## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021** 

The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the Charity for the year ending 31 July 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102, effective 1 January 2015). 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statements of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). 

## **1. Background, Objectives and Activities** 

## Background 

SHINE YOUTH was founded after the charity This Way Up Youth Project (Registered charity number 1114775) announced at the end of June 2019 that it was going to close. At that time, the Founder was the Director of the Pastoral Mentoring work delivered by This Way Up Youth Project and was asked by all 6 of the schools where they were delivering mentoring services to continue that service delivery. The schools said there was no other provision able to meet the needs of their vulnerable students in the same timely and effective way. When the staff and existing volunteers of This Way Up Youth Project committed to continue the work with the Founder, the Founder set up SHINE YOUTH immediately so that young people receiving the mentoring support had no break in the mentoring provision. Shine Youth was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) by the Charity Commission on 23 September 2020. 

## Objectives 

The purpose of the Charity is to promote and protect the positive mental health of young people aged 11-18 years who are experiencing emotional and behavioural difficulties related to experiences of grief and loss; low mood, low self-esteem; anger; stress and anxiety; childhood trauma; domestic violence and self-harm. 

The activities of the Charity are focused on providing: 

- (1) Psychological information about how these issues affect young people to these individuals and their parents/ carers, teachers, youth workers and others. We increase their knowledge and capacity to respond in ways that are mental health- and trauma-informed. 

- (2) 1:1 pastoral mentoring and bespoke individual and group courses to young people which relieves their distress; advances their self-care, social and emotional skills; and facilitates the growth of their positive mental health, self- identity, resilience and self-esteem. 

In so doing, the Charity’s work aims to support young people to fulfil their potential to flourish in their family, friendships, education, and community; achieve more and avoid school exclusion. 

## Public Benefit 

The Trustees have regard to the guidance from the Charity Commission on reporting on Public Benefit and are committed to ensuring the Charity delivers public benefit as it fulfils its objectives. The Charity offers its activities to all people of any faith or none and does so in accordance with Christian principles and unconditional positive regard, respect and empathy. 



## Activities 

SHINE YOUTH fulfils its objectives by recruiting, training and supervising volunteer pastoral mentors and group leaders to provide: 

- weekly 1:1 in-school Pastoral Mentoring support to young people aged 11-18 years; 

- support groups for young people aged 11-18 years; and 

- the MADE course – a course for year 9 school students (aged 14 years) who are low confidence learners or struggling to engage with education for other reasons. 

## Our volunteers: 

- ensure that young people experience the personal investment of a caring, trained and supportive adult who enables them to feel seen, heard and safe during times of difficulty or distress; 

- use creative activities to facilitate young people’s self-expression and reflection and provide them with evidence-based strategies and tools to build their resilience to cope and begin to thrive in their relationships and schoolwork; and 

- are trained in person-centred counselling skills, cognitive-behavioural therapy, solution-focused approaches and recommended coping strategies for a range of emotional wellbeing issues and safeguarding. 

## **2. Achievements and Performance** 

## Review of the significant activities, events and achievements 

The 2020/2021 year has been an unprecedented and challenging one for everyone as the Covid-19 pandemic has continued to impact the lives and mental health of all. The impact of long periods of lockdown and social isolation, and restrictions on movement and contact have all impacted negatively on the mental health of many young people, who also lost the safety net of support from school teachers and support services. With all of the disruptions to mentees’ lives it has been important for our mentoring to provide consistency of connection and support and also an important monitoring function as schools have been overwhelmed and struggled with staff absences themselves to maintain the level of contact they would like with the most vulnerable pupils. 

We have been thanked by staff in all of the schools we have worked with for maintaining regular contact with their students and told that it is “a relief” to them that we have been present in this role. 

As a result of having pivoted at speed in the Spring of 2020 to transfer as many of the paper resources we use in faceto-face mentoring to digital resources which could be shared and used online with young people, we were able to continue to provide crucial mentoring support throughout the 2 national lockdowns in November to December 2020 and January to March 2021, and also when bubbles of students were working at home due to high numbers of Covid19 cases in school. We have also been able to provide mentoring by text and phone for those who preferred this mode. 

The trustees have been amazed and are incredibly thankful for the fantastic team of volunteer mentors who have persevered to continue to visit schools each week, or hold space online or through text messages, to ensure that teenagers knew they were not alone and had someone cheering them on. Their commitment, dedication, compassion, flexibility and professionalism has been a privilege to see and is what has enabled SHINE YOUTH to remain alongside young people, families and schools through such a chronically challenging and waring time. 

Sadly we have seen a pronounced rise in the number of young people presenting with serious issues. The following table shows the increased percentages of teenagers presenting with difficulties, with all having increased and those who are bereaved and feeling low in mood having more than doubled those in 2019-20. 



||**2019-2020 (%)**|**2020-21 (%)**|
|---|---|---|
|Anxiety|26|48|
|Bereavement|35|76|
|Domestic violence|17|23|
|Low Mood|24|66|
|Self-harm|24|39|
|Suicidal thoughts|20|23|
|Referred to CAMHS|28|43|



These figures provide a window into some of the pressures and issues young people have been facing, including home/parental issues, education issues, enforced changes in activity and health anxieties. Many felt lonely even though most were able to connect with friends online. All felt uncertain about the future and when ‘normal life’ would resume. Many told us they found it hard to engage in home-learning for a variety of reasons and were worried and apathetic about being able to catch-up or how their GCSE / A’ levels would be assessed as to whether it was worth engaging or not. Many struggled with not having been able to see loved ones before they died and not to attend funerals or support, and be supported by, those close to them. Bereavements are always harder to cope with when the usual anchors / buffers / sources of support in life such as regular, predictable activities and contact with peers and adults outside the home had been removed. Some young people were worried about the reality or possibility of their parents losing jobs and income as a result of the pandemic. 

As a result of the chronic nature of the disruption with the impact of Covid-19 regularly leading to individuals and ‘bubbles’ having to be at home rather than in school, the number of mentoring sessions delivered to individual young people increased to provide a stable, consistent anchor and because of the higher level of emotional distress we found them to be experiencing and within a context when other adults at home and school were themselves stretched. This had the effect of reducing the number we worked with from 100 to 80. 

## **Outcomes:** 

Our 2020-21 outcome data reported that our intervention continued to achieve **an average significant 9 points reduction in emotional distress for all of the students we worked with** , which is a ‘reliable change' reduction from severe to moderate, or, moderate to mild distress. This is a notable positive impact given that 39% of the students we worked with were engaging in self-harm, 23% were experiencing suicidal thoughts and 23% had experienced domestic violence. We also collected qualitative student and teacher questionnaire feedback which reported that **100%** of the young people we worked with in 2020-21 said they **felt less stressed or anxious, more confident, and more able to work through problems following their course of mentoring sessions.** 





Looking ahead, the UK and global community remains in a highly uncertain situation. In our work young people have reported worries and concerns related to the effect of the pandemic on their educational outcomes, family health, household finances and employment situation. 

## **Development plans for 2021-22:** 

As we look ahead we foresee a surge in demand that is difficult to anticipate but will require us to remain flexible and agile in our response to tackling the demand. We are an early-help service but already find ourselves ‘holding’ young people until they can access CAMHS services or providing our support when the young person is told they do not meet the threshold for access to the CAMHS service. With the national rise to 1.025 million referrals of children or adolescents to CAMHS for conditions such as anxiety and depression in 2021 (NHS Digital) and the latest report from England's children's commissioner, finding that only 32% of children with a diagnosable mental health need were accessing treatment in 2020-21, the planned rollout of Mental Health Teams in Schools (MHST) to expand the provision is going to fall far short and mean that the demand for our service and the role we can play in effectively support young people whilst they wait is urgently required. 

We therefore plan the following: 

- With our new Training & Development Manager in post from September 2021, we will prioritise recruiting and training more volunteers in order that our 1:1 Pastoral Mentoring service can be delivered in additional local secondary schools to an increased number of young people who are currently struggling without regular, evidence-based support. 

- To extend our training and resources to equip teachers, parents and youth workers to support (not just recognise) young people’s mental health and emotional wellbeing. 

- To develop our series of Journals for young people which contain our resources as teaching aids and processing places, and which will be an easy access format for youth workers and others to use (along with its Guide) to assist young people to build their mental and emotional health in settings outside of school. 

- To deliver The MADE Course to young people with challenges to overcome to remotivate, reinspire and reengage them with education and a positive future knowing their value, positive identity and purpose. 

- To gather Young Consultants groups of teenagers with lived experience of mental health and emotional wellbeing difficulties to tell us what their priorities are for our service, how we can best support them and their peers and to provide feedback on and shape the Journals, training and website material we produce. These will be drawn from the cohorts of young people who have received our 1:1 Pastoral Mentoring Service. 

- In time, (our BIG vision) is to host an open access holistic wellbeing space for teenagers to call their own, to book or drop in and find support, activities and strategies they can use to connect, develop, flourish and shine. 



## **Financial Review:** 

SHINE YOUTH completed its 2020-21 financial year on 31st July 2021 with a surplus of income over expenditure of £32,708. Of this, £10,998 were unrestricted funds and £21,711 was restricted. The total income for the year was £70,989 and total expenditure was £46,974. 

Grant income was £39,000 and the Charity was successful with 6 out of 8 bids. The trustees would like to express their thanks to the following who gave grants to fund our work: The Society of the Holy Child Jesus, The Garfield Weston Foundation, The Heart of England Community Foundation / Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, The Cameron Grant Memorial Trust, The George Henry Collins Charity and Arnold Clark. 

The Charity was pleased to increase the number of regular donors to support the work and to have had a fantastic community response to its Autumn online giving campaign which raised £7,523. We would like to thank all who invest in what we are doing financially. We really couldn’t do it without you! 

Similarly, we would also like to thank The Bentley Heath Café, Birmingham Vineyard Church, Solihull Christian Fellowship and Shirley Baptist Church for their donations. 

## Reserves Policy 

The Trustees have set a reserves policy to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to 3 months of fixed overheads (£17,271). The Trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to allow time for responses to applications for grants to be received and to ensure that support and governance costs are covered. Three months of reserve funds also provides for the service delivery to be concluded over a timescale which constitutes therapeutic rather than abrupt endings of the direct work with young people. 

We are pleased to report that income exceeded our expenditure in the 2020-21 financial year such that the Charity was able to accrue unrestricted reserves equivalent to almost 2 months of fixed overheads. This is therefore lower than that required and it is planned to increase the Charity’s reserves to 3 months of fixed overheads by the end of 2021-22. 

## Assessment of Principal Risks and Mitigating Factors 

The Trustees manage the risk environment regularly using a risk register which assesses risks in accordance with the size and potential impact and likelihood of occurrence. This scoring methodology is used to prioritise which risks are actively managed by the Charity at both executive and Trustee level. The major risks managed monthly include young people’s safeguarding; levels of grant and fundraising income; risk of key employee loss; service delivery demand and response/waiting times; and cash flow management. The Trustees are satisfied that all material risks have been clearly highlighted and are appropriately managed. 

## Going Concern 

Having reviewed the level of available funds alongside the projected cash-flow, the Trustees have reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## Structure, Governance and Management 

The organisation is led by the Board of Trustees which oversees and monitors the work of SHINE YOUTH and makes decisions on over-arching issues such as vision, strategy and both the agreement and monitoring of the budget and risk register. The Board of Trustees met 11 times during this year. 

The post of CEO is also a Trustee in order to provide the Charity with a direct, effective and efficient link between its governance and operational functions. The CEO’s equal responsibility and decision-making power at the highest level 



of the running of the charity provides direct accountability, strengthens governance and guards against the potential for disconnect between the Charity’s management team and the Board. 

The day-to-day running of SHINE YOUTH is delegated to the CEO. Members of the Board supervise the CEO and the CEO provides supervision to the rest of the staff and volunteer team. 

## Recruitment, Appointment, Induction and Training of the Board of Trustees 

The Board of Trustees ensures that it takes into account potential contributions to the skills mix and the balance of the Board as a whole when making new appointments. Trustees are recruited by word of mouth and by direct approach to people who possess relevant skills and support the values of the Charity. 

New Trustees are provided with a Trustee Handbook and inducted to the Charity and the context within which it operates, including: 

- The obligations of Trustee board members; 

- The main documents which set out the operational framework for the Charity including its Governing Document; Policy Handbook; Risk Register and Archived Minutes of Trustees’ Meetings; 

- Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts; 

- Future plans and objectives. 

As part of an ongoing recognition of the need to maintain quality standards throughout the Charity there is a commitment to source and recommend training for the Trustees to develop their understanding and abilities as Trustees. All Trustees complete Safeguarding training.
