## **Foreword** 

I have worked for Youth Dream (Selsey) Ltd, for 8 ½  years, as the Manager of The Bridge Youth Support Centre and I am proud in that time, to have grown the staff from two to twelve. This is the 6[th] Annual Report that I have written and in the past, I have let the case studies speak for themselves as a testimony to the work that the team does. But this year, I want to give special thanks to all involved in the last year…. 

Thank you to **Danielle** , who not only stepped up whilst I was off sick for seven weeks in 2024 but also for your exceptional organisational skills and can-do attitude…. She is probably the only person I know who constantly adds to and achieves a “To-Do-List”. 

To **Lily** and **Paul** , who together work quietly and diligently with some of our hardest clients and their stories, in difficult circumstances, against the back drop of adjustment and change last year, when Lily came back from maternity leave. You made it seamless, thank you. 

To **Tegan** , our longest employee, who’s contribution can often go un-noticed… we know what you did for our two toughest cases ever last year… and for the clubs that you underpin for the youth of Selsey and Wittering, we notice and thank you. 

To **Ella** , who never says no and adapts to all that is thrown at her, from collecting young people from home to bring to school to creating a relationship with the last primary school on the Peninsula that we needed to reach. Thank you. 

To **Millie** , who may only have joined us last year but has done so much for so many. Our aim is to get young people back into education - she achieved that with five this year. Our aim is to ensure that young people sit their exams – she achieved that with four this year. And where the aim is to support young people excluded from school – she achieved that with fourteen this year. Plus two into employment and an apprenticeship. And that does not include the children in crisis, who once calm enough to do some school work, she ends up with! Thank you. 

To **Mark** , who’s outreach artwork gives joy to so many as well as constructively dealing with some serious issues through drawing, colouring, painting and talking…. The individual stories could all be case studies in themselves… Thank you. 

To **Ellie** , who underpins all we do with number crunching, filing, minutes, programmes for LINK and appointment making. You do it all with a smile and laughter and young people we work with, always choose you as their favourite! Thank you. 

To **Jackie** and **Dee** , who’s work can also go un-noticed. Your work maybe un-quantifiable but it is qualifiable. We know that you make a difference to young people with your dedicated support and advice. Dee enjoy your retirement and thank you both. 

To **Zoe** , who cleans up our mess at the end of the week, thank you. 

To **Robbie** , who has left us now but contributed to the last year. Thank you and we wish you well in your new career. 

To **Leslie** and **Chris** , **Volunteer Mentors** , thank you. 

To **Paul Sadler, Selsey Community Forum** … what you and the volunteers have done with the garden over the years is phenomenal. Thank you for giving us such a beautiful place to work, somewhere to escape and cry when we need to and for helping us with the young people who work better with their hands. Thank you. 

To **Jo Ford, Matt Tymon** , and especially **Dean Searley** , **The Academy Selsey** , for all that we achieve together for young people at your school and the local community. There are too many examples to name, but we thank you. We also thank **Jo Campbell-Baker, Yvonne Green, Millie James, Pippa Hook, Kerry Hook, Jenny Sapsied and Francis Carver.** And also, **the catering staff** – we notice, thank you. 

3 



To **Selsey Lions** and **Colin Rickman** , who helped us achieve two beds for young people in the last year (one on a settee and one on a mattress on the floor) and sponsored the 2025 Summer Holiday Programme. Two children sleep better at night now. Thank you. 

To **Dr Nicholas Taylor, Abigail Taylor, Naomi Lewry** and **Mel Childs, Chichester High School** , thank you for embracing all that Youth Dream can offer your school and pupils from Creative Minds and Lunchtime Lifts to your individual pupils whom we have worked with over the years. It is a good partnership, thank you. 

To **Chichester Free School, Mrs Halton** and **Mrs New** , again we thank you for the partnership and for the work we do with your young people. 

To **Seal Primary, Mrs Lovejoy, Martin Shaw** and **Leanne Brighten,** from the individual children to the playground, from youth club to transition, thank you for supporting us with your pupils. 

To **Medmerry Primary, Christian Haynes, Katy Murphy** and **Anna Moyle** , thank you for working with us on the walking bus to The Academy for Sewing and Craft Club, the collection and return of individuals for counselling and the partnership we have created. 

To **East Wittering Primary, Justin Brookes** who’s school and young people we have been working with for five years now, thank you for the partnership. 

To **West Wittering Primary, Mrs Chamberlin and Nicholas Matthews,** whom have worked with for five years again, thank you. 

To **Birdham Primary** and **Mark McCadden** , thank you for our newest partnership as we assist your young people through transition to secondary school and for working with us on a resilience programme within your school. 

To **Sidlesham Primary, Mrs Koiston** , we look forward to continue our work with you and your pupils, next academic year in our relatively new partnership. Thank you. 

Also, to **Bourne Community College** and **Littlehampton APC** , for trusting us with your young people. 

To **Selsey Football Club** and especially **Nic** and **Downview Hall** , especially **Jacqui** , we thank you. 

To all our **funders** , THANK YOU. 

To the **Youth Dream Trustees** , thank you for your contribution, support and help. 

And to **Mike Nicholls** , THANK YOU. 

There is always a risk when thanking individuals, that you can miss someone out. If I have, I am sorry but know that we thank you. We thank all the **individuals** and **businesses** who donated games, equipment and items for the young people we work with. To the **agencies** and **organisations** that have helped and supported our work and our young people, thank you. 

And last but not least, to our **young people** , who work hard with us to solve their problems and issues, work hard in lessons and in educational support, and who place their trust in us. 

It has been a tough year again but **TEAM** , we did it! **Thank you all** .

## **INTRODUCTION**

The land is split into three operations: 

1. The Hidden Garden – It has been cultivated into an allotment and flower garden with walkways and is open to visitors and volunteers Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. It is a part of many “Open Garden” schemes and enters competitions. 

2. Men in Sheds – separate organisation, sub-leasing The Shed 

3. The Bridge Youth Support Centre - has an office, two counselling rooms, education room, lounge area for activities and meetings, a kitchen and a toilet.

Child BB was referred for bereavement support. Child BB lost a
sibling and found it hard at the start to speak about her feelings
as her parents where still very grief stricken.
Over time BB knew that this was safe space to rant, cry and off
load her grief. BB said that she looked forward to the sessions
weekly and within 12 weeks she learnt that it was ok to share the
feelings with her parents also.
Alongside working with her grief, Child BB has leamt coping
strategies for the sad days and the importance of keeping her
sibling's memory as a positive and finding joy in the memories.
She is an amazing artist and used her sibling as the muse for
final art exam portrdit - 'Now I have a piece of him to look at and
also be proud of my wor￿.
School had noticed that she was dealing with the bad days much
better and that also on the bad days she was more confident to
say it was a bad day and when needed, she could ask for "time
out".

Child AY had a very close relationship to his twin brother but always felt inferior compared
to him. He also had conflirting feelings towards his father. He felt others compared him to his
brother.
Mentoring coTKentr3ted on AY as an individual, without judgement or comparison. AY
used his sessions to Èxplore who he was and to help find his place in his world. He was a
mature young man, who was able to self-reflect and self-analyse. At the end of the sesgons,
he felt that he liked himself again and was more secure in himself.
He and his brothers chose different colleges and different courses, allowing AY to become
his own person, although that brought about new issues of doing things alone, without his
brother. AY grew in confidence and worked hard to secure his GCSE'S. He left in Year 11, a
stronger, resilient, caring, kind young man and is wished all the very best in the future.

things happen. And I

When nyy friend
was feeling sad . I
was able to share
the ways I make
myself feel betterf,
Child BA was referred by his family link worker for support & monitorin8 in
December 2023. When he was in year 5, he had been struggling with health
anxiety {for a long-term medical condition), the bereavement of his dog
followed by parental split up.
This was then manifesting into angry outbursts and anxious periods leading
to missing school.
The sessions started with breaking down what his bi8gest worries & fears
were and ranking them into scale ranking. We then worked on each one &
he was able to verbalise his fears.
We worked on teaching him to 'control the controllable'_ Not to be holding
responsibility for other people's behaviours or feelings.
Some of the sessions would focus on buildin8 his confidence and his self-
belief, switching to a more positive mindset.
This was long term work with BA and in the people's it was witnessed that
he become more mature and 8rowin8 in confidence week on week.
Feedback from school- 'BA is showing big changes in how he deals with his
feelin8s, how he reacts to other people's behaviours and what he can do
with his choices."

Mentoring
December 2024
A young girl from Sidlesham Primary School on the West of the Manhood
Peninsula, was referred due to separation anxiety affecting her school Life
and bedtime routine. Our Senior Youth Worker began reguLar mentoring
sessions with her, focusing on addressing these challenges.
Over the course of seven weeks, Youth Dream offered regular mentoring
sessions to the young person. Through consistent support and guidance,
the young person deveLoped the abiLityto articuLate her concerns and
learned valuable coping strategies. As a resuLt, she can now attend
school without disruption to her learning, and bedtime has become a
manageable part of her routine. The young person continues to work
through these exercises with confidence and has been offered future
mentoring if needed.

We are writing to express our gratitude for the work you have been doing with the students here at Chichester High School. Your interventions have provided a much needed outlet for our students to express themselves in a manner beyond the conventional classroom and to open up to a trusted adult. 

As a result of the excellent relationships you have built with staff and students here at CHS we have noted that the students you support have reduced external and internal suspensions in addition to improved attendance. Your sessions provide a valuable opportunity for students to take some time out of the day and experience a sense of accomplishment with the artwork that they have been a part of completing. 

The artwork produced by our students provides them with a sense of ownership over their school, this builds a greater sense of belonging and has also reduced incidents of vandalism and graffiti. 

Your 'lunchtime lifts' generates a real buzz around social time and the work produced enables students to express themselves in ways that has also supported our pastoral team to identify and support early with emerging issues. 

It is always a pleasure to see you here at CHS and you will always be a welcome part of our team.

When she started, BF hated talking to teachers and adults, 01)e teacher in particular IEcause of
her 'sternnesg. After having worked on wall to wall murals l and 2, BF suddenly started helping
that very same teacherto set up and tidy up classrooms. She stopped disrupting lessons and said
that she had always liked helping teachers at Primary Schocl. She took up art as a study option
and was first in line when offered work experience with the Creative Outreach Youth Worker
within school.
As part of the work, BF and another student entered into a meeting with the head teachers, and
they led the meetin8. They knew that they had three objectives,. one, to make the client feel
good, two to get a date fortho perspex ￿reenS to be put up over mural 4 entrance corridor, and
three to get certificates.
They gave a presentation and asked for feedback on the project.
By the end of the meeting they had both been tdd that t￿Y W￿ld be getting "head teachers
speaal awards"
The last time, t￿se young
irls has been in the Heads office, they had been suspended. The girl's
stories are a testimony to tRe benefits of art, time and encouragement and it was great to see
the gids excel in this way.

The Boys. Group, initiaLly developed as part of the 2021-2024 Manhood
Peninsula Youth Provision Strategy, has proven to be a valuable and
successful initiative at Sidlesham Primary School in February 2025. The
programme explores a range of topics, from emotional tools to practicaL
advice on personal health and well-being.
Following an established structure, the group began by collaboratively
creating a set of ruLes and fostering a safe, nurturing, and supportive
environment where participants feel comfortable discussing sensitive topics
and sharing insights.
The February 2025 cohort saw eight primary-aged boys attend alLfive
scheduled sessions over one week. The programme was so well received that
the boys requested an additional session to further explore the topics
discussed, resulting in a six-session programme.
Feedback indicated that participants found the content and activities
accessible and enjoyable. They appreciated the opportunity to discuss
sensitive topics and engage in fun activities, describing the sessions as 'not
like being in school Notably, six out of eight boys highlighted personal
hygiene as a particularlyvaluable aspect of the programme.

In January 2024, a partnership beBan between Youth Dream and The Academy Selsey, whereby one
child, at high risk of exclusion was identified to be worked with intensively for a period of six weeks.
Youth Dream had a long history around the issues that schools were giving young people a part time-
table that sets them up to always be "on the back foot" an d catching up. For example, if a young pery)n
came in mornin8s only, for Periods 1, 2 and 3 and went home at lunch time, they missed Periods 4 and
5. If they had maths Pl one day , P5 the next and P3 the next. and the teacher said, "Yesterday, we did
this" the youn8 person was not there yesterday and so was instantly disadvanta8ed.
The LINK programme addressed this. Concentrating on Maths, English a nd Science, the young person
was supported in class on a 1-2-1 basis. Where appropriate. their favourite subject would also be added
to their bespoke timetable. At times when they are not doing escorted lessons, they return to The
Bridge where teachin8 and learnin8 is catered to their needs, with anything from keyboard skills,
ha ndwriting p ractice, times tables, tying laces. learning to tell the time. catching up work and
supple me nting lessons in school. With the latter, for example if they are doing MacBeth or Romeo and
J uliette in school, they watch the play or TV d ramatization to help understand the play better. In
dystopia and utopia work. an understa nding of The Maze Runne r movie helped to understa nd the text
book in school.
There is a lot of toing and froing from the school but sanctions are signif icantly reduced. The young
pe rson is understood at a personal level and if needed. helped an d 8iven copin8 strategies for issues in
school. For example, instead of screaming and shouting, they learn to communicate what is happening
for them an d wh at they are thinkin8 and feeling.
Hourly reports are written and given to the school, to help them adjust things to accommodate the
needs of the student A set up and clO￿[e meeting is held with the school, parentslcarers, young
pe rson and Youth Dream an d an agreement signed by all parties. Breaks and lunchtimes in school. to be
with friends, are earnt by good behaviour.

March to April
2024
Male, Year 8
You (ouldn't help but love this young man. Some of his issues were enmronmental but his biggest
issue in schod was that he did not have the vocabulary to explain exactly what he wasfeeling
and what histhoughts were.
After one explosive outburst, he broke down sobbit)g and crying uncontrollably. He was asked
"what are you actually feeling right now?" It became apparent that he simply could not name his
emotions - f rustration, gui It, sense of injustice, etc. He ofte n felt mis-understood and frustrated
in school which resulted in screaming matches, slamming doors and walking away. Base line
emotions were explored using emoji's and cdours and whenever it was seen he was getting
upset, he was asked to explain what was going on for him.
(￿er the six weeks, he leamt to express himself and say what was wrong. Instead of becoming
defensive or arguing back, he was encouraged to think, plan his words and state what was unfair
and why, what he thought and felt and what his issues wore.
With 1-2-1 support in class, he caught up and stayed on course with his work, reduang his
frustrations and bei ng behi nd all the time. His positive points grew and he took pleasure in
getting good matks and positive house points. His demeanourcalmed, as he understood that it
took a lot of energy to be angry, and he used his words more and more.
He Imks adults in the eye now and uses his words better. He isn't perfect in school but will use
the "Re-set Room" to re-set and regulate his emotions so that he can carry on with the day.
Practical work suits him best and one day he will train in a trade.
Outside of his outbursts, he is a polite, caring young man who puts his family first and idolises his
Mum. His terrific sense of humour also shone through and he was a pleasure to work with. His
gx-week report, helped his teachers understand that he needs to be given tIE time to think
about, work out and explain his feelings and emotions. He is wished well.

May to June 2024
Male. Year 8
This LINK child was identified for permanent exclusion. He was disruptive in class, often walked
out and wandered around the sdiool and often answered back to teachers. His list of sanctions
was never-ending. But all that said, there was something very likeable about the young man and
everyone wanted to give him a chance to succeed.
It s(K)n became known that he was a txilite young man, with g(K>d manners. He was well liked by
his peers and had a good friendship base. It also became very quickly apparent that his thinking
and ability in classwas chaotic. Any writing in his books, was not in orderone page afterthe
other, one lesson after the other- rather it was wherever the bjok had fallen open atthat
particular time.
Sitting with him 1-2-1 in lessons, it soon became obvious that after 20 minutes he was fidgety,
unfocussed and needed to be on the move. He could be kept on track with a lot of effort if he
liked the subject matter but he struggled with anything written or any time where it was working
quietly on hi s own. He was better in practical lessons, like saence but even in scie nce practical
lessons are few.
Once his cOn￿ntratIon was lost, so was he. It wasn't that he wasn'ttrying... it wasthat his
cognitive thinking was jumbled. Youth Dream staff are not Doctors nor qualified to diagnose
disorders but it was obvious that this young person had ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and / or
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive tisorder) and / or another Nero diversitv.
The l¥Jurly reportsthat were recorded over the six weeks, contributed to an EHCP (Education
Health Care Plan) as they evidenced hour by hour his behaviour and this youn8 man is now
understood so much better in school. As a result of the success of the programme, the school has
taken unprecedented steps and the young person continues the LINK programmed tim&table,
going home instead of to The Bridge. He is trusted to continue to come in and out of school and
has not broken this trust.

In February 2025, it became apparent f rom ou r work with young people, that there was increasin8
ownership and usa8e of cats pults against local wildlife. A partnership was created betsveen Manhood
Wildlife and Heritage Group, Brent Lodge Wild life Hospital, Sussex Police, Chichester District Council,
The Academy Selsey and Chichester Free School.
Brent Lodge presented assemblies in The Academy Selsey for years 7. 8 and g and other schools were
encouraged to take up the offer. They also came to Selsey Youth Club and Witterings Youth Club, where
youn8 people brou8ht in donations for the re￿Ued animals. The Academy also 8ave donations to the
Rescue Centre.
Posters were created and kindly printed by Chichester District Council and erected around the Peninsula
ready for Easter. Community social media sites got involved an d reporting to Sussex Police by the public,
increased enabling them to act against identif led you ng offende r& A new poster was also created for
the summer holidays 2025.
Due to this pa rtnership this actiwty appears to have reduced significantly. Although it is hard to quantify
the reduction. reports of sitin8s of youth s with catapults has si8nifica ndy reduced.
This practice was not isolated to the pen insula, as reports came in f rom Chicheste r and Chichester Canal

campaigns to end the sale o* catapults to youths.

## **Statement of Directors' Responsibilities** 

The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. 

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

## **Small Company Rules** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. 

On behalf of the board

On the Balance Sheet you have acknowledged your duties under the prevailing Companies Acts to ensure that the company keeps adequate accounting records and prepares financial statements that give “a true and fair view”. 

You have determined that the company is exempt from the statutory requirement for an audit for this accounting year. Therefore, the financial statements are unaudited. 

The financial statements are provided exclusively to the directors for the limited purpose mentioned above, and may not be used or relied upon for any other purpose or by any other person, and we shall not be liable for any other usage or reliance.
