Introduction
Carmarthen Youth Project, also known as Dr M’z, is an innovative youth organisation that was set up in 1997 by young people for young people living in Carmarthen and the surrounding areas.
Our vision is to be instrumental in working towards a Carmarthen where all young people in Carmarthen have access to a safe and stimulating environment and services that they need, to feel valued in society.
We provide a safe and stimulating environment for young people to meet, interact and participate in their community.
Overview
This year has seen an end to Pandemic restrictions and changes in young people's lives that they have had to adapt to. Many have struggled with these changes and have needed youth services more than ever to maintain a constant in the ever changing ways we are living.
We have provided increased support this year through more activities, more free trips and more free food and hygiene products to young people.
Highlights
This year we hosted a garden party for the end of Summer with special guests Eluned Morgan MS and Health Minister and John Rose, Director of The National Lottery in Wales.
Our President, Elis James visited the project to take part in a podcast interview with the young people.
The young people continued to improve our centre by building a solar bench outside the project for people to charge their phones and sit, chat and rest! We also worked with an artist and Yr Egin, the S4C building, to design part of their community garden, Blaguro.
We continued to work in partnership with many organisations to ensure that we provide the best services we can to the young people of Carmarthen and the surrounding area.

Chairperson's Report
.
I am honoured to present the Annual Report for Carmarthen Youth Project (Dr Mz) for 2021 to 2022. At the start of the year, we didn’t have to face the extraordinary events from the previous year but were faced with some restrictions. However, after all restrictions were lifted the delivery of a face to face provision was back.
Once again, the Trustees and I are amazed by the work delivered throughout the organisation by our staff with
the variety of projects on offer throughout the year. Without the dedication of staff and volunteers we would not be able to provide such a service. Thank you! A big thank you also, to our Manager Gayle and Ali, our Finance and Facilities Manager who work tirelessly to ensure the whole project is run successfully. Our work cannot develop without the support of our funders and we currently have various national funders continuing to support our work. We are also supported by fantastic local businesses and other local supporters from Carmarthen Town Council, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Dyfed Powys Police & Crime Commissioner and Carmarthenshire County Council. Without your support we would be unable to achieve such outcomes for the young people within our community.
Sadly, we this year we said goodbye to two long standing Trustees Jon and Coralie who decided it was time to retire. A big thank you for their years of support and dedication. We welcomed Nicola and Llinos to our Trustee team. Gratitude to our Honorary President, Elis James, who has supported us once again this year through promoting and fundraising for Dr Mz. The project was also privileged to have a visit from Eluned Morgan, MS and John Rose, the Director of the National Lottery in Wales.
The report identifies the diversity of projects that encourage young people to participate, to gain life skills and become adaptable young adults. My gratitude goes out to everyone to helped us have another successful year.

Manager's Report
This year has been another busy year with the threat of projects ending and then funding being found to keep them running.
Sadly, we said goodbye to a number of staff this year who have found other jobs. We wish them all the luck in their new ventures.
We also said a fond farewell to our long-serving Trustees Jon and Coralie and welcomed Llinos and Nichola to the Board.
We successfully navigated a way of working with young people through the Pandemic utilising online platforms, activity packs and messenger to keep in touch with our members and deliver meaningful youth work.
The staff team has grown and we are still in demand from University of Wales TSD to offer student placements at the Centre.
The Highlight of the year for me was Eluned Morgan, MS and John Rose, the Director of the National Lottery in Wales attending our end of summer Barbeque in the garden.
A huge thank you to Elis James, our Honorary President, who was kind enough to come along for a visit and agreed to take part in a podcast interview for our Digital Project and also continuing to raise funds for us including appearing on Pointless.
It has been an exciting year with more successful fundraising campaigns, however, it is still a challenge to find core costs.
Thank you to all of those who have supported us with funds, time and energy, including the staff team, volunteers, students, Trustees and Board members.
I am so proud to work with brilliant staff team who have shown dedication and innovation over the last two years and continue to amaze me with the ideas they come up with.
I hope our success continues so we are able to provide the much needed youth work and safe place for young people of Carmarthen for years to come.

1) Promoting the interests of young people
Promoting the best interests of our members is a core driver and this year’s success has been based on a number of activities. this year young people have taken part in a number of consultations for us and other agencies including Carmarthenshire's Play Suffiency Assessment, Mind our Futures Steering Group and Localmotion. We have asked them about our Digital and Cook It Projects this year.
Operations
This year, Dr Mz has returned to face to face youth work. We still utilise Social media platforms to deliver some online youth work, however, young people have told us they wanted to come back to the centre.
Projects that young people can take part in are our:
-
“Grow it Cook It Transform It” Project involving cooking, growing and gardening and environmental projects that benefit the community.
-
Health and Well-being Projects
-
Youth Volunteering and skill-building through our LSR Project
-
a Digital Project where young people can learn vital digital skills. Transitionz a weekly group for 7-11 year olds
-
Little M’z Pre-school session for young families. LGBTQ Youth Group
We take a user-informed, flexible approach to develop projects and as a result offer a "One Stop" facility that works closely with other services and organisations to provide the best possible services to young people.

What sets up apart?
We are an innovative project that has flexibility to develop. We have been the catalyst for projects to happen and are able to build strong partnerships with other groups in the community.
ADULT VOLUNTEERING:
-
We have hosted 5 Youth and Community work students on placement from University of Wales Trinity Saint David this year.
-
We attract adult volunteers through our membership of CAVS.
-
Our Trustees and Management Committee continue to volunteer their time and expertise. We are currently seeking new Trustees to add value to the team.
ADDITIONAL YOUTH SERVICES:
We have an SLA with Carmarthenshire County Youth Support Services to deliver youth club sessions in the town and provide a space for their weekly, post 16 drop-in service. The building offers activities for young carers and a group of adopted young people when Dr Mz is not utilising the building.
Carmarthen Rock Project uses the building every Sunday offering rock school sessions to young people providing subsidised places for those who are in receipt of benefits.
CONSULTING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE:
Using Digital and face to face methods, we have ensured that we are responsive to the needs of young people in the programme of activities we offer. We have utilised our Facebook and Instagram accounts to ask young people what they wanted from our services.
We have developed a number of surveys and discussion groups this year to develop our Grow it Cook It Project, our LGBTQ+ Project and asked young people to be involved in redesigning areas of the building.

2) Provision of a leisure facility
Attendance and usage of the facility:
Attendance of the youth project has increased this year due to the easing of restrictions in May 2021. We believe that we were able to work more intensively with those who utilised the Project as we have an increased number of staff this year.
Dr Mz saw 249 young people participate this year with 169 drop-in sessions.
As well as the young people we work with and record, we hire the facility out to other youth organisations and businesses including Adoption UK, Carmarthenshire Young Adult Carers, Theatre Groups, QE High School, a youth orchestra and Carmarthen Rock Project
This would serve an additional 80-100 young people.

Digital Youth Project
The Digital Project was funded by Santander at the end of this year for 3 years to deliver Digital and Financial Literacy to young people.
At the beginning of the year we were still in lockdown which meant online activities including e-safety and fun with escape rooms, as well as training for online gaming. We created a Discord channel for members to safely chat to each other and game together
in preparation for future online gaming tournaments against Spectrum Gaming (an gaming youth group for young people with Autism) and Cardiff Youth Service
The young people took part in British Science Week and learned about coding and turning any item that could conduct electricity into a button! (fruit, a person!)
Geocaching was an exciting project this year with young people hiding containers for others to find.
10
A Podcasting Project saw young people interviewing our President, Comedian and Broadcaster, Elis James at the Centre and also visiting Yr Egin, the S4C building.
Skills in Coding, geocaching and Internet Safety were the highlights of the year.
The Digital Project set up a media team to create social media, audio and video content for Youth Work Week asking young people and staff what they thought about youth work. They edited and made a Canva Presentation to celebrate our Summer Activities Programme and created planetary promises content for Earth Day.
51 Young people took part in Digital sessions
58 Sessions were delivered

Health and Well-Being - "Balance Project"
The new Balance Project is being funded by the Garfield Weston Foundation for two years.

We started a walk to Tokyo for the Olympics. Packs including alarm clocks, stress balls and arts were sent out.
Our youth worker has been supporting two young people through difficult circumstances on a two to one basis. They have been making memory boxes with one after Dad was ill and passed away.
Twice Weekly activities have included Zumba, bathbomb making, welly planters and more. The Plan UK Project to increase the self confidence of girls by teaching them male dominated skills started. Our girls group decided on painting and decorating and woodwork making planters and planning to decorate the bathrooms.
We also took part in a Carmarthenshire consultation for young people's Mental Health
needs in the County.

4) Credibility and Communication
Our work to give young people a voice and credibility within the wider community is underpinned by a number of core projects, namely our ‘Life – Skills – Resilience’ and ‘Grow It, Cook It, Transform It’ projects.
L-S-R Life-Skills-Resilience Project
The Life-Skills-Resilience Project, funded by BBC Children in Need, is designed to create opportunities for young people, to learn and improve their skills and their abilities and strengthens the link to their community through volunteering and offering a youth forum space to communicate their wants and needs.
These skills are transferable and support them into adulthood. Each hour of volunteering, young people receive a Tempo Time Credit, which can then be used to claim an hour of something nice, ie. a trip, an activity or service with Dr Mz or across Carmarthenshire, Wales and the UK for activities such as bowling, the leisure centre, theatre as well as subscriptions to Netflix and more.
This year we started in lockdown but young people went litter-picking on their daily exercise, baked for neighbours and contributed to Random Acts of Kindness in their community.
We delivered workshops which included copper art, dance, drama, circus skills, cycling, making music, wood carving and paining and decorating.
We made things to sell at our stalls, took part in the a Surfers Against Sewage coastal litter-pick, built a solar powered bench for the public outside our centre

The young people were able to participate in trips as a thank you for their community work. It also provide opportunities they wouldn’t normally have had these included a residential to Bristol, stay away, fireworks display, Christmas dinner, trip to Swansea and a range of active trips over the summer.
We have also been able to give time credit opportunities to improve the building with our Fix It project which redecorated both the male and females toilets along with the quiet room. This was all young person led and they had their voice heard with regards to what they wanted to see happen in the building.
The young people have been fundraising again to keep Dr Mz running.

5) Participation
We are driven by the core objective of improving young people’s participation in the community. Some of the key ways in which we achieve this, includes
Grow It - Cook It - Transform It Project
Grow It Cook It Transform it has involved the young people by raising their awareness of the environment and of improving their health through eating food we have grown collectively.
It has also been instrumental in involving the young people in their community through maintaining our planters in the town and inviting the community in to experience our allotment garden through a variety of sales and events.
We have been able to involve local food businesses this year eg. Shaken and Stirred, Myrddin Heritage, Sloppy Joe's and others.
Digital Youth Project

-
Carmarthenshire Museum - working together to develop projects. Yr Egin (S4C) - Podcasting, broadcasting and other projects.

We have been running the group twice monthly with three staff throughout this year.
The young people have said they want a weekly group and we are fundraising to try to make that happen.
The project is growing and there have been lots of exciting activities this year including logo design, games, a Queer Panto, climbing wall trip, self portraits with Annabelle, a Trans artist and working together with Oriel Gallery to make a giant conch shell for the Cragen Beca event in Carmarthen.
They are taking part in lots of activities including pizza and a film in the garden, arts and crafts, games nights, quizzes and utilising the space in the project with pool, music and gaming.

The group is becoming increasingly popular and we have increasing numbers of children attending.
We have secured funding from BBC Children in Need for three years to deliver this group. Throughout the year we have delivered activities including cooking, gardening, arts and crafts, sports, dance, music and lots more.

Despite the building being closed at the beginning of the year, we managed to continue youth club online and were able to deliver resources to young people to enable them to participate in sessions.
We saved heating and water costs while closed and we also have PV Solar Panels that support our income.
We utilise Dolen Teifi Community vehicles and minibuses which are electric.
Our garden project uses composting and our kitchen utilises surplus supermarket food through Neighbourly.
We raised £6284 from premises hire.
We employed 13 staff in the year 2021 to 2022

To support our provision of a leisure facility, the following fundraising events have taken place over the past 12 months.

Thank You!
Finally, a huge “Thank you” to all those who supported Carmarthen Youth Project this year.
Thanks to our Honorary President, comedian, radio broadcaster, actor and one of Dr M’z founding members, Elis James, who has continued to support us through profile raising, raising funds and helping us to make connections throughout Wales and beyond.
Without the support you all give, we would find it very difficult to continue the project.
