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.

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.

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.

2. 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.
3. 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
2022. 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.

-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.

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

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.

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

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.

approximately 2,699 individuals, broken down as..

adequate resources.

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

4. 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."

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

7. 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.
8. 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.

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

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.

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.

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.

2. 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.
3. 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
2022. 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Supported by their colleagues and IOOg6 feel valued. Amongst our volunteers, 100% feel

4. 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."

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

7. 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.
8. 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.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
