RELATED PARTIES AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER ORGANISATIONS
In order to best Serve the vulnerable unaccompanied forced migrant young people, the Charity
is committed to working in partnership with a range of organisations f rom the public, private
and charity sectors. The Charity works in formal partnerships with a growing number of Local
Authorities to deliver services. We work with a range of charities who are specialists in
working with vulnerable young people- including mental health, trafficking and child sexual
exploitation. 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

FUNDERS AND SUPPORTERS
Baca would Ilke to slrterely thank all those vtho have supported us djring the 2020-21
financial year. Baca's fur*diroA primarily comes from the contracts It ha5 in place with various
partner local authwities. We w(xAd like particularly ackrMThledge our partnwshlp wlth
Lekestershlre c￿nty Cwtrcll, vlth we have been workÉng for 13 years. Much of the
rThi.statutory value added wcrt Baca carrles out is supported thrcwgh funding from grants and
donations from those in the communlty. We are grateful for all the fantsstic suppcKt we have
retelved for thls work frcKn the different grant funding bodies arKJ f￿ndatIOnS listed at the
10

end of the report. We are particularly thankful to Samworth and CHK Foundations for thelr
generous emergency funds as the pandemic hit. We also want to express our gratitude to the
National Lottery and Henry Smith foundation for their continued support of our work, enabling
us to run effectlvely and efficiently. The belief shown in our vision expressed through our
activities have enabled us to not step back in investing in our vulnerable youn4 people5, lives,
particularly in light of one of the most difficult years in recent times. The generosily and
commitment, is much appreclated. Baca recognises that much of the non-statutory work such
as extra-curricular activities through volunteers, vocational skills exposure, additional
education support, art therapy, day trlps would not have been able to run had it not been for
this investment.
Baca subscribes to the Code of Fundraislng Practice In all of its fundralsing activlties. The code

with the application of this code and GDPR regulations in the reporting period.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees have revlewed the major rlsks to whlch the Charity is exposed and systems have
been established to mitigate those risks. A full risk assessment is carried out as part of the
Strategy and Buslness Planning process. Rlsks are presented at each quarterly Trustees
meeting. In these meetings, significant external risks to income and resetves are reviewed to
ensure that sufficient funds are in place. Internal risks are revlewed and mlnlmSsed by the
Trustees and Leadershlp Team by the Implementation of approprlate procedures. The core

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,

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.

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

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.

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. Work has

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

such a mentally challenging year, it
is invaluable that the young people

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.

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.

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 c￿ldn'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.

On the 18th August we had our annual Baca celebration, unfortunately this year it had to be

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.

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 Y￿n8 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 C￿pleting 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 seCc￿d 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 5￿ceSSfUl. 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 Y￿n8 people

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

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 h￿se5. 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 al￿9 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 vari￿5 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 envIr￿rnent 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 Imp￿ance, 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.

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 M￿ern Slavery

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 rep￿sent 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.

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.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Our strategic plan covers a three-year period. of which we have corn￿eted 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
Yc￿n8 people thr￿sh 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 bel￿1￿8, identlty and security and how thts affects thelr resi1￿Ce. 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 seCU￿d 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
acc*Jnn)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 C￿tInUe to develop. Before
this year almost all our Y￿n8 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 Lought*xough 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. This will involve developing our resources, skil15
and new arvoaches in hcrw lessons are delivered.
GOAL 2: ENHANCE Baca's servlce to moxlmlse Ihe polentlal of each yovng
person
a. Better support young people in the transition to adulthood in independent
Ilvlng
We have c￿nPleted the flrst year of wr Leaving Care project. We have galred invaluable
insights from the Y￿n8 people who left us recently ab￿t the challenges they face. Thls
learnlng has already started to shape tyjr entlre provlslon. The key areas of challenges fKed
by young people have given us insights Into the preparatlon we need to enable the young
people to focus on well before they become a care leaver. Speclflc resources. workshop
sessl¢Jns and learnlng opr*xtunltles for tkM)se leaving care to help them better understand the
processes invcAved in setting up benefits, a couKil flat. utilities, paylng bills and managing
tenancles, wlll be developed. Alongs5de thls, we wlll be I[￿king at way5 to enable the young
people to bulld strw4 SUPPOrt networks In thelr lrnlependent Ilfe, to reduce depende￿leS
between a young person and an organlsatlon.
We will a150 be taking further 5tep5 to enable young pe4le to access work ￿CeMents or
tralneeships through partnerthlps wlth experts In the area who are able to adapt their offer to
meet the needs of our Y￿J￿4 people. We wlll be actively seeking to form partnerships to fulfil
this alm.
Flnally, we witl be actfvely worklng towards reconnectir8 with the young Feopie who have left
U5 in the past 5 year5 to under5tarKI arKI learn from their experlences. Where apwopriate, we
W￿[d Ilke to Invlte them to share with the current ywng people and even become peer
mentixs.
b. 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 involve settlng up
our f irst houses arrtl then building wr holistic senlices.
30

c. Internshlp programme for Resldentlal Volunteers
We have completed first year of the intemship wograrnrne where we have been able to
recrult 3 Intems across three areas of focus - Swrts, Educatlon and Young people activities. As
it was our first attempt at delivering an intern prograrnrne and it has enabled us to gather a
significant amount of leamlng. Uslng thls leaming, we will be establishing a programme that
will look at creatlng a pathway for deveicynent for interns and for more active engagement
with the various aspects of Baca's day to day operaticffjs. 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. We wwld like to Use the growl to be a F￿ce where discussions
around leadership arKI u￿rStandIng cultural aspetts of Influencing and leadlng people could
be explored. We also believe they tske the lead along with some of wr team to shape
yearly attfvltles Ilke the celebrntlon, the resldential. alongslde glwn8 us feedback about
service. We also want to create a safe space for the young people to e￿￿e what it weans for
them to be part of the l(Kal ccffirnunity. t7Th￿. we want to draw in some of the young
people who have left U5 to share their experiences and learning from moving out into the big
wide world.
b. 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 annw￿efftents 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 belleves that it 15 IK)t our mi55ion or
expertlse to dlrectly engage In Fx)ilcy adV￿aCY work. However, it is Important fcf us to engage
wlth key ￿ganIsatIonS in the sectw vtho are experts in the area. To thls end, we wlll be
working with PJKC, EM5PMP, Modem Slavery Policy Unlt from CSJ and Children's Task and
31

Finish group from the Home Office. modem slavery unit and ottrtt key organi5ation to feed the
experiences and perspectives of unaccompanled Yc￿n9 rwle.
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. ThTS work is in line with Baca's mission supwting all yourff4 forced
migrants.
Baca will be seeking to a(fvocaEe fLY best practice guidan￿ to be established nationally, by
influencing stakeholders regionally and nationally. thr￿gh thjr partnerships with organisatlons
like Centre of Social Justice, Justice and Care and finally the regional migration partnerships.
c. Engage with the local community to inspire an environment that welcomes
young forced migrants
It is Baca's vision to see the world be a more welc￿1ng and safe place for young forced
migrants. In our history. we were actively engaged with the cornrnunity in a variety of way5,
namely our Passage prt)gramme in schoots, to build bridges and break down barrlers.
In this past year, we have delivered scPwi a5sembLies, engaged in social rnedia campaiy)s and
church lent projects to raise awarene55 in the cornrnunity. We are committed to buildlng on
this work in the year ahead. We will also engage in drfferent ways to hear tpe concerrts our
local community May have atwt young f￿Ced rnigrant5. We are working with a reputed medla
consultant establlshed In the migratlon sector, imix, to develop our communication and media
strategy to ensure we are clear, focused and targeted with our ffessaging with the communlty.
