Basingstoke & District Young Carers are a registered Charity Incorporated Organisation (CIO 1182014).

Our Background

OUR VISION

Founded as a project in 2009, later formed as a Charity in February 2019. Basingstoke & District Young Carers aims to better identify and provide support for young carers and their families to develop emotionally and physically, as well as being able to take full advantage of opportunities for educational achievement.

OUR MISSION

To preserve and protect the health and welfare of young carers and their families by establishing, developing and maintaining a support, information and advice service that relieves the needs of young carers, caring for a family member who has a long-term illness, disability or addiction to alcohol and/or drugs.

WHAT WE DO

Respite Activities

Basingstoke & District Young Carers provides the facility for young carers to take a break from their caring responsibilities. We currently run our sessions bi weekly on a Thursday in Winklebury at the following times:

(School Year: 4,5,6) 4:30pm to 6pm (Years 7,8,9) 6:30pm to 8:30pm Wednesdays weekly (Years 10, 11 & college) 5:30pm to 6:30pm

Throughout the year we organise residentials, day trips or over night trips to provide young carers with that additional break from their caring responsibilities. We work with various organisations to ensure these breaks can take place and that the family have the right support in place to allow their child(ren) to attend.

Family Support

Our approach is whole family thinking. We need to ensure that the whole family are getting the support they need. Once a referral has been received, we will offer a home visit or

a phone support session to establish what level of support the family are receiving. Once this is established, we will agree an action plan together to ensure that all support options have been considered and implemented.

We are there to not only support the young person undertaking the caring role, but to also support the adults in the family including extended family to ensure the family unit have everything in place that they need.

CHAIRMAN’S report

Miranda Smith Chair of Trustees

“Having got BDYC off the ground as an independent charity the pandemic followed and had a huge effect on the way that the services were delivered.

We lost staff due to lack of funding for these important people, so we have to pay tribute to the volunteers, trustees and the one remaining member of staff for stepping up to keep sessions and family support running via whatever means possible, this also included all the administration and financial wizardry necessary.

Numbers of referrals continue to rise and now just two staff continue to cope with whatever comes their way, again with the very valuable support of the volunteers.”

April 2020 - March 2021 treasurers report

Trustee’s Annual report for the period from 1st April 2020 - 31st March 2021

Basingstoke & District Young Carers

The financial year 2021 (1st April 2020 to 30th March 2021) and accounts are recognised on an accrual’s basis. This financial year, BDYC made a total profit of £11,560, which is mainly due to an increase in funding (ca £18k) vs the prior year. This additional funding was mainly covid specific funding, (£10k) or specifically donated for a specific reason, I.e. laptop replacement for employees.

There is a large increase in staff costs vs last year, (£23k), however this is due to the swap of a key member of staff from a contractor to a full time employee.

We will continue to work on applying and bringing in funding due to the key lottery funding that we rely on, decreases over the next few years.

We have managed to be quite frugal through this financial year, and have made cut backs to costs where possible, which has left us in a much stronger financial position as we go into FY’22. We also have some funds that are for activities that haven’t yet taken place, which is why the bank balance is slightly higher than expected (ca £15k).

Chief Executive report

Ed Ives-Wara Chief Executive

April 2020 started with everyone being in a national lockdown, with schools closed and everyone required to work from home to stop the spread of the COVID-19 variant.

Basingstoke & District Young Carers (BDYC) had to adapt very quickly to the emerging requirement to provide youth services via virtual means. BDYC staff re-wrote the Exploration Programme which provides young carers with the opportunity to explore their caring role in more depth include resilience and wellbeing tools. We were able to run two cohorts during the lockdown and ensure that they still received the same level of support as they would, had the sessions taken place in person.

The weekly respite sessions moved to a virtual approach and both the exploration and respite sessions were led by staff in a fun and engaging way such as bingo, find and fetch an object, quizzes. Throughout the pandemic we saw a decline in numbers attending the sessions and this, we felt was due to the schools moving to an online approach. This meant the young people were getting ‘zoomed out’ as the saying was.

During the summer we had a shimmer of hope where restrictions were being lifted and following the national guidance provided by the National Youth Agency (NYA) we were able to hold sessions outside. Our numbers of attendance rose again with this and while the weather was good we were able to continue to deliver our programmes, albeit outside. This meant Cohort 2 of the Exploration programme were able to meet in person; we had some young carers join us virtually during these sessions as a hybrid model due to them having the isolate or not feeling comfortable in attending the sessions in person.

October 2020 saw the second wave of the virus having changed to a new delta variant, services again had to

move to an online virtual sessions. This didn’t last long as the NYA announced a different set of guidance for the youth sector and this allowed us to continue with bubbles and to put additional measures in place to ensure we were COVID safe. Our numbers still kept at a steady pace, however the referrals by October had doubled by 50% compared to the previous year.

We had to cancel our Gala evening in November 2020 due to the restrictions staying in place over the Christmas Holiday period and we continued to deliver our services in person following January to which the restrictions started to ease and our services resumed at a normal capacity with measures in place to ensure everyone was safe.

During the weeks leading to the Christmas period the Treasurer of BDYC was able to bring Richard onboard to fundraise for us from The Portsmouth Arms Pub. During this financial year our donations had been very minimal and with Richards passion for fundraising and the army of amazing donors on board Richard was set to raise just under £8,000 for BDYC. This much needed support raised BDYC profile as well as raising the profile for myself in which Richard and I were seen walking the streets of Basingstoke dressed up, with a final fundraiser. I was the one wearing the dress and wig with Richard in a modest Cricket Kit (with a dress I think?). BDYC thank Richard for his amazing efforts and for supporting the Children, Young People and Families of BDYC during what was a tough time.

During this year we were successful in receiving funding from The Four Lanes trust to develop and build a Mobile App which would serve as a go to point for our Young Carers and their Families. Users were able to check for updates, receive instant notifications, check calendars, and register their attendance to the various activities being planned for 2021 – 22. Following launch, the app has seen more than 100 downloads and with 78 users using the app regularly, has become a perfect tool for everything to be in one place.

These are just some of the highlights of the year, none of the above would be achievable without the dedication, support and values of the Trustees, Volunteers and Staff that are involved.

BDYC thank everyone for their support and are grateful to be part of Basingstoke providing this vital service to Young Carers and their Families. 2021 – 22 is looking really positive with some exciting activities planned and new initiatives being launched.

A very subdued year for days out activities and restricted fun with our respite clubs due to Covid rules and regulations.

Most of the year our respite clubs were on zoom, however we did have a few breaks when lock downs were relaxed where we could meet up with the Young Carers for an outdoor activity which included a couple of summer water fights and Easter activities with reduced numbers of children in specified bubbles.

We received a huge amount of donated Easter Eggs which were delivered to the Young Carers homes. Support was given to Young Carers needing extra emotional support through 1:1 sessions via zoom and in person when allowed. The Exploration Programme began in November 2020 but again due to continual changing Covid rules was taught virtually as well as in person.

We managed a virtual Christmas games night attended by families and funded ‘games night pamper hampers’ were also delivered to families with helping hands from trustees.

QUOTES FROM PARENTS AND YOUNG CARERS

“I have attended Young Carers since around the age of 12/13 and I looked forward to the respite group every week because I’ve met so many amazing people through Young Carers. I’m now nearly 21 and I volunteer at the respite group at Winklebury Youth Club, it’s so inspiring to create bonds with the children and just for them to know there is always someone they can talk to and that they are able to meet children in similar situations to themselves.

I can’t thank everyone at Young Carers enough for everything they’ve done for me and my family x”

“C has attended the exploration group and now attends the respite group every other week and he absolutely loves it. He really looks forward to going and is often the last one out because he’s having so much fun. Colette is such a great support to us as a whole family too, we’re very grateful to Young Carers, thank you x”
