Objectives and Activities

Summary of the Objects of the Charity as set out in its Governing Document

The Objects of the CIO named US are:

To advance the health and improve the quality of life of young people in Northumberland, Tyne and Wear and North Durham. Beneficiaries are aged between twelve and twenty-five and are young people who experience or are at risk of developing mental health issues and/or neurodevelopmental disorders. Support is also offered to their parents/carers.

To engage young people and their parents and carers in sport and other physical activities that have a proven beneficial effect on physical and mental health.

To support and strengthen the impact of physical activities through healthy eating workshops.

To empower beneficiaries to transform their lives through participation in sports and physical activities, enabling them to

To empower young people to play an active part in the long and short-term planning of activities and US in order to develop their organisational skills, whilst ensuring that activities meet the needs of beneficiaries.

To help young people make a positive contribution to family and community life.

Summary of the Main Activities Undertaken for the Public Benefit in Relation to the Charity's Objects

US works in the North East of England. Our trustees are passionate about destigmatising mental illness and enhancing the support available to young people.

US delivers on an outreach basis. We provide sports and other fitness activities to small groups and individuals, aged between 12 and 25 who experience or are at risk of developing mental health difficulties. Our mission is to help these young people adopt physical activity as an enjoyable lifestyle tool invaluable to both their physical and mental health.

Through sports and fitness activities we aim to empower young people and help them to:

3

We provide personalised programmes and on-programme and progression support. Depending on individual circumstances, our support can: be a preventative tool for self-managing mental health and reducing the need for referral to formal health services; can support young people during the long wait to access NHS mental health care; or can support the recovery process and ongoing maintenance of good mental health.

Since 2016 we have built up a large network of agencies from health, social care, education and the justice sector and charities. They and families and individuals make referrals to US. All young people referred - individually or in small groups - receive an initial assessment. This enables the Referral Co-ordinator to develop a bespoke programme to meet their needs and interests.

We have an established, vetted bank of outstanding providers who deliver a diverse range of activities for our young people including: fitness training; yoga; swimming; dance; ice skating; horseriding; archery; cycling and running. We have the sector knowledge and links to identify high-quality providers in other specialisms as required.

We provide 1:1 sessions for young people not yet ready to join a group, small group provision to address shared issues, and support into existing community provision. The Referral Coordinator provides on-going support and progression planning.

We are an organisation that continuously consults young people about our development. We evaluate the impact of our offer through consultation with participants, parents and carers, providers and referral agency colleagues.

Achievement and Performance

Statutory Declaration

The trustees declare that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the commission in exercising their powers or duties.

Summary of the Main Achievements of the Charity for the Year

A Year of Opportunity

2022/23 was an exciting year for US as we had in place funding both to increase the FTE of our Referrals and Activities Co-ordinator, and also to employ and develop a Youth Engagement Officer role which would both support our young people on their US journey and drive our youth voice focus. Being able to make this level of investment in staffing was hugely important to provide increased capacity to respond to the 30% growth in referral numbers.

The referrals we received in year were for young people primarily from Gateshead, Newcastle and North Tyneside, with small numbers from South Tyneside, Sunderland, Northumberland and Durham. It is reflective of this that the majority of our established provider network are based in

these three locales, as it supports our focus on eliminating barriers to engagement – such as having to travel to an out of area venue can create.

Our Growth

In 2022/23 US provided activities for 260 young people. This is 91% year on year growth and a continuing incremental growth from our first operating year in 2016/17.

We delivered:

33 groups activities 52 one to one activities

The activities US provides for each young person are based on their personal interests, this is vital to ensure the young person’s engagement is sustained, and in turn, helps US support participants to develop the personal attributes needed to embed regular sport and exercise into their lives thus benefitting mental and physical health

Examples of one to one activities undertaken by our participants in 2022/23 include: climbing, boxercise, ariel, circus skills, horse riding, swimming, fitness training, football skills. The scope of our one to one work bridges a spectrum: from sessions organised directly with a specialist trainer or coach who will work intensively with the young person to build skills and confidence, to supporting and organising access to organisations in the community who deliver activities e.g. Stepney Banks Stables, Circus Central, Go Gateshead. US team members attend sessions with our participants, being a friendly companion and helping overcome the barriers of going to a ‘new place / doing a new thing’. As young people grow in confidence, we will then fund a membership to allow them to continue attending independently encouraging a permanent integration of sport into their lifestyle.

Group delivery that supports young people

Our group sessions, particularly those working with partners, has seen continuation and development in 2021/22.

Our weekly online yoga group continues; effective both for its regular sessions focusing on relaxation and mindfulness, but also as an activity immediately accessible to any newly referred young person as they move through the referral and personalised planning process.

In schools, we ran another successful cohort of pre-exam stress relief yoga classes with Year 11 students at Dame Allens, Newcastle.

We continue to work with Excelsior School in Newcastle. We are now delivering a ‘Health Club’ group for Year 8 students who have been identified by their pastoral team as struggling with wellbeing issues in particular following the uncertainty caused by COVID. A qualified trainer offers a varied range of activities based on the initial discussions which took place with the students about their particular interests.

We have just commenced delivery of multi-sports sessions with a cohort of students receiving additional support through the GOALS programme at John Spence School in North Tyneside.

In the community, following the impact of and feedback from the weekly self defence programme we delivered at Gatehead’s Young Women’s Outreach Project in 2021/22, this year we have run multiple half day sessions which allowed a larger number of young woman to access these valuable training.

5

An early development of our Youth Engagement Officer’s work was establishing a weekly ‘Swim and Chat’ group with residents of the Tyneside Foyer. An evolution of the weekly sessions we were offering in the Foyer, it responded to a group of the young people’s interest in expanding their fitness activities, and building familiarity with the local facilities. A small group was established who travelled to Elswick Pool on a Friday afternoon to swim or use the gym as well as having the opportunity to talk to both our team and fellow residents.

In February 2023, we held our Youth Engagement Launch event at Lane 7 bowling alley in Newcastle. 21 young people attended and over the course of the evening, and drawing sustenance from food, drinks and games of bowling, they provided feedback on: the benefits of destigmatising mental ill health, barriers preventing young people from engaging in sport and exercise, and feedback on US’s online presence.

Moving in 2023/24, we will bring young people together regularly, both in groups and singularly, to develop a youth voice which will help to inform the decisions of the charity as well as explore ways that young people can foster their personal growth and celebrate their interests and talents by collaborating in projects with US.

Feedback and quotes

A selection of quotes from our participants:

"I'm absolutely loving my session. Being diagnosed with bipolar when I was 16 and been on various medications. After my last episode since starting new medication and the weekly training its massively helped my confidence and just my overall mood. So thankful for the service that's been provided." (Personal Training) Male, 21

Most of all I’ve enjoyed: meeting new people and finding a healthy coping mechanism to deal with my anxiety. (Group fitness classes) Male, 19

I was referred into US Active by the team who had offered me immediate support. It was some support while I waited for more long-term help from therapists and also something different. I wanted something different. US Active was exactly that immediately pairing me with both a personal trainer and allowing me to join a phenomenal yoga class. That was my initial introduction to US Active and I am and will continue to be so very grateful for it. (PT / Yoga) Female,23

“Taking part in sessions supported by US active has really helped to give me space away from my thoughts and worries. I love my time swimming, it gives me freedom.” Male,19

Staffing and Volunteers

We have continued to employ on a part-time basis a very experienced Chief Operating Officer.

In year our Referrals and Activities Co-ordinator post has increased to 0.75FTE, having absorbed the ‘progression planning’ component of the Youth Engagement Officer role. Following a change in personnel, it became clear that this was a more consistent means of offering continuity to our young people throughout their US Journey. We reappointed to the 0.5FTE Youth Engagement Officer role in November 2022, and the role will focus on the remaining two strands agreed with our funder, RISE:

Trustees and the volunteer Fundraising Committee apply their skills, experience and time to support the charity’s work and are key to its success and growth. We are very grateful to those who have delivered our fundraising activities throughout this year, and of course those who attended of events.

Funding Streams

We work continuously to bring in the funds required to plan, manage and deliver our provision in a safe and supportive manner. We do this through applying for funding from trusts, foundation and other funding bodies and through a range of fundraising activities.

In addition to the funding secured for the Referrals and Activities Co-ordinator and Youth Engagement Officer in 2022/23, we obtained in year funding for activities for young people from: The Reece Foundation, The Co-op Community Fund and The Middleton Foundation.

In 2022/23 we were fortunate to receive some substantial donations from personal and business donors.

Our very experienced and hard-working fundraising committee have managed to maintain and develop a range of engaging fundraising activities. Fundraising activities have included:
