Trustee's Annual rePort

The Eighth Year of Rise:61

www.rise61.org

2021/22 was a significant year for us here at Rise:61 as we secured some important multi-year funding which will allow us to grow the staff team and increase contact time with young people, greatly increasing our capacity and impact. We also ran more trips thanks to a new van, increased our alternative education provision and hosted our first big community Easter Party. Here's our evaluation based on how well we fulfilled our charitable objectives.

CHARITABLE objectS EVALUATION

Objective 1. To advance the Christian faith.

In all our work, our staff and volunteers seek to represent the values of love, faith and hope that Jesus modelled. Delivery staff live and work on the estate acting as an authentic Christian witness that knows the communities strengths and challenges from the inside out. We love people where they are at first and foremost, honouring the fact that people have other beliefs or none at all, whilst creating the space for those interested to explore it further. This year we've done this through having our first Easter Party open to all the community. We gathered over 100 local people on Sat 26th March for a free BBQ, Easter egg hunts and entertainment from Circus Wessex. Our Director also spoke at the event, sharing the Easter story and how Jesus is the inspiration behind all what we do. The community had been rocked by some recent suicides which we addressed and we were thanked afterwards for confronting this issue that sadly has affected so many on the estate. We also had a great year running Life Group, our free after school project for Yrs 5-9, where we eat together, play games and talk about our faith and the Christian story. We engaged around 10-18 young people each week throughout term time. We want to build on this by taking some young people away on a residential, giving them fun new experiences and more space to explore faith. We also want to develop more links with local churches to help make them more accessible to the young people and their families that are keen to attend.

Objective 2a. To advance in life young people through the provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life.

All of our work dovetails together to achieve objectives 2a and b. Living in the community for over 10 years means that staff have developed strong networks of relationships with young people and their families. This is built upon through our regular detached work where we take the time to get to know young people on the streets, in their spaces. It is from this place that we then run our Bike, Creative and Active after school clubs in the community for young people aged 11-18 years, who attend due to the social capital we have built up. All of this is provided in the interest of social welfare as they are free and accessible to all within the Bemerton ward (in the top 20% of most deprived wards in England) which has the highest child poverty rate across all of Swindon and Wiltshire of over 40% (Wiltshire Community Foundation, 2021).

2021/22 was significant as we started our Active Hub which has been designed to help young people with their mental and physical health and build on their expressed interest in fitness sessions. It's led by Ben Crouch a qualified youth worker and personal trainer and provides a free weekly after school club where they receive guided strength and conditioning sessions and a healthy snack. A BBC Sounds report highlights some of the impact this had on the 10 young people that attended throughout the year https://www.rise61.org/what-we-do/active-hub/. “Just spoken to mum who said he was over the moon after his gym session which is so nice as he does nothing else.” - School Teacher

By continuing to partner with Salisbury City Council, the Residents Association, Wilts Council and District Sport we were also able to assist in the delivery of two more free after school clubs in the community - a weekly football group and a youth group. Another new way we provided leisure and recreational opportunities this year was through our purchase of a 9 seater van after securing a grant of £47,674 from the Youth Investment fund. This allowed us to take our young people on a variety of trips off the estate including to Wales for a 5k fun run, Monkey World in Dorset and Bournemouth beach. We ran 10 trips, with an average of 7 young people per trip and received lots of positive feedback. " It's been the best day in a while!! We are all tired!! But it was the best!!" Throughout the year we worked with on average between 50-70 young people each week, providing a wide range of activities that are based on the things they themselves have asked for and often wouldn't be able to afford.

Objective 2b. To advance in life young people through providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.

We achieved this objectives through four main ways. Firstly, we further developed our Alternative Education Provision for young people struggling in mainstream education by providing sessions at our Active Hub, alongside the Bike Hub and Community Garden. We also became a registered centre for providing AQA short unit awards, so that young people attending these sessions from local schools and pupil referral units can gain a greater sense of achievement and external recognition of what they are achieving. We provided 223 Alternative Provision sessions this year to 21 young people, 27 AQA awards were achieved by 12 young people. Secondly, we invested in our Young Leaders group during the year with regular meetings where they help shape the development of our work. As part of this we took two of them to Bristol to help us develop plans for a youth hub on the estate. Here's what one of them had to say: “My group has helped me open up about who I am… I learned more… on how to lead and how to help others.”

Thirdly, we have grown our mentoring provision this year, providing 1:1 support to a handful of young people that need further support and investment for them to thrive. "You have been the best mentor that I could've ever asked for, and I'm so grateful for our meet ups." This is an area of increasing need that we don't have capacity to meet and we want to grow this in the year ahead. Finally, we continue to invest in improving community facilities and supporting young people to be at the forefront of this, helping them to see what is possible when they join together as a community to tackle local issues and improve the look and feel of the estate themselves. As well as developing our community garden throughout the year, we gathered young people together for our first annual 'social action week' where they refreshed our bike hub facility by painting a new mural on the side and carried out a number of maintenance jobs. The bike hub is an important project for the community that provides affordable bikes.

achievements and performance

2021/22 was another good year for the charity as we continued to grow and increase our capacity to have a positive impact on young people and the community. Key to this was securing a 5 year grant from the National Lottery Community Fund for our Youth Hub projects of £323,678. This is by far and away the largest grant we've ever secured and will have a transformational effect on our work in the years to come. With this funding we were able to recruit 3 new part time staff members: 1 new operational staff and 2 more youth workers who start in Sept 2022. This means we will be able to develop our operational capacity and improve systems relating to our main areas of risk like safeguarding and finances as well as making sure all our services never have to stop if we don't have enough volunteers. This is really important for consistency and also reduces the pressure on our volunteers many of whom are from the local community, which hopefully means we'll be able to attract even more.

STATEMENT OF PUBLIC BENEFIT

Due to our provision of 6 free after school clubs that are accessible to all local young people as well as our free trips, mentoring, detached work, young leaders group, community events and alternative provision we believe that in 2021/22 we were of public benefit and were faithful to our charitable objectives. All our work has been informed by the wishes of the young people we serve in the community, based on what we hear in our structed sessions, detached work and from the results of our extensive survey last year. The trustees, in making decisions about our activities have always had due regard to the commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.

GOVERNANCE

We had a few trustee changes this year with either trustees stepping down after many years of service, moving away from the community or wanting to help in a more practical way. We appointed a new Chairman, Andy Malcolm in June who is focusing on further improving our governance given our recent growth and recruiting new trustees to further compliment the range of skills and experience we have. We continue to take the governance of our charity very seriously and trustees completed further safeguarding training this year as part of this. We are pleased with our fundraising performance due to our success with grants, and complimented this with nearly doubling our income from Alternative Provision referrals. We continue to seek to increase our income from regular donors and fundraising to strengthen our income split.

INCOME & EXPENDITURE

We carried forward £83,161 this year, £58,839 of which is restricted funding to be used in the year ahead. Our main costs continues to be our staff who work with young people and run Rise:61.

We are so grateful for everyone who has partnered with us this year, giving their time, money, skills and experience. All of this is only achievable by working together.

In 2022, we asked young people how Rise:61 impacted them. They reported that it had helped in a number of ways, as shown on the table on the right.

The impact can also been seen through young people like Lewis who we've been working with since 2016 through the Doorsteps Sports Club and more recently the Active Hub. Lewis has always expressed how important the club is to him and how much he values not only the chance to do positive activities with his peers but also to chat to our youth workers about what’s going on in his life.

Lewis has always struggled with his mental health after the traumatic loss of a family member he was very close to, and in the last 6 months hasn't been in education, employment or training and his mental health has deteriorated so our clubs have been the only things he’s been involved with.

Lewis has often taken on a leadership role during the clubs and helped in a variety of ways which we recognised when we made him one of our first young leaders. We have also funded him to do a Level 1 Sports Coaching Award to help him pursue a career in sport. We continue to support Lewis where we can alongside statutory agencies.

“Sometimes I have no where to go or no one to talk to but Rise 61 has changed my life! I wouldn’t be here today without them. There needs to be more people like these they’ve saved my life!” Lewis

The future...

In 2022/23 we are hoping to continue to grow our capacity to help young people on Bemerton Heath tell a different story with their lives.

We have plans to increase our mentoring provision in line with the growing need we are seeing, increase the frequency of free after school clubs and increase our provision during school holidays. Alongside this we are seeking to grow our level of reserves in line with our growth, further strengthening our trustee team and improving our impact measurement so we can continue to learn as a charity and improve the support we give young people.
