independent, mature and responsible individuals; (b) advancing education; (c) relieving unemployment; (d) providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons. Report of the Tavistock Youth Café 2021-22 Support for Young People’s Mental Health 1-1 Mentoring We currently have three Young People's Health and Wellbeing coaches who are funded by The Primary Care Network (PCN). The Health and Wellbeing coaches work on a 1.1 basis giving young people the time they need to talk and be listened to outside the environment of Tavistock College. We offer consistent support, advice, guidance and aim to build a trusting relationship with young people. The work also involves attending ‘Team around the Family’ meetings, College meetings, liaising with parents and teachers as well as helping the young people to understand healthy relationships, make choices about their future careers, further education, daily life skills and coping mechanisms. Many of the young people we see can have complex needs and are experiencing multiple mental health issues. We are not medical professionals or counsellors, but being able to have a consistent adult who is not a family member or someone in authority helps young people to feel supported in these difficult years. Our referrals come from GPs, Tavistock College, Social Workers and Self referrals. We see around 20 young people a week on a 1-1 basis. Some we will continue to see for a couple of years, others for a number of months or weeks depending on their needs. There is a waiting list which we review every 2 months, this is unfortunate but we manage some of the list by offering ‘Wellbeing’ group work sessions and ‘Momentum’ sessions (project work for vulnerable young people). These are described below. Involvement with NHS implementation meetings: In May this year we were contacted by the West Devon Population Health Management Coordinator. They are running an NHS England Population Health Management Place Programme in the West Devon LCP (Local Care Plan) Area. The local leads decided to focus on youth mental health, and as a result the Youth Cafe was invited to be involved. The aim is to have people/organisations attending the Implementation meetings who are directly involved with this cohort of young people, and enable them to have an input into potential early intervention strategies. As a result of this the TYC Manager has attended regular meetings and talked about what the team is seeing, what the team is working with, what the team believes is needed and what the young people are saying. Anonymous mental health data gathered from our 1.1 referrals was also shaed. Following the implementation meetings, the team is now part of a steering group (West Devon LCP CYP Working Group). These aim to join

up work with other agencies, find gaps and seek funding to improve current issues with young people's poor mental health.

There has been very positive feedback from GPs, Southwest Counsellors, the Multi Academy Trust and Young Devon.

Momentum

Momentum projects have been full on and a lot of fun this year, we have focused a lot on the outdoors, as this is very popular with the group and known to improve poor mental health.

Wellbeing sessions

We had some great workshops with our Youth Workers making various things, such as candles, lavender eye masks, tie dye, all therapeutic exercises for more anxious young people. Following those workshops we spent time visiting Freddie’s Fibre Friends, where young people could meet and feed alpaca and sheep and then use their wool to wet felt, spin and make jewelry. There were walks in nature with a craft activity that young people enjoyed, such as; pebble painting and making bird feeders In October, there will be a new role of Well-being youth worker, this will enable us to continue these groups.

‘JustB’

LGBTQ+ Group Wednesdays 4:30pm until 6pm

Just B began in the spring following the growing numbers of LGBTQ+ young people attending sessions at TYC. We meet bi-weekly and have between 4 and 8 attending, depending on the College day they have had. Our focus up until the Summer was on the first Tavistock Pride which was held in July.

In the following months we will look at various topics that the group has told us they want to discuss. We hope that going forward JustB will become a valuable source of information as well as a safe space for young people to be themselves without fear or judgment.

We have had conversations with Tavistock College, who also have a new LGBTQ+ group and they want to do some collaborative work with JustB. COGS COGS is a support group for young people who are diagnosed or waiting for diagnosis for cognitive conditions such as AD(H)D, ASD, dyslexia, diyspraxia, etc. It provides access to practical and emotional support with Youth Workers in the absence of a qualified therapist. We saw a need here as waiting lists are currently at least 2 years long and some young people are struggling at school. There have been a few sessions so far. These covered an initial introduction to the group (mission statement and confidentiality) and the first step of externalising and separating from the diagnosis or potential diagnosis. This was done by creating and drawing a character that represents the condition and giving them a name. This was to promote good habits: not identifying with the condition and not allowing it to define who they are or their sense of self. This was followed by an interactive game to introduce the concept of regular but healthy "dopamine breaks" as most of these conditions can be overwhelming at times.

Moving forward we plan to offer this as an extra 1:1 so that a young person can talk specifically about any concerns they have on this subject. This would provide them with an opportunity to get a "referral health check" to ensure everything was in place for them with their GP, school, CAMHS, etc, coordinating this with their parents, plus some tailored support such as memory games, recommended phone apps and time management. – Zephyr a Music Programme Zephyr has had a busy year with the introduction of ‘Shake The Shelves’ in the Tavistock Library. This is a long-standing music project that can adapt to different needs and that the community loves to draw on for public events. Fridays Drop in Youth sessions Friday sessions are remaining very popular across all age groups, with an enthusiastic and diverse group of young people in regular attendance. Currently there is a split session for school years 7 and 8s, and a later session for years 9,10 & 11 plus. Attendance figures are regularly between a minimum of 30 and up to 50 young people across both sessions each week. Friday sessions provide a safe and supportive place for young people to meet with friends, engage with activities and access advice and guidance from youth workers when needed. The young people that attend come from many different walks of life, varying friendship groups, and we have also seen an increase in members from the LGBTQ+ community. This provides an opportunity for young people to mix with others that they may perceive as different to themselves and bond over activities. This environment also provides a good foundation for discussion and debate within the group. We are currently surveying our members to find out what topics they would like in future sessions, and advice over the next year, with focused sessions planned on healthy relationships, managing friendships and conflict, employability, finance and budgeting, sexual health, drugs and alcohol awareness, online safety and building confidence. Two of our youth workers are also due to complete a training module with the Eddystone Trust in September, which will also enable us to become a C-Card partner to provide further sexual health advice, free contraception, and signposting to those aged 13 and above. Over the last year we have had several new members join with additional learning needs and complex mental health issues. It has been great to see these young people find a space they feel comfortable being themselves, and to witness the group form strong friendships with these new members that have previously felt quite isolated. Summer Programme All activities were well attended and some over subscribed, with reserve lists. Trips were made possible by the yearly commitment from the volunteers at Country Bus who give their time to drive minibuses and the donations/funding received throughout the year. ‘Charlie’s Voyage’ 5 day sailing residential Following last year’s sailing residential we have again taken 8 young people on an experience they will not forget! Guided by the Skipper and the Skipper’s mate we had a fantastic time and came away with certificates. Last year's trip and this one has been fundamental in shaping the future of two young people, JA who has now started studying adventurous activities at Dutchy and TC, who has been on another voyage with the island trust which he organized himself.

We had two young people who were very anxious and didn't believe they could do the 5 days. They pushed themselves out of their comfort zones and had a great time.

Tavy Trails Jam 2022

The Trails have had a lot of maintenance carried out this year. A crew of dig volunteers worked during the weekends for months to revive the trails and get them back to good working order. This was done in time for our 10th year Trails Jam, which took place on July 23rd.

The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

The charity does not make grants or make investments.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

Volunteers make an important contribution to our Youth Sessions, supporting Youth Workers and, especially, tutors in the Zephyr Music sessions. Other organisations that use the facility depend on volunteers and they are an increasingly important resource as we expand our provision.

Developing our volunteers is a key aim and target for our work.

Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main The biggest success has been in developing our work to support young achievements of the charity people with issues affecting their mental health. See the full report during the year above. Additional appointments have created a team approach to our work which also has the effect of making the organisation more dynamic. It has made the New Tavistock Youth Café a much more extensive operation that has considerably more capacity to support young people in this area. We have also managed to keep the Youth Café on a sound financial footing.

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

The Charity is dependent on fund raising and has no guaranteed funding in any one year. We have been successful in achieving funding from Space (formerly the Devon Youth Service) from the Law Foundation, the Primary Care Network, UK Youth and other smaller groups and funds.

Our current financial position is sound, however, the Trustees recognize that success with bids for grants and our own fundraising is crucial in the longer term.
