The Mix Stowmarket Limited

Chair's Introduction

for the Year Ended 31[st] March 2025

The year has been one of change, with the pace quickening as the year progressed. Some of this change has been challenging, some of this change has been welcome and good, however, through out these times of change the Staff and Volunteers of The Mix and our social enterprise trading company, 127 Trading Ltd, have worked very hard and to serve the young people, and coffee drinkers of mid Suffolk. We applaud the successes of the many young people who we serve, and the wonderful work done by the Staff and Volunteers in support of them.

Through our direct contact with young people, their families, carers, supporters, and via our contacts with Schools and healthcare providers and commissioners, we continue to see the needs of young people in Suffolk grow, particularly to face mental health questions and challenges, and to step forward and thrive with neurodiversity in a world that sometimes struggles to understand them.

Given the growing needs of young people in Suffolk, The Mix is set on growth, so that we become better placed to help support them. To ensure that our house is in order to support growth we have been reviewing our structures and policies. In particular, the Board commissioned an external review of our safeguarding policy and practice which reported in September 2024. We are pleased to say there were no failures or lapses reported, however, our young people deserve the highest quality of service, therefore we have taken all the observations for improvement that the report provided and have an action plan to implement all of them over a 12 month period, which should complete by years end.

Our finances have remained steady due to hard work in fund raising and careful management of resources. We are delighted to say that 127 Trading, our social enterprise has been able to gift a small sum of £5,000 to The Mix this year, and through the work of the trading company staff, we have high hopes for more in future years.

There have been a number of changes to key people. Marisa Batson, a founding trustee of The Mix retired as our Chair, and handed over to Andy Airey as a new trustee and Chair in February 2025. We are grateful for all that Marisa has done to help the Mix flourish over the last 12 years. In addition, a number of new trustees are being recruited to fill spaces on the Board, joining in May 2025. Malcolm Goodwin, who had served as CEO for almost 3 years, left The Mix in early March 2025. We thank him for his work with us. To keep the organisation operating smoothly while we search for a new full time CEO, Jane Crawford joined as interim CEO on a part time basis.

As we move into the coming year, we have growth of services for young people foremost in our minds. We have plans to expand some existing services and are investigating new projects as well. We are also thinking about growth of our social enterprise, not simply to serve more coffee, but to provide more skills training and life experience for young people, and to explore how we may use the venues help to build bridges in society between many groups, with young people at the centre, naturally!

Interim CEO’s Statement for the Year Ended 31[st] March 2025

I am delighted to provide comment to The Mix’s Annual Report for 2024/25 in my position as interim CEO since 11th March 2025.

During 2024/25 there were over 10,000 attendances for young people aged 9–25, offering safe spaces, trusted relationships and bespoke programmes to help young people thrive. On average each young person attends activities or sessions 8 times, some many more and some less.

We continued to support and nurture young people’s wellbeing, mental health and emotional resilience. Through our range of youth worker led programmes including school-based social prescribing, primary school mentoring, Open Access after school and holiday activities, alternative education provision, Violence Against Women and Girl’s programme and a programme to support young people to move into education, employment or training we have helped young people build confidence, develop skills, and overcome the challenges they face – from mental health concerns to barriers to access education and employment.

The organisational changes at the end of the year provided an opportunity to reflect and consider The Mix’s strategy and direction going forward. We have keenly recognised the importance of our staff and volunteers, understanding that it is their dedication and expertise that are central to everything we achieve.

We have built on, and strengthened, our partnerships with local schools, councils, other VCFSE partners and health providers, ensuring our work remains at the heart of the community and is making a difference. We have encouraged our young people to speak out and up and we have listened and heard.

Financially, The Mix remains on a solid footing due to the continued support of our funders, partners, and the local community and we have been able to continue to offer a range of programmes. However, there is more work to do and looking forward we need to increase opportunities to grow our income streams to maintain and develop our facilities here at The Mix – this is indeed a challenge.

Looking ahead, our priorities for 2025/26 are:

On behalf of our staff and volunteers and the young people we support, I would like to thank everyone who has supported The Mix this year. Together, we are helping to create brighter futures for young people in our community.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31[st] March 2025

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The charity exists to advance in life and help primarily young people between the ages of nine and twenty-five who live in the town of Stowmarket, the surrounding towns and villages and the county of Suffolk through:

Public benefit

The trustees have regard for the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. During the year we have delivered public benefit and fulfilled these objectives through, open access youth work, group work, detached youth work, coaching, schools work, one-to-one work and by making our building available to others to support young people and the wider community.

Achievements and performance

We provide a diverse range of engaging activities for young people from 9 to 25 years although the majority of those engaging with us are between 12 and 17 years of age.

On average there are 900 attendances per month. The peak is in June during the Crucial Crew event, where over 1000 individual primary aged school children visited the Mix.

Page 4

The Mix Stowmarket Limited

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31[st] March 2025

Data shows that 95% of all young people supported are aged 11 or older and 59% of young people attending are female and 36% male.

We know we have made a difference to our young people through our various data collection methods. For example, data shows that in 2024/25 young people surveyed at the beginning and end of their programme reported a 62% positive change in their emotional fitness and resilience. Our impact, is most powerful when hearing it from the young people themselves as shown below:

R’s Story

I began Thrive in September 2023. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but have developed new friendships and communication skills during my time there. I am still good friends with somebody I met at Thrive. I am really proud of my contribution to all of the activities, particularly the restaurant project and how it came together. Some highlights of my time at Thrive have been learning about different cultures during the Chinese New Year , Day of the dead, Burns night and the Viking festival projects. I have practised interview skills and Thrive has helped me a lot with writing a CV. I now feel confident that I can present myself well. Thrive also helped me to get a job at The Duck and Teapot. After completing a successful work experience with the team, where I worked in the “shake-shack”, preparing milkshakes, then preparing and serving food. I approached Dan, the catering manager, and asked about employment. This led to regular work at weekends and school holidays, also I will be working more once my GCSEs are complete. I really enjoy being in the work environment, which has helped me prepare for the real world- and my latte art is coming along nicely!

Any advice for future Thrive students?

Don’t feel like you can’t open up to the people here, as they actually listen and have some good advice. You can speak in confidence.

My next steps will be working more through the summer until starting college in September to complete an automotive course at West Suffolk College. I am so ready for this!

K’s story

K has been part of the Together Project since March 2024. In that time K has received one to one coaching and support with a Youth Worker. When the current Together Project Youth worker saw K in March 2025, K had a new CV and had taken part in work experience at a local charity shop. K decided that retail wasn’t right and wanted some support to look for something else. K had been told they were slow, and they had hurt themselves on a steamer, this had knocked K’s confidence. K started to feel ready again for another placement. In the coaching sessions K has learnt how to write emails to prospective employers, has discovered that they would like to take part in some short courses and has enrolled onto them and has taken part in volunteering at a local gardening project.

What do you think of the Together Project?

“I think it is helpful, it has helped me, it has helped me with volunteering, I wouldn’t have known about the volunteering project otherwise”.

What have you achieved by being part of the Together Project?

“I have learnt how to send emails, trying different volunteering, Mind was out of my comfort zone, this has been the right sort of thing for me, all spread out, I’m not all working in the same areas, much more relaxed.”

Volunteers

Our volunteers continue to be integral members of our team, without their hard work and support we would not be able to achieve much of what we do. During 2024/25, over 2,800 hours of volunteer time supported our youth work teams. Our Empower team made up 34% of these hours.

Charitable Activities

Together Programme

The Together Project supports young people aged 15-25 onto their next steps, whether that is into education, employment or training. We take a person-centred approach and aim to take young people on a journey to discover their true value and build their confidence. We offer 1:1 coaching with a youth worker, employability skills workshops, work experience and volunteering support.

Thrive

Thrive is our alternative education provision based at The Mix. We focus on leading young people to develop positive thinking, build resilience, grow perseverance, develop character and thrive. Within the team we have curriculum experts and academic support for Maths and English. This is for secondary aged students on roll at a local mainstream school. Students attend one day a week, term time only.

Empower

Empower is our 1:1 primary school mentoring programme, offering support to children with strategies to reduce anxiety, reduce low self-esteem and increase resilience. It’s never been more important to support early intervention so by working with year 5 or 6 children we hope to prevent ongoing issues. Research shows that one in ten children in the UK feel unable to cope with the school day, and almost two thirds say they worry “all the time”. Pupils are offered one hour per week mentorship with trained volunteers during an academic year.

Open Access / Detached

Open access means ‘available to all’. We offer a range of options including Drop-Ins, a weekly space for young people to hangout, make friends and enjoy time in a safe space. Holiday activities happen outside of term time with a range of activities. We also offer detached youth work through our open access team. We offer sessions for young people aged 11-19 including in our dedicated Hut in Needham Market.

Young Leaders

Young Leaders is our bespoke young leader training and education programme for anyone aged 16-19. Aiming to equip young people with the skills and tools to grow as leaders, this combines training, wellbeing support, mentoring and socials to ensure young people are receiving all-round support.

Crucial Crew

Crucial Crew is our annual safety event for Year 6’s across Mid Suffolk. It is fun, informative and lifesaving! Timed deliberately at the transition from primary to secondary school, it helps children understand more about becoming more independent and raises awareness of risky behaviours and their consequences, including anti-social behaviours, drugs and alcohol, emotional fitness, healthy eating and fire safety. This is a fantastic annual event where The Mix partners with a variety of voluntary and community sector organisations including but not limited to Suffolk Fire Service, Suffolk Constabulary, Turning Point and School Nursing teams.

Schools’ Team – Youth Social Prescribing

This is an innovative programme, offering social prescribing within school’s settings across Babergh and Mid Suffolk. Social prescribing is already an integral part of health and wellbeing support for adults across Suffolk and we are able to provide this early intervention to young people too but based in schools. Our School’s Link Workers are based in Stowmarket High School, Stowupland High School, Thurston Community College and Holbrook Academy.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial Position

The Mix reported an operating surplus for the year of £18,167 (2024: deficit £56,380).

The Mix generated a turnover of £1.5M (2024: £1.4M) and of this, the trading subsidiary's turnover was £625k (2024 £629k).

Funding sources

The Mix acknowledges and thanks every person, organisation and business that has supported the charity through the year. There are a number of sponsors, donors and funding organisations (mainly via grants) that The Mix would like to expressly name, and thank for their contributions (in alphabetical order):

ASDA Foundation Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Community Action Suffolk Eastern Counties Educational Trust Garfield Weston Henry Smith Foundation Herefordshire Community Foundation Howden’s Joinery New Relic Muntons PLC Police and Crime Commissioner for Suffolk PPG industries Rookery Bowls Club Skinners (formerly Lawrence Atwell Charity) Stephen Walters Ltd Stowmarket Town Council Suffolk County Council Suffolk Community Foundation Tesco Stronger Starts - Groundwork The Ropes Trust The National Lottery

Reserves policy

The reserves policy was updated on 13th November 2024 (from the previous review in January 2023).

Trustees have considered the size of the charity and the resources at its disposal. At present, it is neither possible or desirable to hold large reserves and Trustees have remained realistic about the assessment of need. Based on this, Trustees require minimum reserves equivalent to three (3) months operating expenses, in line with Charity Commission best practise guidance.

Taking expected cost of living increases into account, the minimum reserve is set at £175,000.

Reserves Held

Total reserves of the charitable company group at 31[st] March 2025 amounted to £155,456 (2024 £137,289), an increase of £18,167. Unrestricted reserves freely available to spend amount to £68,118 (2024: £23,945).

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for the financial year from the authorising of these financial statements.

The budgeted income and expenditure are sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTANTIES

The Mix is not risk averse. Working with young people has inherent risks. The financial background against which we work is uncertain. The Mix will take risks to deliver its aims, but will always aim to identify and manage those risks.

Risk identification

The Operations Manager is accountable for, and all staff are responsible for, the identification of risks. Risks are reviewed and captured quarterly on a risk register. Risks are assessed in the following categories: reputational, financial, safeguarding, premises, and operational.

Risk assessment

Risks are assessed as follows: · Likelihood on a 4-point scale: 1 unlikely, 2 possible, 3 probable, 4 likely. · Impact on a 4- point scale: 1 limited, 2 moderate, 3 significant, 4 major.

The overall risk size is then calculated by multiplying the likelihood and the impact. The risk size will be presented as a heat map, with risks with a size 12-16 characterised as red, 6-12 characterised as amber, 1-6 characterised as green.

Risk management

All orange and red risks will be actively managed. The Operations Team, led by the Operations Manager, will determine a risk management plan, and calculate the residual risk size in the light of the planned management actions. This will also be presented as a heat map.

Monitor and assess risks

The CEO and Operations Manager will review the risk register monthly, and monitor progress of agreed actions. The Trustees will formally review the risk register 3 times a year, holding the CEO to account for the identification, assessment and management of risks.

FUTURE PLANS

Our future is about increasing our reach of young people we help. More and more we need to re-double our efforts to reach out to those who might not already know about us and the services we provide.

Our future is also about growing our networks, partnerships and nurturing those fundamental relationships with our funders and trusted partners.

This means that we seek a greater reach with a more agile and equipped team of youth workers. The charity will be seeking greater financial certainty and flexibility so that we can continue to deliver the excellent programmes we already provide, yet quickly and efficiently respond to the changing needs of young people. We also expect to explore new ways of reaching young people across the county, and especially those harder to reach out-of-town young people.

Whilst the challenges facing young people are profound, and likely to be increasing over the next period, we remain resolute and committed to providing the best possible care and support for our county's most valuable asset.

We expect to expand our trading subsidiary, 127 Trading Limited, which will play an increasingly important role in providing the additional unrestricted funding needed to underpin our financial stability and strength, and most critically, to help provide social benefit to young people through opportunities for training and work experience.

The Mix Stowmarket Limited

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities for the Year Ended 31[st] March 2025

The trustees (who are also the directors of The Mix Stowmarket Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

Page 12

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Mix Stowmarket Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Mix Stowmarket Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and associated notes, and other notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group Annual Reports, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Page 13

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Mix Stowmarket Limited

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 14

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Mix Stowmarket Limited

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the group's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Page 15

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Mix Stowmarket Limited

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31[st] March 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

The presentational currency of these financial statements is pounds sterling, amounts are rounded to whole pounds.

Group Accounts

As required by the Charities SORP, Group accounts have been prepared to combine the charity and its trading subsidiary 127 Trading Limited. The subsidiary is controlled 100% by The Mix Stowmarket Limited. These accounts therefore show the consolidated results of the Group. The information presented therefore shows the position of the Group as a whole, and if required either by accounting standards or to provide adequate disclosure the single entity of the parent - The Mix Stowmarket Limited.

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees are confident that sufficient funding will be received to enable the charity to continue as a going concern.

Income

Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Funding received for projects/activities where terms or conditions exist which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is treated as deferred income.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Cafe equipment - 20% on cost IT and other equipment - 20-33% on cost

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Designated funds are unrestricted but specified by the trustees to be used for specific purposes.

Restricted funds can only be used for specific restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor/funder or when funds are raised for specific restricted purposes.

The Mix Stowmarket Limited currently has funds restricted to the following purposes:

Schools Youth work

Providing one to one coaching sessions and group work for young people in secondary schools. This programme provides quiet, safe spaces for reflection and an available adult to emotionally support young people on the return to successful learning and re-entering classrooms.

Open Access

These open-access or "drop in" sessions are provided at both Stowmarket within the Mix building and Needham Market in the "Hut" at Crowley Park. Not only do these sessions provide after school and holiday activities for young people, but they also enable direct access to further services that the Mix provide through the youth workers providing support at these sessions.

Detached Project

Detached programmes take youth work to young people where they are in their communities with the aim of reducing barriers to young people accessing our support and services.

Coaching 1 to 1

We provide mentoring and coaching to young people across all our youth work projects. Our youth workers engage in monthly professional supervision sessions from an accredited coach and counsellor for support and reflection.

Thrive Sessions

Our alternative education provision supported students from local mainstream secondary schools for a full day each week for the school year. Responding to the needs of the young people we provide a mixture of one-toone mentoring and coaching, vocational and work-based skills development.

Crucial Crew

Crucial Crew is an annual event for around 1200 Year 6 pupils in mid-Suffolk aimed at improving their safety awareness.

Together

The Together Project supported young people aged 15 - 24 looking to take their next step into employment, education, or training. We helped young people move from NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) back into school, or work, other training, change jobs or get a second job.

Empower (formerly Greenlights)

Provision of weekly mentoring for year 6 pupils focusing on emotional wellbeing, social skills, resilience, and secondary school transition.

Youth Social Prescribing

A programme offering social prescribing within school’s settings across Babergh and Mid Suffolk.
