Annual Statement 2023
Roseberry Community Consortium was created in 2009. There had been a number of meetings to hold discussions about what the focus of our charity should be. Through agreement of our trustees, we decided the charity should help to guide disadvantaged young people. The charity understands and appreciates the hardship young people experience in the Tees Valley region. In June 2011, we achieved charitable status through registering with the Charity Commission no:1142441.
Roseberry Community Consortium comprises a team of six dedicated and passionate trustees, all with different backgrounds. These include a music teacher, marketing personnel, IT consultant, Foster carer and a police officer, who offers different skills and expertise to the charity. We also have a youth council which guides us and reports directly to the trustees. The charity opens up opportunities for empowerment, as we encourage young people to engage in projects. A strong need was identified for setting up the charity. We have found disadvantaged young people who have become disconnected from education, and the wider community, or who feel isolated through cultural and social barriers. Through consultation, we have found out there are a high number of young people in long term unemployment, academically struggling, living in care and living in poverty in the Tees Valley region. Young people’s opportunities are limited due to economic constraints. The charity is passionate and dedicated to make a difference to the lives of young people within the region.
The charity helps young people to advance in life through the key objectives
-
The provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare: designed to improve their condition of life.
-
Providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals
Since our charities beginnings in 2009 the trustees have endeavored to locate the strongest needs in the children of Teesside and help to fulfil them, it has been our goal and long term
strategy to create a legacy project that will help the most needy in our community and also be a solid foundation to grow Roseberry Community Consortium into a higher profile local charity.
2023 Our goals, our achievements
We have been open now for 26 months at our base in Stockton, we have built strong partnerships across our town with Stockton borough council and catalyst through the successful development of our HAF programme, across Easter, Summer and Christmas provision we had great success, offering a unique blend of film-making, keep fit, singing, dance and art classes, we included online safety tuition and our feedback monitoring gave us 100% satisfaction. We have also been awarded the HAF contract for 2024 to continue our good work in this area. We have also been awarded the HEP contract for 2023/2024 which is a smaller half term provision. These contracts come from Department of Further Education and are designated through Stockton Borough Council and Catalyst together.
We have built strong partnerships with other charity organisations, including diversity inside us, an asylum and refugee charity working in Stockton. NEATS, north east adoption therapy services, a company working with children with trauma and Recovery Connections, a alcohol and drug dependency charity. Catalyst is a charity that supports other charities, we have gained a good reputation delivering successful programmes, building strong relationships and raising our profile in our specialised field. Through the work with Catalyst we have also gained respect and built strong relationships with several departments of Stockton Borough Council, we work to deliver warm spaces, a council initiative over winter, for a fairer Stockon-on-Tees, we work with supporting families and we are also starting to build relationship with the Youth Offending Team and have buildt up a good working relationship throughout 2023. We have a great relationship with our PCSO’s and we are still growing and developing to a wider audience so we are known to as many organisations as possible to reach our demographic.
We have been working on a multi stream approach to our financials to help mitigate any loss of income, currently our income is spread across:
Bid writing/Fundraising 45%
Contracts 35% Hire of Services 20%
We have expanded our services over the year, at the request of our youth action group and we now offer these services, all for free.
StarmakerZ - music tuition across guitar, drums, piano, singing and dancing.
StarmakerZ Choir – a youth choir celebrating neurodiversity.

We currently have a team of 10 volunteers who support and assist in our delivery, we could not do what we do without this help and support and we are always thankful for them, we also realise the importance of training and we encourage development of all staff and volunteers to keep up to date with the latest legislation and information to assist our young people to the best of our ability.
The Future 2024 and beyond….
We are starting to deliver Alternative Provision to sustain and bring in a great income stream to support and build our reputation with the council And DFE, we are working with local authorities to deliver this into 2024 and 2025.
Our passion is to help as many young people as possible
