Vision 4 Youth
Annual Report 2021 - 2022
After last year’s Annual Report the easing of Covid restrictions meant that V4Y was able to recommence all our Clubs. This was welcomed by the young people of our parish and was a significant step to getting back to “normality.” At that point we had the Creative Club, Boxercise, Thursday Club and Friday Night Club.
Our first task was to find the right person to run the Monday Café, a new kind of support for local young people, based in the Darby Green area. We were very pleased to recruit Natasha who has taken on the Youth Café with great enthusiasm and care.
We had to acknowledge that unfortunately, despite their request for the Boxercise, the young people did not attend as we had hoped. A new idea was needed and our latest very recent initiative is the Sixth Form Club. We expect that this will meet a need for an older age group.
Sadly, David Jolly, our Financial Controller, felt it was time to step down after a number of years’ service to the charity. David provided indispensable help during the financial difficulties of the pandemic and complexities of the furlough scheme. We wish him well in his “retirement” from V4Y and thank him for his support.
We had to look for another trustee and I am very pleased to report that we have been fortunate enough to recruit three new trustees Claire, Helen and Liz who generously bring new skills, knowledge and experience to the Charity. I am especially pleased to be able to work with them in our faceto-face trustee meetings. Thank you to all our trustees who work unstintingly for V4Y.
Our increasing workload meant we were very pleased to promote Abby to Development Manager and recruit Megan as Administrator. Abby and Megan continue to work on a plethora of new initiatives, funding, opportunities and promotion. Abby has introduced us to Social Prescribing which helps to connect people to local community services and groups that can help to support mental and physical health. This is in liaison with Oakley Health Services. Thank you, Abby and Megan, for all your hard work.
Funding continues to be a major part of the admin team’s role; we have received funding from our regular supporters: St Peter’s Church, the Town Council and Hart District Council. Three Jubilee grants meant that we were able to support the Parish's Platinum Jubilee celebrations with
creative activities and a presence at two local events, raising the charity's profile and having a good time! We have also received money from Garfield Weston Foundation, UK Youth and Hampshire & Isle of Wight Community Foundation (HIWCF).
Training got off to a brilliant start with Clare leading the Team Leaders and volunteers in a “New Start” event in September 2021. We looked at the charity’s values, roles, what we do well and what we can do better. A very valuable opportunity to get together and team build, thank you Clare. Training for staff and volunteers continues to be an on going focus. As a result of our New Start event, regular Staff Team meetings have been started.
Detached continue to their dedicated work with the Community Safety Team and local PCSO’s to reduce anti-social behaviour around the parish. Increasing liaison with the police has shown results in improving behaviour of the young people out in the community. We are in the process of recruiting a new member of the Detached Team, as Helen moves on to a new opportunity. Fortunately, we are not losing touch with Helen as she is continuing with V4Y clubs.
Another positive innovation has been achieved with the help of our local Co-op store who provide food to the charity thus avoiding food waste and feeding very hungry young people. I see this as a powerful incentive for young people to come into the Clubs.
Finally, a special thanks to our accountant Ellen Lefevre who faithfully works so hard for us to keep the staff paid, whose efforts kept us going through the difficult times of the pandemic.
