~~Thrivin , g not just surviving~~
Targeted and holistic early support to ~~ensure girls can thrive despite adversity.~~
~~Annual Report and Accounts~~ - 2022 2023
' ~~Chair s Statement~~
Since 2013, Sunbeams has been a trailblazer in the community, transforming attitudes and the quality of early support for the social and emotional wellbeing of girls and young women. With a rapidly growing young population and a sharp rise in mental health issues amongst children and young people, the demand for our services has been at an all-time high. Behind the numbers on our wait lists are stories of girls whose conditions will deteriorate if we don’t step up and bridge the gap in low level community intervention. This past year, we built on our experience and resilience to extend our help with a significant increase of users, especially in our 1:1 mentoring, the new keyworker service and parent engagement programme.
The vulnerable girls, young women and families we serve are still living with the impact of the pandemic while the costof-living crisis is posing new challenges for them, partnering schools and for our charity, staff and volunteers. Yet as we have seen in the past 3 years, the new challenges make us come together to find solutions and so we are seeing new
opportunities for partnerships and expansion with new projects to respond to emerging needs.
Our services have impacted individuals, families and the entire community, with better understanding of youth mental health issues, improved skills and confidence in promoting good mental health, and an increase in the uptake of wellbeing services as those issues are being destigmatised. We have seen how early support goes a long way in ensuring that those facing adversity, however harsh, are equipped with the skills, tools and resilience to cope and thrive.
We remain passionate about providing targeted, holistic and early support and are extremely grateful to our staff, volunteers and funders who support us in our mission. Together, we can help girls thrive, not just survive.

~~Case study~~
Esther had a difficult childhood. She was the oldest of four, and her mother suffered from serious postpartum depression after the last birth.
The year before she was referred to us, Mom was hospitalised for an extended period of time and Esther was sent to stay by her grandparents. No-one explained much to Esther because they thought at 9 years old, she was so little and ‘what would she understand?
Her parents and teachers described her extreme behaviours at the referral meetings. At home she was defiant and unpredictable: she bullied her younger brother and would break things. At school, she behaved very strangely: she wouldn’t speak, but would speak to herself and would pull other girl’s clothes. She was also very anxious, especially about her looks, and would spend hours in front of the mirror, sometimes coming late to school because of it.
Esther started one-on-one mentoring in April 2022 and showed consistent improvement. She clearly was enjoying the safe space and weekly opportunity to relax, unwind and engage in therapeutic activities such as baking, art, and hairstyling. Esther surprised us and treated her mentor with respect and behaved responsibly during sessions, despite being clearly anxious and uptight.
Her mentor helped her express and make sense of her feelings and together they explored and developed various coping strategies. Esther unleashed latent talent in the kitchen where she baked and decorated beautiful muffins and cookies which she then presented to family and friends for birthdays and well wishes. She told her mentor -“I feel so good when I give them my fancy stuff. Everyone is
amazed that I did these”.
After 4 months, her mentor shared that she saw real change: “Esther is calm and happy. She is much less anxious and more open - she voices more what she wants and is less rigid with choice of activity.”
As she was socially isolated at school, we also gave Esther a space in our most popular farm-based group mentoring sessions. After several weeks, her mother reported that Esther “loved every session and came home beaming each week.” The group leader also reported that she “saw a different Esther the last session. She was more relaxed, more fun, and joked with the others…” She added that the change was so stark she “could not believe it.”
In December 2022, her school reported that recently there had been a significant change in Esther: “She is talking in school, picking up her hand in class and talking to friends. She cooperates more. She seems to have somewhat tuned into life again.”
At an informal check-in with the Volunteer Coordinator, Esther shared that she told her Mom that she does not know why she pays for therapy (she saw a therapist whilst she was staying at her grandparents in 2021) and not for Sunbeams - Sunbeams helps much more!
At the end of the mentoring, Esther’s mother shared that “sessions have transformed my daughter. She is calmer and happier and a new Esther.” In her end-point questionnaire, Esther wrote “Sunbeams is the best thing that happened to me” and ticked that since starting Sunbeams, she is “happier”, “more confident” and has “better relationships”.
~~1:1 Mentoring and Parent Engagment~~
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 spiralled out of control, morphing into complex emotional and mental health challenges, anti-social behaviour 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.
Ten years down the line, and over 39,000 mentoring sessions later, Sunbeams is a community-trusted, accredited mentoring service supporting close to 200 girls age 8-16 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 low self-esteem, social isolation, anxiety, low mood, incipient eating disorders, truancy or majorly strained relationships.
Ke com onents of the y p serv ~~i~~ ce ~~i~~ nclude:
• 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 skills to improve their social and emotional wellbeing.
-
• Trips to museums, parks and restaurants to celebrate mentee's milestones.
-
• 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 Volunteer Coordinator and consultant clinical child psychologist to monitor performance and identify and address concerns.
-
• 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.
We enjoy strong partnerships with 22 local girls’ schools, (representing over 6,000 pupils), local welfare organizations and statutory services such as First Steps and CAMHS for inward and onward referrals.
Key components o ~~f~~ the ~~service include:~~
~~Group Mentoring~~
-
ArTogether: art-based group session including arts and crafts, music and drama.
-
Space to Thrive: farm-based group mentoring sessions.
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 are often isolated due to their personal or family crises. They need a socially supportive group experience to boost their emotional resilience and help them integrate socially.
Our group mentoring sessions provide a supportive environment for girls 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 that others have similar experiences and reactions whilst developing strategies to manage difficult emotions (e.g. anger, distress) in a socially acceptable manner. 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 – socially excluded on joining – form lasting friendships and the ability to make new friends in future.
Sessions are led by skilled and trained young women who are experts in their field such as art, drama and music. Most importantly, our group facilitators have a strong passion and natural flare for supporting socially isolated girls to connect with one another and thrive as part of a team.
-
Cohorts are put together based on participants’ differences, commonalities, goals, social and communication levels and ages
-
The 5-part progamme 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
~~Keyworker Service~~
We have identified an acute emerging need to bridge a gap for 11–16-year-olds presenting with multiple, complex issues that can’t be addressed through volunteer mentoring alone. Our new Key Worker Service augments mentoring by targeting more skilled intervention at critical points so girls have support, knowhow and resilience to cope, get back on track and thrive, despite crises they face.
Key worker support is holistic, intensive and fully responsive to individual needs. Trained and supervised by a Consultant Clinical Child Psychologist and managed by the Project Manager and Trustees, key workers work within the systems surrounding users (social care/CAMHS/school/GP/ parents etc) and provide practical support e.g. attending GP appointment, completing referral forms, arranging volunteering opportunities to generate positive, substantial and sustainable change.
This new service has been warmly welcomed by the community, supporting 12 girls in its first year and with a view of servicing 18 girls in 2023 and 24 girls by 2024.
~~Mental Health and Wellbeing at School~~
In a holistic approach and with a focus on prevention and promotion of young people’s mental health and wellbeing, Sunbeams continued to provide professional support to school leads around school-based mental health provisions.
In the past year, we co-delivered Year 3 of the OJ WAMHS Initiative, coordinating and supporting City & Hackneys Wellbeing and Mental Health Initiative in 6 OJ schools. Participating schools received one day a month with a dedicated clinician to help them develop, implement and improve school-based provisions for student’s social and emotional resilience. Some focused on new monitoring and evaluation systems for vulnerable students, some developed staff and parent trainings on common mental health issues and others worked to improve student’s voice and emotional literacy. School leads also participated in the WAMHS / IWAS Forum which gave regular opportunities for shared practice, learning and reflection and proved to be a supportive and valuable resource to headteachers, SENCOs and pastoral leads.
~~”~~
The trainings are enlightening and really valuable ~~in helping us support the emotional wellbeing~~ of our pupils. It’s also so helpful to meet staff ~~from other schools and share and learn from their~~ excellent work
Feigy Deutsch Headteacher, Beis Chinuch Lebonos Girls School
Alongside this, Sunbeams coordinated a Mental Health Forum for SENCOs, headteachers and senior staff across all 22 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, produced and co-delivered by parents with lived experience with excellent uptake and feedback on improved knowledge, skills and confidence around supporting the mental health and wellbeing of students.
~~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”. Volunteers are also given the opportunity to complete unlimited unit awards, short courses and e-learning related to young people’s health and wellbeing and their own personal development with providers such as Prospero Teaching, MindEd and AQA. 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
In 2022-23:
• 98% of volunteers who were transitioning out of education and seeking employment, successfully entered employment within 3 months.
• 31 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. • 99% of volunteers who applied to new jobs, used Sunbeams as a reference in their CV/job application. • 97% of mentors who were employed reported improved confidence in the workplace.
• 58% of volunteers who were already employed, advanced in employment (e.g. moving from admin assistant to more senior secretarial role / teacher to running social skills groups)
~~Outcomes~~
~~98%~~
Improved emotional health and wellbeing
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. Parents are also guided on behaviour management and accessing other welfare support (e.g. food banks) contributing to a calmer home environment and more sustained behaviour changes.
-
~~Kayla feels she can cope with her mother’s MS diagnosis because now she meets other girls in the same boat and they share thoughts, feelings and tips.~~
-
~~Ruchi now counts till 10 and does hand squeezes when she feels anxious. She says she “hardly has panic attacks these days” and knows how to handle her” anxiety monster”.~~
~~94%~~
~~Improved academic performance~~
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. Our awareness-raising trainings provide school staff with improved understanding of children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing needs and our professional clinical support helps senior staff implement effective programs to promote and support pupil’s resilience, especially those facing multiple, complex issues.

~~Esther built a great relationship with her mentor. Finally, she placed trust in an adult and enjoyed a rewarding relationship! This new trust enabled her to reconnect and re-engage with school staff and she is making tremendous gains at school. Her headteacher shared “the mentoring relationship has directly improved her school performance” and Esther says “I like school these days”.~~
