MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. I hope it is a good and successful year for you, your families and SCYPAN too. As Chair I wanted to say how much I admire the dedication of all the adults and young people involved in our local groups, despite the challenges and difficulties we are facing in the current climate, you have continued with dedication to our young people and the community. We have a wonderful ‘parkplay’ team, Shildon AFC CIC, Spectrum Roller-Skating Club, Running Clubs, Sports Groups, Scouts, Cubs, Brownies and Guide Groups, Jubilee Fields Community Centre and Shildon Youth supported by YMCA and Shildon Alive, drop ins, Mother and Toddler Groups and many more. This is not counting the After-School Groups the three primary schools in the town provide too. So, there is something for every young person of all ages. Thanks to all of our funders, and Shildon Town Council for supporting our youthwork and YMCA for delivering our SCYPAN Youth Group provision. A BIG THANKYOU to Shildon Town Council, the dedicated Town Councillors and local volunteers for making Christmas a magical experience for all, the Christmas Tree light switch on was wonderful. Thanks to all the careful planning and hard work from the Shildon Town Council and Civic Hall team, everyone had the opportunity to meet Santa as well as enjoy great entertainment and bargains from the tabletop sale. I would like to thank the members of SCYPAN, and your organisations this year as we have shown we can work in partnership and make events and activities bigger and better. Many SCYPAN members regularly volunteer their time to support vulnerable residents when they most need it, and many partners offer support or funding to help other groups support families in crisis. Thank you very much for giving up your time, your experience, your involvement, and your passion for our community. My thanks also go to: SCYPAN Network Members Durham County Council Livin Shildon Town Council & Town Councillors Shirley Quinn (Town Mayor) Ashley Wharton – Shildon Alive (Treasurer) Auckland Youth and Community Centre Saint John’s Church Salvation Army Shildon Methodist Church Bishop Auckland & Shildon Area Action Partnership **SCYPAN AGM 2024** Local community and statutory organisation ALL The Young People of Shildon and the surrounding area Thanks, as always Paula Nelson _(Chair – Shildon Children & Young People’s Action Network)_ **SCYPAN AGM 2024** ## SCYPAN AGM 2024 **S H I L D O N C H I L D R E N & Y O U N G P E O P L E ’ S A C T I O N N E T W O R K** ## 3. Aims and Objectives To advance in life and relieve the needs of children and young people who live, play or access services in Shildon and the surrounding area (the area of benefit) through the development and promotion of initiatives that address their expressed needs and aspirations. To develop and promote communication, partnership working and best practice between voluntary and statutory agencies working for the benefit of children and young people in Shildon and the surrounding area. **SCYPAN AGM 2024** ## SCYPAN AGM 2024 **S H I L D O N C H I L D R E N & Y O U N G P E O P L E ’ S A C T I O N N E T W O R K** ## 4. Our Story So Far The Network was set up in early 2006 to bring together statutory, voluntary and community groups that provide services for children, young people, and families in Shildon and the surrounding area. It strives to work in partnership and address the needs and aspirations of children, young people and families living, playing, and accessing services in Shildon and the surrounding area. The network holds regular meetings for members and other interested parties to share information, raise issues, share problems and solutions. The network operates an open-door policy and actively encourages other relevant local Children and Young People groups to be involved. SCYPAN would like to take this opportunity to thank all those groups and individuals who take part in this community effort to provide services and activities for children, young people, and parents. The achievements of SCYPAN have been a combined effort and hope that the network can go on to achieve its goals. **SCYPAN AGM 2024** **S H I L D O N C H I L D R E N & Y O U N G P E O P L E ’ S A C T I O N N E T W O R K** ## SCYPAN AGM 2024 ## 5. SCYPAN INFORMATION Since the development of the new Shildon Youth Initiative (Shildon Youth Group) the annual award ceremony has been placed on hold. The youth group is now well established with regular attendance to the group each Tuesday evening. The group was much more in demand than SCYPAN had ever predicted. Funding has been secured from Sir James Knott Trust, Point North, Ballinger Trust and the Bishop Auckland and Shildon AAP.SCYPAN made the decision to appoint YMCA Teasdale to facilitate the youth group on a weekly basis and they work hard to ensure regular activities are planned in for the young people to enjoy. The group is now fully staffed and receive a weekly donation of food, which has been saved from landfill to help feed the young people who attend without often surplus for them to take home to their families and siblings. SCYPAN look forward to continuing to work with YMCA moving forward for a successful youth provision in Shildon. **SCYPAN AGM 2024** **S H I L D O N C H I L D R E N & Y O U N G P E O P L E ’ S A C T I O N N E T W O R K** ## SCYPAN AGM 2024 ## 6.
