A WELCOME FROM OUR CHAIR

“WHAT CAN I SAY? I’M KIRK AND I’M HONOURED TO HAVE BEEN APPOINTED BY THE TRUSTEES AS INTERIM CHAIR OF INNIT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, IN WHAT HAS BEEN A YEAR OF SELFREFLECTION FOR THE CHARITY.”

Kirk Allen, CHAIR

I first walked through doors of the Innit Creative Hub two years ago and was instantly struck by the atmosphere of the place, bustling with young people being creative and having opportunities to exhibit and sell their work through the gift shop and gallery.

Becoming a volunteer was second nature, as I’d been a lecturer within Further Education for much of my career, and as I was close to retiring, I revelled in the idea that I could continue utilising my skills and keep putting back into young people.

After a year or so of volunteering as a workshop facilitator and manual hand, I was honoured to be invited to apply to

be a trustee of the charity, knowing that I could contribute to its growth. As Chair, it’s been a privilege to reflect on the remarkable progress we’ve made in this financial year, and the exciting road that we’re travelling ahead.

The development of our new studio theatre marks a significant milestone in our journey, but its purpose reaches far beyond its fabric. This space will be a hub for creativity, inclusion and opportunity, especially for young people who may not otherwise access the Arts.

We’ve already witnessed the life-changing power of theatre through the success of Innit Musical at The Lowry in 2023, a project that proved how deeply the Arts can resonate with young audiences and communities.

A WELCOME FROM OUR CHAIR

Building on that momentum, we are now laying the foundations for something that will have much longer-term value. We’re building a professionally equipped, welcoming studio theatre where young people can find their voice, gain new skills and connect with like-minded peers and mentors.

Crucially, this progress has not happened in isolation. We’ve been fortunate to receive a multitude of strategic support from corporate partners who have played a vital role in helping us to ‘get our house in order.’

We’ve rebranded our organisation with a family of unified strands and logos to match.

We’ve been refining our core offer and exploring new income streams to build long-term resilience.

These collaborations have brought new energy and clarity to our mission.

This support has empowered us to move forward with confidence, not only with a stronger operational framework, but also with renewed creativity and purpose.

I’m immensely proud of our team and the young people we serve, whose commitment and talent inspire us daily.

Together, we’re building more than a multi-Arts venue, we’re creating a future where every young person that we work with has the chance to shine.

We look forward to welcoming you in 2025/2026.

MR IAN BURNS BSC FIA

"Hi, I’m Ian, and I’m delighted to

introduce myself as the new Treasurer of Innit For Young People.

I currently serve as Principal Actuary at Gallagher Insurance, Risk Management and Consulting, where I specialise in financial forecasting,

investment strategy and long-term risk planning.

Much of my work involves advising trustee boards on the financial health of multi-million-pound pension schemes, ensuring robust governance and sustainable futures for beneficiaries.

Joining the Board of Innit For Young People is a personal and professional privilege. Being Salford born, I’ve seen first-hand the barriers many young people face, and I’m deeply inspired by the impact our charity makes in creating opportunities for those who need them most.

As Treasurer, my aim is to ensure the organisation remains on a secure and sustainable financial footing. I’ll support the team to develop strong financial strategies, optimise income diversification, including corporate partnerships and social enterprise, and ensure that every investment aligns with our charitable objectives and delivers real human and societal impact.

I’m excited to play a role in shaping the next phase of growth and to help Innit For Young People continue to thrive as a financially resilient, forward-looking organisation delivering life-changing work with Salford’s young people."

INNIT CREATIVE HUB

HEADLINES

What a year it’s been for the Innit Creative Hub which has gone from strength to strength! Here’s some of our headline figures:

981 transactions made in the Hub supporting young artists!

The Innit Creative Hub is now well established and sees many frequent and regular visitors and supporters. The Hub, as well as being a safe space for young people to develop their creativity is also a public space in which many people enjoy appreciating the artwork and watching young people be creative.

WEDNESDAY SESSIONS

This reporting year we have managed to establish regular art sessions for groups of young people who attend regularly on a Wednesday. These young people are from Life Lodge Alternative Provision and New Park Academy (SEMH school). During the sessions the young people develop their skills and experiment with different art forms such as but not restricted to:

Screen Printing Graffiti Art

Badge Making

Paint Pouring

Mosaics

Sign Making General Arts and Crafts

We engage with a young freelance artist, Nate Frost, who runs the session, sharing his experience of being a young carer and a member of the LGBTQ+ community with the young people. His experience is invaluable for the sessions as they are facilitated with a high level of empathy and positivity. Nate is a Mental Health First Aider and is able to address any issues quickly and calmly whilst signposting young people to any services he thinks would be of benefit.

DROP-IN SESSIONS

As well as the structured sessions on a Wednesday, we also offer drop-in sessions at a weekend which have proven to be very popular! By nature of the Innit Creative Hub being in a public shopping mall, we always have young people, families and members of the public drop in and use the facilities. The young people are often left to wander the streets all day so come to the hub for somewhere safe to sit, chat, have a hot snack, a drink and often get creative!

INNIT CREATIVE HUB

The impact of these sessions have been that the Innit for Young People’s leadership team have successfully diffused numerous volatile family situations through restorative conversations, leaving families calmer and in better standing with each other. As a result of the drop-in sessions, young people are no longer wandering the streets and have a safe space to gather.

This has led to a significant decrease in antisocial behaviour in the shopping centre and surrounding locality. This has also enabled meaningful connections to be formed between local children and adults (for example centre and security staff and members of the public), creating a safer and more cohesive community.

LGBTQ+ SESSIONS

These sessions run on a Saturday and offer a safe, creative space to young LGTBQ+ people who would otherwise be socially isolated.

Many have expressed the need for more of these sessions to run as they enjoy the creative space and socialising with likeminded young people.

Two members of the LGBTQ+ Art sessions have become young volunteers, dedicating their valuable spare time to Innit for Young People. They've not only become prolific selling artists but have also founded a support initiative for their peers. They have shared skills with each other, shadowed experienced facilitators, and have had the opportunity to lead sessions. One member who initially required the support of a chaperone, now travels and attends the sessions alone.

One member of the group was so inspired by the sessions that they decided to start their own ‘Foundation’ to help create more safer spaces for members of the LGBTQ+ communities to meet regularly and discuss important topics.

We felt privileged that one of our young people was so inspired by our work and used their initiative to develop their own group!

TRAUMA RESPONSIVE ORGANISATION

In November 2024, we became a Trauma Responsive organisation and committed ourselves to creating a space in which our young people feel safe and supported, promoting recovery and preventing re-traumatisation.

We fully recognise that the majority of young people we work with AND a high proportion of our staff and volunteers are survivors of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and we are fully invested in creating a calm, peaceful and playful environment in which they are not afraid to make mistakes and are excited about creativity.

When working with our young people, we use the following key principles:

1. CHOICE : the young people have clear control and continuous consent is emphasised

2. EMPOWERMENT: the young people always feel heard, cared for and validated

3. SAFETY: privacy is respected, and the Innit Creative Hub is welcoming to all people

4. TRUST: being honest, clear and consistent, especially with maintaining boundaries

5. COLLABORATION: we always ask our young people to share their power and help us make decisions as a young people’s charity

6. CULTURAL

CONSIDERATIONS: interventions and policies consider diversity across culture, ethnicity and gender

GENERAL BUSINESS

As well as all the amazing aforementioned sessions for young people, Innit for Young People have run workshops and sessions for the following community groups and festivals:

WE INVENTED THE WEEKEND FESTIVAL

STEPPING STONES HOMELESS PROJECT

NEW BROADWALK LIBRARY - OVER 50S WOMEN'S ART GROUP

June 2024 saw We Invented The Weekend return to Salford Quays!

Innit for Young People ran 2 well attended workshops - Theatrical Make-Up and Drama Improvisation.

The sessions generated a buzz around the Hub and increased footfall.

In December 2024 we welcomed 8 service users from the Stepping Stones Homeless project to the Hub for an Adult Abstract session!

For many of the attendees, English is not their first language but they were able to express their creativity freely and without any constraints or barriers.

16 ladies visited the Hub in February 2025 for an art workshop with lunch.

They were able to choose from an impasto variation called 'Triple Stiple' (our CEO's signature style!) or paint pouring.

Each of the ladies left with 2 pieces of artwork and full bellies, whilst also supporting our cause with a very nice donation

PROJECTS

A particular success of the 2024-2025 reporting year has been the ‘Come to the Hub’ and ‘Creative Christmas’ projects.

We delivered 'Come to the Hub’ and ‘Creative Christmas’ over a period of 43 weeks, from May 2024 to May 2025.

The project has seen 25 regular attendees participate in weekly sessions which have lasted for between 60 and 90 minutes. The sessions have covered a variety of activities such as fine art, visual art, woodwork, graffiti art and other exciting areas of creativity, and have been led by our experienced facilitators.

All our facilitators and volunteers have previous experience working with disadvantaged young people and those who may initially display more challenging behaviours.

Two of our young volunteers (previous service users) have also been shadowing the experienced workshop leaders so that they can become independent facilitators in their areas of expertise.

As well as developing their creative skills during the sessions, the young people have been making products such as birdhouses, vases, candle holders etc which they sold at the Christmas Market held at Quayside, Salford Quays in December 2024.

11

PROJECTS

We collaborated with Quayside and the Maker's Market to ensure that our young people had a stall for one full weekend in December which was facilitated by Innit for Young People’s staff, volunteers and the participants.

Beyond Christmas 2024, the participants have been attending the sessions and continuing to develop their creativity and making products to sell in the charity’s gift shop and for occasions such as Mother’s Day.

Innit For Young People have been able to offer bespoke sessions such as screen printing, which have enabled the young people to create products such as tote bags and cushion covers, all of which they are really proud of!

HEADLINE FIGURES

2524 engagements in total

124 sessions delivered

43 weeks of provision

2 young volunteers given experience

We had a core group of 22 individuals who attended the sessions regularly with an average of 10 young people attending each session.

Engagement has been good overall for the project and we have been pleased, especially with the Wednesday sessions which have been consistently well attended.

The weekend sessions have been more variable and we know this is down to several factors including young people being turned away by Quayside Security Team before they can even reach the Hub.

We were very pleased with the engagement during the Christmas Markets as for most of the young people this was completely out of their comfort zones! We had at least 8 young people running the stall (which spanned across two tables) at any one time and were swapping over with their peers in ‘shifts’.

CASE STUDY: KW

"DURING A SESSION IN DECEMBER WHEN KW LED A SPONTANEOUS, JOYFUL RENDITION OF A CHRISTMAS CAROL WITH HIS PEERS, WHICH WAS A REMARKABLE DEMONSTRATION OF CONFIDENCE, CONNECTION AND EMOTIONAL SAFETY."

KW, a 16-year-old male, was referred to Innit For Young People by his social worker in June 2024. At the time, KW was under a Care Order and a Deprivation of Liberty Order (DoL), following a 10-month Training and Detention Order for an offence involving a weapon and criminal exploitation.

KW presented with multiple vulnerabilities including Complex PTSD, psychosis and ADHD, and was not engaged in education, employment or training. He required a Community Risk Assessment for any external activity and had to be accompanied by two carers at all times.

TRANSFORMATIONAL IMPACT THROUGH CREATIVE ENGAGEMENT

KW’s initial presentation at the project reflected deep-seated trauma. He arrived withdrawn, wearing layers as emotional 'armour' and rarely spoke unless prompted. He displayed low self-worth, poor hygiene, little resilience and showed no signs of connection to peers or staff.

KW also participated in the project’s Christmas Market, spending five hours managing a stall, selling goods and engaging with the public. When his mother failed to attend as promised, previously a trigger for dysregulation, KW remained composed and expressed satisfaction with the experience.

Over the following weeks however, significant and sustained progress was observed. KW began attending sessions in casual, weather-appropriate clothing and demonstrated growing pride in his appearance, arriving showered and in clean clothes. He began using manners unprompted, regularly thanking staff and engaging respectfully with other participants.

KW’s progress has been consistently acknowledged by his lead carer and social worker, who continue to work with Innit For Young People to enable participation.

His engagement has exceeded all expectations and Innit For Young People are committed to continuing support for KW beyond the life of the funded project.

KW’s social confidence developed considerably. He initiated discussions with his peers on topics such as space and conspiracy theories and demonstrated thoughtful listening and expression. He began sharing personal updates, including showing off new birthday clothes with pride. A standout moment occurred during a session in December when KW led a spontaneous, joyful rendition of a Christmas carol with his peers, which was a remarkable demonstration of confidence, connection and emotional safety.

This case demonstrates the power of trauma-informed, creative youth engagement to drive meaningful behavioural change, enhance wellbeing, and support positive, long-term outcomes.

CASE STUDY: MH

"THE HUB PROVIDED A SAFE, STRUCTURED AND CREATIVELY ENGAGING SPACE WHERE MH COULD EXPLORE IDENTITY, BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND TAKE PRIDE IN HIS ACHIEVEMENTS."

MH, aged 17, was referred to I4YPC in August 2024 by his social worker, who highlighted his love of painting. MH is in foster care and has been in the care system since age 12, following removal from his family due to significant abuse and neglect.

MH lives with high levels of anxiety, struggles in public spaces and avoids eating or drinking outside his home. MH was invited to attend our ‘Come to the Hub’ summer Arts project. From the outset, MH showed a quiet interest in the environment and stayed long beyond the end of his first session.

TRANSFORMATIONAL IMPACT THROUGH CREATIVE ENGAGEMENT

He was polite, well-mannered and neatly presented, but very socially withdrawn. He engaged only in intellectual conversation, was highly self-critical of his art and showed low resilience when things didn’t go to plan.

Over the following weeks, MH began to grow in confidence. He started to use public transport to get to sessions independently. He responded positively to creative challenges, particularly making signs with cursive writing on wood. MH also began helping peers who were struggling with their own artwork.

MH’s journey demonstrates a significant shift in confidence, communication skills and social participation. The Hub provided a safe, structured and creatively engaging space where MH could explore identity, build relationships and take pride in his achievements.

Since joining I4YPC, MH has been referred into other initiatives and recently auditioned for a role in a community production at The Lowry. Not only did MH get a part, but he landed the leading role and it was delightful to see him come alive with his ne found confidence.

Slowly, MH began to join in more casual conversations, laugh at jokes and build friendships. MH also began staying for longer hours and appeared more relaxed and open to new experiences. His interaction with others, both peers and staff, became more confident and consistent.

In December, MH took part in our Christmas market event at Quayside, where participants ran their own stalls. Despite clear anxiety, particularly when a loudspeaker was placed nearby, he remained on the stall for nearly four hours. He helped set up, sold products, worked as part of a team and even spoke to members of the public about the charity and the work on display.

MH’s progress is a powerful reminder of how creativity and consistency can support the wellbeing and personal growth of even the most vulnerable young people.

INNIT STUDIO THEATRE – CONSTRUCTION BEGINS

In 2023, we began transforming a vacant retail unit into a rehearsal space for Innit Musical, which has since been evolving into a fully functioning studio theatre.

This ambitious development was driven by our commitment to creating a dedicated, safe and professional space for young people to engage in creative practice. What began as a modest conversion project quickly gained momentum thanks to invaluable strategic support, including a generous loan of professional technical equipment from The Lowry and the support of their Technical Manager, Dave Clare.

Their involvement has allowed us to install industry-standard lighting, ensuring the space is fit for both rehearsals and public performance.

Working closely with Dave and drawing on our own experience producing professional work at The Lowry, we have created a flexible black box studio that can accommodate up to 22 audience members. This venue will not only be a creative home for Innit Musical, but also a launchpad for new work, skills development, community engagement and employability opportunities. We have also been blessed to have been donated seating, blacks and curtains from the Oldham Coliseum Theatre.

We aim to officially launch the studio theatre in September 2025, with a programme of activity already in planning. We look forward to sharing further updates and impact outcomes in our next reporting year as this new chapter in our charity’s journey unfolds.

REBRANDING

Through the generous support of Oglesby Charitable Trust’s ‘Funding Plus’ programme, we’ve had a very exciting time this year with our corporate partner Bruntwood, working together on how to market our charity so that it achieves its full potential and is ‘seen’ in the wider community.

During this process we enlisted the help of our young service users and created a mind map of words and phrases that they associated with the charity. They came up with this:

After an initial meeting with Ashley Toth and Nikki Phillips from Bruntwood’s marketing team, we became aware that the branding for the charity was slightly disjointed and not cohesive, meaning that it was sometimes difficult to see how the different strands of the charity dovetailed.

This was a brilliant opportunity for us to go away and think about the charity, the strands and the value in what Innit for Young People has to offer.

VISION/MISSION/VALUES

From this discussion and similar discussion with our trustees, we worked tirelessly to streamline our vision, mission and values alongside creating engaging and cohesive logos for the charity branding.

When we reconvened with our voluntary consultants at Bruntwood, they were astonished with the progress we had made and loved the outcome!

The new vision, mission and values are as follows:

CREATIVITY: At our heart is nurturing imagination and selfexpression of our young people. We value the importance of creative thinking, innovation, and the power of the Arts to transform lives.

EMPOWERMENT: We help young people discover their potential, giving them the tools, opportunities and confidence to shape their futures. We are committed to supporting young people through skills development and inspiring self-belief.

From the discussions with our young people, we developed the tag line:

WHAT IS OUR VISION?

To set the stage for a new generation of young creatives to play leading roles in shaping society for the better.

WHAT IS OUR MISSION STATEMENT?

To provide life-changing opportunities in the Arts to young people, helping them to develop their social skills, practical skills and prospects of employability.

WHAT ARE OUR VALUES?

IMPACT: We have a positive effect on society through the contributions of creative young people. We focus on making meaningful, lasting changes, both for the young people and the wider community.

INNIT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE: BE CREATIVE. BE VISIBLE. BE HEARD.

CEO SUMMARY

This year has marked a period of exciting growth, consolidation and renewed ambition for Innit For Young People.

We’re proud to report that the Innit Creative Hub has now become a self-sustaining space, underpinned by a growing social enterprise model and a deepened commitment to meeting the creative and social needs of vulnerable young people across Salford. One of the most significant achievements this year has been generating a trading profit of almost £4,000, which is an encouraging indicator of financial resilience in just our second year of trading as a gift shop and gallery.

We have also, for the first time, secured multi-year funding from the Barbara Ward Charitable Trust, which now supports two of our weekly Wednesday sessions for the year ahead. This funding gives us crucial consistency, allowing us to deepen our relationships with young people and provide meaningful progression opportunities.

We also received a grant from Salford City Council, marking our first local authority investment. These partnerships have enabled us to expand our offer in a way that feels both sustainable and strategically aligned with the needs of our community. We were also delighted to have been nominated for a ‘Spirit Of Salford’ Community Safety Award. There were over 1,000 nominations and we were shortlisted to just four finalists. Whilst we were ‘pipped at the post’, we were honoured to have been nominated and to reach the finalist’s stage. Plus, the winner was Salford Loaves and Fishes, an incredible organisation and really deserving of the accolade.

MICKY DACKS

One of the most exciting developments this year has been the transformation of a retail unit into a fully functioning rehearsal space. With the generous support of The Lowry’s Technical Manager, what began as a practical rehearsal area has organically evolved into the ‘Innit Studio Theatre.’

Whilst The Lowry has been kind enough to lend us some equipment temporarily, we are currently working to equip the space with our own lighting, sound and rigging, supported by a portion of our current surplus.

We do have the forthcoming challenge of navigating all the implications of having a public venue, including health and safety, fire and electrical risk assessments and certification, but we feel confident that the venue will launch publicly in September 2025. This development reflects a natural progression in our journey, empowering young people not only to create, but to share their work in another safe space that belongs to them. The Innit Studio Theatre will serve as a professionalstandard, intimate performance venue, whilst also remaining rooted in accessibility, training and community.

This year has also seen critical progress behind the scenes. Thanks to the Oglesby Charitable Trust, both my Deputy CEO and I have received salary payments for the first time since I founded the charity back in 2019. This structural change has allowed the leadership team to focus on strategy and capacity building, enabling the organisation to truly flower.

We are proud to close the year with a healthy financial surplus of £16,826, of which £12,000 is unrestricted and reserved for the continued development of our studio theatre. Despite these successes, we are mindful of areas where we hope to grow further.

We remain committed to developing new partnerships, especially with services supporting young people with complex needs, such as Salford’s Youth Justice Service.

We also recognise the need to further diversify our income and increase the visibility of our creative offer to funders, partners and audiences alike.

We move into our seventh year energised by what we’ve achieved this year, and we’re even more ambitious than ever about what we can achieve in the coming years ahead.

May I take this opportunity to once again thank all of our supporters, stakeholders and most importantly, the young people who have come through our projects, whose growth and resilience continue to inspire and fill us all with hope and joy on a daily basis and give us reason to carry on delivering on our promises.

OUR GRATITUDE

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our funders and stakeholders whose continued support has been vital to our progress this year.

Your belief in our mission enables us to provide life-changing creative opportunities for young people who need them the most. From strategic guidance to financial backing, your contributions help us to nurture talent, build safe spaces and deliver professional standard work, with lasting community impact. We are deeply grateful for the trust you place in us and the work that we do.

Together, we are making a real difference by inspiring a new generation to dream, express themselves and shape their futures through the Arts.
