Youth Development Present

We have been allowed to run some groups and it is fantastic to have young people together again. We are currently running 9 bubbles of 15 members, we are delighted with the response as we did not know after being off for so long what impact that would have on our membership, it has also enabled the community to recognise the value of the service. We continue to work with both of our local schools and have recently organised a Halloween competition within the local community. We have continued to support young people accessing our service either on a one-to-one basis or by using media. The Service is focusing on specific areas such as anxiety, social isolation and other issues that are having a significant impact on young people well-being as a result of covid19.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the Moving forward public benefit in relation to It has become apparent that young people are struggling with lots these objects (include within of issues such as social anxiety, friendships issues, fitting back into this section the statutory the school structure and the uncertainty of their future.

Section D Achievements and performance

Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main Covid-19 has had a significant impact on our service delivery over the last year, achievements of the charity we have been closed for over 18 weeks. When we first closed, we put up 100 during the year activity packs which included activities that they could do at home such as Recipes for baking, building bug houses, positive mental health word search and quiz, brain teasers and our contact numbers so that young people felt they still had support. We carried out regular weekly facetime groups and phoned vulnerable young people twice per week (more if needed). As the weeks went by we got a feeling that the young people were starting to loose there enthusiasm, vitality and hope. This for us was very dis-hearting so we sent out a post card to all our members to remind them that we were thinking of them, that they were missed and that they are important. This was greatly received by the young people and their parents and was a reminder that there was still an ‘outside’ world that cared. Once some of the restrictions lifted, we were able to support young people on a 1 to 1 level, either in person at Hillside or on their doorstep. Although technology has been great in these circumstances, we cannot emphasise enough how important face to face working is when dealing with young people who need support. Young and Sweet recognises how invaluable partnership working is. We are grateful to the following organisations for their support: Tynedale Youth Forum Haltwhistle Wise Academies Village Hall Consortium Haltwhistle Swimming and Leisure Centre NE Youth Haltwhistle Partnership Haltwhistle Town Council Northumberland County Council-Youth Service

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves built up through the receipt of unplanned unrestricted income such as legacies, and through the achievement of accounting surpluses.
	The accumulation of unrestricted financial reserves will therefore
	be, in the main, opportunistic.
	The medium-term aim is to accumulate sufficient unrestricted
	financial reserves to meet 12 months of non-project related running
	costs. This figure is currently estimated to be in the region of
	£30,000 but will be reviewed annually.
Details of any funds materially
