Positive Futures Annual Report 20-21
> A message from our CEO
“Unprecedented!” was undoubtably the word of the 2020, with immeasurably more words written on the topic of Covid-19. Our contribution was action rather than words , so what follows demonstrates the contribution that my extraordinary team made to our community when they needed us.
difficult the task of home schooling, finding food & financing was about to become. We began delivering 1-2-1 support online, then in the park for ‘walk & talk ‘sessions. Of course, there were the ubiquitous weekly quizzes as well as online keyboard and guitars lessons, a ring around of hundreds of young people to check in with them individually, food parcel deliveries, and as time went on, the introduction of tutors to help with school catch-up.
Our services remained OPEN THROUGHOUT the pandemic, and alongside our funders, we ensured contact, development and support with our young people and their families. In fact, our street work increased from day one of lockdown in partnership with the Police and Fire Service. With the immediate help of some funders, we issued computers, tablets, and connectivity devices to young people. We immediately took on a Family Support Worker in appreciation of how
At the same time we attempted to open our first Ofsted registered Children’s home, but the long shadow of Covid affected recruitment, staffing, planning & inspections and our timescales slipped. We are supremely confident we will be up and running in the next couple of months.
Thank you to our supporters...
I am so grateful to everyone who helped us stay open, and of course to our young people who continue to demonstrate resilience and make us laugh! - Clare

> In the news: Guitar lessons struck a cord
“You’re on mute” “just waiting to reconnect” “my webcam isn’t working” “my WIFI is playing up” “the 40 minutes are nearly up.” These are just some of the phrases we’ve all become used to as online activity has kept us connected throughout lockdowns one, two and now three. But, as frustrating as IT and WIFI can sometimes be, it hasn’t stopped a group of young people from Positive Futures becoming budding Guitarists.
Only 12 weeks ago the group of 5 young people were complete beginners, many of them having never picked up a guitar before never mind trying to play it. Now, fast forward 3 months and they are playing chords and plucking strings to tunes such as House of the Rising Sun and a few cheeky Beatles numbers too.
But perhaps one of the biggest achievements for the group of young people, has been that they have achieved all of this virtually. Learning from their tutor via Skype hasn’t always been the easiest thing, but the group has
coped this with maturity, commitment and most importantly enthusiasm.
Youth Development Worker Tom Coates said;
“What has been absolutely brilliant about these sessions is the positive and proactive way our young people have approached them. Everyone learns in a different way and at different speeds, so the group needed to be patient with one another and support each other, and that’s just what they have done!”
Tom went on to say;
“Music is a language that is known all over the world, and can bring people together, even during lockdowns.
“Learning to play an instrument is a brilliant skill because it uses different parts of the brain and can support mindfulness, it’s also brilliant for helping to develop communication skills.”
“Music is a language that is known all over the world, and can bring people together, even during lockdowns.”

> Case stud : Tar eted Su ort Service y g pp
Our in-house Family Support Worker became involved, and we advocated on their behalf with the school, who were threatening legal action due to such low attendance. Diabetes wasn’t stopping him leaving the house, but his anxiety was. He developed such strong anxiety that he believed he would die if he didn’t have immediate access to a bathroom and his medications, at any point.
A YP was referred to Positive Futures by his mum; his sibling had previously benefited from our Targeted Support Service. He is a 16-year-old boy was refusing to attend school and was spending a lot of time with young people who engaged in low level anti-social behaviour. His behaviour was becoming increasingly withdrawn but he agreed to doing some 1-2-1 sessions with a Targeted Support Worker.
We continued 1-2-1 support whilst arranging relevant meetings with teachers and educational welfare services.
Our assessment highlighted that he was at very high risk of depression and health anxiety. He set a goal of attending school every day, if only for a few hours.
The impact
The threat of court action was stopped, and school agreed a personalised timetable and flexibility for him which included daily meetings with the school concierge on arrival – essentially school made them his personal ‘nurse’ while on school premises.
The intervention
We agreed a plan of action: The YP enrolled onto a skiing course which would require a commitment every weekend for 6 weeks alongside a course of 1-2-1 sessions informed by the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. He engaged well and his school attendance shot up.
After 10 1-2-1 sessions and a range of multi-agency meetings he started attending school again on a reduced timetable.
Halfway through the intervention, he was admitted to hospital and was an inpatient for a few weeks. He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and this exacerbated his health anxiety significantly. He now refused to leave the house let alone attend school. It was necessary to change the goal and plan of action.
The outcomes
His still had health anxiety at the point the intervention came to an end, but he managed it sufficiently to ensure it had limited impact on his education.
