Annual Report April 2Q22 to March 2Q23 The Kite Trust. Oender and sexuallty Supportlng young peopl• Registered Charity No. 1189936

Chair of Trustees Introduction In a year where the media and political climate has remained both polarising and perseculory, the work of The Kite Trust has remained vitally important in providing a sense of support and community for LGBTQ+ young people and their families. During 2022123 we worked with 500 LGBTQ+ young people across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, as well as a further 88 of their parents, carers and family members. The youngest was 7 at the start of the year and young adults have stayed involved through lo their 30th birthdays, though the majority of those engaged with our seNices continued to be 15 to 25 year olds. We undertook 477 hours of individual support for young people during the year and a further 30 hours of direct support to parents and carers. We ran a total of 201 group sessions and events in 2022123, with regular provision now in every district and city. Through our services we provide not only an essential sense of community, solidarity and support, but also actively celebrate, cliscuss and enjoy difference and this is evident in the diversity of the young people accessing our services as well as our staff team and Board. Over ￿0-thirdS of the young people we worked with shared with us that they have a disability, neurodivergence or long term health condition. 80 % of our services users are White British, IOO/o are White European or from another White background, and IOO/o are from the Global Majority. It's my final year of being Chair of Trustees, and I have been extremely proud to work alongside such a dedicated and passionate group of staff and Trustees providing such essential support. I'm looking foNard to supporting my fellow Trustee Trowan Midgley into Ihe role going forward. It's crucial during times like these to celebrate everything about being LGBTQ+ where we find safety to. Our claiming of joy is now, and always has been, a form of resistance against prejudice and discrimination. Onwards with pride, Ceri Ceri Litriechild. Chair of Trustees

About The Kite Trust In 2020 The Kite Trust adopted a new strategic plan to provide clarity for how we will work towards our vision and purpose over the following five years. This plan centred on 'Cultivating Community, and as we pass the mid-point of implementing this plan il will be useful to reflect on the progress against key areas in this impact report. We set out to focus on the lives, needs and interests of LGBTQ+ young people in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and the surrounding areas. We set out to connect LGBTQ+ young people with role models, other Se￿iceS and each other. And we set out to strengthen the charity's reputation, resilience and key resources to ensure its sustainability. Supporting us across these three areas, we also refreshed our vision, purpose and values. Our Vision We envisage an inclusive society where LGBTQ+ young people are healthy, successful and celebrated. Our Purpose We support the wellbeing and creativity of LGBTQ+ young people in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and surrounding areas through information, support and groups. We build inclusive communities to tackle inequalities Ihrough consultancy, training and education to all sectors. Our Values Relevant - Our learning and development is continuous. Engaging - We are warm and welcoming. Accessible - We create inclusive communities and safe spaces. Community Led - We are motivated by the voices of LGBTQ+ young people. High Quality - Our support and guidance are of Ihe highest quality. Ip

"I can't thank you enough for providing o safe environment for my 14.year.old to make friends and feel comfortable. Parent Qur Framework At The Kite Trust, our activities are based on a theory of change which seeks to address discrimination againsl LGBTQ+ young people and the negative impacts it has on them. We work directly with young people, but also with their families and communities, and seek to improve inclusion within spaces they access such as schools, healthcare, social care, voluntary sector and employers. We can empower LGBTQ+ young people, but unless we address the sources of discrimination and disadvantage that they face, we will not be able to fully eliminate the negalive impacts.

-1 enjoy connecting with people and feeling accepted. I go to a very trans.queer hostile school so it helps me feel more welcome. Young Person Our Activities Our activities all contribute towards the aims of our strategic plan - 'Cultivating Community 2020-2025,. Here we reflect on what we have done over the last year under the headings of our three strategic strands.. Focus, Connect and Grow. Focus: To focus on the lives, needs and interests of LGBTQ+ young people in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and the surrounding areas, we set out to: l. Ensure our values and a culture of youth leadership and appreciation of intersectional experiences are embedded in all of our activities. We have continued to embed our organisational values and youth leadership across our programming. This has included.. Continuing to devise and produce collaborative group behaviour agreements with Ihe young people we support, allowing them to feed into these agreements with the issues and areas that are most important to them - listening to their needs and requirements. Providing a wealth of youth-led activities across our programming. Incorporating youth leadership opportunilies throughout our programming - running skill and confi'dence development activities focused on youth leadership, including providing specific youth leadership residentials. Onboarding service users into both voluntary and paid roles within the organisation.

  1. Provide a safe and accessible environment and encourage participation in ways that take into account the diversity of LGBTQ+ young people. In 2022-23 our Youth Work Programme consisted of a diverse range of activities across all districts and cities of Cambridge and Peterborough, to ensure that we are supporting all LGBTQ+ young people including accessible events, IOOO/o sober spaces, a neurodiverse group and remotelonline offerings. We provided 180 youth groups in seven different locations to ensure that LGBTQ+ young people across the couniy could access support. These included weekly provisions in Cambridge, Ely and Peterborough and fortnightly provisions in Huntingdon, Wisbech, March and St Neots. In addition, we provided two online youth groups- our Disabled and Neurodiverse group, and Trans, Non-Binary and Gender Questioning group.
  2. Continue to invest in youth participation and leadership in all aspects of The Kite Trust's work by providing space for young people to explore their experiences and communicate priorities to staff and trustees. This year saw the establishment and commencement of our Youth Panel in October
  3. Young people were invited to apply to become members and have since met regularly. Their first project was the organisation and planning of our Queer Prom event. Unfortunately due to venue difficulties Ihis had to be postponed to December 2023, but they will continue to feed into the evenl management. The Panel will also continue to inform the organisation's practices and operate as a sounding board and consullalive measure for The Kite Trust going fomard. The Young People's Steering Group for our mental health research project also continued to meet across the year and provided invaluable feedback on the project and the creative output- a zine which was passed over to the youth work team for creation. -1 learnt that I'm able to do thing5 1 didn't think possible. world was very small before l joined The Kite Trust and I was very lonely. But by going to the Youth Clubs. ￿eetr and Eats and The Camp I huve meet new people and l am more confident in my ability to manage in scary situations. Young Person

-your services have been absolutely life changing for my teenager. After being completely socially isolated no school or friends . for months. we attended a meet and eat where he immediately felt safe and welcome. and the weekly local group has become a highlight of the week. I can't tell you how much it means to us as parents to see him start to have friends and fun again. Kite Trust has been a big bright light in a dark year thank you. Parent 4. Involve young people in leadership roles within The Kite Trust, including as trustees. This year we onboarded knjo new young Trustees and retained a service user on our board of Trustees. We supported service users to become volunteers and Youth Work Assistants, and continue to provide youth leadership skill development opportunities for 5. Offer practical information and training for LGBTQ+ young people in life skills relevant to their experiences and aspirations. We continued to provide a diverse range of programme activities to develop a wide range of skills amongst the young people we work with. Sessions included using power tools, building team working skills, and workshops in nail art and make up. We were pleased to run a CV and Interview Skills day with Johnson Matthey and one of the attendees has since been able to secure their first permanent employment position. 6. Advocate for LGBTQ+ young people in policy processes, healthcare, and other contexts. 2022-23 saw the completion of our year-long research project exploring LGBTQ+ young people's experiences of accessing, or trying to access, mental health support, and their views on how to improve access to appropriate support. The findings from this report have been disseminated nationally with a variety of stakeholders including mental health professionals, policy makers, young people and their families. Our findings are actively effecting positive change, improving the experiences of young LGBTQ+ people seeking mental health support through direct work with local health care providers and rnental health professionals.

-TKT iyere the first people to really accept me for who l am. Everyone has always been so welcoming and I feel safe here. Young Person Connect: To connect LGBTQ+ young people with role models, other services and each other, we set out to: l. Provide high quality youth work which connects LGBTQ+ young people with each other to create a sense of belonging and peer support, and with other services. We continued to diversify the Youth Work programme - providing a wealth of various activities clirected by the young people we work with. These included: Cambridge 13-17's and 18-30's Youth Groups Disabled And Neurodiverse Online Youth Group Ely 13-25's Youth Group Huntingdon 13-25's Youth Group March 13-25's Youth Group Meet and Eats Online Age Based Youth Groups Peterborough 13-17's and 18-30's Youth Groups Residential Programme School Holiday Programmes Sl Neots 13-25's Youth Group Swimming Project The Kite Trust Youth Panel Trans, Non-Binary and Gender Questioning Youth Group Wisbech 13-25's Youth Group Young People's Mental Health Project Steering Group We continued to extend our geographical area, opening an additional group in Fenland at Wisbech, and increased attendance across all of our groups and activilies across the year. In addition, 2022-23 saw the onboarding of a new part-time Youth Work Co-ordinator to support the administration and organisation of the youth work programme, alongside a third full-time Youth Worker.

-Every day I learn something neiy... I have learnt so much about myself. and how having supportive and encouraging leaders has given me the confidence in my ability that I have today. Staff Member 2. Work with schools, colleges and other youth organisations to create inclusive environments for LGBTQ+ young people, including spaces where they can connect with each other. In 2022-23 we onboarded 23 new schools to the Rainbow Flag Award and renewed 3 schools alongside delivering 23 school workshops - helping to tackle bullying in schools and taking a whole-school approach to LGBTQ+ inclusion. Throughout the year we developed our relationship with 20Twenty Productions, attending their marketplace day in March 2022 and collaboratively working on both our Thriving Minds and Young Health Programme projects. This relationship is continuing in 2023 as they become Ihe first local youth organisation to take on an amended version of the Rainbow Flag Award, In November 2022, we ran a workshop at the County Council Youth Work Conference which supported 20 youth workers from different organisations. In addition, the year saw the completion of the joint 2-year Bereavement Peer Support Project with Woodcraft Folk which supported young people to create youth work resources which support those experiencing peer bereavement. 3. Cultivate a community in which both adults and young people can become role models, inspiring LGBTQ+ young people to live authentic lives. Our Annual 2023 Staff Survey found that 88 % identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community and 56(Yo identify as trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming or gender diverse. Amongst our volunteers, IOOO/o identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community and 83(Yo idenlify as trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming andlor gender diverse. This provides vital role models throughout our work and this lived experience also provides invaluable experience and knowledge,. we understand the challenges and needs of LGBTQ+ young people and we can incorporate these into our programming and across the organisation.

-[TKT activitiesl brighten up my week and they are fun and accessible. Young Person 4. Develop an online presence that is relevant, informative and engaging for both LGBTQ+ young people and other stakeholders of The Kite Trust. 2022-23 saw the implementation of our new website - streamlining information and increasing accessibility for the young people we support. In addition, this allowed us to create a new online resource hub, enabling young people to find invaluable resources and signposting material. We have continued to bolster our social media presence across all platforms and to a variety of audiences - growing our Facebook following to 1,635, Instagram to 1,302 and Linkedln to 863. 5. Ensure we identify and use locally accessible and fit for purpose facilities across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough for all of our work. Across Ihe year we made many venue changes to ensure we were using accessible venues that were easy to reach. In addition, this year saw us move to a new office space in Ely which allowed to open Cambridgeshire LGBTQ+ Centre - a hub for LGBTQ+ youth in particular. This venue has allowed us to create a static, safe space for LGBTQ+ youth where we are able to undertake multiple activities including our weekly Ely youth group and our School Holiday Programmes. In addition, this has enabled us lo launch the TKT Free Shop and physical access to our LGBTQ+ library. -It's a great place for me to go and socialise without fear of judgement. and to express myself however I wish, and without feeling as if l owe anyone anything beyond decency. Young Person

-TKT is by far the best place I have worked. I feel staff really matter to the organisation and that TKT is always trying to support as much as possible. Staff ember Strengthen: To strengthen the charity's reputation, resilience and key resources to ensure its sustainability, we set out to: l. Secure a diverse portfolio of income streams and move away from a dependency on project-based work as a primary source of income. We continued to diversify our income sources - receiving funding from an increased number of regular donors, general supporters, events fundraising, crowdfunders, statutory funding, and grants from trusts and foundations. We organised a number of fundraising events including Queer Valentine's, Queer Prom, Skydives and an Inflatable Run. We maintained statutory funding, including funding for 2023-24 and secured a number of grants from a variety of Trusts and Foundations. In addition, we have continued to apply for multi-year and core funding opportunities to ensure organisational sustainability and flexibility. Our fundraising income breakdown was as follows: Donations - £21.5k Corporate Partners - £9.5k Fundraising Events - £llk Statutory Funders £25k Trust, Foundation and Grant Funders - £247k he rust. ¥•T• l•¢th••l•l T

-1 want to thank everyone for making TKT an awesome place of work. Everyone ha5 a massive part of making it an incredible place of work. and even when work loud is high and overwhelming. the support and love f rom everyone is priceless. Staff ￿ernber 2. Become the LGBTQ+ trainer of choice for the East of England. In 2022-23 we delivered training across the region and beyond, to a variety of schools, charities, local authorities, health care providers and corporate organisations. These were delivered and facilitated by staff and a team of five Associate Trainers, all bringing diverse skills and experience to the team. We delivered 112 training sessions and workshops to 93 different organisations, reaching approximately 2,699 individuals, broken down as.. School staff and governors.. 601 School pupils.. 920 Other professionals: 1,078 Parentslcarers: approx. 100 We have already received recommissions for 2023-24 from existing clients, including Addenbrooke's, Essex Social Care Academy (ESCA) and Hertfordshire Applied Mental Health Practitioners 3. Ensure we have a robust policy framework and efficient processes supported by adequate resources. This year the saw the development and review of key policies and procedures to ensure we are meeting best practice guidance and working as exemplary seNice provider and employer. We continued to maintain our policy review procedure with the Board of Trustees. 4. Retain a strong frontline staff team. In our 2023 Annual Staff Survey, 94 % rated TKT as an excellent employer and 100 would recommend TKT as an employer. "TKT is by far the greatest employer of all time. I have never felt as valued, supported and respected as much as I do at TKT. It really is appreciated." Staff Member "TKT is the healthiest. most supportive working environment that I've ever been a part of." Staff Member

Qur Outcomes Our strategic plan and theory of change describe eight intended outcomes from our work. This is how we have achieved against Ihese in 2022-23. l. Increased confidence and self-esteem for young people In our 2023 Young People's Annual Survey, 75 % rated an increase in confidence since accessing our seNices and 60Yo rated an increase in their self-esteem. 2.

In addition, within our Mental Health Research Project, researching the barriers that young LGBTQ+ people face when trying to access mental health sUPPOrt, we shared our findings within our Professionals Steering Group which was made up of voluntary, health and public sector organisations. Our continued collaborations within the Fullscope Network and Woodcraft Folk has also increased the awareness and value of our services across the region.

-1 ve learnt that sometimes you might feel like you re the only who who s struggling with dysphoria in your city but when l joined youth group I realise I wasn't the only one and that there are people like me. Young Person 5. Increased positive health and wellbeing outcomes for young people We have continued to use the Five Ways to Wellbeing as a framework for all Youth Work activity across the year and launched our Young Health Programme (YHP) project in December, which uses this framework. The YHP is funded by Plan UK and Astrazeneca whose aim is to improve wellbeing for young people across the region. This project will continue for the next 18 months. Each year, we run an anonymous feedback survey for our young people. This year 66% raled an increase in their overall wellbeing since accessing The Kite Trust. When asked what the best thing about services at The Kite Trust is, respondents replied as follows.. "That they brighten up my week and they are fun and accessible." 'The understanding of queer issues. Not many services understand what it's like to be LGB TQ and it makes the Kite Trust feel like coming 170me." "The youth workers are very welcoming and kind." "They provide a space to just be myself and where I don't feel awkward about different parts of my identity." .(•

-[The best thing about The Kite Trust is that] everyone truly cares and it's really tailored to my needs Young Person 6. Increased levels of understanding of LGBTQ+ topics amongst schoolslcolleges, their students and families, service users and their families, and the general public, public, private and voluntary sector professionals. Across Ihe year we worked with 26 schools on the Rainbow Flag Award and delivered workshops to 23 schools, supporting schools to develop LGBTQ+ inclusive practices. Participants in the Rainbow Flag Award shared the following: "The inforn7ation was extremely helpful and I'm excited to share it with the other staff at schooll" "I feel like I m a knowledgeable and progressive person and I know I still learned." "The Kite Trust Rainbow Flag training was very good. Informative, engaging and incredibly knowledgeable facilitators who were generous in sharing their own stories with the group." "It was a very infonnative and interactive training that created a space lor lots ol questions and went far beyond the standard (usually terminology only focused) LGB TQ+ trainings I've been to." 'EER

  1. Increased sense of belonging, safety and feeling valued at schoollcollege for young people and educational professionals. As noted above, the Rainbow Flag Award aims to improve LGBTQ+ inclusion in schools for both students and staff. Increased inclusion and awareness helps to improve feelings of belonging and safety. Participants in the Award shared: "This is an area that l am extremely passionate about, but even if I hadn't arrived with this passion, this course would have created it. It presented the need for this training so clearly - considering why our schools need increased support and diversity and the many ways in which we could do this." "This training is eye-opening. It was great to see how we can implement more inclusivity in our school. Couldn't fault the course one bit. Excellent." "The training is so invaluable and will provide such a strong foundation for staff at our school to help improve the lives of our LGB TQIA+ students.
  2. Improvements in academic achievement and attendance. Case Study.. A young person we worked with this year had not socially transitioned, although her mum and a couple of members of staff al her school knew of her identity. Her attendance was poor on days when she had PE, and school made no reasonable adjustment in helping her to attend on these days. After having several sessions of individual support with her, one of our Youth Workers established that she was absent from school on those days because she was being made to participate in gendered PE lessons. Our Youth Worker advocated for her within the school, and she now does not have to participate in PE class but is able to practice piano during those session instead. Her overall school attendance as a result has improved.

RefLections After the last few years of lockdowns and pandemic restrictions, the year 2022123 gave us plenty of opportunity to build back up and then extend our youth work programmes- now delivering both face to face and online across the whole county (and beyond)! Our schools and training team also expanded their reach and continued to champion inclusive education environments, services and employment practices with hundreds of participants. However, it wasn't an easy year and we found ourselves facing pressures from an inflated cost of living, continued increases in LGBTQphobia (and especially transphobia), and a competitive fundraising climate. The board had to take some tough decisions in autumn 2022 around our budget, though we managed to also make progress on our commitment to staff wellbeing and reduced our full time equivalent working week from 37.5 to 35 hours per week in September 2022 - part of a long-term plan working towards a 4-day week. I'm also proud of the resilience of The Kite Trust team, young people and our wider LGBTQ+ community, though very much wish they didn't need to be quile so often. In February 2023, a window of the Cambridgeshire LGBTQ+ Centre in Ely was smashed, but it was more remarkable in the community's reaction and outpouring of support. Despite the time that has passed the words we shared with our community following this incident seem pertinent to include in a reflection on our impacl this year.. "On Friday night somebody decided to take out Iheir anger and frustration at the world right now on one ol our windows. Another local business who prominently display pride flags and symbols of their pagan faith (Positively Magickal) had their windows and some of their stock damaged the same evening. Nobody was hurt in the incidents. We know as LGB TQ+ people it is incredibly scary when someone seek5 to cause harm because they fear or feel hatred towards the symbols of our community. But instead I want to highlight to everyone connected to The Kite Trust actually just how much you are loved, valued and how much our wder community Gares. Within a couple of hours Lrol1￿rbll1leS have fvndraised more than enough for our repairs and any additional donations we'll make Sure go towards LGB TQ+ young people feeling cared for within our building and wider servicesl Our community is full of love and that is a powertul force in the face of hatel We won't be inlimidated.". Posled to The Kite Trust s Instagram page By spring 2023, though, we were ending the financial year with optimism and hope- a number of successful grants put us on a more secure footing and new collaborations were developing to help us expand services even further. A reflection on 2022123 can only touch upon the germination of those developments though, and I will leave you here with the hope of hearing more about what we achieved next year. Dr. Pip Gardner, Chief Executive

The Kite Trust. lJ•nd•rwd••wJ•llty The Kite Trust is a registered charity in England & Wales (1189936), registered office.. 70 Market Street, Ely, C87 4LS

Annual Report April 2Q22 to March 2Q23 The Kite Trust. Oender and sexuallty Supportlng young peopl• Registered Charity No. 1189936

Chair of Trustees Introduction In a year where the media and political climate has remained both polarising and perseculory, the work of The Kite Trust has remained vitally important in providing a sense of support and community for LGBTQ+ young people and their families. During 2022123 we worked with 500 LGBTQ+ young people across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, as well as a further 88 of their parents, carers and family members. The youngest was 7 at the start of the year and young adults have stayed involved through lo their 30th birthdays, though the majority of those engaged with our seNices continued to be 15 to 25 year olds. We undertook 477 hours of individual support for young people during the year and a further 30 hours of direct support to parents and carers. We ran a total of 201 group sessions and events in 2022123, with regular provision now in every district and city. Through our services we provide not only an essential sense of community, solidarity and support, but also actively celebrate, cliscuss and enjoy difference and this is evident in the diversity of the young people accessing our services as well as our staff team and Board. Over ￿0-thirdS of the young people we worked with shared with us that they have a disability, neurodivergence or long term health condition. 80 % of our services users are White British, IOO/o are White European or from another White background, and IOO/o are from the Global Majority. It's my final year of being Chair of Trustees, and I have been extremely proud to work alongside such a dedicated and passionate group of staff and Trustees providing such essential support. I'm looking foNard to supporting my fellow Trustee Trowan Midgley into Ihe role going forward. It's crucial during times like these to celebrate everything about being LGBTQ+ where we find safety to. Our claiming of joy is now, and always has been, a form of resistance against prejudice and discrimination. Onwards with pride, Ceri Ceri Litriechild. Chair of Trustees

About The Kite Trust In 2020 The Kite Trust adopted a new strategic plan to provide clarity for how we will work towards our vision and purpose over the following five years. This plan centred on 'Cultivating Community, and as we pass the mid-point of implementing this plan il will be useful to reflect on the progress against key areas in this impact report. We set out to focus on the lives, needs and interests of LGBTQ+ young people in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and the surrounding areas. We set out to connect LGBTQ+ young people with role models, other Se￿iceS and each other. And we set out to strengthen the charity's reputation, resilience and key resources to ensure its sustainability. Supporting us across these three areas, we also refreshed our vision, purpose and values. Our Vision We envisage an inclusive society where LGBTQ+ young people are healthy, successful and celebrated. Our Purpose We support the wellbeing and creativity of LGBTQ+ young people in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and surrounding areas through information, support and groups. We build inclusive communities to tackle inequalities Ihrough consultancy, training and education to all sectors. Our Values Relevant - Our learning and development is continuous. Engaging - We are warm and welcoming. Accessible - We create inclusive communities and safe spaces. Community Led - We are motivated by the voices of LGBTQ+ young people. High Quality - Our support and guidance are of Ihe highest quality. Ip

"I can't thank you enough for providing o safe environment for my 14.year.old to make friends and feel comfortable. Parent Qur Framework At The Kite Trust, our activities are based on a theory of change which seeks to address discrimination againsl LGBTQ+ young people and the negative impacts it has on them. We work directly with young people, but also with their families and communities, and seek to improve inclusion within spaces they access such as schools, healthcare, social care, voluntary sector and employers. We can empower LGBTQ+ young people, but unless we address the sources of discrimination and disadvantage that they face, we will not be able to fully eliminate the negalive impacts.

-1 enjoy connecting with people and feeling accepted. I go to a very trans.queer hostile school so it helps me feel more welcome. Young Person Our Activities Our activities all contribute towards the aims of our strategic plan - 'Cultivating Community 2020-2025,. Here we reflect on what we have done over the last year under the headings of our three strategic strands.. Focus, Connect and Grow. Focus: To focus on the lives, needs and interests of LGBTQ+ young people in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and the surrounding areas, we set out to: l. Ensure our values and a culture of youth leadership and appreciation of intersectional experiences are embedded in all of our activities. We have continued to embed our organisational values and youth leadership across our programming. This has included.. Continuing to devise and produce collaborative group behaviour agreements with Ihe young people we support, allowing them to feed into these agreements with the issues and areas that are most important to them - listening to their needs and requirements. Providing a wealth of youth-led activities across our programming. Incorporating youth leadership opportunilies throughout our programming - running skill and confi'dence development activities focused on youth leadership, including providing specific youth leadership residentials. Onboarding service users into both voluntary and paid roles within the organisation.

  1. Provide a safe and accessible environment and encourage participation in ways that take into account the diversity of LGBTQ+ young people. In 2022-23 our Youth Work Programme consisted of a diverse range of activities across all districts and cities of Cambridge and Peterborough, to ensure that we are supporting all LGBTQ+ young people including accessible events, IOOO/o sober spaces, a neurodiverse group and remotelonline offerings. We provided 180 youth groups in seven different locations to ensure that LGBTQ+ young people across the couniy could access support. These included weekly provisions in Cambridge, Ely and Peterborough and fortnightly provisions in Huntingdon, Wisbech, March and St Neots. In addition, we provided two online youth groups- our Disabled and Neurodiverse group, and Trans, Non-Binary and Gender Questioning group.
  2. Continue to invest in youth participation and leadership in all aspects of The Kite Trust's work by providing space for young people to explore their experiences and communicate priorities to staff and trustees. This year saw the establishment and commencement of our Youth Panel in October
  3. Young people were invited to apply to become members and have since met regularly. Their first project was the organisation and planning of our Queer Prom event. Unfortunately due to venue difficulties Ihis had to be postponed to December 2023, but they will continue to feed into the evenl management. The Panel will also continue to inform the organisation's practices and operate as a sounding board and consullalive measure for The Kite Trust going fomard. The Young People's Steering Group for our mental health research project also continued to meet across the year and provided invaluable feedback on the project and the creative output- a zine which was passed over to the youth work team for creation. -1 learnt that I'm able to do thing5 1 didn't think possible. world was very small before l joined The Kite Trust and I was very lonely. But by going to the Youth Clubs. ￿eetr and Eats and The Camp I huve meet new people and l am more confident in my ability to manage in scary situations. Young Person

-your services have been absolutely life changing for my teenager. After being completely socially isolated no school or friends . for months. we attended a meet and eat where he immediately felt safe and welcome. and the weekly local group has become a highlight of the week. I can't tell you how much it means to us as parents to see him start to have friends and fun again. Kite Trust has been a big bright light in a dark year thank you. Parent 4. Involve young people in leadership roles within The Kite Trust, including as trustees. This year we onboarded knjo new young Trustees and retained a service user on our board of Trustees. We supported service users to become volunteers and Youth Work Assistants, and continue to provide youth leadership skill development opportunities for 5. Offer practical information and training for LGBTQ+ young people in life skills relevant to their experiences and aspirations. We continued to provide a diverse range of programme activities to develop a wide range of skills amongst the young people we work with. Sessions included using power tools, building team working skills, and workshops in nail art and make up. We were pleased to run a CV and Interview Skills day with Johnson Matthey and one of the attendees has since been able to secure their first permanent employment position. 6. Advocate for LGBTQ+ young people in policy processes, healthcare, and other contexts. 2022-23 saw the completion of our year-long research project exploring LGBTQ+ young people's experiences of accessing, or trying to access, mental health support, and their views on how to improve access to appropriate support. The findings from this report have been disseminated nationally with a variety of stakeholders including mental health professionals, policy makers, young people and their families. Our findings are actively effecting positive change, improving the experiences of young LGBTQ+ people seeking mental health support through direct work with local health care providers and rnental health professionals.

-TKT iyere the first people to really accept me for who l am. Everyone has always been so welcoming and I feel safe here. Young Person Connect: To connect LGBTQ+ young people with role models, other services and each other, we set out to: l. Provide high quality youth work which connects LGBTQ+ young people with each other to create a sense of belonging and peer support, and with other services. We continued to diversify the Youth Work programme - providing a wealth of various activities clirected by the young people we work with. These included: Cambridge 13-17's and 18-30's Youth Groups Disabled And Neurodiverse Online Youth Group Ely 13-25's Youth Group Huntingdon 13-25's Youth Group March 13-25's Youth Group Meet and Eats Online Age Based Youth Groups Peterborough 13-17's and 18-30's Youth Groups Residential Programme School Holiday Programmes Sl Neots 13-25's Youth Group Swimming Project The Kite Trust Youth Panel Trans, Non-Binary and Gender Questioning Youth Group Wisbech 13-25's Youth Group Young People's Mental Health Project Steering Group We continued to extend our geographical area, opening an additional group in Fenland at Wisbech, and increased attendance across all of our groups and activilies across the year. In addition, 2022-23 saw the onboarding of a new part-time Youth Work Co-ordinator to support the administration and organisation of the youth work programme, alongside a third full-time Youth Worker.

-Every day I learn something neiy... I have learnt so much about myself. and how having supportive and encouraging leaders has given me the confidence in my ability that I have today. Staff Member 2. Work with schools, colleges and other youth organisations to create inclusive environments for LGBTQ+ young people, including spaces where they can connect with each other. In 2022-23 we onboarded 23 new schools to the Rainbow Flag Award and renewed 3 schools alongside delivering 23 school workshops - helping to tackle bullying in schools and taking a whole-school approach to LGBTQ+ inclusion. Throughout the year we developed our relationship with 20Twenty Productions, attending their marketplace day in March 2022 and collaboratively working on both our Thriving Minds and Young Health Programme projects. This relationship is continuing in 2023 as they become Ihe first local youth organisation to take on an amended version of the Rainbow Flag Award, In November 2022, we ran a workshop at the County Council Youth Work Conference which supported 20 youth workers from different organisations. In addition, the year saw the completion of the joint 2-year Bereavement Peer Support Project with Woodcraft Folk which supported young people to create youth work resources which support those experiencing peer bereavement. 3. Cultivate a community in which both adults and young people can become role models, inspiring LGBTQ+ young people to live authentic lives. Our Annual 2023 Staff Survey found that 88 % identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community and 56(Yo identify as trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming or gender diverse. Amongst our volunteers, IOOO/o identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community and 83(Yo idenlify as trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming andlor gender diverse. This provides vital role models throughout our work and this lived experience also provides invaluable experience and knowledge,. we understand the challenges and needs of LGBTQ+ young people and we can incorporate these into our programming and across the organisation.

-[TKT activitiesl brighten up my week and they are fun and accessible. Young Person 4. Develop an online presence that is relevant, informative and engaging for both LGBTQ+ young people and other stakeholders of The Kite Trust. 2022-23 saw the implementation of our new website - streamlining information and increasing accessibility for the young people we support. In addition, this allowed us to create a new online resource hub, enabling young people to find invaluable resources and signposting material. We have continued to bolster our social media presence across all platforms and to a variety of audiences - growing our Facebook following to 1,635, Instagram to 1,302 and Linkedln to 863. 5. Ensure we identify and use locally accessible and fit for purpose facilities across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough for all of our work. Across Ihe year we made many venue changes to ensure we were using accessible venues that were easy to reach. In addition, this year saw us move to a new office space in Ely which allowed to open Cambridgeshire LGBTQ+ Centre - a hub for LGBTQ+ youth in particular. This venue has allowed us to create a static, safe space for LGBTQ+ youth where we are able to undertake multiple activities including our weekly Ely youth group and our School Holiday Programmes. In addition, this has enabled us lo launch the TKT Free Shop and physical access to our LGBTQ+ library. -It's a great place for me to go and socialise without fear of judgement. and to express myself however I wish, and without feeling as if l owe anyone anything beyond decency. Young Person

-TKT is by far the best place I have worked. I feel staff really matter to the organisation and that TKT is always trying to support as much as possible. Staff ember Strengthen: To strengthen the charity's reputation, resilience and key resources to ensure its sustainability, we set out to: l. Secure a diverse portfolio of income streams and move away from a dependency on project-based work as a primary source of income. We continued to diversify our income sources - receiving funding from an increased number of regular donors, general supporters, events fundraising, crowdfunders, statutory funding, and grants from trusts and foundations. We organised a number of fundraising events including Queer Valentine's, Queer Prom, Skydives and an Inflatable Run. We maintained statutory funding, including funding for 2023-24 and secured a number of grants from a variety of Trusts and Foundations. In addition, we have continued to apply for multi-year and core funding opportunities to ensure organisational sustainability and flexibility. Our fundraising income breakdown was as follows: Donations - £21.5k Corporate Partners - £9.5k Fundraising Events - £llk Statutory Funders £25k Trust, Foundation and Grant Funders - £247k he rust. ¥•T• l•¢th••l•l T

-1 want to thank everyone for making TKT an awesome place of work. Everyone ha5 a massive part of making it an incredible place of work. and even when work loud is high and overwhelming. the support and love f rom everyone is priceless. Staff ￿ernber 2. Become the LGBTQ+ trainer of choice for the East of England. In 2022-23 we delivered training across the region and beyond, to a variety of schools, charities, local authorities, health care providers and corporate organisations. These were delivered and facilitated by staff and a team of five Associate Trainers, all bringing diverse skills and experience to the team. We delivered 112 training sessions and workshops to 93 different organisations, reaching approximately 2,699 individuals, broken down as.. School staff and governors.. 601 School pupils.. 920 Other professionals: 1,078 Parentslcarers: approx. 100 We have already received recommissions for 2023-24 from existing clients, including Addenbrooke's, Essex Social Care Academy (ESCA) and Hertfordshire Applied Mental Health Practitioners 3. Ensure we have a robust policy framework and efficient processes supported by adequate resources. This year the saw the development and review of key policies and procedures to ensure we are meeting best practice guidance and working as exemplary seNice provider and employer. We continued to maintain our policy review procedure with the Board of Trustees. 4. Retain a strong frontline staff team. In our 2023 Annual Staff Survey, 94 % rated TKT as an excellent employer and 100 would recommend TKT as an employer. "TKT is by far the greatest employer of all time. I have never felt as valued, supported and respected as much as I do at TKT. It really is appreciated." Staff Member "TKT is the healthiest. most supportive working environment that I've ever been a part of." Staff Member

Qur Outcomes Our strategic plan and theory of change describe eight intended outcomes from our work. This is how we have achieved against Ihese in 2022-23. l. Increased confidence and self-esteem for young people In our 2023 Young People's Annual Survey, 75 % rated an increase in confidence since accessing our seNices and 60Yo rated an increase in their self-esteem. 2. Increased skills and knowledge for young people In our 2023 Young People's Annual Survey, 730/0 shared they had learnt new skills or knowledge as a result of accessing our services, and 8496 felt that they have a better understanding of LGBT+ identities. 3 .Increased sense of belonging, safety and feeling valued at The Kite Trust for young people, staff, trustees and other volunteers In our 2023 Annual Surveys, IOOU/o of young people shared that they feel safe, 84% feel a sense of belonging and 86% feel valued at The Kite Trust. 82% feel the voices of young people are important to The Kite Trust.

Increased awareness of and value of The Kite Trust's services amongst voluntary, public and private sector organisations in Cambridgeshire, East of England and Nationally Across the year we have delivered training lo 93 different organisations across the voluntary, public and private sector. In addition, within our Mental Health Research Project, researching the barriers that young LGBTQ+ people face when trying to access mental health sUPPOrt, we shared our findings within our Professionals Steering Group which was made up of voluntary, health and public sector organisations. Our continued collaborations within the Fullscope Network and Woodcraft Folk has also increased the awareness and value of our services across the region.

-1 ve learnt that sometimes you might feel like you re the only who who s struggling with dysphoria in your city but when l joined youth group I realise I wasn't the only one and that there are people like me. Young Person 5. Increased positive health and wellbeing outcomes for young people We have continued to use the Five Ways to Wellbeing as a framework for all Youth Work activity across the year and launched our Young Health Programme (YHP) project in December, which uses this framework. The YHP is funded by Plan UK and Astrazeneca whose aim is to improve wellbeing for young people across the region. This project will continue for the next 18 months. Each year, we run an anonymous feedback survey for our young people. This year 66% raled an increase in their overall wellbeing since accessing The Kite Trust. When asked what the best thing about services at The Kite Trust is, respondents replied as follows.. "That they brighten up my week and they are fun and accessible." 'The understanding of queer issues. Not many services understand what it's like to be LGB TQ and it makes the Kite Trust feel like coming 170me." "The youth workers are very welcoming and kind." "They provide a space to just be myself and where I don't feel awkward about different parts of my identity." .(•

-[The best thing about The Kite Trust is that] everyone truly cares and it's really tailored to my needs Young Person 6. Increased levels of understanding of LGBTQ+ topics amongst schoolslcolleges, their students and families, service users and their families, and the general public, public, private and voluntary sector professionals. Across Ihe year we worked with 26 schools on the Rainbow Flag Award and delivered workshops to 23 schools, supporting schools to develop LGBTQ+ inclusive practices. Participants in the Rainbow Flag Award shared the following: "The inforn7ation was extremely helpful and I'm excited to share it with the other staff at schooll" "I feel like I m a knowledgeable and progressive person and I know I still learned." "The Kite Trust Rainbow Flag training was very good. Informative, engaging and incredibly knowledgeable facilitators who were generous in sharing their own stories with the group." "It was a very infonnative and interactive training that created a space lor lots ol questions and went far beyond the standard (usually terminology only focused) LGB TQ+ trainings I've been to." 'EER

  1. Increased sense of belonging, safety and feeling valued at schoollcollege for young people and educational professionals. As noted above, the Rainbow Flag Award aims to improve LGBTQ+ inclusion in schools for both students and staff. Increased inclusion and awareness helps to improve feelings of belonging and safety. Participants in the Award shared: "This is an area that l am extremely passionate about, but even if I hadn't arrived with this passion, this course would have created it. It presented the need for this training so clearly - considering why our schools need increased support and diversity and the many ways in which we could do this." "This training is eye-opening. It was great to see how we can implement more inclusivity in our school. Couldn't fault the course one bit. Excellent." "The training is so invaluable and will provide such a strong foundation for staff at our school to help improve the lives of our LGB TQIA+ students.
  2. Improvements in academic achievement and attendance. Case Study.. A young person we worked with this year had not socially transitioned, although her mum and a couple of members of staff al her school knew of her identity. Her attendance was poor on days when she had PE, and school made no reasonable adjustment in helping her to attend on these days. After having several sessions of individual support with her, one of our Youth Workers established that she was absent from school on those days because she was being made to participate in gendered PE lessons. Our Youth Worker advocated for her within the school, and she now does not have to participate in PE class but is able to practice piano during those session instead. Her overall school attendance as a result has improved.

RefLections After the last few years of lockdowns and pandemic restrictions, the year 2022123 gave us plenty of opportunity to build back up and then extend our youth work programmes- now delivering both face to face and online across the whole county (and beyond)! Our schools and training team also expanded their reach and continued to champion inclusive education environments, services and employment practices with hundreds of participants. However, it wasn't an easy year and we found ourselves facing pressures from an inflated cost of living, continued increases in LGBTQphobia (and especially transphobia), and a competitive fundraising climate. The board had to take some tough decisions in autumn 2022 around our budget, though we managed to also make progress on our commitment to staff wellbeing and reduced our full time equivalent working week from 37.5 to 35 hours per week in September 2022 - part of a long-term plan working towards a 4-day week. I'm also proud of the resilience of The Kite Trust team, young people and our wider LGBTQ+ community, though very much wish they didn't need to be quile so often. In February 2023, a window of the Cambridgeshire LGBTQ+ Centre in Ely was smashed, but it was more remarkable in the community's reaction and outpouring of support. Despite the time that has passed the words we shared with our community following this incident seem pertinent to include in a reflection on our impacl this year.. "On Friday night somebody decided to take out Iheir anger and frustration at the world right now on one ol our windows. Another local business who prominently display pride flags and symbols of their pagan faith (Positively Magickal) had their windows and some of their stock damaged the same evening. Nobody was hurt in the incidents. We know as LGB TQ+ people it is incredibly scary when someone seek5 to cause harm because they fear or feel hatred towards the symbols of our community. But instead I want to highlight to everyone connected to The Kite Trust actually just how much you are loved, valued and how much our wder community Gares. Within a couple of hours Lrol1￿rbll1leS have fvndraised more than enough for our repairs and any additional donations we'll make Sure go towards LGB TQ+ young people feeling cared for within our building and wider servicesl Our community is full of love and that is a powertul force in the face of hatel We won't be inlimidated.". Posled to The Kite Trust s Instagram page By spring 2023, though, we were ending the financial year with optimism and hope- a number of successful grants put us on a more secure footing and new collaborations were developing to help us expand services even further. A reflection on 2022123 can only touch upon the germination of those developments though, and I will leave you here with the hope of hearing more about what we achieved next year. Dr. Pip Gardner, Chief Executive
