months we have consislenlly mainlained regular contact wilh 1.179 children and ywng people on raising
asplrallons, Increasing confidence, bullding positive relation3hips, and adding something back lo the community.
However. the impact of delivering seNth3 lo th6 most vulnerable childien and young peoF4e in North
M8nchesler in the heart of the COVID - 19 pandemic, has transformed the way that the voluntary sector as a
whole 8nd Manchester Youth Zone specifically ha5 delivered Ils servlce8.
Whllsl m8ny organisalions were Slopping and scaling down Ihelr aclivllles. Manchester Youth Zone were able
lo adapt and scale up aclivily, inilially digllally and then as soon 88 po$slb18 through socially dlslanced me8$ure$
both outside in community sett4ng8 and inskle the bulldlng when rogulallon8 allowed us to rfropen our door.

dellvered so they could cook along81de our youth workersl. glrl group8 and many more. Durlng th8 lasl 12
months we have learnt a great deal about drfferenl ways lo en9age with young people. We now have 81ronger
connecllons wrth parents and have intensified our 8UPPOrt wllh young p8ople wllh addillonal needs who have
partkyJlarty 81ruggled with the Impac18 of lockdown and L￿k of roullro.
Only or* known wsf(Ne case ol COVIO- 19 has been thnlrfied at MYZ, despite Manche8ler being con81816nlly
dl8d in Govwnment Statistics as one of the hardest COVID-19 hrt areas, We had minimal (li3nJptlon lo aclNil

relevant parents, sGhool$ and wkler 9lakeholder5 were Informed, and operalw)ns re8umed 88 norm
Immediately after thi5 period
Many children and young people allendlng the youth zone currently have had their needs exacerbated and have
additional adversity since the pandemic. Food poverty continues lo be 8 kay factor and Manchester Youth Zone
has provlded free hot food al all youth sessions to slarl lo address thi8 and have delivered over 300 food boxes
to families In need in the community. We also have a food panty where thildron con take addhlon81 food home
to parent$ where we know access lo fc*)d Is Ilmiled.
Chrtdfen and families have b8en hil hardest in relalion to Ihelr mental health 8n(I wellbeing and our Safe Zone

Our member5 from Black. Asian and wider ethnic communilies faced additional adversity. wllh slgnificant
backlash to Black Lives Matter. the di3proportional8 adverse impact of COVID - 19 to som8 Black and Asian
communilies and more recently the raci51 abuse that England foolball players received. Therefore. working
alongsmje our Black Asian and elhnic minority led community partners has been an essential way of tackling
Ihese issues and ensuring Ihal the young people from these communitE$ who engage in our organisalion are
supported and safewarde(l and hamiful narratives are txkled.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
We have also focussed on encouraglng sport and increasing physical activity, recognising th81 this is a key factor
In supportin9 and improving children and young people'5 mental health and self*sleem, and helping them regain
fitness and maintain health post lo¢kdown.
Elghl-eight children and young people have taken parl in regular mounlaln biking ridès across the Northwest to
stay active during th8 pandemic. Whilst an additional 37 girls look part in an 8-week programmo 'This Gifl Can,
aimed to increase In participation in sport from girls includlNJ boxing, dance, basketball, climbing and wider
8clivilles. The programrne has also provided a safe space for young women lo talk about a range of topics Ihal
have included gocial media pressures, sexual haras$rnent and abuse, feminism and supporting other young
women, health and hygiene and sexual health and healthy relationships. We have seen strong supportive
friendships develop with young people havlng confidence to lake risks and ty new thlng$.
A further 84 young peop16 have achleved their 20 hrs + sports engagemenl through our Active Youth programme
and of those 17 young people have completed the active leaders programme where they have developed their
8kllls in sports coachlng and have gained a qualification. They are now acting as peer sports leaders in all
8es8lons 8cr08s the youth zone Inspiring others to lake part in youth activities.
A8 we look fo￿ard lo a world post COVID it Is 88sential that our young people are supported lo engage in good
quallty &ducalion and employment opportunities. We laid the groundwork over the past 12 month$ by Investing
n 3 new Career8 and Enterprise Initiallve6 that have proved highly successlul.
The M8kerspace Workshop operated as a I￿ space for young people to learn about crafting, engineering, and
trying Iheir hand8 al creating new things. It features a 3D Printer, a Vinyl Culler. an Ink Jel printer, and the
posslblllty for young people lo explore a wide range of resources- such as resin, silicone, lexliles, wood, foam
elc. whlch they may wl$h to turn into a personal project. or a small business. The aim and idea of this initiative
being lo allow young people a safe Space atKI support to uncov6r skills an¢J inlere51s that may contribute lo their
current or future career chol¢es- may thls be a job, or 8 small bu$lne$s.
Th8 Le8mlng Kllch8n provld8d a safe profe$$lonal environment for young people to galn cooking, nulrilion,
budgellng, meal planning, independent Ilvlng, and hospilalily skills. It is also a space where young ￿ople learn
key skllls lo h8lp them flnd part lime employment in catering, or where they may try a food related busines5 id8a.
Our programme Hatch Talent helped 14-17year-old5 in North Manchester develop their c8re6r management
and enlTepreneurSal skllls by supportlng their small business ventures. The pro5ecl allowed young peopl8 lo lesl
and trade a buslness idea whllsl receiving support lo build their employability portfolio. At the end of a cohort,
young people choosing lo develop their businesses further were invlled lo a Business Shower where they may
receive further funding, mentoring or professional support from Manchester businesses and access to
Manchester Rlsing Stars grants. So far 32 young people have engaged in Hatch Talent.
Our Junlor Cholces programme reached 73 young people over the year who became even more vulnerable to
chlld criminal exploitallon- all growing in their own self-confidence, being $afeguarded, protected and developing
resilience to be pogltive and Contribute lo their communities.
Manchester Youth Zone has continued lo work with partners in North Manchester developing partnershlp bids
that dislrSbuled over £400,000 of funding lo 20 small Community groups and l am pleased lo see the additional
resource9 that have been allracted lo North Manchester from a real partnership of thought and action working
together. Without th8 SUPPOrt of Manchester Youth Zon8 many of these partner agencies tell us they would not
have made it through the funding crisis they faced during the pandemic.
We conllnue to be incredibly grateful to our sponsors and business supporters who continued to understand the
need for investment in Manchester YoLrth Zone and helped us lo scale up activity and reach families most in
need. This places us in a strong position to continu8 lo deliver support in what is likely to be ¥ challenging
finanGial landscape moving forward. The COVID - 19 pandemic has demonslraled that rather than focusing in
on their own concerns. local businesses continue lo look towards the future by providing much needed support
lo our charity.

The exlenl of the need was such that we were taken aback. with Several parents commenting that we were the

lockdown éifficull - in week two of lockdown, 600h ol young people reported they were finélng lockdown 'really
tough,, and individual conversations with young people and their families highlighted the fa¢1 that the long8r11
went on, the higher this figure would become.
Young people wllh additional needs and Ihelr f8mllie8 found the change in rout1￿, and being at home,
partlcu18dy dlfflcull lo cope with. Not being al school presented many of Ihem with issues of being so¢lally
Isolated. Llke many, young people acros¥ the city were facing 80me of their darkest days - unable to see

hardest. For lols of people, home is a sanctuary and a place to e3cap8 to at the end of a long day at work,
School, or college- bul that's not always the case. MYZ took on the role of ensuring that our adapted digital
offer kept young people feellng ¢onneoled, engag8d, and entertained.
We supported these young people and their families on an almost dally basis with wellbeing phone

MYZ provided a number of labl&ts, laptops and WIFI Inlemel access packages.
Young people exp8fiencing a huge degree of stress due lo thelr transitions and exams being impacted
and not knowing what to do next gave rise lo an increase in young people disillusioned about their
future prospects. Through our careers adviser we provided a great deal of additional support lo those
young people in Year 11 and Year 13 who's plans were totally disrupted.
As lockdown continued, many more young people took risks when using social medla. thls resulted in more

worker wilh these young people some of whom were belng trafficked across greater Manchester and then
North of England.
Throughoul Ihe first period of lockdown lo July we had to manage a different demand from young people an
families, working wilhoul the resource of a centre, working online, or detsched and the uncertainly of longer-
term budget, making difficult decisions to spend staff resource on front line young person and family facing
staff, or lo exploit the Job Retention scheme. This period was, for everyorie concerned. the most demandlng,
and for those who worked. a period of stress in managin9 totally new siluallons.
From July we were able to open again in a managed fashlon, understanding bubb105 and SIgn￿1¢an11Y 811erin9
the use of the building and ils resource8 to ensure we were able to op8rale In a Covid secure manner. We
¢onlinued lo see the trend of challenges for young people and Ihelr families - Isolallon, increased risk of child
criminal exploitslion, lack of routsne resulting in anxiety.
Holiday hunger and food poverty has, for our young people and famllies, been ever present and the reluctance
of government and the stslulory partner5 to move quickly and sensitively wa3 v8ry apparent. Throughout the
summer with the generous support of MoneyPlus and CarFin8nce247, we operated our Hollday Hunger
programme during the day and evening, providing meals and a programme of aclivilies. We provided famlly
food parcels with m6al plans. and went on. thanks to an addlllonal donallon, lo develop a food pantry where
we could support parents- allowing privacy and incredlbly Inslghfful conversations into addltional naeds for
support and challenges that families were faclrvJ.
Nèw way8 of worklng
Following government guldanc8 and trylng to keep our young people and communilles safe meant
dramalically changing the way we work away from an open acces5 yOLilh centre where young peoplo could
(iirect their own 8¢tivlty.
What we could offer w88 slgnmlcanlly diff8renl we needed to have a dlscrele activSty lor around 45 minutes and
young people could only allend ty Snvllalion, lo ensu￿ we could Ir8¢k and trace If requlr8d and In smaller
numbers wllh no more Ih8n a few group5 In the building al on¢e.
For the flrst lime we were not tsking new members, we needed lo support Ihose yourwJ people we already had
and try to accommodate their needs.
Staff were challenged to work very differently, to work In bubbles 8nd to deal with Ihelr own issu&s around th8
pandemlc.
Our work again for the firsl tlme was not universal bul was diTrcte¢J to work only with those young people and
families in greatest need. We fortunately had a great deal of expertise in this area on which lo build, and in
taking our work forward il stood us in a very strong p0511ion in both d81ivering work but also being a ready-
made programme for funders who were now in a posltion lo respond 10 5UPPOrt organlsalions. young people,
families and partner8hlps.
The period from January to March being fully funded enabled us lo develop new ways of worklng, in particular
around enterprise, bringing in 8pecialisl staff and cr&allng an excillng and new offer.
Stafflng
Staff cdlaboration at a tlme when, more than 50% w8re Yurfoughed.. w8 were in the midst of redundancy
consultation and staff were dealing with new technology and demands, was challenging for all concerned -
new ways of communication were eskblished, and lesson$ are still being learned around understanding the

Whilst it might have been easler for organlsalions lo solely thlnk about seff-preserv81ion and survlval, tho

A significant area of work that partners responded lo was w￿h those young people with additional needs- for
a number of partners. these young people make up a signrficanl portion of their members, and il was very
apparent that they needed more support than any of us could provlde- We love Manchester was able to
respond lo this. and enabled partners to fund dtfferenl Int8rvenlDns and programmes for this group of young
