Overall. we have worked with 465 young people this year, highlighting the growin8 need for youth #ervices in Tural
communities. This year we started to record the numbers of young people that are SEND (special educational needs
disabilitiesl which currently stand at 32. The reason we added the SEND column to our monitorinÈ system, was to
ensure adequate support was Sn place for youn8 people with additional needs and the se55ions were staffed
appropriately. We feel that by taking this into account. it helps us with our aim to be inclusive to all young people.
Shackle5 Off deliver 10 youth club ses5ion5 over 5 days every week. During these sessions the young people take part in
fun activitles. games and craft5 while also developing life ski115 such as cooking. We also deliver informal education

residentials. day trips and School holiday provision as part of our programme over the last 12 months

Preventlon programme in Millom School. The programme is de5i8ned to meet the unique needs of young people in
Millom and is aimed at those who are vulnerable, engaging in risk-taking behaviour or are at risk of exclu5È0n and
becoming NEET. Alongside this work we also run I:1 sessions with young people to support theii individual needs and
wellbeing.
We re￿Ived p051tive feedback from teacher5 at Millom schod about the work we delivered last year. Because of this
we were asked to return this year to deliver this programme again.
PTojert l of the New build Scheme is now complete. after protracted delay5. The maln Issue was waiting for BT
