Welcome from the Chair:

publicly funded project in conjuncZon with the Greater Manchester Violence ReducZon Unit, conZnued work with our local schools, a growth in our volunteer group and of course….a new Chair!

My name is Dr Rebecca Pa_erson and I’m absolutely thrilled to be taking the helm of our amazing charity at such a Zme of growth and development. My background is in educaZon, and I have been involved with young people in various contexts for over thirty-five years. This includes secng up a Theatre in EducaZon company in Manchester way back in the 1980s, to qualifying as a Drama and English teacher in the late 1990s. Moving into Higher EducaZon in 2005 has given me an opportunity to broaden and deepen my understanding of educaZon more generally and I hope to be able to use my experience to support the work of I4YPC.

Being the Chair of I4YPC is an absolute honour. The work that is being done on a daily basis is so important, as has been evidenced by the recorded outputs. The sheer variety of acZvity over the past year has been phenomenal and as we gear up for the producZon of ‘Innit Musical’ in September, the producZvity has been immense. We have reached an unprecedented number of young people through the various projects and through our social media presence. Feedback from both young people and their teachers and support workers has also been fantasZc.

A parZcular highlight over the past year for me has been the fundraising! We have taken our ‘feet to the street’ and been bucket collecZng in several local supermarkets, garnering the support of local people who are really invested in what I4YPC are delivering as a charity. I’ve been at many of these events, and I’m always blown away by the generosity of the general public and the stories they have to tell.

commissioned and funded project and was a resounding success! All the young people we worked with during the project became ‘happier in school’ and an increase in their posiZve behaviour was reported by their schools. This project was comprehensively evaluated for impact by our team and a summary of this project can be found in this report.

We enter the next year at full speed! Our long anZcipated ‘Innit ‘23’ programme is about to launch, which will see c. 1,200 of Salford’s young people a_end The Lowry Theatre, for free, to see our diversionary musical ‘Innit’! CasZng is well underway for the show as I type, and the wheels are being set in moZon for our young people to a_end.

This is going to be another fantasZc year and I’m looking forward to seeing how it transpires!

Dr. Rebecca Pa+erson - Chair

‘ ’ – InnitRightNow GMVRU Project

In January 2023, I4YPC were commissioned by the Greater Manchester Violence ReducAon Unit to work with a targeted group of secondary school pupils from years 8, 9 and 10, whom the schools idenAfied as being at risk of permanent exclusion.

The schools we worked with were New Park Academy (NPA) and Irlam and Cadishead Academy (ICA).

During the project, the script from ‘Innit Musical’ was uAlised as a vehicle of engagement.

The project totalled 34 hours, spanning across 14 sessions and culminated in the parAcipants creaAng a ‘Talking Heads’ style speech to camera.

The intended impact of the ‘InnitRightNow’ project were:

  1. ParAcipants will be aYending school more regularly, thus improving their mental wellbeing and aYainment.

  2. ParAcipants will have a conscious understanding of their responsibility to self and be able to make more informed choices.

  3. ParAcipants will understand how their choices and behaviours impact on others and society, thus improving their sense of community and responsibility.

A+endance and wellbeing

The aYendance of the parAcipants at both schools improved.

The aYendance of the 7 parAcipants from ICA averaged at 88% in the Autumn term 2022, 88% in January 2023 and increased to 89% in February 2023.

The average Autumn 2022 aYendance for the 4 NPA parAcipants was 87%, increasing to 94% in January 2023 and 93% in February 2023.

Although the average remained staAc at ICA, one year 8 child had a 4% increase in his aYendance from the Autumn term to February 2023 and one year 10 child explained that he was absent from school for a full week and only aYended school for I4YPC’s session.

Impact: 90% of the parAcipants reported that they enjoyed being in school more since the ‘InnitRightNow’ project, thus impacAng posiAvely on their mental wellbeing.

ReducCon in negaCve behaviour points

The average number of ‘negative behaviour points’ per participant reduced over the duration of the project.

The average number of negative behaviour points across the 7 participants from ICA in the Autumn term was 127 as opposed to an average of 25, post project. The average number of negative behaviour points across the 4 NPA participants in the Autumn term was 11 as opposed to an average of 4, post project.

Impact: 50% of the participants who completed the feedback forms reported that they are now able to make better choices about their behaviour as opposed to 0% at the start of the project. Participants have reported receiving positive behaviour rewards such as postcards home which made them feel ‘happy’.

Reduction in hours spent in isolation/internal seclusion rooms

Children are spending less time in isolation and more time in lessons.

In the Autumn term the ICA participants spent an average of 120 hours in the school’s ‘Room for Improvement’ unit. This reduced to an average of 44 hours by the end of the project. NPA do not have an equivalent resource to compare against.

Impact: 80% of the participant who completed the final feedback form reported that they feel ‘happier’ in school since starting the project as opposed to 20% at the start of the project.

One child in particular had ‘never smiled’ according to staff, and this was noted in week 2 by I4YPC, in our reflections. This child has now been smiling and has gone from not feeling happy at all in school to feeling happy, according to his feedback.

Increased awareness of responsibility to self and others

The participants have a more conscious understanding of their responsibility to self and to others.

At the start of the project, 50% of the participants reported that they enjoyed working as part of a team and 60% felt that they were a good member of a team. Post-project, 100% stated that they enjoyed working as part of a team and 70% felt that they had been a good member of the ‘InnitRightNow’ team.

Impact: there has been a huge shift in the pupils’ awareness of their responsibility to self and others throughout the project. Children who struggled to sit in the same room as each other at the start of the project are now able to work together and help each other out.

“ After the project, I really take notice of what I do, and I get my head down. I’ve never really connected with R (younger brother and another ‘InnitRightNow’ participant). I’m really good in lessons now and I’m really good with R. He has his ups and downs but I’m ” always there now to help him and support him and do stuff that he needs.

As well as the posiAve data, the ‘InnitRightNow’ project came in on budget and was comprehensively evaluated for GMVRU.

WORK IN SCHOOLS:

Coop Academy Swinton

In November 2022, I4YPC were commissioned to work with 10 targeted, male pupils from Year 10, who were idenAfied as at risk of school exclusion and were spending a lot of Ame in the school’s seclusion unit.

IniAally we spent an hour with the pupils and Micky shared his story with them and took any quesAons.

The session was very successful, and the Head of Year reported ader the session that the boys were geeng into ‘less trouble’ around school.

The school has since commissioned I4YPC to conAnue the work with the same cohort of boys and in April 2023, we started a 9-hour project spanning 6 weeks and focusing on reducing negaAve behaviour paYerns, increasing their sense of responsibility to self and others and their teamwork/cooperaAon skills.

This is yet to be completed and evaluated.

St Ambrose Barlow

In January 2023 I4YPC was commissioned to work with 30 students (10 female, 20 male) who were on the cusp of exclusion and displaying negaAve behaviour paYerns in school.

We ran 3, one-hour sessions in which Micky shared his story and took quesAons from the pupils. The sessions grew in popularity and by the end of the 3-hour session we had seen over 60 pupils, some of which aYended the speech twice.

One Year 8 child in parAcular, who had already spent 3 months in a secure unit was very moved by the session and asked his key worker to make sure he could see the show in September 2023.

in to run a project, however, due to lack of funding in school, this could not go ahead.

EMPLOYABILITY

– UTC MediaCity Games Design

In September 2022, I4YPC launched a Games Design live brief, for 20 Year 13 students at UTC MediaCity.

Not only did the students gain valuable new skills during this live brief, they also had the opportunity to ‘pitch’ their ideas at the start of the project, mid-way through and at the end, which increased their confidence and communicaAon skills. One student said of this opportunity:

“Pitching has been very useful as I learned how to speak highly of my work and adapt it based on the wishes of the client. Pitching has built my confidence and presentaHon skills.”

– Salford City College Pendleton School of Theatre

As part of the year 13 InducAon programme, Pendleton College BTEC AcAng students performed several scenes from ‘Innit’, culminaAng in a performance evening for the public.

the year 12 Film and TV students at Future Skills college, recording tesAmonials for the I4YPC website.

2 Pendleton College students also had the opportunity to work with I4YPC on an animaAon voice-over project, receiving 2 full day acAng workshops and a full day in a recording studio.

– The Manchester College AnimaCon

I4YPC worked with Year 13 AnimaAon students who created 30 second character animaAons for the charity website. This live brief was based around monologues from the characters of ‘Ashley’ and ‘Stacey’ and one brief ‘cliff-hanger’ was led open for the students to use their imaginaAons with!

- The Manchester College Graphic Design

Running concurrently with the AnimaAon live brief was a Graphic Design brief to create a poster and social media assets for our online compeAAon ‘SnackYourTown’.

The year 13 students produced some amazing work and here are some examples:

– LIPA Set Design

This year we were able to offer a fantasAc opportunity to a 3[rd] year under-graduate from Liverpool InsAtute for Performing Arts (LIPA).

At the start of the 2022/2023 academic year, we launched a live brief to 30 students, offering the opportunity to design the set and costumes for the September 2023 run of ‘Innit’, at The Lowry Theatre.

A client brief is part of the Theatre and Performance Design course, which is assessed and accredited towards the student’s final grade.

Tallulah Caskey was assigned by her tutor, Ashley Shairp to the brief and has been working alongside I4YPC since September 2022 to realise the set and costume design for the show, culminaAng in a final design meeAng in April 2023.

The design process has been exciAng, challenging and sparked some really interesAng and creaAve conversaAons. Here are some images of the set design from all stages of the design process:

– MMU Drama PGCE

In January 2023, I4YPC aYended Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) and worked with 15 Drama PGCE students, delivering the scheme of learning for ‘The Gang’.

The 15 students will be taking the scheme of learning into their Block B schools and inspiring Year 9 and 10 pupils with the material.

FUNDRAISING

During this reporAng year, I4YPC have started to acAvely fundraise in local supermarkets.

Since August 2022 we have fundraised in Asda Swinton, Morrisons Swinton, Morrisons Eccles, Tesco Walkden and Tesco Salford for a total of 23 days raising over £3,000

Swinton and will be drawing a winner at the end of May 2023.

I4YPC is a member organisaAon of The Fundraising Regulator, and we always strive to give our donors a full understanding of our objecAves and charitable acAviAes.

Other ways we fundraise are through online plaoorms such as Donr (text giving), Donorbox (regular giving), Facebook (digital giving) and EasyFundraising (digital giving).

VOLUNTEERING

As well as our trustees, I4YPC are gaining acAve volunteers. All our volunteers go through a rigorous applicaAon process and undergo an enhanced DBS check.

with the casAng days at The Lowry and help us to run the ‘Innit CreaAve Hub’.

2 of these volunteers are young people from local colleges who are looking to further their careers in the Arts world!

As well as volunteers, we have also had local people donate art equipment for the ‘Innit CreaAve Hub’, with one local person having donated a bike for a raffle prize.

We also have a regular group of local people who donate to the charity in supermarkets.

‘Seldom Heard’ - I4YPC, Salford CVS and DIY Theatre Company

In May 2022, we attended Salford CVS’ ‘Seldom Heard’ event, where we met a group of young people from DIY Theatre Company, a local theatre group for people with disabilities.

Their overarching issue was that, as learning disabled young people, they were overlooked by Salford City Council and other organisations and felt that access needs which would enable them to fully enjoy their daily lives, were not sufficiently met. This was especially true of the deaf community.

Over a period of 16 weeks, between October and February ’22, we jointly facilitated with DIY Theatre Company and a local young deaf interpreter, a series of workshops that culminated in those young people’s resources being incorporated into our programme.

During the project, DIY’s young people undertook a variety of tasks, including:

A young deaf interpreter was present at all our sessions and the filmed scenes were performed with sign language .

This is a very new approach to engaging with young people who have special educational needs and disabilities.

By the very nature of young SEND people being visible in these resources, other young people with SEND automatically feel included .

‘ ’ – SnapYourTown Coop academy Swinton EdiCon

Following on from the success of the online compeAAon and workshop ‘SnapYourTown’, CoOp Academy Swinton decided to run the scheme of learning in-house for their Year 11 Photography pupils as part of their BTEC Fine Art course.

This included a visit from I4YPC to launch ‘SnapYourTown’ with Micky sharing his inspiraAonal story with the young people, a trip around their home city of Salford to photograph the landscape, and several visits from I4YPC to see the pupils’ progress.

Most of the pupils had never been outside their own township of Swinton, let alone to MediaCity!

In Autumn 2022, 5 billboards across Greater Manchester were put up by our outdoor adverAsing partners 75Media, creaAng an amazing public exhibiAon of the young people’s work, followed by an in-house exhibiAon for parents and carers in November 2022.

All this work culminated in a surprise trip to MediaCity in January 2023!

The pupils were treated to an adernoon out, courtesy of I4YPC, Peel Holdings and The Holiday Inn.

Their work was displayed on huge digital billboards in MediaCity’s Piazza, they then had a backstage tour of the famous Dock10 studios and finished their visit by having pizza at The Holiday Inn and taking pizzas home for their families.

We’re delighted that all the pupils who partook in this project have made it through to the end of school and sat their GCSE’s, despite many of them having been on the cusp of exclusion

InspiraAonally, over half this class have now enrolled on Arts based courses at local colleges. Isn’t it amazing to make a difference?

‘Innit CreaCve Hub’

We’ve recently been in discussions with Peel Holdings and Salford Loading and in April 2023, we will be opening the ‘Innit CreaAve Hub’, a double unit in MediaCity’s Quayside shopping centre!

The plans for the space are already coming into fruiAon and we are already exhibiAng art work from local young people and community members.

paid arAsts! One young man has already sold 2 of the 5 pieces he has brought in and will be using his earnings to buy more art materials and develop his arAsAc skills.

Another young person aged 13 was encouraged to bring her art work in by her Aunty, who had already paid a visit to the hub. The young lady lacks in self-confidence and her Aunty menAoned that having the opportunity to display her work has already provided her with a much-needed boost!

The ‘Innit CreaAve Hub’ will be run primarily as a space for creaAve workshops such as:

Junk Shop

Young People’s Choir

Drama clubs

Music clubs

Dance/Movement

Yoga and meditaAon

And many, many more!

We have accumulated a waiAng list for the sessions as many members of the public have expressed a huge interest in the ‘Innit CreaAve Hub’.

We will be holding our casAng days for ‘Innit Musical’ and in the summer of 2023, will be running open rehearsals with the full cast in preparaAon for the performance at The Lowry theatre in September 2023.

‘SnackYourTown’

In keeping with tradiAon, we launched another online compeAAon and workshop - ‘SnackYourTown’ - in September 2022.

This was aimed at Design and Technology departments, along with alternaAve providers and youth centres. It focused on:

CreaAng a recipe for a healthy snack

This online project was sponsored by BUPA FoundaAon sent to all the schools in North West, East Midlands and Yorkshire, along with youth foundaAons, naAonal youth organisaAons and local youth clubs and associaAons.

The grand prize was the opportunity for the winning snack to be cooked in the Gather&Gather kitchen at BUPA Manchester and to be sold in all their outlets across the UK.

The second prize was a baking hamper donated by Asda Swinton and the third prize was a hamper donated by Morrisons Swinton.

Strategically, ‘SnackYourTown’ was a huge success, with over 550 schools using the project as a classroom resource.

teachers leaving the profession, we decided to relaunch the compeAAon element when schools are in a more stable posiAon.

‘Innit Musical’ as our Unique Selling Point

Through our work in schools, special schools, Pupil Referral Units and with young people in general, it is evident that the characters and plot of ‘Innit’ are sAll able to capture the imaginaAons of young people from all walks of life!

In our recent GMVRU project, all the young people commented on the power of ‘Innit’ and said:

“I’ve very enjoyed the project. I feel like I’ve been happy most days. Lessons have been dead boring, dead, I just feel like there’s no reason to be in school. But this project is, like, I’ll come in school for this. It’s dead good. I’m happy.” - T, 15

“This project has made me look at my behaviour, because of Ashley (the protagonist in ‘Innit Musical’) and how he was behaving and that he had a turnaround, that he could show people that he could sJll do it….he has a similar life to me, like how he’s been naughty, he’s been arrested, and the only thing is that turnaround that I’m going to be making.”- K, 13

All the young people we have worked with are very much looking forward to the show in September 2023 and are excited to see the characters they have become so fond of, come to life!

Our Founder and CEO, Micky Dacks, stood proudly in front of our banner for ‘Innit Musical’.

Finance

Unrestricted Funds - £52K

reserved for producing our Autumn ’23 producAon of ‘Innit Musical’ at The Lowry.

This is down to lots of hard work fundraising, bid wriAng, donaAons from philanthropists and the kindness of members of the public.

Annual Turnover - £74K

£74,835 - a giant leap from our previous financial year, which amounted to £9,059. We’re delighted to report such growth.

The Future

2023/24 is going to be our most exciAng year to date and we can’t wait to see what amazing creaAvity we bring out in young people, and what response we receive from ‘Innit Musical’ in September, when 1,200 young people from our home city will be transported to the theatre and will get the chance to experience the producAon and a whole wraparound provision, for free.

We very much look forward to meeAng hundreds, if not thousands more young people who will find our safe spaces to express themselves through the Arts and educaAon…
