We also operate an outreach van taking our services out into the surrounding area. and work in several local primary and secondary schools. We work in partnership with other services to connect people to support that is available. We aim to be inclusive and accessible to everyone. reducing barriers that prevent participation in other services and activities In our local area. including affordability. awareness, Isolation and confidence. Everyone will find a friendly and non-jud8emental welcome at the Prout Bridge Project. Our model is to offer open-access activities, clLJbs and groups as well as more targeted support for those who need it. This makes support more available, and allows signposting between services. Most of our work {around 75%} is with young people aEed 8-25. This youth focus recognises the lack of other provision for young people in our area. If the Prout Bridge Project did not exist there would be very few activities and services accessible to many children and young people in our area. We also support local families and the broader community, offering service5 for adults of all ages. Here again. our focu5 is on offering services that are not accessible or otherwise available. We fulfil our objectives through the following activities: Youth Youth clubs Junior youth club, 38es 8-11 (primary school age) Senior youth club, ages 11-18 (secondary school age) Youth outreach Evenin8 youth worker outreach in the town and at the skatepark Youth music The Phoenix youth band- weekly sessions and opportunities to perform in public at local events School holida activi Activity days in school holidays and half terms School transition Summentor project foryoung people moving into year 7 and older mentor volunteers Youn volunteers ro ramme Training and supportin8 senior worker volunteer5 to develop 5ki115 and help with running youth clubs

PROUT BRIDGE PROJEcr TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AuGu20z5 Achievements and performance Significant octivitie5 ond ochievement5 against objertives We remain committed to this mission in what has been a busy year of ever- increasing demand across the different strands of our services. The high cost of living, rural deprivation and isolation from the aftermath of Covid have all contributed to put greater demand on our services and on our team, with just our Director of Services, a term-time only YoLtth Work and Community Manager, two qualified, paid part-time youth workers. two part-time paid youth support workers, and 9 volunteers. YOUTH - up to 90 vounE people aged 8-18 attend our youth clubs each week taking part in a wide variety of activities. This is an increase of 12% over the previous year. We also undertake outreach youth work in schools and community SP3ces during which we see around 100 young people throughout the year and provlde holiday activity days seeing a different cohort of young people of approximately 75 over a year. Summentor, our mentoring into secondary education programme, had 15 young people in total taking part this summer. All this work puts pressure on our capacity to ensure sufficiently skilled members of staff and trained volunteers are available. The Phoenix Youth Band has a steady membership and is gaining recognition within the local community to perform at public events, which Is a great accolade to the two band leaders and all band members. MENTAL HEALTH - we have worked with 62 children and young people aged 8-18 this year through our targeted, accessible I:1 mental health support programme, plus 4 school groupwork sessions, each over 6 weeks, with 617 young people taking part in each. More funding to recruit further qualified support for thi5 targeted youth work is a priority, as this service makes a marked difference to young people's lives. recognised by the continuous flow of referrals to U5. and from very positive feedback from them and their families. Unfortunately, the counselling service managed independently, but based at the Prout Bridge closed this year due to a lack of trained counsellors 3fter the retirement of the counselling manager. However, Access to Wellbeing is now using the building one dav each week offering counselling advice services for adults, which ensures a continued adult mental health support at the Prout Bridge community hub.

Café Create, a free weekly drop in for adults. is very well attended with around 25 people attending and a new initiative, 'Only 4 Blokes, has grown steadily over the last year to 12 regular attendees. A lunch for those alone on Christmas Day, generously funded by a local donor, has been planned and supported by our volunteers and stsff.

Regular provision includes a Food Bank, Clothe5 Bank, Health Vi51tors, Dance Fitness, Kick Boxing. Pilates. NHS Health checks, Live Well Dorset, Citizens Advice Bureau, Social Prescribers. the Probation Service and Royal British Legion. The welcome news in early 2025 of our successful bid for a 5 year National Lottery grant for continued sustainability of our services, has made us more financially resilient and also enabled us to recruit an additional member of staff to support with fundraising. A requirement of this fundin8 IS the need to track and report impact, and improve monitoring and evaluation of our work. Future investment will be required in developing effective data systems, skills and new technology for our long-term strategy and grovrth. Our current board of trustees consists of six members, two of whom are newly appointed. Two other members resigned during the year, and we extend our thanks for their contribution during their term. We plan to recruit further trustees with skills in finance, fundraising and marketing, and a young person to represent the views of youn8 service Users. During the year the board has focussed on ensuring the charity adhere5 to principles of good overnance with the establishment of a governance committee, a review of policies, and a review of our constitution, v31ues and mission and branding, the latter to raise greater awareness of what we do. A finance and risk committee now produces regular cash flow Statements, a robust budget report, reviews the risk register and tracks grants and income. Ongoing grants and funding is still very much required to enable us to cover rising operational runnin8 Costs. We wish to thank 311 our supporters. patrons. corporate partners, grant funders and 311 the local businesses and individual donors and f undraisers without whose sUPPOrt we could not deliver our amazing range of services to our local community and neighbourhoods.
