Para 1.17 | The directors present their annual report and financial statements covering the year to 31st March 2021. The directors have adopted the provision of the Statement of Recommended Practise (SORP) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statement of the charity. The Positive Youth Foundation (PYF) is a registered charity based in Coventry that supports young people aged 8-25. Through our work we aim to raise the aspirations and life chances of those in difficult circumstances through two main areas of work: Intensive frontline services through programmes that support education, employment and training, healthy lifestyles, arts and culture, social action and the integration of young migrants; and, Strategic support to policy leads, commissioners, funders and agencies across the youth work sector. We are well connected to local, regional and national youth work organistions and regularly contribute to the shaping of government youth policy. We have a full-time staff team of 22 including 6 members of the executive team and long-established Board of Trustees. Further information about our work is available on our website: www.positiveyouthfoundation.org |

Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The directors believe that the organisation satisfies the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 regarding public benefit because the general community benefits from the organisation's activities. The principal activities of the organisation which are set out in the Articles of Association include: Promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit by working with members of communities, who are socially or economically deprived. Provision of education, recreational and leisure time activities, and general assistance to young disadvantaged persons. 2020-21 was a year like no other – a year when the pandemic affected all of us and strangely united us in a common cause. In normal times we open our doors to all young people in Coventry – everyone is welcome. During the pandemic, this principle didn’t change, but the restrictions up on us meant that we provided the greatest support to those whose needs were greatest. It became clear very quickly that the pandemic impacted some in our population much more severely than others. Our work during the year is all about how we responded to the extraordinary, unplanned restrictions imposed on us so we could continue to support young people. Our main delivery centre, Hillfields Young People’s Centre (HYPC), was closed for 25 weeks from 18 March – 6 September. For the rest of the year it re-opened for 1 to 1 and small group activities only. We were guided by local advice from Coventry City Council and the National Youth Agency’s Covid Guidance bulletins. Altogether we worked with 445 individual young people in 2020-21. This compared to 2,319 the previous year, a drop of 80%. However, this only tells part of the story. Even when HYPC was closed, and some staff were on furlough, we continued to run sessions online, on the phone and by visiting young people on their doorstep when we could do this safely.In fact, we ran 2,274 youth work sessions during the year compared to 2,664 the previous year, a reduction of only 15%.Many of thesewere delivered online. |
| And because we worked with fewer young people, the intensity of our work increased significantly.The average contact hours with each young person rose from 21 to 39hrs. Our open access and sports activities, which attract large numbers of young people, didn’t take place during the year. Instead, we continued with targeted support work where the ratio of staff to young people was lower, particularly in our Building Better Opportunities_programme which supports vulnerable young people into education and employment, and our _Involved_strand which works with newly arrived young people in Coventry. Key strands of focus during the year: _Education and Training (Raising Aspirations Programme) Health and Wellbeing (Healthy Futures) Community Engagement and Empowerment Futures) Newly Arrived Young People_(Involved) Creative Programmes/City of Culture 2021 (Changing Trax) Sustainability of the sector(Coventry Youth_ Partnership) |

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Overview of Core Activity 1. Employability Programmes The core 'Raising Aspirations Programme' continues to deliver high-level outcomes for young people most in need of support. Delivered each week day, the provision is designed to support those most at risk, or already missing from mainstream education services. We also continue to deliver on the ESF/TNL funded Progress programme in partnership with Groundwork UK, which is an innovative and deep-reaching employability support programme targeting those furthest from employment. We envisage further support will be required by young people relating to their employability and credible employment opportunities as we come further out of the pandemic. 2. Community Provision Reintroducing community sessions has been an important part of our planning and programming this year. Getting young people confidently back together again has been a key focus, navigating the ever changing restrictions and guidelines to ensure that our provision is not only safe, but also relevant to the needs of young people and the wider community. 3. Newly arrived young people Our work to support newly arrived young people has remained an integral part of the local offer to support those seeking refuge and asylum. Whilst the restrictions of the virus initially halted new arrivals, the programme soon resumedwith |
families accessing PYF for support. 4. City of Culture 2021 As an organisation, we hope to continue to play a key role in this programme as the year approaches. As the ‘Honorary Partner’ to the programme, It will be essential to ensure that the fidelity of the programme is retained, and that young people who were heavily engaged in the process are fully included as the planning and delivery of the programme is initiated. Positive progress has been made towards reaching an agreement for PYF engagement in the programme. 5. Coventry Youth Partnership The youth sector across the UK has found itself in a very precarious position. Whilst funders mobilized to get funds in to the sector, challenges remained in relation to competition for funds, significant increase in young people’s needs and a diminishing workforce across the sector. PYF established a number of support programmes to counter the challenges, including setting up of funding streams for the sector to access and training opportunities to upskill the sector. The challenges of the year, whilst difficult to navigate, galvanized the team and refocused us on our mission to support young people. We are very pleased with the outcomes we have achieved, underpinned by a high level of satisfaction reported by young people and staff through our annual survey. We continue to develop our Youth Advisory Group, named the 'Positive Young Thinkers' who are central in decision making and operational values. A total of 25 volunteers are currently engaged in the delivery and support of projects. This group is an excellent mix across genders and cultural backgrounds.

| Achievemen ts against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | Engagement: Although the total number of young people we reached in 2020- 21 dropped significantly, the spread across our 8-25 age range remained very similar to the year before with only a slight reduction in 11–13-year-olds. The wards in which young people lived also remained relatively static, with the majority of participants coming from St Michael’s and Foleshill wards. Participant numbers did increase in St Michael’s ward by 15% and it dropped in Foleshill by around 20%. This reflects the restrictions on movement during Covid. Early signs are that participant numbers are now increasing again. In the first quarter of 2021-22, 550 young people took part in PYF activities compared to 445 for the whole of last year. PYF uses the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale to measure change in young people’s sense of well-being while they are participating in our programmes. Young people complete a short survey with 7 questions early in the programme and then later on one or more occasions. Across all 79 respondents we saw an average increase in well- being scores of 2.7 (see Figure 5). 84% rated their well-being as Moderate or High compared to 65% before taking part in our programmes. Across all 79 respondents we saw an average increase in well- being scores of 2.7. At the end of the programme 84% rated their well-being as Moderate or High compared with 65% at the start. Average well-being scores increased more for males (3.15 points) compared to females (1.35 points) and for younger participants (3.07 points) compared with older young people (2.29). Overall well-being scores increased more for males (3.15 points) compared to females (1.35 points); and for younger participants (13-15 year olds) 3.07 points compared to 2.29 for 16-24 year olds). |

| Other | Human Resources Our structure continues to show an effective reporting line of senior managers, co-ordinators and frontline practitioners. We continue to grow as an organisation and seek to continually improve the employment experience of staff members. Our Staff Survey showed very positive responses of satisfaction. Sustainability The business activity of the year gives us confidence that our sustainability plans are on track. Given our strong track record of delivering high-quality youth provision, funders’ confidence in our work is apparent. We took much learning from the past year and continue to consider our sustainability model in case of any future emergencies such as the one presented by the pandemic. Finance Our financial position remains healthy and balanced. Year-end accounts will have been emailed prior to the meeting for further discussion at the AGM. We have fully embedded the XERO financial management system which supports our financial management processes. Summary Whilst the year has provided a broad-range of challenges, we feel we have managed these well and helped PYF to maintain its position as an effective local, regional and national organisation. Young people have achieved many outcomes, which have been evidenced through programme level reporting. Funders have responded exceptionally well to the challenges caused by covid, something which we have been very grateful for. |
Financial Review

Para 1.21 | Our surplus position at year end is assuring given the state of the sector and financial matters relating to charities/voluntary sector following Covid-19. |
|---|---|---|
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | An updated ‘Reserves Policy’ has been produced to reflect the latest position of our finances. The main focus of this policy is to ensure that we protect our interests by ensuring consideration is given to protecting a basic level of: - Core costs such as minimal staffing requirements and implications of significant income reductions due to Covid-19. - Legal requirements such as redundancy, accountancy and insurances - Sustainability plans including developing provision for capital spend when required as we look to sustain and further grow the charity Our accommodation status remains a concern for the board as we seek to invest in to the purchase of a building as soon as viable. The board maintains active interest in ensuring we can identify premises that are suitable, be it now or via suitable renovation work, in matching the needs of our services and programmes. This approach enables us to continuously plan for a future where we provide relevant and credible services for young people, even when there is a distinct lack of grant- funding opportunity across the sector. |

| A description of the principal risks facing the charity |
Para 1.46 | The principal risks are as below: 1. Sustainability With an ever-shifting landscape of youth policy and wider challenges for the charity sector following Covid-19, we maintain a close eye on our sustainability through mapping our partnerships and networks in which we operate. 2. Human Resources We have revised our business continuity plans to mitigate risk, sharing out more of the strategic responsibilities across the executive team. 3. Property Whilst we have secured a short-term lease, we recognise that this is risky and seek to address this through the purchase of a suitable premises as soon as a viable option becomes available. 4. Demand for services This continues to increase, due to a number of factors including the fall-out from Covid- 19. Ensuring we can service this growing need remains a strategic risk that we regularly review. |

Our work supporting the local youth work sector also increased a8 many organisations expressed a desire to continue to support young people, which PYF were able lo support through accessing and distributing funding as well as providing infrastructure Support to VCSE organisations. We must express our sincere thanks lo our staff and volunteer teams, funders and partners during this challenging year, with thg biggest thanks lo the young peoplg for thriving during a very diffiGult period. 1.Ral8ing Aspirations Programm Raising Aspirations Programme is PYF'S alternative education provision. It offers small group support for young people referred to us Lwause they are excluded from sch1 or from other aKernative provision and leaming environments. The cor8 activty of this financial year has been in the fom of one-to-one personalisa support for young people who found thems80$ even further removed from meaningful employment and training opportunities, The effects of Covid were hardest by young people who were not involved in any foTmal learning or work setting, therefore this support was of paramount importance. Daity sessions were delivered out of our youth centre as well as online. We found that the online sessions were Surprisingly effective, 88 a number of participants who were referred to us found more confidence using online access rather than having lo attend a physical location. 2.Positive Futures Communlty Programme Posltwe Future5 consists of several programmes fuTrded by a wide range of supporters including the European Social Fund, Coventry City Council and the Police and Crime Commissioner for the Wesl Midland8.

Staying Safe Mentoring programmes continued throughout the year. with most delTvery tsking place online, through phone calls and on&tO-one appointments. We found that the risk of exploitation of young people had increased over lockdown. with more young people finding themse¢$ isol*ed and further vulnerable. To challenge this, we ensured that prOvisn and support r8mained available throughout. We wktnessed a numbeT of achievgments including the production ol high quality SLKl rnedia outputs which we havg profiled on YouTube. 3. Involved Involwj programmes are mainly funded by granls from Coventry City Council and designed to support young people who are new arrived to the UK as Tefugees and asylum seekers. The impact of Covid meant that there was real uncertainty about new cohorts arriving lo the UK, therefore we placed much more emphasis on supporting families and young people who were already here wrth us. We found that this cohort required a high.level of support as they faced 8 range of complexities of settling in to the UK given such uncertain times. 4.

Report 7613299 1145284 & PYF Connfjct PYF has been the driving force behind the Coventry Youth Partnership, a model of local youth work collaboration that has sparked interest not jusl within Coventry but across the UK. 11 a¢ts as a Gerblral hub, bringing together experienced youth organisalions and professh?nals from xross thè cty. buil(Jing on the 81rengths of each individual organisation, developing $hared goals and agreeing common approach to youth work, not only amongst operational partners but also the llxal authorty and other stslutory bodies. The lockdown period has allowed a smaller but more focussed group of partners the opportunity lo take stk of Ihe current plans for the partnership and to work tO981her to develop a local youth work plan which helps organi5alions lo be ready for a post-lockdown future for young people. Summary For many reasons, 2020-21 was a year like no other. We are very grateful for the support we have received as an organisalion, which in tum allowed us lo maintain a high kvel of support for the most vulnerable young people. Our main delivery centre, Hillfields Young Peopl8's Centre (HYPCI, was closed for 25 weeks from 18 March - 6 September. For the resl of the year il r&opened for 1 to 1 and Small group activities only. Altogether we worked with 445 individual young people in 2020-21. This ccfflpared lo 2,319 the previou8 year {a drop of 80%). However, this only tells part of the story. Even though HYPC was ¢k)$ed, and staff were on fudough. we continued lo run sessions online and by vi5rting young people on their d¢)orslep. In fact, we ran 2,274 youth work sessions during the year compared to 2.664 thè previous year. This is a reduction of only 15°h. And because we worked with fewer young people. the intensity of our work increased synrficantty. The average contscl hours th each young person rose from 21 hrs to 39hrs. There was also evidence that during the lockdown perKid when HYPC was closed and we began operating online, female participants increased. Between March - September 2019-20 th participation was 260h but during the lockdown this increase(I to 339h. There is less evidence that age ranges changed during the lockdown period or that we worked with some ethnic groups moro than others. We discovered unmet needs amongst a 5Jnrficant number of young people for access lo IT equipment. Without rt, young people were not able to rticIPale properly in online classe8 and we were able lo support 30 young people by providing laptOP5 and data packages wrth financ1 help from Comic Relief. We also supported young people with food deliveries for cts)kiny, sports equipment for exercise at home (yoga mats, footballs etc.) The financial profile of PYF continues to lo¢)k héalthy, with 8 pipeline of grants and awards relevant lo delivery. We seek lo diversfy this through the coming year by inc¢Nporating a new fundraising strategy in to the team, which will assess and address current need against opportunty. To ensure that we provide a clear public benefit, we have sel our organisational values.. To be Iran$parenl in our operations - To have young people at the Ggnlre of all that we do - To treat all of our stakeholders wrth respect and dKJnlty - To have a workforce that refiects and responds lo the needs of our target groups - To hav8 an effective and responsible board of trustees and asstxiates - To aayS behave in the interests of the young people and the wider charitable objectives of our organisalion. Hurnan Rosourc8s Whilst the year has been challenging, we have continued to develop our HR function through training and developmant c)portunrts for staff, as well as recruiting lo three new rok8s within the organisation. The ongoing 8UPPOrt of staff will bè e88ential for the period ahead.

Our work supporting the local youth work sector also increased a8 many organisations expressed a desire to continue to support young people, which PYF were able lo support through accessing and distributing funding as well as providing infrastructure Support to VCSE organisations. We must express our sincere thanks lo our staff and volunteer teams, funders and partners during this challenging year, with thg biggest thanks lo the young peoplg for thriving during a very diffiGult period. 1.Ral8ing Aspirations Programm Raising Aspirations Programme is PYF'S alternative education provision. It offers small group support for young people referred to us Lwause they are excluded from sch1 or from other aKernative provision and leaming environments. The cor8 activty of this financial year has been in the fom of one-to-one personalisa support for young people who found thems80$ even further removed from meaningful employment and training opportunities, The effects of Covid were hardest by young people who were not involved in any foTmal learning or work setting, therefore this support was of paramount importance. Daity sessions were delivered out of our youth centre as well as online. We found that the online sessions were Surprisingly effective, 88 a number of participants who were referred to us found more confidence using online access rather than having lo attend a physical location. 2.Positive Futures Communlty Programme Posltwe Future5 consists of several programmes fuTrded by a wide range of supporters including the European Social Fund, Coventry City Council and the Police and Crime Commissioner for the Wesl Midland8.

Staying Safe Mentoring programmes continued throughout the year. with most delTvery tsking place online, through phone calls and on&tO-one appointments. We found that the risk of exploitation of young people had increased over lockdown. with more young people finding themse¢$ isol*ed and further vulnerable. To challenge this, we ensured that prOvisn and support r8mained available throughout. We wktnessed a numbeT of achievgments including the production ol high quality SLKl rnedia outputs which we havg profiled on YouTube. 3. Involved Involwj programmes are mainly funded by granls from Coventry City Council and designed to support young people who are new arrived to the UK as Tefugees and asylum seekers. The impact of Covid meant that there was real uncertainty about new cohorts arriving lo the UK, therefore we placed much more emphasis on supporting families and young people who were already here wrth us. We found that this cohort required a high.level of support as they faced 8 range of complexities of settling in to the UK given such uncertain times. 4.

Report 7613299 1145284 & PYF Connfjct PYF has been the driving force behind the Coventry Youth Partnership, a model of local youth work collaboration that has sparked interest not jusl within Coventry but across the UK. 11 a¢ts as a Gerblral hub, bringing together experienced youth organisalions and professh?nals from xross thè cty. buil(Jing on the 81rengths of each individual organisation, developing $hared goals and agreeing common approach to youth work, not only amongst operational partners but also the llxal authorty and other stslutory bodies. The lockdown period has allowed a smaller but more focussed group of partners the opportunity lo take stk of Ihe current plans for the partnership and to work tO981her to develop a local youth work plan which helps organi5alions lo be ready for a post-lockdown future for young people. Summary For many reasons, 2020-21 was a year like no other. We are very grateful for the support we have received as an organisalion, which in tum allowed us lo maintain a high kvel of support for the most vulnerable young people. Our main delivery centre, Hillfields Young Peopl8's Centre (HYPCI, was closed for 25 weeks from 18 March - 6 September. For the resl of the year il r&opened for 1 to 1 and Small group activities only. Altogether we worked with 445 individual young people in 2020-21. This ccfflpared lo 2,319 the previou8 year {a drop of 80%). However, this only tells part of the story. Even though HYPC was ¢k)$ed, and staff were on fudough. we continued lo run sessions online and by vi5rting young people on their d¢)orslep. In fact, we ran 2,274 youth work sessions during the year compared to 2.664 thè previous year. This is a reduction of only 15°h. And because we worked with fewer young people. the intensity of our work increased synrficantty. The average contscl hours th each young person rose from 21 hrs to 39hrs. There was also evidence that during the lockdown perKid when HYPC was closed and we began operating online, female participants increased. Between March - September 2019-20 th participation was 260h but during the lockdown this increase(I to 339h. There is less evidence that age ranges changed during the lockdown period or that we worked with some ethnic groups moro than others. We discovered unmet needs amongst a 5Jnrficant number of young people for access lo IT equipment. Without rt, young people were not able to rticIPale properly in online classe8 and we were able lo support 30 young people by providing laptOP5 and data packages wrth financ1 help from Comic Relief. We also supported young people with food deliveries for cts)kiny, sports equipment for exercise at home (yoga mats, footballs etc.) The financial profile of PYF continues to lo¢)k héalthy, with 8 pipeline of grants and awards relevant lo delivery. We seek lo diversfy this through the coming year by inc¢Nporating a new fundraising strategy in to the team, which will assess and address current need against opportunty. To ensure that we provide a clear public benefit, we have sel our organisational values.. To be Iran$parenl in our operations - To have young people at the Ggnlre of all that we do - To treat all of our stakeholders wrth respect and dKJnlty - To have a workforce that refiects and responds lo the needs of our target groups - To hav8 an effective and responsible board of trustees and asstxiates - To aayS behave in the interests of the young people and the wider charitable objectives of our organisalion. Hurnan Rosourc8s Whilst the year has been challenging, we have continued to develop our HR function through training and developmant c)portunrts for staff, as well as recruiting lo three new rok8s within the organisation. The ongoing 8UPPOrt of staff will bè e88ential for the period ahead.
