## **Purposes and Aims**
To act as a resource for young people up to the age of 11-18 living in Lancashire by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of:
1. advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals;
2. advancing education;
3. providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons.
## **Ensuring our work delivers our aims**
Our board reviews our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in this financial year.
## **The focus of our work**
E2M is a pioneering, grassroots, youth-led charitable organisation supporting the wellbeing of 11-18-year-olds by providing free creative programmes feeding into community-based events. We contract local creative practitioners, local and national businesses, cultural organisations and universities to facilitate our programmes, which are carefully crafted to inspire and motivate young people to discover new talents, passions, and how these can be used to give back to the community.

## **ESCAPE2MAKE**
## **CONTINUED)**
## **FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
E2M is fighting back against the repercussions of a decade of statutory youth provision cuts and the now allconsuming presence of social media. Young people resultantly have nowhere to go out of school hours besides costly and sport-based clubs and are left to their own devices in their bedrooms with nothing but unhealthy use of television and the internet as entertainment. Bereft of activity, safe space and face-to-face communication, it is unsurprising that young people are officially the loneliest age group, experiencing the poorest mental health in the UK in higher numbers than ever before. E2M is a mental escape from the pressures of school, homelife and anxieties proven to be caused by use of social media, providing a haven for young people to meet face-to-face and create things side-by-side in an offline environment. We support young people to make things, make friends, and make a difference.
Our programmes also provide unique educational experiences for young people struggling with the narrowing options on offer by the national school curriculum. Funding restrictions have gradually forced comprehensive - schools to reduce GCSE and A-Level subjec subjects, including art, drama, food and design technologies. E2M, by offering vocational skill workshops ranging wild cooking, allows students struggling to fit into the strictly academic school system to experience vocational options offered in colleges and other alternative post-16 educational channels. Discovery of a talent or interest that would otherwise have gone unidentified could encourage struggling young people to stay in education, as well as increasing self-worth and motivation to do well in order to pursue a chosen interest.
## **Activities**
The activities we offer are split into three categories: **Clubs, Projects and Youth Leadership.**
Our clubs run year-round, including during the school holidays, with free, fortnightly sessions open to all 11-18year-olds from the region. They are led by creative professionals who work with the young participants to decide on quarterly themes to produce work around. In 2022-23, the clubs we ran were:
- **Film Club** young people worked with professional filmmaker Kriss Foster to produce short documentaries, fiction films and animations. Support from the Rank Foundation allowed us to run a Virtual Reality project facilitated by artists Leo & Hyde;
- **Press Club** participants developed writing and graphic design skills, working with facilitators including artist Vaz Lockett and graphic designer Adele Armistead. The group produced a selection of zines which were placed on sale in local shops to raise money for the charity;
- **Yoga** Local practitioner Natalie Temple ran accessible yoga sessions, splitting sessions across two age groups (11-14 and 15-18). Sessions took place in iconic venues such as Ashton Memorial and The Storey.
We have funding secured from the Areti Trust to start a Green Club and Bicycle Club from May 2023. A Craft Club will start in September 2023, supported by the Lancaster District CVS Pots of Possibility fund.
Our projects are ambitious, large-scale clusters of activity leading to a youth-led community-facing event. Each project involves 10-15 5-week creative programmes or full day workshops led by experts and attended by groups of 11-18-year-olds. Each programme works towards a tangible outcome that can be performed, sold or experienced at the final event, to which the wider local community is invited. Our projects in 2022-23 were:
- A **Green Festival** in Summer 2022. 110 young people took part in 13 activities, including ceramics, land art, woodwork and an upcycled band. This resulted in a Green Festival event in August 2022 at Scotch Quarry in Lancaster. 500 members of the local community attended, watching performances, taking part in workshops and demonstrations and buying products created by the young participants.
- A **Cabaret,** January-March 2023. 123 young people took part in 9 workshop programmes and 4 one-off activities, including local cuisine, a mini musical, magic and stand-up comedy. Each activity resulted in something that was performed or shared as part of a Cabaret event at the Alhambra, Morecambe, in March 2023, including a 3-course meal prepared and served by young people, to 140 invited guests from the local community.

## **ESCAPE2MAKE**
## **FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
Our next project will be a **Heritage Market Festival,** supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, taking place in Winter 2023.
Our youth leadership work involves establishing groups of young people to help guide us as an organisation, ensuring we are youth-led in our decision-making. In 2022-23 this work included:
- Our **Youth Board** , a group of young people heavily involved in E2M activity who meet monthly to discuss crucial issues relating to the organisation. Examples of this are the group writing our Kindness Contract, which underpins all our activity, selecting which creative programmes should be part of our larger projects, and supporting recruitment of freelancers. Membership of the Youth Board averages 10, with some members joining or leaving the group during the year;
- A group of **Young Design Consultants,** who lead take part in a co-design process to imagine the E2M building, which the organisation is working towards as a space to host our activity and provide a safe, creative haven for young people in Lancaster and Morecambe. They have worked with professional building to be situated in the regenerated Canal Quarter of Lancaster.
