This can include referrals and sharing best practice. None of the Trustees received remuneration or other benefit during the reporting year. VOLUNTEERS Without volunteers, Baca would not be able to deliver our holistic support service. Volunteers gain new experiences within the voluntary sector, learn from highly-trained staff and gain and develop new skills that will stay with them forever. Volunteer5 make a real difference to the young people by giving their time through our volunteer programme. In total 30 volunteers have been involved in delivering our young people services. In the midst of the pandemic, the f lexibility and the determination shown by the volunteers to provide ongoing support through creative mean5 has been a significant hlghlight for us.

Whilst there are goIng low level instances of safety concerns which are regularly monitored and resolved. we have not had any serl(Mts incldents In the past year. On the oter hand, we are noticing clear signs of the impact of COVID.19 on the safety of young Fwie. There are some sIS that yOLmg people are more vulnerable to online Bro7ng and eXpLoitatiL, as their access to day-to.day soclal actlvltles, friendships etc have been severely curtailed by lockdowns.

The generosily and commitment, is much appreclated.

Finally, Baca are focusing on team and young people wellbeing through concerted engagement with both groups, to gather thoughts on how best to ensure all are supported as best as posslble.
STRATEGIC GOALS The focus of our three.year strategy 12019-20221 is to enable unaccompanied forced migrant young people to maximise their potential to be positive empowered individuals who can contribute to society. These goa15 build on the excellent foundations of previous years, whllst being committed lo our approach of continual learning. both from the young people themselves and other agencies. Through this strategic framework we are challenging ourselves to bring about signif icant and sustainable change both in meeilng the depth of need for each young person and in the number of young people we work with directly or Indlrectly. I . STRENGTHEN Baca's holistic service for young forced migrants, continuing lo inspire hope and share futures. 2. ENHANCE Baca's service to maximise Ihe potential in eoch young person, 3. ENGAGE locally, regionally and nalionally to see a world where . forced migrants are welcomed, feel safe and hove hope to rebuild Iheir live5 for a better future. The above Strategic goals drive us closer towards achleving the 5 outcomes and long term Impact for each individual young person, Identified In our Theory of Change. Increased engagement with education, employment & training Increased Personal Safely Improved emotional wellbeing Increased physical wellbeing Incréased social engagement Positive & Empowered young people, able to live independently as nel conlribulors lo society 14
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE The context of 2020-2021 has been one where we have faced the unprecedented disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic. However. we made the intentional choice, followed by concerted effort by our team, to not Standstill. Our achievements against our priorities and goals are summarised in this section. HOW WE MEASURE OUR IMPACT Although it is challenging measuring impact when working with young people who have suffered trauma, do not have a good understanding of ihe English language and have significant cultural differences, we are able to use certain proxies to help us capture progre55 againsl the 5 outcomes mentioned above. For example, to establish whether we reach our intended measure of progress with the emotional wellbeing of a young person, we review data on the number of Art Therapy sessions attended by the young person. In addition, two key considerations have shaped our approach to measuring external impact. It takes time to achieve impact in much of our work. We know we make the m05t impact when we work on issues over a number of years, particularly when we are seeking to bring about major change. Reflecting this. the impact stories in this report are taken from a period beyond the given reporting year. Throts£h our work we aim to influence the fundamental approach of supporting UA5Cs. Although thi5 15 difficult to capture, we are developing our capability to gather 50ft intelligence as evidence of Subtler and intangible changes. PLACEMENTS FROM LOCAL AUTHORITIES Over the last year Baca has worked to provide care for 44 young people from 4 local authorities: Leicestershire County Council - 31 young people Cambridgeshire County Council - 4 young people Leicester City Council - l young people Rutland County Council - 8 young people 15
Our support is delivered through the placement of vulnerable UASCS with our supported accommodation provision which catered for 26 young people at any one time in this past year. We have had an average occupancy of 80% over the year, requiring 18000 support hour5. The average occupancy is not reflective of real need. When split, the average occupancy of boys was 87% whilst that of the girls was only 41%. This is a ref lection of a national pattern of lower numbers of girls who are UASCS making it safely to the UK, due to exploitation and trafficking. Furthermore, it does not represent all the support hours delivered a5 It 15 unrealistic to charge the local authority for every hour of support delivered. The demand for our service continues to exist and is increasing. This is evidenced by the increase in placements f rom Leice5ter5hire and Rutland County Council, in comparison to the last year. It is important to note Ihat this increase in number of placements does coincide with a reduction in placements from Cambridgeshire County Council ICCCI. This is because of a shift in policy by the council to place as many looked after UASCS within their county borders. Despite the reduction in placements from CCC, Baca continues to have a very strong relationship with the council and are working towards delivering a service within their county borders, f urther detai15 will be explained later in the report. Several key prioritie5 were designated as objectives in our 2020-2021 Operational Plan. Here we report on the achievements against these objectives under each Strategic goal. GOAL I: STRENGTHEN Baca's holislic service for young forced migrants. continulng to inspire hope and share futures a. Improving outcomes for the young people "Baco provide good levels of support and successfully help young people In thls adjustment peTlod. We feel confldent Ihat Ihey can meet young people's needs" Local AukhoTStv Social Worker Increased Engagement with Educallon, Employment and Tralnlng Over the year we have delivered our education programme for two hour5 every weekday morning. Our education programme helps our young people who often arrive with no literacy in their home language, to gain solid foundations in English at Entry Level 1. We also provide lessons in Maths and ICT, preparing our young people lo pass these additional Entry Level 1 qualifications. Our two teachers and one teaching assistant split the class into three separate group5 according to learner needs. Depending on the time the young people join Baca, some were enrolled under Ihe Wyggeston and Queen Elizabeth CollegelBaca Partnership. In the last academic year, we supported 11 young people, 5 as part of the partnership. 16
Given the pandemic, the teaching team had to make sudden changes from established classroom teachlng methods to online lessons for the first 6 months. This meant that the young people were accessir¢g le5$0ns in a format that was completely unfamiliar to them. Combine this with the very low Starting point of ICT literacy and the of loss of routine, the impact on their emotional wellbeing has been significant. The team made every effort to continue to deliver these le550ns and the support workers worked with the teachers to facilitate their learning. However, whilst every effort was made to enable learning for the young people, the impact of the pandemlc cannot be understated. The young people have tried their best to stay engaged and to learn. Those who took exams had mixed results. The key takeaway for us from this experience has been the significance of strengthening the young people's reslllence. their ability to face unforeseen change5 and practically developing their ICT literacy ski115.

Our ESOL mentoring programme uses volunteers to help young people, with their reading, writing, speaking, listening and even Maths. In the past year the numbers of young people accessing this support was lower due to a reduction in the number of mentors available for the programme, as a result of the pandemic. However, for those who have been available for these sessions transitioned online and they were very successful. It provided young people with contact with a trusted adult who was just focused on their education. These sessions supported 10 young people through the year. We will be taking forward the learning from the
delivery of these sessions, particularly the p055ibililies of blended approaches for specific young people to meet their circumstances. Alongside thi5 our education coordinator supported 14 young people who are enrolled at a local college, to enable them to engage and learn a5 best as possible with their courses. Thirteen passed their course, one of the boys left Baca before the end of the academic year, 50 we are unsure if he passed his course. During this academic year which Started in August 2020 we initially supported 16 young people to either join college f or the first time, join new courses or new college5. The support we provide includes taking the students through the full process of enrolment which involves initial assessments and applications for bursaries. We have also provided additional classes during holidays and assisted the young people who have transferred colleges. Improved Emotional Wellbeing and Personal Safety Art Therapy has been key in supporting the young people with Improving their emotional wellbelng. For some this improvement, has been as simple as recognizing the impact of their experience5 on their wellbeing and therefore taking the very first steps to processing their emotions. For others, it has been a journey of processing their past traumatic experiences In order to find a way to become more resilient in their day to day life. Art Therapy build5 on the innate creativity of the young people at Baca. This is in part because they have often come from naturally creative cultures. While the lockdowr¢ ha5 made it hard to provide therapeutlc support, our art therapist has made the most of the opportunitles when She could meet with the young people. She has been able to provide small group and 1.1 support to 15 young people this year. During such a mentally challenging year, it is invaluable that the young people have been able to access some OYFUL original EnEereri5inJ < PEFUL• face-to-face stjpport if they needed it. When we were in the Young Person's artwork f ir5t lockdown we delivered an art pack to each young person's house. This gave them the ability to have the materials to Use if they wanted to acce55 online sessions from home, or just draw for f un. 18
Furihermore, online video tutorials were made to enable young people to use these materials to express themselves. Specific sessions were run to help young people to focus on the positives in their day to day including positive relationships and new life Ihat is birlhing round them in nature. This was helpful in enabling young people to notice aspects of life that are not diff icult so as to encourage them and build resilience. These sessions were well altended, especially given the remote nature of them during the height of the pandemic. 6E CAREF14 LL + ASH YOUR HWOS PRolEcf ts<OA Amonuel (not hls rèal nome) had a sesslon wllh me. the resldentlal volunleer explalned that Amonuel was worrled about Covld.19.

Having Just built some momentum with the WQE College art therapy sessions, it was frustrating. If underslandable that these workshops had to stop in March. Our art therapist used this time to create the Baca Art Space. a YouTube channel with video resources for the young people. This has proved to be really successful with over 400 vlews. One of the young people commented that they like being able to watch Ihe vide05 at any time. When our art therapist shared the detai15 of the channel with the WQE College Welfare Lead Advi50r she said 'Thanks for this. I had a Ii)ok at some of it this morning, it looks greatl I will share the link with our team if that's ok? 11 could be useful for other students. 19
Our approach to safeguarding has been highlighted above. One of the key measures of increased personal safety adopted by Baca. is the number of young people going missing from placement. This is based on research that suggests disappearing from care being one of the biggest risks faced by unaccompanied minors, due to trafficking and exploitation vulnerabilities. We have had no young people go missing from placement in the last year. This is a significant achievement in comparison to a national average. Increased Social Engagement and Improved Physicol Wellbeing While the lockdown has dramatically limited the number of sport5 sesslons we have undertaken, we were st711 able to provide some activities. As always football remained the most popular choice, but when restrictions were reduced some of the young people were also able to go swimming, play pool and attend boxing sessions. ¢er the year 21 young people have taken part in at leasl one session. When we were able, we took the young people out on Saturday activities, these included going to crazy golf and ice skating. While they enjoyed taking part, they mainly just loved being out with their housemates. While we haven't been able to deliver the day trips as we originally hoped to this year, we have been able to adapt our plans. When lockdown restrictions eased over the summer, we were able to go on some day trips that would challenge the youn8 people. One of the trips was to Sprlng Lakes Water Park. This was a fantastlc day with an aqua park obstacle course, wakeboarding and different boats. Two of the young people cldn't swim and were initlally quite scared of the water, but with the guidance of our support workers, and the encouragement of the other young people, they showed great courage by glvlng It a go. Gradually, as the day went on they built up their confidence, and by the end of the trip both said it was a great day. We had a similar experience when we went to Go.Ape. One of the boys was quite scared of heights, but he showed bravery and determination to complete the course. serlous lear of heights and dolng Ihe whole course." In lolol 19 young people hov beèn on ol least one day frlp. On the 18th August we had our annual Baca celebration, unfortunately this year it had to be onllne. While we all missed spending time with the young people in person. and sharing thelr amazing food, It was still a very upliftlng evening. It was a shame that we were unable to invite our supporters and friends of Baca, but the support team helped by our residential volunteers did a great job of making sure we could still celebrate our young people, and recognise their achievements. There were awards, speeches, and of course a quiz. It was such a great atmosphere and a night to remember. 20
b. Strengthen the use of good quality houses over the long terni A core part of the %Yvice delivered to the young people is safe and secure accommcwjation. Last year, we secured a social investment loan frorn Social and Sustainable Capital {SASC) to buy properties to replace our rentals arKI thereby reduce wr dependency on a hlghiy comFetltfve, unaffordable, rental h(wsing market. The stability that ovmed housing will bring will in tum improve the wellbeing of the Yn8 people v#ho have already suffered tremerthis trauma and disruption. In thls year, desplte COVID, we managed to purchase two more wopertles and we are at the end of the process of Cpleting the purchase of our first 1.bed fiat. The first of the two hou is being used by 4 younq people. It has been a safe place that has created a sense of belonging and permanency in kthsino. The 1-bed flat will provide a solution to those young people who have received leave to remain ar are on the cusp of moving into social housing but are delayed due to shortages In soclal hcxtsing stock and the cwesponding high demand for this form of accommodaticffj. These develownents have been an excltlng step frThard for Baca, enabllng us to establlsh safe and secure housing, suited to the y(Mmg people's reeds. for the ItX)g tern). GOAL 2: ENHANCE Boca's service to maxlmise the potentlal of each young person a. Better support young people In the transition to adulthood in independent living This year is the seCcd year of our Leaving Care Project. The woject recogni5es that while many of our young people successfully transition from our care. some need additional support to ensure this move is 5ceSSfUl. We were delighted to secure funding from several funders who have wlorltlsed the need to Improve the significant unsafe clrcumstances f2£ed ty young people leaving care. Their support wcthrs have becorne advcKates helping them navigate Ihrough language and cultural barrier5, while a150 helping them think through choices, Just as a parent would. The roie also includes identifying the latest requirements of the complicated processes invclved in applying for benefits and the social krtYJ51ng. A second part of the project Is that Baca's education cwrdinator has expanded her role to also supwrt the Yn8 people through this transition. enabiinq ytyjng people to have opportunitie5 to learn new skills through Vrk.experienCe, traineeshlps, apprentlce5hlps, or even accessing edational yjpport at Baca. The education coordinator15 also building apprwiate partnerships to facilitate these placements. In this past year. we have 5Ported 15 young people through a variety of area5 of need. The most common areas of SuPp(t needed by the youn8 people have been In education transiti to a vocati¢Mal cwrse, dealing with the council and job centre with benefits and cLwncil housing, tenarKy issues with landlord5 and finally re5pondin8 to instance5 21
of online fraud faced by the young people. A year of delivering this projeci has shown us that there exists an assumption in the statutory world that those moving on to living independently at age 18 as a care leaver need very little support and are able to manage the transition5 on their own. Wider evidence available in the sector points to the opposite. Our own experiences have shown the same. Challenges such as online financial fraud, complicated utilities bills payment processes. extremely disruptivelaggressive neighbours mean it is nol realistic to expect young people who have just moved to independence to negotiate these by themselves. They need guidance, advice. support to enable them to build the skills, knowledge, confidence and literacy of the systems that they have to engage with. Whilst the initial aim of the project was to support those of the highest need, our work has shown that most of the young people needing support were not just of the highest need. Instead. most youn8 people, even those who seemed quite confident, needed the support provided by the Leaving Care project. Both these elements of the project involve Baca helping the young people develop strong links with their community, as they move away from Baca's care and Into local houslng. employment or training. and managlng hls own money. He has a good group of frlends al home and outsld• and, even If sometlmes frustfoled. has always shown great respect for all role4ilonali.:.I¢W.

Our support ensured that she was able to access the right support as a new mother and have the relatlonal support around her to ensure that she was not lonely. The flnal element of this new project Is to glve the young people a volce in shaping the type of leaving care support we provlde In the future. Those who have left Baca are the best placed to tell us what they needed, and how our support could be Improved. Core Worker Lead.

b. Setup provision to meet UASC needs in a new location Last year we made the decIsI( to Invest In setting up a new provlslon In a new location, namely wlthln the Cambridgeshlre County re91c. We want to partlcularly thank the CHK Foundation for their support of thi5 project, which gave us the financial basis to build the project. The team conducted a location scoping a feasibility analysis, even though there were several unavoidable delay5 caused by the pandemlc. The research, based on analysing 17 different criteria, concluded that Cambridge city would be the best l¢xatlon for us to atternpt to start our new provSsion. We have started an actlve search for sultable houslng In the wider area of Cambridge City. The search has coincided with conversations with a potential funder specialising in funding accomrnodation service for vulnerable people. The FY)Sitive connectlon we were able to establish has led to a conditional pledge from the funder to fund deposits for the purchasing of two hse5. ThTS has been a significant boost to our plans and a vote of confldence in our strategy to develop our servlce In the new area. Our search for housing Is in full swing al9 with our plans to build a team for the new location. Finally, we have been building connections with local organisations in the clty to ensure that our work is not imposln8 on existing excellent local activity, instead we are working in partnership lor the benefit of the young people. We are looking forward to the development of these partnershlps. c. Internship programme for Residential Volunteers Residentlal Volunteer roles are one of the most cruclal roles 5n Baca. As adults who Ilve in the houses, they take the lead in creating a safe home environment for the young people in their homes. Flndlng these trustworthy and capable Indlvkluals who are wllllng to be posltlve role models for these young people, is not easy. In response to this challenge, 8aca has initiated a project to create an Internship programme a5 a solution to recruit suitable adults as Resldentlal Volunteers. We were able to reerult 3 Snterns in our first year, who alongside bei Residential Volunteers fulfilled the roles of Sports Intern, Education Intern and Young People actlvities Intern. This additional capacity was e55entlal in enablln8 US to meet young people's needs durlng the pandernic. The ¥t5 intern was able to ganIse one.to.one sessions durlng the lockdown. They a150 organised vari5 taster sessions that enabled yc4Jn8 people to be exposed to sports that they may not have naturally had a go at. Sesslons had an average attendance of 5 young people during the peak of the pandemlc. Some of the young people have now bjilt into their routines actlvltles Ilke golng to the sym regularly. One young person joined a l¢xal football club. The educatlon Intern supported the teaching team to put on one.to.one sessions for students when they had to move thelr learnlng to onllne platforms. They assisted with creating bespoke learning resources for the students. In addition to all of the above, the presence of these adult5 as Residential Volunteers was significant in wovldlng a safe envIrrnent Tn the houses for the young people to manage the challenges of the pandemic. 23
GOAL 3: ENGAGE locally, reglonally and natlonally a. Actively increase Young People's Voice in the service Baca Is committed to ensuring we conslstently Ilsten to young people. It Is part of our DNA to learn from them and use their voice to shape our servlces. The need for this development was further acceieraled by the traglc death of George Fioyd, as m05t young people feel that they are not heard In day to day Ilfe. It has highlighted the absolute Impance, across the sector, of the need for the volce of the young people at the centre. For Baca, It has further clarlfled our desire to ensure that those we serve are at the centre of the plans we have and the service5 we dellver. Practlcal outworking of the plans was affected by the restrlctlons Imposed by the pandemlc. However, durlng thls past year, we have Setup a Staff core group to lead the young people's volce project. The 8roup Is made of representatlves of the staff team from across the organlsatlon. The next steps wlll Involve the formatlon of a youn8 people's tore qroup to represent the wlder group of young people. Thls wlll then lea¢J to Jolntly formln8 sorne key outcomes that the young people belleve we need to fcrus on In order to enable them to contribute and partlclpate wlth the day to day Ilfe events In Loughborough. Exlstln8 work where youno people shape annual events Ilke the resldentlal, the annual celebratlon, the trlps etc have contlnued. The experlence of last year has fed Into the plannlng of thls year and It ha5 created greater Interest amongst the youn8 people to partlclpate and shape these events. b, Bulldlng partnershlps to learn, and share knowledge and expertlse In response to our strateqlc prlorltyi we actlvely shared our knovAed8e both locally and rbatlonally. The need for thls Is greater now than ever before due to the sl8nlflcant challenges faced by the youn8 people and the fast paced changes In the wlder context. Over the past year we have made a number of valuable connectlons wlth other or8anlsatlons: Opportunitie5 to share knowledge have been Ilmlted thls year, however we have contlnued to do thls both locally and natlonally. Locally thls has been throulh our work with East Midlands Strateiic Partnership. Thi5 partnershlp has led to Baca belng IDvlted to present our model of work to the Reglonal MSgration Board In JurE 2021. Natlonally we are stlll worklng wlth the Centre for Sotlal Justlce and the Mern Slavery Policy Unit formed in partnershlp wlth Justlce and Care. Thls lorum has been Instrumental in enabllng us to represent the vlews of unaccompanled asylum seekSng and trafflcked young people In response to the challen8es ralsed by the Home Offlcé. 24
We have joined the Refugee Migrant Children's Consortium and also the Children's Task and Finish Group for Anti Trafficking, which enables us to repsent the views and experiences of the young people in policy conversations. We are now part of a group with other larger charities in the sector. collaborating on the aim to raise awareness through a jOTnl campaign on Anti-Slavery day in October 2021. This has given Baca the opportunity to share our knowledge, make new contact5. be part of a network thal is committed to raising awareness about trafficking. Finally, we are in the midst of the development of a joint working partnership with Professor Kohli from the University of Bedfordshire. exploring how best practice in creating long term impact can be shared with a wider group of local authorities and other key stakeholders who are responsible for the care of unaccompanied young people. c. Engaging wtth the local community Now more than ever before, Baca believes that it 15 Vltal to engage with the local community in order for us to achieve our vision. It is important for us to be part of the local conversation and the local solution to build bridges between community groups. This is necessary in light of the general negative sentiments, that may be pervading the various parts of the country, and particularly in the East Midlands region, towards those entering the UK to seek refuge from exploitation, war, persecution and trafficking. butcher in Loughborough. he said to the support woiker.. "It's SO good how you are helping these young people. Keep aTolng whal you're dolllg. You are whol makes England greati These were some of the successes we have had ID this area. in the midst of the pandemic. We were invited to pitch to groups of young people who were attending an NCS scheme that had partnered with various Leicestershire colleges. Off the back of the pitch they have chosen to fundraise for Baca for the second year running. This time round, they are asking all of the NCS groups in the IIKal area to raise awareness of Baca's work. We have built partnerships with local primary and secondary schoo15. This work is going to further develop into opportunities where schools aim to Use the expertise f rom those at Baca to be a resource to meet the curriculum requirements through assemblies and various creative lesson activitie5 for teachers. Finally, we have also been approached by the local parish church with the offer making us their lead partner charity for the next 3 years. This will lead to opportunities to connect with the local community through new events, thereby raise awarene55 and build bridge5 between the young people and the local community. 25

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS Our strategic plan covers a three-year period. of which we have corneted the second year. Whllst we have made g)d pyogress In the 5ecoTrJ year, we have a long way to go, especially with the impact of COVID - 19. We are committed to investing hope and shaplng futures of Ycn8 people thrsh the strategy Set out. Below is a summary of our key prioritie5 for the year ahead. GOAL I: STRENGTH EN Baca's hollstk servlce for young forced mlgrants. continuing lo insplre hope and share fvlures a. Improving outcomes for the young people Baca's commltment to investing W and shaping futures, means th7s objective will always be a focus for future periods. Through this year, we have encolmtered a new level of emotional vulnerabllity experienced by young people. The urKlerlying areas of vulnerability have been signifkantly exacerbated by the pandemlc. We are noticing patterrts and working hard to understand tIE underlying causes for these vulnerabilities. efforts in making proqress In thls area have been slowed down due the clrcLThStances of thts year. We belleve that wlth certain ethnic groups, their past experiences, their potential lack of development of attachment at a young age wwld be signiflcant reasons for thelr emotlonal vulnerabllity. Therefore, in response, we are focused on finding solutior6 to trelp ycwng people build their resilience, through b)listic therapeutic supi>xt. We will be looklng at understandlng better the cultural nuances of certaln ethnklties. whKh will include incorporating more of the posltive aspects of their hcrtne culture in the life in the UK. It will also include starting to engage in conversatiorrs around bel18, identlty and security and how thts affects thelr resi1Ce. We are fccusing on building a cohesive mental strategy that is ernbedded across all areas of our service. Lastly. we are fcKused on strengthenlnq thelr own resilierKe and also include better equlpplng our team with knowledge and skilts to reS[d to the vulnerablllties. b. Strengthen the use of good qualfty houses over the long term We are in a strong positi( going into next year, having seCUd investment frc#n SASC. The impact of COVID .19 on the tbyjsing rnarket is Significant and not yet fully quantlfled. However, we wlll be pushlng forward vAth (Kjr purchaslng strategy, 2 more hwses and 2 more flats, as best as we can in the coffling year, to ensure we secure t1 rl8ht houses to Improve our accJnn)odatlon experlerKe for our young rwie. c. Developing our Education offer to meet the Indlvidual needs of the young people r education classes. ccAleqe SWKM)rt and reading support will CtInUe to develop. Before this year almost all our Yn8 rwLe went to WQE College, twt now many are also golng to 29
eTther Lwghbor(xth College or Leicester College. where we dcffi't have stroTr4 connections. For the year ahead we w)11 contirKE to IwSld on the work we have done to establish connections with key members of staff at Lekester CtAlege and Loughtxough College. Finally, the impact of wellbeing on the ability to learn. retain learnSng and apply learning Is well establlshed. Therefore, we also plan to grow the inter-connected work between the Education leam and Therapy work to enable young people to have the best chance to engage with their lessons and embed their learning.

Setup provlslon to meet UASC needs fin a new location Baca 15 committed to extending its impact to more UASCS in need. As the need faced by young people In the Cambridgeshlre area has been weil established in our initial research, we will be working hard In the coming year to establish a sultable provision in Cambridge City in partner5hlp wlth local or8anisations viith shared visi¢Jn and values.

This will iKlude having members of team become mentors to the lfttems. GOAL 3: ENGAGE locally. reglonally and nallonally . Actlvely increase Young People's voice in the service and the community Thls past year has been significant for us in how we have *t the for seeklng t young FwLe's voice in shaping our servke. Whllst this has been a very successful start, we beileve there is fflo we can athieve together with the YOU perpie In ensurfng thelr volces are heard. We would Ilke to ralse leaders from amongst the young wpie. An avenue we wlll be exploring to make this happen, is f(Thlng a Small group of young people wtrKJ would Ilke to represent the wider gr(w.

Ensure better support Is avafilable for UASC young people regionally and nationalty The change In the external context has been signrficant In the past year. The pandemlc has had a slgnificant impact on the emotional and mental wellbeing of the young people. However. the resources availatAe for 5UPtNxiing twAe in thi5 area are negligible. Therefore, there Is a great need to develop soiutlors In partnerships. We will be seeking out key organisati$ and agencie5 in the local area. Furthermore, recent annwefftents In government polky woposals, hlghllght the Smportanee of the volce of the young peq)le belng represented amongst those who are shaping and implementing policies that affect their Ilves.

Baca are concerned that if local authorities see their funding cut for young asylum seekers, there is a risk that more young Ople wlll be placed In unsuitable accommodation with very litlle or no specialist supporl. We See it as a challenge that we must face on behalf of young asylum seekers. We are focused on Imwoving this sltuat?on by adv¢Xating on behalf of these young people regionally with IKal authorities and sharing our learning wlth other providers wcrfklng wlth UASCS.
