through Hull City Council’s Healthy Holidays’ fund. During the school holidays we delivered six activity packs for families to do together. These were entitled, “Festival in your Backyard” and consisted of activities such as toasting marshmallows over an open fire, BBQ and mocktails and camping out in the back garden. Each family received a tent, a BBQ/fire pit and a supply of wood and coals and everything else needed for each activity. Home visits (garden only), care package deliveries, one-to-one walk and talks and supporting parents through socially-distanced chats continued as did all of the online work. As the school summer holidays began we also manned a point for the distribution of packed lunches through Hull City Council on the car park of the Pennine. Where 



parents were unable to pick up the packed lunches, staff delivered them to their door. 

By September we had moved our office into the new side of the building and our  youth space had been completed and was ready to use. The Early Help and Assessment Meetings had resumed virtually and Tiffany was attending these. By this point the guidance and support from the National Youth Agency was really clear and they became the lead organisation liaising with the government around the importance of youth work continuing during the pandemic. They have worked out a traffic light system for youth workers to follow – with red, amber, yellow and green levels allowing different types of work to take place. By the end of September we had begun our first face-toface sessions in the new outdoor courtyard area at Pennine. These one-to-one and small group sessions continued out of doors for a couple of months, using a borrowed fire pit for warmth! 

In October 2020 Stacey undertook her Safeguarding Threshold training with Hull City Council with a view to progressing to do the Level 2 safeguarding course and taking over the safeguarding lead at Bridges. Also in October we split our staff team into two – with one team heading up the online work and the other doing the face-to-face work on the ground. In the absence of Hull Fair, we created side-stall games for the face-to-face sessions and were able to secure about 40 pumpkins for pumpkin-carving from Coniston Farm Shop. We also began to receive food from Fareshare (our membership was paid for by Hull City Council for one year and we deferred the start from April 2020 to October 2020) and set up sessions where young people/parents could come and collect a bag of food items for free. 

Sadly Paige left us July 2020 due to childcare issues and we made Lyn redundant in October 2020 as it became clear that her role would not be needed for a very long time. We decided not to re-employ but to give staff extra responsibilities and pay, allowing Tiff and Nik to step back somewhat from the face-to-face work on the ground.

**Report to the trustees/** Bridges Hull Limited **members of** 

**On accounts for the year** 31 October 2020 **Charity no** 1123951 **ended (if any)** 

**Set out on pages** 1 of 1 

(remember  to include the page numbers of additional sheets) 

**Respective** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. **responsibilities of** The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year **trustees and examiner** under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

**Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given **examiner’s statement** by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention; 

- **Independent** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention; 

- **examiner's statement** 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: 

      - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

      - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

      - have not been met; or 

   2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
