## **Youth Outreach 1st April 2024 – March 2025** ## **Salford** **Areas covered:** Charlestown, Pendleton, Salford Quays, Langworthy, Weaste and Ordsall **Total number** : (males) = 3,890 **Total number** : (females) = 1,467 **Some of our delivery outcomes/information:** The Mancunian Way team has been integral to working alongside Greater Manchester Police and other service to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour. More recently, the team was involved in something very high profile which they worked with GMP to ensure safety on the streets. For confidentiality purposes, this information has been kept classified but what we can confirm is that our staffing team have been commended for their dedication and efforts to ensure the streets are safer and reported a very serious crime as soon as it was discovered. The team worked closely with the emergency services (Fire and Police) over the summer, to ensure water safety down at Salford Quays. Young people had been jumping in the water from the bridges nearby. This is very unsafe as the water is laden with all sorts of things including shopping trolleys and metal. This is a potential danger if a young person (or anyone) decided to jump into that water, therefore we promoted safety and spent a lot of time over the summer with the young people speaking to them and deterring them from the water. The team made a discovery of large amounts of discarded counterfeit goods. This was reported and Salford Council dealt with this swiftly. We don’t know why the goods were there but there were large quantities of clothing etc, all of which had been dumped. The team have been crucial in keeping parks safe, particularly lately with a safeguarding issue that has been reported via Greater Manchester Police. We have worked with local policing teams and Salford City Council. ## **Quotes from YP in the community about our work:** “having the youth workers here is good, we have someone to talk to” “I look forward to seeing Mancunian Way van every week” “Fun, good chats and always there every week” ## **Cheetham Hill** **Areas covered:** Cheetham Hill **Total number** : (males) = 5,730 **Total number** : (females) = 982 ## **Some of our delivery outcomes/information:** Originally the team were delivering two sessions per weeks which have now become 4. We are seeing lots of new faces every week but fewer females on the streets. When we asked the parents and local people it is thought that they don’t feel safe on the streets, particularly at the moment. We have been asked to help the local McDonalds restaurant at the Fort in Cheetham Hill. Young people were destroying the interior, ripping the seats with knives and throwing drinks and food everywhere. The staff was at their wits end and the police were being called as well as security but it wasn’t enough as it had become evident that the kids didn’t care and authority wasn’t going to deter. Our team was asked to intervene and build a rapport with the young people (which the team did over weeks) and from those conversations about respect, consequences and personal responsibility was brought to the fore. This promoted some change in the behaviours as the team now had the young people’s attention and respect. We were then able to speak to them about the damage in McDonalds and how this was a community issue and that it was causing financial damage as well as reputational damage. We mentioned that older people may be frightened to go into McDonalds, if they witnessed young people ripping the seats. We asked “what if that was your nan or grandad, what if they wanted a coffee and to sit down in peace but were so terrified”. One young man said “I would go mad if I saw kids wrecking a place and my Nana was in there”. We then said “ok, so do you see how this could be perceived? How scary for older people and vulnerable people you look”? After weeks of working in that community, sitting in the McDonalds, standing outside it, talking to the kids etc – we have made huge inroads! We have eradicated the issue in one swoop! No more destroying inside, no more ASB. The young people would rather stand with our team, drinking a brew, playing a game of football or basketball than cause mayhem. They were bored and, whilst we never condone such behaviour, we need to divert and give these young people something else to do. Our work is on the streets, in the cold, in the snow, in the rain and in the hot sun. Our team walks around the estates and we find young people and we chat to them informally about issues they want to discuss. They may want to kick a ball around or they may just want to sit and chat. We don’t charge for any of the activities which ensures social inclusion for everyone. The team have reported a couple of safeguarding issues over to the authorities regarding this area. One is being monitored at the moment to ascertain more information. We work with Arawak Walton Housing Association and Young Manchester. ## **Quotes from YP in the community about our work:** “the team are great, I like chatting to them” - “Mancunian Way always has snacks for us, thank you” “I like the team, someone to talk to” ## **Trafford** **Areas covered:** Urmston, Flixton and Partington **Total number** : (males) = 3,121 **Total number** : (females) = 1,980 ## **Some of our delivery outcomes/information:** In the Urmston area of Trafford, the team noticed a car parked up in a walk-inn centre afterhours. It would sit there with the engine running for long periods of time and the team noticed teenagers would, at times, go over to the car. This made the team suspicious. It may have been linked to criminal activity. The team also noticed that when they walked over to the car – the young man in the driving seat would drive off. This again seemed strange and the information was reported to the police. The team watched the activity, seeing the man park up and wait for someone to come…. The team reported to GMP and officers were sent out. The vehicle hasn’t been seen for a while recently and we don’t know why he was there as we wouldn’t get to know this information necessarily but we know that something wasn’t quite right hence why we observed and passed intel over. We were tasked to work in Sale Waterpark over the summer. Reports of men having sex in the woodlands area and could be seen by people walking past (including potentially children). Our team were asked to keep young people safe and report anything untoward. We of course stepped up visibility and made sure we were present and walked around the area several times every shift. We didn’t seen anything particularly concerning but, sometimes, people do move on when they see an organisation working there and walking round as it disrupts them. During the summer though, we did see young people all gathering, smoking cannabis and drinking at Sale Waterpark. We spent a lot of time talking to the young people about drugs, dangers, alcohol. We signposted young people to agencies too. We also put out a fire that had been started on a bench when a group had started BBQ and left it burning on a wooden bench which was minutes from going up in flames. The team removed the BBQ and let it burn on the concrete which ensured safety and the bench didn’t go on fire. We then alerted the Fire Service, making them aware that this could be an issue. We advised metal benches would be better. Alongside this work, we continue our work on the streets in Partington – speaking to dozens of young people every shift. We have played many games with them, including cricket as some young people had been watching Freddie Flintoff on TV and wanted to play. We have prevented crime and ASB by diverting young people’s attention and offering positive activities and conversations weekly. This work can be informal workshops / mentoring or more focused discussions where we have collated consultation information. Our work is linked with Trafford Crime and Community Safety at the council. ## **Quotes from YP in the community about our work:** “they are always here every week and we get a hot drink” “we played cricket, it was great and I’d like to get better at it” “when winter comes, we get hot soups and pot noodles and I like this because it gets cold outside” Mancunian Way Registered Charity No 1148085 Annual report and unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 Mancunian Way 31 MARCH 2025 CONTENTS P8ge Trustees.
