Structure and Organisation

The Constitution of the East Norwich Youth Project was amended on the 15th October 2014, changing the name of the Charity to ENYP and updating several administrative clauses, and again in 21st October 2021 updating details of the Charity's membership.

The Charity is managed by the Trustees and the Director who meet regularly to consider the progress of the Charity, its future direction, involvement and activities. The day-to-day operation of the Charity is delegated to the Director who is supported by other members of staff and volunteers.

Trustee Appointments

A minimum of 3 Trustees and a maximum of 7 are appointed and Trustees appoint from their own number, the Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer.

Training

All Trustees, workers and volunteers are inducted into the policies and procedures of the Charity undertaking training to ensure they are well equipped to fulfil their duties.

Related Organisations

ENYP seeks to encourage links with and between churches and other community groups to maximise the opportunities. It works with churches in whatever capacity is required and agreed upon and uses the facilities of churches. The Charity also works with schools and other community groups in the venues arranged or provided. ENYP is very grateful for the support and cooperation it receives in this respect.

Risk Management

The Trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Significant external risks to funding have been subject to regular review to identify funding resources in advance of requirements and where sources are due to cease, to obtain new sources of finance to continue the work of the Charity. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for the authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the Charity. These procedures are periodically reviewed.

Legal Structure

ENYP is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).

Objectives and Activities

Charitable Objects

To promote the social, mental, spiritual, moral and physical development of young people in the area of benefit regardless of their ethnic grouping, political persuasion, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs and to encourage them to reach their full potential and grow in maturity as well-rounded individuals and responsible members of society.

Achievements and progress Review of the Period

The Trustees continue to give oversight to the management of the project. They meet regularly to consider the financial and legal matters pertaining to the project, as well as ensuring that all policies and matters required under the Charity Commissioners’ Legislation are adhered to. In addition to this, the Trustees maintain a keen interest in the various aspects of the project’s work ‘on the ground’, receiving detailed reports from the Director at each Trustee Meeting and in line management meetings.

The Trustees elected at the Annual General Meeting on 11th October 2022 were: Ms Nicola Buckley

The Trustee Appointments made at the Trustees’ Meeting on 11th October 2022 were:

Chair: Mr. David Lechmere

Child Protection: Mrs. Jane Cubitt

Line Manager for Director: Mr. David Lechmere

The Trustees met for 4 meetings during the year and at the AGM.

Financial Matters

The Trustees receive a financial report from the Treasurer at each Trustee’s Meeting. Miss Lucie Fox prepares reports on finance and fundraising matters.

The Trustees are very grateful to all the funding bodies, churches and individuals who have supported the work of ENYP in 2022. During the year, the salaries of the Director and staff team have been reviewed as part of performance management in line with national scales and the living wage.

Preparation of Accounts

Accounts are prepared on a cash payment and receipts basis to the 31st December year-end.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have reviewed the reserving policy during the year and intend that the level of reserves provides adequate financial stability.

The Trustees propose to maintain the charity’s unrestricted reserves at a level which is at least equivalent to one month’s expenditure and no greater than six months with an optimal reserve level between two and three months of expenditure. This policy reflects the uncertainty of future cash flows and their timing and provides assurance that the charity will continue to meet its charitable objectives and responsibilities as an employer.

Reporting and Policies

As a registered Charity, ENYP must submit reports and accounts to the Charity commissioners, and ensure various statutory policies are in place. Major grant bodies also require such reports.

The Trustees work to ensure that the following required policies are formalised and put in place: Safeguarding, Health and Safety, Equal Opportunities, Transportation, Disclosure, Recruitment, Complaints Procedure, Data Protection, Finance, Disciplinary and Grievance.

The Trustees are committed to the implementation and application of these policies and ensure that they are reviewed on an annual basis. Copies of these policies are kept for referral in the ENYP Director's office.

Project Management

The Director, Danny Doran-Smith, attends the Trustee Meetings, and submits either a written or verbal report on each occasion, giving details of the current activity and submitting proposals for new initiatives. In particular, he reports any specific matters of note and raises any concerns. He is line-managed by a trustee who is in a position to oversee the diverse aspects of the project. The Trustees remain committed to supporting the Director and taking action as required to ensure the effective and safe operation of the project. A detailed report on the work of the Project will be given in the Director’s Report.

Summary

The Trustees are committed to the Christian ethos of the project and its charitable objects. They do this by holding the project in reflection and prayer, by continuing to oversee the legal and financial obligations and by implementing and supporting thorough and comprehensive management.

Director’s report

Food poverty, or food insecurity, has a myriad of harmful consequences. It may impact young people during the school holidays, who miss free school meals. Or we’ve heard testimony from parents on low incomes, going without food so they can prioritise their children’s meals. For those on erratic working hour contracts whose poor salaries leave them struggling to balance all outgoings, healthy food is often replaced with cheaper, unhealthier options. We’ve also become aware of many older people unable to prepare meals without support.

It has been a difficult year witnessing so many people struggle with the most basic of needs. Whether it be housing, utility costs, mental health, isolation or a general lack of hope, ENYP has worked hard to again meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of people in a range of ways.

What has been a humbling and heart warming outcome of this work is the growing number of volunteers who appreciate the services we offer and would like to contribute and ‘give back’ in some way. Whether it is offering to help with a youth group, or bringing in homegrown vegetable contributions to the Social Supermarket, people have surprised us time and again with their positive response to our provision.

The demand and response to our detached bus continues to rise. The Summer saw a phenomenal amount of children, young people and families attend and engage with the smoothie bar, art activities, listening ear mentoring and computer game options. Many spoke about how it was a welcoming return to reality after almost 2 years of lockdown, isolation and anxiety.

In a time where many services and charities have faced cuts or closures, I am once again thankful beyond measure to every trustee, staff member, volunteer, child and individual who has ensured ENYP continues to thrive.

About Us

Charitable Objects

ENYP exists to promote the social, mental, spiritual, moral and physical development of young people in the area of benefit regardless of their ethnic grouping, political persuasion, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs and to encourage them to reach their full potential and grow in maturity as well-rounded individuals and responsible members of society.

ENYP currently works in partnership with over 2,500 young people and adults through a wide range of clubs, projects and activities. We also have face-to-face contact with over several thousand children and young people through our detached work and school programmes and community projects.

Vision

Our Vision

To work in partnership with young people and adults to help them reach their full potential, through a diverse range of programmed activities, which respect their views and opinions, encourage their roles in participation, help them learn new skills, and make positive changes within their lives, and communities.

Our Mission

ENYP is rooted in local communities and therefore recognises the distinctive differences between areas of a city/location. Sometimes this will mean communities widely recognised as suffering from multiple deprivations, such as high crime, poor health, low educational achievement, broken families and few opportunities for young people, and other times it will mean delivering in the more affluent areas of a city/location.

“Wherever ENYP is located we choose to celebrate the culture, lifestyle and makeup of the local area”

Local Communities

The work of ENYP takes place predominantly in the most deprived communities, evidenced by national and local statistics for multiple deprivation. The characteristics of these deprived and disadvantaged areas can be similar and we have developed a range of experiences of working in these areas; however we also appreciate that community life is different and developed through building community relationships in each of the areas.

Area of benefit chart and key issues

Our Values

Holistic

We are committed to exploring and supporting all areas of need: physical, mental, moral and spiritual. We aim to be non-judgemental and inclusive in all areas of provision.

Education

We believe there are many ways to learn.

We allow space for trust and safety to be felt and nurture the voices and opinions of others in a democratic fashion.

Relationship

We are social beings and work best in partnership and collaboration with others. We accept all people as equal and of having worth, gifts and value.

Character

Respect, truth and integrity are displayed at all times, whilst granting forgiveness and grace where needed.

We accept that each of us is a ‘work in progress’ but appreciate lessons delivered with love is often what’s needed.

2022 projects and initiatives

One of our main focuses of delivery in 2022 was our food initiatives focusing specifically on supporting those suffering from food poverty and insecurity. This developed through our programmes from Covid-19 recognising and understanding the issues people were facing and the subsequent areas of support that children, young people and communities needed in this time. We also opened up our work in schools and youth provision, delivering this in slightly different ways to take account of new ways of working and using new approaches to delivery.

Projects and initiatives

'Picnic project’

Our deliveries increased by over 460% during COVID-19 as we responded to the immediate need for food provision. These parcels contained a range of fresh items, including fresh fruit, vegetables and bakery, and helped provide support for households in need. Providing this support continued for those in need of these during 2022 and we delivered over several thousand parcels in the year, however, in line with our expansion in our food initiatives we also encouraged households and families to access other longer-term support in new projects.

‘Social supermarket’

We recognised that whilst there is a need for the direct provision of food parcels in a crisis it is not the long-term answer and we therefore developed other projects to address some of the more underlying causes.

In June of this year, ENYP launched our first social supermarket, opening initially for one session a week and then moving to three sessions a week. In the first 4 months of the project over 250 struggling households became members and with the impact of the cost of living crisis, we saw further people become members and were reaching over 1200 people through the initiative, providing low cost healthy and wholesome produce and household items and giving people access to social support.

We surpassed our initial annual target of members in just a few months, and membership continues to grow. The social supermarket has become not only a space for people to access and choose low-cost quality food items but has also become a place for people to build connections and relationships with others.

‘Urban Garden’

We started to develop an urban community garden as a space to grow fruit and vegetables and more sustainable ways to source food. Towards the end of 2022, we began to prepare the ground for growing, including the setting up of a polytunnel to facilitate produce growth, and during 2023 this project began to develop further. The aim of the community garden space is to help grow produce but also encourage the community to do this in their own garden spaces, creating smaller gardens which helps to make their sourcing of healthy fruit and vegetables more sustainable.

Fusion’

We continued to deliver our Fusion project throughout the school academic terms and during the school summer holidays. Using the facilities of a double-decker bus we provided a ‘pop-up’ youth provision targeting the areas most known for antisocial behaviour and deprived communities. Young people have loved the opportunity to participate in these activities and socialise with their peers and session attendance each time is usually around 100 people. Our team of workers provide information on healthy eating and lifestyles and provides a

listening/mentoring ear to young people. During the school holidays, we also gave packed lunches out to young people who attended, knowing that many families would usually access free school meals, to help give families extra food during the holidays.

Access Schools Work’

At the start of 2022, ENYP commenced some work in schools - specifically in providing support with mentoring, small group work, assemblies and after-school work. We continued our partnership with St Edmunds Church and Primary School in Acle as part of this. The response from pupils and parents was encouraging and the school valued the contribution made to its curriculum support

Youth clubs’

ENYP offered support to the Tuckswood Youth Drop during the school terms of 2022 by providing youth workers to deliver youth engagement projects in the Lakenham and Tuckswood area for young people of high school age.

‘Activities at Russell Street Community Centre’

During the winter months of 2022 and in support of providing a ‘warm space’ for those struggling with heating their homes due to the cost of living crisis we provided a number of different opportunities at the community centre for local residents to come together in a warm space.

‘Warm hands warm hearts’ offered a warm welcome with free hot drinks and snacks and also some activities for those participating, such as watercolours, candle decorating, keyring making and board games. It became a place for local young and old people to build connections again, particularly after the social deficit faced by so many during the pandemic.

The Russell Street Community Centre also provided a key location for our Social Supermarket. Located in the top 3% of the most nationally deprived communities in the UK (according to IMD 2019) the centre has become a key place at the heart of the community.

‘Inside OUT’

Detached Youth Work based primarily in the Heigham Grove, Heartsease, and New Catton areas provided youth work support to young people in their environment. We typically worked on the street, in parks, etc. The nature of our work meant we were able to engage with some of the local community's most vulnerable young people who are not accessing any other services.

Fundraising practice and considerations

ENYP continues to fundraise in line with the Charity Commission’s guidance and the codes of fundraising practice – these are there to support charities and voluntary organisations' fundraising efforts. Both provide guidelines and considerations for undertaking the different aspects of fundraising to ensure laws are adhered to, fundraising is professional and that standards are consistent. To this end, fundraising will be transparent and open, designed to generate funds and income to support service delivery of the above areas of work for ENYP.

ENYP continues to use a range of fundraising techniques to ensure that income for the Charity comes from a variety of sources (reducing the over-reliance on a particular source) and supporting the Charity to be able to plan for sustainability. Fundraising techniques we continue to use include; individuals, statutory sources, fundraising events/activities, earned/commissioned income, grant-making trusts and the local community.

Finance

The end-of-year finances for 2022 indicates a surplus for the financial year of £72,278

Income for 2022 = £229,164 Restricted funds (grants, service contracts) = £198,771 Unrestricted funds (church giving, donations, appeals) = £30,393 Expenditure for 2022 = £156,886

Salaries and on costs = £84,739

Grant funding

We are extremely grateful to funders who have supported us with grants this year including:

Thanks from the Chair

Summary

This year has again seen us change and adapt to a changing world. Whether helping those struggling with the cost of living crisis and isolation through the launching of our Social Supermarket or launching our ‘Inside OUT’ detached youth work project, ENYP continues to listen and respond to the wants and needs of it's beneficiaries.
