All Saints Youth Project
The need for more support for young people and families has grown over the last 12 months with continued cuts to provision in the city and the closure of nearly all city youth centres, lack of opportunities for young people and lack of accessible support for parents/carers.
1. Our Aims
-
To help and support all young people in their transition from adolescence to adulthood through the provision of an integrated and holistic programme that strives to be accessible and inclusive particularly to those with disabilities and special needs
-
To deliver and develop our service where All young people have the right to be safe, be healthy, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and to achieve economic well-being
2. Our Objectives
-
To provide a safe place for socialising, enjoyment and positive activity
-
To raise young people's self-esteem and confidence by developing new skills and providing a sense of achievement.
-
To promote positive behaviour and personal responsibility for the benefit of themselves and the community.
-
To encourage young people to take personal responsibility for their future.
-
To provide an opportunity for young people to talk to supportive/caring adults in a non-threatening environment.

We have a creative and diverse staff team and group of volunteers who put young people first.
Our Activities
All Saints Youth Project provides recreational and informal educational opportunities and support for young people aged 10 to 19 years old (up to 25 for those with disabilities) to enhance their lives and grow their social/personal development. Our work with young people includes fun, friendship and care. Whilst much of our work is aimed at the young people themselves, we look to promote family well-being and help parents/carers in dealing with issues that their young person is facing. Issues facing the family may be about the parent’s drug or alcohol abuse, poverty, domestic violence or just improving the communication between the young person and parents/carers.
During 2024/25 the project has had contact with over 350 individual young people and over 300 families. A team of staff and volunteers deliver support/services: Four open access youth club sessions and three sessions for adult members with learning disabilities every week, counselling and one-to-one support, special projects and workshops, holiday schemes, residentials, events in the local community, family support through individual family interventions, support groups (eg
ADHD) and courses (eg Teen Triple P). We are an inclusive project with many young people with disabilities and neuro diversity. In addition, we have a very high proportion of young people who are vulnerable through family circumstance (eg on the edge of crime, domestic abuse, poverty) and some of these are referred to us by GPs, social services and police.
In September we had to move out of our building for refurbishment and ran our sessions in the community hall with access via the village square and cafe. Other work took place in the meeting rooms at the back of church, and in the church. Our office moved to the Marjorie Allen room at the back of church. This had obviously put some constraints on what we are able to delver but thanks to everyone who made this as easy as possible. Young people have been involved in the use and design of the new building.
In January 2025 we moved into our new building. This space includes two activity rooms (linked to make one large space), a time-out space, four counselling rooms (also available for small meetings), storage, a kitchen and a larger staff office and lobby. We still have direct access to the community hall and a small but useful outdoor space.

Moving in has taken a lot of planning, physical work and decisions. Thanks to staff and volunteers involved in this from sourcing cupboards to putting up shelves. We involved young people in the move and tried to keep our sessions open. We our still working on how we can ensure this new space offers young people a range of different activities and opportunities.
We have run:
Four open youth club sessions run every week during term time supplemented by holiday programmes during school holidays.
Two of these sessions are in the evenings. Young people that attend include those with a range of learning disabilities, behavioural issue, neuro-diversity and additional needs. A range of activities, selected in consultation with the young people happen in these sessions including arts, music, games, cooking, chess club, projects and workshops included MMA (mixed martial arts), sexual health and healthy relationships, mantal health and well-being, drama and podcasts, relaxation and stress release.
Two of these sessions are after school drop-ins 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. .
Weekly attendance during 202425 has been between 20 and 30 young people per session.
Our residential ran at Easter with 22 young people attending an activity weekend at Condover Hall
Holiday schemes We ran holiday schemes in May, July/Aug October 24 and February 25 The summer schemes ran for 3 weeks, 4 days a week attended by 40 to 5 0 young people. Breakfast and lunch was provided. Activities in holiday schemes included games in the park, sports activities, an arts project with Lever Arts, workshops with Aquarius on substance abuse, sexual health issues with Umbrella, finance, health and hygiene, day trips to parks, cinema, go karting and Drayton Manor Park. Some sessions were open specifically for our older members (16 years
+).
Lack of space between September and January has restricted some of the activities we could provide
A young person, T, 11 years old, used to come for about an hour to an hour and a half during Drop-In and then would be picked up by a parent. He has recently started to stay for the evening session too and interact more positively with young people of different ages. He is usually very active and friendly but struggles with concentrating on one activity. This also prevented him from spending productive/enjoyable time with others for an extended period of time. Our new volunteer, has managed to introduce this young member to new games which hold his interest and as a result he has been spending time with other youth club members in a more productive way where he challenges others to a game and plays the game until it has ended. We have used prizes (donated Pokemon games and cards) given at the end to T to reward his positive interaction and growth.
Youth Worker
Website Alongside social media, the All Saints Youth Project Website has been maintained with up-to-date timetables, news posts and information
MOSAIC. We are very proud to be a space where young people can feel comfortable to express themselves and experiment with their identities. The group has grown to an average of 8 to 10 a week. The group have regular meetings to plan their programme which has included a range of arts and crafts including Boro and Sashiko embroidery re-using materials, movie nights, quizzes and games tournaments. During the session members have time to socialize and talk to each other and the leaders. Outside the session the group went to the theatre to see ‘Becoming Nancy’ and had day together at Queens Heath Pride in Kings Heath. They are hoping to be involved in the planning of 2025 Queens Heath Pride..

Youth Participation . We recruited a youth participation worker in the Spring but due to building and staff constraints she changed her role to Youth Work coordinator on a temporary basis and ran our sessions and holiday schemes. We recruited a new Youth Work coordinator in the new year and welcomed back Jo Burrows who worked for us at the beginning of the project.
Counselling With our Counselling Lead we have continued to build a team on a sessional, freelance or volunteer basis and this has been very successful with currently a team of six. 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 176 young people and adults 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 case study
Client B was referred to the project by his parent. The referral outlined that the client was 13. He had a diagnosis of autism and had recently been placed with his father due to his mum asking him to help her take her own life during an addiction episode.
We agreed that he required extra time to process any exchange between us. After session four he began expressing his feelings in relation to his mum. This reflection continued, as he processed his feelings of fear, anger and acceptance that he did not have control over his mum’s addiction and the incidents that had occurred were not his fault. When the client returned after the holiday we began to work on an emotional tool kit for the client to help him.
Our sessions together have now ended as the client expressed that he felt able to accept his mum’s addiction and distance himself and his relationship with her from that addiction.
Counsellor
Inclusion+ We run three sessions each week for adults 19 years plus with learning disabilities. Over 50 members with learning disabilities or vulnerabilities have taken part in our activities this year. Afternoon sessions included the group working hard to devise, write and perform their own pantomime performance called ‘This Is Me’ in April with two sell out perfomances in church. The audience were treated to singing, dancing and a message that they received with fun, enjoyment and
admiration. Thanks to all who took part including 20 members and staff.
Next the group embarked on a homeless project that involved dance workshops with Birmingham Opera Company. This culumated in a performance in November with over 50 people in the audience. This raised £500 for the charity ‘I’m homeless, get me out of here’ and the group also collected donations of personal hygiene products to give to The City Mission.
The evening social sessions out included local pub visists, film nights and fish and chip nights, kareoke and disco, Air Nation Bounce, visit to Freefall at the Hippodrome, pantomime visit, narrowboat trip. Sessions in included ‘Inclusion+ got talent’, kareoke, movie night, bingo and quizzes
In August the group ran three events in All Saints Café for themselves, carers and parents and also invited the members of the Robin Centre – A Summer of Music and Dance Fest on a Friday afternoon and attended by 20+ .

The programme included CVs, interview skills, portfoli building, safe internet searches, IT skills, team building, confidence building and communication. The group also attended a jobs fair. Nine plus attended the sessions. Opportunities where there for both work experience and volunteering. Individual members took up opportuities to volunter in gardening, child care, shop work, café work , radio presenting and college courses in dog grooming.

Family Support – The Carers’ Space at All Saints
Over 350 families have received support this year.
Parenting programmes 3xAutism 360 (10 weeks) 31 participants ; 1 x Teen Triple P ( 8 weeks) 7 participants; 3 x Non Violent Resistance (10 weeks) 32 participants; Autism 360 10 workshop x2.
Parent/Carers Support Groups Parents Well Being , Autism/ADHD, IMPACT, Transgender, Kinship, Adoption support. HomeEd group with Citisen4U. Five of these groups are run by parent volunteers.
Case Study Family Support - Grandparents caring for two grandchildren with additional needs.
J made a self-referral to All Saints Parent Well Being group. On initial visit to ASYP, J informed Family Support Worker that she and her husband have Kinship Care for their two grandchildren who both have SEN needs. During the discussion J expressed feelings of exhaustion, isolation and a lack of support from the allocated Special Guardianship Officer. J and her husband attend All Saints Kinship Care group, and the NVR, and one to one family support sessions. During support session, J and her husband expressed their frustrations regarding the lack of support / contact with the allocated support worker.
Action:
With the Grandparent’s permission an email was sent to the support worker requesting a meeting was called to give the Grandparents the opportunity to highlight their frustrations with the service. I also requested that their granddaughter would benefit from a consistent worker who could build a positive relationship to help her explore her thoughts and feelings. Grandparents notified us that after the meeting I had attended with them the support worker visited the family home to discuss further support. After the visit they felt positive that the new allocated worker was listening to both their needs as Grandparents caring for two young people with additional needs and that of their granddaughters. Parent support worker
Family Fun Days

Feeback from parents about courses
I really benefited from the warm learning environment and the openness of being able to ask questions without feeling judged.
I have a better understanding of my teenagers understanding of a healthy parenting style.
Both my son and I are now able to recognise our difficulties and what we need to do to improve our relationship.
I have found the group very helpful. Being here has been great for letting me know I’m not alone. I have learnt to recognise the nature of my teenager and to deflect. How not to escalate situations that would normally become aggressive.
Having my partner with me has brought us closer together and now work together when managing violence and aggression from our teenager. The course has reinstated my confidence as a person and as a parent.
Many of us had teenagers with additional needs and the facilitator adapted the course well to ensure we all felt supported.
Our team have referred 42 families to food banks and 63 families to the local Household Fund. We received 10 food parcels from the Kings Heath and Moseley Lions, 23 families received toys from Birmingham City Mission 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
Our biggest challenge is recruiting experienced staff. Although we like to encourage our young people to become first volunteers and then paid staff the project still needs a core of experienced, knowledgeable staff to lead and support. Youth work itself does not seem to be a career of choice probably because youth work itself is only happening in very few places. No longer a youth club on every corner and a no longer a universal service for all young people, places for safe association.
Training for staff is also an issue as very little is available for both qualifying courses and to support part time and volunteer workers.
Thanks to all the staff and volunteers who have continued to provide opportunities for young people in our restricted space and supporting the move into our new building.
Future Developments
The biggest development is how we can use our new space for the benefit of young people and more young people, and parents. Developments include a session for project work focussing initially on music leading to a range of projects including art and sewing, a girls’ group, sessions supporting those parents home schooling their teenage children, a session for looked after children, expanding our Inclusion+ to support those aged 19 to 25 with additional needs, a programme of training for staff and volunteers, exploration of accredited achievement programmes for young people, a new parents support group for male carers, workshops for parents on smoking cessation.
Congratulations and ‘thank you’ to ASCDC in their success in achieving the grant for a building and support for staff posts to extend and develop All Saints work with young people.
Fundraising
Fundraising continues to be a priority but we are pleased that the YIF funding from ASDCDC and the new build has provided financial support for staff employment. We also achieved a three year lottery bid, continue our monthly appeal mailings and are applying for a Children in Need grant. Thank you to the fundraising group for all their work.
We would like to thank Ted and Lindsey Hammond for the Christmas quiz which was again very successful and raised over £1000. Also, to Gillian and Jake Lever who not only ran a workshop to make Christmas cards that were sold at their open studio event but gave us a generous donation from the sales of their own work at this event. We are always looking for new ideas or kind businesses or millionaires!
Thanks to all our regular givers. Please get in touch if you wish to join this group of generous donors.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ALL SAINTS COMMUNITY PROJECTS (‘THE COMPANY’)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025, 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:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
the accounts do not accord with such records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
I 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

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.
(d) Fund accounting
-
Unrestricted funds represent income generated for the furtherance of the charitable objects without specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities.
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.

The company is not liable to United Kingdom corporation tax because of its charitable status.
(l) Financial instruments
