## **Templesprings**
## **Vision Statement**
We want to be part of bringing change to our community, improving outcomes for our clients, enabling them to recognise and fulfil their potential to build a worthwhile future, nurture quality relationships and in so doing enrich their lives and affect others for good.
## **Mission**
Our mission is to inspire confidence in people, by helping them shape the total person who has a clear picture of who they are; knows what they want from life and how to get it.
## **Aims**
In practice, it aims to deliver the objects of the Charity through the achievement of four strategic aims:
1. To inspire young people and their families to fulfil their potential, using music and the arts as a gateway to transforming their lives.
2. To provide quality music coaching and support for those who want to learn how to play a musical instrument.
3. To engage young people in mentoring and social action activities, building their skills, confidence and resilience for the future whilst tackling youth unemployment.
4. To make coaching accessible to individuals, enabling them to take personal responsibility for their future such as making healthier choices about lifestyle and promoting their overall mental wellbeing.
## **Background**
Templesprings is a coaching organisation and registered Charity based in Grays, Essex. Since 2008, we have been delivering a wide range of services including music lessons, creative workshops, coaching sessions, which have now engaged thousands of families, children, and young people.
We work with people who want to access professional coaching services for personal development; those who are seeking career transition, who wish to make significant changes in their lives; people who are feeling less confident and want to gain transferrable life skills.
Templesprings has helped produce young musicians locally and nationally. Our youth led music programs are lively, dynamic, and interactive. They include group classes in schools, faith organisations, and short intensive classes for individuals. Our focus is on inspiring and getting the young person to have fun whilst learning to play and participate in music making.
Music is our powerful engagement tool for connecting with young people, and promoting their participation in creative, social, and volunteering opportunities, which build their skills, confidence and resilience for the future. We ensure your hard work is rewarded by valuable qualifications regardless of your age or musical ability. Templesprings supports participants to attain Arts Awards Certificates (Discover, Explore, Bronze, Silver, and Gold level) and Rock School Graded exams.
Once they have participated in music and the arts, many of the young people remain engaged with our charity long term through our C3 Youth Program in roles such as peer mentors, volunteer session tutors, summer camp and holiday club youth leaders. As such, our charity now has more than 30 regular volunteers, most of whom are aged between 13 and 19 years of age.
Through our C3 Youth Program, Templesprings positively impacts the lives of young people (mentees) by aligning mentees with well informed, caring, and experienced role models (mentors); We provide Barclays Life Skills Training, work placements for the local college students, skills and volunteering opportunities for Duke of Edinburgh Program, so as to:
- Build confidence and self-esteem
- Bridge the 'Aspiration Gap' in young people
- Help them overcome barriers to learning and/or employment
- Help individuals take personal responsibility for their future including making healthier choices about lifestyle
Our programs bring families and the wider community together to celebrate young people's achievement and help them develop all round emotional, physical, and social well-being, using music and the arts as a gateway to transforming their lives.

## **Templesprings**
## **Achievements and Performances in the Period**
## **Partnership Essex Community Foundation (ECF)**
We received a grant from ECF (alongside match funding from Royal Opera House Bridge) which enabled our team to deliver ‘Mini Mixers’ music sessions for children up to five years in Grays. Mini Mixers was developed to promote early years learning (particularly musical enjoyment, creativity, motor skills/cognitive development and listening/learning skills) and set children on a positive path of arts engagement and creativity.
Our project was developed in consultation with local early years practitioners throughout 2021/22, which found that many lack confidence/knowledge to deliver effective and engaging music activities for children. Our pilot study (enabled through Essex Community Foundation’s funding) supported delivery and evaluation of three Mini Mixers sessions (delivered by ten early career Early Years professionals), and subsequent reflective practice sessions to understand challenges for tutors and examine their feedback on children’s learning/engagement.
This led to the creation of five new downloadable Mini Mixers lesson plans, adapted for specific age groups (e.g. 1-2s, 3-4s, and 4-5s groups). We have also developed best practice resources including - expanded list of recommended instruments; lists of recommended songs for singing, clapping, chanting, structured dance and accompanying with percussion; and ideas for sensory based games.
One Teaching Assistant ‘Sam’ described herself as “not musical at all” and in our consultations shared how she found delivering/supporting music activities with young children to be very daunting.
Many of the children she works with are from disadvantaged backgrounds, and were under enormous stress during the pandemic, during which time the emotional wellbeing/behaviour of some young children suffered.
Sam found it hard to support children with music activities, particularly with child-directed play with small instruments, with which she herself was largely unfamiliar.
Her previous experiences of these sessions were that children would become bored and inattentive very quickly, leaving her feeling frustrated.
Sam reported that the learning resources developed by Templesprings were helpful in structuring the music sessions and provided many new ideas for activities that she had not previously considered. In particular, she reported that the Templesprings Music characters featured in the lesson materials were helpful in increasing her understanding of basic terms (tempo, pitch, rhythms etc.) whilst also providing valuable tools to help maintain children’s interest, engagement, and positive learning outcomes from sessions. Sam is now co-facilitating weekly music/movement sessions at her workplace and would feel confident to plan similar activities by herself. She reports that these sessions are extremely enjoyable for the children and something they look forward to.

## **Partnership -Thurrock Mind**
Changing people’s lives through personalised care – The Thurrock Story. Templesprings continues to work with the Youth Facilitator for positive pathways to transition the young people who have been receiving mental health support back to the community. Some of the young people had no access to creative opportunities and were introduced to Templesprings.
A total of 240 music sessions (including drums, keys, guitar) were delivered to 20 YOUNG MINDS. Templesprings also supported the young people through work experience and participating in holiday club activities. The young people experienced and reported on the following outcomes: They no longer struggled alone; Built better relationships; Learnt how to use music and the arts as coping strategies.
**Volunteers and Gift in Kind:** We are so grateful for our trustees, the community of professionals, young people and parents who continually volunteer their time to support the work we do in the community. Around 30 people provided a total of 1,800 volunteering hours. Their Gift in Kind contribution to the organisation is worth £23,400.
Through grant funding, we have supported 41 children aged (8-12) and nine young volunteers (13+) through programming which has included summer holiday 'music camp' provision, local excursions and term time music tuition and other Arts Award accredited learning.
Our holiday excursions featured a day of dinghy sailing, outdoor theatre and team building activities at Grange water
Outdoor Education Centre and plenty of energetic trampolining at Flip Out. Additional half term provision included music studio recording projects, in which young people recorded 6 their favourite pop covers and Christmas carols, whilst learning about the audio recording process and studio engineering/postproduction.
In total we have delivered 312 hours of music tuition and arts award support, 274 hours of music camp programming and 14 hours of group excursion activity.

## **Templesprings**
## **Partnership - Active Essex Holiday Food Program**
Our partnership with Active Essex sponsored by the government (DfE) HAF Programme, ran FREE face to face clubs during the school holidays for children and young people who are eligible for benefits based free school meals, as well as those from low income working families who would benefit from this extra support. This partnership meant we could ensure 150+ children (primary, secondary and SEN) accessed over the course of the 3 Holiday Clubs nutritious meals and sports to complement their music activities, leveraging match funding from Dept of Education.
HAF was a great success, with all the children leaving the programme feeling more confident, active and with smiles on their faces. We saw a lot of confidence gained in every child, whether it be in music, arts & craft, sports games, taking part in activities, forming friendships, especially when compared to how quiet and shy they were at the start. They were also not afraid to express their opinions, interests, likes/dislikes, which shows they feel comfortable with each other, the staff members in a safe environment.
The difference in energy and attitude from when they arrived to when they leave, was substantial. Starting the day quiet and reserved to leaving with big smiles and lots of energy, excited to come back the next day. Some of the children managed to excel in certain activities that we provided, mainly with music. With some parents enquiring to sign them up for music lessons next year.

## **Partnership -** Comic Relief Community Fund (CRCF)
We received a grant of £10,000 from CRCF to build capacity and enabled us to deliver our ‘Audio Ambition’ programme which engaged 40 children (primarily 8-12 years) from vulnerable families, who have been educationally disadvantaged by the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis. Over the duration of the project, the children accessed:
1) Term-time music scholarships (evenings/weekends) – weekly coaching in drums, keyboards, or guitar at Templesprings centre (with remote learning options also). According to individual need/age, sessions will be one-to-one or in small groups (2-3 children). Our unique tutoring approach focuses on learning ‘by ear’, enabling children to quickly develop and perform a basic repertoire of music fairly quickly. This helps build confidence and motivation to continue developing skills. Children also had digital learning resources to support their practice and self-directed learning at home, empowering them as independent learners and helping improve literacy/comprehension skills.
2) School holiday activities – children were helped to develop confidence and interpersonal skills through live music performance, leadership/volunteering activities and opportunities for accreditation including Arts Awards. Our ‘Music Camp’ programming during half terms/holidays, offers children a
range of exciting music and performing arts activities, arts and crafts, sports games, and more. We work in continued partnership with local/regional holiday food programmes to ensure children also access nutritious meals.
Children also had peer mentoring support from our ‘C3’ young volunteers, working with them in supporting local social action initiatives, which previously years included organising live concerts and befriending programmes for care home residents, and supermarket bag packing

services for the elderly. Peer-mentoring is our ‘tried and tested’ approach refined since 2015 and has proven highly effective in building self-esteem/interpersonal skills in less confident children – last year 90% of parents Strongly Agreed (10% Agreed) that their child had increased in confidence, and 95% Strongly Agreed (5% Agreed) that their child had developed new skills from activities co-delivered with positive young role models.

## **Arts Awards**
Arts Award inspires young people to grow their arts and leadership talents: it's creative, valuable and accessible. Through Arts Award, young people gain a nationally recognised qualification enabling them to progress into further education and employment. They not only gain art form knowledge and understanding but also develop leadership, creativity and communication skills.
Arts Award is a personal learning framework that accredits students’ individual development in the arts. Arts Award also provides measurable CPD opportunities for staff as well as enabling schools to make meaningful links with their local arts organisations, and vice versa. As an Arts Awards center, Templesprings puts up a lot of events for the children to access.
Delivered a ‘Winter Wonder Workshop’ where children:
- e xplored the composition of Christmas Carols - what makes them so magical?
Learnt the instruments used in Christmas-themed music

## **Templesprings Turns 15 and Summer Extravaganza**
We were thrilled to celebrate 15 years of Templesprings! A journey filled with inspiring stories and transformative experiences. At Templesprings, our mission is to utilise the power of music and the arts as a gateway to enriching the lives of children, young people, and their families in communities of Essex and Thurrock. We have impacted tens of thousands of individuals, fostering growth, creativity, and lasting memories.
We celebrated at our Annual Summer Extravaganza at West Tilbury village hall, ) which was attended by around 100 children, young people and parents/families. Approximately 20 Templesprings students and youth volunteers collaborated with our tutor team to put on a packed evening of music performances spanning everything from Harry Styles to John Lennon. Through this event we successfully promoted our summer programme and 'Young Scholars' programme to local families.
It was an absolute delight, leaving everyone in awe of the incredible talent displayed by your children in their music bands. From the very first note, it was evident that your children had put their heart and soul into their performances. Their passion for music shone through as they played melodies and harmonies, captivating all of us with their skills.

_Report of the Trustees on the Operation of the Charity for the long period ended 31 August 2023 (Continued)_
As the echoes of applause filled the air after the final performance, the annual Summer Extravaganza served as a brilliant reminder of the power of music and the positive impact it has on young minds. It was a celebration of not only the kids' musical talents but also of the strong bond between the children, parents, and the entire community that had come together to create something truly extraordinary. Thank you to every member of staff, volunteer, trustee's and carers who made the entire evening possible with tasty food, amazing decorations and their unmitigated efforts into making the performance a complete and utter success.

## **C3 Youth Programme:**
Our programme offered young people valuable opportunities for life skills coaching and workplace volunteering at Templesprings. It enabled them to work with a wide range of experienced coaches and mentors as well as Arts Awards support. Young people reported that the opportunities for regular volunteering and Arts Award accreditation were helping to allay their anxieties about their future – particularly around being able to find employment, which many young people were worried about. A total of 18 young people between the ages of 11-17 accessed a total of 1500 hours of support over 40 weeks of the year.

The C3 young people were entrepreneurial and worked on exciting business projects. The aim was to design a t-shirt theme based on a concept or interest. The design was made using vinyl printing, and they were all allocated group roles where everyone brainstormed on different ideas for the project. Skills gained included project management, marketing, design, accounting and creative skills as well as fund raising for the year's C3 Social Action Project.
**Work placements** : We worked in partnership with USP College and local secondary schools to host work experience placements for their students.
A total of 12 students on Music, Business Studies, Marketing and Technology courses were provided meaningful opportunities to experience more than 500 hours of work.
“I’ve learned from new experiences that I wouldn’t get in school or in my normal day to day life. I also get to meet lots of new kind people at Templesprings. Volunteering has helped me get used to a work environment at a young age, that will help me prepare for the future”.
“Templesprings has given me the opportunity to learn more about the world of work through volunteering. I have learnt the importance of communication and teamwork and have also made great relationships along the way. I really appreciate this opportunity, as it pushes me to develop in character, whilst doing the things that I am interested in.”

## **Public Benefit**
In shaping our objectives for the year, the trustees have considered the charity commission’s guidance on public benefit. This year we focused on improving outcomes for our clients and enriching their lives. These clients experienced significant shifts in confidence in their lives and attested to improved family relationships, and better work life balance.
1. **Social:** Increased employability, opportunity and confidence/wellbeing of young people; giving them increased resilience to mental ill-health and negative lifestyles such as crime/anti-social behaviour, gang involvement and other harms. Increased access to further education/training opportunities through UCAS accreditation, increased positive role models for young people in our community and increased cultural/creative opportunities for children, young people and local residents Grays. Increased community cohesion between young people and the wider Grays community.
2. **Economic:** Increased employment and reduced risk of NEET for young people from Black/BAME backgrounds. Increased affordable cultural opportunities for local young people and wide community. Increased scope to generate and grow valuable unrestricted income for our charity.
3. **Environmental:** Creating a safe, yet enjoyable/engaging ‘hub’ for young people to access valuable creative participation/training opportunities and to interact with positive peers/role models. Increased music recording opportunities for local musicians/performers and local residents just wanting to experience a recording studio.
We are an evidence-based organisation, and we continually evaluate our activity impact through a wide range of data collection methods. These include (quantitative) – Youth Outcomes Star, Youth Music Evaluation (including Agency & Citizenship Scale), and regular anonymised session feedback surveys and service satisfaction surveys with young people and parents.
Our qualitative data includes our regular focus groups, individual case studies, and interviews/observations from young people, coaches and parents. We also monitor ‘hard’ outcomes such as take up and completion of accreditation opportunities, and progression to work/further training.
We measure the impact of our project through the following metrics:
- Young people’s employability skills development (measured through interviews/focus groups, tutor observation and Arts Awards portfolios)
- Young people’s confidence, aspirations and wellbeing (measure as above and with Outcomes Star/Youth Music tools)
- Young people’s onward progression (evidenced through case study/interviews)
- Engagement with community (measured through analysis of community studio sales and customer feedback)
These are evidenced through our performances and achievements during this year.
