After school drop-ins

We run 2 sessions a week after school and numbers have increased over the year with 20 to 30 with young people participating in a range of recreational activities, staff support with homework, forming friendships and having fun, in a safe environment with caring adults.

Case Study. We have a young person with additional needs who used to come with his school group but since attending the youth club on his own, he has grown in his independence and now even goes to the shops on his own (with parental permission). He is more confident, has made more friends and his social skills have improved. He is still vulnerable, and is sometimes misunderstood by some of the other young people who attend the youth club, however all stoff are aware of this and have had conversations, both with the particular young person and others, to explain that Ail Saints Youth Club is inclusive, a safe space for all and we have encouraged young people to speak to us about any worries they have. Youth Work Coordinator

Online presence & support

We have continued to use social media to maintain and grow our contact with young people.

Website

Alongside the social media, the All Saints Website has been maintained with up-to-date timetables, news posts and activities.

MOSAIC

We are very proud to be a space where young people can feel comfortable to express themselves and experiment with their identities. Young people in the sessions are very supportive of one another on their journeys and are extremely non-judgemental. The young people also feel comfortable with their youth workers, enough to open up and be completely true to themselves around them too. During the year they had a theatre visit, a small group went to Birmingham Pride and they helped organise and attended Kings Heath Pride, running a stall to raise money for the group. We also received a generous donation from the Hare and Hound Pub collected during the World Cup.

Curiosity Project, a three-year project run by the University of Birmingham finished in the summer

Commonwealth Games

In July our team ran a fun day on the village square to continue the celebration of the Commonwealth Games held in Birmingham 2022. Activities included sports and circus skills with the on-site organisation CircusMash.

TeaTime Club - Responding to the cost of living crisis, our TeaTime Club continued for young people aged 11 to 19 and their families, between our two young people’s sessions on a Tuesday and Thursday, where they are able to have a free hot and healthy meal. This has been popular with young people with 15 to 20 attending each session. This has resulted in young people often attending both Drop-in and Gateway to Inclusion sessions. They help set up and clear away and in the kitchen preparing food. They sit with their friends in a ‘family’ setting with a choice of hot food. This is run by staff and volunteers. Menus include chicken curry and rice, baked potatoes, pasta, spag bol, sausage and mash, with veggie options. Its more than the food, its friendship, support and sharing. We won't be able to continue this between September and February when we have to move spaces for our new build. We will also be reviewing TeaTime as numbers have dropped and the cost is high.

Young volunteers

We have not been able to run our Volunteering Scheme for young people due to staff and funding issues but we are planning to recruit a youth participation worker in the Spring in conjunction with ASCDC and our new build.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS - continued

Young volunteers - continued

Young people often drop-in during the times that sessions aren’t running. This can be just for a chat or to chill out or to get something to eat or drink. Sometimes they have nowhere to go because school or college finished early. Out of the wet or a phone needing charging or napping on the sofa in front of the tv, young people say ‘this is my second home’. Sometimes rooms aren’t available but this will change with the new space we will have with the new build. We will be looking for more ways we can be there when we are needed.

We provide a programme of activities to support young women.

The Shed

A communal space to make and mend things, has been facilitating projects throughout 2023 introducing different crafts to both young people in Gateway to Inclusion and Inclusion+ members. Two new garden benches have been made. One for outside our centre and one in the park.

Counselling

With our new Counsellor we have built a team on a sessional, freelance or volunteer basis and this has been very successful with currently a team of seven. Although this has enabled us to clear a lot of our waiting list we still do have one, as demand has increased. During the year 136 young people have received counselling support ranging from a single contact through to a series of sessions. The main concerns were anger issues, family issues, low moods, social anxieties and bullying.

Counselling Example

A young person displaying symptoms of anxiety and self-harming was referred to the project by parents. Struggling with school since lockdown and coping by shutting down completely, self-harming as at least during the act of self-harm he “was able to feel”.

After session 16 they began expressing their desire for independence,

They managed to go out to local shops and said this made them feel “good” and resumed attending school regularly, describing feelings of happiness.

We gradually worked towards ending our sessions and reflected together on the work we had done. Counsellor

inclusion+

Our two sessions each week for adults 19 years plus who are Neurodiverse (this includes those with ADHD, Autism and other additional needs). We have 50 members and average attendance at sessions is 28 taking part in our activities this year. Afternoon sessions includied self defence and personal safety, circus skills, quizzes, relationships and love discussions, Windrush day celebrations and working together activities.

Inclusion+ - continued

Our members attended workshops led by a Ballet company member at our sessions on a Wednesday afternoon, preparing a dance to be part of a performance in November. The performance would include other groups and the Freefall Company themselves. Two of our members were already in this company and had been for several years so they were able to work with the Company’s tutor as teachers. On the 13", 14 and 15" November, 15 of our members performed their dance on the stage at the Patrick Centre in the Hippodome to a sell-out audience. This was not only an incredible opportunity but also a exciting and stimulating experience for all those involved. Thanks to all the staff who worked extra time for rehearsals and performances to help create such an unforgettable experience.

The effect of this has encouraged the group to put on their own stage performance called ‘This is Me’ and they are working towards this happening in April 2024.

A pantomime visit took place for after Christmas.

Anew session ‘Inclusion+ Employability’ on a Friday will be starting in April 2024

Inclusion+ members will be returning to Butlins for their residential in July 2024

Family Support

In October we opened All Saints Carers Space to encompass the support opportunities for parent/carers of young people.

Over 310 families have received support this year. 146 referred by outside agencies and 164 self-referral.

We now have a weekly Family Drop-in.

Parenting programmes

Autism 360 (10 weeks); 2 x Teen Triple P { 8 weeks); 3 x Non Violent Resistance (10 weeks), 2 x Adverse Childhood Experience (10 weeks) 65 parents completed courses

Parent/Carers Support Groups

Parents Well Being, Autism/ADHD, IMPACT, Transgender, Kinship. Four of these groups are run by parent volunteers.

Our team have referred 70 families to food banks and 45 families to the local Household Fund. We received 23 food parcels from the Kings Heath Lions, 50 food parcels from Hall Green NNS and 70 selection boxes from various business and members of the community which enabled us to give every young person and parents a selection box for Christmas.

Challenges

We have gone through a time of change in our staff team with some new team members including a new youth work coordinator. It is sad when established and brilliant members of staff no longer feel able to carry on a job that is sometimes difficult and always challenging. Ensuring that they still have a place with us and can pass on their knowledge and wisdom helps us to ensure new staff recognise and work to our values. Ensuring our work with young people continued during this time of changes, meant the staff team had to be flexible and creative, sometimes taking on new roles to ensure that sessions could open. They did this with a positive approach, putting the young people first and the board and youth management committee thank them for this. We are now with a stable staff team although still recruiting.

Challenges - continued

Both recruitment and training remain an issue. There are very few qualified/trained youth workers about and little training available to enable us to provide for our own staff.

Our review of our governance at the beginning of 2023 has provided clarity for the roles of the youth management committee and the board and enabled us to be more effective. We would be happy to receive queries from interested people with an interest in young people to join our board or youth management committee at anytime.

Future Developments

Inclusion+ is working hard for its production ‘This is Me’ in April 2024.

We are working with ASCDC and Circus Mash towards the new build/extension and its design. This is very exciting as we have grown out of our space especially for counselling and family work. The new design gives us more activity space and three counselling rooms. The funding to ASCDC also provides for some youth project staff's salaries to be paid through ASCDC for 12 months from April 2024.

We are working with young people so they are involved as much as possible in the design and the building so they can feel ownership of the space as they do for the current space. We also will be recruiting a youth participation worker to alongside ASCDC, to support and encourage young people both during the build and after.

Congratulations and ‘thank you’ to ASCDC in their success in achieving the grant for a building to extend and develop All Saints work with young people.

Fundraising

The financial challenges facing Birmingham City Council affected our fundraising as more organisations are looking for funding from the same sources as us. It has also to led to more need as organisations close their doors.

Fundraising continues to be a priority. We continue our monthly appeal mailings and are considering a Children in Need bid. We have had a successful lottery bid that gives us funding over 3 years.

We would like to thank Ted and Lindsey Hammond for the Christmas quiz which was very successful and raised over £1000. We are always looking for new ideas or kind businesses or millionaires!

Thanks to all those who support the funding applications and the reports that are needed at the end of funding periods. Our funding group would welcome new members.

Thanks to all our regular givers. Please get in touch if you wish to join this group of generous donors.

The directors and youth management committee members would like to thank our committed staff and volunteers for their resourcefulness, flexibility, creativity and positivity and the care they show for young people and their families.

Thanks to the PCC for their continued support, we continue to recognise the importance and benefits of being part of the ‘family’ of All Saints, and the support of people thinking about us. Also to Tony Cocks who has taken on the role of organising and producing the reviews of our All Saints policies, which are so important for our service delivery, professionalism and fundraising

We are also extremely grateful for the support of all the grant making organisations, trusts and individuals, including our regular givers, without whom we would not be able to deliver and develop the services and activities that we provide with the local community.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ALL SAINTS COMMUNITY PROJECTS

(‘THE COMPANY’)

| report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024, as set out on pages 13 to 20.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

| have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

All Saints Community Projects meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

{b) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

{c) Going concern

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors believe that no material uncertainties exist, and they have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to finance its activities in the foreseeable future.

(i) Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on accruals basis, and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. It is recognized where: there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties; it is probable that settlement will be required; and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

e = Costs of raising funds.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

(j) Operating leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts.

(k) Taxation

The company is not liable to United Kingdom corporation tax because of its charitable status.

{I} Financial instruments

The charity has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments, and these are recognised at transaction value.

(m) Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of the employees eligible to participate. Contributions are charged annually to revenue, and the assets of the pension scheme are invested externally and managed by an insurance company.
