ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Ch4ritable activities
Pl)oenix has gone from btrength lo strength during the past twelve months. we have continued to deliver on the Government initiaiive
LallLd Multiplv; uur funding hd% Loille froin the Livci-pool Citv RLgion, tlirough IVEA and Sefton Council.
Multiply is about reintroducing people to maths and can be for emploved or uiiemployed local residei)Is who don't CLLrrently have a
Level 2 qualitication. This fundiiigF is allowin&7 US to expaiid into oiiline support acros.s the whole Lii¢rpool City Re&Tioii.
Tlicrc is a coIilinually growing nicd in thL arLa for supporting young pLoplc and widLr Lommunity members who arL Llthcr Not in
Employinent, Educatioll or Training (NEET) or pre- NEET. We secured shorl-lem] funding for The Progress Partnership (TPP) trom
the Liverpool City Region through a giant from the VOLA ConsortLUrn.
We have sinve secured funding for another year for TPP and we hope lo gel a Ihird year next April as we eni'isage that Ihis is still an
arLa of dcvLlopmLnt and growth for the project long-tLrm.
Th¢r¢ are no other organisations in th¢ ar¢a offerin(F this service. We ¥ontinu¢ lo work even inore collaboratively with Pathways 2
Phoenix. We continue to .%hare biJil(ling co%t% Iinil administrdtive costs, such qiidlitication Inemher%hip, a% well %haringT skill% And
siaffing in order for both orgFanisaliuns to be able lo orrer a wider range of oplioiis for young, pL'uplc <ind to secure fundingv that neiiher
organisation would be able to secure without the guppon ot.the other. Our disability projeLls have coniinued lo inLretsse membership,
and ive have continued lo offer an ¢x¢ell¢nt servi¢¢ to the young, people. which has be¢n made possible througph the fundin&p we have
received to develop it.
Fundralslng Actl*ltles
Once again, we have had great sulcess in oui. t"undraising efforts during the yethr, n)0st of which has come in order lo help d¢liver
projects based on need. now thai we have moved away trom Chasing) tuiidin&i, which we oriLiinally did in order io byet tlie Project
esiabli5hed and recognised in the field. However, as predicted seven years ago. il has become increasingly difficult with many more
bids being written due lo the high number of rejeLlions being reLeived, %0 we have doiie exLeptiunally well io raise as mu¢h as we
have.
We once agiaiii reviewed our fundraisin&F successes and failures at a Iruslees, meelin&i and we ideiitified that nothingy liad ¢han&?ed from
the previous year.. we M'ere still being successful wilh some funding bids bui we were actually being iurned down by Inore funders
than wv wvre %eLuring fundiny trom.
Once aoain, our investigation as to why this was happening came 10 the conclusion that we were Still writing really good qualit> bids
bul foulld that we had niuch more ¢OTnpetilion than in previous years due to deepeningy ciils to Local Authority tundinby, IneaningF tlial
Inany more VCF organisalions have been sel up. chasing increasingly less funding available.
We decided, once again, to review our three-year funding strategy to refleci Ihis downturn in available grani fund; ¢0 bring forward
other funding opportlinilies; and to explDre new avenlies and fundiiig streams. This also meanl revisiling Olir Organisalional
Dev¢lopinent Plan as they are both intrinsically linked to each other in term5 of successfully achievinbT our developnient plan,
depending largely on S¢Luring the funding Ideniified.
It is extrernely important for us to get Ihe balaiice right between securing ihe restricled funds needed io meet the identified needs of
the eommunily, and unrestricted free reserves that will ensure that we ean be flexible lo respond to an immediate need or lo
contribute towards core costs that are dilticuli lo secure througrh funding bids.
We have incrcd%Ld the dmount ut uni'L.%triLtcd funding thi% )car. tnorc tlian anv otlier ycar. and hopc that this will LontinLlC in Ihc
tulure. We need to be oble lo secure enougli reserves in order to be able lo nianage tor a period ot. tliTee ￿O￿th5 in the ever more
likel¥ event of having probleiiis in securing funding although, as we have differet)t end dateg for ditTerent fundei's, it is very unlikely
that all our ￿lnding1 tr)r %alarie% will have ended all al the same time a% we will have tounol further fundingy for key po%t%.
Our mcmbLrship of the VOLA Consortium Lotitinucs lo bL worthwhilL as it is likely VOLA will SLeurc Govcrnmcnt or Liverpool
City Region tunding which we will be able to apply tor as pan ot- the partnership.

Project Manager's report

difficult and challenging year il's beenl
We had no direct Government fundins7 for our NEET Project and have had to secure byraiil funding from charitable orgTaiii5atioiis and
froin Sefion Couiicil's Higher Needs Funding programme for those sludenls wilh additional support i)eeds and funding for The
Progrcss Panncrship.
During the last twelve Inonthb one of our disability workei's left and our apprentice Lompleted at￿ took up a permanent post with
Pathway% 2 Plioeiiix. Statling? on our NEET project hd5 Stdyecl consi%tenl Ihroug,hout tlie fir.41 half of tlie yeur, which ha% l)ad a
posilive impact on Ihe young people wilh some greai results in lernis se¢uring employmenl and Fiirlher Ediicaiion.
We decided, during the year, that we could no longer Ineet the needs ol. Ihe increasing nuinber ot. voung people with Education and
Healih Care Plans (EHC'P) and pass¢d this work onio a national company called SWRAC. We rransferred one of our staff metnb¢rs
over lo SWRAC purt of the proce%% in order to gil'e hiin job %ecurity.
I have Lontinued to have the opportunity ot working with a great group of cominilted trustees. I have also worked with ninny other
people who have &yiven me some wondert.ul suppon and advice alonL? the way. Inost notably the VOLA leam and fundraisingi experts
ai Sefton CVS, who have always been on the end of the phone, einails and support meetings. The wider CVS team and I have also
coiilinued lo have great 4upDort troin dll the %lAIt'dl the Cominunily Foiindalion toi. Mer%e)'.%ide.

our conlracl wilh Meols c.op High School 10 ediiuale piipils al risk of exclLlSlOn.
The trustees have Inade tlie dirricult decision lo end Ihe Pre-16 support as Governin¢nl Alternative Education guidelines changed: for
LIS to Lonlinue this work we would haile needed 10 becoine an Independent School K,hiLh, t.or a kariety of reasons, would be very
ditlic.ult ID acliieve, the hi&'gye8t issue beingy the preinises. We liave also slopped providinbj aliernaiive education tor our personal and
social developinenl disability projects for young people aged 13-19 and oui. 19+ disability project due lo the freelance staff leaving
fur p¢r4uii&l 144LI¢S.
We have secured funding trom the following charitable organisations: Liverpool One Community FoLindation, WEA, VOLA
Cons)rtium 35 wel l Setlon Council HigFlier Needs Funding.
As prL'diLILd in lust yLuf s rLpoit, it ha% Luntinucd tu bL ditTIL'ult to rai%L' fund% thi￿ yLdr, with InurL' dppliLuliL)ns bLing dL'LlinL(J than in
previous years. This is noi Just a problem for us since it is a wider issue of the difficuliies beiiig faced by all VCF organisations with
an iiiLreasing nlimber of organisations chasiiig a deLreasiiig amolint of lunding. We are continuing being offered less money than we
ask for. aiid have lo secure lurtheT lundingr lo either continue the Project or to reduce the lengyth of tlie Project.

FUTURE PLANS
At the start of the new financial year, we had the opportunit} to sit down with the trustees, youns, people and other service users to
look at what ￿e achieved diinng 2024125; whal we Thyanted to acl)ieve as an organisallon during 2025126 and beyond,. pill thein into a
plan: and %LII thbout aLhieving thLm.
During 2024125, we continued to take a balanced approach lo what was needed in order to rneet the organisalional dei'elopmenl plan
for the year, continuingF Wlth a targieted approach to our li]ndraisingF and coiitinuiiig lo identify Comniunity needs and wants throu(vh
our comprehensive Cominiinily Profile and Youtli Fotijm.
Wilh all tlii5 in mind, we once again revisited the business plan, tinancial predictions and our aims and objectives to ensure tliey were
working docuinents that were fit lor purpo<e. which they were.
Our aims and objectives of the Projecl, sel oui in our Memornndum of Articles, r¢mained unchanged and are..
l . lo act as a resource tor young people up to tlie age of. 25, providing 5UPPOrt, EbS51Stance and organising programmes ot. physical,
educational and other activities as a means of advancing life;
2. helping young people by developing capaciiies and skill< capabilities to enable tliein to parti￿1pate in socieiy ab independent,
mature aiid responsible individuals;
advancing education.
relieving uneinployineni,.
5. providinky recreational and leisure tiine actlvily 111 the interests of. social welfare for all people livin&1 in the area. regyardless ot their
age. sexual orienlalion, gender. race, disability or social aiid economic circumslances.
We agreed that these aims &nd ¢)bjectives were still fit for purpose, based on our priorities for the future, with the last paragraph
sutli¢ienl lo encoinpass potential expai)sion 11110 workiiigi with tlie wider comniunily. in particular older people aiid Eastern European
fainilies as boih these groups have an extremely l)igh representation in Souihporl.
Our meeiings and consullalions with the service users. siaff, and ihe trusiees identified ¢he need lo achieve the following in order to
give us stability and growth,.
i'edevelop our three and five year developnienl plon;
2. redevelop our three-year fundraising plan for sustainability purposes;
explore turther provision tor older meillber5 01, the community;
recruit und train voluntLLrs to allLVlUtL fLlianLL on lunding %tal't saluriLs'
Continue to secure real life trainii)g opportunities for the N EET young people, making them more employable,.
eonliniie to explore other 8oiirc.es of fiinding siich as spongorship from local biisinesse.g.
It was agreed that we still needed two developinent plans and that both needed revisiting. The tirst, lor three vears, lakes into accounl
the Eastbank Street building and whether this building would Lontinu¢ lo m¢¢1 our projeil needs. The s¢cond, a more flexible
five-year plan to include any iiew i'enlures.
All in all, WL havcii'l achiLvcd muLh idcnlilicd in thL Projcct Dcvclopinint Plan tliis yLar, but liopc to n)akc huge stcps next ycar.
