Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

During 2020 the landscape of providing early mental health interventions for children and young people changed drastically with the Covid-19 pandemic, not only being able to provide services but with the increasing health difficulties being presented to us.

During the year we made a measurable difference to children and young people’s lives by:

extending our young person’s counselling service using a variety of formats best suited to the young person
opening the first ‘physical’ Covid-19 safe youth club in Somerset, moving to virtual as needed during lockdowns
organising support related holiday activities
building a Community Wellbeing Allotment as a safe space for young people and families by using gardening as a low level therapeutic tool.
funding, supporting and working with local schools to support peer to peer collaboration, e.g. ambassador programme and podcasts during the pandemic.
In the coming year we will make a difference to impacted parents and family members by:
launching a Listening Service for parents, carers and family members to support young people and themselves.
We continue to make a difference to our preventive intervention support by:
continuing working as an adopter location and pilot for the NHS iThrive support framework.
collaborating as lead partner with other VCSE partners to form a Somerset Young People’s Counselling Alliance, acting as one voice for Somerset.

Continuing to build our Community of Support around young people and their family members support our public benefit and will make a practical and positive difference to young people supporting them to be Emotionally Well, Developing Emotional Resilience and Forming Positive Relationships, and their family members and carers to be able to cope and support their young person.

A vibrant and mentally well youth community is seen as important part of community resilience.
