ANNUAL REPORT 2022/23

The swan project is an amazing asset to the community and a great opportunity for the children

Swan Youth Project, Paradise Road, Downham Market

Presented By : Anna Foster

www.swanyouthproject.org

A message from our Chair of Trustees James Bagge

In my last two years as chairman of the Swan Youth Project I have become increasingly aware of the real challenges facing our young people in Downham today; the impact of social media, the lack of access to so many of the facilities in sport and education that I for one just took for granted and the consequential impact it has on self confidence and aspiration. The Swan Youth Project seeks to correct that imbalance. Those who have progressed through the year groups and become peer mentors are being nominated for awards and being offered work opportunities. But the ever increasing demand on the services of the Project continues to outstrip the supply both in terms of space and human resource.

Anna Foster and her team are working tirelessly to address that by raising the profile of their invaluable work within the community. We have opened the Love Downham shop providing discounted food and clothing broadening the impact of the work we do within the wider community in the town. We are running open days for businesses to visit and thereby encouraging commerce in the local area to identify the many ways in which they can offer support.

We continue to rely on and are very grateful for the very welcome financial support offered by the Norfolk Community Foundation, Bain Capital, the De Laszlo Foundation, the County Council, BCKLWN, National Lottery, Garfield Weston Foundation. Once again I want to thank Anna and her team for the wonderful work they are doing and my fellow trustees for the support they give me and the Project.

Project Overview

Swan Youth Project supports over 350 young people aged 8-18 and their families per year with a whole variety of needs. Our work includes a variety of activities which take a holistic approach to enable us to provide wrap around support not just for the young person but also their family. These services include:

Open Access sessions (3 per week) Family Support Service Parents' Group,

One to One support for mild/emerging mental health,

I could never say thank you enough for all the support this year! You were there when we felt like we had no other support!

Our Open Access sessions act as a gateway to all of our other services. Since the covid pandemic we have seen an increase in mental health concerns, which has meant that we have waiting lists for both 1:1 support and Family support and are very often full in our Open Access sessions. We are also seeing the cost of living crisis impact on the families we support.

Being embedded in the community means that we have first hand knowledge of what is happening and what the needs are in our area. We are a trusted place to come when things go wrong; we are also the place to come and celebrate life's wins.

Who did we help?

• We see around 120 young people every week in Open Access sessions

• We supported 33% more young people in the first quarter of this year than the previous year

The types of issues we are seeing include:

10% are Young Carers 7% are LGBTQ+ 30% have a physical/learning difficulty 45% have mental health concerns

ground. We are not prescriptive and can be flexible in our approach and the services we deliver.

Love Downham

Our 'Love Downham' shop had it's official opening in January and has been going from strength to strength as the months go by. We are supported by the wonderful 'Nourishing Norfolk Network' through Norfolk Community Foundation who have been champions of getting affordable food hubs directly into communities across the county. It is truly heart warming to meet so many members of the community who we have not been in contact with previously. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and we are incredibly proud to be able to sit in the middle of our community with these vital services. We have also been able to give a young person a Saturday job in the shop, which is a brilliant step on the work ladder. Volunteering opportunities are also being provided for young people completing courses at college and 6th form.

As well as food, we also offer high quality re-loved clothing and original artwork produced by our young people, plus a training room and office space that is able to be hired by like minded organisations.

Love is the answer....

Community Liaison

Our Bain Capital funded role has continued to deliver the Swan Youth Project information out to our local area, including to schools, community groups and businesses. Over the last year Louise has:

Project Prom supported local young people to access pre-loved Prom outfits in return for a small donation. It was a joyous and emotional event, with many young people finding the outfit of dreams. It is a privilege to be a small part of the prom journey with our families.
