Vision 4 Youth - Chair’s Report 2022-23
Hello all,
We have had a very busy year with several new initiatives with more in the pipeline!
Vision 4 Youth has continued to offer our three long standing clubs at the Tythings:
-
Tuesday nights - Creatve Club for 11 to 18 years old with a programme of creative activities run by Jacqui.
-
Thursday nights - Youth Club for 11 to 14 years old run by Jacqui and Sally.
-
Friday Night Youth Club for 11 to 18 – here the numbers regularly reach 100 young people per session, who can enjoy a safe social space with all the facilities of the Youth Suite plus free snacks and drinks. (That’s where I volunteer) This is run by Sally and Helen.
Our Darby Green Youth Café is going from strength to strength, it encourages a real friendship group, with the young people learning to support each other in a safe space. This is run for an 11 to 25 age range by Natasha.
This year we have started the Blue Sky Club for 11 – 18 years old which has the motto of “Youth Club but Calmer” for young neurodiverse people to enjoy the youth suite’s facilities with a smaller number of attendees with advance booking. This is proving very popular with young people - socializing in a way to suit them. Greg is leading this group as well as the # iwill Youth Forum for 11-18 years old- an opportunity for local young people to have their say about matters in the community.
This year, we recruited a Social Prescriber , Sophie. Social prescribing is a support service as an alternative to clinical medical treatment. Vision 4 Youth is the only organization offering this service for 11-18-year-olds in Hampshire.
Sophie connects people to community groups and services that meet their emotional and social aspirations. They take a holistic approach to people's health and well-being, giving people time and focusing on "what matters to me".
-
We offer the service for free, for people aged 11-18
-
We accept referrals from local schools, health practitioners, community groups, and parents (selfreferrals are also encouraged)
-
We offer 1:1 support for up to 6 weeks.
Our Detached Youth Workers Helen, Sally and Greg meet young people on the streets of Yateley and Darby Green every week, all year round. We run the detached youth work once a week in both locations. Now that the project has been running for nearly 6 years, we are able to identify trends much better and have learned where the local hotspots are. The Detached team have built up strong and purposeful relationships with the young people in our community. In addition, Detached have formed links with our police and local organisations to respond to requests to visit an area.
The newest development is HAF (Holiday Actvites & Food) support over the school holidays. We welcome Morgan and Jenna to the team and wish them success in this innovation for us. The HAF model is a national programme designed to support young people from low-income families who receive free school meals – our project specifically works with the age 11-16 group and we are the only provider in Yateley who is offering this. A HAF project includes a hot meal, an hour of physical activity and the chance to have a go at lots of different things whilst learning about healthy lifestyles.
I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks to everyone for their continued support and hard work to provide our local youth with a multitude of services and safe spaces to spend their leisure time. Thank you to our V4Y supporters: the Co-op and Sainsburys, Lefevres, St Peter’s and the Town Council and especial thanks to all the staff, trustees, and volunteers.
