Overview
This was the year when we learned to
live with Covid and slowly returned to
normal. Many young people bounced
back. For others, coming to terms
----- End of picture text -----
with Covid and lockdowns has taken longer and been more difficult.
With Covid restrictions in place for part of the year we supported 1519 young people, a thousand more than the previous year, but fewer than the 2,500 young people we might reach in a normal year.
As the social and economic impact of Covid lingered on we saw a change in young people’s mental well-being and their self-confidence. Young people talked about changes in family relationships and financial security, and how they felt about their future. The pandemic often magnified the challenges young people faced before.
Across England, public services and voluntary sector organisations like PYF, have seen a significant rise in the need for mental health support, a surge in numbers of young people absent from school and a significant increase in childhood obesity.
We saw growing public concern for childhood poverty and hunger. The cost of living, particularly fuel prices, began to rise and affected everyone, especially the poorest. Global events in Hong Kong, Afghanistan and Ukraine have led to the arrival of families seeking sanctuary in the UK.
The year was also marked by the launch of two major events in which PYF was directly involved. We were an Honorary Partner in the City of Culture 2021, and a contributor to the community and outreach programme for the Commonwealth Games. We were thrilled to support young people taking part at the MOBOs, and to join the incredible street theatre puppet Amal during her walk-through Coventry city centre.
Trends and challenges in 2021-22
- Supporting lower-level and emerging mental health needs in young people, particularly

stress, anxiety, and depression.
A need for some young people
to rebuild their confidence and
social skills and to adapt their
behaviour appropriately with
other young people. We
provided access to counselling
for those where there is a more
acute need.
Young people returning to
outdoor and sporting activities
in parks and sports centres.
Attendance at football and
basketball increased and we ran
gym sessions and a new boxing
club.
With young people we are
cooking nutritious food for as
many as we can, as often as we
can in our busy kitchen.
We saw the rebirth of cultural
and creative activities in the
city as the City of Culture 2021
picked up – PYF’s participation
increased significantly.
Our mentoring, coaching and
flexible support for individual
young people has grown
significantly as young people
are finding their feet and
looking for new opportunities to
get training and move into
work.
The revival of the UK
Government’s resettlement
scheme, the emergency in
Afghanistan, new rules allowing
Hong Kong nationals to settle in
the UK; and towards end of the
year the crisis in Ukraine, have
all led to a growth in our work
with newly arrived young
people.
We have seen an increase in
referrals, particularly from
statutory authorities. Young
people are often referred to PYF
from other organisations so
they can benefit from our
skilled team of mentors and
coaches. In 2020-21, 250
young people were referred to

PYF, including 42% from the
City Council and 31% from 23
separate schools in the city.
There has been a marked
increase in safeguarding cases–
not just reporting concerns but
supporting young people in
times of personal crisis.
We led the Coventry Youth
Partnership. CYP offered
training, carried out a baseline
survey of core members, set up
a programme to plan for its
future.

as a whole.
"RAP uses young people's interests as a
starting point to inspire them and realise
what they can achieve"
Krishan Singh, Director of Operations
Highlights
RAP supports young people to achieve their
potential. It helps those experiencing
challenges in mainstream education, or
those out of education, training or
employment. Youth work principles are
adopted to meet the diverse needs of
young people, ensuring that they are
supported and challenged in equal
measure. This year RAP’s main
programme, Building Better Opportunities
(BBO), supported 139 young people, 70%
of them aged 16-18. BBO Progress
Coaches provided an average of 23.5
contact hours with each young person.
BBO is funded through the European Social

Fund –this amazing programme which has supported almost 350 young people altogether, will end in March 2023. Johnny’s story Johnny was referred to PYF by Coventry College because of a low attendance record and a belief that he wouldn’t meet course requirements because of health conditions. Johnny suffers from Type 1 Diabetes, chronic kidney failure and only has one working lung. This meant he was not always able to attend his education placement and sometimes had to leave early due to his condition. Since starting BBO Progress he has only missed 1 out of 21 planned sessions. These have been tailored to Johnny’s needs, starting later in the day, and are kept short. He is allowed to take breaks if his sugar levels are running low and the work that he is set is specific to his ability levels. Johnny attends Functional Skills sessions, and these are tutored on a one-to-one basis. The tutor is aware of the needs he has and what can be put in place to support these, creating an environment where he can learn and achieve. This has helped develop his confidence and aspirations around what he perceives he can achieve. Johnny aspires to go to university in the future and as part of his support we have been looking at access courses and other alternative avenues to support this ambition of his. 2. Community Provision – Positive Futures "We need to build trust for mentoring to work well. It allows young people to talk about their lives, share their worries and explore solutions with their mentor." Ahmed Mohammed, Youth Engagement Mentor, Positive Futures Positive Futures supports vulnerable young people who may be at risk, for example from gang activity, criminal or sexual exploitation, low school attendance or exclusion from school. We offer highly
flexible mentoring and one-to-one coaching built around young people’s individual needs. Highlights Our mentoring programme Chances aims to increase participant’s physical activity and improve young people’s physical literacy. The programme also works towards supporting improvements such as school attendance for those referred by Coventry City Council. Out of 245 young people who joined the programme almost 50% achieved a recognised physical literacy outcome. We supported 16 young people referred for their school attendance and this improved by 28% by the end of the third term, from a baseline of 42%. MST Mentoring is the newest addition to Positive Futures - a national mentoring research programme led by the Centre for Youth Impact. This year we are supporting 11 young people who have signed up for the trial mentoring scheme and more young people will join in the coming year. Freya’s story Freya is 14 and has taken part in Positive Futures since the start of 2021. She has significant screen time compared to other young people her age – up to 19 hours a day. This is a barrier to her personal development, and she struggles to work well in busy settings without her phone, like school. Freya was reluctant to come on her own to our youth centre, but she did attend when her guardian brought her. Once in the centre, her mentor worked with her to make her comfortable. Eventually Freya was happy enough to put her phone away on charge in the office, to sit down and do some arts and craft origami with her mentor for almost an hour. 3. Newly arrived young people – Involved "We want Coventry to feel the same for everyone… we want our Coventry
to be their Coventry. That’s exactly what Involved is about. " Tayyibah Mota, Programme Lead, Involved Involved supports newly arrived young people in Coventry, whether they are asylum seekers, or refugees arriving through a government resettlement scheme, under special visa arrangements, or family resettlement. In 2021-22 we supported just over 500 young people Highlights In January 2022 we held a Chinese Lunar New Year Event to celebrate the Year of the Tiger. It was organised by young people who recently arrived from Hong Kong, to welcome their families and help people feel at home. Over 130 people attended, and we were able to explain the support PYF provides. As a result, 65 young people from Hong Kong joined our orientation and induction programmes, sports activities, and other youth projects. We have employed a Hong Kong Chinese youth worker to make links with the community and funding from the Dept for Levelling Up has allowed us to sustain this work. Khaled’s* Story 20-year-old Khaled arrived in the UK in 2019 with his family through the UK Government’s Resettlement Scheme. ‘We arrived for safety, a future and for democracy,’ he says. Like many new arrivals the language barrier proved to be the first obstacle, but Khaled soon set out to change that. In January 2020 he signed up to the MyCoventry programme – a two-year initiative designed to support new arrivals with employment, training and language support. PYF is a partner in MyCoventry and he began taking part in ESOL classes at our youth centre, improving his English skills and make everyday life easier. Khaled’s self-confidence grew to the extent that he applied to become a volunteer at PYF and was able to share his own personal experience with newly arrived children and young people. Recently he has been in a paid role at PYF and is working for the City council as a translator. He is completing
both Maths and English at college with his eyes set firmly on going to university in the future. Not his real name_ 4. Changing Trax “Working with young people to inspire, develop and unleash their creative talent” Larna Andrews, Programme Lead, Changing Trax Changing Trax uses music and art as a creative platform to develop skills, talent, and relationships with young people. We work in recording studios, dance studios, on film sets, in live performance spaces and across other platforms to give young people experience of working in the creative arts industry. In 2021 PYF was Honorary Partner for Coventry City of Culture supporting an exciting creative offer for young people in the city. Highlights* Since the pandemic, _Changing Trax has continued to help young people access creative spaces. As a result, young people have had the chance to produce and perform their work in venues across the city. They have built new relationships and extended their networks with professionals and other like-minded young people. This year Changing Trax worked with 214 young people and had an average contact time of 15.25 hours with each. This included weekly studio sessions, workshops, networking events, and panels around the city thanks to our involvement with the Coventry City of Culture Trust. These activities acted as a basis for mentoring and young people’s personal development.
Young people had access to an incredible range of creative opportunities. Seventythree young people took part in pop-up open mic and busking events, as well as televised events like the MOBO Awards, the CVX Festival and parades in the city.
Sean’s* Story Sean is a young person who struggled to connect with his teachers and to attend school. He was referred to PYF in May 2021 and started on the Building Better Opportunities Programme. After working with a Progress Coach, Sean became more familiar with PYF and began to explore other programmes like Changing Trax . He took part in music sessions in our studio twice a week, while continuing to learn practical life skills like cooking with his Progress Coach. Changing Trax led Sean to pursue his creative interests and enabled his confidence to grow. This year he performed for the first time, live at the CVX Festival in front of an audience of around 200 people. This had a huge impact on his personal development and his social life. He hopes to use music as a tool to keep him on the right track and towards a positive destination. Not his real name_ 5. Healthy Futures* "Improving the physical, emotional, and mental health of young people… " _Nikki Miles, Programme Lead, Healthy Futures Healthy Futures helps young people to live fuller and more active lifestyles, through a good mix of both mainstream and nontraditional sports and physical activities. It aims to offer something for everyone. In 2021 Healthy Futures completed a 5-year programme funded by the National Lottery which reached 3,460 young people and delivered over 2,700 health and physical activity sessions. 85% of participating young people said they felt healthier for taking part in physical activity sessions. Highlights In 2021, with other partners in the city, PYF launched the Go Foleshill programme, named after inner-city ward in the central
north of Coventry. Go Foleshill is a community-based initiative encouraging local people, especially young people, to get out and use local spaces to get active. Working with over 3,000 people, Go Foleshill has been a huge success, offering the diverse resident population new experiences including swimming, cycling, canoeing, fishing and more. Alongside this, we secured funding from the Alan Higgs Foundation to support 25 care experienced young people, increasing the opportunities offered to them across the city including a platform to express their views. This led to the creation of a guide for other care leavers and professionals who work with them, offering support and guidance for their journeys. This programme has also led to a mentoring scheme to offer care leavers additional support. 6. 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. “Supporting a strong network of youth organisations in Coventry…” PYF Connect is our contracting and commissioning strand and secures funds to support PYF’s core costs. It includes work to develop the Coventry Youth Partnership, a city-wide initiative that brings the city’s youth sector together, improving youth work and maximising the impact of what we do together. With funding from the National Lottery CYP partners were able to: Provide support to CYP members to deliver youth activities across the city.

set Para 1.41 The challenges young people face in life are often complex. Supporting young people through these challenges almost always needs someone they can trust and a place where they feel safe. It sounds simple to arrange, but it’s not.
-
We can’t do anything without the incredible, professional, and multi-disciplinary staff team. To be effective the team needs to reflect the diversity of the young people we support and include those with lived experience of the challenges young people face.
-
We need to avoid complacency and strive for quality and excellence in everything we do. We do this by creating a culture where it is OK to constructively challenge and ask questions of each other.
-
We continue to seek ways to articulate the impact of what we do more widely and effectively. This needs to be in a way that is understood and accessible to staff and young people– so they are part of how we express the quality and impact of our work.

Good partnerships are at the heart of our work, whether this is working with statutory partners, funders, or other voluntary sector organisations. Working in partnership means recognising the value each partner brings as well as being reliable and delivering what we say we will do.

PYF Connect The youth sector across the UK has found itself in a very precarioiis position. Whilst funders mobilized to gel funds in lo the sector, challenge5 remained in relation lo 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 opportunrties to upskill the sector. Summary This was the y8ar when we learned lo live with Covid and $hJwly returned lo nom)al. Many young people bounced back. For others. coming to terms wrth Covid and lockdowns has taken longer and been more drfficull. Young people'$ participalion tUrned to levels we saw b8fore the pandemic, but the soci21 and economic impact has lingered on. We saw a change in young people's mental well-being and their self-confid@nc@, young people talked about changes in family relationships and financial insecurity, and how they feK about their future. The pandemic often magnified the challenges young people faced before. Across England public services and voluntary Sector organisations like PYF, saw a significant rise in demand for mental heatth services, a surge in numbers of young people absent from school and a signrficant increase in childhood obesity. Young people referred lo PYF from Coventry City Council and statutory services grew rapidty and so did the number of safeguarding Gases we supported through OUT dedicated safeguarding comittee. There was increasing public concem during the year for childhood poverty and hunger. The cost of living, particularty fuel prices, began lo rise and affected everyone, especialty the poorest. Global events in Hong Kong, Afghanistan and Ukrainè havè lo tha arrival of n8w communities and young people seeking sanctuary in the UK. The year was also marked by the launch of tsvo major events in which PYF was directly involved. We were an Honorary Partner in the City of Culture 2021, and a conliibutor to the community and outreach programme for the Commonwealth Games, We were thrilled to support young people taking part at the MOBOS, and to join the incredible street theatre puppet Amal during her walk through Coventry city centre. The pandemic and its restrictions had a major impact on everyon8 involved in PYF - staff as well as young people. We tcok the opwrtunity to consolidate our work, focus on young people's greatest needs, and lo continue ensuring the quality and integrity of our work. The financial profile of PYF continues to Ic*)k healthy, with a pipeline of grants and awards relevant lo delivery. We seek to diversify this through the coming year by incorporating a new fundraiging strategy in to the team, which will assess and address current need against opportunity.

POSITIVE YOLrfH FOUNDATION Company Registered number: CharSty Registered number '. Dirèctors. Report 7613299 1145284 S. PYF Connect The youth sector across the UK has found itself in a very precarioiis position. Whilst funders mobilized to gel funds in lo the sector, challenge5 remained in relation lo 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 opportunrties to upskill the sector. Summary This was the y8ar when we learned lo live with Covid and $hJwly returned lo nom)al. Many young people bounced back. For others. coming to terms wrth Covid and lockdowns has taken longer and been more drfficull. Young people'$ participalion tUrned to levels we saw b8fore the pandemic, but the soci21 and economic impact has lingered on. We saw a change in young people's mental well-being and their self-confid@nc@, young people talked about changes in family relationships and financial insecurity, and how they feK about their future. The pandemic often magnified the challenges young people faced before. Across England public services and voluntary Sector organisations like PYF, saw a significant rise in demand for mental heatth services, a surge in numbers of young people absent from school and a signrficant increase in childhood obesity. Young people referred lo PYF from Coventry City Council and statutory services grew rapidty and so did the number of safeguarding Gases we supported through OUT dedicated safeguarding comittee. There was increasing public concem during the year for childhood poverty and hunger. The cost of living, particularty fuel prices, began lo rise and affected everyone, especialty the poorest. Global events in Hong Kong, Afghanistan and Ukrainè havè lo tha arrival of n8w communities and young people seeking sanctuary in the UK. The year was also marked by the launch of tsvo major events in which PYF was directly involved. We were an Honorary Partner in the City of Culture 2021, and a conliibutor to the community and outreach programme for the Commonwealth Games, We were thrilled to support young people taking part at the MOBOS, and to join the incredible street theatre puppet Amal during her walk through Coventry city centre. The pandemic and its restrictions had a major impact on everyon8 involved in PYF - staff as well as young people. We tcok the opwrtunity to consolidate our work, focus on young people's greatest needs, and lo continue ensuring the quality and integrity of our work. The financial profile of PYF continues to Ic*)k healthy, with a pipeline of grants and awards relevant lo delivery. We seek to diversify this through the coming year by incorporating a new fundraiging strategy in to the team, which will assess and address current need against opportunity.
