Annual Statement 2025
Roseberry Community Consortium was created in 2008. 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 carers and a retired 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.
2025 Our goals, our achievements
We have been open now for 4 years 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 2026 to continue our good work in this area. These contracts come from Department of Further Education and are designated through Stockton Borough Council.
We have built strong partnerships with other charity organisations, 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. 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 in our community as possible. This year we received a multi-year core costs grant from the national lottery, this has been the most significant funding we have received and has meant some medium term stability in regards of core costs being met, as a charity with no salaried staff the main concern for us is to meet our financial obligations and ensure we are in a healthy financial position going forward, we have also received a multi-year grant from the postcode lottery this has helped with our expansion into our new building. This support and belief has been greatly received and we believe shows the good work we are doing in our community.
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 70% Contracts 25% Hire of Services 5%
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.
Street Safe Self Defense - Teaching anti bullying techniques, self awareness and situational awareness.
Dypraxia Support Group – education, social and family support.
Parent and Toddler Group – social skills, developmental play and support.
Revise to Rise – Maths and English classes supporting the national curriculum.
Holiday Activity Fun – Making films, podcasts, music videos, art classes and online safety/ anti bullying classes.
We currently have a team of 48 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.
In 2024 we expanded our services to offer an Alternative Provision for local schools and authorities, to this end we expanded into a property next door to our main hub this year. This has been a great success and is helping to generate income to help sustain the charity in the medium to long term, making it possible to offer more services to more families in Teesside. We are in our first full year and have built good relationships with schools, academies and local authorities already, with children flowing to us from several sources.
Our passion is to help as many young people as possible
