## **CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT** 

I am grateful to present the Annual Report for Carmarthen Youth Project (Dr Mz) for 2022 to 2023. A year where we are getting back into the full delivery of youth work after all restrictions were lifted. 

Trustees and I are humble with the work that has been carried out during the year by our staff and volunteers. Such amazing and dedicated work from all involved. Without you, we would not be able to provide a much-needed service to young people. 

A big loss to the project happened end of 2022. After 25 years of service as manager to Dr. M’z we said goodbye to Gayle Harris. Gayle started as one of the original members of staff employed by the Trustees. Over the years she ensured the project moved with the times, as well as moving to several locations to fit the demands of the project. Gayle was a local voice of young people but also nationally respected within the field of youth work. 

We welcome Alison Harbor as our new Project Manager in the new financial year. Our youth work and services would not materialise without the support of our funders from various Trusts and national funders. We are also supported by local businesses and others from Carmarthen Town Council, Dyfed Powys Police & Crime Commissioner, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, and Carmarthenshire County Council. Without the support that you show us, we would be unable to achieve such outcomes for the young people within our community. 

We appreciate the work that our Honorary President, Elis James does for us. Again, this year, he has supported us through promoting and fundraising for Dr Mz. 

The report shows the various projects we have offered over the last year 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.

## **FINANCE & FACILITY MANAGER’S REPORT** 

This year we said goodbye to our Manager Gayle Harris who has been part of the Dr Mz team for 25 years. She will be missed by young people, the team and our wider partners in the community. We welcomed Andre McPherson as the new manager for a six-month period and wish him well for his future. 

Dr Mz has had a busy year growing our membership and supporting our young people moving forward from lockdowns and getting back to a new normal. We are still reliant largely on grant funding and the cost of living crisis has affected our young people, our organisation and the community. We continue to increase our resilience by sustainably generating income from our youth café, room hire and fundraising events. 

One of the highlights for me last year was our quiz and curry night which raised just under £500 and I would like to thank our young people and the wider community for all their support. 

We would also like to thank Elis James our Honorary president for his continued support – Diolch yn Fawr Elis. 

As a team, we look forward to continuing to provide a safe space for young people as well as empowering them to lead our project. 

I would like to thank everyone who has supported us in the last year, Dr Mz wouldn’t be here without you �

## ABOUT DR MZ 


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 and to feel valued in society. We provide a safe and stimulating environment for young people to meet, interact and participate in their community. 

## **OUR FACILITIES** 

Our drop-in centre is open 5 days a week with groups for various ages from 8-25 year olds. We have a wide range of facilities including a commercial kitchen and cafe seating, hall and stage with professional sound and lighting, a well-equipped digital suite of PCs and laptops, a quiet room (The Cwtch) and a classroom. We rent out the space to a wide range of community organisations, who engage with young people in Carmarthen.

## **HEALTH AND WELLBEING** 

The Balance project funded by Garfield Weston has worked with 148 young people over the last year. We were able to deliver 79 sessions over the course of the year including wellness crafts, healthy cooking sessions, wellbeing workshops and sports/fitness sessions. 

One of the most successful activities was a series of football sessions at Carmarthen Leisure Centre. Through consultation, young people highlighted the lack of free sports and physical activities available to them so our Health & Wellbeing Youth Worker sourced some additional funding to pay for the 12-week project. Over the course of the project, 36 individual young people attended sessions. We saw an improvement in behaviour, teamwork and relationships between young people. 

Last Christmas, young people created products for a Christmas stall including fudge, candles, wax melts and Christmas cards. These mindful activities helped young people to relax and be creative. It also gave them an opportunity to volunteer and interact with their community. 

During the year, we have also been able to offer young people experiences outside of our centre. These adventurous activities helped young people to develop their confidence, self-esteem and gave them the opportunity to try new things. We visited Wild Lakes in Pembrokeshire for a water assault course, went on excursions to the beach and got extremely muddy at Aspirations Outdoor Adventures.

## **LIFE SKILLS AND RESILIENCE** 


The Life-Skills-Resilience Project, funded by BBC Children in Need, aims to empower young people by providing opportunities to develop practical skills, strengthen community ties, and boost their overall well-being. 

Through volunteering initiatives, youth forums, and earning Tempo Time Credits, participants can access a range of enriching experiences. 

Over the past year, students have participated in cooking, gardening, litter picks, local fundraising efforts, and crafting activities to support their community. In return, they have redeemed their earned credits for exciting excursions across Carmarthenshire, such as bowling at Xcel Bowl or seeing a film at The Lyric, and across the UK. 

The young people developed their resilience on a residential trip to Cardiff where they got stuck into a wide range of activities including an exhilarating speedboat ride, minigolf and . Despite many nerves about seasickness everyone got on the boats and had a great time. 

By facilitating these meaningful growth experiences, the Life-Skills-Resilience Project plants seeds of self-sufficiency in youth that will continue to serve them into adulthood.

## **DIGITAL LITERACY** 

In June, we welcomed back our Digital Lead Youth Worker, funded by Santander Financial and Digital Empowerment Fund, to support young people in developing essential digital literacy skills. Since June 2022, 60 digital sessions were delivered including gaming, digital citizenship, video editing, supporting young people to complete ASDAN qualifications and consultations on future projects. These sessions reached 89 participants across 80 hours of delivery. 

Gaming sessions utilised platforms like Jackbox.tv and Roblox to encourage collaborative play and model healthy gaming habits. Sessions addressed gaming rage, online safety, and communication. Digital citizenship workshops from YouTube Be Internet Citizens and Ditch the Label discussed disinformation, self-esteem, hacking, and cyberbullying. We had some fantastic debates around freedom of speech and the impact of their words on others. Productivity software sessions enabled young people to create presentations, posters, and videos using Canva, Google Docs, and video editing. We created presentations and badge designs for the Green Experience open day, designed posters for our time capsule which is now buried in the Dr Mz garden and assisted young people in using Google Docs and Google Sheets to complete their ASDAN Foodwise short course. With the help of Yr Egin and Carlam Productions, young people recorded and edited a promotional video highlighting all that Dr Mz has to offer which is on our website homepage. Our social media team supported staff in creating content across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. We have consulted with young people where else they would like a Dr Mz presence online and we are hoping to roll out content on YouTube and Discord in the coming year. 

Using funding from Warburton's, we converted two exercise bikes into Virtual Bikes which used Google Maps to enable virtual exploration worldwide. Young people enjoyed visiting childhood neighborhoods, exotic destinations, and finding routes home. The bikes were featured at Queen Elizabeth High School’s Christmas Fayre and our Green Experience open day. Building the bikes provided hands-on experience in wiring, coding in C++, debugging, and developing resilience. 




10 



## **COOK IT** 


Over the last year, the Cook It project has delivered 69 cooking-related sessions to 144 young people. 

Young people have learned to cook a wide range of meals from traditional homecooked meals like pies, stews and roasts to more exotic dishes exposing them to a wide range of ingredients and flavours. Young people have been encouraged to cook using recipes and also to take part in cooking challenges using surplus food donations, 

The Cook It project has enabled our young people to gain and improve their skills within the kitchen. They have developed skills in the preparation and cooking of meals to be served in our Youth Cafe. Young people have also had the opportunity to learn safe practices for working in a kitchen including cleaning routine, health and safety of handling food and kitchen paperwork. This has given our young people experiences that they can carry forward in their personal and professional lives. 

We have been able to create dishes with our homegrown produce, grown in the Dr Mz garden, to create healthy meals and products to generate income for the project. During the year, we held several bake sales and a quiz and curry night which was very well attended by the community. Our young people have been able to try new foods as well as learn about the different ways in which meals can be created. This project is has been very popular with our young people. Not only can they learn but they also have the opportunity to volunteer with us and earn Time Credits.

## **GROW IT & THE GREEN EXPERIENCE** 

The Green Experience project was launched on January 1st 2023. Over the period, we delivered 38 sessions, engaging 104 young people in outdoor experiences. 

The project kicked off with a launch and open day for members, parents and the community to come and see our green space and learn more about the project. It was very well attended and young people served food made with garden produce and ran a stall selling plants, growing kits and products made with upcycled pallets. We also buried a time capsule in the garden and planted a tree to mark it’s location. 

Two young people were employed as the young garden assistants for the project. With training and advice from no dig gardener, Stephanie Hafferty, the young people created a productive planting space to grow produce to eat and to sell. They engaged with several training opportunities including no dig gardening, apple tree grafting and green woodworking. 

They supported young people to plant and maintain the garden space and linked in with Cegin Hedyn to donate excess produce to be used in the community pay what you can kitchen. 

Young people got involved with several projects within the community, including litter picks, weeding in a graveyard and helped to plant an orchard and a commemorative woodland. We utilised our outdoor space as much as possible to encourage young people to spend time outside. We foraged for edible plants and used them to cook new and exciting dishes and also had bbq’s and cooked food in our pizza oven.

## **TRANSITIONZ** 


This year, our project session for 8-10 year olds, making the transition to secondary school engaged 76 young people over 43 sessions. During the summer holidays, 15 of our members made the move to our main Youth Drop-In, making room for lots of new members. 

Throughout our programme this year, we delivered sessions including crafts, fundraising, community engagement, gardening and cooking. We celebrated World Earth Day by making a piece of artwork using handprints. The children took part in a sponsored walk fundraiser in fancy dress around Carmarthen Velodrome raising £130. 

Throughout the year, young people have been regularly litter picking outside the centre and surrounding areas, helping to keep our community tidy. We visited Abergwili Museum in Spring and Autumn where the young people really enjoyed the opportunity to be amongst nature. 

Other trips included a day out on the train to Tenby where young people had the opportunity to experience travelling on public transport and managing their own money. We also visited St Fagan’s National Museum of History and went on a trip to Llansteffan beach. 





13 




## **LGBQT+** 

The LGBTQ+ project has continued to develop and grow and we have been able to expand our delivery as our numbers have increased. We now run weekly sessions on a Monday evening and have run 39 sessions, engaging 49 young people. 

During the sessions, we have delivered a range of mental health workshops, had local artists coming in to do sessions and we went on our first residential to Cardiff. The trip included speedboating, high rope climbing, ice skating and exploring Cardiff Bay. This was many of the young people’s first experience of being away from home and the feedback from parents was that young people had really benefitted from the experience. 

One of the most popular activities this year has grounded aerial, a bungee, dancing session. The sessions have been very popular and we have returned 5 times due to how much the young people enjoyed the experience. 





14 



## **LITTLE MZ** 


Little Mz has continued to go from strength to strength this year and it has been so rewarding to see the group develop. We have supported 14 families throughout the year. 

Our weekly sessions have included crafts, messy play, cooking, gardening, soft play and skill learning. 

We have been able to offer a number of trips outside of the centre which have included Gateway Resort swimming pool, Carmarthen Town Park, Sgiliau Play Centre, Folly Farm and Toby Carvery. 

We organised a bingo evening and a meal out so the parents could socialise with each other and begin building a positive community and stronger support network. 

We are keen to continue with the sessions after the funding comes to an end in October. We will be looking for funding to continue the project.
