Annual Report April 2022 - March 2023

Mission Statement To provide young people in County Durham with support, guidance, and positive activities, to help them to reach their potential and become valued members of the community.

Foreword

Over the past 12 months, Durham City Youth Project (DCYP) has continued to grow and develop as a charity.

Generous donations by several grant-awarding organisations and charities have enabled DCYP to order a Youth Bus. This will be used to support the sexual health project, on behalf of Durham County Council, and further enhance our outreach programme. Our youth clubs continue to thrive, and a number of satellite youth groups have opened. Activities offered included arts and crafts, music, cooking and sport, in addition, various offsite activities have taken place including expeditions, paddle boarding and sailing. Links with local universities have been maintained with students assisting staff in delivering youth work.

Our commitment to supporting young people’s mental health continues with counselling being provided in a number of local secondary schools.

Trustees, in conjunction with the Charity’s management team, have undertaken a

rationalisation and restructuring of staffing. This, and an increasingly secure financial foundation, will enable DCYP to further develop the provision ‘to advance in life and help young people living in County Durham.

Young people who DCYP have worked with:

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 young people, outlined in more detail below, across County Durham.

We joined in with Sacriston Youth and Community Project to attend this year’s Essex Adventure. This is a yearly celebration hosted by the Durham Association of Boys and Girls Clubs across the UK. Young people loved meeting lots of different groups and joining in adventurous activities.

The activities included high ropes, canoeing, tunnelling, and the much-loved banana boat. This was a fun residential where young people were encouraged to try new things and challenge their boundaries building self-worth and aspirations.

10 young people were lucky enough to go on a sailing trip with Ocean Youth Trust North. Young people were away at sea for five days learning a range of skills while working as a team in all aspects of a sailboat crew. This activity requires focus and hard work. It is both mentally and physically challenging and young people learn sea, sailing and survival skills. By mid-week, the young people had bonded and were working well as a team, cooking, cleaning, and sailing the boat. The crew were lucky enough to have a family dolphins swim and play alongside the boat this was certainly a moment to remember! Being away from home and learning new skills builds confidence and independence. We cannot wait until next time!

This initiative, funded by the Arts Council, allowed young people to work with professional artists helping them to develop their creativity and confidence. It was delivered in partnership with Just Jam International and saw top break dancers and percussionists running workshops in County Durham. These were aimed at children and young people who would not normally engage in arts activities. As part of the project young people attended the ‘Mean Teens’ event at the Customs House in South Shields, to be inspired by local talent, as well as take part in some friendly jamming. Getting a real taste of local and national Hip Hop culture the young people put on a showcase at Framwellgate Community Centre as part of the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations.

This year we have delivered youth clubs for juniors and seniors in Framwellgate Moor, Wheatley Hill and Langley Park.

Framwellgate Youth Club enjoyed fun-packed trips to Weardale Outdoor Activity Centre and Seaburn Marina to enjoy some sailing and ice cream. Young people participated in a fantastic animation project, creating a short film which has been used to support other young people with issues of confidence and self-esteem. Six young people passed a Sports Leaders Course and are now qualified to deliver sports-based activities.

Young people have been cooking healthy meals all year and getting involved with lots of fun interactive sports and games-based activities. Framwellgate juniors worked closely with Feeding Families to look at budgeting, and several sports coaches have delivered interactive activities. Archery and table tennis and even curling have been enjoyed.

At Wheatley Hill, we have a fantastic link with the Greenhills Centre. Attendance has risen significantly and we have delivered a huge variety of activities. We have access to an outdoor sports facility and young people have also been able to access the centre gym after completing inductions. This space allows us to offer so many things such as badminton, indoor football, dance, music, archery, table tennis, dodge ball and a great range of crafts such as mosaics and glass painting. Young people are always able to enjoy fresh fruit and have a huge say in what activities they would like to do.

“I very much enjoy youth club and seeing my friends and playing all the fun games...The leaders are always kind and there's always lots of good snacks ” Elliott

“I enjoy going there it is a lot of fun, playing games such as art and crafts having food and doing sports with my friends. The leaders are kind and friendly”

Langley Park Youth Club, was originally delivered at the local primary school where we utilised the outdoor space for sports, attracting large numbers of both juniors and seniors. Inside we offered healthy food and a variety of activities such as dance, arts, and crafts. Our base moved to the local Miners Institute. Young people enjoyed the use of the kitchen and cooking facilities, and the space provided a setting that was used for informal conversation, craft activities and a place for young people to meet. As the end of this year approached, we started to deliver outdoor activities, with the support of local councillors. Taking place on a local grassed area young people enjoyed healthy activities and sports, as well as lots of arts-based things…this move has been successful and welcomed by lots of parents and local people.

In all our youth clubs’ young people are at the forefront of planning and encouraged to talk about the things they would like to do. Informal education is essential, and we can deliver this in a fun, well-supported way.

At the beginning of this year, our seniors at Framwellgate were invited to a celebration event at Collingwood College Durham University. Previously they had been working with university students on an art project which looked at identities and self-reflection. At the celebration event, their work was displayed and was a part of the colleges’ showcase evening.

The college invited us back to be involved in a further project, this time involving the junior youth club. Students visited for 6 weeks, offering some great art-based activities and forging positive bonds. It was inspirational to so many of them. The young people were then invited to a celebration evening at the college but this time, after meeting the college Chancellor, they were asked to play a game of football with the university football team.

The young people loved this and it was fantastic for their confidence, a project and visit they will always remember. This coming year we expect a new cohort of students will be with us again!

All of our junior youth clubs took part in our hugely popular Stay and Play Summer project. Bringing children together was a great opportunity for the young people to make new friends from other places and forge bonds and friendships.

There was a huge variety of activities provided for young people including sports, science-based activities, tie-dye, badge making and plant pot art. There were also circus professionals teaching circus skills, magic, and riding unicycles. The highlight of the whole summer may have been when Northumbria Police brought in 2 of their amazing dogs to meet the young people and to talk about what the dogs do to help in the community as working police dogs.

Finally, it was lovely to see how some of our older young people offered up their time in the summer to help deliver the activities for the younger ones. They helped with registers, food preparation and games … some of these young people will go on to be valuable volunteers in their youth project.

The Young People's Mobile Sexual Health Service is delivered on behalf of Durham County Council. This is a modified vehicle providing one-to-ones for young people aged 13-19 years to access C-card (free condoms), advice and information. We also work with small groups providing Sexual Health and Relationship Education. The areas we visit are guided by the County Durham Teenage Pregnancy Steering Board and the latest data. We delivered 4 sessions a week in the areas of Peterlee, Seaham, Woodhouse Close, Houghall College, East Durham College and East Durham Technology College. We also delivered pop-up drop-ins at Langley Park, Seaham Youth Centre, Oxhill Youth Centre and The Ladder Centre.

“The LADDER Centre has worked alongside DCYP to access SHRE and C-card services. The young people really enjoy when the youth work staff come to visit and find the C-Card service very beneficial. They find the staff very approachable and really enjoy talking to the staff about what’s going on in their lives ”

Alex C, Youth Worker The Ladder Centre Ferryhill

We were invited to Durham Johnson Comprehensive School to deliver workshops on Internet Safety. Topics included Grooming, Sexting, The Law, Cyber Bullying and where to go for help. These workshops are fun and engaging and are always enjoyed by both staff and young people.

We have been fortunate enough to receive funding for our new youth bus from Children In Need, Ballinger Charitable Trust, Henry Smith, Clothworkers and Sir James Knott. This will allow small groups of young people and individuals to access Sexual Health and Relationship Education (SHRE), one-to-one advice and guidance, free condoms, and Chlamydia testing.

The bus has no windows for confidentiality, a toilet for testing and is packed with educational resources, leaflets, and sports equipment for young people to access. Being mobile removes barriers and brings these fantastic resources to areas where young people already hang out.

Our mental health support continues to provide free counselling to 13 – 18-year-olds living in County Durham.

This gives young people the chance who experience mental health difficulties a chance to talk in a safe space without the need to join waiting lists for statutory services. This has proven very popular and has continued to be funded by the Coalfields Regeneration Trust and Durham Area Action Partnership (AAP). This year we have worked with 30 young people and delivered 164 counselling sessions. These took take place in local schools, Framwellgate Moor Secondary, Durham Johnston, St Bedes Lanchester and Seaham High School as well as at Willow Burn Hospice and Framwellgate Moor Community Centre.

Young people’s comments regarding the counselling service.

“Overall, I had a great experience and found that it helped a lot.”

“It was a very good experience for me and it has helped me through a lot of stuff.”

“I feel like it really helped me get things off my chest without fear of judgment.”
