We established ourselves on Psalter Lane in 2016,
and over the 8 years we were there, we really made it
our home. A comfy, cosy cott(ige on the outskirts of
Nether Edge, it provided a welcoming 8P(Ice for
young people but it limited how many young people
we could work with and which activities we offered.
As <1 part of our 2030 str(Ite8y, we were looking for a
new centre for Golddigger Trust, to enable us to serve
more of Sheffield'5 young people and provide a range
of different spaces to expand our support and enable
us to fulfil that vision. In the springlsumrner of 2024,
we moved into the Refinery. two floors of Ward's
Exchange on Ecclesall Road, including a warm,
contemporary cafe space on the ground floor. and the
first Iloor. which we have developed to create oEfice

Since J(Inuary 2023 Golddigger Trust has been
working in secondary schools across Sheffield,
del ivering the 'Core' programme as part ol the
SAFE T(i%k f()rce - (I g£)vernment inve.4tment i n
young pe()ple at ri4k of involvement in vi()lence
and to support them to re-engage with education.
Outcomes for this year hi)ve been rei)Ily positive.
Overall, we have engaged with 229 young people in
the CORE programrne this year across two cohorts.
For a group who have hi5toric(Illy struggled with
attenddnce in school we are delighted that 7890 01
younb pe(Iple completed the pr()bfrdmme, with 80%
saying that their ability to manage their stress and
anger has improved through doing the course.
Core is (In interiiclive progr(Imme ()f group and
individual work, including i-l goal-based
mentoring. consisting of four pha5e5 which
focused on developing positive emotional
wellbeing and executive function in an
accessible. creative and fun way. It aimed to
reduce behavioural i58ue5, i mprove 5elf-worth ly
self-esteem, enhance prosocial attitudes and self-
control among participating student5.
This is having the desired effect on behaviour too,
with 68% of students who completed the intervention
showing a reduction in behaviour issues.
Running until Easter 2025, we are delighted to be
continuing to ()Fler thi8 provi%ion t() (i %eLtion of
young pcople who might not ordinarily engage with
us in the community, as well as strengthening
relationships Wlth schools across Shelfield. Looking
to the future, we will continue to build on these
relationships, offering to deliver both CORE as well
as a new. universal programme to work with even
more young people through Sheffield's secondary
schools.
Working predominantly with Y7-9s, we recognise
that for many of these young people, this

Liz.. I volunteer on a Tuesday evening at the

Golddigger because I was aware of their work with
young people, and I liked their ethos and core values.

people to get involved in physical exercise and I know

Rese￿eS Policy
Golddigger Trust takes the view that it is reasonable
to build up a level of reserves sufficient to support
activities. not covered by grants or trust income.
which allows the Trust to professionally manage the
activities to a level which does not compromise
service users. The Trustees believe that such a level of
co8t.s currently equ(Ites to around £85.000. These
costs will provide sufficient working time and allow
for als statutory payments including notice and
redundancy where appropriate, and all necessary
occupancy costs. Golddigger Trust cannot use
restricted gr£int and tru.8t income to build reserves
and the current level has been built up from
Golddigger Trust's own fundraising and personal
donations given to support generiil activity- Due to
prudent findnci(il m(In(Igement. active fundr(11.%ing
