achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The Young Women’s Film Academy is a
charity based in Newcastle upon Tyne. In the
past 5 years to 2021, child poverty in the
North East has risen by almost one half, from
26% to 38% to now have the highest rate
within the UK. With Newcastle Central ward
as high as 47.8%. Our beneficiaries are living
in increasingly challenging circumstances,
and through providing free opportunities to
explore creativity and filmmaking in the city
centre, outside of formal education, we
support disadvantaged young women to
develop their potential and create pathways
to advance their creative careers.
We ensure that the young women we work
with are supported and developed by
professional creative practitioners and skilled
youth workers with safeguarding
qualifications and competency in therapeutic
approaches, who can foster a trusting, safe,
supportive environment.
Our approach is underpinned by evidence
demonstrating that when we engage
authentically with vulnerable children and
young people, their ‘narrative’ or ‘their story’
can be a pivotal way in which they can safely
explore their life, their personal challenges
and reframe their future.
We enable young women to come together
to share their lived experiences, finding| commonality and connections. They are supported to explore their creativity in a safe environment, considerate of the emotional needs of the participants, ensuring their wellbeing is of primary importance. The opportunities to learn industry standard practice at the Young Women's Film Academy create new pathways into the film industry for disadvantaged young women of the North-East and help to address the gender and socio-economic inequalities that exist in the industry. The Young Women’s Film Academy also undertakes film commissions for the charitable and statutory sector that aim to raise awareness of issues affecting girls and women whilst also providing employment opportunities. **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against Para 1.41 objectives set Performance of fundraising activities against objectives Para 1.41 set Investment performance Para 1.41 against objectives Other ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |||| |Review of the charity’s
