LEVENSHULME YOUTH PROJECT Youth Forum Residentlal During the year, the LYP Youth Forum successfully advocated for, planned and delivered their first ever residential trip. This experience encouraged teamwork, leadershipi and personal growth from start to finish. The process began with young people shortlisting and selecting a suitable location, creating a budget, and planning meals and activities. This participatory approach gave the group real responsibility and allowed them to learn important life skills such as decision-making, negotiation, and financial planning. The residential itself was a powerful opportunity for self-discovery, with many participants pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones through outdoor challenges, group discussions, and shared responsibilities.

LEVENSHULME YOUTH PROJECT Emerglng Issues Whilst 2024-25 has been a p051tive year. the current social climate in the UK presents some challenges, reflecting those experSenced across the wider youth work sector. Youth Engagement: Increased academic pressures, impact of Covid, community safety concerns, and the cost-of-living crisis appear to be limiting young people's ability to regularly attend sessions. As such we are exploring more flexiblei youth-led approaches to maintain engagement. Funding Stabillty: Reliance on short-term grants makes long-term planning and retaining experienced youth workers more challenging. This has the potential to impact conslstency for young people. Complex Needs: Rising mental health challenges and antl~50cial behaviour require more intensive, tailored interventions that stretch existing resources. Key Partnerships Our solution to ongoing challenges is to build stronger and more effective strategic partnerships and remain agile and flexible. These steps will help to addres5 the key challenges facing young people, especially those identified through wider consultation and through the development of new 5eNices and opportunities. Collaborating with partners will ensure that LYP can better meet the diverse and evolving needs of the young people with whom the project works. LYP is proud to have worked in partnership with the following organisations during the year: A6 Partnership Last year was the seventh year of The A6 Partnership, the partnership comprising M13 Youth Project, as lead partner, LYP and Anson Cabin Project. which has again delivered play and youth work with Manchester City Council funding throughout the year. M13 and Anson Cabin are well established in their respective communities and have a long history. LYP trustees and staff h8ve valued the support and advice they have been given and have sought to embed systems and proces5 which mirror these successful projects and are proud to work alongside them. The strength of the partnership is clear to see in terms of the quality of the work delivered to children and young people but also in terms of the working relation5hip5 between the staff. The partnership has worked with approximately 550 children and young people. Arcadla LYP continues to be a key player in helping to resolve 'anti-social' behaviour issues at Arcadia. LYP'S input. working in partnership with Arcadia and Manchester Libraries, h3s involved delivering a programme of detached work to help improve relationships with Arcadia staff and young people. LYP staff have also engaged local PCSOS and ASBAT team In thelr thinklng. Levenshulme Insplre Centre LYP is pleased to work alongside Inspire and both organlsations are aiming to work to8eiher more in the future. Discussions have taken place regarding future opportunities and joint funding bids. 42nd street LYP continue5 to strengthen its mental health and wellbeing work with 42nd Street, co-designing sessions and support with young people. This collaboration has led to a substantial joint funding bid, aiming to secure long-term resources ènd provide consistent, meaningful support that improves confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
LEVENSHULME YOUTH PROJECT Local Venues LYP runs its activities from various community buildings around Levenshulme, including Arcadia Library and Leisure, Levenshulme Inspire and Northmoor Community Centre. LYP has developed good. lone-term relationships with the organisations and people operating these venues and they are all supportive of the work LYP does for young people in the communitv. Staff Team The real strength of LYP is its team a group of skilled, passionate youth workers who genuinely care about young people. They excel at building real, trustlng relationships, and everything they do is built from this relational bas15. The team mixes 'know-how 'with creativity, always finding new and exciting ways to create projects that actually matter to young people. They really listen and understand the challenges young people face and they use that understandin8 to create spaces where everyone feels safe, listened to, and valued. The trustees acknowledge the vltal contribution the staff make to the Success of LYP. Flnancial review Total income for the period was £67,924 and total expenditure was £82,003 leaving a deficit of £14,079 12024 surplus of £22,570). Reserves at the end of the period were £37,233 of which £5,831 were restricted reserves. InvÈstment power5 and policy The tyustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, will seek to keep excess available funds in an intere5t-bearing deposit account, when reserves permit. Reserves pollcy and golng concern The balance held in unrestricted re5erve5 at 31, March 2025 was £31,402 all of which are free reserves after allowing for fixed assets. The trustees aim to establish free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level that equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level would provide sufficient funds to respond to gaps in funding and ensure that support and governance costs are covered. The Charity's main source of income Is grants. The Trustees consider that it is appropriale to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and, consequently, the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease. Risk management The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity Is exposed and systems have been e5tabli5hed to mitigate those risks. Plans for Future Perlods At the end of the year LYP was awarded a two~year National Lottery Reaching Communities grant of just under E20.0(X) (for work in 2025-26 and 2026-271. This funding will enhance and expand LYP'S mental health provision, allowing it to reach young people it had not previously engaged with. This funding will be transformational, enabling LYP to offer crealive, responsive, and youth-led activities that open up conversatlons around mental health. LYP will use music-makin& games, and structured discussion5 to create Safe spaces where young people can share their experiences, expres5 themselves, and reflect on their wellbeing. Crucially, the funding will give LYP the flexibility to respond to emerging needs a5 they arise, ensurlng young people receive timely support. This approach will strengthen trust, improve engagement, and empower youn8 people to develop their own strategies for maintaining positive mental health.
LEVEN5HULME YOUTH PROJEcr LYP wlll contSnue to seek and attract funding to be able to grow the team and enable it to be in the best position to respond to the needs of children and young people in the community. LYP hopes to reach even more children and young people through its work, whilst remaininE focused on engaging and consulting with them on all aspects of tts delivery and designing programmes in partnership with them. The trustees belleve this approach allows children and young people to build their capacity and develop Skills for life, learning and work 50 that they can meet any future challenge5 they may face. LYP will contlnue to develop and maintain effective strateglc partnerships that will help it meet the needs of the children and young people it works Wlth. LYP is committed to engaging and consulting young people on all aspects of Its youth work.

Using funding from Young Manchester, the LYP trustees and manager, along with the trustees and managers of the other A6 Partnership organisations, aim to continue, over the next 12 month5, to build on the infrastructure review that took place in 2024.
