The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page l. Structure, governance and management Egremont Youth Partnership IEYPI was formed in 2012 to address the lack of youth provision in E8remont and the surrounding are3. At the time there was no bespoke youth centre In Egremont, and we operated from the old Methodlst Church Hall In the town centre. The hall was initially rented but in 201S EYP acquired and refurbished it with the help of Francis C Scott Charitable Trust and the WREN Environmental Trust. It now provides a good-sized youth space wlth ancillary kitchen and office. Our central location is accessible on foot from the surrounding housing areas and there are good bus services nearby. We became a Charitable Incorporated Organisatlon in 2013. Staffing has remained consistent over the past 12 months with our Centre Manager Tracy Mcfadden supported bv three part-tlme youth workers. Our Trustees bring accountancy, rlsk assessment/health and safety and public sector management backgrounds with them. We have recently recruited an additional Trustee, brin8lng the number active withln the organisation to four although we are aware of the need to for more and younger Trustees. Ob]ectlves and actlvltles Our mission is to support the health and wellbelng of young people In E8remont and Its surrounding area. Our weekly provlsion In Aprll 2025 was: Average Attendonce Monday - Westlake's school alternative provlslon 12 Young People. Monday- Senlor Youth Group113-19Yrsl - 26 Young People.

Thursday- Beckermet {13-19}- 25 Young People. Friday - West Lakes School Alternative Provlsion - 8 Youn8 People. Friday - Senior Youth Group113-191- 28 Young people. In our sessions we get to know the young people and the Issues they are faclng. We record progress In thelr personal development, and some go on to acquire accredited outcomes, The sort of progress we are talking about is creating a sense of worth, an opportunlty to relate posltively wlth peers, gainlng personal life skills and becoming better prepared to face the future whether that be through tralnlng or employment. Our sessions included issue-based work on drug abuse, thq risks of vaping in young people, mental health and wellbeing, and the risks of anti-social behaviour withln young people and their peer groups. Our Thursday Fusion sessions are targeted at young people with learnlng difficulties. We regularly undertake detached youth provision withln the area of Egremont, generating good local rapport with local shops and storefronts ensurin8 a focused approach to our youth provision, For many young people our programme provldes a positive alternative to being on the streets. It is a programme driven by their needs and aspirations but also influenced by the concerns of the local populatlon, schools, and businesses. Over the past 12 months our young people have engaged in eight litter picks around the town of Egremont and taken ownership of the youth centre garden ensuring it is well maintained and looked after. Litter picks in the town have been well attended with a minimum of 10 young people per litter pick. Page 2
Egremont Youth Partnershlp Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025 Feedback from young people is sought at the end of each youth work sesslon and Individual written feedback from workshops 15 used as an indication of their relevance and effectiveness as well as being Incorporated in the development file for that person. We find that young people gain partlcular benefit from activities that they themselves lead. A group of ten young people took part in the nationally accredited ASDAN skills award scheme, planning and organising a trip to Manchester including visits to the Science and Industry Museum and Ice Skating. They learned to recognise the life skills they needed to develop and recorded their progress in individual web-based journal5. We are a part of a co-ordinated approach to youth provision in Copeland, Together with elght other provlders we make up the Copeland Youth Network which has a co-ordlnatlng role in sharing good practice and supportln8, and on occasion frontln& funding applications. We are a key member of the E8remont Community Alcohol Partnership in which we work wlth the local Police Community Support Officer to identify and make contact wlth vulnerable youn8 people involved in risk taking behaviour at an early stage. We have a positive relationship with the secondary school In the town, West Lakes Academy, E8remont Youth partnershlp currently hosts a provislon from the school on a weeklv basls supportlng a number of young people to attain self-confldence and self-worth and opportunitles In thelr education, these are a group who do not re8ularly engage in school, however withln the youth centre they are thriving. and on occaslon we have acted in a 5upportlng role when issues arise with individual puplls we know. Followlng dlscusslons wlth Beckermet Readlng Rooms we successfully dellvered a pllot weekly youth sesslon In the Reading Rooms. Youn8 people from the Thornhlll and Beckermet communltles attended on a weekly basls and showed positive progress as a part of this youth provlslon. We are now looklng toward the future of thls project with a plan to seek further fundlng to contlnue the delivery of thls provlslon with a plan on expanslon. Achlevements and performance Our support for young people is deslgned to make a posltlve contrlbutlon thelr Ilfe, acqulrln8 the personal values, skllls and confidence needed to make a successful transitlon into and through thelr teenage years and into adulthood. We want to avold them becoming dependent on alcohol, self-harming or developln8 eatlng dlsorders. We measure progress in terms, for Instance, of improved self-confldence and $0¢Sal skllls, awareness of the Issues a550clated with risk taking and the avallability of healthy Ilvln8 Optlons. In thls way we can show progress In many Indivldual young people. Over the last year we engaged wlth 602 young people of whom 157 attended more than ten sesslons and for 210 we had recorded posltive outcomes or accreditations arislng from ASDAN, workshops or practical activities. We also supported the social development of 15 youn8 people with serlous learnin8 or physical dlsabilitles. There is also a wider beneflclal community impact frorn our activities through reductlons In anti-social behaviour and through young people adoptlng healthier lifestyles. An Indlrect effect but one which adds welght to our work. Bulldlng Improvements In March 2024 the Decommlssloning Delivery Partnershlp IDDPI which represents the major contractors working on Sellafield decommlssioning agreed to fund a package of refurbishment works on our building including the essential replacement of the floor, damp eradicatlon and more energy efficient lighting and heating.

Egremont Youth Partnership Report of the trustee5 for the year ended 31 March 2025 Financlal revlew Income and expenditure were very much in line with expectations. As with all youth provlders we are very dependent on grant aid and we are fortunate to have had ongoing support from the Copeland Community Fund, the Francis C Scott Charitable Trust IFCSCTI. the Garfield Weston Trust and Egremont Town Council. As noted above the Sellafield Decommissioning Delivery Partner5hlp generously funded all the costs associated with the building renovations. The improved building now appears as a slgnificant asset on the balance sheet. We are signed up to the FCSCT Core Youth Work Programme whlch glves us a long-term funding agreement and relieves us from a considerable amount of paperwork, subject of course to us continuing to deliver, and show that we are deliverin& good quality youth work. In terms of project delivery the Sellafleld Youth Development Fund is a key source of income for project work designed to improve employabllity and broaden cultural horlzons. The start-up of the Beckermet youth provision has also been helpful source of Income. We would like to thank all our funders and our volunteers for thelr support over the year. In our forward budgeting we seek to maintaln a reserve of some 4 months revenue expenditure or £30,000 and It Is noted that we had net current assets of £28,392 at the year end.
