The Women's Service at the Baytree Centre creates lasting change for women, their familles and the broader community, by equipping women with the skills, knowledge and networks they need to break the cycles of poverty and isolation and lead more fulfilled lives. Who we serve.. Our Women'5 Service grew by over 15% this year, with 472 women accesslng the broad range of service5 that make up our Social Mobility Pro8ramrne.

Cgnlth olQlqln cmilli￿ Iynarnlnyw How we do It: Building on our 30-year track record of working with women Ilving in poverty and isolation, we recognlse the life-transforming potential of an effective executive function. The executive function Is the brain's management 5yStem. including critical cognitive skills such as attentional control, working memory, reasoning and prL)blem-solving. Against a backdrop of trauma and other adverse life experiences and faced with barrlers lincluding low levels of language and education, poor mental and physical health, dlscrimination, and lack of employment and financial resources to name but a few), the executive functlon is often hindered, which can limit women's ability to make sound decisions. Our Soclal Mobility programme, developed on the basis of the Empath Model Icf. EMPath em athwa s.or engages women for sustained periods. aiming to Irelbuild their executive function. so that improvements to their immediate situatSons go hand in hand with bettering the longer term prospects of the women and their families.

For those mentees who receive online mentorinB and live in overcrowded accommodatlon, we have provlded them wlth the optlon to come to our centre, use one of our laptops, and have their session in a quiet and d15traction-free env5ronment. We conducted five Volunteer Inductlon & Mentorlng tralnlng sesslon5, both online and In.per50n, where we welcomed 37 new volunteers.

Their duties Included session fatilitation and some limited peer-to-peer mentoring. They received extensive traininB and weekly supervision. While the Peer Mentor5 were helpful in facilitating Junior Sparks and Sparkler5 sessions* peer mentorlng presented challenges in terms of safeguardlng and building rapport with the girls. So, It has been decided not to continue wlth the programme. We have developed a Parent Engagement programme that focuses on improving communicatlon and en8agement with parents/carers whose daughters are enrolled in the Youth Servlce. We carried out extenslve consultations to identlfy parentlng need5 and challenges. Based on our findin85, we have hired an external facilltator to coriduct a series of interattive workshops called Proparent.

We will also encourage mentee's mums to enga8e in the WS activities if we think they would benefit from them and maintain re8ular meetings with the mum's Social Mobility Coach. Additionally. we will use the feedback gatheredfrom the ProParent se55ions to develop new ways of en8a8ing and supporting mums whose daughters benefit from mentoring. 18 THE BAYfREE CENTRE (CIO 1175145) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2023 Youth Mentoring Case study In this case study, we explore the mentoring journey of Alla, 2 13-year-old residing In Brlxton, who with the guidance of her mentor, Ozo, overcame challenges and blossomed academically and personally through the Baytree program. Alia's family lived in the Brixton area but never heard about Baytree untll May 2022. They learned about the organisatlon through word of mouth and Sought support for their daughter. They thought Alia would particularly benefit from the Sparklers programme, because of the many signs of shyness and anxiety that She had shown in unfamillar social situations. Alia had also been dlagnosed wSth autlsm spectrum dSsorder andattentlon deficit hyperactivity disorder IADHDI and that added weight to her personal and academlcdevelopment. After attendin8 a couple of Sparklers sessions, Alia heard about the mentoring pro8rarnme and felt more incllned to engage with l-l support rather than 8fOUP activitie5 in that moment. Besldes, It was a great opportunity to improve her Engllsh comprehension, Mathematlcs, and communlcation skills. Alia'5 mentoring journey began on October 6th wlth the fSrst introductory session wlth her mentor, Ozo, who played a cruclal role In her academic development. An inStlal a55essment was conducted to evaluate Alla's level in Vocabulary, Math5, and Non-verbal reasonlng. While Anna overall performance was 'ln line with expectation,, Mathematlc5 posed a challenge. Seeing thi5, Ozo and Alla'5 mum decl(Jed that one of the maln goalswould be to Smprove her math skills and Improve her personal skills w5th a focus on reslllence to help reduce exam stress. Oio used g variety of online resources, Includlng Mathletlcs - a Maths platform to Improve A15a's mathematical8bilitles. Measurable PfO8res5 was evSdent as A113'5 confidence and competence In th15 subject improved notlceably. Additionally, efforts were maile to foster AlSa's reading ski115, wlth engaging dSscussions centered around books 1Ske 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. and 'Matllda. These Ilterary adventures contrlbuted toA's 8rowth as a student and reader. One of the main challenge5 In Alia and Ozo's mentoring journey was en838ernent. Although their first sesslon took place face-to-face at the Baytree Centre, the rest of their mentorlng se551on would be onllne. However,between tryin8 to maintain Alla's concentration and the poor WI-FI connertion, Ozo struggled to engage throughthe camera with Alia. To overcome this. Alia started connecting remotely frorn Baytree, where a quiet space, goodinternet connection and a laptop was provided. Additionallv, Ozo included online interactive garne5 in the 5esslons to malntaln Alla's engagement. These Included activltles Ilke Hangman, 8attleshlp and qulzzes. These engagin8 actlvities served a dual purpose.. thev made the sesslons enjoyable for Alla and helped build a 5tron8rapport and trust between mentor and mentee. The mentor's commitment to fostering a comfortable and supportive environment encouraged Alia to participate and en8a8e artlvely In the mentorlng process. The mentoring relatSonship went beyond acadernics, focusing on Alia's personal development. Tailored worksheets and discussSons were instrumental in shaplng Alla's qualities, such as resilience, fairness. self- control, and good ju(IBment. The hollstic approach adopted by the mentor ensured that Alia not only excelled academically but also grew as an individual. Thi5 approach aimed to nurture well-rounded, confident, and empowered mentee. Alla and Ozo had their last session on 13th July 2023, after a journey that lasted one academic year. After a yearof weekly mentoring sessions, Alia's famlly and Ozo saw progressively a more confident verslon of Alia, who now was able to ask que5tion5 when she didn't understand something and was more comfortable in social environment5. Alia found at Baytree a safe space in which to work on her academic and personal development with the l-l support of Ozo, and she now has the tools to apply to her everyday life. 19 THE BAYTREE CENTRE {CIO 11751451 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2023 REPORTOFTHE TRUSTEES BAYTREE'S VOLUNTEER SERVICE Volunteerlng remains a key component of Baytree'5 model of delivery. 2022-23 has been 3 year of remarkable achievements, thanks to the unwavering commitrnent of our volunteers.
