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 their home or college
environment. We offer consistent support, advice and guidance with the aim of
building trusting relationships with young people and being a stable part of their
lives whilst they navigate their paths through poor mental health and adolescence.
The roles also involve close liaison with Tavistock College - attending Team
around the Family meetings, College meetings, liaising with parents and teachers
as well as helping young people to understand healthy relationships, make
choices about their future careers, further education, daily life skills and coping
mechanisms. Although we are able to see young people at the stage of early
intervention, many of the young people we see already have complex needs and
are experiencing multiple mental health issues. We are not medical professionals
or counsellors, but represent a consistent adult who is not a family member or
someone in authority that can help young people to feel supported in these
difficult years.
Our referrals come from GPs, Tavistock College, Social Workers, Parents and
Self referrals. 1-1s have increased from 20 to 30 young people seen 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. We have had over 60 referrals
this year. There is a waiting list which we review every 2 months; this is managed
by offering wellbeing group work sessions and ‘Momentum’ sessions (project
work for vulnerable young people).
THANK YOU for everything that you do. You are invaluable. – Dartmoor MAT
Involvement with NHS implementation meetings:
Tavistock Youth Cafe is part of a steering group ‘TheDevon CC NHS Local Care
Plan Children and Young People’. The aim is to join up work with other agencies,
find gaps and seek funding to improve current issues with young people's poor
mental health.

In the last year our input has helped to inform training needs for organisations working with young people.

Past year’s outcomes from LCP CYP :

Momentum

This group began as a response to a growing number of young people who were being educated outside school either of choice or because they were ‘off-rolled’. This issue has not gone away and indeed numbers are rising significantly both locally and nationally.

Momentum was expanded into a second group to help with ‘mental health’ waiting list demands and to address issues where young people are at risk of exclusion or disaffection from school.

The outcomes from these sessions have been extremely rewarding, The scheme is project based – most recently a ‘Heritage Project’. An ex– policeman visited the group and fed back the following-

I was not really sure about how engaged the young people might be, so I came along with a completely open and non-judgmental mind and was blown away by their enthusiasm and the way that they engaged with me. I was really taken by surprise at their knowledge and the way that every single one of them had something positive to offer.

I am currently a chaplain in HMP Dartmoor and work with adult males who might well have not found themselves in the situation they are in if they had had the opportunities in their own adolescence which Tavistock Youth Cafe provides."

Wellbeing sessions

Sessions are termly and usually run for 6 weeks with new young people and returning young people taking part.

Having the workshops in place helps to support young people that would otherwise be sat on our waiting list. Wellbeing is offered when the referral looks appropriate for this support. Young people are pleased to take part and benefit from the activities that are offered, meeting others who are experiencing similar issues and getting to know youth workers and the TYC environment, before going on to have mentored support if necessary.

LGBTQ+

We are working weekly with young people from the LGBTQ+ community, some feel part of that community and others are more solitary and happier to be so. TYC is an inclusive space that can support and help young people. We have lively discussions that include looking at world views, being aware of sources of information coming from social media and personal interactions with others that can be offensive or upsetting.

The TYC team aims to help them navigate their way through difficult decisions/family issues and other problems they are experiencing. We have found in some of the young people we are working with that neurodivergence is also a factor.

This year The ‘JustB’ group took part in the preparation, planning and delivery of ‘ ’ TYC at Tavi Pride .

Zephyr Music Project

Zephyr has had a steady year, with numbers slightly down since September due to older members moving on to work and University.

We will be structuring Zephyr slightly differently going forward to encourage more young people to perform together and create bands. Jam nights and small group tuition will be on offer.

We have two new volunteers

Our collaboration with Tavistock Library to offer a monthly open mic night ‘Shake The Shelves’ has been working well with young people enjoying the opportunity to perform alongside other musicians and others volunteering to collect money on the door.

We are heading to Tavistock College music department to promote Zephyr.

Friday Sessions

Our open access Friday sessions run each week during term time. These sessions are delivered across two evening sessions, there is an early evening session for school years 7 & 8 and a later session for years 9, 10, & 11 +. These sessions continue to provide a safe place in the centre of the community for young people to meet on a Friday night, access youth work workers, and engage in recreational activities, group games, activities and cooking. Attendance to these sessions is typically between 30 to 50 young people per session.

We have also run workshops to discuss issues impacting young people. Youth workers have completed training with the Eddystone Trust to deliver the C-Card scheme, which means we are able to offer confidential sexual health advice, training and access to free contraception. We ran an interactive session that discussed sexual health and introduced the scheme to young people. We have also held sessions that focused on raising awareness around drugs and alcohol, and were supported with equipment to run these sessions from DYS Space. We held a debate night looking at various issues in the media and politics, and encouraged young people to formulate arguments and understand each other's differences. We also carried out group activities encouraging young people to discuss healthy relationships. We have further sessions planned this year to discuss online safety, privacy, the pros and cons of social media and the impact media can have on self esteem and body image.

During Friday sessions we have a number of young people that volunteer to support the sessions and help run activities. Some of these young people have been struggling with isolation, confidence and issues at home and have found taking on responsibility helpful in developing confidence and resilience. We have also helped young people complete their Duke of Edinburgh award with volunteering opportunities. This year a placement student from Marjon University joined our Friday team to support their learning and development.

Two youth workers from our Friday sessions have been awarded bursaries from the National Youth Agency and are currently training for their Level 2 and 3 certificates in Youth Work Practice. This learning will help to develop, shape and strengthen our session planning and delivery over the coming year. It will support our youth workers to develop a greater understanding of the principles and values of youth work, learn more about how young people develop, enhance their communication skills and encourage reflective practice.

Summer Programme

The Summer Programme aims to provide challenge and experiences for young people in this rural area who otherwise have very little access to these activities. It is subsidised in order to be inclusive and available especially for those on low income.

The Summer Programme has been absolutely amazing for my children. Without it, they wouldn’t have been able to go to the places they have. They have tried new things and made great memories. The low cost is a huge help for me as a single parent and also meant that I did not have to restrict the amount of activities that they wanted to do. Parent

Tavy Trails Jam 2023

Was – despite several attempts - postponed due to wet weather which made it unsafe to ride!

Tavi Trails is now part of ‘UK association of trail associations & bike parks’ soon to have a better name!

Charlies Voyage 2023

Following the last 2 years sailing residentials we have again taken 8 young people on an experience they will not forget!

We sailed from Mount Batten to Whitsand Bay, Goran Haven, Fowey, and Charlestown

It was the easiest sail so far, the winds were kind to us and although some turned green no one was sick! (which is a first)

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.

Shortly after we returned I received an email from The Island Trust to explain that they were struggling and would therefore be selling 2 of their fleet of 3 boats, however, the boat left in the fleet is slightly bigger, giving the opportunity for 10 young people to sail next year.

Supporting us again this year are ‘The Tavistock Wheelers Cycling Club’, with a fundraiser on Sunday 19th November at TYC and another one at their AGM on 9th December. Tavistock Ladies Golf club have named us as their charity, and the Round Table will be donating too. We intend to use money raised from these community groups to contribute to ‘Charlies Voyage 2024’

Funding

Funding has been harder for us recently: we are finding more pots are oversubscribed and less money is available. Nothing is definite and we are aware that although TYC is offering a unique service in this area, we cannot guarantee long term funds unless we enter into a large funding application that can take us forward over a number of years.

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

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.
