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 developments and
regularly contribute to the shaping of
government youth policy.
We have a team of 30 members of staff and
a long-established Board of Trustees.

and 1.19||The directors believe that the organisation
satisfies the requirements of section 17 of

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

**Overview**
PYF’s main work is divided into five
different strands. Each focus on a different
aspect of young people’s lives: transitions
into employment and training, and re-
engagement with education; supporting
young people at risk of exploitation or at risk
of being drawn into crime; encouraging
healthy, lifestyles, and physical activity;
supporting young people’s creativity; and
support for young refugees, asylum
seekers, and migrants.
The advantage for young people is they can
enter PYF through one door and access
many rooms inside. It allows us to deliver a
range of specialist programs, for example
supporting newly arrived refugees into
education, or mentoring young artists so
they can develop a career in the music
industry. But these young people can also
benefit from regular sports programmes,
learn to cook, join debates or take part in
the Duke of Edinburgh Award, for example.
PYF also provides support for youth
organisations in Coventry and West
Midlands by commissioning youth projects
and coordinating initiatives such as the
youth voice initiative for the West Midlands
Combined Authority, the place-based Go
Parks and Go Foleshill programmes, and
we play a leading role in the Coventry Youth
Partnership.
Families have experienced a severe cost of| living crisis with inflation at the highest rate for 40 years. These economic conditions impact most severely on the poorest communities, and we know that 68% of young people who we support live in the top 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England (according to Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index). With support from Coventry Building Society, we opened a winter youth club operating three nights a week which offered warm safe space and a hot meal for young people living in the Hillfields neighbourhood of Coventry. Our attendance has averaged over 60 a night and altogether we have served over 3,000 meals since it began. **Measuring the impact of our work** We measure the difference we make in several ways: There are some outcomes we can count directly, like the number of English or Maths exams young people pass; the jobs or college courses they start; or the improvement in attendance at school. For example, 50 young people achieved 117 AQA certificates, including 81 for English language and activities that promoted their vocational and personal development. 44 participants achieved improvements in school attendance. There are some outcomes we measure by asking young people how they feel. For example, our baseline survey measures young people’s experience at PYF when they start, and as they continue with us: how safe they feel; whether or not we respond to their views and opinions; and how positive they feel about life. This gives us an overall picture but doesn’t take account of wider influences in their life. Perhaps the most insightful evidence is from young people themselves and we use written and recorded case studies, video and photography to document this. We also collect more detailed evidence about our impact using information from parents, teachers and others who are close to young people. This gives us a richer picture of the impact of our work, and you can read some of these stories throughout this report. Our attendance data, and the frequency of young people’s participation across a range |||of activities also tells us something about
how meaningful activities are to them.
Young people attend our programmes
voluntarily, so regular attendance over a
long period of time suggests they value
their contact with us.
Overall, young people participated for an
average 36 contact hours with PYF during
the year. Over 30 participants in our open
youth club attended for over 100 hours in
2022-23.
Our work is also underpinned by a theory of
change which helps us to understand the
elements of our work that work contribute to
successful outcomes

**https://positiveyouthfoundation.org/report/**
**1. Employability Programmes – Raising**
**Aspirations Programme (RAP)**
"RAP uses young people's interests as a starting
point to inspire them and realise what they can
achieve"
**Highlights**| **The Raising Aspirations Programme (RAP) helps young people experiencing challenges in mainstream education, or who are not engaged in education, training, or employment. Many are outside the labour market and not registered at the Job Centre, and experience profound and complex challenges in their lives.** 2022 was the final year of our Progress: Building Better Opportunities programme funded through the European Social Fund and the National Lottery’s Community Fund. The project began in 2016 and in 7 years 448 young people took part. 89 progressed into education or training; 33 got a job; and 50 moved into active job search. In evaluations young people consistently identified their Progress Coach as the best and most helpful aspect of the support. They valued having someone they trust, who listens to them, and who helps to build their confidence at a pace that works for them. The skills and ability of Progress Coaches to form stable and trusting relationships and to tailor support to the needs of individuals, has been key to the programme’s success. There are numerous examples of how this kind of intervention with young people makes a difference, but at the heart of it is the trusted relationship that young people build with a youth worker and the impact this can have on their self-confidence and resilience. These are skills which are often overlooked in programme design and policy making, but they are key to success. According to the Youth Endowment Fund (2023) ‘mentoring is effective in both reducing crime and the behaviours associated with crime and violence. The research suggests that, on average, mentoring reduces violence by 21%, all offending by 14%, and reoffending by 19%.’ **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." **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.** This approach is not new. In 2002 PYF took part in the original Home Office Positive Futures programme which shifted the use of sport as a diversionary activity and used it instead to facilitate a 'relationship strategy' through engagement. We continue elements of the programme through initiatives such as the social impact bond _Chances_ . **Chances** Chances is a targeted support programme delivered by 16 youth organisations across England and commissioned by local authorities (including Coventry City Council) and Sport England. The programme is funded by an investment from Big Issue Invest, repayable by the commissioners when outcomes are delivered. PYF’s Chances programme provides one-to-one mentoring and support to young people in Coventry. In 2022 we supported 153 young people, including 32 statutory referrals through the City Council’s Attendance and Inclusion team, and 121 self-referrals from within PYF’s wider youth provision.  Overall, 28 young people saw significant improvements in school attendance, achieved qualifications or engaged in volunteering;  2 young people desisted in offending over a 12-month period;  115 young people participated regularly over 9-months in physical activity. **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. " In 2022-23 the Involved Team worked with over 500 young refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in Coventry. They included Syrians and Afghans arriving through Government resettlement schemes, Hong Kongers arriving on the BNO Visa Scheme; Ukrainians coming through Homes for Ukraine and asylum seekers (including unaccompanied asylum-seeking children under 18). We focus on their mental health and education needs, with the long-term aim of successfully integrating young people into British life. **Highlights** • With funding from Coventry City Council, we delivered our first Summer Boost - programme for 30 newly arrived young people who had not yet been to school in the UK. - Supported by the City & Guilds Foundation we provided ESOL support and guidance on applying for further education, training or work experience for 70 older young people aged 16+. 36 participants achieved 81 AQA certificates recognising achievements in learning English language, as well as activities that promoted their vocational and personal development. - We began supporting Ukrainian young people in partnership with the Ukrainian Centre in Coventry. Many continue to study online with their schools in Ukraine and miss the opportunity to socialise with their peers in the UK. - We supported approximately 65 asylum seekers and unaccompanied asylumseeking children with English language support. Many are extremely isolated. - The Involved Team delivered a national conference on supporting newly arrived young people, hosted by the Local Government Association. Over 100 participants took part in discussions about education and mental health needs of newly arrived young people. ## **4. Changing Trax** “Working with young people to inspire, develop and unleash their creative talent” ## **Highlights** **Changing Trax provides opportunities for young people to explore their creativity through music, photography, videography, fashion or more traditional art and design. Our main aim is to work with those who want to be creative but haven’t found the support they need so far. For those who already have some experience and want to develop their skills or take part in paid opportunities, our Creative Collective offers another level of opportunity.** Our work in 2022-23 included delivering creative programmes as part of Coventry’s City of Culture with financial support from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Youth Music and the John and Julia Egan Charitable Trust. Whilst we were impacted by the implications of the City of Culture Trust going in to administration, the support provided by our wider funders allowed young people and our associated voluntary sector partners the ability to reach a range of exciting outcomes. In 2022 PYF launched the Creative Collective, a support programme for talented young people who want to take the first steps towards earning money in the creative sector. Members of the collective are supported with a mentor and can access business skills training and advice as well as networks and professional introductions. Ilana Andrews, PYF’s Creative Programme Lead says that increasingly ‘creativity’ is being recognised by young people for its professional opportunities, but many lack knowledge of the sector or have an unrealistic view of how it works. The Creative Collective provides performance and paid opportunities at high profile events including the Godiva Festival in Coventry, Fusion 22 at the Belgrade Theatre, Production work at TBN UK Studios and FA Leadership, allowing young people to develop their confidence in their creative work. **5. Healthy Futures** "Improving the physical, emotional, and mental health of young people… " **Healthy Futures supports young people and their families to live fuller and more active lifestyles, through a mix of both mainstream and non-traditional sports and physical activities. Increasingly our work in this area takes a ‘whole community’ approach which recognises that young people’s attitudes to health are strongly influenced by families, friends and wider community institutions.** During the year we ran 2 major programmes funded by Sport England: Go Parks and Go Foleshill. Both worked with a wide range of community partners to deliver health and activity outcomes for families, reaching over 3,000 participants. **Go Foleshill** _Go Foleshill_ seeks to address stubborn health inequalities by building capacity in local organisations and initiatives which have strong connections to people in the neighbourhood. With financial support from Sport England, these local organisations organisations are increasing health and physical activities in the area, ensuring they continue beyond the life of the project, and training local people to become sports instructors. Altogether we worked with 9 community groups, 8 schools, 5 faith groups, and 6 GP surgeries. We also worked with national organisations like the Canal and River Trust which manages the canal |basin and waterways in Foleshill.| |---| |Our cycling scheme aims to encourage women and| |children to cycle again, or for the first time.

The project worked with amazing partners| |including British Cycling, the Canal and River| |Trust, Ride Better as well as local community| |organisations.| |We are also proud of an initiative which directly| |addressed the lack of female swimming sessions in| |Foleshill. We identified 20 women from the| |Foleshill community and provided weekly| |swimming training in a safe and comfortable| |environment, preparing participants to gain either| |lifeguard or certified swimming instructor| |qualifications.| |At the end of the project 11 women qualified as| |swimming instructors inspiring more women and| |girls to engage in swimming and aquatic activities.| |7 participants have qualified as lifeguards and| |some of these are no employed in swimming pools| |in the city.| |Overall, there were 990 attendances at our| |swimming activities.| |**6.

consideration is given to protecting a basic
level of:
-
Core costs such as minimal staffing
requirements and implications of significant
and ongoing income reductions due to the
cost of living crisis and associated funding
matters.
-
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 in to new spaces for young
people.
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,
