Chair’s Statement
Worry. Fear. Anxiety. Loneliness.
These are just some of the words our users chose to describe the pandemic. It has been a turbulent year with weeks or months of relative calm before the storm as second and third waves hit and Detla, bubbles, ventilator and masks became part of our vocabulary. For the vulnerable girls we support, this storm has shaken them in so many ways, often threatening their emotional survival as they found themselves drowning in worry, pain and sadness. Extended lockdown, increased tension, decline in parents’ mental health and family breakdown alongside bereavement has brought new heightened anxiety, social and emotional wellbeing challenges.
At Sunbeams, we have seen how a listening ear, dedicated support and guidance can help the most vulnerable girls emerge resilient. Our solution-focused mentoring service takes on a holistic approach, listening to the voice of children and young people and working with them, their parents, their school and any professionals involved so that they have the right people, tools and experiences to ride the waves.
Responding to identified need, we increased our caseload by 30%, provided more intense support, piloted new wellbeing initiatives with local girls’ schools and rented and refurbished new larger premises.
We are seeing recovery amidst the chaos and are extremely grateful to our volunteers and funders for investing in Sunbeams and joining us in our mission during the most challenging and uncertain of times.

“In what has been an incredibly difficult year for so many, Sunbeams and it’s astonishing managers have continued to passionately strive to improve the emotional well-being of girls within their community. They have not only continued to offer mentoring support to so many vulnerable young people (whenever it was possible to do so) but also worked ceaselessly to improve and develop the services they offer more broadly. It has as always been a pleasure to work alongside them. Dr Lisa Shostak Clinical Psychologist

Mali’s story
Last year, Mum would have described Mali* as a fun-loving, bubbly, 11-year old. She could not say the same when she met our Volunteer Coordinator for an interview at referral stage this year.
Mali had lost her charm, along with her appetite and quite a bit of weight. Mum was clearly worried. She said it started with the death of an uncle followed by a young neighbour who both succumbed to Covid-19.
Mali was terrified about losing her family members and her anxiety grew and grew until she described it as “a horrible monster” that was chasing her all day. She was having a hard time concentrating at school, could not engage with her peers and just the word “grave” would send her sweating and panting to her bed where she would remain for hours.
Her siblings were obviously very affected by the tension this created, felt sorry for Mali and Mum but at the same time were fed-up of “walking on eggshells” and
“everything working around Mali”. The Volunteer Coordinator realised that this was beyond the scope of mentoring and that Mali needed assessment and treatment through CAMHS as soon as possible. Though Mum was very hesitant (there was a cultural and language barrier), the Volunteer Coordinator encouraged and guided her with the First Steps referral process, helping her complete the forms and prepare for the initial telephone consultation. She sensitively explained that we would love to help Mali and provide her with a 1:1 mentor but it would not actually be helpful to deprive her of the clinical and professional input she really needed and at the moment, it was more important that she builds a trusting relationship with a competent clinician than with a volunteer mentor. We did however offer Mali a place in our group mentoring sessions which she gladly accepted and 2 of her siblings were matched with mentors so they could get their own space to thrive.
Our Consultant Clinical Psychologist also spoke to Mum to give her some immediate guidance (and encouragement!) as well as recommendations of books for parents of young people with anxiety. Mum ordered them the very next day and said “[she] could not stop reading, with every page [she] learnt more and gained new tools to help Mali”.
Two weeks later, Mum shared that the scheduled telephone consultation with First Steps never happened and she asked for help with chasing it. The Volunteer Coordinator used our established partnership with CAMHS to chase the referral, arrange an appointment for the next week and ensured it was with a clinician who had experience and cultural understanding of the community.
It is now 3 months later and Mali and her parents have received excellent professional guidance and support from the team at First Steps. She joined the group sessions and after only 4 weeks, she shared that “the only place I don’t have thoughts is in group sessions. I am so calm and relaxed there”. Mum says that “[she] would have never gone to CAMHS if not for Sunbeams and [she] cannot believe how much Mali has improved in the past 3 months, especially her excitement to attend group sessions each week and socialize like she has not done in a year!”

1:1 Mentoring
Sunbeams was born when young people along with two secondary school teachers in Hackney’s OJ community saw too many girls presenting multiple, complex issues like anxiety, eating disorders or disengagement with school.
They realized that many of these girls had in younger years faced smaller, more manageable problems such as learning difficulties, bereavement and low self-esteem which were not addressed. These then spiraled out of control, morphing into complex emotional and mental health challenges, anti-social behavior and academic failure.
Together with young community volunteers, some of whom had lived experience of these issues, they launched an early-intervention mentoring service for girls age 5-12, aiming to tackle problems upstream, when they were relatively new and manageable.
Eight years down the line, and over 26,000 mentoring sessions later, Sunbeams is a community-trusted, accredited mentoring service supporting over 150 girls age 7-16 each year.
We work with young people at the stage before they require intensive specialist support for their issues, or sometimes alongside specialist services. Young people on the service struggle with problems such as social isolation, anxiety, incipient eating disorders, truancy or majorly strained relationships.
We enjoy strong partnerships with 11 local girls’ schools, (which means over 6,000 pupils!), welfare organizations and statutory services such as First Steps and CAMHS.
Key components of the service include:
-
Weekly 60-minute 1:1 mentoring session with a trained volunteer mentor.
-
Therapeutic activities such as baking, music, art and hairstyling create a safe space for children to relax, improve in confidence whilst gaining practical support for coping and improving their wellbeing.
-
Quarterly trips and excursions to museums, parks, and restaurants mostly scheduled around extra-stressful situations such as parent’s admission to hospital or upcoming SATS exams.
-
Mentees are highly involved in shaping the service - choosing the sort of activity, day and timing of sessions, planning trips and providing ongoing feedback on the mentoring relationship.
-
Ongoing supervision of mentors by clinical child psychologist to monitor performance, identify concerns and plan sessions.
-
Working in partnership with parents, schools, statutory services such as CAMHS and local welfare organisations to ensure that progress is carried over across the board and to onward-refer any issues requiring intervention.

GROUP MENTORING ARTogether
Children and young people on our service show drastic improvements in their confidence, core identity and educational attainment.
Many however, struggle to apply the skills they learnt in sessions to real-life situations and need a socially supportive group experience to boost their emotional resilience and help them transition to acceptable social integration.
ARTogether provides a supportive environment for young women to speak out, share their experiences and get help while building social skills, emotional resilience and healthy relationships. In group sessions, users feel empowered to express and make sense of feelings, learn that others have similar experiences/reactions whilst developing strategies to manage difficult emotions (e.g. anxiety, distress).
Key components of the service include:
-
Arts-based group sessions: arts and crafts, music, drama and performing arts
-
Cohorts are put together based on participants’ differences, commonalities, goals, social and communication levels and ages
-
The 5 part programme delivered over 45 weeks covers the following: self-awareness, communication skills, finding strength in shared experiences, emotional wellbeing, practical social tips and strategies, building resilience
Young people learn how to effectively engage with one another and work as a team – often for the first time – developing vital social and communication skills. Users – some socially excluded on joining – form lasting friendships and the ability to make new friends in future.

Mental Health and Wellbeing at School
Over the years, Sunbeams recognised that many local schools were struggling significantly to manage their mental health and wellbeing provision.
After comprehensive consultation with school leads, parents and pupils it was clear that more support was needed to create an environment which builds student wellbeing into the heart of school life. School leads asked for professional development training, help with policy implementation and networking for shared learning.
With the help of The Interlink Foundation, Sunbeams has co-delivered the WAMHS initiative, coordinating and supporting a pilot in 6 OJ schools and we hope to roll this out to more school departments in 2022.
The Wellbeing and Mental Health in Schools (WAMHS) service aims to improve mental health and wellbeing support for children and young people in schools, colleges, specialist and alternative provision education settings in City & Hackney.
The service focusses on building academic, social and emotional resilience and coping skills in students and helping them to identify and access additional support if needed.
Participating schools have developed and implemented focused action plans which include incredible projects like parent and student literature on mental health, staff trainings on garden duty, a bullying campaign, awareness and support in the weeks leading to SATs exams and many other initiatives to support and improve the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people.
Alongside this, Sunbeams coordinated a Mental Health Forum for headteachers and senior staff across 11 girls’ school. The forum provided a fabulous opportunity for staff to meet, discuss concerns more widely and share good practice and learning.
We also arranged regular professional development trainings like “Common Mental Health issues explained” and “What good looks like in school-based emotional wellbeing support” with excellent uptake and feedback on improved knowledge, skills and confidence around supporting the mental health and wellbeing of students.
Working in partnership with the City and Hackney CAMHS Alliance

Volunteer training and supervision
At Sunbeams, we see the tremendous value of our volunteers - girls and young women age 18- 25 who give selflessly each week to support vulnerable girls in the community.
In fact, volunteering is the heart of what we do and that is why we take it so seriously. All Sunbeams volunteers receive high level training and supervision so they benefit from enhanced knowledge, skills and volunteering opportunities.
Besides for basic and mandatory trainings such as safeguarding, induction to Sunbeams etc, our volunteers enjoy in-depths trainings delivered by professionals. These include “Why and how mentoring makes a difference”, “building confidence and self-esteem of a vulnerable young person”, or “supporting my mentee’s mental health”.
Ongoing clinical and non-clinical supervision gives volunteers the opportunity to develop, reflect and improve on transferable life and work skills such as commitment, communication, compassion, work ethic, confidentiality and time management.
Last year, 100% of mentors reported improved work/life skills as a result of their volunteering experience and over 30 volunteers went on to pursue further education courses in related areas (childcare, psychology, counselling etc) as a result of their positive experience as a mentor.

Covid-19 Response
Covid-19 has shaken the world in ways we could never imagine.
Sickness, widespread bereavement, family breakdown and poverty have robbed many young girls of their happiness and stability. For those already facing adversity, it only exacerbated challenges and heightened their vulnerability because of the prolonged time spent at home, especially when it is not a healthy or even safe space. Now more than ever, these young people needed Sunbeams mentoring services and we are ever so grateful to our funders and volunteers for coming forth with strong support and commitment to helping young girls navigate the crisis. Though there may have been chaos and uncertainty as we didn’t know what the next weeks or months may bring, there was a definite sense and spirit of rising to the challenge and giving it all it takes to help young people ride the waves.
Some of the ways we helped young people weather the storm:
-
20-minute mentee-mentor telephone calls 2-3 times a week, to checkin, provide emotional support and identify safeguarding concerns and/or urgent needs during lockdown.
-
Bespoke activity packs (crafts selected by users) and care packages (toiletries/small treats) containing user-friendly literature on emotional wellbeing and warm messages from mentors sent to users during lockdowns. These packs provided consistent support, enabled users to continue with therapeutic activities they had been doing at 121 and/or group mentoring sessions and get support with specific issues particularly bereavement.
-
A holistic short interventions project addressing the issues posed by unsupervised self-isolation of vulnerable girls. This included teacher training, parent liaison, frequent mentor contacts over 2 weeks, clinical supervision, printed resources and activities pack to help safeguard 15 at risk users per week over 18 weeks.
-
Remote support and training for mentors and staff including “looking after yourself so you can help look after others”, “safeguarding when mentoring remotely” and “what is anxiety and what would you consider a normal Covid-19 response?”
-
Risk assessments, referrals and emergency plans for high-risk mentees and reengagement with inactive, experienced volunteers to support new, high-priority referrals.
Additional phone support for mentees, mentors, parents and carers, including how to answer children’s questions about death or critical illness, supporting children with anxiety.
-
Intensive partnership working and involvement in new, local emergency forums to support new referrals, emergency support for mentees at risk (eg suicidal thoughts, abuse), referrals and signposting (eg, shielding families, bereavement support for adults) and regular information, updates and resource-sharing on culturally-specific support e.g. childfriendly bereavement materials.
-
Training and support to school staff to help them support pupils with reintegration post lockdown.

New Premises
The pandemic highlighted the need for Sunbeams to secure its own larger premises and replace our previous model of sessions taking place in free/rented spaces in multi-use venues such as community centers and youth clubs.
These spaces were closed to all but essential services and also not deemed adequate by users in terms of Covidsafety. With generous funding from Delapage and The Clothworkers Foundation, we were able to fully refurbish Sunbeams new premises and create an exciting and welcoming place for girls to thrive. Our dedicated centre hosts 4 mentoring rooms with a kitchen for baking/food preparation and a larger room for group sessions and volunteer/staff training with enough space for sessions to safely take place within social distancing measures.
Having our own premises allows us to better manage resources, volunteers, and activities to deliver a more effective, user-focused service.

Improved emotional health and wellbeing
Our mentoring programs give girls a safe space to relax, have fun and do stuff they enjoy.
Through mentors’ guidance and roleplaying, mentees learn to recognize and express their feelings, develop strategies to cope with stress and manage emotional reactions and access further professional support (eg, Early Help) as needed.

Improved educational attainment
Mentees are encouraged to pursue their personal interests, develop new and hone existing skills (particularly communication and creative skills) and achieve self-set goals, motivating them and improving their ability to engage with and achieve at school. By sharing their feelings with a trusted mentor and addressing issues (often for the first time!) they feel more at ease and are able to focus better and achieve more at school.
Improved confidence and relationships
Strong, positive and affirming relationships with mentors increase happiness and give girls the taste of a secure, stable relationship.
By completing a 1000 piece puzzle or learning to play the guitar vulnerable girls get that positive feeling that they can excel. They learn to recognise and celebrate their achievements and feel more confident about their capabilities and their future.
Our awareness-raising trainings provides school staff with improved understanding of children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing and how they can support students, especially those facing bereavement and anxiety during Covid-19.

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
