**achievements of the charity**
**during the year**|After successful community and corporate launches, our youth club is now
running on a twice-weekly basis. These sessions are led by young people,
supported by more experienced staf members. The youth club provides a
platform for us to ofer support opportunities to a wider range of young people, as
well as targeted interventions.
We also continue to receive a large number of referrals both directly from
families, and through schools and community groups. Our work has diverted
young people from harmful contexts and behaviours. We do this through a wide
range of interventions, including mentorship and engagement in enrichment
activities.
We are particularly proud of our green industry training. This was a pilot scheme
which was extremely successful in engaging with older people who had lost work
through the pandemic and/or those who were struggling with their mental health.
Participants undertook accredited courses necessary to access roles in the
green industry, alongside practical skills which would allow participants to
fourish in the industry. 100% of participants, who were previously out of work
are now either employed or self-employed as a direct result of this training.|| |---|---|---| ## **Section E Financial review** March **2012** **TAR** 5 The charity’s reserve level is set at £5000.00.
