				Level Up Gosport fLUPG) has been established
				for almost 12years, supporting young adults
Summary of the main achievements ofthe charity,			Para 1.20	aged 18- 25years to gain self-respect and confidence via community volunteering for
identifying	the	difference the		local charities and organisations based in and
charity's	work	has made to		around Gosport. Previously, it was a
the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to sodety as a whole.				community organisation known as Loud 8 Proud, but in 2021the Trustees voted to constitute as an independent charity and this
				was approved by The Charities Commission	in
				July 2022.
				LUPG has developed an excellent reputation
				within Gosport and is very proud to announce
				that 80/o ofthe vulnerable young people it
				supports have gone on to either secure
				employment, returned to education orto
				independently volunteer. However, this

			benchmark needed to be evidenced, which is
			why we have involved OWL XLCICto help us to
			capture the positive outcomes we are
			achieving via the software they have
			developed and monitor.
			The majority ofthe young adults that LUPG
			supports have an additional need or a mild
			learning/physical (hidden, neurodivergent)
			disability; or have mental health challenges,
			like lacking in confidence or high anxiety levels
			-but are not in receipt ofan Education, Health
			or Care Plan (EHCP) or are NEET (not in
			Employment, Education orTraining). Many
			come from areas of high deprivation which has
			been exacerbated lately by the pandemic and
			recently because ofthe cost-of-living crisis.
			WEXi (Work Experience initiative) is being
			developed to offer a free, innovative, varied
			programme ofsupported outcome-based work
			experience, partnering with local organisations,
			businesses and charities, e.g.,a local garage,
			cafe, community-led entertainment venue,
			Sheltered Housing charity, plus many more.
			We believe that the young, vulnerable adults
			we support will receive practical experience
			(via volunteering), consolidated by training and
			a support pathway into employment. We
			intend to launch WEXi in June 2023.
			We have recently engaged and were grateful
			to receive some funding from "Communities
			Against Cancer" whereupon we sourced a
			facilitator to train our young people to become
			Cancer Awareness Youth Ambassadors for
			Gosport. Our young people found these
			workshops very engaging and extremely useful.
			Until WEXi is launched and alongside this, the
			LUPG young people will continue to
			participate, via volunteering, at local activities
			and events, attend a fortnightly volunteers
			meeting, as well as cultivating their own
			allotment, where they learn horticultural skills
			with the aim ofbecoming 100/0 organic and
			sustainable. The older allotment holders enjoy
			engaging with, giving advice and exchanging
			produce with the young people.
