Structurei governance and management
Egremont Youth Partnershlp {EYP) was formed In 2012 to address the lack of youth provision in Egremont and the
surrounding area. At the time there was no bespoke youth centre in Egremont, and we operated from the old
Methodist Church Hall In the town centre, The hall was initially rented but In 2015 EYP acquired and refurblshed It wlth
the help of Francls C Scott Charitable Trust and the WREN Environmental Trust. It now provides a 8ood-slzed youth
space wlth anclllary kitchen and office. Our central locatlon Is accesslble on foot from the surroundlng houslng areas
and there are good bus servlces nearby. We became a Charltable Incorporated Or8anisation in 2013.
staffing has remalned conslstent over the past 12 months wlth our Centre Manager Tracy Mcfadden supported by
three part-tlme youth workers. Our Trustees brin8 accountancy, rlsk assessmentlhealth and safety and publlc sector
management backgrounés wlth them. We have recently recrulted an additional Trustee, brinBlng the number active
within the or8anisatlcn to four althou8h we are aware of the need to for more and younger Trustees,
Objectlves and actlvltles

Oetached work 3 x a week before or durlng the indoor sessions
In our se551on5 we 8et to know the young people and the issues they are faclng. We record progress in their personal
development, and Some go on to acquire accredlted outcomes, The sort of proEre55 we are talkin8 about Is creatlng
sense of worth, an opportunity to relate positlvely wlth peers, gaining personal Ilfe sk1115 and becomlng better prepared
to face the future whether that be through tralnlng or employment. Our sesslons Included issue-based work on drug
abuse, the risks of vaping In young people, mental health and wellbeln& and the ri5k5 of anti-50cial behaviour wlthin
young people and their peer groups. Our Thursday Fuslon se5slons are targeted at young people wlth learnin8
dlfficulties. We regularly undertake detached youth prov151on within the area of Egrernont, 8eneratlng good local
rapport with local shops and storefronts ensuring a focused approach to our youth provision.
For many young people our programme provldes a positive alternatlve to bein8 on the streets. It Is a pro8ramme
driven by their needs and asplratlons but also Influenced by the concerns of the local popu5ation, schools, and
bu5ine55es. Over the past 12 months our young people have engaged in six litter picks around the town of Egremont
and taken ownership of the youth centre garden ensuring It is well maintalned and looked after. Lltter plcks in the
town have been well attended with a minlmum Df 8 young people per Iltter pick.

on grant aid and we are fortunate to have had ongoin8 SUPPOrt from the Copeland Communlty Fund, the Francis C

We are pleased to report that we have si8ned up to the FCSCT Core Youth Work Programme whlch gives us a lon8-term
fundlng asreement and relleves us from a conslderable amount of paperwork, subject of course to us contlnuing to
dellver, and show that we are delivering, good quallty youth work.
In terms of project dellvery mention should be made of Sellafleld Ltd who, through the Copeland Ycuth Network, has
funded work deslgned to Improve employabllity and broaden cultural horlzons.
