Section D Achievements and performance

SCHOOLS WORK in 2023 continued where 2022 left off where a lot of Summary of the main the work being carried out was meeting the needs of the young people achievements of the charity impacted by COVID. We went into all seven schools in the area – six during the year primary and one secondary. The activities were varied including mentoring one to one and in groups, lunchtime clubs, assemblies, and detached work. In excess of over 300 young people benefited from the work. Transition from Primary to Secondary school activities benefited 120 young people. Practically the project really helped with the transition from primary school to the local secondary school, Kings. It helped pupils during their induction week at Kings and as they start at the school in September. The children found it reassuring and a help seeing a familiar and friendly face as they started at Kings and they know they can ask for support, if needed. In the COMMUNITY TheO6 has also had a positive impact. Over the year we have had well over 140 different young people attend our two weekly Drop-In Sessions. Our Wednesday session is the most popular with up to 45 young people attending. It is a fun time for the young people to come and chill out after a day at school. There are activities for the young people to do as well as plenty of space for them to just hangout. Youth leaders are on hand for young people to talk to if needed. During the Summer of 2023 we also ran a holiday club called Record Breakers. This was for Primary aged school children. This was successful with on average 34 young people attending each day Monday to Friday. We also ran a few activities for the older young people during the summer. They included Paint a Pot, Friendship Bracelet making and an inflatable session. We average around 12-15 young people per session. Our mentoring of two young people continued during 2023. In the various CHURCHES TheO6 has continued to support young people. In one church we ran youth group called Chill Out and 6 young people of secondary school age regularly attended this. At the same church we helped run a monthly Messy Church which had a regular five families coming to. At another church we run a youth group called FiSH, which is again for secondary school aged children. This occurs fortnightly and has between 6-12 young people regularly attending. We did various activities inside and outside. In the summer of 2023, we combined the groups to visit SPREE. This is a Christian Festival for young people organised by Southwest Youth Ministries. Over 1200 young people attend the festival. We took 18 young people to it.
