Para 1.20 | A lot of the work inSCHOOLSinvolved working with young people who had found COVID particularly challenging and for whom, the effects were now beginning to show. At least 10 young people a week were in one-to-one mentoring sessions. Young people struggling with self-harm, eating disorders, depression and social-anxieties. Much needed support was given to the local schools as they were overwhelmed with the consequences of the pandemic. Overall, it is estimated that in excess of 120 young people a week were supported through the various in-school activities. One Year 6 teacher says: “I have seen first-hand some of the many benefits of The06 Project. The project has really helped with the transition from primary school to the local secondary school, Kings. It has helped pupils during their induction week at Kings and as they start at the school in September. The children like seeing a familiar and friendly face as they start at Kings and know they can ask for support, if needed. In theCOMMUNITYduring the academic year 2021/22 TheO6 saw 102 different young people in the Drop In. This led a second session being set up in Autumn 2022 on a Friday after school. The sessions are continually being used to engage with young people and support them. We are finding a number of young people from disadvantaged families use this time to get some food they may not always get at home. One young person has been there since the very beginning. Her name is ‘R’ and she is in Year 10. She said that the group was not 'whack'*. “I enjoy coming and socialising with my friends. I also enjoy being able to chat with ‘G’”. The other youngster is called ‘T’, he is in year 8. His statement was “I love the group because I don't have to go home. I enjoy the cookies and drink”. Also, from a Year 11 Boy: “If it wasn’t for you ‘G’ I wouldn’t be here now”. Part of the work in the community involved a formal mentoring project XL-Mentoring. We have seen three mentoring |
relationships in the last 12 months. One mentoring relationship came to an end in July 2022 after 14-months. All parties involved felt the relationship had been successful and that the objectives had been reached. Two mentoring relationships remain ongoing. In the Summer of 2022 TheO6 ran a holiday club in the community. Over fifty young people registered for the four days and over thirty young people attended each day. (from a parent): “Each summer, The06 Summer Project plans and runs a great holiday club in Ottery St Mary. My own children have attended and thoroughly enjoyed the lively, fun and really well organised club which communicates Bible stories and teaching in a really creative way.” – The project supports young people in the local CHURCHES , running regular youth groups in two different churches and in Summer 2022 taking 15 young people to a local Christian Festival called Spree SW (a hugely popular camping and activity weekend for young people aged 8 to 17)
Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | The charity continues to be in a good financial position. A gift was received from the wind-up of The Station charity, and St Lukes in Newton Poppleford have continued to contribute c. 25% towards the costs of employing the youth pastor. The other Parish churches continue to support us together with a number of regular givers via monthly or annual standing order. We continue to be grateful to the SPACE organisation for covering a substantial percentage of the costs of running the DropIn. |
