Chair and Chief Executive Introduction

for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

An Introduction from the Chair and Chief Executive.

A National Children's Bureau report by Helen Cowie and Carrie-Anne Myers (Nov 2020) concludes that

"There were many issues that children and young people faced before the pandemic and some of these have now  been
exacerbated by it and remain a priority to be urgently addressed."

The challenge for The Mix could not be clearer.In light of the events that shaped this year, we committed ourselves to
playinga key role in our communityto enable the generationwho have been most significantlyaffectedby the COVID
pandemic,to flourish.From the outsetof the pandemic,whichhas spannedthe whole reportingperiod,our  priorities
and strategy were shaped by the necessity to respond to the immediate and emerging needs of young people.

Impact on our services

Fromtheonsetof thefirstlockdownin March2020throughto March2021,we focussedon adaptingourservices to
enableus to continueto supportas manyyoungpeopleas we could.We were initiallyconcernedthatthe vulnerable
youngpeoplewho we hadpriorities,wouldstruggleto, or choosenot to, accessour services.We were delighted that
this was not the case.We soughtto reintroduceservicesas quicklyas we could,followingguidancefrom the National
Youth Agency on COVID-safe measures and safeguarding best practice.

Impact on our finances

Intheearlystagesoflockdown,itwasnotclearwhatadditionalfinancialsupportwouldbeavailableforcharities, so
the CEO and the trusteesinstigateda monthlyonlinemeetingto ensure we identifiedand were able to deal with, any
emergingissues.Consultationwithfundersresultedinsignificantchangesbeingagreedtoanumberof our
programmes. Importantly,we were able to re-purpose funding to programmes that could be delivered remotely during
lockdown, whilst staff and young people were working and studying from home.We were heavily impacted by the loss
ofincomefromourtradingsubsidiary127Trading,andourdailyroomhireincomewhicheffectivelydried up
overnight.However, this was boostedfrom January2021 to March 2021 as we became a COVID vaccinationcentre for
ourareaworkinginpartnershipwiththelocalGPfederation.Toensurethefutureof127Tradingweintroduced a
rental payment holiday for our businesses which was extended throughout the financial year.

Grantsthatweregivenbyanumberofbodies,fromtheNationalLotteryCommunityFundthroughto local
government,cushionedthefinancialimpactandresultedinusbeinginapositivefinancialpositionattheendof the
reporting period, able to maintain and grow services as the pandemic eased.During 2020/2021we were in receipt of a
total of £129,444 of grant support.

Impact on our people

Wedecidedtoutilisethefurloughschemeforanumberofourstafffromthemomentthatitwasintroduced. Eight

Our youth work throughout the year (by project)

Youth Social Action

In October we launcheda new project to engage young people in the age range 17-24 through youth social action. The
premise of the programme was that it's good to engage in projects which are for the benefit of others. The  expectation
was thatthe participantsdecidedon projectsthemselvesand deliveredthem with the supportand encouragement of
youthworkstaff.Thefirstcohortwereallyoungpeoplewhowereknowntousthroughtheirinvolvementin the

to be vulnerable, given the restrictions that lockdown necessitated.

As well as workingwiththeyoungpeoplewho were alreadya partof theTogetherProject(whichpre covid focussed
on supportingyoungpeople into the workplaceor furthereducation),we transferredyoungpeople from the  coaching
programme to be supported by the Together team.

Many of the young people who accessed this support found it invaluable.

have a longer-termplan to develop a programmecalled "Arts at the Mix" which will be a wider 'arts' offering designed
to engage a greater cross section of young people.

Coaching

This has been a thread that runs through an increasing number of our services. As has already been stated, at the  onset
of lockdownwe moved much of our 1:1 work online enablingus to offer continuityof service and support, particularly
to young people who we deemed vulnerable.Much of this support was based on a coachingmodel and required us  to
adapt existing policies to ensure we operated in a safe and appropriate manner online.

One of the challengeswe faced was the popularityof our coaching.This led to a significantwaiting list. To help us  with
this we ran a pilot 'group coaching'programmecalledDiadem aimed at teenagegirls who were all dealingwith similar
issues.These provedvery successfuland allowedus to reducethe waitinglist significantly.ThroughoutDecember the
coaching team held 49 sessions, virtually and in person comprising of 75 hours of support.

to recruit new people to existing and new roles.

Fundraising.

Early in the reporting period we appointedone of our existing team as fundraiser,with a particularfocus on grants  and
trusts.This is a new post for The Mix as previouslyit has been an add-on to an existing staff member's responsibilities.
In the early monthsof the role the focus was on managingincome from COVID grantsand on gettingagreement from

Training

One of the key elements in our strategyfor the 2020/21period was our trainingoffer.We had committedto investing

confidence and impact in the coaching that we provide.

We also had three staff attainNationalYouthworkAssociationlevel 2 qualifications.The plan is to continueto level 2
and level 3 moving forwards.

Drop-in

The pandemic meant that we did not run any open access youth services in the reporting period.

whichwas undeliverablein itsoriginalformdueto COVIDrestrictions.Withthere-purposedresourceswe were able
to produce a series of videos and online talks,availableon our You Tube channel,and deliver coaching(1:1 and group)
for vulnerable young people.

Our Building

From the momentThe Mix moved into its currentfacilityit has relied on its buildingas a sourceof income. Lockdown
hadanimmediatenegativeimpactonthisbecauseouradhocroomrentalincomeceasedimmediatelyasdid our
rental income from 127 Trading.We continuedto receive income from SuffolkCountyCouncilfor the office suite that

Unsurprisinglyour trading subsidiaryhas experienceda challengingyear.Whilst Brix, our branding and design arm  was

scheme but trading remained very challengingand unprofitablebeyond that.We used reduced staffingand  continued
with the furloughscheme until we were more confidentin the tradingenvironment.However, it remained challenging
or impossible throughoutthe whole period. We were in receipt of crucial support from the local authorityvia a  number
of grants.
