DCYP was oble to souro spectfic funding to adapt practices and youth sessions. Funding was sourced for PPE, laptops, iPad5 and membership to an online monitoring and evaluation system. This allowed the organisation to reduce paper contamination and reduce the need for workers to go into the office but to continue to work safely outdoors. The organisation also received fundin8 to deliver craft. baking packs, and emergency food parcels to struggling families in the local community- The trustees and management agreed to use the Government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ICJRS l Furlou8h khemel as some workers who usually worked indoors running youth clubs were unable to work due to Covid-19 restrictions. Funders allowed DCYP to pause the funding which had been awarded so when youth service5 could be continued, funding would remain available. When restrictions lifted, the or8anisation contlnued to be considered for the commission with the local authority and was able to access further fundln8 to sustain work. The organisation has operated within its means during the pandemic ensurlng fund and bank balances remaln healthy, and there is no reason to place any doubt on the organisation as a goln8 concern.

From supporting families during the Covid pandemic and setting up satellite youth groups across County Durham to initiating the Durham Healthy Minds project. We continue to provide new challenging activities for those young people who attend existing youth clubs and provide Sexual Health services on behalf of Durham County Council. Links with Durham and Sunderland universities have enabled students to become involved with our work and develop their skills in youth work. The introduction of a new database within the charity ‘Upshot’, monitors and evaluates our work with young people, and now provides invaluable data on the effectiveness of our services. The DCYP trustees are grateful for the work of our staff and volunteers, and the financial assistance provided by many different organisations, that have enabled the charity to provide support to young people, outlined in more detail below, across County Durham. ## Covid 2020-2021 During this difficult time the project continued to provide essential support to families and children to meet individual needs, we quickly adopted a more flexible way to deliver these much-needed services. In times of uncertainty, our team of detached youth workers continued to deliver their important services to reach young people. Services were adapted to meet national guidelines and innovative approaches were introduced. An online link was developed so that we could stay in touch with young people and families. Family Bingo sessions were soon set up and they were a fun way of maintaining contact, whilst also allowing experienced staff members to chat with the more vulnerable young people. It was evident from this contact that mental health issues increased due to the uncertainty of this time. Online gaming and informal fitness sessions were also provided for families living within County Durham. The project was also quick to set up weekly lunch pack deliveries to families in need and we also created craft packs with activities for young people to do whilst they were unable to attend school. We also delivered packs of baking ingredients so that families could enjoy baking and cooking together. At this time, it became clearer that more and more young people were struggling with mental health problems. We delivered a range of “Walk and Talk” sessions, which followed national guidelines and allowed us to provide an essential link with young people who were feeling isolated at this time. ## Mobile Sexual Health Service We have continued to deliver this essential service for local young people, which aims to achieve the national government strategy of reducing unwanted teenage pregnancies. We run this service on behalf of Durham County Council. Sexual Health, C Card and relationship education is delivered in workshops with young people as well as in a one-to-one setting, to young people aged 13 to 19 years. By utilising the skills and experiences of the staff team we have been able to deliver this service on an outreach basis, so making it much more readily available and accessible for young people. The areas and locations where we provide this service include East Durham College, Houghall College, Thornley and Wheatley Hill. In partnership with Groundworks, we also deliver this service to a large number of young people in the areas of Peterlee and Seaham. _“Recently our organisations have worked closer than ever before supporting one another’s delivery which can only increase and ensure the best outcomes for children and young people. DCYP’s delivery of sexual health & relationship sessions has enhanced young people's lives giving them the skills to make informed decisions. Their informal approach and highly skilled youth workers have built positive relationships allowing young people to feel reassured and comfortable to access services providing young people with appropriate information to make healthier choices around safer sex and risky behaviours.”_ Cliff Remmer, Youth Worker Groundwork North East and Cumbria _Workers delivered workshops at The Ladder Youth project around friendships and relationships. They covered topics such as: friendships, consent, and gender norms. The young people really enjoyed this project and requested to do something similar in the future,”_ Alex Carter, Youth Worker, Ladder Centre, Ferryhill. _“I didn’t think there was as many people who went through the same thing I did, this made me feel better about my bad experience.”_ Young person. ## Youth Work We have continued to run our popular Framwellgate Moor Juniors and Seniors Youth Clubs. Youth workers create a varied program of informal and educational activities from the needs and interests of young people and children attending the services. Young people have been involved in planning and enjoying a large variety of activities such as sports, crafts and healthy cooking. Children and staff developed their understanding of the needs and issues experienced by Young Carers as the organisation was recognised formally as being a “Young Carers Chartered Organisation”. We were successful in acquiring funding from Durham AAP to deliver some holiday Fun and Food activities, where young people were able to take part in a range of activities such as trampolining, forest play, graffiti art, York Maze Hallowscream, Laser Quest, roller skating, adventurous activities as well as an exciting week-long Sport and Craft play scheme for the younger members of the project. Children and young people also worked towards their Arts Awards by working with a professional artist, a DJ and a dancer as well as learning about the careers available to them in the arts industry. _“It inspired me to become better!”_ Young person _“Since this project, I’ve decided to go to dance classes”_ Young person The project also established a meaningful link with Durham University where some of its students delivered a weekly art project with young people. Through discussions and workshops, young people were able to form links with the students and so become more enthused and confident to consider and aspire to go to university themselves. To help to combat food poverty we have introduced healthy eating and cooking to our sessions, where we always ensure that there is always something to eat for the young people. With support from Durham and Mid Durham Area Action Partnership’s and local Councillors, we have established sessions for both juniors and seniors at projects in Sherburn Road Estate, Langley Park and Wheatley Hill. Although we only started in November 2021 the sessions are already very busy with children and young people wanting to be actively involved in activities. We are looking forward to these sessions developing and progressing and flourishing. What young people say about our Youth Clubs ## Youth Council The group continued to meet virtually during lock down and have been busy ever since. The Youth Council organised a reverse trick or treat, for children in the local community to pick up treat bags on Halloween. At the time going house to house was against Covid rules and they wanted to bring some happiness to children who had been isolated for so long. They also fundraised to send small gifts and cards to the elderly in local supported accommodation, and took part in consultations with NHS Sexual Health Services and a local university. Recently after meeting with a worker from ‘Moving On’ and learning about the issues young people face when moving into supported accommodation. They have been raising money to provide welcome pack home essentials for young people moving into supported housing. ## Training Although our Youth Team members are highly trained and experienced, we believe in lifelong learning, and all staff are encouraged to continue learning within the organisation. Staff have received training in, First Aid, Mental Health First Aid, Detached Youth Work Training, Young People and Gambling Awareness and Young Carers Awareness training. ## Links with Sunderland University and the workplace We have continued our positive links with Sunderland University, where we offer degree/master's students a placement for them to gain valuable experience while also helping to combat the national skills shortage. ## Young people and the charity ## Durham Healthy Minds We were fortunate enough to receive funding from County Durham Community Foundation for the Community Mental Health & Learning Disability Connector Grant to run a project called Durham Healthy Minds. This enabled us to offer Counselling, Peer Support and One-to-Ones all of which we were able to offer free for 13-18-year-olds who were experiencing difficulties with their mental health and wellbeing. We offer young people throughout County Durham the opportunity to explore feelings in a safe environment and help them develop ways of coping with them. We have worked with 30 young people since January 2022, and have had positive feedback from both young people, teachers, and parents. The areas in which young people have come from for these services include Stanley, Consett, Annfield Plain, Tanfield, Durham City, Bowburn, Framwellgate Moor, Spennymoor and Chester-le-Street. We are hoping to continue this crucial service and run it alongside our Youth Work permanently knowing how great the need is. We have also seen young people move on from being attendees at our youth club sessions to become either volunteers with us or even part-time paid members of staff. Home-grown young people can now have a path to a possible career in youth and community work. ## Monitoring and Evaluation This includes a total of 149 young people and children living in the areas of highest deprivation. We now use a monitoring and evaluation tool called ‘Upshot’. This accurately records the work we do with young people. We can now easily identify how many unique individuals we work with as well as how frequently they visit. It also uses timeline events showing an individual’s journey and learning with us helping us feedback more efficiently to our funders. This system has also reduced the use of paper helping the environment. We have successfully signed up 232 young people to the valuable C Card scheme, where they have accessed support, advice and information. This year the project has engaged with and actively supported 538 local young people. ## Looking to the Future Our future plan is to continue and develop our current Youth Work, Sexual Health Sessions and Mental Health Services to provide holistic support to young people living in County Durham. We are purchasing a purpose-built mobile bus to use in our Sexual Health outreach sessions. The bus will enable us to reach young people in areas where they hang out and provide a confidential space for one-to-ones, small group work, advice and information. This will assist us in the successful continuation of our Mobile Sexual Health contract with Durham County Council. We will provide a varied youth offer throughout the year to include: holiday and offsite activities, weekly sports, crafts, group work and workshops; that develop, inspire and challenge young people. We will build on partnerships with other local youth organisations, universities and statutory services to develop joint work for the benefit of young people. Our focus will also be on identifying and securing multi-year funding to provide security for our services and the ability to plan long-term and employ professionally qualified Youth Workers. ## Thank you to everyone who supports Durham City Youth Project Framwellgate Moor Youth and Community Association Framwellgate Moor Parish Council Wheatley Hill Parish Council Durham County Council Durham Area Action Partnership |
