## **Project Updates** 

This year we have concentrated on our priority areas of Greater Manchester where we have already developed a solid reputation and have have strong networks. We feel we have now moved on from the issues that Covid created for the charity. 

We are still currently only running our main project called Stay Safe, which works on the streets with young people to help them make positive choices and figure out their path in life. We hold the map, they make the decisions of which paths to traverse. 

This year we have covered the whole of Trafford, large parts of Stockport and Salford, and Cheetham Hill in Manchester. 

## **Trafford:** 

We have delivered youth outreach/detached provision in the borough of Trafford covering Urmston, Flixton, Davyhulme, Partington and Stretford.  Our work has largely focused in reducing anti-social behaviour.  We work closely with Trafford Council, Greater Manchester Police, the local councillors and local social housing providers that operate in the area (Trafford Housing Trust and Your Housing Group) and many third sector agencies.  We have delivered pieces of work to reduce child sexual exploitation in a specific area of Trafford which was a joint project with Greater Manchester Police and Trafford Council. 

We have worked with thousands of young people, signposting to services in the locality, engaging vulnerable young people, ensuring they were safe and had access to support where needed.  We delivered 4 sessions per week in this borough and the council highly has praised us for our consistency, professionalism and high quality service.  We attend regular multi-agency partnership meetings and are integral to the strategic direction of youth provision in the area. 

Young people engaged: over 2000 


## **Salford:** 

We have delivered youth outreach/detached provision in the borough of Salford covering Claremont, Weaste, Orsdall, Salford Quays and East Broughton.  We work closely with Salford Council, Greater Manchester Police, local councillors, and the local social housing provider for the area (Great Places) and many third sector agencies.  We deliver on the evenings Salford Youth Service are unavailable, this ensures there is no gaps in provision and avoids duplication.  We deliver on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  We cover various parts 



of Salford as requested by Salford Council and Greater Manchester Police, to ensure hot sport areas are regularly targeted.  We receive excellent feedback for the work we deliver and have been working on a piece of work to reduce crime in a particularly challenging neighbourhood.  We  delivered  workshops  throughout  the  summer  months  on  Salford Quays, to educate young people about water safety as young people have died in this canal. 

Young people engaged: over 1200 



## **Stockport:** 

We  have  delivered  youth  outreach/detached  provision  in  the  borough  of  Stockport covering Brinnington, Reddish and Stockport city centre.  We work closely with Stockport Council, Youth Offending Team, Greater Manchester Police and the local housing provider (Stockport Homes) as well as many third sector agencies.  We delivered 2 shifts per week on a challenging estate where there had been a recent murder. We were tasked to engage the local youths, restore a sense of trust within the community and be a consistent presence that would allow young people a safe space to talk and get the support they need.  We were asked to cover the city centre of Stockport, as local young people from were travelling to the town and causing ASB.  The Council wanted to create a collaborative response to the issues, linking our service with others to deliver a joint piece of work.  Our teams were out twice a week, Friday nights being the busiest of all – dealing with some incredibly challenging situations at times. 

Young people engaged: over 500 




## **Cheetham Hill:** 

We have delivered youth outreach/detached provision in the area of Cheetham Hill.  We work closely with Greater Manchester Police, NHS and the local housing provider (Arawak Walton), as well as various third sector agencies operating in the locality.  We deliver our work twice a week in a very challenging part of Manchester where gang culture is high and our work has been successfully reducing ASB in the neighbourhood.  We work with young men predominantly and many have removed their balaclavas and are actively engaging in sports projects delivered by the charity.  Arawak Walton has commended our work stating _‘we haven’t had any ASB concerns for months’_ .  This is a stark contrast from when we first started working on the estate.  We are a visible presence, offering the young people a safe space to hook up to our wifi, sit in our van, have a hot drink and chat about topics that are affecting them.  We have seen a shift in attitudes and behaviours as well as the level of trust we have, as a charity, in the area. 

Young people engaged: over 250
