Young and Sweet strive to deliver good quality youth work to young
people in Ha1￿histle and the surrounding area. The majority of our
work is delivered through infomal education in group fomiat. However
the stsff also support young people on a one-to-one basis at the youth
club and through both local schools.
Regular weekly sessions are planned in advance and include
activities which are centred around the young people's needs that are
accessing the project. We aim to facilitate learning that will impact on
the young people's daily lives and future development. We are an
inclusive service which means all young people between 9-19years
can access the project. We also work with local schools and parents
to ensure that the young people are getting support for individual
needs.
There have been roughly 130 young people access the service within
the financial period, and took part in day trips to Blackpool, Ice
skating, BBQ'S, Cinema, Pool parties, canoeing, raft building and
team building, and a leisure centre take over day for Easter activities.
We have also provided 3 residential visits where young people got to
take part in outdoor aclivities. Young people have organised
Halloween discos and a coffee morning to raise funds for their youth
club. Young and Sweet organised a 2nd hand toy collection and give
away to help local people at Christmas I'me.

Unforlunately, we experienced a flood in December 2023 which
meant we were left without a building. However, we were able to
continue delivering youlh work by using alternative local venues. We
are very grateful for the support we received from the local community

2023-24 Attendance Data Summary
Overall
Youth was accessed by 131 young people over Ihe 2023-2024 period. Of those young people, 68 were male
and 63 female, with no children identrfying outside of these calegories. On average, a child that accesses
the club attends 31Qkn of the time, dropping to 230/ts for males, but reaching 340/0 for females. Across most
age groups we see a drop in the summer and an impact from half term holidays.
It should be noted that, whilst completing this analysis, I came lo the conclusion that the currenl system
used for ￿giSterS and their analysis is no longer fit fof purpose, retaining many features designed to be
helpful during the post-covid 19 period that are no longer necessary and suffering from a general wear-and-
lear of being re-used by several users over a few years. l aim to create a far more comprehensive and
useful system for Ihe 2024-2025 year.
Year 6
Out of 32 attendees, Ihe group was split
between boys and girfs. Girls attended
regulady (around 36 /0 of the offered
than boys (150/0). Overall, young people
around 25°/g of the sessions run for
7 children altended the Easter session,
the Vue trip and 18 attended the Energy
on the trip lo Inflalaspace and 2 went to
Wood.
Excluding children that attended 5 or
fewer
sessions, we see that regular attenders
come to
sessions 36% of the time but individual genders change to 28% male attendance and 40% female.
The Girls, Group attendance ranged from 4 gids lo 1 girl from Year S attending. Vthen these sessions and
the additional lrips are excluded, overall attendance reaches 47Q/o (28% boys. 57Qh girls) for regular
sessions.

Taking the above conditions into account. attendan￿ is highest over the first few sessions but drops
dramatically around each half term break; each time, the numbers never quite recover.
Moving fO￿ard, I will set the register lo track dates rather Ihan session numbers and will have it summatise
8ttendance each half lerm. Additional groups, such as the Glrls, Group or Independent Skllls Group will be
tracked separately.
Year 6
Out of 34 attendees, Ihe group was made up of 15
boys and 19 girfs. Girls attended more regularly
(around 330A of the offered sessions) than boys
(27 % ). Overall, young people attended atound 40 %
of the sessions run for them.
7 children attended the Easler session, 9 attended
the Vue trip and 19 attended the Energy trip; 6 young
people attended the film session., 14 went on the trip
to Inflataspace and 14 went to Dukeshouse Wood.
Excluding children that attended 5 or fewef sessions,
we see that regular attenders come to sessions 45L>/o
of the time and individual genders change to 29'h
male attendance and 39Vo female.
The Girls, Group attendance ranged from 14 girls lo O girfs from Year 6 attending. When thes8 sessions and
the additional trips are excluded, overall attendance drops to 440/0 (28 % boys, 36Vo girfs) for regular
sessions.
We see similar troughs in attendance as we do in Year 5 around school holiday times. We also see numbers
trail off in the summer, presumably as a ￿sU¢l of nlcer wealher. the swimming pool being open an(J the

Moving forward, I will set the register to Irack dates rather than session numbers and will have it surnmarise
attendanee each half term. Additional groups, such as the Girls, Group or Independent Skills Group will be
tracked separately,
